424. That Bauhinia Flower
No one is born good, nor is no one born evil. Everything depends entirely on each other's position.
Led by three fishermen, Marskuen led the fleet toward the Seyy Pier between North and South Bagai Islands.
Marskuen was a little anxious. No wonder he was always panicked. It turned out that the problem was here!
Brother, brother, why are you still so reckless at the age of age? Why can’t you give me some confidence when you know that you are the only person I can trust completely?
But no matter how much I want to go, I have to go. Marskuen bit his steel teeth and smashed his hands heavily on the fence, but still urged the fleet to keep moving forward.
The strong wind suddenly blew, and the fog seemed to fade gradually. What was annoying was that it seemed to rain again!
Marskuen is now on the front deck, and the quiet environment of the swaying deck is particularly easy to make people think. He is attracted by the fog in front of him, and unconsciously, his thoughts seem to be pulled by ropes, and suddenly returns to the passionate summer years ago.
It's also such a foggy day.
I was twenty-nine years old that year, and Simmons was about twenty-two. The two brothers had just made a fortune. When they had money in their pockets, they were naturally a little bored and wanted to walk sideways.
Especially when he slaughtered his old rival, Memphis Chamber of Commerce in trade, the young and energetic two people were even more enthusiastic, and they were ready to go out and spend some money.
After the brothers' fleet was on the shore of Jakarta, they immediately took a few confidants to the largest bar in the dock, Xin Zhichun, and were ready to return without getting drunk.
I was so young at that time! A large glass of beer with ice cubes, and when I tilted my neck, I rumbled my stomach. I put on pickled fruits, fish, beef, and mutton jerky. The small bar was soaked in the whole world!
That day, I was drunk by myself. Simmons's face was also flushed and was shouting to fight for wine. The door of the bar suddenly opened!
The person who came in was the one who had made me missed me for decades! The one who made me decide not to marry for the rest of my life!
She is a Ming Dynasty person, with bright eyes that can speak. Unlike other women's charm, she is so heroic.
Just a glance makes people fascinated.
When she sat there, the whole bar seemed to illuminate a hundred of the brightest lights, and instantly became bright!
I don’t know if I’m drunk or something, but I just feel my mind a little drifting, and my heart also becomes hot.
There were a few people around her, but they didn't seem to be her lover, but they felt more like they were subordinates.
It seems that she is a person with status! But so what? This is what it takes to make it taste good!
Everyone in the whole bar was watching her. No man could control his impulses for such a woman!
But no matter what, no matter how impulsive you are, you are an educated person after all. It is impossible for you to turn into a male dog in heat when you see a beautiful woman like those uneducated sailors.
That will only shame your family! This is absolutely not allowed!
Drinking my own wine quietly makes my mood much quieter than before. This may make me more unique.
The noise around was louder, and everyone was trying to make themselves more masculine and tried every means to attract the woman's attention.
But she still looked so quiet, like a beautiful Bauhinia, so outstanding, like an elves falling to the world, spotless.
Sitting half drunk three meters away, looking at her side face, I almost felt that this was life, even happiness!
But someone was going to destroy this harmony and beauty - it was the mess of the Qingsha Gang who held the wine glass to her seat, and said something to her with a vulgar expression. The gangster who followed her next to her even laughed lewdly!
She smiled, and she was so spotless. What does this mean? Just when she was puzzled, the wine glass in her hand and a full glass of ale were already like a shooting star, hitting the bastards' faces heavily!
Bang! That crisp sound was the clearest and brightest sound I have ever heard in my life! It was like a slap on my heart, which immediately made me feel excited and even sobered up a little!
Suddenly, the gangsters from the Qingsha Gang were confused. After a little awakening, they became furious. More than a dozen people stood up and rushed forward to fight!
The few people around her stood up, not looking anxious, and still stood with their hands down.
At this time, my mood can only be described as burning in fire. Do you know who these idiots are? These people are killing and robbing people and committing evil deeds. They are the most vicious pirates near Jakarta!
If they are targeted, it will be difficult to be well-known unless there is a navy escort!
