Chapter 121: Black Water Ditch

Heishuigou is also called "Xiaoyang" by Fujian people, in fact, it is an ocean current, if the course is northeast and southwest, the risk is not so high.

Therefore, it is easier to travel from Fujian to Ryukyu than to cross from Fujian to Dongfan Island.

There are also elements of traditional Chinese sailing boats, which prefer to use hard sails, but this black water ditch, as well as the characteristics of the strait's terrain that are wide at both ends and narrow in the middle, make it more difficult to cross this strait.

Even from Zhejiang, it is easier to drift to Dongfan Island, the reason is that the wind and water are smooth, even Sun Quan of Dongwu can find Dongfan Island.

If you want to cross, the safer route is to take Penghu, which is equivalent to an elbow-shaped route.

Li Haigou and they took this route, and after they set off, it took them a day and a half to come to Penghu Island.

Due to the wind and waves, and the lack of hyacinths, they had to dock at Longmen Port.

At this time, there were already a large number of immigrants on the Penghu Islands, and it was also an important haven.

After the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban policy became stricter, it would become another smuggling base and another pirate's paradise.

However, on the Penghu Islands at this time, there was no Ming government agency, and the original inspection department had already been abolished.

So the Lehi dogs did not get hindered by the shelter from the wind, but some of them brought fresh water and food.

After spending a little silver, Lehi Dog and the others were allowed to go ashore and rest in several sheds.

The nearby sheds were already full of fishermen who had come to take shelter from the wind, and the thatched huts in the distance were also full of maritime merchants who had come to take shelter from the wind.

What puzzled Li Haigou was that the ten barbarian boys just didn't get off the boat, and it was clear that these ten people were so dizzy that they couldn't even stand on their feet, but they stubbornly held the cable and insisted on staying on the boat.

"Brother dog, our fur is a little wet, don't you want to get it out to dry?" Sitting in the shed, Tian Wu asked while eating jerky.

Li Haigou was also laboriously biting a piece of jerky, and after hearing this, he put down the jerky and said, "No need to dry it, you can't let people know that we have brought so much fur!" This time, we are helping the king sell furs, and we can't sell them here for a price! ”

Tian Wu thought about it, felt reasonable, and said regretfully: "I see that the people here have raised a lot of cattle, and I want to exchange my fur for some cattle to go back!" ”

Li Haigou glanced at Tian Wu like a fool, pointed to a few cows in the distance and said, "Look at our small boat, how many cows can it hold?" If you look at this group of people again, do they seem to be able to use their fur? ”

Tian Wu glanced at it and found that these people were all wearing Xia Bu clothes, and immediately reacted.

"And these people don't have much money at first glance!" Lehi said again.

Tian Wu smiled innocently: "It's still Brother Dog's thoughtfulness!" ”

Lehi took a bite of the jerky and pointed, "You! You have to be a little more sophisticated, you can't be frizzy and frizzy, although the people here have raised a lot of cattle, but we are not only here for cattle this time, we have to go to Fujian! ”

Tian Wu nodded, he looked at the paddy fields in the distance and the cattle scattered all over the place, and suddenly felt that finding an island to reclaim some fields was the best way out for Tando.

When they had eaten their fill, they lay down in the shed and rested with their eyes closed.

The sea was changing rapidly, and within a quarter of an hour of them lying down, the hyacinth came.

As an old fur dog, Lehi knew that the time had come with a deep breath, and he immediately woke up the others and planned to leave quickly.

It's just that before they got on the boat, the trestle in front of them was blocked, and I saw a group of people wearing silk coming out of the thatched hut, and they walked unhurriedly to the trestle.

Li Haigou glared at these people dissatisfied, spat and said, "What's it, I'll wait for Lao Tzu to get on the boat later, and see if you can win Lao Tzu!" ”

Tian Wu smiled on the side, envious of these people's big ships.

After waiting for a while, all of them finally boarded their big ship and began to shout and raise the sails one by one.

Lehi Dog seized the opportunity and ran out first, and when everyone was on board, he beckoned to raise the sails, and then ordered the others to begin rowing.

With his trumpet, the boat moved away from the harbor at an extremely rhythmic pace, and when it reached the windward side, the Lehi Dog took control of the bow himself.

Wow - the boat nimbly made a silky arc, and sailed directly out of the middle of the big boats.

The big ship was even more clumsy, and it was possible to play such a smooth operation there, and could only watch the Lehi Dog laugh and float past them.

Lehi laughed and said, "See! When Grandpa ran to the sea, you were still in your mother's womb! ”

He scolded and enjoyed the victory, especially the big ship behind him, and the one that seemed to be fighting to speed up, but unfortunately they could only see the shadow of the small boat soon.

Tian Wu's emotions were also driven by Li Haigou, and he also scolded a few words contemptuously, and then poured urine on the stern of the boat.

Everyone was delighted, and even the ten young men of Monabu staggered to their feet, smiling and cheering with them.

The sea breeze also became extremely sharp at this time, and the waves in the black water ditch made the boat constantly tumble up and down.

Lehi Dog stood firmly on the deck, using his superb steering skills to keep the boat riding through the waves.

By the time the wind had become soft and comfortable, and the sea had calmed down, the black ditch had passed.

Li Haigou was covered in sweat, and he let Tian Wulai take the helm, while he lay on the deck, sniffing the warm sea breeze and looking at the blue sky and white clouds.

Quack Quack – A row of seagulls soar towards the boat, making a graceful hovering motion in the sky.

Lehi looked at it with a smile, and the pent-up depression in his heart seemed to have dissipated in the blue sky and white clouds.

He remembered what his mother had said to him: "Sea Dog, your father ran away from the sea, and named you Dog, because the name is cheap and easy to feed, and you have to rely on the sea to eat!"

So you are a fur seal, some people say that the road in the sea is the narrowest, but your father said that the sea is boundless and there is no cover, so the road on the sea is the widest! ”

Li Haigou didn't know what the old lady meant by saying this, but at this moment he felt that the road on the sea was the widest road he could take! It is also the only way God gave him!

He was born as a Tanto, and when he was young, his mother taught him that Tando women could marry ashore, but Tando men could not marry shore girls.

He also told him a rule, that is, after encountering a person on the shore who fell into the water, he must wait until the drowning person sinks and floats before he can rescue him.

The young Lehi dog did not know why he was so particular until later, and it was not until later that the people on the shore did not like to have contact with Tanto, and thought that Tando was unlucky!

Thinking of this, Li Haigou sighed and said, "Tian Wu, after we arrive in Zhangzhou, let's take a look by the way, if the Tanhu over there is willing to go to Dongfan Island with us!" ”

Tian Wu glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid they won't believe in such a good thing!" ”

"Anyway, take one or two with you! Even if there is money to buy, let's buy one or two people to go back, he has seen it, and next time he will come back and persuade those people! ”
