Chapter 109: Guilt

Although this sloop is small in size and has only two decks, it has a strong practicality, and the construction technique is not very difficult, and the materials used are not very large.

And the force of this kind of sloop schooner is not necessarily small, if it is built according to the lighter 200 material ship, the length of the hull is about 20 meters, the width is about 5 meters, plus the middle deck is from the bow to the stern, on both sides of the ship, can be arranged three or four six-pounder guns, the strongest bow and stern structure, can also be arranged two twelve-pounder guns, so that this kind of sloop, can be loaded with up to ten guns, already has a fairly strong combat effectiveness.

If the ship is enlarged and built according to the 400-material ship, with the addition of a mast, the length of the ship can reach nearly 30 meters, the width of the ship can reach more than 6 meters, the side of the ship can be arranged on each side of the five to seven 12-pounder guns and 6-pounder guns, the upper open deck can also be arranged with a few more six-pounder guns, the number of guns on the ship can reach nearly 20, then it has stronger firepower.

Although such a ship is not enough to compete with the large Galen-type warships currently used by the Dutch or the British, it can no longer be defeated against the average medium-sized Western warship, and the most important thing is that its speed and agility are far superior to the Galen ships currently used by Westerners.

Therefore, such a ship, Yu Xiaotian thought that it was the ship he needed the most, and it was also the most suitable ship for their current construction, so he took advantage of more than ten days to take a few joiners to make the ship model of this sloop by hand.

When he saw that this ship model was completely completed and presented in front of him, Yu Xiaotian breathed a long sigh of relief, this is the best thing he has done since he came to this world, and it is also the thing he has always wanted to do, and now he has finally done it.

Around this boat model with a length of less than one meter, Yu Xiaotian carefully checked it, sorted out the sail ropes on the ship, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with the boat, and then he returned to the bedroom to rest.

When Xiaotian returned to the bedroom, he found that the light was still on in the bedroom at this time, and Zhao Si, who was following him, was already yawning at this time, and he was walking a little swaying.

Yu Xiaotian asked, "Zhao Si, what time is it now?" ”

Zhao Si yawned and replied: "Go back to the big boss, it's already past the third watch at this time, and it's about to be the fourth watch, the big boss has been staying up so late every day, and the brothers feel that it's not a way for the big boss to go on like this, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the body of the big boss can't stand it!"

Just now, Mrs. quietly went to the front to see you, and saw that you were still busy, and asked the little one to persuade the big boss to rest early, don't burn up!

The small one originally wanted to say it, but the big boss drove the small one out of the way, and the small one couldn't do anything! I can only stay outside the door!

Mrs. hasn't slept yet, even if the big boss doesn't feel sorry for himself, at least he has to feel sorry for Mrs.! Mrs. Tiantian has been accompanying the big boss to stay up until now, and Mrs. Tian's body can't stand it after a long time! ”

Yu Xiaotian realized that it was already early in the morning, and he was busy making a model of this dhow every night these days, and he had to work until about four o'clock almost every night before resting, and Lan'er and Xiu'er also waited for him to wash up almost every night before going to bed.

As soon as he thought of this, Yu Xiaotian was moved, men in this era are so happy, most of people's wives are very virtuous, their husbands don't sleep, they have to wait to accompany them, Lan'er is now his wife, but there is still no change, and she is waiting for him carefully.

And what about him, except for a few days when he got married, he accompanied her, and in the days to come, he either ran around, or worked until midnight in front, rarely paying attention to Lan'er's situation, even when he got married, he went back drunk because he had to deal with a lot of guests every day, in fact, he really spent very little time with Lan'er.

A trace of guilt rose in Yu Xiaotian's heart, so he patted Zhao Si's shoulder and said, "Okay!" Go to sleep, a few of you have been staying up late with me every day these days, and I see that your kid is about to drift! I'll go to bed early in the future! Hugh is verbose! ”

Zhao Si gritted his teeth, and bowed to Yu Xiaotian with a standing position, turned around and ran back to the residence of their guards in the front yard, while Yu Xiaotian took a deep breath and walked towards Lan'er's bedroom.

The candlelight in the bedroom is still on, Lan'er is sitting on a chair, sewing a piece of clothing under the candlelight, you don't need to look at it, she is still sewing new clothes for Yu Xiaotian, since Yu Xiaotian rescued her from Jiang's house, Lan'er took on the sewing of all Yu Xiaotian's clothes, from head to toe basically all year round clothes, she prepared for Yu Xiaotian early.

As long as Yu Xiaotian needs it, he will have new clothes to wear at any time, thinking that when he first came, there was only a pair of shorts left on his body, and now he feels very happy.

Next to the small table at the door of the bedroom, Xiu'er was already sitting on a small chair and falling asleep on the small table at this time, after all, Xiu'er is not too old to stay up late, and she is lying on the table at this time, sleeping deeply, and a little saliva is still flowing from the corner of her mouth, and a bright line appears under the candlelight.

When Yu Xiaotian pushed open the door, Xiu'er was not awakened, she was still asleep at the desk, and Lan'er was obviously a little unable to hold it at this time, holding the sewn clothes in one hand, and the little hand couldn't help but put it to her mouth and yawned, which made Yu Xiaotian a little funny.

"Big brother is back! Xiu'er, wake up quickly, big brother is back! Hurry up and get your face wash ready! Lan'er heard the sound of the door, looked up and saw Yu Xiaotian who was walking into the room with his legs raised, quickly put down the work in his hand, stood up and greeted Yu Xiaotian while shouting at Xiu'er, who was still asleep at the door.

And although they are married, Lan'er still habitually calls Yu Xiaotian the eldest brother, and does not change his mouth to call him Xianggong, and Yu Xiaotian is also used to Lan'er calling him so, so neither of them changed their words.

