Chapter 24 Little Yellow Island

Because at present, they turn around and begin to return to the north, and the southeast wind is blowing on the sea, which is very beneficial to the ship. Therefore, after turning north, the sailing speed of the ship is much faster than when going south, and there is no need to constantly adjust the sails to the wind, so they can basically maintain the direction of navigation. Otherwise, the ship will rely on these people to operate, and just constantly adjusting the sails can make them all tired!

In addition, God seems to be more helpful. Although typhoons on the sea are relatively frequent this season, they have never encountered any typhoons this time. Even if there are some wind and rains, they are not big. Occasionally, one or two light rains not only did not cause them too much trouble, but also brought some dry heat on the sea. Let the people on the ship feel more or less cool, and the wind and waves on the sea are basically relatively stable.

In addition, after they turned back, Liu Laoliu considered that there were too few people on the ship at present. Once they encountered pirates again, they were afraid that they would not be able to resist, so according to his experience, he deliberately chose an unfared route, which not only ensured the route would not deviate greatly, but also effectively avoided it. Some waters frequented by pirates,

So under such favorable circumstances, the people on the ship were lucky. On this journey, by noon on the fourth day of the voyage, they followed Liu Laoliu's guidance and sailed the ship back to the outer sea area of Funing Prefecture.

Yu Xiaotian has a 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 in the coastal areas, which is also the reason why there are many pirates along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong in past dynasties. It is difficult for the government to carry out so many islands along the coast. Effective control, many islands are actually in an enclave state. Pirates conveniently use this convenient condition to control some islands that are difficult for court officials and soldiers to effectively monitor, and stay on these islands, relying on these pirates as their nests to drive boats to sea for plunder.

The actual jurisdiction of Funing Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty is Fu'an City, Ningde City and Xiapu County. There are many islands along the coast of Xiapu County and Ningde. In fact, Funing Prefecture's control over these islands is also weak in this era. People like Liu Laoliu's old brothers want to find them on the coast. It is not very difficult to settle on an island.

Under the guidance of Liu Laoliu, the ship slowly moved outside the coastline and finally saw an island from afar. Liu Laoliu excitedly pointed to the island and shouted to Xiaotian, "Brother, look, the island in front of you is there! We are finally home!"

After hearing Liu Laoliu's shout, Yu Xiaotian immediately strode to the bow of the boat and looked into the distance.

Looking at the sea for so many days in a row, the people on the ship have long been tired of vision, and they have long turned a blind eye to the magnificent and beautiful scenery with the sea. Now after hearing Liu Laoliu's shouts, everyone is a little excited, even the unwilling Li Yuzi and Hu Cheng He seemed a little excited and leaned out of the starboard one after another and looked in the direction of Liu Laoliu's finger.

A black spot appeared in front of everyone. From a distance, it can be seen that it was indeed an island. As the ships marched, the island began to gradually enlarge in the eyes of everyone.

When the boat went near, Yu Xiaotian saw that the area of this small island was indeed not large. It grew about two kilometers from north to south, but only about one mile wide from east to west. It was a narrow island with high north and south ends of the island and low terrain in the middle, but the highest altitude was only about 100 meters. Standing at the most The whole island can be overlooked from a high place, and most of the island is covered with shrubs, and many seabirds live on the island.

Looking at the island on the boat, from their point of view, probably because of the highlands, they could not see any village on the island, but it seemed that there was not much problem in the area of the island to feed dozens of people. It was indeed a quite secluded place, so Yu Xiaotian suddenly became happy.

Under the command of Liu Laoliu, the ship began to turn its sails and sail towards the island. It can be seen that Liu Laoliu must have often come to the island before. He was familiar with the terrain of the island and soon commanded Hu Cheng to drive close to the island.

Finally, the ship approached the southeast corner of the island. Here, Yu Xiaotian saw a small bay. The protruding part of the island stretched into the sea, just forming an encircling shape, encircling a piece of water into the island. There was a waterway for ships to enter and dock on the shore.

This small bay is very small and can only dock two or three ships of their size. If the boats are larger, it will be difficult to enter the small bay.

Once the ship entered the waterway, the people on the ship quickly fell off the sail. 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 greeting, they supported the reef on the shore with poles to prevent the ship from hitting the reef and stranding. After a lot of tossing, the ship entered the water bay and turned its head and found that You can no longer see the sea from here. It is really a good hiding place. Unfortunately, the trees on the island are relatively low. Once someone lands on the height of the island, it is easy to find the boats in the bay, which is also a shortcoming.

However, for Xiaotian, he is very satisfied that he can temporarily find such a place to settle down. As for the future, he can only talk about it in the future. After all, in this era, he can finally find a down-to-earth place without allowing him to be too picky.

Liu Laoliu called this island a small yellow island. Yu Xiaotian has never heard of this island with this name. Either he doesn't know it, or it may be that the island has been renamed in the old time and space where he is located. It is nothing more than what Xiaotian inquires about from Liu Laoliu along the way, but it can be roughly judged. It should be on the southeast sea of Xiapu County, which is relatively close to the land, and there should be many islands around it, but he really can't guess which island it should be here.

