The boat in the ocean sailed from the southernmost tip of Penghu Island to the east.

The red sun has completely jumped out of the sea, and the golden rays are emanated, as if it can shine on the darkest corners of the heart, evoking people's love for the beauty of the world.

As a result, these subjects, who seemed powerful in front of their kind, but incomparably small in heaven and earth, were stimulated by the light to have a strong desire to survive.

】

"I'll take the helm," Yan Siqi threw a sentence to everyone, "There is a deer ear canal in the southwest of Taiwan Island that can enter the boat, but there are many reefs. ”

Liu Gonggong Shi Shiran touched his neck to restore safety, glanced at Yan Siqi's back that was calmly exposed to Ma Xianglin, and loudly ordered his helmsman: "Give the rudder to Yan Zhuangshi." ”

Yan Siqi's two brothers who were ordered to search the ship also poked their heads out of the middle cabin and reported: "Big brother, the keel piling of this ship can be used, and it can last for about half an hour. ”

Ma Xianglin put away his blade and asked Zheng Haizhu beside him in a low voice: "What is that?" ”

Zheng Haizhu said: "It is used to pump water on the ship." ”

Ma Xianglin let out an "oh" and glanced at the Muramasa knife in her hand that had been sheathed.

At the end of the ship battle, Ma Xianglin saw the power of this knife in Yan Siqi's hands, and then saw it return to the hands of the hostess who did not know martial arts.

"I'll go down and help." Ma Xianglin said.

As the temperature of the sun gradually rose, Grandpa Liu sat down against the stake of the cable, closed his eyes, and took a nap.

It's like an old cat who has been quiet for years.

Zheng Haizhu leaned on the truss of the ship, quietly watching Yan Siqi support the rudder, watching Zheng Zhilong cooperate with him to control the bamboo sail, and vaguely heard the noise of people driving piles and pumping water from the bilge.

She was about to lean over to see if there was any water spurting out of the hole in the ship's body, but Gonggong Liu said in a quiet voice: "Girl, aren't you curious, how did General Ma and I get a new ship so far away from Moon Harbor?" ”

"Curious, but afraid to ask. Ah Zhu only has the share of returning to her father-in-law's words. ”

"Hehe," Liu Shimin smiled gently, "I don't have anything to ask you, for Yan Zhuangshi, our family already knows his deeds." You fellow, not bad. ”

Zheng Haizhu nodded: "He is very good, and he has done a lot of business, but unfortunately after this battle, he can't go back to Pinghu." ”

On the deck, the surviving Tusi soldiers and Jinyi guards moved the corpses, including Cai Feng, to a cool place, and then fell asleep.

The silence in the sea breeze lasted for half an hour, and Zheng Zhilong, who was on the mast, suddenly shouted: "Big brother, there is a ship over there that has capsized, and only the bow and foremast are left." ”

Yan Siqi heard this and raised his binoculars.

"It's it, it's supposed to hit the rocks."

Yan Siqi muttered.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I drove into the Luer Waterway, which has complex terrain and dangerous reefs, I saw my inexplicably missing sealed cargo ship.

Yan Siqi's face was calm, he handed the telescope to Zheng Zhilong, and admonished, Zheng Zhilong climbed the mast again, raised the mirror to visit for a long time, and then shook his hand to Yan Siqi, indicating that he had not seen the survivors floating on the sea.

In the corner, Li Guozhu, who was taken out of the cloth for begging for water to drink, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Lao Tzu knows, Yan Siqi, he must be your most important third child, and he also wants to stand on his own, so he ran away in the boat, but he didn't expect to fold here." How to drop, not to fish? The tea is finished, and a few pieces of silk can still be scooped up and dried, so I can make a few clothes for your good appearance. Hey, hey, hey. ”

He took a sip of water, moistened his lips, and said to Shi Yanchuan Bing, who was holding the water bladder, with a salivating face: "Little brother, how do you General Ma treat you?" My brother told you, the pirate who drove the boat was too mean to his brothers, this one was not allowed to rob, that one was not allowed to kill, and the brothers were forced to turn against him, you see, you see, woo woo......"

Li Guozhu's words came to an abrupt end, and Ma Xianglin, who came up from the bilge, picked up the rags on the ground and stuffed them back into his mouth.

Ma Xianglin walked behind Yan Siqi, and said in a loud voice: "The keel pump is about to collapse, and your people say that if it lasts for another half an hour at most, the ship will suddenly sink." ”

Yan Siqi was still looking straight ahead, only squinting his eyes: "I can't die, it's almost here." ”

……

The dull thunderous crash sounded several times.

The large wooden boat finally ran aground in the water between the two reefs, and then slowly tilted towards one of the reefs, and finally, the keel exposed on the water was firmly attached to the relatively smooth stone face.

