Daming Haikou

Because right now they are turning around and starting to head north, the sea is blowing southeast wind, which is very favorable for sailing, so after the ship turns around and goes north, the speed of sailing is much faster than when going south, and there is no need to By constantly adjusting the sails to catch the wind, you can basically maintain the sailing direction. Otherwise, the ship will rely on these few people to operate it, and the constant adjustment of the sails alone can exhaust them all!

In addition, God seems to be more helpful. Although there are more frequent typhoons at sea this season, they have never encountered any typhoons when they came out this time. It caused too much trouble, on the contrary, it also brought some heat from the sea, so that the people on board could feel some coolness, and the wind and waves on the sea were basically in a relatively stable state.

In addition, after they turned around and returned to the voyage, Liu Laoliu considered that there were too few people on board at the moment, and they might not be able to resist if they encountered pirates again, so he deliberately chose an infrequent route based on his experience. In the case of no major deviation, it effectively avoids some waters where pirates often appear.

So under such favorable circumstances, the people on the boat were lucky. After traveling all the way, when the boat arrived at noon on the fourth day, they followed Liu Laoliu's instructions and drove the boat back to Funing Prefecture the outer sea area.

Yu Xiaotian has a relatively good understanding of the terrain and island conditions along the coast of Fujian. There are many islands along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, scattered all over the coast. This is also the reason why there are many pirates along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong in successive dynasties. It is difficult to effectively control so many islands along the coast. Many islands are actually in a state of enclaves. Pirates take advantage of this convenient condition to take advantage of the opportunity to control some islands that are difficult for the imperial government to monitor effectively. They occupy these islands and rely on these For their lair, the pirates sailed out to sea to plunder.

In the Ming Dynasty, Funing Prefecture actually governed Fu'an City, Ningde City, and Xiapu County in later generations. There were many islands along the coast of Xiapu County and Ningde. The control of the island is also very weak. It is not very difficult for people like Liu Laoliu's old brother to find an island to settle on the coast.

Under the guidance of Liu Laoliu, the boat moved slowly along the coastline, and finally saw an island in the distance. Liu Laoliu excitedly pointed at the island and shouted to Xiaotian: "Look, brother, the one in front That's it! We're finally home!"

After Yu Xiaotian heard Liu Laoliu's shout, he immediately rushed to the bow of the ship with big strides, looking into the distance.

After seeing the sea for so many days in a row, the people on the boat have long been visually fatigued, and they have long turned a blind eye to the magnificence and beautiful scenery of the sea. Now after hearing Liu Laoliu's shout, everyone is a little excited. Even Li Jizi and Hu Cheng, who were unwilling, seemed a little excited, and leaned out of the ship's side, looking in the direction of Liu Laoliu's finger.

A black dot appeared in front of everyone's eyes. From a distance, one could tell that it was indeed a small island. As the boat moved forward, the small island began to gradually enlarge in everyone's eyes.

When the boat sailed nearby, Yu Xiaotian saw that the island was really small. It was about two kilometers long from north to south, and only about one mile wide from east to west. It was a long and narrow island. The two ends are high, and the terrain in the middle is low, but the highest altitude is only about [-] meters by visual inspection. Standing on the highest point, you can overlook the whole island, and most of the island is covered with shrubs, and many seabirds live on the island. superior.

Looking towards the island from the boat, from their point of view, probably because of the high ground, they couldn't see any villages on the island, but it seems that the size of the island is enough to feed dozens of people. It was indeed a quite secluded place, so Yu Xiaotian immediately became happy.

Under the command of Liu Laoliu, the boat began to adjust the sails and turn the rudder, and headed towards the island. It could be seen that Liu Laoliu must have come to this island often before, and he was familiar with the island's terrain, so he quickly directed Hu Cheng to drive the boat Approached the island.

Finally, the ship approached the southeast corner of the island, where Yu Xiaocai saw a small bay. The protruding part of the island protrudes into the sea, just forming an encircling shape, enclosing a piece of water into the island. There is a waterway for boats to enter and dock on the shore.

This small water bay is very small, and only two or three ships of their size can be docked. If the ships are bigger, it will be difficult to sail into the small water bay.

Once the boat sailed into the waterway, the people on the boat quickly lowered the sails. Both Liu Tong and Yu Xiaotian picked up the long poles and stood on both sides of the ship's side. From time to time, according to Liu Laoliu's call, they used the poles to support the shore. The reefs are in case the ship runs aground on the reef. After a lot of tossing, the ship enters the bay, and then turns around to find that the sea can no longer be seen from here. It is really a pretty good hiding place, but it is a pity that the island The trees are relatively low, and once someone climbs to the heights of the island, they can easily find the boats in the bay, which is also a fly in the ointment.

But for Xiaotian, being able to temporarily find such a place to stay is enough for him. As for the future, we can only talk about it in the future. Too picky about anything.

Liu Laoliu called this island Xiaohuangdao. Yu Xiaotian's descendants have never heard of this small island with this name. Either he didn't know it, or it might be that this island was in the old time and space where he was. The name has been changed, but Yu Xiaotian can roughly judge that this place should be in the southeast sea of ​​Xiapu County based on the things he inquired from Liu Laoliu along the way. It is relatively close to the land, and there should be many islands around. But he really couldn't guess which island it should be.

