Daming Haikou

Crazy Meng jumped into the waist-deep water before the boat reached the shore, staggered to the shore, waved his hands and shouted to everyone on the opposite shore: "Things are not good! Just now I took people to test the water at sea. Suddenly, I saw thick smoke rising from the sky over Xiaohuangdao, so I leaned a little closer, only to find that our former village on Xiaohuangdao was on fire, and the smoke was billowing!

Don't think about it, the government must have sent troops to chase us down, and set fire to our village on Xiaohuangdao first!Helmsman, what do you think we should do? "

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian also felt his heart tense, and only then did he realize that it was a risky decision for them to choose Dahuang Island as a temporary place to stay.

Xiaohuang Island is only a dozen nautical miles away from Dahuang Island. This distance is close to the vastness of the sea, but they chose to hide on Dahuang Island. If the officers and soldiers have some ideas , Come to Dahuang Island and walk around casually, and you will probably find them.

In this case, with their current manpower and level of force, if they want to fight against the officers and soldiers who came to encircle them, it can basically be said that they are looking for death. As long as there are ten or twenty professional soldiers, they can be easily killed.

So Yu Xiaotian also became nervous immediately, and wanted to take people out to sea to escape now, but he turned his head to look at the brig whose mast had just been removed by them, and was immediately discouraged.

It is a little more convenient to remove the mast, but it is not easy to press it back on immediately!They want to take a boat out to escape for a while now, so far it is impossible, and relying on that small boat can't hold their 30-odd people at all.

Just when this group of people got nervous, several bright lights flashed on the top of the mountain suddenly, and everyone became even more confused, because since they returned to Dahuang Island, as soon as Yu Xiaotian took over the control, he immediately In the name of safety, a lookout post was placed on the top of a hill by the coast at the beginning of the shift.

Standing on the top of this hill, you can clearly see the sea surface in several directions around Dahuang Island. As long as a ship enters the vicinity of Dahuang Island, the sentry on the top of the mountain can quickly spot these with the naked eye. The boats provide a certain amount of preparation time for the island.

If the person on duty has a telescope in his hand, he can see farther and provide an earlier warning time for the island.

This time, it was obvious that Yu Xiaotian's arrangement had worked. The lookout post on the top of the mountain must have spotted a boat approaching Dahuang Island, so they used a small copper mirror to reflect the sunlight to warn them.

"What should I do? It must be a warship from the government army! What should I do?" Ma asked Xiaotian one after another, rubbing his hands anxiously.

At this time, the gap between people is revealed. Although it cannot be said that Ma Lian and the others have never seen the world, their psychological quality is obviously not good. The officers and soldiers have a natural sense of fear. Under normal circumstances, they don't dare to fight against the officers and soldiers, so except for the horse face, many other people are also a little panicked.

"Why don't we get on the boat and go out to avoid the limelight!" Li Gouzi said in a panic.

As soon as Yu Xiaotian heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said: "Absolutely not! Now the mast of the big ship has been dismantled, and the ballast stone has also been moved down. It is impossible to go to sea for a while. This small boat can only hold a dozen people. , Is it possible to leave all the women on the island? Don't mention such things in the future! The big guys are now one, and it is right to live and die together!

Don't panic!Pull the boat to the deepest part of the bay to hide first, and the rest of the people will hide in the caves!Uncle Ma, Uncle Heitou, Uncle Meng, you guys are ready guys!If the officers and soldiers landed on the island and found us, it would be a big deal to fight them to the death today!Don't delay, let's do it together! "

Following Yu Xiaotian's instructions from the people on the island, the two boats were dragged to a hidden shallow bay in the bay by everyone's concerted efforts. It is really not easy to find them after the mast of the big ship is removed.

As for more hiding, they had no time to do it. The two young men on duty on the top of the mountain held the small bronze mirror and began to flash downwards one after another, which meant that they saw a ship moving rapidly. Close to Big Huang Island.

After simply tidying up the beach, and dragging some odds and ends on the beach to the woods on the island to hide, Yu Xiaotian led everyone quickly back to a cave halfway up the mountain, and began nervously preparing for the battle.

The location of this cave is a hiding place chosen by Yu Xiaotian and the others in advance. It is relatively hidden and overlooks the sea outside the bay. At the same time, the most important thing is that there is only one road leading to this cave, and the terrain is relatively dangerous. , can be regarded as a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is more conducive to sticking to it.

So after Yu Xiaotian returned to the island, he used it as their temporary lair. Judging from the traces left here, this cave has also been used by people before, and there are still a lot of things discarded in the cave. Miscellaneous, obviously someone has lived here, maybe it was the place where the former pirates settled down, but now it is considered the lair of their sea wolves.

