Chapter 12: Arrival
In the early morning, the moment when the warm morning sun just stepped out of the sky, the old beggar took Zhao Zhuzi and embarked on the road to Huati Village.
As for Chen Yu and Marijuana, they were left in the mountain temple. After all, this is to ask for help, not to visit relatives, and if there are too many people, it is likely to have the opposite effect.
Looking at the old beggar and Zhao Zhuzi who disappeared into the sky, Zhao Xiaoling did not make noise, but wrung his little hands and stared at Chen Yu beside him with an aggrieved expression.
The tragic lesson of yesterday has been deeply imprinted in her mind, so that when she sees Chen Yu, she always feels aggrieved in her heart.
"Okay, now that Grandpa is gone, let's think about what we should do today. Marijuana said, holding a stick in each of his hands.
"Begging, I don't want to go!" Chen Yu glanced at the marijuana and immediately vetoed. What can hemp do with a stick other than be able to take them to beg?
Saying this, Marijuana suddenly frowned, and looked at Chen Yu and wondered, "Don't go, we're beggars, what are we doing if we don't beg?"
"Huh?" Chen Yu hesitated and took a few steps forward, glanced at the begging equipment for marijuana, and said, "We can go fishing." ”
"But, brother, you were almost eaten by a big crab yesterday. Zhao Xiaoling whispered.
"Uh....." was said like this, Chen Yu's body trembled obviously, and he was still impressed by the big crab yesterday.
"Wow wow––!"
At this time, there were a few crows in the sky, and then a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and galloped towards Chenyu, but at the moment when it was about to approach Chenyu, the fluttering wings flapped sounded.
"Xiao Hei, why are you heavy again? If you don't lose weight, I'm afraid my shoulders won't be able to hold it in the future. Feeling the weight of his shoulders, Chen Yu turned his head and glanced at the marijuana cautiously, and was slightly relieved when he found that the latter's face was quite calm.
For Xiao Hei, marijuana has always been eager to kill the barbecue and then fast. Marijuana, a big crisis lurking around us, must be guarded against.
"You can't go begging, you can't go fishing, so what do you say we're going to do today?"
Hearing this, Chen Yu was stunned.
yes, not begging, not fishing? What are they going to do today?
"Why don't we practice the musical instrument that Grandpa left behind today. Chen Yu said tentatively.
"No, I don't want it, it's not fun at all. Marijuana and Zhao Xiaoling immediately vetoed, and the disgusted expression on their faces seemed to remember something painful.
Their performance made Chen Yu a little difficult.
Since childhood, the old beggars have taught them not to steal chickens and dogs, and to do things that are unreasonable, so that although they are beggars, they have many restrictions.
For example, being a thief stealing money, or selling miserably to deceive the audience, win the audience's sympathy, so as to achieve the purpose of making money.
From here, it is not difficult to see that the old beggar's own beggar road is not ordinary, but it is difficult for the unemployed vagrant of marijuana.
He doesn't have any skills, but he doesn't make money by selling his art like Chen Yu and the old beggars. Even if it is Zhao Zhuzi, he can barely make money by carrying materials for others through his own strength that does not meet his age.
In this way, except for the sister-in-law Liang Zhao Xiaoling, he is left with no strengths. When I think of this, I can't help but feel a burst of heartache.
"In that case, let's go into the mountains. After thinking for a while, Chen Yu made such a decision.
"But there are many terrible beasts in the mountains. Zhao Xiaoling raised his hand again.
Chen Yu: "......"
–––––
Sand Sea City, seaside pier.
The wind on the sea blew gently, raising the flag of the pier and bringing a chill to the people who were carrying supplies at the pier.
The shadows of several ships slowly cut through the mist stained with morning light, and gradually appeared on the shoreline.
As we got closer to the pier, we could see the sheer size of the ship, and the blackened hull of the ship seemed to be watered with drift iron, and you could tell how strong the hull should be just by looking at it.
In the center of both sides is a semicircular iron anchor that blocks the swarthy anchor opening. At the bottom of the hull are two huge wooden wheels that rotate constantly, providing ample power to the hull.
Above the hull of the ship was a gray sail blown into an arc by the wind, and on it was a hideous cyan dragon.
Tenglong Chamber of Commerce!
These ships are from the Sky Chamber of Commerce of the Gaoyun Empire. The Gaoyun Empire is the closest to the border among the many great powers of the human race, and together with the neighboring Mowu Empire and many small countries along the way, it maintains the border and resists the invasion of the orcs.
As for the Soaring Chamber of Commerce, it is one of the largest chambers of commerce in the Gaoyun Empire, because the Sand Sea connects dozens of seas across the continent, and at the same time, there are countless trade objects, and it has also brought great development to the Chamber of Commerce.
