The slanting sun shone on a bay of sand, and several tired figures got off the boat.

"Little brother, sir, you have come ashore."

"This brother, it's time to get off the boat."

The old man and the lean young man greeted each other again and again, and the young man with short hair and strange clothes was as stunned and deaf as the strange man.

The girl tied the cable to the stake on the beach, glanced at Zhao Zheng, and wrinkled her nose: "There is another weirdo." ”

The old man shook his head and said to the lean young man and the palace maid: "Let's go, go to the house to rest first, let the gentleman and the monk be quiet, and then come and call them later." ”

The four of them carried all kinds of salvaged items and slowly walked away, leaving a few rows of messy footprints on the beach.

The twilight is heavy, and it can't compare to Zhao Lie's depression at the moment.

Is there anything more terrible in this world than death? Yes, that is, as soon as he crossed over, he became a slave of the country.

Yes, if you travel to other dynasties, even if it is the end of the dynasty, it is just a change of dynasty, and you can happily be a citizen of a new dynasty. can travel to the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is a real slave and a fourth-class person.

Five Hu Chaohua, the turn of the Song and Yuan dynasties, the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the three major calamities of the Han people! What did you do to anger and resent, why did you send yourself here? I'm obviously a martyr, okay!

The death of slaves is still a matter of the future, but the killing is imminent. The bloody scene just now stimulated him too much, and until now his mind was full of desperate cliff jumpers, dense floating corpses, skyrocketing fires, terrible cries, and the lingering smell of blood on the end of his nose......

"Little Shami, Ma underestimated you, I didn't expect people outside the square to be so worried about the country. Dare to ask if the law number is ......"

The chaotic thoughts were interrupted, and Zhao Lie looked back and saw that the strange man had a sincere face towards him. Zhao Lie touched his head, and it seemed that his name as a monk was confirmed. It's okay, otherwise I really can't explain it.

Zhao Lie also learned from the other party's appearance and arched his hand: "I am still vulgar, and the common name is Zhao Lie." ”

"In Xia Xiangshan Ma Nanchun, the word Zhongping, and now under the command of Zhang Shufu, he is the deputy capital of Chengzhi." The strange man pushed his wet and messy hair over his shoulders and straightened his black beard under his jaw, revealing his true face. is also heavy eyebrows, with a straight nose and a wide mouth, and a dignified appearance.

Seeing that Zhao Lie's expression remained unchanged, Ma Nanchun was not surprised, it was not surprising that the mountain and wild contemptible husband did not know the name of the cardinal mansion and his own official position.

After some adjustment, Ma Nanchun's mentality has calmed down, he took a deep breath, turned his head to look north, and said word by word: "The country is broken, my Xiangshan Ma family is still there, and I will fight with the thief to the end!" Turning his face to stare at Zhao Hunt, "My brother Ma Nanbao once offered food to Duanzong Nan Hunt and authorized the Ministry of Industry to serve as a waiter. Last month, my brother sent a letter, saying that he had recruited 500 troops in Xiangzi and wanted to go to Gushan to help in the war, but unfortunately he contracted the wind and cold before setting off and could not make the trip...... God did not let the thief accept this life, and he did not live up to the will of heaven, hugged this remnant body, returned to Sangzi, and fought again. Brother Zhao, I think you are also a strong man, and you are more worried about the country, why don't you follow a certain line, unite the heroes of the Quartet, and work together for righteous deeds. ”

If Zhao Lie didn't understand the trend of history in the end, he might also be aroused by Ma Nanchun's impassioned words at this moment. However, he really knew that in 1279, after the mountains, there would be no more China. This is the end of history, and there is no way to return manpower. But what should I do if I want him to be a low-race person, no matter what?

