In order to cover the breakthrough of Mo, the fire of our ships has begun to shift to the sides and extend to the rear, in order to delay the charge of the opposing ships! So far, the effect is very good, but the other party has apparently also found a small boat in the middle of the sea!

They began to shoot angrily at the boat—muskets, bows and arrows. But the first round of shooting almost all missed, because they misjudged their speed, and the amount of bullets and arrows fell behind the speedboat!

In the second round, they are bound to increase the amount of advance, and I secretly sweat for the ink in my heart! It turns out that this guy is much smarter than I thought! In the light of the fire, I saw everyone in the boat, except for the helmman, lift a black thing high above their heads! The bullet hit it and sparks flew in all directions! One of them was holding an extraordinarily large black guy, and even the helmsman was protected inside, which was really foolproof!

What is such a good piece of equipment? It wasn't until they broke out of the encirclement and were about to approach us that I saw that it was actually ...... Big pot in the kitchen! Is this a chicken-eating outfit? Is it possible to be completely exempt from injury? In an instant, there were a million possibilities in my heart, but Dai saw these guys proudly carrying black pots and blocking bullets, and they rushed all the way to our fleet speechlessly!

Mo gave me a thumbs up on the side of the boat, and commanded everyone to take out a sharp weapon and chisel at the bottom of the boat! The boat is leaking! A few people grinned and put away their sharp weapons, climbed the rope ladder we threw down, and climbed onto the boat with ape-like agility!

"Retreat!" I ordered loudly. Under Arashi's command, our fleet began to slowly withdraw, drifting away from the west, leaving behind only the fierce sea of fire behind us, still telling the horror of the battle......

By daybreak the next day, we were far from the battlefield, and it was assumed that our fleet was now at about 6 degrees north latitude and 76 degrees west longitude. Our sails were full of the Indian Ocean monsoon, and we headed at full speed for about five degrees north-west. Our first stop was Sograd, on the border between the Indian Ocean and the African continent, from where we resupplied before heading south to Mogadishu.

The Indian Ocean in the middle of summer is a navigator's paradise, the monsoon provides full power, but the sea is very calm and there is very little rain, probably because the rain clouds are more difficult to form under the continuous wind, anyway, I don't really understand. Because the wind was incessant, the heat in the air seemed to be blown away, and standing on the deck did not feel very hot except for the dry skin from the sun.

I slipped a bottle of rum and sat on the foredeck cable, with my back against the mast, taking a sip and a sip. Lately I've been liking this rough taste more and more, and I used to think that the things that sailors liked belonged to the coarse brew, and the stubble in the mouth was hard to drink, but after staying at sea for a long time, it seemed that only this rough feeling was the right taste, and the original delicate red wine felt tasteless when I drank it.

Of course, this also comes from the influence of these days and nights on the sea. Sailors live a monotonous life, so they entertain themselves in all sorts of ways. Under normal circumstances, in the process of sailing, sailing, big turning, emergency stop, and rapid start, they will shout a very rhythmic number, hey, hey! No matter what the language, the trumpet seems to be able to be shouted together, but there is a slight difference in rhythm!

Over time, I also began to like this kind of rhythmic thing, and every time they shouted, no matter what I was doing, I would shout a few times with them to express the strength and feelings in my heart.

Just now, I was sitting here, shouting a few words with a few sailors who had adjusted their mainsails, and when they had finished their work, they saluted me respectfully, while I leaned against the mast and continued to think about my problem.

"Sir, you're here!" The voice of the kite came from behind him. I turned my head, and the guy was dressed in ocean blue, and the corners of his coat were hunting in the sea breeze. The tips of her hair were lifted high by the sea breeze and floated like a dream.

I smiled slightly, did not answer, but handed the rum in my hand to the kite, and the guy took the rum and sat down beside me, and said in the most grinding and chirping, "Oops! Sir, why are you giving me rum to drink again! I'm a weak girl, how can I drink half a bottle of wine? As he spoke, he raised his head, and went down a quarter of a quarter!

This naughty guy! I lifted my hand and rubbed it vigorously on her head. The kite's hair was suddenly rubbed messily by me, and she didn't dodge it a few more times, so she simply got into my arms and hid her head hard!

I was immediately laughed and laughed by this guy, and pulled her ear and laughed: "Silly guy, what are you doing here?" Sit down! How many people read the jokes? ”

But the kite didn't eat this, and said to Laipi: "Look, look, look!" I'm not coming out anyway! ”

I really couldn't help it, so I promised her: "You come out, I'll give you another bottle of rum!" ”

The kite didn't look up, but the urn bargained angrily: "Two bottles!" ”

I slapped her buttocks helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Two bottles!" Get up! ”

The kite sat up with a "whirl", straightened her hair with a smile, and sat back down beside me. I was holding rum in one hand and blowing on the bottle, while the other was reaching out to me. I reluctantly took out another bottle of rum, pulled the cork with a "bang", and handed it to the female drunkard.