It can be said without hesitation that the wealth and resources possessed by the Vacant Chamber of Commerce are no less than those of any big country.
"Turn the rudder, turn the sails, put the sails away, prepare to land!" With the sound of the navigator on the mast, all the sailors on the merchant ship moved in unison, pulled down the sails, unloaded the power, and gradually approached the shore dock.
Finally, with the heavy meal of the merchant ships, they anchored steadily at the wharf on the shore of the sandy coast. Immediately after that, on board, the crowd on the dock began to get busy, confirmation of confirmation, unloading of unloading.
The boatswain scrambled toward the top of the merchant ship with his sword pinned. Until, running out of a room.
Knock knock~!
He knocked on the wooden door and said respectfully, "Third Miss, Shahai City has arrived." ”
After a long silence, a slightly tired soft female voice came from inside the wooden door.
"Captain Peter, please come in. ”
Hearing this, Peter gently stepped back from the wooden door and walked in cautiously.
In the room, Boatswain Peter waited with his head bowed and a respectful look at the woman who was writing on the desk.
The woman is stunning, she is the kind of stunning beauty with a stunning face, every move is full of tenderness, and a smile can make a man lose his soul.
"Third Miss, I got the news, the orc clan has not been honest recently, it seems..."
"Shh
Peter was slightly stunned, raised his head, and inadvertently swept the soft couch behind the woman, and suddenly understood.
Above, a young girl was sleeping soundly under a blanket.
"Don't wake her up, let's go out and talk. The third lady whispered.
Peter nodded, took a step back and gently opened the door, and after the third lady walked out, he gently covered the door and did not close it tightly.
The two walked to the fence of the boat, and then stopped.
"Third Miss, the sentinel ship we sent out is back. Peter was the first to speak.
The third lady raised her hand and slightly brushed the hair hanging from her ears, and said, "Is there any news?"
Hearing this, Peter's face turned pale, and he said, "They said that the Night Charmer of the sea pirate Moro was found in the waters near Sand Sea City. ”
"Morrow?"
Nodding, Peter looked at the third young lady who was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it is the sea thief Morrow." ”
Hearing this, the third lady froze in place and did not answer immediately.
After a long silence, she looked at Peter and asked, "If you are right, how sure are you that boatswain will win?"
Slightly stunned, Peter gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Third Miss, rest assured, my subordinates have arranged a dhows to follow in advance, if they meet at sea, Third Miss and Little Miss will definitely be able to return to the Gaoyun Empire safely." ”
Hearing this, the third lady frowned slightly. She naturally understood the meaning of Peter's words, that is, against the Blood Rain Pirates, they had no chance of winning.
"Is there really no chance of winning?" she asked again.
"No!" At the end, Peter continued, "If we have ten merchant ships this time, let alone the Blood Rain Pirates, even if it is the Moon Snake Pirates who are famous in the sea, we will be safe and sound. ”
"It's just...."Speaking of this, Peter looked at the third lady who was frowning, and didn't dare to say any more.
This time they were carrying too much cargo and not too many men, and if they faced the ferocious and brutal pirates, they would have to fail.
There is no doubt about it!
The pirates are different from them, all of them are human. The pirates are a mess of people, both human and orc, and from this point, they are a little weaker.
Of course, they also have another way to go, which is to stay in Sand Sea City for the time being, quietly waiting for the Blood Rain Pirates to leave.
As a border trading city between orcs and humans, Shahai City naturally has an army stationed. It can be said that as long as any pirate dares to approach the coast for twenty miles, he will be frantically strangled by the armies of the two tribes.
Because, Sand Sea City not only has human races, but also orc races.
"I understand Peter, if it really gets to that point, I will consider staying in Shahai City for a while. The father's orders were important, but the sailor's life could not be given up. After thinking for a while, the third lady spoke up.
"Miss wise. "When Peter bowed, it was rare to meet a master who was considerate of sailors.
"You can retreat first, and I will personally verify the order for the goods in a moment. The third lady glanced at the porters on the dock, "Maintain law and order, pay attention to the safety of the sailors, and also confirm the safety of the cargo." ”
"Yes. After bowing respectfully to the third lady again, Peter slowly retreated.
"Mommy, Mommy, Wow, Mommy. ”
At this moment, a childish and delicate childish voice came from the room.
As soon as she heard this, the third young lady, who was still frowning, suddenly frowned, sighed, and said, "Alas, how did this little ghost wake up so quickly." ”
That being said, there was no impatience on her face, and there was a faint happiness.