However, because Xiu'er belongs to the maid in the room, she changed her name to Xiaotian and called her master, which made Yu Xiaotian a little unaccustomed, is she old? It always feels old-fashioned to call him like this, so in private he asked Xiu'er to call him the master, which is different from Lan'er.

Xiu'er, who was asleep, heard Lan'er's scream, woke up with a bang, and quickly wanted to get up, but because her body was suddenly uncoordinated and her legs were stiff, she fell down again as soon as she stood up.

"Alright, alright! Xiu'er doesn't have to be busy, go and rest, I've already washed my face in front of me! I've kept you waiting! Yu Xiaotian smiled and said to Xiu'er, who was trying to struggle to stand up.

Xiu'er realized that the corners of her mouth were a little cold at this time, reached out and touched it, and found that she was drooling a lot, and suddenly her pretty face was blushing, and she quickly stood up again, and said with a red face to Xiaotian: "The master is back!" The fell asleep unconsciously just now, and I hope that the lady in charge will forgive me! The is going to wash the feet of the master! ”

Yu Xiaotian waved his hand to let Xiu'er go to carry the water, slowly walked to Lan'er's side, reached out and grabbed Lan'er's little hand, stroked it and said, "Lan'er, you followed me, it's really difficult for you!" Either I'm not by your side, or I'll stay up late every day, so you can't rest well, and wait for me every day!

If I'm late in the future, you won't have to wait for me! Look at you, the light is not good at night, and you are still sitting here making clothes for me, and after a long time, your eyes will be burned! ”

Lan'er snuggled in Xiaotian's arms, and said faintly: "Brother Yu, don't say that, Lan'er can meet you, it is Lan'er's cultivation in her previous life!"

I know that you are a person who does great things, and you can't stay by my side every day, I won't blame you! I just see that you are so busy every day, but I can't help you at all, I really feel a little sorry for you!

Now that we have such a big family business, Brother Yu should be content, don't be so busy in the future, when it's time to rest, take a break! If your body is broken, what should Lan'er do? ”

Yu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Lan'er, you are wrong, what we do is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat!" At the beginning, Zhang Hu was a very good example, he was satisfied with the status quo, but as a result, his subordinates were disheartened, and finally I took advantage of it, so that he ended up hanging!

Although we have a lot of plates now, we are nothing compared to those big guys, if I am content now, sooner or later, I will follow in the footsteps of Zhang Hu!

There are many other things, I can't tell you, this world will soon be in chaos, if we are not prepared before the chaos in the world, then we will be destroyed by others, and in the end I don't know what kind of fate Lu Dao will end!

So I can't stop, and I don't dare to stop! I hope you can understand what I mean, once we set foot on this road, it is a road of no return, and we can't turn back or stop! ”

Lan'er nodded as if she didn't understand: "Big brother's words are always so profound, Lan'er can't understand it a little!" But Lan'er knew that what the eldest brother did was right! Since the eldest brother said so, Lan'er won't persuade you anymore! But I also hope that the eldest brother can take care of his body, don't be too tired! ”

Yu Xiaotian pinched Lan'er's pointed chin, lifted her pretty face, watched Lan'er kiss her little mouth fiercely, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to it in the future!" It's not too early! I think we'd better get some rest! ”

Lan'er heard that Yu Xiaotian's words contained another meaning, her heart fluttered slightly, and she whispered to Xiaotian with a little embarrassment.

Yu Xiaotian looked up to the sky and sighed, picked up Lan'er, put Lan'er on the bed, and pretended to be angry: "In this case, you are still teasing me, and you don't rest early, you really should fight!" Hurry up and go to bed! Don't stay up late these days! I was found to stay up late again, and I didn't have a way to serve! ”

Lan'er nodded with some regret and agreed, and pushed Yu Xiaotian and said, "Big brother, let's go to Xiu'er's room to sleep in the past two days!" Lan'er can't serve her eldest brother anymore! ”

Yu Xiaotian was about to excuse himself, when Xiu'er walked in with a basin of hot water and wanted to serve Yu Xiaotian to soak his feet.

Yu Xiaotian had to keep his mouth shut, because during this time he found that Xiu'er, a girl, was also a good person, did things in a measured manner, never competed for favor, and was also very gentle and considerate, knew how to advance and retreat, and got along well with others.

Even Liu Laoliu and Liu Wang, who were more hostile to her at the beginning, saw that Xiu'er was beautiful, for fear that Xiu'er would compete with Lan'er for favor, but after this period of time passed, they also changed their attitude towards her and took the initiative to say good things about her.

So Yu Xiaotian also likes Xiu'er very much now, but since he and Lan'er got married, in order to take care of Lan'er's mood, when he was on the island, he stayed with Lan'er more often and rarely stayed at Xiu'er.

In fact, he also understands that Xiu'er also wants to be favored by him, he doesn't rest, Xiu'er is actually the same as Lan'er, waiting for him to come back every day, silently waiting for him to wash up, and then closing the door and leaving, which will definitely be very uncomfortable in his heart.

So he sighed slightly, touched Lan'er's little face, smiled a little, and said to Lan'er: "Since that's the case, then it's okay!" Rest well! Don't touch cold water again these days, and don't eat ice porridge anymore! It's easy to hurt yourself! ”

Lan'er showed Yu Xiaotian a playful smile, stuck out her tongue and agreed, and winked at Xiu'er who was standing behind Yu Xiaotian.

Xiu'er immediately blushed as well, but there was still a look of joy on her face......

(Today, I saw the reward of my old friend Hu Lulu brother!) Of course, I have to say thank you! Hehe! )
