Chapter 213: The Sorrow of the Old Times

The era of the Caribbean world is somewhat ambiguous, but it can only be said that it was around the 16th and 17th centuries, and the Ming Dynasty fell in 1644, and there were still people from the Ming Dynasty at this time, indicating that it was at least in the early 17th century. Xiao Zhicai didn't bother to care about these things, since the home of this world is in the Caribbean world, let's follow the home field......

Buying the little girl, Xiao Zhi didn't listen to her pitiful origin, just gently pressed her head: "Que'er, when you were embroidering at home as a female celebrity, you haven't seen the suffering of the world, and now that you have come out, you have to muster up the courage to face everything, even if the sky falls, you have to have the courage to pick up the bones!" Only in this way can we seek a glimmer of life in this chaotic world. ”

Que'er was a little puzzled: "Doesn't Uncle go back to Daming?" Que'er wants to go back to Daming with you, Daddy is very rich, and he will thank you! ”

Xiao Zhi laughed and said: "The money in this world is not an important thing for me, let's not say whether I will go to Daming, even if I go and take you with me, and then help you find your family, do you think your father and aunt will ask you to recognize you again?" ”

The old times were so cruel, the yellow flower girl easily did not go out, if she went out, she would cause heartbreak, and she would not be able to marry if she became the so-called "show up". If they are accidentally defiled by gangsters, or robbed to the mountains by bandits, then their fate awaits only death......

It's very simple, if they are not killed by the gangsters, if they rush home, they will be killed by the people in the family, at that time, people were stubborn and sensitive to chastity, and could not tolerate any possibility, even if the gangsters did not do anything to the girl, they must be immersed in the pig cage and drowned, only in this way there will be no gossip to tarnish the reputation of the family, and the most important thing is that the scholar must not have any insulting reputation in the family, otherwise it is easy to make trouble.

The finch has lived in this environment for a long time, and has been instilled with various four virtues since childhood.

She knew very well the importance of reputation and chastity, she was a smart girl, otherwise she would not have pretended to be sick and successfully escaped from the hands of the old man with a goatee, and quickly figured out the key to it, and her face suddenly turned extremely pale: "Ru...... In this case, the finch will not be able to return to home, and there will be no place for this big world. ”

Xiao Zhi took out a bag of shillings from his pocket and threw it into the distance, the shillings inside spilled out and fell all over the ground, and the scum wandering on the side of the street suddenly swarmed up and frantically picked up the shillings on the ground, and some people even fought for a shilling stuck in the gap, which was extremely cruel......

He pointed to these people: "Sparrow, people's fate can be chosen by themselves, in the torrent of fate, we can be the strongest fish in the torrent as long as we work hard!" When you are strong enough, the torrent can no longer restrain you, and when the time comes, the Fish Leaping Dragon Gate will become a thing of the Nine Heavens, and it will be time to be able to control your own destiny......"

Finch's lips turned white: "Nine heavenly things? Wouldn't that be the emperor? The finch didn't dare, and he wanted to kill his head. ”

The corners of Xiao Zhi's mouth twitched twice, telling a ten-year-old child that this was still too complicated, he smiled lightly: "Forget it, you will understand these words in the future, the top priority is that you have to learn how to save your life in danger, after all, if you die, there will be no future...... I'll save you with a soft heart, but I won't be your nanny and shield you from too much wind and rain. ”

Que'er didn't seem to understand, she knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Zhi three times: "Que'er thanks Uncle for saving his life, but he has nothing to repay, he just wants to serve tea and water by the uncle's side, if the crisis comes, he will never add trouble to the uncle!" ”

The black bodyguard Owen Gali next to him was a little confused, Xiao Zhi and Que Er used the Ming language, he was confused, but he could vaguely guess that Xiao Zhi accepted this child as a servant or something.

Just then another black man also returned, with a man on his shoulder, trotting over: "Boss, I've brought Jeshmi Gibbs back, do you see if it's him?" As he spoke, he threw the man to the ground, an old man in a gray shirt and a dark green vest, with a Chinese face, two white beards on his cheeks, and a proper beard.

Yes, he is the Jeshmi Gibbs that Xiao Zhi is looking for, and at the moment he is drunk and smells foul.

Xiao Zhi handed over a small cloth bag: "Find a place, clean him and change into suitable and clean clothes, I will wait for you in the tavern near here...... The rest of the money will be used as an advance for your labor expenses" The black man who brought Jeshmi back was named Cardo, and he felt a lot of weight in the bag, and said with a smile that there was no problem......

Owen, the black bodyguard standing next to him, guarded Xiao Zhi from beginning to end, watching him take out a small cloth bag from his pocket for a while, a little suspicious of his eyes, obviously Xiao Zhi's pocket is so shriveled, why can he take out such a bulging thing?

Xiao Zhi ordered a glass of wine in the tavern next to him and drank it slowly.

Soon Cardo came back with Jeshmi, after the rough purge of this black man, Jeshmi was much more energetic, and he looked at Xiao Zhi vigilantly: "Who is Your Excellency, what are you doing with an old drunk like me?" ”

Xiao Zhi raised his hand, and soon the waiter with the tattooed arm brought over a glass of wine, and he pushed it in front of Jeshmi and smiled: "I just need an experienced old navigator, and you happen to be that person." ”

Jeshmi and Captain Jack are good friends, and since Barbossa betrayed Jack and snatched the Black Pearl eight years ago, Captain Jack has wandered around in frustration. Without a compatible sailing partner, Jeshmi stayed in the chaotic port of Tutuga and dreamed of dying as an old drunkard, intending to spend the rest of his life in waste.

Xiao Zhi said: "You come to be the second mate on the ship, and I will give you two gold coins every month as a reward." ”

This can be regarded as a big recruitment, you must know that recruiting crew members in Tutuga Port, even if you are only responsible for two full meals, you can summon a lot of people on board, of course, the white wolf with empty gloves will naturally not be able to put on any good goods, let alone expect them to have any outstanding skills. Two gold coins are something that only elites can afford......

Jeshmi picked up the glass and took a sip of it, and he laughed twice: "It's just an old drunkard, he can't afford such a big position as the second officer, and two gold coins can find a lot of talents who are younger and smarter than me." Don't waste your time on me, thank you for the wine......"

Xiao Zhi said lightly: "Jack will go too." ”

Jeshmi was about to get up when he froze: "Who are you talking about?" ”

Xiao Zhi said, "Jack Sparrow, the captain of the Black Pearl who looks crazy. ”

Jeshmi looked around and didn't see Jack, he was a little disappointed: "Very good joke, Jack has long lost his ship and is no longer the captain, even if you want to sail, then where is your ship?" ”

Xiao Zhi looked at the night outside through the window: "If nothing else, Jack will come with the boat tomorrow night, and at the same time, it will also bring a message that will cheer you up!" ”