The more Zhao Lie thought about it, the more he had a headache, and rubbed his temples fiercely and said, "Let me think about it first...... By the way, does Brother Ma know, how did this naval battle come to be? Song Jun...... Our army is no less than the Yuan army. ”

Ma Nanchun smiled bitterly: "Ma is the guest of Zhang Shu's Mansion, and he is the deputy capital of the government, how can he not know?" ”

This is the second time that Ma Nanchun has mentioned "Zhang Shufu", and Zhao Lie asked curiously: "Who is Zhang Shufu?" ”

Manan Chun folded his sleeves and arched to the east: "Taifu, Yue Guogong, Privy Deputy Envoy, Zhang Gong Shijie." ”

Zhao Lie's eyes widened, Zhang Shijie, but anyone who knows the "Battle of Yashan" must know this person, because the commander of this battle is this duke.

Ma Nanchun was probably also very depressed, and he was depressed after the fiasco, and he also had the urge to talk, so it was rare to have a good listener, so he first roughly talked about the situation of the Song and Yuan sides before the naval battle. When it comes to Zhang Shijie's determination to fight to the death with the enemy, he burns the grass market, knots a chain of boats, makes a word Chen, in the middle of the sea, in the middle of the boat, runs through the big rope, and the surrounding buildings are like city walls, and the Song Dynasty lord lives in the middle of it as a death plan.

“…… Zhang Shufu connected more than 1,000 large ships into a water village, and tens of thousands of our soldiers only blindly defended and could not take the offensive, although they were put to death, they could not survive. The Yuan thieves occupied Haikou and blocked all the ways for our army to collect firewood and draw water. Our army is short of food and water, and it is thirsty to drink seawater......"

Zhao Lie shook his head again and again. Drinking seawater will only make you thirstier and weaker the more you drink, causing various diseases. Before this battle was fought, the Song army had already lost half of it. couldn't help but say: "I've always heard of this battle of Chibi, right?" Serial ships are most afraid of fire attacks, Zhang Shi...... How did Zhang Gong form such a formation? ”

Ma Nanchun glanced at Zhao Lie in surprise: "Is it the Chibi War of Cao Sun Liu during the Three Kingdoms?" Brother Zhao actually knew about this battle? How could Zhang Gong not know. The Tartars also sent fireboats to attack, but they were blocked outside the wall, and the boats were coated with wet plaster, and the rockets were not damaged, but they were sunk and injured by our army......"

Zhao Lie sneered, he was talking on paper, and he really couldn't underestimate the ancients.

"Brother Ma didn't mention anything constructive...... Uh, that's a good idea? ”

"Why didn't you mention it?" Ma Nanchun struck the side angrily, and sighed again, "Before the Tartars arrived, Ma proposed to Zhang Shufu, 'If the northern soldiers use the boat division to plug the sea, then I can't advance or retreat, so I will take it first!'" Fortunately, the victory is also the blessing of the country; If you don't win, you can go west'. It's a pity that Zhang Shufu is afraid that he will be in the sea for a long time, and the soldiers will be centrifuged, and they will disperse if they move. Nai said: 'When will it be a long time to sail? Now we have to decide the winner', so there is this ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Lie patted his thigh: "It turns out that you are the one who made this suggestion!" ”

Ma Nanchun's suggestion has been recorded in the historical record, but the history only has words of advice and no record of the person who offered advice, but I didn't expect that this person with a lot of tactical vision was actually in front of him.

Ma Nanchun was inexplicable, and said in confusion: "What does Brother Zhao mean by this?" ”

Zhao Lie sighed, and was not knowing how to explain, when he suddenly seemed to realize something, grabbed the oars suddenly, and shouted at a certain place on the beach: "Who is hiding there?" Come out! ”

At this time, the sky was dark, the starlight was faint, and a small figure slowly poked out from behind the reef, and said timidly: "Grandpa...... Grandpa asked me to ask the great monk to go back to the house with Mr. to eat. ”

It turned out to be the grandson of the old man of the boat, Zhao Lie hurriedly put down the oars and beckoned the other party to approach. By the faint starlight, it was vaguely seen that it was a black and thin boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in fat clothes that obviously did not fit, with sleeves and trouser legs, thin arms and legs, and was about the same height as an ordinary eleven or twelve-year-old boy.

