At this time, Helen, who was standing behind Huo Shan, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, the eyes of those people just now looked at her like looking at some novel animal, which really made her uncomfortable.
"Actually, don't bother the captain, we're not hungry yet!" Huo Shan said politely.
In order to leave the cage-like desert island, Huo Shan prepared a lot of fresh water and food before setting off, although he was looking for a way out in the maze of reefs, the process was very depressed, anxious, and urgent, and his heart was full of negative emotions, but he didn't starve himself.
"Eh, little brother, you're welcome! everyone is of the same race and species, and it is also appropriate to help each other outside!"
Hearing this, Huo Shan smiled and nodded. I feel that the owner of this ship is also a simple person.
"I don't know the little brother's surname, can I tell me?"
"Hehe, you are too polite, your surname is Huo, and your single name is a mountain character!
"Huoshan?good name, atmospheric...... Under the surname Jia, he is the third in the family, because he has never read any books since he was a child, and his family background is not good, so he didn't have a serious name before, and familiar people call me Jia San, if the little brother doesn't dislike it, just call me Jia San!"
Floating on the sea all year round, Jia San's knowledge is much broader than that of ordinary croppers. Although the young man in front of him looked very down, the calm and introverted temperament on his body was not something that ordinary young masters could have. Therefore, between the words, Jia San seemed very polite.
Of course, there is also the saber tied to Huo Shan's leg, which also exerts a great deterrent.
"Boss Jia is so polite!" Huo Shan said with a smile.
The middle-aged man surnamed Jia in front of him is at least one round older than him. In addition, people can be regarded as life-saving to him, so it would be too disrespectful to call them by their names.
After listening to Huo Shan's words, Jia San smiled and didn't dwell on this issue anymore.
Instead, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the corner of Huo Shan's clothes and the girl standing behind him. He asked, "I don't know if this girl is ......?"
"Oh. This is the one in the lower one!"
Hearing this, Jia San couldn't help but have a hint of surprise on his face.
Although as early as the Han and Tang Dynasties. Blonde Westerners have long been known in China. And now, especially in the Nanyang region, it is very easy to see, and it can be said that Westerners have long lost their former rarity in the eyes of Orientals.
But because of the differences in culture and appearance. But few Easterners will take Western daughters-in-law.
Even in modern times, China has weakened.
However, despite the surprise in his heart, Jia San did not say it on the spot.
"Boss, here is the food!" At this moment, the young man named Mao Liu had already come over from the cabin with some food on a tray.
When he got closer, Huo Shan had already seen clearly. In addition to a few pieces of cured meat, there are two bowls of rice, which are covered with two small rape with yellowed leaves, and next to them are a large glass of water and two pairs of chopsticks.
It's really rudimentary. But in this era when there were no refrigerators, this was what the sailors adrift at sea ate. Although these two rapes do not sell well, the most precious thing on the ship is the vegetables, and it is not easy for people to take this out for themselves to eat now.
"Little Brother Huo, there is nothing to eat on the ship, so you can just take a break!" Jia San said with a smile.
"Boss Jia is so polite, I can eat these on the boat, which shows Boss Jia's hospitality to us, thank you!"
After listening to his words, Jia San couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face, and couldn't help but feel good for the young man who didn't look very old in front of him, but his words were polite and his temperament was calm.
"Hehe, little brother Huo doesn't have to be polite!"
Hearing this, Huo Shan smiled and said, "Then I'm not welcome!"
To be honest, he ate grilled fish on that isolated island for three months, although he occasionally dug up some bamboo shoots and roasted them, and ate a little coconut in the middle. But in three months, he was already tired of this. Now seeing the white rice and vegetables, Huo Shan's stomach is really a little hungry!
Of course, Helen felt the same way as him.
However, she doesn't know how to use chopsticks, although she wants to eat, but there are people watching next to her, and she can't directly grasp it with her hands, and in the end she can only look at Huo Shan dryly, the meaning of which is self-evident.
Seeing this, Huo Shan couldn't help but smile, and after taking the meal from Mao Liu's hands, he sat directly on the deck at the bow of the ship, and then picked up chopsticks to demonstrate to Helen.
Of course, it's not that she can really pick up the dishes by herself, but it's not too difficult to pick up the bowl and pick up the rice in her mouth.
"Boss Jia, I want to ask you something?" After eating two bites of food, Huo Shan put down the dishes and chopsticks, turned his head and asked.
"What's the matter, you say?" said Jia San, who was also sitting down on the deck.
After nodding, Huo Shan asked the question he was most eager to know now, "Boss Jia, where are we now?"
