When the little one saw me, he was like a frightened little rabbit, huddled in a corner and shivering.

I stepped forward and gently touched his head. The child cowered back in fright, and said something in Spanish quickly and timidly.

Listen carefully, and what he said was, "Don't hit me!" Don't hit me! I'm obedient! ”

My heart was slightly sour, and I gently pressed his shoulder, and smiled as gently as I could, "I'm your father's friend, remember?" Oriental, Sun. ”

The little guy didn't seem so scared, raised his head and looked at me seriously, and suddenly cried out with a "wow" and threw himself into my arms.

He cried very sadly, but I felt a lot more at ease. The green energy traveled around his limbs a few times, and found no internal or external injuries.

"It's hard to coax a child, and I don't have that time." Little Alfred, who was standing behind him, said helplessly: "So it's better to scare him than anything else."

When Jimmy heard Alfred's voice, he looked at him in horror and hurriedly slipped into my arms. Everyone around laughed, after all, he was a child.

After more than ten days, we landed in the beautiful city of Manila again.

I'll never forget the look on his hand when he saw his only son, kneeling on his knees, hugging his son tightly, swearing that he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Qilan, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you. I'm sorry for you, and you're still helping you like this, I'm ......" Pence Jr. hugged his son and stood opposite me excitedly.

I smiled slightly and waved my hand casually: "Friends, don't talk about this."

Xiao Pence gritted his teeth vigorously and nodded: "With me in Nanyang for a day, I will ensure that the sea is stable for a day!" I swear by the hair of the Necklaceer! ”

I didn't pick it up again. It's good to keep some things in your heart, and you don't need to say it so thoroughly.

"One more thing." I pointed to little Alfred, who was being "protected" by a few special operators, and whispered, "I think you know what I mean, right?"

Little Burns stared at little Alfred fixedly for a few moments, then looked back at me and said, "Are you leaving a way back for yourself?"

I nodded: "Yes, I accepted your reminder and decided to give myself an extra way back."

Little Pence looked at Little Alfred again, and said very calmly: "Although emotionally speaking, I would prefer to see you come back with his head, but in today's situation, you and I are like sailing against the current, it is safer to keep one more hand, I agree with your approach."

Reaching an agreement on this issue has made me feel a lot more at ease. Originally, I believed that with the wisdom of Burns Jr., he would definitely approve of my approach.

It's a drunken night, and the guests and hosts are happy.

I also let go of the resentment that had accumulated in my heart for a long time, and welcomed a new beginning with a hearty drink.

During the two days in Manila, Pence Jr. greeted us as best he could, but I also learned from him and Alfred Jr. that the Spaniards were not telling us about attacking North America, and that the British and Dutch were quite ambiguous in dealing with the matter.

Britain seems to have reached a certain degree of tacit agreement with Spain, and although the two sides were still fighting each other, they showed surprising harmony in their confronting of the Dutch.

For example, Britain and the Netherlands had a mutual assistance agreement, but because the Dutch's sea power was developing too quickly, it had caused deep panic among the Spaniards and made Britain quite jealous as an ally.

Originally, Britain supported the Netherlands to compete with Spain, but after decades of fighting, Spain gradually declined, and the Netherlands suddenly rose!

The original follower brother suddenly became a giant that he couldn't control if he wasn't careful, and this kind of taste was uncomfortable in anyone's heart.

Therefore, while maintaining the mutual aid agreement, Britain and the Netherlands already have some sense of separation and sharing different dreams.

During the Spanish attack on North America, the British occupation zone, represented by Virginia, received only a few attacks, but the Dutch occupation zone, led by New York, was fiercely attacked.

The Netherlands is said to have also asked Britain for help, and Elizabeth I vowed to save the attack and defense, but when the actual troops were sent, they were delayed, and even if they sent troops, they were just a small fleet of several ships going out, and it had no practical effect at all.

My territory is tied to the Dutch, and the Dutch and the Spaniards are fighting, and I believe that Mavi will join forces with the Dutch.

I don't know where the nine ghosts who took the northern line have gone. According to the time calculation, he should probably be near Quebec, if all goes well.

On the third day, I really couldn't stay at ease any longer. I don't know why, but I slowly began to develop an obsessive feeling for that place in New York.

I don't want to give up there, my heart tells itself.

Especially after leaving Daming completely, I kept asking myself, where is my home?

Go back to Dongying? No, this is not the place where Uncle Suzuki and I have lived for more than twenty years, but it is a chaotic time in which I don't feel familiar and warm.

Rooted in the South Seas? Being a bully seems like a good choice, but I don't like the customs. Nanyang people are stingy, and the place is cramped and stuffy, which I don't like.

Forget about Africa, the black brothers are not much different from monkeys, and the climate is bad, I don't want to stay there.

I've never thought about the Indian Ocean, it's okay to visit my friend Woodin from time to time, and I really can't stand it if I live in a place full of ghee and curry.

Europe is actually a good choice, but it faces a problem of choice.

