Han Ji grabbed the melon seeds and stood aside, gloating and said, "It's time to be taught a lesson, be honest all the way." ”

The parrot was torn off a handful of blue feathers, and it hung on the railing for a long time to mourn, watching Haizhu from time to time think about fetching water for the turtle and fishing to feed it. She saw that she had a different attitude towards this turtle and the turtle in the family, and completely dismissed the idea of revenge, and when it cast its net in the evening, it chose a shrimp to feed the turtle.

Chapter 215: Intercepting the Bandits

After five days at sea, at noon on the sixth day, when he patrolled the island, he found that two ships were sailing towards the sea one after the other, and there was a faint cry in the sea breeze, Han Ji immediately sat upright, he came out of the cabin, and ordered the soldiers to speed up.

"Another ship is coming." A child shouted in panic.

"It's a ship from Quang Nam." When the old man who saw the flag clearly saw the savior, the old woman stepped into the water and shouted: "Help, sir, there are robbers who have come to the island to kidnap us, men and women have been arrested, and half-grown boys have also been arrested." ”

The old people and children on the island shouted for help in unison, and the people on the boat couldn't hear what they were shouting specifically, but seeing the movement clearly, Han Ji ordered to chase the ship, and the helmsman immediately plucked the sail to adjust the angle, and the bow of the boat turned around and chased after it directly.

The soldiers on the ship shouted with a calm face and paddled together, and the two sails plus the strength of the man, the official ship quickly chased after the thief ship. Getting closer, Haizhu and Han Ji stood on the second floor and saw the situation on the boat in front of them.

"I'm here to rob people again." Erhe shouted in despair and anger, he clenched his fists and said, "They will come and rob people every year or two, the men will sell them to dig stones in the mines, and the women will throw them back when they give birth, and they will come to rob them again when they are raised." Major General, we are also the people of the Zhao, why didn't the imperial court send troops to protect us? ”

Han Ji didn't answer, the official ship went around the bend to intercept the two thief ships, he saw the clothes of the people on the boat, and judged that the other party was from Dali, He loudly revealed his identity and demanded that the other party return the people of Dazhao.

The other party ignored it.

"He's going to run." Haizhu pointed to another ship and shouted, and the helmsman of the other boat was twisting the sails.

"Bump into it." Han Ji ordered in a deep voice, he went into the cabin and took out his spear, looked at the parrot, and said to Dongzhu: "Look at it, don't let it come out, and don't come out." ”

Haizhu also followed up, she instructed Dongzhu to keep a close eye on a few small ones, "There are people killing outside, don't go out, birds are not allowed to go out, someone from your hometown is here, if you go out and are seen, you will be arrested." ”

The parrot changed its eagerness to try, and immediately shrunk its neck to be honest.

The hull of the ship shook, the teapots and teacups on the table fell to the ground one after another, and the people also fell left and right, Haizhu walked out with the door and closed the door smoothly. Seeing that the people on the thief ship couldn't escape, they ruthlessly slashed the captured islanders with knives, and Han Ji led people to jump over when he hit the boat, and was fighting on the thief ship.

Haizhu hurriedly walked down the wooden ladder, she picked up the knife that fell on the board, pushed the old turtle to climb to the bow of the boat, one person and one turtle jumped off the boat one after another, the helmsman took a look, had no time to take care of her, and drove the boat to crash again.

"Kick down." Haizhu shouted in the water.

Han Ji glanced at it, waved the spear in his hand, and waved a thief to get off the boat, all the people who dared to cross the ocean were all good in water, and the people who fell off the boat smiled and swam quickly towards Haizhu, Haizhu got into the water and he also sank, and the next moment, he saw something on Haizhu's head, a shaking god, the turtle bit him on the neck, he turned his head to hide, a knife shadow waved over, and the water was immediately faint and bloody.

