Chapter 1800: Ling An vs Ah Qing (9)
After lunch, Ling An sat aside and watched Ah Qing clean up the fish in the morning.
Many fish die easily, so you don't have to kill them right away!
After killing, it is salted again, and after being taken back, it is dried into dried fish.
Ah Qing did these jobs very skillfully and very quickly. When Ling An saw him doing it, he thought to himself, if I fish with him all my life, wouldn't I be happy to be with him like this?
In her short life, she has had wealth, tasted the pain of losing her loved ones, and endured betrayal and cruelty. For the rest of her life, she is with Ah Qing, a boat, he fishes, she fishes, and it is also very beautiful!
Ah Qing felt that she was looking at herself, and smiled at her, the fish was almost finished, and he brought a bag with filth.
Ling An hurriedly brought water to wash his hands. After he washed his hands, the third uncle said that he could collect the fishing nets.
They don't want to go back too late, and it's almost there today.
When the nets are collected and the fish are loaded, they are ready to go back.
At this time, Ling'an saw a merchant ship coming from a distance.
She heard the third uncle say that merchant ships have often been robbed by pirates recently, and over time, merchant ships may not come to Weizhou Port.
In recent years, after the trade route was opened, many merchant ships would come to Weizhou to receive fish goods, such as dried fish, dried shrimp, etc. If there are fewer traders, it will be a big blow to them as fishermen.
So piracy cannot be allowed to continue to run rampant.
"It's a merchant ship!" A-Qing said.
The third uncle can't help but be nervous!
If there are merchant ships, will there be pirates?
"Let's go back quickly!" The third uncle said.
Ah Qing immediately went to adjust the direction and walked back.
As soon as they had turned their direction, they saw two large ships coming from the north.
Then I heard a thud!
I saw the big ship firing at the merchant ship, although it missed, but it was enough to deter the merchant ship.
Ling An couldn't help but think, the pirate's equipment was so good?
"I didn't hit, I hope they can get away." A-Qing said.
Ling'an felt that the other party deliberately did not hit, and they should have boarded the ship and robbed the goods on the merchant ship. If it really hits and the ship sinks, won't there be nothing?
Ling An felt a little strange, was the pirate's equipment so good?
"Let's go!" The third uncle said.
They are just fishermen, their abilities are very limited, it is impossible to save people, and it is very good to be able to save their lives.
"Hmm." Ah Qing thought so and hurriedly walked back.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Ling An saw from a distance that two large ships had let countless small boats down, and then passed through the small boats to get on the merchant ship.
At the same time, the pirates also discovered them and sent a small boat to drive them away.
Ling An looked at the small boat, but it was just to drive away, and there was no intention of attacking. Otherwise they had artillery in their hands, and the range of the artillery was not close, and they would have shot a long time ago.
"Xiaochen, you go to the ship." Ah Qing was rowing the boat and anxiously called him in.
"It's fine." Ling An smiled at him, but still listened to him and entered the ship.
Once inside, she could see through the window that the pirate ship had caught up with the merchant ship, and it was time to board the merchant ship.
These pirates, without humanity, will only burn and loot.
She slowly picked up the wooden flute and began to blow.
"Ah Qing, did you hear the flute?" The flute was not loud, but it could be heard.
"Well, Xu Xiaochen is playing the flute."
Xiaochen, she can do anything!
The uncle and nephew are wondering why Xiaochen suddenly played the flute?
Ah Qing heard the sound of birdsong getting closer and closer, and when she looked up again, she saw seabirds flying from all directions, heading towards the pirate ship.
"How can there be so many birds all of a sudden?" The third uncle said.
"yes, I've never seen so many seabirds together?" Ah Qing said in a daze.
The seabirds were attacking the pirates, and the pirates who got off the boat were thrown into the sea. The pirates of the big ships were also attacked by seabirds.
"Third uncle, look! Seabirds are actually attacking pirates. ”
"Yes, I've been fishing for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen it." The third uncle was also shocked.
"It's not a goddess who is helping." A-Qing said.
Goddess? He had been at sea for so many years, but he had never seen a goddess.
It's all dust, and I've been playing the flute inside the ship!
Two large ships, pirates kept falling overboard, and only countless gunshots were heard, but the seabirds kept coming, and the pirates were overwhelmed, and the merchant ship escaped.
The flute gradually stopped!
They were getting farther and farther away from the boats, and the seabirds were scattering.
"Xiaochen, come out and take a look." Ah Qing said loudly.
"What's wrong?" Ling'an came out.
"A lot of seabirds came out just now, attacked the pirate ship, and let the merchant ship escape." A-Qing said.
"How can there be seabirds?" Ling An felt strange.
"I think it's weird too!" A-Qing said.
The third uncle looked at Xiaochen, "Xiaochen, were you playing the flute just now?" ”
"yes, I played a tune from my hometown."
"Nice, did those seabirds listen to your tune and attack the pirates?" A-Qing said.
"How so? Seabirds don't listen to music, it's just a coincidence! I'll blow it again. Ling An continued to play the flute as he spoke.
But no seabirds flew this time?
Tranquility at sea!
The third uncle also thinks it's unlikely! He'd never heard that the sound of a flute could attract birds, let alone make them attack what they wanted to attack.
Is it really like Ah Qing's stupid boy said, there is a goddess!
In fact, at sea, all kinds of visions are common, although the flock of birds attacking the pirates is indeed a bit surprising.
When they returned, they learned that many fishermen had seen seabirds attacking pirates, but they didn't hear any horns!
Everyone is discussing!
"Could it be that the goddess of the sea is blessing us!"
"It must be the goddess of the sea who bless us!"
Most of the people, as Ah Qing said, are the goddesses of the sea who protect them.
Ah Qing's father is the patriarch, and many elders in the clan feel the need to worship the goddess of the sea, so he chose a day for the memorial ceremony.
Aunt Hua felt that after a trip to the sea, Ah Qing and Xiaochen seemed to be different.
The two often snuggle together, although there is no special excess, but they are also very close.
Aunt Hua asked the third uncle what was going on?
The third uncle said, "You are ready to do a happy event." ”
Aunt Hua was overjoyed when she heard this.
These days, she really likes Xiaochen, if she can be her daughter-in-law, it would really be great!
She later talked to Xiaochen.
"Xiaochen, don't worry, if you marry into our family, we will never treat you badly. I don't have a daughter, you are both my daughter-in-law and my daughter, and you will never let A-Qing bully you. ”
When Ling An heard this, his heart was moved.
"Aunt Hua, thank you for being so kind to me." She couldn't help but redden.
Aunt Hua said that she would be her daughter!
Ling'an lost her mother when she was young, and her mother began to blur in her memory, and when Aunt Hua said that she was her daughter, how could she not be moved.
"I will discuss with Ah Qing's father and choose a good day for your marriage." Aunt Hua said.