Zhao Lie touched his own board and affirmed again: "I am not a great monk. Well, it used to be, but now it's vulgar, just call me Brother Zhao. What's your name? ”

"Ding, Ding."

"Come here, come closer." Zhao Lie pulled the boy over and patted his thin shoulder, "Why don't you just come over and hide?" ”

Ding Xiaoqi peeked at Ma Nanchun and swallowed: "Sister said, there is a ...... There's a ......."

Zhao Lie glanced at Ma Nanchun and smiled: "There's a weird person, right?" ”

Ding Xiaoqi didn't dare to answer, and Ma Nanchun shook his head with a wry smile.

It turned out that the girl was Ding Xiaoyi's sister, Zhao Lie remembered something, and asked casually: "Did your grandfather say how he found me?" ”

Ding Xiaoqi scratched his head: "Grandpa didn't say it, but Grandpa did." ”

Zhao Lie's expression froze: "What did your sister say?" ”

"My sister said that she was so startled when she saw you suddenly come out of the sea that she almost hit you with an oar. Later, I saw you floating on the surface of the sea, moving from time to time, and then I salvaged you onto the boat. ”

"Nautical?" Zhao Lie touched his chin, puzzled, how could he come out of the sea? Could it be that there is a space-time portal in the deep sea? Hepu is also on the beach, but it's too far away...... Thinking about it for a long time, my brain hurts, and I just don't want to think about it anymore - God has let you live again, what do you want?

Ding Xiaoqi is a little afraid of life, but once he gets acquainted, he is very lively, he must answer questions, and his mouth is not open. From his mouth, he learned that this is a nameless island, and there are few inhabitants on the island, but only three families. They originally lived in Tangbian Mountain, opposite the mountain, and they all made a living from fishing. Last year, a large number of Song troops appeared in the mountain, and Tanghuanshan was also included in the warning range, and the island's residents and ships were either requisitioned or fled when they heard the news. The Ding family is old and small, the boat is old and the net is broken, and the Song army can't look down on it, so it can be regarded as escaping.

The remaining families moved to a deserted island a few nautical miles away, which lacked water and was so small that it was often flooded by waves during the storm season. The fishermen are very simple-minded, so many soldiers will not stay at sea all the time, and one day they will be withdrawn, and then they will go home.

At the beginning of the year, the Meng and Yuan surrounded the Song army, and in February, the Song and Yuan armies were in a big battle, and the fishermen did not dare to go to sea at all, so they could only catch some small crabs, shrimps, and boil wild vegetables near the island to survive. It wasn't until the war heated up, with thousands of ships burned and corpses floating for dozens of miles on the sea, that the hungry fishermen had the courage to row out to sea to pick up leaks.

Ding Laohan is also one of them, and the slight difference is that he searches for survivors while collecting supplies.

"Grandpa said that the great monk of Yongfu Temple said in the past that saving people's lives is better than building seven temples."

Zhao Lie laughed: "That's right, the seven great temples are stronger than Futu." Your grandfather and sister saved four people and built 28 temples. We have to thank him very much. ”

As he spoke, a firelight appeared in front of him, and he slowly approached, and a familiar voice came: "Uncle Ding is still a little worried, but when he hears the laughter of the great monk, he can rest assured." ”

Under the hunting torch, the lean young man raised his hand to greet the two: "My name is Shi Yang, the Tiger Wing Army is effective, what do you call the two?" ”

"Zhao Lie."

"The deputy capital of the Privy Council is under the order of Ma Nanchun."

Shi Yang was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The little one has seen Shangguan." ”

The utility is that the semi-professional soldiers of the Song Army, many of them are brave, they volunteer to enlist in the army, do not tattoo words, and receive pay to fight, similar to the volunteers of later generations, and have combat power than ordinary soldiers. But no matter how big it is, he is a big soldier, and when he sees a high-ranking official like Vice Du Chengzhi, he can only kowtow.

