Chapter 675: Shipbuilding
After searching for a long time at the beach, a group of people finally found a fisherman by the sea. Feng Shang was about to go to inquire about the situation, but was stopped by Ye Lan, who said: "Don't act rashly, a family suddenly appears in this kind of place, no matter how you look at it, it's a little suspicious!"
Zhong Liyan smiled slightly, and said, "Of course you have to let me come in this case! You guys are waiting here!" After speaking, he walked forward.
The wooden houses by the sea are a little different from those in the interior, where the houses are built directly on the ground, but not by the sea, where the houses are built at a certain distance from the ground. On the one hand, it is to prevent moisture, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent the rising tide of the sea from flooding the house. As a result, there is a staircase leading to the house outside the room.
Zhong Liyan took the stairs and knocked on the door and asked, "Is there anyone at home?" After a while, an old man with a cane came out of it, he looked at Zhong Liyan and said, "Who are you?" Zhong Liyan said respectfully: "Excuse me seniors, juniors want to go to sea, but after looking for a long time, not only did I not see a ship, but I didn't even have the wood for shipbuilding, I don't know where the seniors know where there is a ship that can go to sea?"
As soon as he heard Zhong Liyan say that he was looking for a boat, the old man snorted coldly and said, "Sure enough, you are the same as them, you can go! I won't tell you!" Zhong Liyan was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what the old man meant by this, so he asked: "The juniors don't understand, why don't the seniors want to tell you?"
The old man looked at Zhong Liyan again, and there was no evil thought in his eyes, so he said, "I hope you are different from them!" and walked out of the door, and then went down the stairs, Zhong Liyan followed cautiously.
The old man saw Ren Xiao and the others in the distance, but ignored them, but walked on the beach, and said, "I can see from your eyes that you are different from them!" Zhong Liyan asked cautiously: "I don't know who they are mentioned many times in the mouths of the seniors?"
"I can't remember how long ago it was, but this is a seaside village where people make a living from fishing. Until one day, two people came here, and they wanted the villagers to join their organization, saying that it would keep everyone safe. However, the people here are born to worship freedom, and no one is willing to be a slave, so everyone began to resist, but unfortunately those two people are not only fierce, but also powerful, no one is their opponent, even if all the young and middle-aged people in the village join forces, they are finally killed by these two people!" said the old man, sitting on the reef by the sea. Zhong Liyan also understood, and he said, "Senior, are the two people you said a member of the White Night?"
The old man was taken aback and asked, "Young man, how do you know about the White Night?" Their people did come here later, but they were not the two people who slaughtered the village! They occupied this place after killing all the villagers, and I and a few others survived by luck, and we could only hide during the day, and only dared to come out at night to find some food to eat." Soon after, the White Night you mentioned, their men came, and they had a fierce battle with the people before them, and in the end the White Night's men won. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Liyan couldn't help but ask: "Senior, do you want to say that Bai Ye has become like this."
Your savior?" the old man sneered and said, "At first, I thought so, but later, I saw their true colors!"
"What happened next?" Zhong Liyan asked hurriedly.
"After the White Night drove those people away, we thought that God had sent someone to save us and returned to the village, and the White Night did not disturb us. But then, I was lucky enough to find a book of martial arts secrets in the place where those people stayed before, and I didn't know what it was at first, and if I could have known that this thing would lead to a massacre, I wouldn't have touched it anyway. When the old man said this, he couldn't help but leave tears of remorse. Zhong Liyan had already guessed what happened to the old man at this moment, and he said, "You learned that martial arts secret book, and then the people of the White Night will come to you, right!"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded and said, "That's right! They want to win me over, but I didn't agree!" How do you know?" Zhong Liyan said: "This is Bai Ye's style of doing things, in the early years, they recruited people with strong martial arts in various places, and if they didn't accept it, they would be killed!" The old man smiled bitterly and said, "That's right!"
"However, since the seniors have learned martial arts, and Bai Ye has also come to you, why haven't you been killed by them?" Zhong Liyan asked suspiciously. The old man said, "I wish they had killed me! I survived, but everyone else died! White Nights sometimes had to go to sea, but they didn't have ships, so I stayed to build and repair ships for them!"
