Chapter 151: Mazu Temple Makes a Wish

"Little sister, we are really not pirates, but the elite battalion of the Jingnan Army, and we want to settle on Baisha Island for a few hours......" Gong Changyu clasped his fists and saluted, "Is there anything wrong with the decoration of the wolf's head?" ”

"What Jing Nanjun, this girl has never heard of it. We don't welcome officers and soldiers here, so you better go back to the sea! The woman was dismissive.

"What if we don't go back?" Gong Changyu smiled.

"Then look at the move!" After speaking, the woman's feet shoveled to the ground, and the sand on the beach flew sideways towards Gong Changyu's eyes.

The woman had a hot temper and made a preemptive strike, which Gong Changyu never expected. He skillfully raised his red robe and swept it forward, covering his face and blocking the yellow sand that flew over, and the sand fell on his boots, wet.

As soon as he avoided the attack of the sand, a harpoon flew over, piercing his heart, Gong Changyu rolled on the spot, the harpoon went back, and the sharp harpoon was about to pierce Xiong Wanmin.

Gong Changyu pounced, reached out and grabbed the end of the harpoon, which was less than a centimeter away from Xiong Wanmin's body at this time, and Xiong Wanmin broke out in a cold sweat.

It seems that these fishermen want to drive Gong Changyu and his party into the sea and will not let them land on the island. Gong Changyu had never seen such unreasonable fishermen, and he decided not to have a direct conflict with these fishermen, and temporarily withdrew to the boat: "Brothers, withdrawβ€”"

Hei Dashuai was unwilling and stopped Gong Changyu: "General, there are only more than 100 of them, why should we run?" ”

"If you don't run, you can't fight them?" Gong Changyu dragged the black handsome and said as he ran.

"As long as we catch the woman, the fishermen won't dare to make a move." Hei Dashuai shook off Gong Changyu's hand, and then pulled out a soft sword from his waist and was about to go back.

"Black Marshal, didn't you see that they had guns in their hands? If you rush forward with your sword, you will be hit with a musket. Gong Changyu looked back, and the woman did not catch up.

Seeing Gong Changyu fleeing with his life, the woman couldn't help laughing: "You pirates, do you think Baisha Island is so easy to come up?" If we don't shoot today, we will give you enough face. ”

"Damn, do you think Lao Tzu won't dare to fight you? The Marines of the Eagle Strike Li Naval Division are not our opponents, and we are afraid that you fishermen will not succeed? Gong Changyu scolded in his heart, if I really returned to the ship, wouldn't I be ridiculed by the world that I am the backbone of Zhu Bajie - an incompetent person. Or take retreat as advance, let the purple-robed woman be proud for a while, and wait for a while, I want you to cry without tears.

Maybe Gong Changyu didn't know that this purple-robed woman was Zhou Xiaoyi, the captain of the self-defense force in the fishing village on Baisha Island. She changed from a tyrant young grandmother in Liwan to a guardian of Baisha Island, what happened? It all started 10 years ago.

Zhou Xiaoyi's father, Zhou Datong, was in the leather business in Nanyue County, and there was a lot of inventory in the warehouse, because of the lack of manpower, Zhou Xiaoyi also came in handy, and Zhou Xiaoyi, who was less than fifteen years old, took care of a small warehouse in Wuyoucheng, his hometown of Baocheng Prefecture.

This little girl Zhou Xiaoyi was originally engaged to the Wang family in Liwan, and in the first month of marriage, Zhou Xiaoyi may have been too tired and fell asleep unconsciously in bed. The candle that fell to the ground burned a corner of the mosquito net, causing a fire that burned the leather goods to the ground. The guys extinguished everyone, and although Zhou Xiaoyi was rescued, her handsome face was seriously injured.

After a month of emergency treatment, Zhou Xiaoyi's face still had scars that were difficult to heal. The day after the wedding, the young master of the Wang family, who woke up drunk, opened his eyes and saw Zhou Xiaoyi's hideous face, almost scared out of heart disease.

The Wang family felt cheated, and half a month later, Zhou Xiaoyi was driven out of the Wang family with a letter of resignation. In order to save personal face, Zhou Datong's relatives and friends in his hometown said that Zhou Xiaoyi married the fifth diamond king in Liwan and lived a very good life. On the other hand, Zhou Datong bought a piece of land of dozens of acres on Baisha Island, built an attic for Zhou Xiaoyi, and promised that whoever married Zhou Xiaoyi would give the land and attic as a gift for the dowry.

The young and strong young man on the island didn't care about these things at all, because looking at Zhou Xiaoyi's face was too terrifying, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat. Five years later, that is, when Zhou Xiaoyi was twenty years old, there was a 50-year-old Jianghu Langzhong on the island, he was a bachelor who had never married a wife, and he did not stop because of Zhou Xiaoyi's ugly appearance. With the acquiescence of Zhou Datong, Zhou Xiaoyi married Lang Zhong, who was more than 30 years older than herself.

Lang Zhong often goes to sea with fishermen, picks all kinds of precious medicinal materials, prepares them into decoctions, and lets Zhou Xiaoyi take a bath and wash his face, under Lang Zhong's careful care, the scars on Zhou Xiaoyi's body are almost removed, except for the two finger-sized scars on her face, her skin has returned to its former luster, and Lang Zhong taught Zhou Xiaoyi how to use martial arts and muskets whenever he is free. As a result, the depressed Zhou Xiaoyi was also in a cheerful mood, and her depression for many years was cured.

