There are unfamiliar private muttering about how there are still family members, and some businessmen are dissatisfied, thinking that women are unlucky to go to sea on the boat. The complaints reached the ears of the people on Swallow Island, and the people on Swallow Island said bluntly: "Our Bai Xiaoye said that you can go by yourself now, or get off the boat and we will send you back to Nanquan with someone and goods." ”

The disgraced businessman wondered where these two women were sacred, could they be the legendary Lady Pearl? But the age is not right. A well-wisher whispered to him: "That's the family of Li Ye on Swallow Island, the one who is a little smaller and thinner." Li Ye loves her like much, if you have the ability to open her door, you don't need to run so hard by sea, just sit at home and wait for the money to come to the door. ”

The modified escort ship is flexible and fast, not as tall as a merchant ship, but in the eyes of the woman, it is dizzy enough, especially the rope ladder or something Looking at Feng Jiaojiao, she wanted to retreat. Liu Zhi jumped on Li Chun's back with a very skilled look, hugged his neck, and saw him carrying Liu Zhi on his back, holding her with one hand, and grasping the rope ladder with the other hand, and capsized on the boat with three and two strokes.

The willow branch beckoned down, and Feng Xiaobao jumped straight on the feather boat with excitement. The hanging basket has been put down here, Feng Jiaojiao is beating a drum in her heart, it is too late to regret it, so she has to hold the little treasure diamond basket hard, and she screams when the hanging basket is twisted and swaying off the ground. Feng Xiaobao slapped excitedly, "Mother, it's so fun." ”

On the boat, Feng Xiaobao screamed and paused, and Liu Zhi hugged Feng Jiaojiao and said happily: "Jiaojiao, we are going to sea together." ”

Li Chun squatted down and grabbed Feng Xiaobao and said to him very seriously: "Remember what I said to you?" ”

Feng Xiaobao nodded vigorously, Li Chun had avoided the two women and Feng Xiaobao had a so-called conversation between men and men before, including no coquettishness, no picking, no noisy, no crying, no walking around on the boat alone, and protecting your mother and aunt in case of danger. If he can't do it, he won't take him on a big boat, and if he can do it, he will take Xiaobao to the cockpit to have a look.

Thinking of his guarantee, Xiaobao hurriedly covered his mouth with two chubby hands and stopped screaming. Li Chun had a lot of things to do at this time, and he said to Liu Zhi: "You take Jiaojiao and them to the cabin, and I will go and sacrifice to them." ”

Liu Zhi took Xiaobao and nodded: "You go and get busy." ”

Liu Zhi went to the cabin where she lived familiarly, Feng Jiaojiao's mother and son naturally arranged to live next door to her, she chattered: "The bed in the cabin is small and a little hard, I asked Brother Xiaochun to bring the Persian blanket, if there is a storm, Xiaobaoer is not afraid of falling." ”

Feng Xiaobao jumped on the bed excitedly: "It's so fun, mother, look at this window is so small." Feng Jiaojiao and Liu Zhi avoided doing others a favor at this time, and they both sat in the cabin and gossiped, while detaining Feng Xiaobao and preventing him from going to the deck, "Now it's all moving goods outside, don't run around and get in the way of others." ”

Thinking of Uncle Li Chun's agreement with himself, Feng Xiaobao raised his head with his chest straight, I endure, endure, endure, I am a man.

Liu Zhi and Feng Jiaojiao were tidying up their things, Feng Bao'er pouted and pushed a box under the window, stood up and looked outside, and kept asking questions.

"Mother, look, look, there are a lot of people hoisting on each boat, and everyone is climbing on the boat" "Mother, why do some ships have 3 sails, some only have two, and how many of them do we have?" ”

Feng Jiaojiao said casually without raising her head: "You can count them when you go out." "So when can I get out?" Xiaobao persevered and asked.

