With the fruitful results of his visit, the Daming sailor left Kurumus and continued to sail forward.

On this day, a small island appeared in front of the treasure ship, and the white sand beach surrounded the whole island like a ribbon, and the island was full of green grass, flowers, and tall date palms. A beautiful house in the middle of the woods faces the sea, with a huge vaulted roof that glistens in the sun.

"What a beautiful island!" Zheng He was full of praise, "King of the Iron Tower, are you interested in going to the island?" ”

Of course, the tower would not refuse such a good offer, and the two took a dozen sailors to the island in a dinghy.

Ding Erniu jumped and jumped on the beach with his bare feet, like a happy child, and when he saw a small sand dune bulging in front of him, he ran over and dug it up excitedly, and soon dug out a sand crab.

The tower praised: "Okay! Erniu, I can't imagine that you still have this unique skill. ”

"That's nothing." Ding Erniu said with a smile, "I am a child of a fisherman's family, I grew up by the sea, and sometimes I even sleep on the beach, so I must be familiar with these, what clams, sand crabs, clams, I can pick up a lot every day." "His face is full of smiles, as if he has returned to his childhood, carefree, no worries, how happy!" Tower King, what about your childhood? ”

"My childhood?" Faced with Ding Erniu's question, the tower fell into deep thought. Oh, yes! Everyone has a childhood worth remembering, and myself is certainly no exception.

"I was born on the prairie thousands of miles away, and my parents died when I was born. I was lying on the cold ground, surrounded by a pack of ferocious hyenas, perhaps because of my fate, and two good Samaritans rescued me in a critical moment. Since then I have lived in the house of the good Samaritan, who has a calf about the same age as me, and at first he disliked me very much and bullied me a lot, but then our relationship gradually improved, and we became brothers of the opposite sex. One day, my brother made a mistake, and for the sake of my brother's righteousness, I carried the black pot for him, and was severely beaten with 30 boards, and he lay in bed for more than a month. Later, I met the master, who taught me to practice, read, and study medicine...... "This is the first time that Tie Ta confided in others, and when it comes to emotion, his eyes are unconsciously moist.

Ding Erniu couldn't cry when he heard it, "King Tieta, it turns out that your childhood is so miserable!" Sometimes I complain about why my life is so miserable, but now it seems that I am still quite happy, at least I still have my parents to love me, no one beats me and scolds me, and no one wants to kill me. ”

"Erniu, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, we must not succumb to the arrangement of fate, we must work hard, and rely on our own efforts to change our fate." "You are changing your destiny now, have you ever thought about it, if God gave you birth to a rich and noble family, I am sure that you will never join the barracks, how can you experience such a wonderful and exciting sailing life?" Trust me, everything will be fine. ”

"Yes! If my family had money, I wouldn't have been a soldier, maybe now I would be living a landlord life of collecting rents and loans, drinking and watching dramas, and it would really be a trip to the world in vain. Ding Erniu said with emotion.

"Hey! What do you do? This is a private island, no outsiders are allowed to enter, get out! A rough voice interrupted the conversation, and then a tall man came out of the woods, with a thick beard, a fierce eye, and a two-inch-long scar on his right cheek, like an ugly centipede lying on his face, adding a bit of ferocity.

"Whose dog didn't close it properly and let it out to bite people?" The tower said coldly. As the old saying goes, "Those who respect others will also be respected; Those who do not respect others should be treated in the same way as others. "It's not right to enter someone else's territory without permission, but if you have something to say, why bother to be dirty?

The strong man was furious, and he was ridiculed by the other party if he failed to enforce the law, which had never happened before. "Letting dogs bite people, right? Then I'll show you. With his fingers in his mouth and blowing hard, a loud whistle was heard.

"Wow!" With a few dog barks, two big men rushed out of the forest, each holding a tall Tibetan mastiff in his hand, grinning his teeth and menacing, if he hadn't been dragged by someone to hold the dog leash, it is estimated that he would have pounced on him.

"Your Excellency, what do you command?" The two came to the strong man and bent down to ask for instructions.

"Boy, aren't you pretty crossy? Another one for the uncle? The strong man crossed his waist with his left hand, pointed at the tower with his right hand and scolded.

"You can't get angry with a small person, you will only lose your identity." Zheng He stopped the iron tower that was about to go crazy, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother, even if it's a private island, you can't be so fierce!" What does it matter if we play here? You have nothing to lose. ”

"Haha, this time! Hiding behind and not making a sound, but letting someone else stand up for him. I thought he really had a few brushes, but it turned out to be a soft egg too. The strong man thought in his heart, and his tone became even more arrogant, "Originally, as long as you left, I wouldn't be held accountable, but now it doesn't work, that kid must apologize to me." ”

Tie Ta glanced at Zheng He, "Are you still a good person?" It doesn't work to throw bones against jackals, you can only use a hammer. ”

"It's my fault, you can do it." Zheng He smiled wryly, and hurriedly stepped aside, it was rare for him to swallow his anger, how could he meet such a guy who was not long-eyed? Forget it, let's let the Tower King fix him!

"Don't apologize?" The strong man took a step forward, and the stars splashed everywhere.

"What if I say no?" The tower looked up at the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

The sailors began to feel sorry for this fellow who did not know Tarzan, they knew well the temper of the King of the Tower, and if he sneered at a certain person and looked disdainful in his eyes, it meant that he was already angry, and he was not small, as he is now. On the contrary, if he teaches a person with a straight face and scolds him fiercely, it means that he appreciates and cares about this person, and Ding Erniu can't wait to be scolded by him once a day.

