Daming Haiku

Chapter 58 Preparation

Meng madman jumped into the waist-deep sea water before the boat could reach the shore, staggered to the shore, waved his hands to the people on the shore and shouted, "It's not good! Just now, I was testing the water at sea with someone. Suddenly, I saw thick smoke in the sky on the other side of Xiaohuangdao, so I leaned over a little. As a result, I found that our former village in Xiaohuangdao was burning and thick smoke was rolling!

Don't think about it, the government must have sent troops to chase and suppress us and set fire to our village on Little Yellow Island first! Helm, what do you think we should do?

After hearing this, Yu Xiaotian also felt nervous. At this time, he realized that it was a relatively risky decision for them to choose the Great Yellow Island as a temporary landing place.

The Little Yellow Island is only more than ten nautical miles away from the Great Yellow Island. This distance can be said to be close to the vastness of the sea, but they choose to hide on the Great Yellow Island. If the officers and soldiers have a little idea and come to the Great Yellow Island casually, they are likely to find them.

In this way, with their current manpower and force level, if they want to fight against the officers and soldiers who come to encircle and suppress them, it can basically be said that they are looking for death. As long as there are one or 20 professional soldiers, they can easily kill them all.

So Yu Xiaotian also became nervous and wanted to take people to sea to hide now, but he turned his head and looked at the double mast boat that had just been removed by them, and he was immediately discouraged.

It's slightly more convenient to remove the mast, but it's not easy to press it again immediately! It is unlikely so far that they want to take a boat out to escape, and that boat alone can't hold these more than 30 people.

Just as these people became nervous, a few lights suddenly flashed on the top of the mountain, so everyone was even more shocked, because since they returned to the Great Yellow Island, as soon as Yu Xiaotian took over the control, they immediately began to arrange a lookout on the top of a small mountain on the coast in the name of safety.

Standing on the top of this hill, you can clearly see the sea in several directions outside the Great Yellow Island. As long as there are ships entering the vicinity of the Great Yellow Island, the people on duty on the top of the mountain can quickly find these boats with the naked eye and provide a certain preparation time for the island.

If the person on duty still 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 played a role. The lookout on the top of the mountain must have found a ship approaching the Great Yellow Island, so it used a small bronze mirror to reflect the sunlight to warn them.

"What can I do? It must be the warship of the officers and soldiers! What should I do?" The horse rubbed his hands anxiously and asked Xiaotian one after another.

At this time, the gap between people appears. Although it can't be said that they have never seen the world, their psychological quality is obviously not good. In addition, these people living in this era have a natural sense of fear of the government and officers and soldiers. Generally speaking, they dare not follow officials. The military is against it, so in addition to the horse's 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 with a panicked face.

As soon as Yu Xiaotian heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Absolutely not! At present, the mast of the big ship has been removed, and the ballast stone has also been removed. For a moment, it can't go to sea at all. This small boat alone can only hold more than a dozen people. Is it possible to leave all the women on the island? Don't mention such words again! The big guy is now one, and it's right to live and die together!

Don't panic! First, pull the boat to the deepest part of the bay to hide, and the rest of the people will hide in the cave! Uncle Ma, Blackhead, Uncle Meng, prepare guys! Once the officers and soldiers land on the island and find us, it's okay to fight with them today! Don't delay, let's do it together!"

As the people on the island were ordered by Yu Xiaotian to do their busy work, the two boats were dragged together into a hidden shallow bay in the bay. If you look inside from the mouth of the bay, it is really not easy to find them after the mast of the two-masu ship is removed.

As for more hiding, they had no time to do it. The two descendants on the peak of the sentry now took the small bronze mirror and began to flash down one after another, which means that they saw a boat was rapidly approaching the Great Yellow Island.

After simply cleaning up the beach and dragging some bits and pieces on the beach to hide them in the forest on the island, Yu Xiaotian quickly withdrew to a cave halfway up the mountain and began to prepare nervously.

The location of this cave is a hiding place selected by Yu Xiaotian and 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 to this cave. The terrain is relatively dangerous, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is more conducive to stick to.

Therefore, after returning to the island, Yu Xiaotian used this place as their temporary nest. Judging from the traces, this cave has also been used before, and a lot of sundries have been discarded in the cave. Obviously, some people have lived here. Maybe it may be the former pirates. The place to settle down, but now it is the nest of their sea wolves.