Everyone grabbed the wooden truss on the side of the ship, and when the boat no longer swayed, they removed the wooden bolt of the fence on one side and released the firewood boat to transport people, goods, and corpses.

Liu Shimin couldn't help but secretly praise that Yan Siqi not only has the ability to sail, but also has an extremely calm mind.

When Fang was about to approach the shore, the bilge was already flooded, and everyone thought that the wooden ship would suddenly capsize in the next moment, but Yan Siqi still calmly looked for the best channel, trying to let the ship moor the closest place to the shore, and expose most of the hull, so as not to sink to the bottom and bring danger to the ships that followed.

When you get to the shore, you can see the vast stretch of sandy beach behind the lush woods, and the lake is faintly shiny.

Farther away, the mountains are undulating, the clouds are shrouded in mist, and flocks of birds pass by. Listen intently, with the occasional ape whistling.

Although Yan Siqi did not have a humble attitude towards Liu Shimin, after all, he thought about his oldest and status, and took the initiative to say in a tone of retribution: "Father-in-law, this place is in the southwest of Taiwan Island, and the maritime merchants we come and go call him a big man, but he mostly goes to Bengang in the north of the island to trade and take water. Therefore, Yan only knew that it was closest to the southern end of Penghu Island, but he had never anchored ashore. ”

Liu Shimin asked: "Yan Zhuangshi, how far is it to go to Bengang in the north, if you sail by boat?" ”

"Ordinary bamboo sailing bird boats, if the weather is fine and the wind is favorable, two days is enough, but if you rely on this paddle firewood boat to find someone to rescue, I am afraid that it is better to take the land route faster."

"Oh, how about we set up camp for the night, and then send three or four people to the north together?"

Yan Siqi heard Liu Shimin's politeness, and hurriedly said: "Okay, please wait here with my father-in-law and General Ma, and Yan will take the two brothers to explore the path at the foot of the forest, take water by the way, and come back with some prey." ”

"Then there are strong men."

Zheng Zhilong on the side bowed his back: "Big brother, I'll go with you." ”

Yan Siqi waved his hand: "You take care of Ah Zhu." ”

Zheng Haizhu smiled: "What do I want to take care of, let him go, the calf can kill the tiger, and the official may be able to beat the deer back." ”

Suddenly, he remembered something and reminded: "By the way, Brother Yan, when I was in Haicheng County, I heard that most of the natives of Taiwan Island live in the south. The natives are fierce, so be careful when you go into the mountains. ”

Yan Siqi said "rest assured", and walked towards the forest with Zheng Zhilong and others stepping on the gravel.

Zheng Haizhu turned his head, but saw that Ma Xianglin didn't have time to put away his slightly stunned expression for a while, and his face was slightly strange and embarrassed, and he suddenly realized that General Ma's ancestors were also natives in the Sichuan and Shu areas, and his own words were indeed offended.

She hurriedly stepped forward and sincerely apologized: "I don't mean to be offended, but I do speak inconsiderately, well, rudely." ”

Seeing her like this, Ma Xianglin still had a little bit of diaphragm, the corners of his mouth pursed, and he said with self-deprecation: "It's nothing, if we natives are not fierce and brave, the court will not look down on us, and we will not be entrusted with the important task of quelling chaos and training troops." ”

After a pause, he said softly: "Ah Zhu, you were born in the same year as Ma, and you have suffered many times, so you don't have to be so long and short in the future, just call me Xianglin." ”

After that, Ma Xianglin looked at the figures of Yan Siqi and the others who had disappeared into the forest, and always felt that he should do something, so he paced in front of Liu Shimin: "Father-in-law, this south of Taiwan, it is so hot in the first month, are these corpses going to be disposed of today?" My people, I'll burn them, and then bring the bones back to Sichuan. ”

Liu Shimin thought for a while and said, "My Jinyi Guard, also send it away with fire, and give the bones to their families." After all, Cai Feng was a fourth-rank official, so he first dismantled the planks from the ship, surrounded them, and buried them in the ground. After returning to Fujian to make it clear, the imperial court will always send someone to transport it. ”

The plan was thus decided, and the soldiers and sailors on the beach, the fires that lit the fires, and the shovels of the earth, were busy.

Liu Shimin watched Cai Feng's body being placed on a makeshift board and put it into the earthen pit, and said in his heart that after all, he was eating the imperial court, so he wanted Ma Xianglin to take the wine bag he brought with him and spill the wine into the pit.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, he listened to the sound of swords behind him.

Liu Shimin hurriedly turned around, only to see that in the thick smoke of the cremation, Ma Xianglin and others had already faced the woods and showed their blades.