Zhong Liyan sighed, he could feel the pain of the old man over the years, not only could he not avenge his clansmen, but he would also become a tool of the enemy. Zhong Liyan asked, "Then why didn't you resist, senior?"
"Resist? Why haven't I resisted? The first time I blew up their ship, they abolished their martial arts, and the second time I secretly dug a hole in the bottom of the ship, and when they came back, they broke my veins directly, and now I am a waste! But I want to live, I must live, because I have dreamed more than once that someone will get rid of these scum with beast hearts!" said the old man, and at last he was even more indignant. Zhongli Yan'an Fu Lao said: "Don't hide it from our predecessors, in fact, we are the guards of the capital, and we are here to go to sea to attack the white night!
When the first wave of people came to slaughter them, an old man who had been to the inland said to him before he died: "Go to the inland, go to the capital to find the capital guards, only they can save us!" Thinking of this, the old man suddenly realized, took Zhong Liyan's hand and said, "You...... You are, the guards of the capital, please save ......" Halfway through speaking, the old man suddenly choked up, he wanted Zhongli to save the villagers, but only then did he react, everyone was already dead. He sighed again, "Why? Why are you here now?
Zhong Liyan blamed himself: "The East China Sea is too far away from the capital, and the situation here can't be transmitted to the capital at all, I'm sorry, we're late!"
Zhong Liyan nodded, and the old man said, "It's late!"
It's too late!Before, a large number of members of the White Night went to sea in batches, and they had already used up everything that could be used to make a ship, and in the end, all the remaining ones were destroyed!" Zhong Liyan was shocked when he heard this, and said, "It seems that they already knew that we would be chasing, so they were prepared! Damn!" Looking at the helpless old man, Zhong Liyan finally had to return to his companions and tell them about the situation here.
Feng Shang said: "It's all here, if you give up because you can't go to sea, it's a pity!" Luo Yun said: "Let's think about any other way?" Taishi Xiaomeng said helplessly: "Everyone is from the inland, and they don't know anything about the sea!"
Just when everyone was at a loss, the old man walked towards them tremblingly, and Li Xiangri signaled Zhong Li to delay it after seeing the old man, and the latter hurriedly ran over to greet the old man.
The old man said: "I have an idea! I have a way to build a ship for you to go to sea!" Zhong Liyan said happily: "Senior, what good way do you have?"
The old man said: "You can demolish my house, and then use this wood to make two small boats, enough for you to go to sea!" Zhong Liyan hurriedly refused: "No, no, no, this is absolutely unacceptable, your house is used to build ships for us, so where do you live!" The old man smiled slightly and said: "The reason why I can survive for so long is because I firmly believe that one day someone will come to punish these people, and now that these people have appeared, I naturally want to do my best to assist them!"
"No, senior, we won't use your house to build ships anyway!" Zhong Liyan refused again. The old man threw away his crutches, grabbed Zhong Liyan's collar and said, "What do you know? For me, as long as I can take revenge, my life can be paid, let alone a house that has long been dilapidated? You may have left my house in the end, but you have broken the heart of an old man who has been looking forward to your arrival for decades! and his lifelong wish!"
Zhong Liyan was silent, and in the end, it was Li Xiangri who took the lead and said to the old man: "Senior, if the world is full of righteous people like you, maybe Bai Ye would not have developed to this day!
Only then did the old man smile and said, "I, I can finally complete the last shipbuilding in this life!"
Although the old man was no longer able to build the ship by hand, he commanded Ren Xiao and the others to quickly demolish the house, and then built two small boats in the shortest time.
Looking at the ships that looked like them, Ren Xiao sighed: "If it weren't for the guidance of our predecessors, even if we had the materials, it would be impossible to build these two ships!"
The boat was built, but there was nothing left of the house that originally belonged to the old man, and Zhong Liyan was a little depressed. The old man looked at the two ships with satisfaction, and said, "If my veins are not broken, I will definitely build a better ship for you with my own hands!" Speaking of this, Feng Shang had an idea and hurriedly said: "Wait, the senior's veins have been broken...... Mu Ke quickly ...... to the senior" He hadn't finished his words, but he found that Yi Mu Ke had already come to the old man's side.
