The vast expanse of the sea, the foam, the seagulls fluttering in the boundless sky, the abundance of fish, and the countless beautiful fairy tales that look like paradise. [Eye-fast reading book new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]
In fact, people who have really been adrift on the sea know that the sea is far from being so beautiful, and can even be called a moody tyrant, just after a day of sailing on the sea, Hou Jie and Li Yuer, who is not afraid of tigers, saw this.
The sky suddenly turned the color of the pot, and the sailors were busy like ants on a hot pot, kicking and shoving the rookies who were still on the deck into the cabin.
"Uncle Li, what's wrong?"
With the fleet is the king of Fujian, Li Rong, seeing that the wind is getting stronger and stronger, he inexplicably feels a little frightened, Hou Jie can't care about arguing with Li Yuer, he ran to the front of the ship full of shock, and Li Rong, a fat man who is used to running the sea, looked at the sky and waved his hand indifferently.
"It's okay, it's just commonplace, I often encounter it, even if Hou Xian's nephew goes to stay under the cabin, the uncle here will deal with it."
"Oh, that little nephew went to help, too."
In the end, there is still a title of Luzon observer, leading Li Yuer, Hou Jie turned his head and was about to walk under the cabin, helping to standardize the government soldiers, I don't want to just take two steps, Li Fat Man behind him suddenly turned a corner, and the wide official robe was already round by him, and Li Rong rolled over like a red ball when he saw the ghost.
"New, new, Xinxiang County Lord, you, why are you here?"
"Ben, what's wrong with this county lord here?" Sneaking onto the boat, Li Yuer was already weak-hearted, and she stumbled when she spoke, but she slapped her thigh sadly if she didn't want Li to do it: "Something's wrong, something is wrong!" Virtuous nephew, immediately take the county lord to the warehouse, the bottom of the cabin, hide tightly, and you must not come out! ”
In the cabin on the lowest deck, Li Yuer was wrapped like a ball, with an oil lamp on her head, looking at Hou Jie with a depressed face, she wondered, and Hou Jie also looked at her helplessly.
The turbulence in the cabin is getting more and more violent, people who have not experienced it will not have this concept, the whole foot is trembling, the sky is spinning, shaking the faces of both of them green, suddenly, the oil lamp shook down from the hanging nails, and Hou Jie was so panicked that he finally covered it with a dog poop, but he screamed so hot that he threw it out at once, but Li Yuer reached out and grabbed the lamp handle.
Looking at this girl's funny face, Hou Jie, who felt embarrassed, simply shrugged his shoulders: "I'll go up and have a look." ”
"Hmm."
Holding on to the handrail, it really took a lot of effort to climb into the cabin, and there were busy sailors like ants along the way, climbing up to the deck exit along the bridge, and just pushed the door open, Hou Jie didn't fly out, holding the crunching heavy wooden door for half a day before standing firmly, and the bean-sized raindrops hit his face and hurt.
It took a while to get used to the vision in the rainstorm, Hou Jie's mouth grew big, his eyes were full of silver chains whipping the sea, the huge waves rose and fell, and the sixty-meter-long Qi boat giant ship was thrown up and down like a toy in the bathtub, and it seemed to be swallowed up and down at any time in the big waves.
"Ahhhh
Just when Hou Jie was dumbfounded, a long scream suddenly came from his head, on the mast, he finally untied the sails, and a thin sailor was swept out directly by the storm, and disappeared after falling into the sea twice, and he shuddered, and Hou Jie quickly closed the cabin door.
Is this also trivial? Potluck? Anxious, Hou Jie strode to the captain's room to ask Li Rong, and as soon as he arrived at the door, the violent quarrel inside made him stiff.
"Women bring bad luck, the sea god is already furious, Lord Min Wangcheng, it's too late if you don't act!"
"My lord, more than 2,000 lives!"
"Shut up to the official, that's the county lord, the righteous daughter of the king of Min, can you all want to rebel?" Li Rong hissed and roared as hard as he could, but the others still didn't give up, and kept persuading: "My lord, didn't we say that we threw the county lord into the sea, gave the county lord a small boat, and let her go to Ryukyu first?" ”
"Fart, use a boat in this weather, that's looking for death, what should you do, what should you do, stabilizing the boat is more important than anything else."
"Whoa."
Unwillingly, many boatswain dispersed, and at this time, at the door, Hou Jie had long disappeared.
The sudden storm lasted until midnight, and in the end it was still survived by the Fujian fleet, but the price paid was also heavy, and the twenty-seven-meter boat that followed sank two, a large number of goods were damaged, and one hundred and twelve people were killed and wounded, and the entire fleet was sighing.
After sailing for more than a morning, at noon, the huge land suddenly appeared in view, and the whole ship of more than 1,000 soldiers was boiling, cheering and shouting that Luzon had arrived, but unfortunately, it didn't take long for the sailors of each ship to splash cold water down, this is not Luzon at all, it is Ryukyu, and Luzon is still far away.
The fleet docked in Tainan County, south of the Ryukyus, with a circumference of thousands of bricks and rammed earth walls, and the port was also lively.
As a result of the great storm, the fleet had to be replenished, and the big ships were stopped in the deep sea, and the remnants of a dozen or so small boats sailed to the port for repairs and repairs, and the wind and sun were fine all afternoon, and there was no sign of the terrible storm of last night.