Haizhu drew a knife and swam not far away with the old turtle, the soldiers and the thief were scuffling in the sea, and the next moment, the thief disappeared on the sea. Haizhu dragged the thief's feet to the bottom of the water, and the old turtle emerged from the water and glanced at the panicked red-clothed soldier.

"It's you." The soldier said, "Your master is underwater?" "He thought there were sharks underwater.

The old turtle ignored him and swam in the other direction.

Haizhu acts as a water ghost who pulls people underwater, and when people pull down, they will cut it, and if they can't cut it to death, they will drag it to the bottom of the sea, and then let go if they drown. With her help, the soldiers fighting in the water are especially easy.

In less than a cup of tea, at the end of the battle, Haizhu emerged from the water, and in an instant she saw the old turtle swimming towards her, it shook its neck, approached and bit Haizhu's sleeve and dragged it to the side of the boat.

"Get on the boat, there's a shark in the sea." Haizhu shouted loudly, and she took the old turtle to swim to the nearest thief ship, "Han Ji, put the rope." ”

When Han Ji heard the sound, he immediately threw down the rope on the boat and said to the islanders on the boat: "Don't howl, cast fishing nets to catch people." ”

The fishing net was cast, and the people in the sea swam in one direction, Han Ji dragged the rope to drag Haizhu and the old turtle up, and when the human turtle got on the boat, he threw the rope again, and handed down the spear to drag the soldiers in the water.

A half-dead thief who was not yet dead was holding a knife and was going to kill Han Ji from behind, but before he could stand up, Haizhu kicked him out of the boat, and the person smashed into the sea and splashed three feet of waves, the waves splashed, and the gray shadow under the water was revealed.

"The sharks are coming." Haizhu shouted.

The last wounded soldier had been dragged away from the sea by the fishing net, Han Ji strode over and grabbed the fishing net, the moment he touched the fishing net, he felt at ease, the fishing net pinched his hand, he didn't have to worry about the fishing net slipping halfway.

"Let's see if there's any alive, and throw them off the boat to feed the sharks." Haizhu instructed that he could not go back to report the news alive.

One after another, the water splashed, the blood in the sea became more and more intense, and the islanders on the boat were very happy.

Haizhu walked to the bow of the ship and plucked the sails, and the double-storey ship turned back, followed by the other two.

"You ......" Han Ji looked at the islanders on the boat and asked, "Which tribe are you from?" Who is the chieftain? Can it be reported to the court? ”

"We are from the Lishui tribe, the chief is a soft bone, our tribe used to make a living by pearl diving, but after the typhoon season last year, the underwater stone cave collapsed, the pearl diving point was destroyed, and there were no beads to supply to the imperial court, so we people were useless, no one cared about it." The woman on the boat cried.

Han Ji's chest rose and fell in anger, he turned his head and was silent, and after a while, he said, "You can move your family and go north, to Guangnan." ”

"I'm going to leave the beach......

The three boats arrived at Qiongya, the people on the boat got off the boat with weak legs, hugged the family and collapsed on the beach crying and laughing, Han Ji and Haizhu watched on the boat, and when everyone got off the boat, he asked the boat to leave.

"Benefactor, stay for a meal, and let us thank you." The people on the island shouted.

Han Ji waved his hand, and the boat continued to move forward, and the ferry crossing through the Qingyuan tribe did not stop, and the boat traveled for a long time, and arrived at the Guangnan fishing village bordering Qiongya when it was dark.

After resting all night, at dawn, Han Ji left a boat for the local fishermen, and took another boat to the small island in the sea, that is, the island where Yao Qingman's family is located.

He can't meddle in the military and political affairs of Qiongya, and he can't provoke the war between Dali and Dazhao, he can't come forward, but if the fishermen come forward to kill the bandits, the court will naturally not be able to condemn him, and Dali has no excuse to pick quarrels and provoke trouble.

Boarding the Qingyuan ferry again, the old chief personally greeted her at the ferry, she was gray-haired, thin, and looked a little fierce with a smile on her face.

