The storm comes as fast as it goes.

Soon, everything was calm------ had it not been for the fact that the stern sail had been blown and fell there as if nothing had happened.

The old captain calmly said to the boatswain: "Raise the sails again------"

"Raise the sails again, raise the sails again!"

The boatswain gave a quick order, and as he passed Wallace, he glanced at him, and said, "You boy is doing well------ always obey orders." ”

Wallace felt his arm ache at this moment, and the experience just now was like a dream.

The direction in which the storm left was foggy------ old captain sighed, not knowing who it would harm again.

The sailors were reactivated, and the smoke of the pot and camel machine rose from the ship.

With a boom, the huge sail was raised, and soon the wind was blowing, and it was heading southwest.

The long, bow mast of the bow pointed forward like a sharp sword, undaunted.

It's just getting started.

The boatswain himself went down to the bilge to inspect the ballast, which consisted of sugar and sea salt in wooden barrels, and it was better not to cause damage due to water leakage.

As a result, there are no problems, and another benefit of wrapping the bottom of the boat with brass skin is that it helps to seal the ship.

The rest of the day was easy, their first stop was to go to the Wenlai estuary area of Borneo, where they were to load some more tin and spices, kerosene and food, and they were expected to stay for two days.

The boatswain, knowing that Wallace had not been to the mouth of the Wenlai River, took him there for an afternoon.

He said mysteriously to Wallace, "Do you know why the old captain rushed to get off the ship?" ”

Wallace shrugged, how could he know.

"The old captain has made another home here, married a concubine in private, and I heard that he also gave birth to another daughter------"

Wallace was noncommittal, and he did not understand that the people of the island were as fond of finding lovers as the nobles of Scotland and England, but that they could bring them home and let them live ------with their wives.

The boatswain said meaningfully, "This is not a good word------

Wallace shook his head and said he didn't comment, he knew in the army that it was someone else's private matter----- he wasn't a person who liked to comment on people behind his back.

The boatswain continued, "God is so unfair, that he gave him two daughters, and I have none, and I am a stinky boy------ so unspeakable!" ”

Wallace shuddered, but still didn't dare to speak.

The Wenlai estuary is somewhat similar to the Badaohe area, but it is much smaller and less populated.

But it is far more developed than the Sidaohe area.

On both sides of the river, there are more two-, three-, and even four-story Liuqiu buildings, which are neatly arranged and stretch far away.

The four-wheeled carriages on the concrete road are very special, all of them have no windows, and they are all four pillars with a canopy.

The rickshaw on the road is also strange, it is actually sitting in the front, and the rickshaw driver is pedaling behind.

The boatswain explained that when riding the bike, the wind blows backwards so that the smell of the rickshaw driver's sweat does not smoke the guests.

The two of them walked around, looking at the shops along the street, most of which were bits and pieces.

When they arrived at a tea shop, after the two went in, they went upstairs directly.

They ordered a pot of green tea and asked for some fruit and desserts------ it was too hot at noon to drink.

The location of this tea shop is good, you can see the scenery of the Wenlai River, and you can also see the prosperity of the commercial street downstairs.

At this time, there were fewer people on the streets of Wenlai Estuary who begged for the island and people from the Great Song Dynasty, and most of them were Tianzhu people.

Those dark-skinned guys seem to be born not afraid of the heat, and the Tianzhu woman is still wrapped in long coarse silk clothes in such a hot weather.

The boatswain laughed and said: "The Great Song and Liuqiu women are not easy to discipline, and when the time comes, I must buy a Tianzhu woman------ you must know that the women in the north of Tianzhu are not so dark." ”

Wallace lowered his head and drank the green tea------ the tea tasted so good, and he remembered that the first time he drank tea, he had a feeling that he was going to get drunk, it was so funny.

The boatswain lit his own cigarette, knowing that Wallace did not smoke.

He said: "Look at the tea shop there are really a lot of guests, waiting for you to come back with your little lady, I will fund you to open a family in Sidaohe------ you are a person, not to mention anything else, it is really true." ”

Wallace shook his head and said, "I want to build a flower garden------"

He knew that the people of Liuqiu Island, like the people of the Great Song Dynasty, were very fond of flowers, and even men were willing to put beautiful flowers in their hats or hair.

Marianne? Bradford is a woman who loves flowers.

At this time, a cool breeze suddenly blew, and this is also a place where it rains.

Wallace saw the indigenous vendors on the Wenlai River rowing boats selling all kinds of fruits and flowers, and they unhurriedly opened their tung oil umbrellas to shelter from the rain.

Dozens of hundreds of small boats gathered together, and suddenly formed a special scenery.

The boatswain laughed, "It's good here, but there will be cool rain after the heat, which is really comforting." I heard that the eastern part of Borneo is also being developed rapidly------ and this island will certainly not be inferior to Liuqiu Island in the future.

Wherever we beg the people of the island, it will become a rich and comfortable place------ in the words of the owner of the island, we are the builders, and the Tatars are robbers, who will only make others poor. ”

It's true, Wallace has understood how Zhang Island Master has made others richer, and he has learned some methods.

Perhaps, it is because of this that he misses his hometown even more.

The boatswain said happily: "While it's raining, tell me more about your Scottish scene------ are the men there really wearing skirts and no panties?" Haha-------"

Wallace was a little embarrassed, it was true to wear a skirt, and it was true to wear no panties, but could this boatswain really understand what the Scots were suffering?!

After the invasion of the Roman Empire, it lacked enough power to unify the entire island of Great Britain.

After several battles with the local tribes in the north, the Roman Empire built a wall that almost cut across the island of Great Britain within its reach: Hadrian's Wall.

When the boatswain heard this, he laughed and said, "We have the Great Wall, too, but it is several times longer than yours!" ”

Wallace ignored his interjection and continued.

The Romans used Hadrian's Wall as a boundary and called their colonial tribes of England "civilized people", while the Scottish tribes that had been unable to conquer were called "barbarians".

After King Edward I of England completed his conquest of Wales in the southern part of Great Britain, he soon turned his ferocious gaze to the Kingdom of Scotland.

King John of Scotland? Barrio was a weak and incompetent man------ and the Scottish people were being bullied by the English, who took the women captive, plundered their property, imposed taxes, -------and killed those who resisted.

When the boatswain heard this, he fell silent and said, "Do they have Tatar robbers?" ”

"Nope."

Wallace replied honestly.

"We were really bitter at the beginning------"