Afraid that Jia San wouldn't understand, Huo Shan added: "What I want to ask is which country is this?
"Oh, you ask this?"
After Jia San smiled, he immediately said with a look of pride on his face: "There is no country here, only the powerful Chinese People's Army, and after half a day's walk south from here, you will reach Yapu County, Yingzhou Province, which is subordinate to the People's Army." ā
"Yingzhou Province, Yapu County?"
After repeating it, Huo Shan's face showed a hint of deep thought.
At the beginning, Huo Jiajun's administrative division was planned by him personally, and he knew very well that Yingzhou Province was referring to the original Micronesia Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands, but at the county level, he was not clear.
"I didn't expect me to end up here, no wonder no one found me before!"
Huo Shan remembered that the place where the cruise ship he was on was wrecked in the South China Sea, but now it was blown away in a storm near the Caroline Islands in the Pacific Ocean, and the whole thing was more than 1,000 nautical miles. The gap is also a little too big.
Just when Huo Shan sighed in his heart, Jia San said with pride on his face, but there was a trace of contempt in his eyes: "Yes, Yingzhou Province, Yapu County! These places were occupied by the Spaniards in the past, but they were later robbed by the People's Army. At that time, those foreign devils didn't even dare to fart. ā
After listening to his words, Huo Shan secretly shook his head in his heart. Only he knew this in his heart.
After the secret invasion of the Micronesian Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands by the Huo Jiajun was exposed, the Spaniards occupying Luzon also came to the door, but at that time, the Huojia army had already defeated the powerful combined Dutch and Portuguese fleets in the Battle of Ngano Island, and also achieved a brilliant victory on land, and finally became the new overlord of the South Sea Islands.
And the Huo family's army, which was in full swing at that time, made the Spaniards, who had already declined and the mainland was thousands of miles away, dare not provoke at all, plus they didn't like these small islands as big as their noses and had no economic benefits, and in order to keep the rich Luzon and avoid the peep of the Huo family's army, they only sold these islands to the Huo family army for 50,000 taels of silver.
In addition, Huoshan, who defeated the Netherlands and Portugal at that time and was building the islands in the South Seas, was unwilling to start a war lightly, so he agreed to the deal at that time.
Anyway, the declining Spain is a real soft persimmon, plus Luzon is on the edge of Huo's military territory, for the piece of meat in his mouth, he can eat it whenever he wants.
Therefore, the Huo family army, which swallowed most of the entire South Seas in one bite, did not move the Spaniards in Luzon again.
"Boss Jia, I'm a northerner, and I'm not very familiar with the Chinese People's Army in Nanyang, can you tell me more specifically?" Huo Shan asked with a smile.
He wanted to know from the side what the regime he had established was in the eyes of ordinary people.
When I immigrated to Nanyang, it was when our Chinese People's Army had just defeated the Dutch and the Portuguese. To be honest, I ...... at that time!" After listening to Jia San's endless talk for two or three hours, he stopped unsatisfied.
"Some time ago, I heard that we had defeated the Americans in the Americas and captured a piece of land much larger than the whole of the South Seas. So, I want to work for a while, and then sell this ship and replace it with a bigger one, which will be used to transport from the Americas to the South Seas! ā
Speaking of this, Jia San glanced at Huo Shan, and said with a hint of earnestness on his face: "Brother Huo, I see that you are not an ordinary person, or you will follow my brother and me to run to the sea together, and after three years, I will let you earn two or three hundred silver dollars, fight for a rich family, and then return to your hometown." ā
Because, after living independently on an isolated island for more than three months, coupled with the strong physique created by perennial martial arts practice, Huo Shan's body is bronzed at this moment, and at first glance he is a strong and strong hand, and it is just right to run to the sea.
After hearing his words, Huo Shan couldn't help but smile and shook his head, rejecting Jia San's kindness.
"Run to the sea!" Even if he was willing, the high-ranking members of the Huo family army were not willing!
Next, after Huo Shan and Helen finished eating, after chatting with Jia San for a while, they found a cabin for Helen, who was already a little tired, to rest first.
After all, after a week of following Huo Shan in the reef group, she didn't have much rest in between, although her physique was not weak, but after such a long time, Helen was already very tired, both physically and mentally.
So after settling down on the boat and eating, he immediately fell asleep in Huo Shan's arms.
"Brother Huo, the boats are all big and coarse, very simple, and my captain's room is better, you and your younger siblings will do it first!" Jia San opened the door, and then walked in and cleaned up the inside, and said with a smile.
