Chapter 238: Saving People
Only then did I notice that his voice was as sharp as a woman's, and I was stunned, could it be that he was a eunuch? The eyes quickly swept his chin unconsciously, and there was no beard, really. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The eunuchs of the Ming Kingdom are more powerful than the other, and the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Jinyi Wei are quite famous, but they are not a good reputation, and they can also be said to be full of evil, which makes people smell and change, and they are not likable.
There are often folk children who are naughty, and adults will say: "If you are disobedient, you will be asked to arrest you by Jinyiwei." "Children will be so scared that they won't dare to come out.
Therefore, when I saw that this person was a eunuch, I didn't have a good impression of him in my heart, but when I thought that a eunuch could be such a big official, he must not be an idle person. I couldn't help but be curious, so I naturally looked at him a few more times. He didn't shy away from it, staring at me and letting me look at me.
I watched it for a long time before I remembered that I hadn't answered his question. It's just that, how did he know that I was a citizen of the Ming Dynasty?
I looked at my body, and my clothes were already in tatters, barely covering my body; The head is still bald, because the hair that grew was shaved off by myself with kun. I touched my chin, and it was bare.
For some reason, I had never grown a beard, and during my time on the island, I had been exposed to the wind and sun all day, but I could see from the reflection in the water that my appearance had not changed at all, no wrinkles, no tan, and I still looked like the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy I used to be.
"You are bold, and we are making your lord speak to you. You ......"
Seeing that I didn't reply, a fat man with a beard and a short figure next to me was a little anxious, and he reached out to grab me, but was blocked by the man's outstretched arm.
Do you make an adult? I glanced at the banner with the word "Zheng" written on it, and then at the person in front of me, could it be that he was the commander of the fleet?
I had doubts in my heart, so I just looked at him without saying anything.
At this time, the three who went to explore the path came back, clasped their fists and bowed, and said: "Report to my father-in-law, this is a deserted island, there is no vegetation on the island except some seabirds, and there is a small lake at the bottom of the crater at the top of the island, which should be a freshwater lake, but it is too steep and too deep for us to go down." ”
Sure enough, it's a eunuch, but he said that he was a righteous envoy, and it seems that this person's background is not shallow.
I was thinking about this father-in-law in my heart, and he was obviously thinking about me. His eyes quickly turned to me after listening to the report, and he punched me back and forth a few times.
I understood what he was thinking, and he must have wondered, how did I survive on such a desolate island? Looking at my tattered clothes, it is not difficult for anyone to guess that my life here has not been short.
Gonggong Zheng was definitely a wise man, and he did not despise me because I was dressed in tatters, as others do, but said to me very humbly: "Excuse me, little brother, is there any way you can go down to the bottom of the mountain?" We had some trouble last night, we lost some fresh water and needed supplies. ”
Way? It's easy to drink water alone, so I'll just get some from the bottom to the bottom, but how can I get so many ships to replenish? Make a large container, fill it with water, and drag it with a rope?
I hesitated and shook my head.
The bearded man next to him said impatiently: "Father-in-law, what can he do as a dumb person?" In my opinion, it is better to put the barrel with a rope and lift the water up like well water, although it is slower, but it is better than nothing, you say? ”
Gonggong Zheng's eyes were complicated, he glanced at me meaningfully, and nodded, "Okay, then try it according to what you said, and you can arrange it." ”
I flattened my expression and let his eyes open to him not to see any joy or sorrow in my face.
"Ma Huan, you wait for me, I'll go with you to have a look."
As he spoke, he glanced at me again, and then caught up with the bearded man and went with him to the top of the mountain.
It turned out that the bearded man was called Ma Huan, such a rude and unreasonable guy.
Looking at their backs, I wondered what I was going to do.
I think that Gonggong Zheng will definitely have three questions in his heart: first, the vast sea, far from the mainland, how did I get to this island; second, how did I survive on such a desolate island; The third is that there is only drinking water at the bottom of the mountain, and I can survive here, obviously I can go down and drink the water, but his soldiers say that the mountain is too steep to go down, so how do I do it?
I pretend to be deaf and dumb to save myself the trouble of explaining, but do I have to show my skills to help them?
There are more and more people on the island, which can be described as a sea of people, full of people, at least tens of thousands. They got orders and were all busy in an orderly manner.
I watched it all silently as a bystander.
To say, Ma Huan's work efficiency is quite high, and soon I saw a long queue organized from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain. I don't know where they got the long rope, and they threw it down with a large bucket tied to the end.
It's a pity that I don't have an accurate head, so I always knock on the stone wall, and the flowers will scatter in a few clicks. Don't throw it down, go down the rock wall, the bucket either can't reach the water or floats on the water, and it can't hit the water, so anxious that Ma Huan scolded his mother.
Later, Ma Huan pushed the person to the side, tied the rope around his waist, and was dragged down a little bit. Not to mention, it really succeeded to the end, and the people above were boiling and cheering.
But before the cheers were over, something went wrong. The inside of this crater is like the bottom of a pot for cooking, the slope is very large, there is no rope to tie it, and the person who goes down to the bottom cannot stand at all, and they don't seem to have any extra rope, so after they have studied it, they can only try to untie the rope below, and then use the rope to tie themselves to the bucket.
The stone wall below is very slippery, this Ma Huan's courage is really big, or it may be that the ignorant person is fearless, I saw him carefully untie the rope with his back to the rock wall, half-squatting and slowly letting go, but the next moment he couldn't stand still, shaking his arms and planting into the water.
Everyone above was in a hurry, and I saw that Gonggong Zheng's face turned white, and he shouted hoarsely at the mountain pass: "Hurry up and grab the rope!" Grab the rope!"
It's easy to say, how can it be so good to catch?
I saw Ma Huan fluttering desperately below, trying to catch the rope head, but the rope head was attached to the rock wall, and he finally got closer and slid down the steep slope at the bottom of the lake.
After repeating it a few times, the physical exertion was very great, and I saw that his movements slowed down.
It's not good, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'm going to die.
Saving lives matters.
I didn't think much about it, so I climbed down the rock wall like a gecko, jumped into the water, caught him by the waist, and climbed up the pass with only two feet and one hand, and laid him down.
Ma Huan collapsed on the ground, facing up on his back, frightened, his face pale, panting heavily.