"Thank you to the young general for his help, the old man prepared a thin wine, and invited everyone to come over for a simple meal."

"Chief, please." Han Ji stretched out his hand.

Haizhu followed behind with his younger siblings, as well as Changsheng and Parrot, and Erhe was impassionedly telling everyone about the heroic deeds of the young general, and the people on the island looked at them eagerly and gratefully.

The chief's house was a wooden house, made of wood, and there was an indescribable smell of wood in the house, even if the food was put on the table, the smell of the food could not hide the smell of wood.

"Thank you for the time to come, the old man should have visited, but he was too lazy to go out." The old chief picked up the wine cup, tilted the wine cup to signal, and drank it all first.

Han Ji took a sip of the wine cup and said, "Drinking alcohol hurts your body, the old chief doesn't have to be reluctant, just a moderate amount." ”

"This is the young lady?" The old chief turned to look at Haizhu.

"I'm getting married in October." Han Ji smiled.

"A beautiful woman deserves a hero."

"Heroes cherish heroes." Han Ji corrected.

The old chief laughed a few times, the politeness on her face faded, and she sighed: "I haven't seen such a bright person for many years, the young general is a broad-minded person, and the old body is no longer beating around the bush, you can also see clearly the chaotic and disorderly political affairs of Qiongya, the soldiers and bandits are plotting, the people are guilty, and the old body wants to find a way out for the fishermen in the tribe." Before, the child of Erhe proposed to go to Quang Nam to sell coconuts and live chickens, saying that your people there love to eat, and the old man thinks that this is a way out, our island is lush with vegetation and many rivers, so a large number of chickens and ducks can be raised to supply Quang Nam. In addition, there are many Tamanu trees, which can be used for shipbuilding and furniture, and can also be supplied to Quang Nam. ”

Han Ji nodded and said, "You always give documents to the islanders who are traveling on the island, and the islanders who are active in Quang Nam take the documents to the city of Quang Nam to apply for household registration, and only those who have a household registration can walk in Guangnam." In order to prevent bandits from going ashore, the people who disembark at each of our wharves must check their household registration, and in order to protect the safety of our Quang Nam fishermen, things are more troublesome, so don't be surprised. ”

"Yes, I really envy the people of Quang Nam for welcoming a protector god." The old chief sighed, she clapped her hands, and a girl brought a wooden box and put it on the table, "This is the unique agarwood of our Qingyuan tribe, and we will give it to the young general and Mrs. Zun as a wedding gift in advance." ”

"It's too valuable." Han Ji confiscated.

"If the old man unfortunately dies, I hope that the young general can take in the islanders who are willing to move to Quang Nam." The old chief said the ultimate goal.

Han Ji accepted the wooden box.

There was only the voice of the two of them at the table, and the others only listened but did not speak, and even the parrot was sensible and did not interject and concentrated on cooking.

At the end of the meal, Han Ji stayed behind to continue to talk with the old chief, and Haizhu took a group of small people to see the crabs living in the cave and the people who climbed the trees and picked coconuts.

The parrot landed on Haizhu's shoulder and looked curiously at the surrounding environment, and when it saw Haizhu buying coconut water, it smacked its lips and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

Haizhu bought a bowl made of coconut shell again, poured a puddle of water and fed it, "Sweet, can you taste it?" ”

The parrot smacked water one after another, drank it to its fill, and tried to fly to the top of the tree to twist the green coconut, and then claws and beaks peck, tossed for a long time, twisted a green coconut and fell off the tree.

At night, a green coconut is placed at the bedside to quench thirst, and a large coconut full of claw marks is also pestled on the side of its bird's nest, and every time it wakes up, it has to sip a few sips of coconut water to drink.

Chapter 216: Some people are reluctant to leave, some people are homesick

There was a "bang", and the parrot flew in shock, and its wings swept over the nest, and the nest fell, and the coconut next to it rolled down to the ground, and the planks of the ship clicked, and all the people living in the cabin woke up.