In today's ambiguous relationship between friend and foe, where is the most stable place for me to settle?

Where can I pat my chest and promise that this is where I will be for the rest of my life?

This time I went back, I was going to buy some properties in several places, but none of them were my home.

Only the new land, this magical, wild, free land, I can use my own hands and enthusiasm to build a home!

There are no rules, no constraints, I can do what I want to do and make it my ideal home.

There is no dumping, no tossing, only the winner is king. I like this law of the jungle, at least it's simple and straightforward.

So I set sail again. Bidding farewell to Little Burns, my fleet left Manila and headed straight for Malacca as fast as possible.

Because Uncle Ye's health is really poor, it is difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of commanding Nanyang, under his hint, I let no regrets stay and run Nanyang for Uncle Ye.

No regret is 10,000 unwilling. But seeing his father's health weakening day by day, he was also saddened that he had not been able to stay with his father to fulfill his filial piety.

So he didn't want to stay, I promised him in private, let him be at ease and filial piety, and when Uncle Ye wants to go out for a walk one day, I will definitely arrange someone to replace him, so that he can take his father around the world!

I didn't regret it, so I agreed to stay, but at the same time, I found an unexpected happy event - after I decided to stay without regrets, Qinglian and Yuhe also took the initiative to apply to stay.

After I took a closer look, the two girls were embarrassed to tell the truth.

In recent years, they have been following the boat without regrets, not only taking care of the life of no regrets, but also helping with trade planning, and cooperating like a fish in water.

After coming and going, they fell in love over time, and they looked at each other like this.

If it weren't for the urgency of the new big * land this time, I'm afraid that a happy event has already been done now.

I was overjoyed to hear that. These two girls have followed me since the beginning of the implementation of a whip law in Shandong, and their ability, character, and appearance are all the best choices.

Although he was committed to others for his livelihood at the beginning, how bold the children of the rivers and lakes are, as long as it is true love, it is not a big deal.

The only problem comes from within - back then, Ye Gong and his uncle-in-law Yan Lei's father used to get married, and if they were born with a son and a daughter, they would become husband and wife; If there are two boys, they become brothers, and two girls are sisters.

As a result, they were born as a pair of brothers, that is, Uncle Ye and Uncle Yan Lei, so they became brothers, and as a result, the two married the godsisters respectively, and they became close to each other.

Later, before the death of the old man of the Yan family, he pushed the fingertips for marriage to the next generation according to the agreement, but added another "I" - Sun San.

Now that I am married, I am left with no regrets and Yanzhu as suitable, so in this one, several old people are unwilling to let go.

Of course, they are not opposed to not regretting being with Qinglian and Yuhe. When Nanyang was initially established, the two girls made great efforts and had a close relationship with the Yan family and the Ye family. If they were to leave sadly, the two families would never want to.

In the end, the families decided to let Wu Fei also refer to my model, and marry Yanzhu, Qinglian, and Yuhe regardless of size, which can be regarded as a complete and eclectic merit......

I'm okay with that, but what does it mean to follow my pattern? I'm just following the crowd, I don't have to be so far-sighted, right?

Because my days are tight, this marriage is also simple, I decided to do it on the same day, and the next day was considered an auspicious day, and the happy event was done immediately.

In the marriage, Uncle Ye invited the dagger from me that Gong Ye gave me back then, which can be regarded as the testimony of the elders to this marriage.

It stands to reason that this frost is a parting thing, but now it has witnessed the joy of all, and it can be regarded as our own practical efforts to break the resentment and sorrow.

My brother got married, and I really didn't know what to give him. Because we have always been inseparable from each other before, we have always been brothers and do not settle accounts, and now the gift really stumped me.

In the end, I thought about it, Qinglian and Yuhe have no father and mother, so they can't talk about Ming Media marrying. So I accepted the two of them as sisters-in-law, and asked them to rummage through the cabinets by themselves, and found out the documents that they redeemed from Shandong Mansion many years ago, which proved their innocent origins and gave them a proper identity.

Qinglian and Yuhe bowed down excitedly, and I naturally received their gifts. From now on, they will be both my sister-in-law and my brother and sister-in-law, although it is a little strange, but it can only be like this.

The two of them insisted on calling me brother, and I didn't refuse, which is also the best way!

The second day was lively and lively, the third day the husband and wife had a round room, and the fourth day did not regret returning to the door with the daughter-in-law.

Now that we've done what we need to do, we're ready to hit the road again.

I don't regret leading the fleet to send us, one to thirty nautical miles. After sending thirty nautical miles, they were reluctant to leave, and sent another thirty nautical miles, one to two times, and sent out a hundred nautical miles, and those who saw it arrived in Azhen.

So I persuaded again and again, sending you thousands of miles, and finally had to say goodbye. I'm just going to do something, and it's not goodbye, and I don't regret it.

So the two families shed tears and said goodbye, and they went back to Malacca, while I headed straight for the Indian Ocean, in the direction of Africa.