Just as their boat was docking, Yu Xiaotian saw some figures appearing on the seashore more than two miles north of the island from the bow of the boat, and then a small sailboat was pushed into the sea by the people on the island. Quickly raised the sails.

Liu Laoliu limped to Yu Xiaotian's side, and said with a smile: "There are pirates coming and going in this area from time to time, and some old brothers on the island have a small boat. Once they find a boat coming, they rush into the water to avoid it. They I don’t know it’s me who’s coming over now, after a while, just say hello, and they’ll come over!”

Just after the boat was stable, Li Yuzi threw an anchor into the sea with great difficulty, then jumped off the boat actively, took the cable thrown to him by Yu Xiaotian, dragged it to the seashore, and coiled it forcefully on a protruding piece on the shore. On top of the raised columnar reef, the boat is firmly on the shore.

The people on the island have been watching them. When they saw that there were not many people on board and they didn't look like pirates, they also pulled back their small sailboat, returned to the shore, and slowly moved towards the small boat vigilantly. Shuiwan walked over, but it could be seen that they were still quite nervous. They all had hoes and harpoons in their hands, obviously wanting to defend themselves at any time.

"Horse face! Is that you kid? It's me! I'm Liu Laoliu! Why don't you hurry up and help me get off the boat? Where's Liu Wang? Why didn't you see that kid?" Regardless of age, Liu Laoliu He was a little older, but his eyes were quite good. He recognized a person on the shore from a distance, put his hands next to his mouth, and yelled loudly.

After hearing Liu Laoliu's yelling, those people on the shore immediately relaxed a lot, and ran towards the boat one after another.

Only then did Yu Xiaotian see clearly that there were more than a dozen people coming from the island, among them were four or five older people, and the rest were about seven or eight young people who were younger, each of them seemed a little excited.

With the help of Yu Xiaotian, Liu Tong and Hu Cheng, a springboard was quickly lowered from the boat, and Liu Laoliu limped off the springboard with the help of Yu Xiaotian, and greeted the group of people.

One of the old men with a long face walked over quickly, grabbed Liu Laoliu by the arm and said in surprise, "Lao Liu! Why are you here at this time? Why are you lame? Is something wrong?"

Liu Laoliu shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's a long story! I'll talk about it later, you go on board first, unload the sails, and fasten the boat!"

While talking, Liu Laoliu grabbed the man he called Ma Lian and whispered a few words, Ma Lian's expression changed slightly, and he immediately waved to the young people who followed him to come over, and gave them some instructions in a low voice.

After everyone heard this, they immediately boarded the boat to help lower the sails, and then fastened the boat to the shore. Yu Xiaotian followed Liu Laoliu and listened carefully. It turned out that Liu Laoliu was worried that after they disembarked, Hu Chenghe Li Zongzi was dishonest and took the opportunity to sail the boat away from here, so Ma Lian let the young people here control the boat first, so that even if Li Zongzi and Hu Cheng had any ideas, they couldn't leave the island up.

After seeing that the people on the island had controlled the boat, Liu Laoliu took Yu Xiaotian and a few old brothers to a place a little farther on the shore, pointed at Yu Xiaotian and introduced to them: "This It's brother Yu! It's my new little brother on the boat!

If it weren't for this younger brother Yu who was righteous and desperate to save each other, I'm afraid my life would have been thrown into the sea this time!I will never see my brothers again! "

Liu Laoliu's old brothers heard this and looked at Yu Xiaotian's posture. They didn't dare to underestimate Yu Xiaotian. They immediately clasped their fists to thank Xiaotian.But looking at Yu Xiaotian's hair, everyone's eyes are still a bit puzzled. In this era, except for monks, no one would shave their hair so short. After a quick look, they feel that Yu Xiaotian looks a bit like Liaodong. Jiannu Tartars, but Jiannu Tartars all have pigtails on the back of their heads, but Yu Xiaotian doesn't wear braids. However, it is inconvenient for everyone to ask Yu Xiaotian's origin and identity at this moment, but quickly ask Liu What happened to the sixth child.

Liu Laoliu went on to say: "This time we went to Macao with the boat, but our boat met a man from Haiyaozi in the north of Nan'ao. The third child of Haiyaozi took a boat and caught up with our boat. I want to fight with those guys, but the owner of the ship was killed on the spot by the pirate's gunfire. The pirate boarded the ship and killed most of the people on the ship. They also planned to drive us all to death. I was going to jump into the sea to escape, but I was shot by a pirate's arrow in my ass!

Fortunately, my brother saw that I was injured, so he tried his best to stay and save the rest of us. He also killed the third son of Haiyaozi, and killed all the pirates who jumped over, scaring away the pirates The boat that saved our lives!

No, my brother Yu personally healed my wound, and within a few days, the arrow wound on my buttocks has healed almost completely!Brother Yu is my savior Liu Laoliu! "

Yu Xiaotian hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't dare to do it! It's all because Uncle Six is ​​benevolent to me first, otherwise, I wouldn't do it! This is what I should do! Anyone would do it!"

When everyone heard that Yu Xiaotian actually killed the third son of Haiyaozi, and also killed all the pirates who jumped to help, everyone had to look at Xiaotian with admiration, and they dared not neglect him. Brother hurriedly greeted Yu Xiaotian once again.
