1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 18 Desperate ([-])

"Gululu..." There was a sudden sound from the dog next to him.

Qi Tian looked back at the dog.

The dog smiled shyly, "I'm a little hungry..."

When the dog said this, Qi Tian also felt a little hungry.

"Second brother, let's find something to eat?" Qi Tian said.

"Let's go! Eat something to pamper your stomach." Qi Dajiang heard the words, stood up, and led the two to the bottom warehouse.

Wait for Qi Dajiang to take out a few black lumps from a corner of the bottom warehouse, and hand them to Qi Tian and Gouzi.

"Is this... edible?" Qi Tian looked at something resembling the Shandong flatbread of later generations, but it was dark in color, and it was suspected that there was hair growing on it.

"Let's eat it! ... There are some dried salted fish there. ... That's how it is at sea!" Qi Dajiang said while biting the hard and dry pancake.

Qi Tian still remembered that the day before yesterday, he seemed to have eaten two meals of fresh rice porridge, as if he had bacon jerky.

He tried a few bites, and it tasted salty and a little rough, um, a little bit of a mouthful, and a bit of drooling.

Qi Tian swallowed hard for a few mouthfuls, but was choked, and hurriedly looked for water.

Opened a Weng jar filled with water, took a sip, and drank it.Just drank it in the mouth, and suddenly spit it out again.

"What's wrong?" Qi Dalu asked.

"It's cold water. .

"Huh?...Will you get sick?" Qi Dajiang asked, "...No wonder, brothers often have stomach upsets. Is it because of drinking this cold water?"

"Mostly so." Qi Tian said. It seems that few people in later generations drink cold water. In addition to concerns about water quality, they may also have weakened their stomachs.

"Then let's go to boil water to drink!" Gouzi said, looking for tools to hold water in the bottom bin, ready to boil water.

"Dangdangdang..." Suddenly, there was a warning roar from the upper deck.

"It's estimated that we have encountered an enemy!" Qi Dajiang turned his head and looked at the stairs, "I'll take a look, you guys... stay here." After speaking, he stepped onto the deck.

"Fourth Uncle, let's go up and have a look too?" Seeing Qi Tian squatting there to boil water, Gouzi didn't mean to leave at all.

"What can we do when we go up?" Qi Tian lowered his head and manipulated the kettle. "Neither can he sail, nor can he shoot guns. It is estimated that we will have a while to fight the boat."

The dog was stunned, then squatted on the ground and watched Qi Tian boil water.

"Where can I find some rice, or noodles, and cook a pot of porridge, how wonderful!" Qi Tian said.

"There is some rice on the boat, but not much. It will be eaten by those who are injured." Gouzi replied.

"Oh....Or else, I'll be injured a little bit." Qi Tian looked at the ugly and cumbersome coal stove in front of him, smoking everywhere and leaking fire. If he was not careful, he might set the wooden boat on fire.

"Injured, may die." Dog said.

"It's okay to die. Maybe, I'll be back in my time at once. I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I have everything I want."

"Huh?" Gouzi looked at Qi Tian in confusion, "Is it what those great monks said... Elysium?"

"Yeah....Everyone can eat and drink enough, and there is no need to fight and kill, there are tall buildings, cars, mobile phones, Internet... and a warm home." Qi Tian said faintly.

"However, the third uncle said that those great monks are all liars. Only the emperor, those great officials, and the rich can live those days... We poor people don't have that fate." Gouzi said.

"Why didn't I have that fate!?" Qi Tian stood up suddenly, "I will definitely live that kind of life in the future! The days to come will be like that.... But what the hell, he has to wait for more than 300 years!"

"For more than 300 years, our bones might have been turned into dirt long ago.... Third Uncle, how do you know that after more than 300 years, the poor will live a better life?"

"..." Qi Tian looked at the dog and said firmly, "...I used to enjoy that kind of life."

"Huh?" The dog blinked, "I enjoyed it too."

Qi Tian was startled, his eyes widened, and he looked at Gouzi, "You... have also come over?" No, I met a comrade who had passed through.

"What is crossing?" the dog asked.

"...Didn't you say that you also enjoyed that kind of good life?"

"Dream!" Gouzi blinked again, with a look in his eyes, "When I was dreaming, I seemed to have experienced it. ... I can eat enough food and meat every day, and have a big house to live in. I also dreamed of my father and mother, and my lost sister, all wearing beautiful clothes..."

Qi Tian looked at the dog in amazement, dreaming!

But looking at Gouzi's yearning expression, I feel a little sad and a little distressed.A boy under the age of 15, in this troubled world, wandering, working as a pirate, and killing people, this should be the age for school!

"Gouzi, in the future, I will definitely let you live the good life you dreamed of!" Qi Tian suddenly had a sense of mission. Other time-travels are all about reigning kings and dominating, or being rich and noble, why should we transcend? , Is it so difficult to even get some delicious food and even want to live?

"I believe in you.... Fourth uncle, you have read books. Before, Dad told me that those who have read books are all talented!"

Qi Tian was sweating heavily. He had only attended private school for five years, and he had learned a little of the Four Books and Five Classics. How could he be so capable?However, the future self went to university, um, it is equivalent to the juren of this era, but we will also be able to do earthwork infrastructure and play with cement concrete.

Suddenly, the hull made a big turn, instantly causing Qi Tian and Gouzi to roll onto the floor.The kettle on the iron stove on the fixed shelf turned over, and the hot water splashed, making the two of them grin.

The two hurriedly packed up and hurried up the upper deck.

The three ships they escaped were heading south, and now in addition to the three Zheng family ships that had been following closely behind, six or seven Zheng family fleets suddenly came in from the northwest of the flank.At this time, they were going around an arc, trying to come over in front to block their way of fleeing south.

Cao Xiong stood on the midship console, roaring loudly as the sailor adjusted the sails, slightly to the east, in order to leave the enemies coming from the northwest before they approached.And hope to rely on the speed of the boat that is not slow, drag it until night, and then take advantage of the cover of the night to get rid of the other party.

By the afternoon of Shen Shi (15-17 pm), Cao Xiong and other three ships, by constantly adjusting their direction, barely kept a distance of a mile or two from the chasing ships, but the course had shifted from the previous southwest to the southeast. .This means that it is getting farther and farther away from places such as Annan Champaign for shore-based supplies.

Cao Xiong held a monocular, and from time to time, he observed the boundless ocean in front of him, as well as the Zheng family's fleet approaching from the northwest.The open sea is the least likely to be surrounded by the enemy, unless the opponent has an absolute number of ships that can surround you.However, the sea is also the most difficult to get rid of the enemy, especially during the day.

"Dangdang..." The lookout on the mast suddenly sounded the gong, and the signal flag in his hand kept waving downwards.

"What the hell are you afraid of!" Cao Xiong raised his monocular and looked at the two ships that suddenly appeared in front of him, and they were large sailing warships.Through the monocular, you can see that the people on the ship are busy coming and going, and they seem to be preparing for battle.

"Turn to the southeast." Cao Xiong roared, "Hit the flag and greet the other two boats. If there is a battle later, don't fight, run as fast as you can! Damn, this is to kill as much as possible! !"
