At this time, Ren Siqi was standing at the bow of the "Shark" two miles away, looking at the "Fuchun" in front of him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Except for the crew on duty, the rest of the crew went back to sleep in the cabin.

"Childe. Why don't you sleep? Anthony walked to the bow of the ship and asked Ren Siqi politely.

On this boat, Anthony is the most respectful person to Ren Siqi, he never screams like Xiong Er, Chen Sheng and others, and always respectfully calls Ren Siqi "Son". The environment he has always been in has cultivated his cautious character.

"I can't sleep, by the way, Anthony, why did you come up with such a foreigner's name?" Ren Siqi asked curiously.

"Because our family has been on Java Island since the end of the Yuan Dynasty and has been rooted there for hundreds of years, the name is somewhat different from that of the Ming Dynasty." Anthony explained, "If Childe doesn't like it, come up with a name for me." ”

"The name was chosen by your father, so you don't need to change it, and Anthony is fine." Ren Siqi shook his head and said.

The two chatted casually at the bow, and Anthony told Ren Siqi a lot about their family's previous time on Java.

"What sound?" Ren Siqi suddenly interrupted Anthony's words, and listened carefully, and heard a faint cry for help on the sea.

"I want someone there." Anthony shouted, pointing to the sea ahead.

Ren Siqi looked carefully, and saw that there was indeed a black shadow on the sea in front of him. I hurriedly picked up the monoculars and put them in front of my eyes, and sure enough, I saw a person floating and sinking on the sea from the telescope. If there are many good things left by the Dutch on the "Shark", this telescope is one of them.

"Quick, put down the boat and save people." Ren Siqi commanded.

Anthony agreed, and ran to call the crew on duty, and the boat was lowered from the deck to the surface, and the four crew members rowed the boat to the figure.

After the person was rescued, Ren Siqi was surprised to find that the person in the sea turned out to be Sima Nan.

"Get dry clothes. Brother Sima came to the cabin. Ren Siqi didn't ask much, and hurriedly ordered.

Although the weather in April was already very warm, the temperature of the sea was much lower than that on the ship, and Sima Nan had not been long since the "Fuchun" jumped off the ship, less than half an hour, but his lips were blue and his whole body was shivering.

Wrapped in a piece of clothing and drank a few sips of spirits, a heat rose from his abdomen and spread to his whole body, and Sima Nan felt much better.

"Thank you, Brother Xiucai, for saving me." Sima Nan hugged his fists and thanked him.

"Brother Sima, how did you do this?" Ren Siqi had already guessed that the "Fuchun" had undergone drastic changes, and it seemed that Sima Nan had failed.

"Alas, it's hard to put into words." Sima Nan took another sip of wine, stabilized his mood, and told everything that happened on the "Fuchun".

"Brother Xiucai, I have nowhere to go now, I wonder if you can take my brother in?" Sima Nanxi looked at Ren Siqi with a wide range of eyes.

Whether to take him in or not, Ren Siqi was conflicted in his heart, this Sima Nan is an ambitious person, and his character is not good. But at the moment, the "Shark" is really short of people, and now there are too few people on board, fifteen Luzon Han Chinese, Anthony and Javanese Tony, plus the three Dutchmen who surrendered, and even Ren Siqi himself counted only 21 people, and now even the sail raising and lowering manpower is not very enough.

Now the "Shark" can barely run normally under the command of the Dutchman Olier who surrendered, Ren Siqi's own navigation skills are half-baked level, and the talent is really lacking, and Sima Nan has been the captain of the Fuchun for many years and has incomparably rich sailing experience, with his joining, the strength of the "Shark" will be much enhanced. Talent is the most important thing now, and as for character, you can't care about it for the time being.

"What Brother Sima said, it's my honor that you are willing to come to my small temple." Ren Siqi smiled and said, "From now on, the fire captain of this shark is yours." ”

"Thank you, Brother Xiucai!" Sima Nan was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't expect Ren Siqi to trust him so much, and without hesitation, he handed over such an important position as the fire chief to him.

"But the name of this shark is not very good, it is too domineering." Ren Siqi pondered, "How about we change our name, let's call it 'Flying Fish'." ”

"The 'Flying Fish' sounds good, and it feels like a flying dragon is in the sky." Sima Nan agreed.

"Our brothers work together, and one day we will leap into the dragon gate and one day become a dragon." Ren Siqi stretched out his hand.

"I will definitely not disappoint the Xiucai brothers." Sima Nan held Ren Siqi's hand tightly and said excitedly.

Whether you are true or false, under my hands, you don't want to go to the sky like you did on the "Shark". Ren Siqi held Sima Nan's hand and said secretly.

This Xiucai is not an easy person to deal with, you have to be careful when doing things under him in the future, Sima Nan thought to himself.

The two let go of their hands and smiled at each other.

At dawn, the "Fuchun" put down the boat, and Mao Shibai personally came to the "Flying Fish" and told Ren Siqi what happened in the "Fuchun" last night.

Seeing Sima Nan on the "Flying Fish", Mao Shibai breathed a sigh of relief, and his years of friendship made him unwilling to let Sima Nan really die.

"Master Fu asked me to tell Brother Xiucai that what he promised you before counts, and this ship will be yours in the future, and as for the silver promised to you, I will send you a lot of money." Mao 18 said to Ren Siqi.

"Last night, the brothers on the ship found Brother Sima floating on the sea, and I only then knew what happened to the Fuchun." Ren Siqi said, he didn't want Mao Eighteen to misunderstand that he was also involved.

"Brother Xiucai, I believe in your character." Mao Shibai interrupted Ren Siqi's words: "Xiucai, you are a capable person, you will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future, I just hope that when you succeed in the future, you will remember these brothers." ”

Ren Siqi knew that Mao Shibai had a deep misunderstanding of himself, but he couldn't explain it, after all, he couldn't explain the matter of the "Flying Fish" under him.

Since you can't explain clearly, you don't have to explain, so let's use actions to speak in the future.

"Eighteen brothers, don't worry, you will always be my eldest brother, and the brothers on the Fuchun will always be my brothers. Ren Siqi's words were sonorous and powerful.

Mao 18 nodded, sighed, and turned around to get off the boat.

"Eighteen!" Seeing that Mao Eighteen refused to say a word to himself from beginning to end, Sima Nan shouted sadly.

"Brother Sima, do it yourself, do things well here in Brother Xiucai, and don't have such and such thoughts in the future." Mao 18 didn't look back, just said lightly. Sima Nan knew that his friendship with Mao 18 had come to an end.

This is a very pure person, this is a person who has a clear distinction between right and wrong, in front of Mao Eighteen, Ren Siqi suddenly felt a little small.
