Wei Shilei felt a rare regret and said, "I still want to thank you for your kindness."
Xu Lingmiao smiled and said: "Dad and I are employed by you. We are paid, and we should protect you! Since you are fine, I will leave first!"
Wei Shilei nodded, she bowed, and quickly turned around and left.
Wei Shilei watched her turn around the bulkhead, then withdrew his gaze and pondered slightly.
After a while, Deng Xian sneaked over, his face still pale but in high spirits, and he lay in his ear and said, "Sir!"
Wei Shilei looked at his expression and said amusedly: "Are all Feierlou people like you?"
Deng Xian said: "What kind of people are we?"
Wei Shilei smiled and said: "Just like Brother Zheng, there are people like you who love gossip."
"Hey! Are people divided into groups?" Deng Xian waved his hand indifferently, then continued his previous actions, lying next to his ear: "Guess what?"
"Um?"
"Just now! After you finished talking to Miss Xu, Miss Xu left, right? But she stood on the corner again, facing you, and muttered a few words. Guess what she said?
What is it?"
Wei Shilei's heart skipped a beat inexplicably: "What is it?"
Deng Xian mumbled a string of garbled words.
Wei Shilei frowned: "What is this?"
"Heh heh heh!" Deng Xian smiled slyly: "That's what she said. It seems to be what the pirates said, but I don't know what she said."
Wei Shilei was convinced.
He said: "You don't even know what it means, but you still remember it?"
Deng Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "What's your tone? Do you think this is an easy thing? I waited for her to leave, and I recited it over there ten times!"
The young and mature Master Wei raised his forehead and said incomprehensibly: "So, why do you have to carry it? Why do you have to put so much effort into carrying it?"
Deng Xian clicked his tongue in disgust: "Why are you acting like a little old man? I can't talk to you! Alas!"
He left with his hands behind his back.
Wei Shilei accepted his fate and continued to do business.
Mancajia and Java, the last time they tested the ship, they just passed by and had a quick look at it. They mainly went to Boni.
This time, since we came here again due to wind and waves, we went ashore seriously.
There is the sea to the southeast of Mancajia, and there are mountains to the northwest and a large beach. There are many small boats and fishing nets tied to the shore. They don't look exquisite, and the people don't look rich, but they are very warm and hospitable. Although the language is
It doesn't make sense, but you can still trade even if you talk about it with comparison.
Thinking of the language barrier, Wei Shilei looked back again, and sure enough he saw Xu Lingmiao talking to someone.
This girl was obviously wearing inconspicuous men's clothes, her hair was soaked and fringed, and she looked as embarrassed as everyone else, but her pair of bright peach blossom eyes, curved with a smile, made people feel fresh and smart.
Wei Shilei walked over, listened to a few words, and then asked her: "Can you speak the words here?"
Xu Lingmiao smiled and said, "I know a little bit."
Wei Shilei smiled and said: "It looks more than a little bit. What did you tell them?"
Xu Lingmiao pointed back: "Uncle Zhao...Uncle Zhao said, let me tell them to give them the wet silk at a discount, and they will give us gold."
Wei Shilei asked: "Do they have any specialties here?"
"No," Xu Lingmiao said, "They said the land here is barren and things grow poorly, but ships come from time to time to replenish fresh water and exchange things with each other, so they have some spices here."
Wei Shilei nodded and asked, "Is there any news about the assassination of the Canadian royal family?"
"Ah?" Xu Lingmiao said: "Don't you know? There is no emperor on this island, but there is a leader with a very long name called Bailila. It is said that he was originally the prince of Jinzhou, because Jinzhou was invaded by the enemy.
, he fled, and when he fled here, the tree... did you see it?"
She tiptoed and pointed to him. Wei Shilei looked back and indeed saw the top of a tree.
Xu Lingmiao said: "The prince was resting under that tree, and then he saw his hunting dog chasing a mouse deer. As a result, the mouse deer fought back and kicked his hunting dog into the water. Then this
The prince said that this place was very good, even the mouse deer was so brave, and he led his people to live here from then on...The tree was called Mancajia tree, so the island was called Mancajia Island."
Wei Shilei suddenly realized.
He said: "What else do you know? Can you tell me everything?"
"Okay!" Xu Lingmiao said: "I just heard it here and there, and I don't know what you want to know."
Wei Shilei said: "I want to know a lot, but now, let's go back to the ship and change clothes. Can you come with me to visit this leader?"
There was no way to be too particular at the moment. The two went back and changed their clothes, brought a few people with them, picked out a few things, and then got off the boat to visit the leader.
Along the way, I saw that the clothes in Mancajia Island were slightly different from those in Daqing. The men's clothes also had many floral flowers and rich colors, and they all wore hats. When I saw the things they were holding, they all looked at it with curiosity.
They were walking in, and there were people surrounding them as they walked inside.
They met the leader easily.
The leader's name is Parameswara. He is an enthusiastic middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, dark skin, a beard, and white teeth when he smiles.
Wei Shilei originally planned to imitate Su Qin and show off his eloquence, but he failed to use it at all. Paramesura saw the Wanhua brocade and exquisite blue and white flowers they brought over, and listened to what he said about Daqing, so he immediately took the initiative
Said that they wanted to pay homage to their emperor.
Wei Shilei felt a little guilty after going smoothly.
However, he himself did not speak their language, and it was not convenient to translate sentence by sentence. Therefore, Wei Shilei temporarily accepted this good offer, moved into their mansion, and went to Paramesura.
Prepare gifts and then follow their ship to Daqing.
Deng Xian took a quick walk around with his men and came back and said: "Poor, really poor! Nothing grows in the ground, so it's just a bigger fishing village!"
He asked him: "Why did you recruit this big nose?"
Wei Shilei said: "Don't you think that the location of Mancajia Island is very good?" He drew a sea map with his fingers on the table: "You see, this place is like a portal, which is rare and has no owner.
Land, if we can occupy this island, station troops, and guard this pass, it will be a situation where one man can guard the pass and no one can open it."
Zhao Beian whispered: "If the master hears this, he will definitely be happy."
"It's okay, it's okay!" Deng Xian said with a smile, "I'll just tell him! Let him be happy!"
Wei Shilei chuckled, "Brother Deng, you and Brother Zheng are almost like brothers! You can tell Brother Zheng this for me later."
Deng Xian smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, don't worry!"
He stood in front of him and winked wildly. Wei Shilei had already seen Xu Lingmiao sitting in the corner, looking at him with bright eyes, as if he was really powerful.
Wei Shilei smiled and lowered his head, pretending not to understand what he meant and not looking over there.
