Hello 1983

  Chapter 598 New home

  In the early morning, the sky has just dawned, the sun has not yet risen from the sea level, and there is silence on the deck of the passenger ship.

  The entire sea seems to still be immersed in a sound sleep, and it is quiet.

  But on the deck, there is already a figure moving.

  Liu Qingshan jogged for a while, and then looked at the band four standing side by side behind him:

   "The reason why my breath is long and powerful is not because I have had special training in vocal music, but because I have been practicing martial arts with my master since a few years ago."

   "It's just that without the master's consent, you can't teach martial arts privately. I can only teach you the Zhuang Gong. This is mainly related to breathing, and it must be of some help to you."

   "Thank you Mr. Liu!"

  The four nodded in unison. They had seen it yesterday, and of course they admired it in their hearts.

  Liu Qingshan followed and encouraged: "The method of stance is the most important thing to persevere. It needs to be practiced every morning. Don't slack off for a day. As time goes by, the effect will appear. Remember it."

  He is worried that young people are impatient and always want to achieve it overnight, so he reminds him first.

   As far as he himself is concerned, he has persisted for nearly four years before he achieved some success.

   "Mr. Liu, don't worry, we will persevere."

  The lead singer Huang has a resolute face. He knows in his heart that if his voice can increase the penetrating power like Mr. Liu, then his singing will reach a new height.

  Liu Qingshan nodded, and stopped talking, and began to teach the group of four to stand up.

  Teach the posture first, and then the breathing method, and the latter is the key. Without this breathing method, standing is useless.

   After a few people comprehend it, the rest is hard work, and it all depends on personal efforts and talents.

  Because he only stands on the ground and does not practice martial arts, so there are no rules like boy martial arts.

  Liu Qingshan observes, among the four, Yi Jiaju has the best understanding and the strongest willpower.

  The other three stood for a while, then slumped on the deck. Only he was still struggling to support himself.

  Success is no fluke, no sweat, no gain.

  After the morning exercise, the red sun in the east jumped out of the sea. In an instant, I felt that the golden light covered the sea, and it was incomparably magnificent.

   "Life should be like this, everyone should bloom the light in their own life!"

  Liu Qingshan spit out the emotion in his heart and went to the restaurant.

  There is a dedicated restaurant on each floor of the passenger ship. The breakfast is not bad, with bread and milk, steamed buns and porridge, and most of the dishes are fish and shrimp.

   After breakfast, Liu Qingshan will read and study in his room, chat with everyone in the afternoon, and continue to read and study in the evening. Life on the ship is actually very regular.

   While communicating with these veterans and militiamen, he got to know each other better, and also discovered many people with special talents.

  In this way, day after day, the passenger ship finally arrived in the Gulf of Aden after a long voyage of more than half a month.

  I think back then, as far back as the Ming Dynasty, the fleet of the Sanbao eunuch's voyage to the West had arrived here.

  The furthest one even went to the east coast of Africa, leaving a strong mark in the history of navigation.

   Far away, seeing the looming land in the south, the people on the boat couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: It's finally here!

  A long sea voyage is definitely not a pleasant thing.

  On the coast, I don’t know if there is a suitable deep-water pier. Large ships can’t dock at all, so I can only put down a few small boats and send people to the shore to deliver letters.

  As soon as the boat was put down, there were several speedboats on the sea, riding the wind and waves, and it turned out that they were attracting pirates.

"Oh oh oh!"

  The pirates on the speedboat raised their rifles and cheered.

  They have already seen the dense crowd on the deck, there are thousands of people, and now it's time to make a big deal.

  Even if a person’s ransom is five hundred dollars, how much it is worth, you have to calculate carefully.

   "China...china!"

  Standing on the boat, Ma Laosan held a loudspeaker in his hand and yelled in English: "Our people are all our own people, Dalud, we are the guests of Chief Adu of the Darud tribe!"

  Dalud is a tribe of the Samarai tribe, and the tribe of Chief Adu belongs to this tribe, so Ma Laosan reported their names.

  The official language here in Liland is not English, but the language of the nation and Arabic, but most capable people can speak English.

  The speedboat speeding under the big boat gradually stopped, and it seemed a little disappointed. Although they did not belong to the tribe of Chief Adu, they all belonged to the same tribe.

   And they also went to Chief Adu to exchange some daily necessities, knowing the existence of those Chinese people.