The kite drank the remaining quarter of the bottle of wine in one go, and then let out a long sigh. As he took the second bottle, he sat a little closer in my direction and asked me in a low voice, "Sir, we won last night, are you happy?" ”

I opened the third bottle of rum, took a sip, looked at the kite and smiled, "Happy! Why not be happy! ”

The kite smiled, put down the wine bottle, and said softly: "Is it really worth it to give up about a quarter of the power on hand for an illusory reason, and to take such a big risk?" ”

Listening to her words, I was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, what the kite said also made sense. In order to defeat the fleet of the Kaplan Chamber of Commerce by defeating the weak, I destroyed one of my ships before the battle began. The crude oil was picked up from the bazaar in Sri Lanka, and I almost sold out of the amount of crude oil produced there in a year! A lot of money was spent.

Combined with the weapons and ammunition consumed during the battle, each shell was piled up with golden coins and silver coins. Yes, I defeated the enemy, but what did I gain?

Yes, I am from the Ming Dynasty, but I have also shed blood and made contributions to it. What did I get again? Displaced? Drifting overseas? Or is it some other preferential treatment?

When I was scarred and had to go away, Kite was the closest person to me, and the person who felt it the most, and she really felt it for me in her heart.

Is it just for an illusory promise? Yes, men should keep their word, but the living are more important than those who have passed away, aren't they?

Thinking of this, I sighed slightly. I can't tell the kite that I come from the future, I can't look at these things in front of me from a worldly, utilitarian perspective, whether I am compassionate or compassionate, whether I have the world in my heart, I always feel that the immediate interests, advances and retreats, and up and down cannot arouse my interest. I hope that through my own efforts, I can do something for the Ming Dynasty, the Han family, and history.

But I can't say why.

So I gently took the kite's hand and said with a smile, "People always have to pursue something." Some people pursue fame, some people pursue profit, and some people pursue wine and wealth. But that's not what I'm looking for......."

The kite asked me in a faint puzzled tone, "Then what is your pursuit?" Mr? ”

I looked at the waterfowl that were gliding against the surface of the sea not far away, and said softly, "I...... I'm going to write my history! I want history! ”

The kite looked at me fixedly, for a long time, silently, and looked at me fixedly. Her eyes were suddenly full of tenderness, she put down the wine bottle, gently leaned on my shoulder, and said softly: "Men should have men's ambitions, maybe women don't understand." But I support you, and I will be there for you whenever and wherever you are! ”

As he spoke, he tugged my hand vigorously and said in a firm but soft tone: "In the water, in the water; In the fire, in the fire! ”

My heart melted instantly. With the company of someone who loves you like this, what is not satisfied? Not satisfied?

I didn't say anything, just gently hugged her in my arms, and the sun was setting, dragging the two of us to the old man, the old man......

In the evening, on the quiet sea, I carried a wind lantern, a wooden barrel, and a fishing rod with a reel attached to it - to the back deck and sat down, adjusted to a comfortable position, and began to catch fish happily. After chatting with the kite, I went back to the cabin and practiced the martial arts until now.

The reason for ending the training was nothing else, but that I was hungry! Cultivating the Nine Shadows Crystal Fire Technique is a matter that consumes quite physical strength and energy, and after two or three hours, I am already hungry, and my hungry heart is close to my back.

I went to the kitchen and looked around, and I only had some cold snacks and chewed a few bites, which really tasted like wax, and Mavi must have slept by this time - this guy is now my royal chef - but it would be inhumane to call him up to cook for me at this time. After thinking about it, I decided to do it myself and have enough food and clothing.

So I have what I am doing now.

I drank a few sips of rum and didn't seem to be so hungry, so I wasn't in a hurry, just fishing slowly, more of a kind of entertainment!

I drank wine and fished, and before I knew it, more than half an hour had passed. I don't know why, but there seem to be so few fish today. On weekdays, I don't have to catch a big bucket of fishing, but in the same time today, I only caught a few small fry!

Uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it! What's going on?

My stubborn temper is still coming up, and if I don't catch a big fish today, I won't sleep!

I sat at the stern of the boat until midnight, and the kites came to call me several times, and I looked at the half bucket of small fish fry, and I was angry in my heart, and I fell into trouble with this fish!

The kite reluctantly sat down beside me, picked up my rum bottle, and drank it without a sip. I haven't seen a single fry since this guy came! Could it be that this guy is a cat? I smiled bitterly in my heart. But the girl's family accompanies me on the deck in the middle of the night, and I can't drive them away, right?

Just when I was bored and turned my head to look at the kite, I suddenly felt a flower in the corner of my eye, and something seemed to flash on the water! But when I looked back at the water, there was nothing!

Startled by my sudden turn, she put down her bottle, stared at the water and asked, "What's wrong?" Anything strange? ”

I stumped my tongue and said vaguely: "Maybe I'm sleepy, I'm dazzled!" ”

The kite was about to laugh at me, when suddenly, a huge wave rose in front of us! The kite was surprised to use her hand to the waves, and asked in surprise, "First...... What is that, sir? ”

I looked back at the water in amazement, only to see that the huge thing had taken off and plunged back into the water with a "plop", stirring up waves that rushed to the sky!

By the light of the moon, my wolf Gu Shi clearly saw the big guy's erect dorsal fin, and the iron teeth and steel teeth that were straight like steel nails!

No way! It's actually a great white shark the size of a small half boat!