"If you don't apologize, I'll let the Tibetan mastiff bite you." The strong man sneered, "They are not even afraid of tigers, and you few are even less worth mentioning." ”

"Not even afraid of tigers? It's probably the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life. Tie Ta shook his head, although these two Tibetan mastiffs are as strong as calves, but they really want to fight with the tiger, they are afraid that they will be slapped to death by him, they have fought with Tiger, how strong the tiger is No one knows better than me, Tiger is his good friend, how can these two puppies be compared to her? This is an insult to the king of beasts.

"I can tell you right now that we're definitely going to go, but not now, at least until the sun goes down." Tie Ta said lightly, "As for the apology you said, I will treat you as an unintentional mistake and don't care about you." ”

"Oh! I see, you're here to make trouble, and I'm no wonder you're here. Belt, Kuse, let the dogs! The strong man gave the order without hesitation.

"Big black, little black, on!" The dog slave grinned and released the rope in his hand, and the two Tibetan mastiffs couldn't wait to pounce.

"I haven't bitten for a while, and my teeth are itchy and uncomfortable, so I have to take a few of them to practice my teeth today." Both vicious dogs had the same idea, and opened their bloody mouths to bite the sailors.

The iron tower stepped forward to protect the young men behind him, grabbed the two dogs' heads with both arms, and hit each other, only to hear a crisp sound of "bang", the two beasts fell to the ground without snorting, everyone heard the sound of the skull breaking very clearly, and the Tibetan mastiff that was still murderous just now became two dead dogs in a blink of an eye.

The dog slave was dumbfounded, they couldn't be clearer about the combat power of the big black and the little black, pinching them to death with their bare hands, is this guy still human? No, is this guy still a grazing cow?

"You...... If you dare to kill our Tibetan mastiff, don't run away if you have any seeds. The strong man was shocked and hurriedly ran back to move the rescuers, but he didn't expect to slip and fall on all fours in the panic. He didn't even dare to pick up the hat on the ground, and ran towards the woods with a rolling belt, shouting, "Come on! Someone is making trouble. ”

The tower smiled contemptuously, "Call more people, I'll wait for you." ”

It didn't take long for the strong man to lead twenty or thirty people out, some with knives and guns, some with bows and arrows, this time more than a dozen Tibetan mastiffs came, and even a half-human tall golden eagle squatted on his arm. Not to mention, such equipment can be regarded as luxurious, no wonder he dares to be fearless.

"Surround them all for me, and not one of them will escape." A strong man is like a general commanding thousands of troops, incomparably majestic.

The tower suddenly felt that he was not interested, but these people really couldn't arouse any interest.

Not to be outdone, the sailors drew their swords, and the battle was about to break out.

"Laden, tell them to stop." Suddenly, a voice came from the woods, and a young man came out, eighteen or nineteen years old, with bright eyes, a high nose, and a very handsome appearance. He smiled at Zheng He, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

The strong man named Laden bowed his head and said respectfully, "Okay, master." With a wave of his hand, the men honestly retreated behind him.

Zheng He smiled and said, "Put all the guys away!" ”

"Yes!" The sailors retracted their knives into their sheaths in unison.

"Laden, apologize to these guests." The young man said solemnly.

What? Apologize? Did I hear me right? Laden stood there dumbfounded, dutifully guarding the island, not only did not get the praise of his master, but apologized to a few outsiders in front of so many subordinates, so what prestige would he have in the future?

The young man's face changed, and he shouted, "Don't you even listen to me? ”

Ladan walked up to Zheng He unwillingly, bent down and said, "I'm sorry. Then he stepped aside.

There was a hint of approval in Tie Tower's eyes, this young man really understood things.

The young man saw everything just now, and he was very dissatisfied with Laden's performance just now, as a general manager, he handled the problem simply and rudely, and was unreasonable, how could this work? It is no wonder that many people complained to themselves about bin Laden, saying that he was arrogant and domineering, and they still didn't believe it, because all the rumors were true. "For the sake of his decades-long friendship with his father, give him another chance, if he still doesn't repent, then don't blame me for not being emotional." The young man endured the unhappiness in his heart, clasped his hands into fists and said, "Everyone, I have no way to discipline me, please forgive me." ”

"You're so polite." Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Zheng He still understands this truth.

When the young man saw that Zheng He was gorgeously dressed and decorated, with many entourage, and there was a majesty in his gestures, he should be a person with a great background, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart. He loves to make friends the most in his life, and often spends a lot of money for those fox friends and dog friends, where can he miss a handsome character like Zheng He? He warmly said, "My name is Sinbad, welcome to my island sightseeing, where are you from?" ”

Zheng He also had a good impression of Sinbad, and said politely: "We are from China, and when we sailed through here, we saw that this small island was very beautiful, so we were invited to visit the island, but I didn't expect a little misunderstanding. ”

"Are all those ships yours?" Sinbad pointed to the imposing treasure ship in the distance, horrified.

Zheng He said proudly: "This is only part of it, there are countless ships like this in my homeland." ”

Sinbad was stunned, and his heart could not be calmed down like a rough sea for a long time, and after a long time he said with a sincere heart: "I always thought that my homeland, the kingdom of Babylon (present-day Iraq), was the most powerful, and now I know that I was wrong, and I am very wrong. Although I have not been to Huaxia, I can imagine that it must have been a very powerful country, and the kingdom of Babylon could only come in second. You are guests from afar, I invite you to my house for dinner, and do not refuse. ”

"Then bother." The host was so enthusiastic, of course Zheng He was embarrassed to refuse.