   "Ask them to help lead the way there, it is best to find a port where the boat can stop." Liu Qingshan instructed Ma Laosan.

  Passenger ships are not only equipped with people, but also some necessary living materials, which need to be transported there.

   Ma Laosan sent several retired navy officers to the small boat, approached a speedboat, and first delivered two rolls of cotton cloth and a box of violet soap, and the group of pirates happily led the way ahead.

  The speedboat didn’t run very far, and was soon picked up by a large sailing ship. Then, the sailing ship slowly sailed in front of the wind and waves, and the large passenger ship could only follow behind at a slow pace.

   "Don't say it, it seems quite majestic to let the pirate ship open the way."

   Everyone was talking with great interest.

   "Shouldn't there be skull flags on all the pirate ships, there are also three-legged and one-eyed pirates, and a big parrot that can swear on the shoulder, why can't you see it?"

  These are probably because I have read too many novels, and I have a sense of the picture in my head...

   After advancing for several hours, the pirate ship in front stopped, because two speedboats appeared in front, and here, we reached Chief Adu's territory.

   After the two sides communicated, the speedboat came towards the passenger ship. Ma Laosan looked down on the side of the ship, and immediately waved his arms vigorously:

   "Evya, it's me, I'm back!"

  The young man in front of the speedboat also waved upwards: "Ma, I thought you would never come back."

  Brother Ma laughed: "Why, I promised to bring you footballs and basketballs!"

   While speaking, this guy flew up and kicked a football directly, but his footwork was a bit smelly, and it fell on the sea tens of meters away from the speedboat, rising and falling with the waves.

  The speedboat quickly chased after him. Evoya leaned over and fished the football out of the water, then held it in his arms, wiped the sea water on it vigorously with the front of his robe, and smiled brightly on his dark face.

   "Are you sure he's a pirate?"

  Wang Gong asked Ma Laosan in disbelief.

   "Pirates are not as scary as imagined, ordinary people here are still very well-behaved." Ma Laosan explained, and then called Evoya to lead the way.

   At a place a few nautical miles away from the shore, the large passenger ship dared not move forward and had to stop.

   Fortunately, Evera quickly summoned some fishing boats and other miscellaneous small boats, and began to transport the passengers on the big boat to the shore.

  He was down-to-earth again, suddenly and a little uncomfortable, feeling a little top-heavy.

   "I feel like I can't walk anymore." Captain Liang trotted a few steps on the beach, then staggered and threw himself into the sand.

   When he got up, he held a brightly colored shell in his hand, and yelled: "It's so beautiful, it's the first time I've picked up a shell!"

  For a person who has been living on land, he has never seen anything like a shell except for the clam oil shells he bought to wipe his hands.

   But the shell was still alive, the opening and closing of the two shells directly clamped his finger, and he couldn't shake it off.

   Captain Liang was so angry that he cursed: "I'll treat you like a drink in a while!"

   Ma Laosan on the side quickly reminded: "People here don't drink alcohol, let's drink secretly. Don't invite locals to drink together."

   "Team, team!"

  Not far away, the old squad leader shouted, so the people who disembarked quickly assembled according to their own squads.

  Although there is a bit of fatigue on the face, it is more excited.

  Zhang Long began to assign tasks: "The first three teams will pick up the goods on the shore, and the last three teams will transport the goods on small boats, and dump all the supplies first."

  So, everyone started working together and started to get busy.

  Liu Qingshan also got off the boat and came to the shore. On the coast not far away, there are rows of coconut trees, which looks like a tropical island scene.

   Not far away, dust suddenly flew up, but there were more than a dozen donkey carts rushing forward.

   Before the donkey cart came to a complete stop, he saw a person jumping off the cart and running towards this side. It was Xiao Wu.

   "Thank goodness, Aoyama, you are finally here!"

  Xiao Wu hugged everyone one by one. This kid seems to be a little tanned, his skin color is a little wheat-colored, and he looks healthier.

  He also wore a loose robe, which was similar to the locals' dress.

   "Yo, you guys are doing as the Romans do, don't you still want to find a local girl?" Liu Qingshan looked at this guy, he didn't lose any arms or legs, but he was much more energetic than before.

  Xiao Wu laughed happily: "I want to become a citizen here, and I can marry several wives."

   After playing and getting close for a while, Xiao Wu looked at the mountains of things piled up on the bank, and quickly sent people back to call more ox carts and donkey carts.

  As for motor vehicles, don't even think about it, except for the military.