Shi Yang only bowed and did not kneel, probably because Ma Nanchun, the deputy capital, had already dropped in price. Ma Nanchun didn't think it was strange, the reason why he reported his official rank was the same as the previous one for Zhao Hunt, which was to collect available people. The utility is considered to be an elite soldier, although Shi Yang does not look as strong as Zhao Lie, but there are many southern soldiers, or they are good at climbing or accustomed to water, but they don't necessarily have to be brave in foot combat.

Shi Yang and Ding Xiaoqi led the way in front, Zhao Lie and Ma Nanchun stepped on the high and low gravel road, walked for about a stick of incense, and went down a slope, with the lights looming in front of them.

Ding Xiaoqi showed a happy smile on his dark face and pointed to the light: "That's my house." ”

Ding Household has a typical fisherman's hut style, the foundation is made of quarried reef and mud, and a deep groove is reserved in the middle of the stone, rammed with wooden planks of different lengths and unstripped bark, and enclosed into two huts. The roof is pressed with thick layers of bamboo rice, and stones are pressed on top, mostly to protect it from the sea breeze.

In front of the fisherman's hut, a bonfire had been lit at this time, and Ding Laohan was looking down to pick something by the fire, and he looked up when he heard the movement.

Ding Xiaoqi said loudly: "Grandpa, I brought Brother Zhao and Mr. Ma." ”

"Okay, it's good to be here. On this island, when it's cold and windy at night, let's come and bake the fire. ”

Zhao Lie and Ma Nanchun approached, and bowed to Ding Laohan at the same time: "Thank you for saving your life." ”

Ding Laohan shook his head and waved his hand again, his face was panicked: "It is the duty of the fisherman to save the drowning, and he deserves such a great gift from the two of them." ”

The two thanked them repeatedly. Zhao Lie remembered the girl who found and rescued him on the boat, so he asked, "Uncle, what about the granddaughter?" I want to thank her in person. ”

Ding Laohan pointed to the north: "I'm drying clothes with the palace maid named Shu'er." ”

Drying clothes on a big night? Really. Ding Laohan's ancestors and grandchildren went to sea to salvage floating objects, and the most common thing was all kinds of clothes and fabrics. Poor people can't tear a few pieces of cloth all year round, and suddenly get so many clothes, they don't care about any taboos. Washing and drying, in addition to wearing at home, can also be used or sold, but it is a lot of wealth.

Shi Yang raised his torch with a courteous expression: "I'll help them." ”

Just a few steps away, two girls came from the darkness, each carrying a large wooden basin, wiping sweat as they walked, obviously a lot of work. Seeing Zhao and Ma coming, he nodded in greeting. The little palace maid Shu'er looked shy, while the fisherman girl was generous.

The people were gathered together, and they sat around the fire. I saw the fisherman girl take a wooden hook from Ding Laohan's hand, pull it into the fire a few times, and roll out seven or eight round balls of hard mud.

Zhao Lie, who was already hungry, stared at the mud balls, thinking that it would not be a Huazi**, it must taste good.

Bang Bang Bang!

The girl's hand hooked and knocked the mud balls open one by one, revealing the moist and wrapped palm leaves inside, which looked like brown seeds. The girl pads her hands with palm leaves and presents the hot "brown seeds" to everyone one by one. After Zhao Lie thanked him, he peeled it off and saw that it was not a brown seed, but a package of rice. I grabbed a piece with my hand and put it in my mouth and chewed it, in addition to seaweed, there were also dried shrimp, small fish and crab meat. The crab meat is stained with a crispy crushed shell, and it is crunchy when bitten, with a natural fishy saltiness. Although it was not a good taste, everyone was obviously hungry and ate with relish.

Ding Laohan rubbed his hands, very uneasy: "A few days ago, I fished a bag of grain, but there were no pickles, no meat, and I couldn't go to sea." You can only catch some small shrimp, fish and crabs nearby and eat rice, and the guests are not surprised. ”

In the face of this simple old man, the four rescued people didn't know what to say, only to put down the rice package and bow deeply, which provoked Ding Laohan to bow in a panic, you come and I will go back and forth for a while.

