"Hey.. Uncle, Xingzi is hungry. ”

Just when Chai Nan's thoughts kept drifting into the distance, Xingzi opened his big eyes, and his childish face still carried the tiredness of just waking up.

"Ahh You're awake.. I'll get you something to eat! ”

The sail was re-fastened to the mast, and Chai Nan got up and took out two sea fish that had just been caught in the morning from the wooden warehouse at the stern of the boat, and used the charcoal stove to make a sea barbecue.

After a while, the fragrance was delivered.

Xingzi, who was not far away, ran over barefoot and said to Chai Nan: "Uncle.. What kind of fish is this, Xingzi has never seen it before... And it smells so good! ”

"It's just the most common sea fish, it's very common in the sea... Hasn't Xingzi eaten it? ”

"No! As a child, Xingzi seems to have been stuck with a fish bone once, and no one has allowed Xingzi to eat fish since! Tears already flashed in the eyes of the poor Xingzi.

Chai Nan shook his head, sprinkled the freshly grilled sea fish with some spices he had brought with him, and handed it to Xingzi, saying, "Xingzi, eat it!" It won't be long before Uncle will be able to take you to a country where you can eat a lot of food! ”

"Huh!? Xingzi likes food, is it the Ming Kingdom? ”

Chai Nan was a little surprised, looked at Xingzi who was still holding a sea fish in his hand and said, "Xingzi knows Daming? That's my country.. I'm Akito! ”

"Of course Xingzi knows that the Ming Dynasty is the suzerainty of the Wa Kingdom, no matter when... Xingzi can't be disrespectful to Da Ming! ”

"Haha! Eat it, the Wa Kingdom is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, of course you can't be disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty! ”

After speaking, Chai Nan also touched Xingzi's hair with his palm, and then looked at the sea level in the distance, after all, he had been sailing at sea for such a long time.

Fresh water on the ship is still somewhat scarce, but fortunately, Xingzi is relatively easy to feed.

Due to some seasickness, most of the rest of the day is spent in sleep, except for meal time, that is, occupying the cabin. Let Chai Nan sleep on the deck for a long time.

Another few days passed.

Chai Nan faced the rising sun at sea level, slowly opened his eyes, and unconsciously took out the knife he carried with him and carved a mark on the side of the boat.

This represents how long he has been at sea.

"Ahh It's a new day... I don't know how far away it is from Daming! ”

Just when Chai Nan stretched his waist, he saw a large number of ships appear on the sea not far away, and Chai Nan was a little stunned for a while!

"Ships! Merchant vessel?! As long as there are merchant ships, it means that I am not far from the land, and so many merchant ships mean that there must be a port nearby! ”

didn't have time to think about it, Chai Nan hurriedly got up and adjusted the sails on the mast on the deck.

Striving to be able to return to Daming as soon as possible is the deepest obsession in his heart at the moment, after all, who can resist the fact that there is a little girl on his ship... And this little girl is still such an exciting thing for Emperor Akimasa of Wakoku, who has just succeeded to the throne?

For so long, he was next after.

If you lose it, you can't throw it away, and it's impossible to return it to the Tokugawa shogunate.

Originally, he went to the Wa Kingdom to find a way to make trouble for Tokugawa Iemitsu, how could he let the little emperor of the Wa Kingdom who fell into his hands return to the Tokugawa shogunate.

"Hey! Can you see that? I'm an official of the Ming Dynasty, can I be given a ride? On the sea, Chai Nan waved his hands at a Dutch merchant ship that was getting closer and closer to him.

Although it won't be long before he can reach the land and reach the docks of Daming.

But the crux of the matter is that the fresh water on the ship has reached a precarious level, and the chapped lips have already indicated that Chai Nan has not drunk water for a long time...

The sound is very small, especially on the huge sea.

But this lonely boat on the sea still attracted the attention of the sailor on the Dutch merchant ship not far away, who said to a sailor next to him: "Hey! Brian, come and have a look! Someone seems to be waving at us on that small boat not far away..."

"You don't have to say... I saw it too! They seem to be in trouble somehow..."

As soon as the two finished speaking, after glancing at each other, they decisively walked off the lookout, and scrambled to say, "No! That person was the first person I saw, and I'm going to go to the captain to report the news! ”

"Oh! Brian, you're so shameless! I found out first, and you didn't see the boat until I told you, didn't you? How can it be counted as a discovery by you? ”

"No, no, no.. At sea, whoever is in his own hands first will be his! ”

The two of them rushed to report to the captain first, after all, there is a rule at sea, that is, if the big ship encounters a small boat that takes the initiative to greet them.

Then they generally think that the other party is in trouble..

The Dutch sailors who had crossed the ocean were happy to help these boats. Not because they are kind, but because according to the rules of the Dutch.

Those who are rescued by them need to be paid a large amount of money.

The money is usually distributed among all the people on board, but only the first person to find out about the other party gets the same share as the captain...

Of course, if you can't afford to pay.

Hey.. Human trafficking is also a way of making money that the Dutch are actively expanding.

They'll sell you anywhere you've never been before, maybe a miner... Maybe it's a slave on the plantation, or something...

Oh! Who cares about that?

All they care about is shiny silver coins.

"Captain .. Captain! Guess what good stuff I found, I found a little guy who was greeting us! The flushed face and beard almost filled the captain's eyeballs.

Pushing the lookout away in front of him, the Dutch captain said angrily, "No matter what we encountered, it's not the reason why you rubbed your hair on my face!" ”

"But. I'm a little interested in what you said, so I'll forgive you this time! ”

...

At sea, a Dutch merchant ship adjusted its sails.

After lowering the speed of the boat, he slowly approached Chai Nan, and a thick hemp rope was thrown down from the big boat on the sea, and Chai Nan was overjoyed when he saw this!

He had no choice.

Then he tied up the brocade guard waist card that represented his identity, and then hugged Xingzi in the cabin.

He climbed onto the deck of the Dutchman's merchant ship.