  So, everyone turned into little ants and began to work hard to move goods: food, medicine, daily utensils, including pots and pans, which is basically equivalent to a big move.

   And Evoya led the pirates, and also helped with the ups and downs.

  Liu Qingshan noticed for a while, these people's hands and feet are quite regular, and none of those small things like soap, wood combs and plastic jars secretly hid them in their arms.

   This in itself is at odds with their teachings, not only against drinking, but also against stealing.

  As for robbery by pirates, that’s obvious robbery, not stealing. Pirates do things, how can you say stealing?

   "Friend, can you give me this little mirror as a reward?"

  A young black boy ran over, holding a palm-sized mirror in his hand.

"of course can."

  Liu Qingshan wanted to reach out to pat his head, but he didn't know if it would be a taboo, so he retracted his hand again.

  The black kid immediately smiled and ran to work again.

  With his precedent, one after another, some people came over with their favorite things to ask.

  Liu Qingshan simply asked Ma Laosan to announce: After finishing the work, everyone can choose one thing they like.

  While busy with work, there is dust flying in the distance. Dozens of ox carts and donkey carts are coming, followed by hundreds of big camels, which can be described as mighty.

   I don’t know what Efuya and the others said to the later fellows. These guys burst into cheers immediately, and then rushed to carry things to the car.

   There are also those camels, which are worthy of being the boats of the desert, and they can carry things no less than cars.

   "They won't take all their things to their own homes, will they?" Captain Liang was a little worried.

  Xiao Wu waved his hand: "Don't worry, they are very disciplined, but Evoya and the others said just now that each person should give one thing, I hope they don't choose those big ones."

  It was not until the evening that the cargo on the passenger ship was cleared, and most of it was still piled up on the beach. It was estimated that it would take two days to transport it.

  Leave a team of people here to guard the goods, and the rest of the large force went to the temporary station more than ten miles away.

   "It seems to be a bit dry here." Everyone walked, looking at the surrounding scenery curiously.

  For them, this strange place is full of novelty.

  Especially the sandy soil under our feet is very unaccustomed to everyone. It seems that it is not easy to grow crops in such a dry land.

   "Let's see if we can drill a well. If we can't irrigate, we won't be able to grow crops here."

  Wang Gong discussed with several engineers and came to this conclusion.

  Everyone's excitement when they first came was immediately replaced by worry: They were all farmers in their hometown. Without land, they lost their foundation and lost the meaning of coming here.

   "The groundwater here should still be very rich." Liu Qingshan had some understanding and quickly reassured people, otherwise, so many people would not have been transferred here.

   And when he was purchasing, he had already got a set of drilling equipment.

  Everyone was relieved a little, and the atmosphere of the team became relaxed and happy again.

   "Wow, what kind of bird is that, it's so big!" Someone started yelling.

   "That's an ostrich. The eggs are so big that I can't eat one in a meal." Xiao Wu is relatively familiar with this place, and he is a bit proud and boastful.

  In the distance, there are a few ostriches pacing leisurely on the sandy ground, with their long necks looking curiously at them from time to time.

  Everyone also began to discuss excitedly: "It's so big, if you catch one, it's enough to feed several people."

   "Birds can fly, how can they be so easy to catch?"

   "Ostriches don't seem to be able to fly?"

   Some people really didn't believe in evil, and flew over there, only to see those ostriches striding forward with long legs, leaving people far behind with ease.

  Although they can't fly, they run fast.

  The ostrich chaser ran back dejectedly, everyone couldn't help laughing, Liu Qingshan also said with a smile:

   "When the time comes, tell everyone that these local wild animals cannot be hunted and killed casually. We are not here to cause damage."

  After walking for more than ten miles, the team in front stopped. This is the temporary station that Ma Laosan asked the locals to help choose.

   Looking around, it is desolate, only sparse vegetation grows on the ground, and they are all relatively drought-tolerant species.

   "It's more than a hundred miles away, and it's all our territory. Let's set up camp here today. If it's not suitable, we'll find a place later."

  Xiao Wu yelled, and everyone started to unload the goods.

  It was getting dark soon, and the goods by the sea could only be transported tomorrow. The local aborigines each chose a gadget they liked, such as soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc., and left happily.

  Xiao Wu has already told them that he will come back tomorrow to help and give gifts.

  The new immigrants all looked around: this will be our home from now on!

  But this opening seems to be a bit difficult, poor and white, what do you want?
