Gunfire on Island 008

Everyone stood up happily, and was just about to go to their respective posts, when Lin Fei suddenly said, "By the way, everyone come back, and I will explain one more thing to everyone." ”

Everyone turned around to look at Lin Fei, Lin Fei said: "There is a Japanese girl on our boat, Chiyo Mika, it is a little devil who has an enmity with us, that girl is innocent, everyone must not bully her." ”

Everyone saw that Lin Fei said very strictly, and agreed repeatedly, so Lin Fei asked everyone to go back to their respective posts and cook some whale meat for everyone to eat, so Liu Daming went to the command room to take the helm, Yu Xier went to the steam engine room to take care of the steam engine, Lin Fei selected more than a dozen people from the infantry, and followed the sailors of the Zhiyuan ship to learn to be sailors, and Li Ming personally took people to cook whale meat.

When the whale meat is not cooked, everyone has a bowl, the whale meat tastes very much like beef, everyone eats in the prisoner of war camp is what pigs and dogs do not eat, and now when they eat whale meat, they suddenly feel that this is the world's first delicacy.

Lin Fei carried a bowl of whale meat, walked to the captain's room, pushed open the door and walked in, only to see Chiyo Mika curled up in the corner of the bed, her hands wrapped around her knees, her head buried in her knees, her shoulders shrugged and cried, Lin Fei said softly: "Chiyo girl, don't cry, eat something." ”

Chiyo Mika raised her head, saw Lin Fei, recognized that this was her kidnapper, shrank back to the corner of the bed, looked at him timidly, her whole body trembled, Lin Fei put the dishes and chopsticks on the table on the side, and said, "Don't be afraid, let you go back when we have a chance, we won't hurt you." ”

Chiyo Mika hugged her legs curled up in front of her chest tightly, and without saying a word, Lin Fei sighed softly and walked out.

Lin Fei gave this whaling ship a new name - Pangu, taking the meaning of Pangu opening the world, and everyone cut off all the ugly braids under Lin Fei's call, the Pangu whaling ship sometimes used sails, sometimes used a steam engine, drifted in the vast East China Sea for ten days and ten nights, a small island appeared in the field of vision, Lin Fei looked at the "World Route Guide" published by the British from the captain's room, and knew that this island was an island in the north of the Philippines, called "Ibayat Island".

Lin Fei said to Liu Daming: "Let's go to that Ibayat Island first. ”

Liu Daming laughed and said, "How do you go to such an island?" Aren't we going directly to Manila, the capital of the Philippines? ”

Lin Fei scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, we have a total of sixty-three people now, and we don't even have a gun, isn't it looking for death to fight Manila, where the Spanish are heavily garrisoned?" Find an island to live on first, and take it one step at a time. ”

The Pangu whaling ship slowly approached the island, and when it was still two kilometers away from the island, Lin Fei said to Liu Daming: "Prepare a bathymetry hammer, measure the water depth, and anchor if the conditions permit, the hydrological situation on the shore is unknown, and it will be troublesome to run aground when you get close." ”

In the sea, you can't stop the ship casually, the anchorage has a water depth limit, generally speaking, the water depth of the anchorage should reach three to five times the draft of the ship, if the anchor is very shallow, the anchored ship is likely to hit the bottom under the action of wind and current. Liu Daming then said loudly with a microphone: "Prepare the bathymetry hammer and report the water depth." ”

A sailor of the Zhiyuan ship immediately took out the sounding hammer, and Japan in this era has implemented the public system of weights and measures nationwide, that is, the units of "meters", "seconds" and "kilograms", so the scale on the sounding hammer is also in "meters", which makes Lin Fei, who is a modern person, very comfortable, and Liu Daming and Yu Xier and the sailors of the Zhiyuan ship are not good, the Beiyang Fleet is from the British, using the British system of weights and measures, that is, "inches" and "feet" These units, as for the infantry on the ship, It is more accustomed to the weights and measures of the Chinese municipal system, that is, units such as "city size" and "city inch".

At this time, the sailor said in a loud voice: "The depth of the water is twelve meters, which is equivalent to thirty-seven .3700 feet, which is four times the current draft, and it can be anchored." ”

Lin Fei listened to the sailor's report and thought to himself: "The people on a ship actually use three sets of weights and measures!" In the future, we must unify the weights and measures. ”

Liu Daming listened to the report and said loudly: "Anchor! "A sailor ran to the windlass, pulled the anchor handle, the anchor fell into the water, causing the anchor chain to rattle, and the anchor quickly sank to the bottom of the water, piercing deep into the mud and sand, and the boat slowly stopped.

