Chapter 132: General Ma
With a "snap", Xiao Dongshan was slapped in the face. This slap was quite powerful, making Xiao Dongshan dizzy, leaving red handprints on his cheeks.
Yang Yang hit Xiao Dongshan, he was stunned, and said, "You! You! You...... Ay! Xiao Dongshan came to his senses, was ashamed, and said, "It's my fault!" Sorry! ”
Yang Yang saw the handprint on his face, his heart softened again, and he said softly: "Are you okay?" Xiao Dongshan said: "It's okay, I suddenly realized a truth." Yang Yang was afraid that he would say something crazy and didn't dare to answer his words, so Xiao Dongshan had to say by himself: "No wonder the best martial arts are only practiced by monks, Taoist priests, and eunuchs, so they can all be more attentive than me." ”
After he finished speaking, he saw that Yang Yang did not respond, so he didn't dare to say more. After a while, I felt that Yang Yang was different, and I followed her gaze and saw a black dot on the sea in the distance, and a ship came up!
After Yang Yang turned to a boulder, he hid and looked at it for a long time, and said, "This ship is coming for us." Xiao Dongshan was full of joy and ran to the shore and shouted: "Hey, we are here!" Come and save us! Yang Yang said: "Don't scream, you can't hear it, and I don't know if it's friend or foe, let's hide and take a look." Xiao Dongshan said: "I know they can't hear it, I just feel happy in my heart, and I can't help but want to scream." Yang Yang smiled.
The two hid behind boulders and watched as the ship grew larger. The two approached again, Xiao Dongshan took a deep look and said, "Sister Yang, I was rude and rude just now!" Yang Yang patted his shoulder and said, "Dongshan, don't mention this matter again." ”
After a while, the flag on the bow of the ship could be seen clearly, and Xiao Dongshan said happily: "It's the Sun and Moon Flag, it's your godfather's fleet, right?" Yang Yang said: "Don't be careless, these days, there have been a lot of impostors, and I have also hung the flag of pirates!" ”
When the ship came to shore and dropped anchor, look at the ship again, it's so big! It is about 30 zhang long and more than 10 zhang wide! Xiao Dongshan couldn't help but secretly admire. After a while, a group of sergeants disembarked and began to carry goods to the island. The first person had a ruddy complexion and a radiant look, dressed as a general.
Yang Yang pulled Xiao Dongshan and walked out. The general was taken aback when he saw the two men, and the sergeants stopped, pressed their hands on the handles of their weapons, and moved neatly and neatly, showing that they were well trained. Yang Yang got a little closer, and the general saw her face clearly, clasped his fists and saluted: "It turned out to be Miss Yang, why are you here?" Yang Yang said: "General Ma, I haven't seen you for several years, you are still so heroic!" What about my father-in-law? General Ma laughed and said, "Thank you Miss Yang for the compliment!" Lord Zheng took the fleet back to China first, and ordered the little one to come here in exchange for reserves, but he didn't expect to meet Miss Yang. Yang Yang said: "It turns out that everyone is back, how is he an old man?" General Ma said: "Lord Zheng is very good, but he often thinks of Miss." Yang Yang smiled slightly.
General Ma said: "Lord Zheng is leading the fleet, in front of us, there are three days away, and we can't catch up." Yang Yang said: "It's okay, you have to return to China after finishing your work, right?" General Ma said: "Not bad! Leave as soon as you're done. Yang Yang said: "That's very good, I'll take your boat back by the way." General Ma said: "Even if you don't go by the way, we will also send you back." Yang Yang said: "You can really speak." ”
Everyone walked towards the tile house while talking, and Yang Yang explained: "My ship had an accident at sea and drifted here, and it has been more than a year. General Ma said: "Miss Yang is her own person, what kind words do you say." Lord Zheng is a bodhisattva, and he has set up a station here, firstly, for his own use, and secondly, to save the people who have been shipwrecked and drifted here. On this sea, no one can say what will happen, this island is like an unsinkable giant ship, if not used, it will be a tyrannical thing! ”
When they arrived at the tile house, Yang Yang asked General Ma to stay in the hall for a while, she and Xiao Dongshan went back to each room to change their original clothes, and when they came out to see again, the sergeants were changing the grain in the cellar, it turned out that they were afraid that the grain in the cellar would rot, and they would come to exchange fresh food when the voyage passed.