Feng Jiaojiao fell on the bed and covered her head with her clothes: "Oh, good son, just stop for a while, my mother's head is big for you." ”

Liu Zhi laughed and squeaked her: "Hurry up, your clothes are crumpled for you." ”

Feng Xiaobao got up too early in the morning, and he was too excited to jump up and down just now, and finally couldn't stay up and began to doze off, Feng Jiaojiao coaxed him to fall asleep before he was greatly relieved. The two women continued to talk in a whisper as they sorted out their things, when a long conch horn came from the seashore, "Toot toot." Feng Xiaobao turned over in his sleep, Feng Jiaojiao stood up and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and asked in a low voice, "What is this sound?" ”

"Sea festival. Ask the dragon lord to bless the sea and be safe. ”

"Oh" Feng Jiaojiao nodded, and at the same time put away the last stack of clothes, "Why do you bring men's clothes with you this time?" Not a single piece of women's clothing. ”

"Women can't be allowed on the boat, I used to make a fuss about getting on the boat with Brother Xiaochun. I also learned later that Brother Xiaochun was ruthless before I could get on the boat, and many boatmen refused to follow his boat. Later, I knew that I wore men's clothes, and it was okay to walk a few times, and everyone turned a blind eye. If you want to wear women's clothes, you can buy them in Luzon, and the people over there wear skirts like lanterns. Feng Jiaojiao was confused by the description of the willow branch, and couldn't think of a skirt like a lantern.

Feng Jiaojiao looked at the cabin and sighed in her heart, seeing that the cabin was small but carefully arranged, she knew that Li Chun's mind for Xiaozhi had not changed in the slightest over the years.

There were several large bamboo baskets in the corner of the room, one was empty, there was only one flower cloth mat in it, I don't know what it was for, the others were full of fruits, papaya green mango, and the most was a small green orange, there were two large baskets.

The small green orange not only makes the air in the small room of the ship fresh and smelly, but also the fresh vegetables on the sea boat are scarce, and squeezing the water and drinking a few cups of this small green orange every day can avoid loose teeth, bleeding and other diseases. This was what Governor Andrés told Li Chun that their fleet of Frankie was said to have traveled several seas and could travel for months or even years on the sea, and it was this method that was used instead of vegetables.

Liu Zhi used a small knife with wrong gold and silver to cut the skin of the papaya, this knife was also played by Li Chun for her, the steel fire is excellent, but the appearance is delicate and lovely, only one palm is long, and it is convenient for her to carry it with her every day. The peeled papaya was placed on a wooden plate one by one, as smooth as fat, Feng Jiaojiao asked curiously while eating: "How many seas?" Is there more than one sea in front of you? Oh my God, what should that look like? ”

"So many states overseas? Don't they have gold mines in their own country? Looking for it abroad? How many years can a ship go at sea? A shipload of gold back? Is it really that powerful? ”

Feng Jiaojiao was full of yearning for the overseas world, and Feng Xiaobao was also standing at the window watching the sailors on the deck busy, and they really wanted to go out, but now that the adults are busy, they can't make trouble for others, otherwise they won't have their own share of the fun next time.

The little doll tried very hard to control her urge to shout, it was amazing, wow, such a high sail!

Feng Xiaobao's neck was sore. The sea in the distance is endless, so big, Aunt Liu Zhi said that it would take several days to see the land, and said that the people over there spoke differently than us, so why could they speak differently? Say there's redhead blonde hair, wow, what would that look like? Daddy's eyes are different enough from everyone else, but I heard that there are a lot of blue-eyed people over there, and there are also green-eyed beads.

Feng Xiaobao really has too many questions to ask.

On the incense table on the beach, there were pig's heads, chickens, ducks and other offerings, Bai Qi knelt in front of the desk and held three incense sticks above his head to listen to the peaceful chanting of the sacrifice, and then stepped forward to insert the incense, and the stewards of other merchant ships also stepped forward to insert incense. The sea breeze crackled the sails of the prayer flag, the conch trombone sounded, Bai Qi took the lead in kneeling down and kowtowing, got up and took the sacrificial wine and sprinkled it on the ground. The sailors, boatmen, merchants, and bosses who had already boarded the ship knelt on the deck and prayed for success and safety this time.

"Anchor!" "Hey, hey!" One after another, the shouts and shouts of the merchant ships set off, with the hope of infinite wealth. The waves are flying, the seagulls are chirping, and the two friends are holding hands to enjoy the scenery that many women may not be able to see in their lifetime.