Lin Fei said to everyone: "Put down the dinghy, I will take a few people to the island to have a look." So everyone put the dinghy off the whaling boat, Liu Daming wanted to go to the island with Lin Fei, Lin Fei shook his head and said, "Go and call Lao Yu, I will go to the island with him." ”

Liu Daming was stunned for a moment and said: "I don't know what demons and monsters are on the island, my old Liu can fight and is not afraid of death, what can that old foreign fish do?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "This island is the territory of the Spaniards, maybe there are Spaniards on it, Lao Yu is a European face, I take him with him one more way to deal with the Spaniards, you don't have to worry too much, concentrate on the Pangu whaling ship, it is our lifeblood, if it goes to anchor, touches the reef, and runs aground, we will be finished!" ”

Liu Daming didn't say anything anymore, and asked people to find Yu Xi'er, and soon Yu Xi'er rushed over, Lin Fei picked two more infantrymen, one is called Niu Dalong, the other is called Niu Dahu, it is a pair of brothers, these two brothers have practiced Dahong boxing for a year, and they can be regarded as good in the infantry.

The four of them paddled close to Ibayat Island, and when they were about to reach the shore, Lin Fei put down the oars, took out a monocular from his pocket, and looked towards the island, this telescope was found from a whaling ship, although the maximum magnification was only four times, but it was much stronger than the naked eye.

Lin Fei was looking at the island, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Yu Xier take out a notebook and a pencil from his pocket, what was written in the notebook, Lin Fei couldn't help but ask, "Old Yu, what are you writing?" ”

Yu Xier shook the notebook in his hand and said with a smile: "I want to study Chinese culture well, so I decided to write down everything I heard about Chinese culture, I just heard Niu Dalong say ......"

Yu Xier was talking, when he suddenly heard a "bang-pop" sound from the island, and the faces of the four people changed, because this sound was a gunshot! And it was issued from a rifle, by no means a shotgun.

Niu Dalong hurriedly asked, "Shangguan Lin, why is there gunfire on this island?" ”

Lin Fei looked at the island with a telescope, only saw a large coconut grove, he put down his glasses, shook his head and said, "I can't see people, I don't know where the gunshots came from." ”

Niu Dalong then asked, "Then are we still on the island?" ”

Lin Fei pondered for a moment, pointed to the Pangu with his hand, and said, "Let's go back first and come back in the evening." ”

"We don't have to wait until the evening, we can go up now, I know some Spanish, enough to fool the Spaniards on the island so that they won't kill us." ”

Lin Fei said: "What if it wasn't the Spaniards but the pirates who shot on the island? Can your Spanish save us? ”

Yu Xier was speechless, nodded, Lin Fei grabbed the wooden oar, rowed the boat to turn, and at this time, the gunshots on the island rang out one after another.

When Lin Fei and the others returned to Pangu, Liu Daming smiled when he saw Lin Fei: "I heard gunshots in the distance, and I thought you were killed by the Spaniards, and we were about to kill the island to avenge you, so you came back." ”

Lin Fei laughed twice and said, "There are strange things on the island, let's go to the island at night." At that moment, gunshots were heard again on the island, and until it was dark, the gunshots rang out on the island every once in a while, and everyone was asking, "What the hell is going on this island?" What's going on with these gunshots? ”

When it was completely dark, Lin Fei took Yu Xi'er, Niu Dalong and Niu Dahu to the island, this time they brought harpoons and machetes, all of which were on whaling boats, and after getting to the island, they got into the coconut grove and quietly walked in the direction where the gunshots came.

Lin Fei walked in the front, and suddenly heard a noise from the grass in the distance, and his rich experience in jungle warfare told him that this sound was definitely not made by animals, because the sound made by animals was continuous, and this sound was intermittent.

Lin Fei waved his hand to stop the three of them, and whispered with his finger in the direction from which the sound came: "Someone is coming, everyone is hidden." The four men hid behind the tree, and looked in the direction from which the sound came by the moonlight, and in a short time they saw two men carrying something out of the woods, and it was too dark to see what they were carrying.

Lin Fei motioned to the three of them not to make a sound, take a look and say more, only to see the two people disappear into the woods on the side, and they came out again after a short time, the things they were carrying were gone, and the two walked back from the way they came, Lin Fei whispered: "Let's go, let's go and see what they are carrying." ”

Lin Fei stood up and walked towards the woods in the distance, when he was walking, suddenly a strange smell came from the depths of the woods, Yu Xier and Niu Dalong Niu Dahu both covered their noses, Yu Xier asked in a low voice, "What kind of smell is this?" ”

Lin Fei frowned and said, "This is the smell of corpses, it seems that the thing that the two people carried just now is a corpse." While he was talking, he saw a deep ditch appear in front of him, and a thick corpse smell came from the bottom of the ditch, and there were corpses lying at the bottom of the ditch, Niu Dalong asked in a low voice: "Who are these corpses?" ”

Lin Fei shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know either." I guess the two guys who carried the bodies will come again, and when they do, we'll find a way to catch them and ask them about it. ”

Niu Dahu came over and said, "Lin Shangguan, what do you need us to do?" ”

Lin Fei said: "Those two guys are not tall and not strong, I can deal with them alone, I am afraid that they will shout and attract accomplices, you are ready to plug the mouthcloth, and when I catch them, you will gag their mouths." ”