Yang Yang said to General Ma again: "General Ma, is the gunpowder you buried here still useful?" General Ma was slightly surprised, and said, "You know all the gunpowder here?" Yang Yang said: "My father-in-law told me." General Ma said: "It's all discarded things, which I buried with my own hands, and we don't need them anymore." Yang Yang said: "I built a yard in Hangzhou Yishan, and I need some gunpowder to blow up the road, can you help me bring some back?" General Ma said: "What's so difficult about this! Yuan Jiu! The captain replied, "Yes!" General Ma instructed: "You know the place, you take someone to take out all the gunpowder buried in the ground, transport it to the ship and put it away, and we will bring it back!" As he spoke, he handed the squad leader an iron sunflower, and the squad leader took it and said, "Order!" "Sure enough, I took someone to carry it.
At this time, another sergeant brought ingredients from the ship, buried a cauldron in front of the tiled house, and made a marching meal. After everyone finished eating, it was past noon, and then they returned to the ship and set sail north.
When he arrived on the boat, General Ma arranged a separate room for Yang Yang, Xiao Dongshan didn't dare to be alone with Yang Yang anymore, and chatted among several team leaders.
When the ship sailed away from the island for more than half an hour, General Ma suddenly took out a horn and blew it. I saw the sergeants grinning as they brought out sixteen tables from under the cabin and arranged them in two on the deck. They took out sixteen more large boxes, one on each table. On the nearest table, General Ma poured out more than a hundred small bamboo pieces from the box and said, "Today is to get Wanhefeng's table." A sergeant shouted, "General Ma, are you playing today?" I don't want to be at the same table with you! Everyone burst into laughter, and General Ma said, "I'll accompany the guests today, and I'll talk about it later!" ”
The sergeants came over, and some stepped forward to take a small bamboo block on the table, and those who didn't get the small bamboo block were not in a hurry, and looked at it with a smile.
General Ma pointed to the table and shouted, "Ten thousand! The four sergeants came out, and the small bamboo blocks they held in their hands were all engraved with the word "10,000", and the four of them sat at a table. General Ma shouted in turn, "Twenty thousand! "Thirty thousand!" "Forty thousand!" "Fifty thousand!" "Sixty thousand!" "Seventy thousand!" Eighty thousand! "Ninety thousand!" "Dongfeng!" "South Wind!" "Zephyr!" "North Wind!" "Red in the middle!" "Get rich!" "Whiteboard!"
The one who took the small bamboo block he shouted at sat down at the corresponding table. Soon, the sergeants sat down at a table of four in an orderly manner, a total of sixteen tables, General Ma received the small bamboo pieces they touched in their hands to the first table, and everyone poured out the small bamboo pieces in the big box on the original table and played. Those who didn't serve the table scattered behind them to watch.
Xiao Dongshan felt very curious and asked General Ma, "What kind of gameplay is this?" General Ma explained: "Just because the sailing schedule is far away, and there is only the vast sea in sight, the soldiers can't help but get tired, everyone misses their hometown, people are uneasy, and there are even bad intentions." Master Zheng used solitaire, tooth cards, and pai gow as the foundation to create this kind of gameplay, so that the resting sergeant played boring time. With the fleet formation, carved one to nine 'strips', and with the number of fresh water barrels on the ship, respectively, carved one to nine 'buckets', and then carved one to ninety thousand 'thousand' with the money that everyone likes, and then according to the wind direction, carved the 'east, west, north and south' four wind directions, and with the slogan of "Great China Yao Soldier Exotic", engraved the red "medium", and then engraved the 'fortune' that everyone wants, and finally there is a card that I don't know what to engrave, so I simply let it be bare, this is the 'white board'. ”
Xiao Dongshan calculated and said: "Then there are one hundred and thirty-six cards in this deck, what is the name of this kind of play?" General Ma laughed and said: "I play this game the best, even Lord Zheng has lost to me many times, Lord Zheng calls this way of playing 'General Ma card', hahahaha!" ”
Xiao Dongshan was very interested, and after watching the sergeant playing cards for a long time, he finally understood how to "eat", how to "touch", and how to "Hu". The next day, he begged for chips with General Ma, played at the table for a long time, and was lucky to win General Ma.
In the next few days, Yang Yang also occasionally stood behind him to take a look. Xiao Dongshan only felt that Yang Yang stood behind him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. How do you know that your luck is getting worse and worse, and you have lost all the previous wins, General Ma wants to give you chips again, but Xiao Dongshan doesn't want it, and said: "Don't do it, don't do it, this thing is too easy to fascination, don't do it, don't do it, it's over." ”
After sailing like this for more than ten days, they came to Hangzhou Bay. After General Ma sent the two of them off the ship, he moved down dozens of barrels of gunpowder and put them on the dock, and sent a few sergeants to guard them, just waiting for Yang Yang to send someone to pick them up. He himself led the team to continue the voyage and went to the port of Taicang.