"What are you messing about?" Haizhu yawned and sat up, she glanced out, and the sky was bright.

The parrot landed on the table and was also confused, it was awakened, but it was startled by something, it didn't know, maybe it was dreaming?

"Hungry?" Haizhu asked.

"I'm hungry." The bird nodded homeopathically.

"Wait." Haizhu got dressed and got off the boat, picked up the coconut and threw it out from the window, combed her hair and pushed open the hatch to take the bird out, opened the door and saw Han Ji standing outside, she pulled her eyes and asked, "You also got up so early?" ”

Han Ji pointed to the green coconut that rolled down to the beach and said, "The coconut fell from the tree, and I got up when I heard the sound." ”

"The birds heard it too." Only then did the parrot react.

"Didn't you say you woke up hungry?" Haizhu walked down the wooden ladder, and since she didn't wake up hungry, she went to wash up first.

Dongzhu, Fengping, Changsheng and Chaoping Pingsheng all got up one after another, except for Pingsheng, the other four all ran off the boat excitedly to see the crabs in the trees.

Haizhu came up from the bottom warehouse with water, and saw Pingsheng sitting on the second floor in a daze, looking at the sea with her face facing east, she shouted, "Haven't woken up yet?" Let's wash our face first, we'll go to the island early to play in the morning, and come back when it's hot, and you can sleep a little more at noon. ”

Pingsheng walked downstairs with short legs, and his face was a little unhappy.

"Haizhu—" the parrot shouted and flew over, its claws loosened, and a coconut crab smashed on the board, "for you." ”

"The crab has come down from the tree, catch it." Dongzhu's voice came.

Haizhu twisted the handkerchief to wipe Pingsheng's face, and said, "You should also go and have a look, and when you go back, tell your mother that she has not seen a crab that can climb a tree." ”

"Okay." He took the handkerchief and wiped his face himself, turned his head and stretched out his hand to let the guards carry him off the boat.

"Let's also go catch crabs and roast them at noon." Haizhu beckoned to the birds, and one person and one bird slipped off the boat.

The old turtle crawled out of the basin under the wooden ladder, dragged the crab back to the basin, bit through the crab shell and nibbled on the sweet crab meat.

The coconut crab goes up the tree in the dark and goes down the tree in the morning, and the people on the island will come and wait under the coconut tree before dawn, and when the crab comes down, it will be directly pinched and thrown into the bucket. Standing on the ground and looking at the trees, there were at least six or seven crabs hanging on a coconut tree, the small ones with yellowish shells and the large ones with black and red shells.

"Don't catch the female crab that comes out of the belly." A little girl came over hesitantly, and she said to Dongzhu: "The mother crab produces seeds, and we have endless coconut crabs." ”

"Okay." Dongzhu picked out two female crabs from the bucket and threw them on the sand, and as soon as the coconut crab landed, it immediately burrowed into the sand hole.

"The tide is receding." I don't know who shouted.

The people who were originally squatting under the trees scattered in a hurry, rushed to the beach and stepped into the tide, the water was clear, and they carried bamboo baskets to catch fish, shrimp and crabs in the shallow water.

"If they don't catch us, Fengping, you go to that tree, the crabs are coming down, and you go to another tree to guard." Winter beads arrange people.

"Second sister, what about me?" Pingsheng asked.

"You and Chaoping carry the bucket for us."

"I can catch crabs too." Pingsheng ran under another tree where no one was, and Chaoping followed when he saw it.

"Beware of coconut falling and smashing people." Han Ji was guarding on the side, he waved his hand, arranged for the guards to go over and watch, he looked at the other side, Haizhu cooperated with the parrot, the parrot flew up the tree to kick the crab on the tree, or pecked with a bird's beak, the crab fell down the tree, and Haizhu picked it up below.

"It's gone." Birds shout in the trees.
