"Oops, oops~~"

As the pillar gently lifted the fine gauze on Doudou's face, Doudou grinned.

The night before, in a short and vicious battle, the caravan fired a total of seven shots, and one of the bird guns had an accident - it did not explode, but the tail of the gun cracked a gap, and the gunpowder gas sprayed out the half of Doudou's cheeks.

"Can't you endure a little?" While changing his dressing, Zhuzi glanced at Chen Liuzi, who seemed to be asleep on the bed next to him, and said with some annoyance.

"It hurts! It hurts, brother! Doudou no longer had the courage and composure of that night, and seemed to have changed back to the fifteen-year-old boy again.

"Look at the people, when the son used that alcohol to wash his wounds, the beads of sweat on his face didn't make a sound," the pillar pointed at Chen Liuzi, and counted Doudou with some anger, "Look at you again, what does it look like to change the medicine ghost to shout and scream?" ”

At this time, the little guy finally stopped calling, and turned his head to look at Chen Liuzi who was sleeping, he also admired this "captive" in his heart, he could still grit his teeth and endure it after being so seriously injured.

"Pillar, hurry, let's go!" As soon as the pillar finished changing Doudou's medicine, Liu Zhongwen came in from outside the door and shouted, and the pillar came out in response.

Liu Zhongwen saw Chen Liuzi who was sleeping in a flash, and shouted as if he suddenly remembered something, "Uncle Ge! Did you tell Kichijomaru that the doctor he was looking for had a response? ”

Ge Bi flashed out of the corner of the small courtyard and replied, "I forced Kichimaru to find that missionary yesterday, and he said that the other party agreed, but he didn't have time until tonight." ”

"Exactly!" Chu Fan, who came down from upstairs, said, "If we haven't come back yet, Uncle Ge asked him to wait...... I'm not on the side of this operation, staring at it, it's not steady. ”

Ge Bi didn't understand what the operation was at all, but he had long been accustomed to these strange terms in Chu Fan's mouth, so he nodded and agreed.

Standing in the courtyard where there were still traces of scorching, Chu Fan straightened out the aqua blue forging robe, glanced at the pillars that had been cleaned up, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "It's all cleaned up?" Let's go! ”

When Zhu Zi saw Chu Fan's evil smile, he chuckled in his heart, he knew that Alfonso, a profiteer, was probably going to suffer this time - not long after the last time Gongzi showed this evil smile, He Jianxin was planted under Doudou's firecracker!

While the pillar was mourning for Alfonso, the latter was standing at a street corner in Nagasaki that he rarely came to waiting for Chu Fan.

Alfonso is now very sure of slaughtering this seemingly harmless Ming country Xiaoxiucai, the other party has run to his warehouse three or four times these days - unpacking and inspecting the goods, test firing, and even brought a ruler to measure the size, Alfonso can see that the Ming people are very satisfied with their batch of Lu Mi Gong.

Although Chu Fan never mentioned the price, Alfonso believed that as long as he gritted his teeth and did not let go, Chu Fan could only obediently pay for the goods according to his quotation in the end.

He has not been idle these days, and has changed his methods to inquire about the situation of these Ming people from various channels, since he knew that the fairy grass cigarettes that are now popular in Nagasaki are being sold by Chu Fan, Alfonso is more at ease - in Alfonso's opinion, the other party scraped so much silver from Nagasaki with tobacco that could not be cheaper, and it was normal to spend twenty or thirty thousand taels to buy the best guns of this era to arm himself.

Alfonso also asked about Nagasaki Town, and the reply he received was that Nagasaki Town did not interfere in the transaction between the Dutch and the Ming people - as long as it was not sold to the Japanese people, Nagasaki Town was too lazy to take care of it, and they only collected taxes.

What does that mean? Yes, in the words of the Ming people, "everything is ready, only the east wind is owed", Alfonso thought beautifully, those six-pounder field guns seem to be Chu Fan is also interested, what price should be quoted at that time? Eight hundred taels? Or one thousand two hundred taels?

“Hello！”

The familiar English greeting interrupted Alfonso's sweet dream, and when he looked up, Chu Fan, who was full of smiles, was walking towards him with his small guard.

After straightening the carefully prepared hard collar, Alfonso immediately had a smile on his face and opened his arms towards Chu Fan, "Hello! My dear friend! After a few days of not seeing him, Mr. Chu looked a little more handsome. ”

Chu Fan wittily but not rudely dodged Alfonso's bear hug, and smiled and greeted him with non-nutritious words such as "the weather is so nice today".

After chatting for five or six minutes, Alfonso couldn't help it, "Mr. Chu, you have seen both my arquebus and bronze cannon a few days ago, do you think we are talking about trading today?" ”

Chu Fan smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, it's still early...... Ah, I remember, it's Sunday, Mr. Alfonso, and I'm very interested in how you Calvinists do worship...... There's a church here, how about we go to service? He deliberately said the words Calvinism out loud, and pointed to the Protestant church he had seen when he and Yan Ruxue came out last time.

The smile on Alfonso's face suddenly froze, and when Chu Fan said Calvinism, his heart was like falling into an ice cave - how could this Ming man know so much about the relationship between European religions?

However, he still muttered and tried to refuse, "Mr. Chu...... We Calvinists...... Pagans are not accepted during worship...... I'm sorry! ”

"Really?" Chu Fan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't we give it a try and see if the priest in this small church is also the same as yours?" ”

"Oh! No! Alfonso waved his hand and subconsciously took a step back, "I don't think there's any need to try." ”

Chu Fan made a look, and Liu Zhongwen and Zhu Zi immediately stepped forward, sandwiching Alfonso in the center with one left and one right.

"Mr. Alfonso, you have two choices," Chu Fan said in front of Alfonso's frightened pale face, "Or, talk to me about the arquebus and bronze cannon business; Or, let's go to church together...... Of course, we can also skip so many cumbersome steps and go directly to the Nagasaki town to talk about your Catholic identity. ”

Alfonso's face turned even paler—yes! He was a Franciscan, and even more devout Catholic, and from the moment he was sensible, he was constantly indoctrinated by the adults of the family, the priests of the diocese, and all those who served God with all their hearts, that if there were any more evil people in this world than the Moors, than the Islamists, and more than the pagans of the Far East, it could only be those Protestants—whether it was the Calvinists in Germany, the Huguenots in France, or even the Puritans across the Channel, they were a bunch of Satans under the banner of believing in God!

And in Nagasaki, it was precisely this group of Satans who deceived the trust of the shogunate and swept away those who truly believed in God! He knew very well what would happen if he followed Chu Fan to Nagasaki - his ship and cargo would be confiscated, and if he was lucky, the Japanese would throw him on a merchant ship bound for Macau or Manila, and perhaps he would survive; If he is unlucky, he will be thrown on the ship to Batavia, and he will be doomed, where he will be met with the merciless whip and even the cruel hanging of the satans!

Looking at Chu Fan's face with a faint smile, Alfonso was deflated, and a gritted sentence burst out of his mouth.

"You devil! God will punish you! ”