Zhao Lie saw Ding Xiaoqi staring intently at the police rank Yinhua on his shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Do you like it?" ”

Ding Xiaoqi nodded, and touched the police uniform curiously: "Brother Zhao's clothes are so strange, why do they have silver buttons on their sleeves and silver flowers on their shoulders." ”

Zhao Lie's police uniform fell off several buttons in the previous fierce fight, and his clothes were torn, thinking that since he came to ancient times, this police uniform was obviously out of place, so it was better to follow the local customs.

Clothing is equivalent to property in this era, and there are few decent stocks in the homes of ordinary people, and Ding Laohan's family is no exception. However, in the past few days, the most floating objects on the sea have been salvaged, and the most is clothing. At present, the most important thing that the Ding family lacks is probably clothes, and the most is the clothes of the soldiers of the Song Army.

Zhao Lie put on a military uniform that Shi Yang said was a small colonel, which also fit, and a pair of boots, made of cloth, although it didn't fit very well, but it was soft.

After changing his clothes, Zhao Lie folded the torn police uniform seriously and wrapped it in a cloth bag with leather shoes. Seeing Ding Xiaoqi staring at the four corners of the silver flower very curiously, Zhao Lie thought about picking up a silver flower and handed it to him: "Here, leave a souvenir." ”

Ding Xiaoqi's eyes lit up, but he didn't stretch out his hand, but shook his head. Ding Laohan's eager voice sounded behind him: "Absolutely not, saving people is the duty of fishermen, but I don't dare to collect silver." ”

Zhao Lie was speechless for a while. This silver flower is silver, but it is aluminum!

Ding Laohan pushed back again and again, but he couldn't let go of his hand to weigh or take a bite to check the color, so he had to do it.

Although he didn't ask for silver flowers, Ding Xiaoqi was obviously moved by the generosity and boldness of this Brother Zhao, and quietly took out a thing wrapped in oilcloth from his arms, and said mysteriously: "Brother Zhao, I have a strange thing here, I picked it up on the back hillside in the afternoon, do you want to take a look......"

Sonor! There was a blow to the back of the head, and my sister's voice came: "Take less of your broken things and offer treasures, go and get some more grains, rice, crabs and shrimps, don't you see that the guests are not full?" ”

Ding Xiaoqi touched his head, and muttered as he walked: "It's a pretty iron bump, not a broken toy......"

In the South China Sea at the beginning of February, the temperature is quite high during the day, but it is still quite chilly at night. Ding Laohan resolutely rejected the proposal of the guests to sit around the fire and sleepy, and asked his granddaughter to clean up an empty house and let Zhao Lie, Ma Nanchun, and Shi Yang move in. Of course, there are no beds, only floors.

This night, Shi Yang snored like thunder, Ma Nanchun tossed and turned, and Zhao Lie lay on his back and looked at the sky - a hole in the roof was broken, just in time to see the deep night sky.

All kinds of thoughts, stepping on one after another, stirred up the head dizzy. What happened on this day was the most tortuous and bizarre in his twenty-one years of life. Dead, alive, and coming to a most dangerous and dark time. In the face of the giant beast Meng Yuan, in the face of a civilization that is about to fall, what can he do empty-handed? Maybe nothing can be done, maybe the most important thing to do tomorrow is to go out to sea in a floating boat, as far as you can escape.

Well, God is not useless, at least throw yourself to the southernmost island, I'm afraid this is the most likely place to escape Meng Yuan's poison at the moment. Tomorrow, I must try my best to persuade Ding Laohan's grandson to go with me. Whether it is to go to the South Seas or to find a new continent, it is better than being a slave, and it can be regarded as repaying their kindness.

Searching for the New World seems to be a good look. Punch Pizarro, kick Columbus, dominate the Caribbean, and the skull flag flies......

Zhao Hunt's thoughts flew in a daze, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