In the end, there are still some privileges, the soldiers nested on the boat to eat dried fish and pickles, but Hou Jie and Li Yuer boarded the port, and when they arrived at the big restaurant near the sea, the sun gradually sank to the sea level, the sea water illuminated by the afterglow was brilliant, and the dense ships docked in the port swayed endlessly, eating delicious food, life could not be more comfortable, but Li Yuer couldn't be happy.
"What's the matter, didn't you go ashore last night to have a good meal, this is my sister's living expenses, and I specially ordered a big table for you." Holding the wine jug, Hou Jie is little white face turned red, muttered dissatisfiedly, and sighed with a low head in a cold manner.
"Do you want to throw me in the Ryukyus and set sail for Luzon yourself?"
Hou Jie's face froze suddenly, but Li Yuer really had such an expression, leaning lightly on the seat.
"You know what? In fact, I am not like you who was born with a golden soup spoon in my mouth, my mother is an ordinary herdsman on the grassland, and I don't even know who my father is, maybe a certain head man is on a whim, and if I grow up, maybe it would be best to marry a certain head man and become a concubine in a dozen rooms, until that rebellion completely shattered my life. ”
"I don't know how many meters of the big pit, forced by those who shouted for the restoration of the Turkic head, my mother could only lead me desperately to escape, and finally fell into the pit, blood dripping down, my mother didn't know when she was out of breath, there were knives and soldiers everywhere, at that time I thought I was dead, until the evening, my father-in-law's tired face and the kind smile of the little mother appeared in front of me."
Shaking his head with emotion, Li Yuerhu's blue eyes were full of sentimentality for the first time, but Hou Jie, who listened to it, was stunned.
"Maybe my father-in-law just adopted me like a poor little animal at that time, but he taught me to be stronger, and slowly, his and my little mother's care supplemented my love and let me know that there was another way to live, so, I, I always wanted to help him do something, although I knew that I couldn't take a woman on the boat, I also slipped up......"
"So you used to beat me all over the head when I was a kid?"
Listening to Hou Jie's resentful voice, Li Yuer couldn't help but laugh out loud, and immediately glanced at him: "Yes, who made you born in happiness at that time and didn't know how to be blessed, there is such a sister who loves you, you don't know how to cherish it." ”
Obviously touched by his eyes, Hou Jie urged his head down, as if he didn't see that, Li Yuer was still reminiscing with emotion.
"Thank you, I knew last night, you held a sword and guarded me all night, I wish you a prosperous future and can revitalize the glory of your ancestors." Finally, she said sadly, Li Yuer stood up and was about to pretend to be chic and walk out, not wanting Hou Jie to suddenly hold her hand.
"Maybe I can help you."
"You, why?" Full of surprise, Li Yuer turned her head in disbelief, and what caught her eye was Hou Jie's exaggerated smile: "The boat is very bitter, isn't it too boring without you as a violent girl?" ”
"Die."
After a pause, Li Yu'er shook her head helplessly: "Thank you for your kindness, but you can't convince Lord Li and Lord Yang, who makes the sea god hate us women." ”
"You know what? One of the things I admire most about your father-in-law, King Min, is his will, the path he wants to go, even God can't stop him! ”
Blinking slyly, Hou Jie grabbed a handful of mung bean sprouts and said with a smile: "Besides, sometimes God will also be our help!" ”
In the captain's room, whether it was Governor Yang Yucheng or King Cheng Li of Fujian, his face was ugly, and a large group of boatswains were even more discussed, but under so many questions, Hou Jie's face was as usual, and he led Li Yuer to the round table with a big stride.
"Virtuous nephew, it's not a good ......" opened his mouth to blame half a sentence, Li Yan simply arched his hand at Li Yu'er, and persuaded him straightforwardly and painstakingly: "County Lord, there is no offense, you can't take a woman on a boat on the sea, otherwise the sea god will be angry, you also saw the situation yesterday." ”
"No, no, no." Haha, Hou Jie waved his hand in front of Li Yuer, and said: "The little nephew originally wanted to act according to the plan and lead the county lord to the post station, but on the carriage, the little nephew didn't know how to fall asleep, but it was actually the sea god who gave me a dream, saying that the county lord was noble, so the sea came out of the angry waves to wash the dust for her, the dust has passed, and we will be safe and sound along the way." "Xian, don't be kidding."
Li Yu'er's little brain was endless, but Li Yu'er's fat face had an expression of you liaring the ghost, Yang Yucheng couldn't cry or laugh, seeing this scene, Hou Jie snapped his fingers again: "I knew you didn't believe it, so I brought back the miracle of the sea god." ”
A pot filled with soil, ordinary flower pots in a group of sailors stared at the eyes of the round table in front of the round table, respectfully worshiped three times, Hou Jie solemnly took out a statue from his arms, this era of Mazu has not yet risen, but the prototype of Mazu, Tianfei Niangniang has already been produced, people at sea often take it on the body to protect themselves, a circle of curious eyes, Hou Jie buried the statue into the soil.
"Tomorrow morning, the sea god will come out to give an edict to everyone, just one night." A serious book, Hou Jie swore that he didn't believe in any sea god apparitions at all, and after thinking about it, Li Zhen nodded indifferently: "Okay, a word is a certainty, if the god statue doesn't emerge tomorrow?" ”
"I'll go back myself!" Li Yuer raised her small fist firmly.
