Chapter 538: The Gift

Just when Wu Xiao swore to catch Qin Wen and Su Ruo, Qin Wen and Su Ruo were leisurely enjoying this exotic scenery in the sea, although they stopped at some ports along the way, Qin Wen was still ready to go to the Xili Republic, the largest country in the West, to have a look, and it just so happened that the merchant ship he was on was going there, and these passing ports, Qin Wen and the three of them just followed the sailors to the bottom to take a look, and then bought some local specialties and re-boarded the ship.

After three months of stopping and stopping on the ship, Qin Wen and Su Ruo took Xue Yan to finally arrive at Gaul Port, the largest port in the Xili Republic, and before they arrived at the port, two warships outflanked them from nearby, which made Qin Wen standing on the deck a little surprised, so he asked Captain Cafu: "Is this the etiquette of your Western countries? Why do you send warships to escort you when you arrive at the port?"

Now Qin Wen was able to speak to Kafu proficiently in Western languages on the ship, so Kafu didn't need Xue Yan's translation, so he hesitated and replied, "I don't know about this, is there something going on in the port? This has never happened before." ”

At this time, a sailor next to him spoke: "Mr. Captain, the soldiers on the warship have asked our three ships to stop at once, otherwise they will take the necessary action." ”

Cafu was stunned for a moment, and when he heard what the sailor said, he immediately understood, and said to the sailor: "Stop the ship immediately, let the warship come up and inspect it, and I will negotiate with them." ”

After arranging the sailors, Cafu turned to Qin Wen and said, "The warship must have checked the two pirate ships behind us, they should have thought that the pirates had taken hostages, and then went to the port to ask for money, don't worry, I will take care of this matter." By the way, if the soldiers on the warship ask about you in a moment, how should I answer?"

Qin Wen thought about it, he just came here to travel, and he didn't want to be in the limelight too much, and besides, his three Orientals were already very eye-catching here. If the news of the capture of pirates is spread again, maybe there will be some trouble when traveling, Qin Wen shook his head and said: "We don't see the soldiers of those armies, you can say that the pirates were captured by the sailors on the ship, by the way, you can explain to these sailors again, don't let them leak it." ”

Kafu couldn't help but be stunned, and also used Xue Yan's name for Qin Wen: "Master Qin, this capture of the one-eyed shark pirate is a major event in the empire. Not only can you get a huge bounty, maybe you will also be rewarded by the top of the army, and you may be awarded a lord by the state or something, how can you give it up?"

Qin Wen waved his hand and said: "We are foreign monks, and we don't want to stay here for a long time, it's useless to ask for a lord, it's better to leave it to you, you just do what I say." In a little while we'll follow the sailors ashore and wander around, maybe we'll be back after a while. ”

Only then did Cafu understand that Qin Wen was unwilling to be in the limelight. He muttered a little and said, "In that case, then I will do as you instruct, but my home is in the capital, and I will let two sailors take you to my house as guests in a while, and I will go back when I have finished handling the affairs here, and you can take my merchant ship when you leave." It's also more convenient when the time comes. ”

Qin Wen listened to Kafu's words, and also felt that what he said made sense, although he might not necessarily take a merchant ship when he went back, but since Kafu was warmly invited, it was not appropriate for him not to go. He nodded and said, "Okay, we'll follow the sailor to your house in a while, and we'll meet again when you're done with the matter." ”

After Cafu and Qin Wen finished discussing, he turned around and arranged for the two sailors on the ship, and asked them to take Qin Wen to their home first, and then Cafu told every sailor on the ship what Qin Wen had decided, although he knew that those pirates in the bilge might leak Qin Wen's affairs on the ship, but at that time Qin Wen had already left the merchant ship, and the army would no longer investigate this matter.

The merchant ship stopped near the harbor, Qin Wen and Su Ruo took Xue Yan back to the room, and then looked at the situation on the deck below from the window, only to see two naval officers with a team of soldiers stepping on the deck, they looked at the sailors on the ship very vigilantly, until they talked with Cafu for a while, and then gradually slowed down.

The two groups of soldiers on the other side of the warship got on the pirate ship behind them, and both sent a signal of safety on board at the same time, and the officer waved his hand at the warship, signaling for clearance, and at this time Cafu also lifted all the pirates above the deck for the two officers to see.

The merchant ship successfully docked on the harbor, and the naval officers guarding the coast who got the message gathered to watch the one-eyed shark pirates caught by Qin Wen, and all the sailors on board were treated like heroes, Cafu and several first mates were naturally invited to the barracks, followed by the dejected pirates.