Just as their ship docked, Yu Xiaotian saw some figures on the sea more than two miles north of the island at the bow. Then a small sailboat was pushed into the sea by the people on the island and quickly raised the sail.

Liu Laoliu walked to Yu Xiaotian with a lame leg and smiled, "There will be pirates in this area from time to time. Several brothers on the island have a boat. Once they find a boat coming, they quickly go into the water to prepare to hide. They don't know if I'm here now. After landing for a while, , say hello and they will come over!"

After the ship was stable, Li Yuzi threw an anchor into the sea, and then took the initiative to jump off the boat, took the rope thrown by Xiaotian to him, tow it to the seaside, and hard coiled it on a raised columnar reef on the shore, making the ship rest on the shore.

The people on the island have been observing them. When they saw that there were not many people on their boat, unlike pirates, they also pulled back their small sailboats, returned to the shore, and walked slowly towards the small bay with vigilance. However, it can be seen that they still looked nervous and had hoes in their hands. Guys such as harpoons obviously have to defend themselves at any time.

"Horse face! Is that you boy? It's me! I'm Liu Laoliu! Why don't you come here quickly and help me get off the boat? What about Liu Wang? Why didn't you see that boy?" Although Liu Laoliu looked a little older, his eyes were still quite good. He recognized a person on the shore from afar, put his hands next to his mouth and shouted loudly.

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

Yu Xiaotian saw clearly that there were more than a dozen people on the island, including four or five slightly older people, and the rest were about seven or eight younger descendants, all of whom seemed a little excited.

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

One of the long-faced old men quickly greeted him, grabbed Liu Laoliu and said in shock, "Lao Liu! Why did you come here at this time? Why are you lame? Is there something wrong?"

Liu Laoliu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's a long story! Let's talk about it later. You can get on the boat first, unload the sails, and tighten the boat!"

While talking, Liu Laoliu grabbed the man he called the horse face and whispered a few words. The horse's face changed slightly and immediately waved to the young people who followed him and whispered a few words to them.

After hearing this, everyone immediately got on the boat to help drop the sail, and then tied the ship to the shore. Yu Xiaotian followed Liu Laoliu and listened carefully. It turned out that Liu Laoliu was worried that after they got off the ship, Hu Cheng and Li Yuzi were dishonest and took the opportunity to drive the ship away from here, so he asked the descendants here to let the descendants here first. Controlling, even if Li Yuzi and Hu Cheng have any ideas, they can't leave the island.

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

If it hadn't been for my brother's righteousness and desperate rescue, I'm afraid my life would have been lost into the sea this time! I will never see my brothers again!"

Liu's old brothers listened and looked at Yu Xiaotian's posture. They didn't dare to underestimate Yu Xiaotian. They immediately thanked Xiaotian, but their attitude was quite good! However, looking at Yu Xiaotian's hair, there is still a little doubt in everyone's eyes. In this era, no one will shave their hair so short except for monks. At a glance, he feels that Yu Xiaotian is a little like a Jiannu Tatar from Liaodong, but there is a pig tail braid behind Jiannu's head, but Yu Xiaotian There are no braids, but it is not convenient for everyone to ask about Yu Xiaotian's origin and identity at this time, but quickly ask Liu Laoliu what happened to him.

Liu Laoliu continued: "This time we went to Macao with the ship, but our ship met the sea hurrid people in the north of South Australia. The third sea hurriors caught up with our ship with a boat. The owner was reluctant to bear the goods and wanted to fight with those guys. As a result, the shipowner was killed by the pirates on the spot. The pirates got on the ship and put the ship. Most of the people were killed, and they planned to kill all of us. Originally, I planned to jump into the sea and escape, but I was hit by a pirate in the buttocks!

Fortunately, when my brother saw that I was injured, he tried his best to save us, and killed the third son of the sea hali. In addition, he killed all the pirates who jumped over and frightened the pirate's boat, which saved our lives!

Well, my brother also treated this injury himself. In just a few days, the arrow wound on his buttocks was healed! Brother Yu is the lifesaver of my Liu Laoliu!"

Yu Xiaotian quickly waved his hand and said, "I dare not do it! It's all because Uncle Six is kind to me first, otherwise, I wouldn't have done this! This is what I should do! Anyone would have done this!"

When everyone heard that Yu Xiaotian actually killed the third son of the sea hali, and killed all the pirates who jumped over, so everyone had to look at Xiaotian with new eyes and did not dare to neglect him, so several Liu Laoliu's brothers quickly salute Yu Xiaotian again.

(I'm dizzy. I was suddenly distanced by the third place yesterday. I don't understand why! My wife is going to the hospital for a physical examination today, so I can only update one chapter. I'm very sorry! But at least three chapters will be updated tomorrow. In addition, the new book list will be cleared on Monday and ranked again. I hope everyone can help me rush to the top three tomorrow and book the red tickets in your hands first. Hanfeng will kneel down to thank you! Please smash the red ticket tomorrow morning, remember!

By the way, I almost forgot to give special thanks to the three friends, Libashiji, Fenglin in autumn and black-hearted men! Your support is the most basic element of the success of this book! Thank you very much!)