A large bowl of gongs were carried out of the cave with great effort. The mouth of the bowl gongs was fixed to the path leading to the cave. The bows and strings of bows were hung up, and bundles of arrows were also placed at the mouth of the cave, including a limited number of poles * and three-eyed gongs, which were also invited out by them and began to fill them. Gunpowder

Yu Xiaotian looked down and looked down at the outside of the bay below. From here, you can see the boats hidden in the bay. However, because of the angle, the boat is hidden there. Even if you stand on the top of the mountain, it is not easy to find it. Therefore, the small bay that Zhao Mazi found with people at the beginning is indeed a better hiding place.

Yu Xiaotian turned his head and looked at the men around him. Now he has little confidence in these men. Although they have embarked on this road, this group of people do not have a strong sense of obedience. Yu Xiaotian does not have time to practice them, so once the officers and soldiers find them, let him Take this group of people down and fight with the officers and soldiers. He can guarantee that they will disintegrate immediately if they can't hold on for three minutes.

So at present, they can only fight by taking advantage of the terrain first.

Looking at the chaotic men, they jumped up and down and didn't know what they should do at all. No one told them, so they messed up first. Yu Xiaotian was quite helpless about this. They had to do a lot of work and arrange them well. Some were responsible for holding bows, some were responsible for fire, and some were responsible for taking care of them. The door was full of knives, and the rest of the people were ready for a hand-to-hand fight.

In a word, it was only after a good conclusion that these people were stabilized and stayed in the position they should stay one by one.

Yu Xiaotian turned into the cave, walked to the deepest part, came to Lan'er, who was lying a little **, and squatted down.

Since Erya returned to the island, she officially changed her name to Ruolan after asking Liu Laoliu for instructions. Erya likes the name given to her by Yu Xiaotian very much. After coming back these days, no matter who will call him Lan or Ruolan, 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 it has greatly disappointed those descendants who secretly love Erya, these guys can only be greatly discouraged after they have weighed it in their hearts. Who acquiesced in this fact? No matter what they are, they can't compete with their helmsman? Therefore, no one has any objection to this. After all, in this era, marriage still pays attention to the fate of parents. According to the matchmaker, Liu Laoliu, a father, has the right to choose a son-in-law.

After Lan'er (Erya) returned to the island, Yu Xiaotian gave her to Maface and Li Gouzi's wife to take care of. After looking at Lan'er's injury, they found that the wounds on Lan'er's body had been carefully cleaned up, drugged and stopped.

At the beginning, they still had some doubts. Many of the wounds like Lan'er were in very secret places on their bodies. It is reasonable that it was a group of old men who went to save Lan'er this time. There were no women on the ship. Who could treat these wounds so well for Lan'er?

So they asked Lan'er carefully. Lan'er was so ashamed that she couldn't find a crack to get in and hesitated to answer, but it still vaguely revealed her heart, which made the two old women guess that Lan'er's injury should have been handled by Yu Xiaotian.

After returning to the island, Lan'er's injury did not get better as soon as Yu Xiaotian imagined. Although Ma Qian and Li Gouzi's wife also took good care of her, and according to Yu Xiaotian, they carefully cleared Lan'er's wounds, but somehow, Lan'er's injury did not get better. They had no choice but to I can only turn to Yu Xiaotian. Anyway, now Lan'er is also Yu Xiaotian's wife. It's not a big deal to let Yu Xiaotian see her body!

Although the religion of the Ming Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is not as important as those in the upper classes of society for the flat-headed people in the coastal area.

Yu Xiaotian had time to take care of Lan'er in the past few days. After removing everyone, he personally applied medicine for Lan'er's debridement. It's strange that Lan'er's injury did not get any good under the care of two aunts, but as soon as Yu Xiaotian's hand, he immediately saw light, but as soon as he gave it to her two aunts to take care of, he would immediately repeat it. As a result, her two aunts had to let go and completely handed over the matter of changing the medicine for Lan'er to Yu Xiaotian. Lan'er's injury was only a day better.

In the past two days, Lan'er has basically been able to move on the ground and her face has become much better.

How can Yu Xiaotian guess Lan'er's intention? In fact, by changing the medicine for Lan'er, he has seen that Lan'er's injury was not caused by two aunts to change the medicine for her at all, but she was looking for an excuse to let Yu Xiaotian accompany her more. The little girl's mind was actually so simple. After Yu Xiaotian smiled secretly , he simply saw through it and didn't say it. He took some time to accompany Lan'er every day. Anyway, facing those stinky guys every day, he can find an excuse to stay with Erya in private for a while, which is also a good relaxation for him.
