Chapter 318: Return
Li Shan moored the ship in a natural harbor near the Cape of Good Hope, which is stormy all year round, and it is not easy to find a place to moor.
"Boss, what are we doing here? Is it difficult to find a chance to cross the Cape of Good Hope? I said something that I don't like, this is going to the Cape of Good Hope, it is tantamount to a ghost gate, as long as you encounter a murderous wave, it is a dead end, boss, you don't spare your life, you can't joke with so many of our lives! Zheng Peng was frightened by the previous murderous wave, he had not seen such a fierce wave in these years, and seeing the treasure ship shattered into slag in front of him, he still had palpitations now.
Li Shan looked at the sailors who also had palpitations on their faces, and Yang Miaoling, who didn't speak, but there were already tears rolling in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay." I didn't say we had to go to the Cape of Good Hope, but in the current situation, we really can't afford to take a risk, so let's sail back tomorrow. ”
Yang Miaoling said in surprise: "Really? ”
Li Shan nodded and said, "But I need a group of people who can endure hardships and stand hard work to stay here and help me lay the foundation for future voyages." I decided to recruit a group of people to stay here, and the task was to build a lighthouse on the top of the Cape of Good Hope, and to observe the water in the Cape of Good Hope to find out the pattern of the killing waves. This matter is voluntary, and I promise that I will come to pick you up within two years, and that all those who remain here will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. ”
Li Shan really saw the power of the murderous wave this time, if he couldn't find a way to avoid the murderous wave, if he wanted to cross the Cape of Good Hope, it would be like guessing the coin with the king of Hades. Li Shan firmly believes that there is a solution to everything, and he does not believe that he will not be able to find a solution to the Cape of Good Hope after two years of observation here.
The sailors are also in a dilemma, after all, this place is full of hair and blood. It is indeed very difficult to live here for two years, but a hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and with a hundred taels of silver, you can easily start a family. Two years of hard work for a smooth life is indeed worth it.
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and sure enough, many people signed up to participate. Li Shan carefully selected dozens of smart and clever people to stay here, these people are Li Shan's pioneers who opened up new routes.
In the evening, when everyone in the building was preparing dinner, Li Shan called Charlie and Mark to the deck.
"Charlie, I'm sorry I can't bring you back to your hometown this time." Li Shan bowed to Charlie and Mark.
Charlie said: "Li, you don't have to be sorry, we are not in a hurry, there is always a chance to go back, right?" ”
Li Shan shook his head and said, "This is where I want to say sorry to you two again, I can't let you go back." Thank you for bringing me to the Cape of Good Hope, and the history of the future will record your contributions to the new route. ”
Li Shan's indifferent tone made Charlie realize that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and reluctantly pulled a smile and said, "Don't talk about this, let's hurry up and have dinner." He turned to leave.
But Ah San suddenly appeared in front of the two, and the two-handed sword pierced the chests of the two directly, Charlie's eyes widened, and he pointed at Li Shan and said, "You, why?" ”
Li Shan didn't dare to look at Charlie's eyes, and said to the sea: "I'm sorry, I can't let you bring the matter of the route back to your country, we have suffered too much on this." I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, so I can only be sorry for you. ”
Ah San withdrew his sword, and Charlie and Mark fell directly into the sea, falling into the deep sea, becoming another ghost of the new route.
Li Shan stood quietly for a long time, and said to himself: "Is it right for me to do this?" ”
Ah San stood behind Li Shan, put a fur cloak on Li Shan, and said: "Whether it is a battlefield or a shopping mall, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, although they have all been in the same boat with the young master, but in the final analysis, they are competitors. If the young master doesn't start, then there will definitely be more bloodshed and sacrifices in the future. ”
Li Shan looked at Ah San who stood like steel, although Ah San is also a big cannibal, but after such a long time of getting along, Li Shan has completely regarded him as his own person, Li Shan is very concerned about Ah San's opinion on Li Shan's approach, and said a little sadly: "I can't imagine that one day I will go to the point of unscrupulous means for profit and become a murderer who cares about human life." And the strange thing is that seeing them die in front of me, I can be so calm, calm that I am a little scared myself. Are you worried that one day I'll kill you for profit? ”
Ah San's face did not fluctuate at all: "Although the young master designed to sink the treasure ship this time, Ah San will not be afraid. Ah San's life was originally bought back by the young master, even if it was taken by the young master, it was a matter of course. Moreover, Ah San knew that although the young master usually didn't like to show it, the young master was actually a very affectionate person, and he also took great care of his subordinates, and Ah San was willing to follow the young master to the death. ”
Li Shan couldn't help but be a little happy, although Ah San was just a subordinate, Li Shan never regarded him as a subordinate, and Ah San's words also made Li Shan feel that he was doing the right thing.
Li Shan was in a good mood and said, "Ah San, do you think these things I am doing now are meaningful?" A lot of people don't think it's worth it, and there's no need to risk your life to do it. You tell me? ”
Ah San said: "I don't know much about what the young master does, but I have seen the Silk Road, I heard that it was opened by Zhang Qian during the Han Dynasty, and I have also seen the Great Wall, and I heard that it was built by the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty." Although these people are dead, their deeds are forever left in people's heritage. The world is changing because of them, and I think the young master is doing something like this. ”
Li Shan laughed and said: "That's right, I just want to change the world, so that after a few hundred years, everyone will know what I, Li Shan, have done for this world." Let's go, let's go eat, hungry. ”
Li Shan came to Gadot's room with food, the door was not inserted, Li Shan pushed the door directly in, and saw Gadot sitting quietly at the head of the bed, his eyes seemed to have lost his lustre, and he didn't want to be so arrogant and domineering Princess Gadot before.
Li Shan put the dinner plate on the table and said, "Let's eat, if you don't eat, your body will collapse, you have just soaked in the sea for so long, your body must be very weak." ”
Gadot turned his head to look at Li Shan and said, "Li Shan, why did you save me?" Now that you've decided that you're going to make my treasure ship a substitute for the dead, why don't you kill them all and keep me? ”
Li Shan didn't look at Gadot, and said indifferently: "I just happened to meet you, so saving you is just a gesture." Now that the treasure ship has sunk, you are no longer a threat to me, and I don't need to die without help. ”
Gadot said: "You lie, what happened to the life jacket and lifebuoy you gave me before?" Moreover, if you save me, you won't send me back to the Great Food Country, you can only keep me imprisoned, isn't it a hundred things for you to kill me? Why bother? ”
Li Shan was silent, yes, just like dealing with Charlie and Mark, a knife goes down, a hundred, isn't it happy?
A few days ago, when Ah San was secretly making life jackets and lifebuoys, he asked Li Shan how many sets he wanted to make. Li Shan thought for a moment and said, "Three sets, one more set for backup." ”
Gadot got up and grabbed Li Shan's hand and said, "Li Shan, do you like me?" You must like me, or you wouldn't have to save me, would you? ”
Li Shan looked at Gadot holding his hand, and suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, do you like her? Perhaps, Li Shan touched his calm heartbeat, gently broke away from Gadot's hand and said, "Don't think about it, I won't hurt you, come back to Dali with me first." (To be continued.) )