Qin Wen and Su Ruo were accompanied by two sailors at the end, and the people gathered on the shore watched the pirates go to the vicinity of the barracks, and naturally there were not too many people on their side, the capital of the Xili Republic was near the harbor, and basically in less than an hour, Qin Wen and several people entered the capital.

The streets here are much narrower than the capital of Daqi, but there are not many pedestrians and vehicles in the capital, so it does not seem crowded, but the roadside is lined with greenery, and there are large green spaces, everything seems so quiet and peaceful, Su Ruo couldn't help but sigh: "Your life here is really comfortable, is the street so clean every day?"

One of the sailors hesitated for a moment and said, "What you see now is the richest part of the capital, and our Captain Cafu only moved here the year before last, and it took decades of sailing gold coins to buy a house in this city, if you go to those slums in the northern city, there is heaven and earth over there, here is the garden, and there is the rat cave, and the poor people can't even eat enough every day, how can there be a leisurely walk like this." ”

Another sailor couldn't help glaring at him, as if he was blaming the sailor who spoke for ruining Su Ruo's good mood, but Su Ruo said disapprerovitously: "There are rich and poor there, and I often travel elsewhere, but this exotic scenery has given me a lot of insight." ”

Passing by the many shops on the side of the street, they turned into an alley, and the sailor knocked lightly on the wooden door of a wooden house on the north side, and said, "Madam, we have been sent by Captain Cafu, and you will open the door first." ”

As soon as the sailors' words fell, Qin Wen heard a sound of rapid footsteps coming from inside, and then a seven or eight-year-old boy shouted in surprise: "Is Dad back? I'll go open the door for Daddy." ”

At this moment, a woman said with some sneer: "You slow down, count the days, your father will come back in a few days, and he may go to buy you gifts, let your sailor uncles on the ship come back and report a message." Before he could finish speaking, the door creaked open.

When she saw the sailor woman outside, she smiled, but when she saw the faces of the three orientals behind the sailor, Qin Wen, she said with some hesitation: "You, who are you looking for?"

A sailor smiled and said, "Madam, we are sailors who went to sea with Captain Cafu, my name is Olofe, don't you know me?" Speaking of this, he saw the woman's eyes looking at the three Qin Wen behind him, so he hurriedly introduced: "These three are distinguished guests from the East, who once helped the captain a lot when sailing, so the captain asked us to take them to our home as guests." ”

When the woman heard the sailor's explanation, she smiled and said, "It turns out that it is a guest from the East, I was rude just now, please come in, and I will go and prepare for you some tea tree water that Kafu brought from the East." ”

Qin Wen understood that the tea tree water that the woman was talking about should be the tea drunk by Daqi, and after following the sailor into Kafu's house, he said to the woman: "Mrs. Kafu, don't be too troublesome, we came to the Xili Republic just to have a tour, and when we met Captain Kafu on a merchant ship, he invited us to come to his house as a guest." ”

When the woman heard that Qin Wen could communicate with her in normal language, she showed surprise on her face: "You can actually speak our language here, that's really good, don't call me Madam, you just call me Katie, you sit down for a while, and I'll be back soon." As she spoke, Katie walked into the kitchen.

At this time, a little boy of seven or eight years old tugged at the sailor's pants underneath and said, "Uncle Olofe, is my father back? Did he buy me a toy?"

Olofe showed a bright smile on his face, and gently patted the little boy's shoulder with his hand and said, "Little Jack, your father will be back soon, he is going to deal with one thing, and he will definitely bring you toys when he comes back." ”

Qin Wen looked at the little boy's round little face very cute, remembering that he came to Kafu's house in a hurry, and he didn't bring any gifts, so he used his divine sense to check in his storage bag, magic weapons and pills and the like were a little inappropriate for this little boy, but there were no children's playthings on his body, and then he suddenly saw a delicate jade talisman, this jade talisman was left over from his communication in an operation, and there was also a wisp of Qin Wen's own divine consciousness in it.

Now this jade talisman is a suitable gift for a child, Qin Wen took out the jade talisman, then tied a knot with silk thread, hung it around the boy's neck and said, "This is a gift from your uncle, do you like it?"

Due to the different cultivation techniques in the East and the West, and the spiritual objects used, it is rare to see this kind of jade talisman in the West, little Jack played with the warm jade talisman with his hand, and couldn't help but nod and said, "I like it, thank you uncle."