A large blunderbuss was carried out of the cave by all the people. The muzzle of the blunderbuss was fixed to point to the path leading to the cave. They placed them at the entrance of the cave, including a limited number of muskets and three-eyed blunderbuss, and they also invited them out to start loading gunpowder.

Yu Xiaotian looked down at the bay below, from here he could see the boat hidden in the bay, but because of the angle, the boat was hidden there, even standing on the top of the mountain, it was not easy to find, so Zhao The small bay that Mazi led people to find is indeed a relatively good hiding place.

Yu Xiaotian turned his head and looked at the subordinates around him. Now he has no confidence in these subordinates. Although they have already embarked on this path, this group of people does not have a strong sense of obedience. Xiaotian also didn't have time to practice them, so if the officers and soldiers found them and asked him to take this group of people down to fight with the officers and soldiers, he could guarantee that they would disintegrate immediately if they couldn't last for 3 minutes.

So right now they can only make use of the advantages of the terrain first, and reckon that they can have a fight.

Looking at the chaotic group of subordinates, jumping up and down one by one, they don't know what they should do. No one tells them, so they mess up by themselves first. They made arrangements, some were in charge of holding the bow, some were in charge of the firecrackers, some were in charge of looking after the bowl and muzzle, and the rest were ready with long spears and short knives for melee combat.

In short, after all the work, it was considered that this group of people was stabilized, and they stayed where they should be.

And Yu Xiaotian turned around and entered the cave, walked to the deepest point, came to Lan'er who was lying on a small bed, and squatted down.

Since Erya returned to the island, after asking Liu Laoliu for instructions, she officially changed her name to Ruolan. Erya likes the name Yu Xiaotian gave her very much. Anyone should call him Laner or Ruolan, and no one is allowed to call her Erya again!

Now everyone on the island has been clearly informed by Liu Laoliu that he has betrothed Erya to Yu Xiaotian. Although those younger generations who have a crush on Erya are greatly disappointed, these guys themselves After weighing it in their hearts, they could only be very discouraged, acquiescing to this fact, who made them no matter what they were talking about, they could not compare with their helmsman?Therefore, no one expressed any objection to this. After all, marriage in this era is still the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker. Liu Laoliu, the father, has the right to choose a son-in-law, and no one can say no.

After Laner (Erya) returned to the island, Yu Xiaotian handed her over to Ma Lian and Li Gouzi's wife to take care of her. The wounds have been carefully cleaned, treated with medicine, and bandaged.

At the beginning, they were still a bit puzzled. Many injuries like Lan'er were in hidden places on the body. It stands to reason that the people who went to rescue Lan'er this time were a group of old men. There were no women on board, so who could do it for Lan'er? How did you treat these wounds so well?

So they carefully asked Lan'er tentatively. Lan'er was so ashamed at the time that she wanted to find a crack in the ground, she hesitated and refused to answer, but she still faintly revealed her intentions, which made the two elders The woman guessed that Lan'er's injury should be handled by Yu Xiaotian himself.

After Lan'er's injury returned to the island, she didn't recover as quickly as Yu Xiaotian imagined, although Ma Mian and Li Gouzi's wife also took good care of her, and according to what Yu Xiaotian said, Carefully cleaned up the wound medicine for Lan'er, but for some reason, Lan'er's injury didn't heal. As a last resort, they could only turn to Xiaotian for help. Anyway, now Lan'er is also Yu Xiaotian's unmarried wife. It's not a big deal for Yu Xiaotian to look at her body!

Although Lijiao in the Ming Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is not as important to the ordinary people along the coast as those in the upper class of society.

Yu Xiaotian went to take care of Lan'er when he had time these few days, and after dismissing everyone, he personally applied medicine to Lan'er's wound. It was strange to say that Lan'er's injury did not improve under the care of the two aunts, but Once in Yu Xiaotian's hands, she immediately sees light, but once she is handed over to her two aunts to take care of her, she will repeat it again, and in the end, her two aunts can only let go and change Lan'er's medicine. Handed over to Yu Xiaotian to deal with it completely, Lan'er's injury is only getting better day by day.

In the past two days, Lan'er was basically able to go to the ground for some activities, and her complexion became much better.

How could Yu Xiaotian fail to guess Lan'er's intentions, in fact, through changing Lan'er's dressing, he has seen that Lan'er's injuries did not recur because of two aunts changing her dressing, but she was looking for an excuse, Just let Yu Xiaotian spend more time with her, the little girl's mind is actually that simple, after Yu Xiaotian smiled secretly, she simply saw through it, and took some time every day to accompany Lan'er, anyway, facing her every day Looking at those stinky guys, it is also a good relaxation for him to find an excuse to spend a while in private with Er Ya.