Just one morning half a year ago, Lang Zhong went to sea for the last time to collect medicine. On the way home, he encountered a group of pirates who had wolf heads on their clothes. In order to protect the fishermen, this martial arts warrior slashed with the pirate leader, and during the fight, the two fell into the sea and were swallowed by the great white shark who had been waiting for a long time.

The fishermen rose up and wiped out the frenzied pirates. But Lang Zhong couldn't come back, Zhou Xiaoyi, who loved Lang Zhong deeply, was grief-stricken, and the child in her belly was not saved. After losing her husband and children, she hated pirates so much that she sold part of her land on the island and organized a fishermen's self-defense unit as its captain.

Because of Lang Zhong's unfortunate death, the scars on Zhou Xiaoyi's face still completely faded, and she had to wear a black hat and tie a veil to prevent others from seeing her face. Today, Gong Changyu suddenly appeared with soldiers, which reminded Zhou Xiaoyi of her dead husband......

Suddenly, dark clouds rolled on the sea, and the wind rose, and the fishermen, led by the purple-robed woman Zhou Xiaoyi, retreated to the heights of Baisha Island, and then entered the village......

After drifting on the sea for half an hour, a typhoon hung on the sea, and several small wooden boats were blown to the ground, and after a while, several huge waves hit and lifted the boats to the beach, and it seemed that it was safe to stay at sea.

Seeing that the fishermen on the beach had evacuated, the boatmen asked Gong Changyu to dock as soon as possible to avoid the wind and waves.

So, taking advantage of the high tide, the wooden boat suddenly rushed to the edge of the mangrove forest. Then the tide slowly receded, and all the wooden boats ran aground on the beach, and then it rained heavily. The raindrops of beans hit their faces, and they were numb and crispy, and everyone had to take weapons and go into the coconut grove to escape the hurricane. After about half an hour, the wind stopped, the rain stopped, and it was getting dark.

Gong Changyu looked at his pocket watch, it was seven o'clock, he was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and scolded: These beautiful and healthy arms dealers are also too unpunctual, and they obviously said that they would take over the Warship Goulat in the waters of Baisha Island before sunset. According to the agreed time, this point should have arrived a long time ago, and if there was a typhoon, the ironclad warship would have to go to the deep water area of Baisha Island to take shelter from the wind and waves.

On the very previous day, a major event had taken place in the United States of Beauty, when the representatives of the thirteen southern states of the southern plantation slave owners had convened an emergency meeting in preparation for civil war, and all the warships of the southern states had been forcibly requisitioned, including the Goulart Gong Changyu*. Therefore, Gong Changyu waited for a month or a year on Baisha Island, and he couldn't wait for the shadow of the warship. Later, Gong Changyu, who led the "Water Leopard Team" to the Shicheng River, received a large amount of compensation, and he learned that there was a civil war in the United States of America, and it lasted for four years.

"General, will those beautiful and healthy people release our pigeons?" Hei Dashuai asked.

"It's hard to say. We're a warship in Florida*, and they'll let us know if things change. Gong Changyu responded.

"Then let's not wait, let's get on the boat and return to Panyu City now." Hei Dashuai was impatient, "The residents of this island are very unfriendly to us, and it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time. ”

"Hei Dashuai, it's almost dark now, where else can we go?" Gong Changyu waved his hand, "We might as well go to the Mazu Temple over there and stay for one night." ”

"General, Mazu Temple is not something that can be entered casually." Xiong Wanmin said.

"Why can't you go?" Gong Changyu looked dazed.

"Didn't you see that purple-robed woman treating us like pirates?" Xiong Wanmin responded.

"No matter how much. There is no better place to go on this Baisha Island except for the Mazu Temple, which can shelter from the wind and rain. Gong Changyu made a decision immediately and took the soldiers to the Mazu Temple.

After walking for about ten minutes, I finally arrived at the Mazu Temple. As soon as you walk into the Mazu Temple, Gong Changyu can't help but be stunned, this temple can accommodate thousands of people to worship, in the middle of the 8-meter-high Mazu statue is enshrined, accompanied by Chen Jinggu, the goddess of maternal and child protection, Qian Siniang, the female jie who built the famous water conservancy project Mulan Pi in the Song Dynasty, and Zheng He, the navigator of the Jingming Dynasty, and the general Shi Lang who recovered the Ryukyus.

"General, it is said that this Mazu is very effective, do you want to make a wish?" A boatman bows down respectfully in front of the statue of Mazu.

"Well, do as the locals do. General Ben may have a wish. Gong Changyu bowed to Mazu three times, and then knelt down again, and said silently in his heart, Mazu Niangniang, bless me Changyu is invincible, invincible, my daughter-in-law Feng Jiaoer gave me a son, if it works, I should repay my vows with a cow.

After making a wish, Gong Changyu stood up, lit three sticks of incense, and bowed three times to Mazu Niangniang. As soon as the incense was inserted, a gunshot rang out outside the temple, and then hundreds of fishermen surrounded the temple.