When his mind became hot, he was about to rush up. Just when she was three steps away, a person had already grabbed her wrist and shouted: Go quickly! Why are you still standing there? They are really good at killing people!
I was shocked to find that the person who rushed faster than me was my young brother, Simmons.
I didn't understand her expression at the time. Now I think about it, I was amused and amazed. As a result, Simmons and I pulled each other out of the bar, and the price was that my left shoulder was stabbed by a dagger thrown by the Qingsha Gang, and blood flowed!
I didn't feel the pain at that time. When we ran to a remote back alley and stopped, we felt the whole shoulder burning.
She gasped for a few moments, breathed calmly, and suddenly smiled at us again: You are really good at showing off your heroes!
The sound seemed to come from outside the sky, and it seemed that I had forgotten the pain.
Simmons was about to speak, but she waved her hand gently and stopped Simmons' words: Stop the bleeding first!
As she said that, she took out a small bottle from her arms, pulled it out with a slight pull, and a fresh fragrance of flowers came from it. Later, after searching from many sources, she realized that it was the fragrance of jasmine, and she still carried it with her.
Simmons helped her tore open the clothes on my wound. She gently dipped her fingers with the ointment on it, and it felt a little cold, and the pain seemed to be much lessening. I wonder if it was an illusion.
She took out another ribbon and gently tied it around my shoulders. The ribbon is still placed on the lining of her clothes, which always makes me feel that she has not walked away.
The people from the Qingsha Gang caught up! We were shocked and were about to escape again, but she waved her hand and said softly: Let's take a look first!
When we were stunned, the few people around her jumped down from the roof and quietly landed on the ground, with their hands flying, and the invisible things they saw flew out of their growing sleeves. The Qingshark Gang gang on the opposite side were all hit by a dozen steps, lying all over the floor with a wail!
This... it turns out that her subordinates are all strong men? Who is she?
Later, things became much simpler. Her name was Su Wanting, who came from the Ming Dynasty. She wanted to go to the West to find relatives and friends. She came here just by passing by and purchasing some goods.
The fleet she was in had more than a dozen ships, all of which were typical four-corner ships in the Ming Dynasty, stable and thick, and armed to the teeth!
She was accompanied by experts, and the few she took just now were quite good, but it seemed that her true strength was far more than that.
Compared to her, I am a real poor boy. In front of her, I am like a toad in the canal, and she is the swan that leads her neck high in the air!
I, Marskuen, felt my heartfelt inferiority for the first time. However, in the next few days, I gradually realized that she was not a person who was powerful to look at people. The reason why she kept her distance from us was entirely because she already had a lover and her slightly raised belly...
Maybe she was going to the West to find her lover, and he was abandoned all the time? Or was it any other reason? I don’t know, and she didn’t say it.
Our two fleets walked together, but there was a distance to walk. The more we contacted, the deeper I became.
She is like an elf, an angel, and she is simply omnipotent.
She let me know that a person can be so noble. In the end, I mostly admire her in my heart, mixed with deep love between men and women.
But until our fleet broke up in Adin, I didn’t have the courage to say that. I hope to put this thought in a box and store it in a tragic and tender manner. One day I will open it and have surprises, but who knew that this thought would become a farewell and forever from now on!
We were also on this waterway at that time! I don’t know if Bagai Island has changed. Maybe it’s as she said, it’s better to miss it than to meet. It’s just that my nostalgia is half a decade of life!
Is this the meaning of the poem she recited? It used to be a waste of water, but it was not clouds except Wushan. Since I saw her, I could no longer hold any other woman in my heart, so I am still alone to this day.
Fortunately, Simmons woke up quickly and got married and had children, leaving behind descendants for our Kuhn family. Otherwise, I, the eldest brother, would definitely blame myself for my life! This is also the reason why Simmons is so incompetent and still never let go.
I gently reached into my arms, pinched the ribbon that could not be washed away by blood, and my mind was dazed again...
The right rudder is full! The right rudder is full! The sail is lowered half a sail! The first mate's shout suddenly came, and Marskuen immediately shuddered and returned to the real world!
The waterway in front suddenly narrowed, and Marskuen thought hard. This should be the estuary between the north and south Bagai Islands! Saiyi Pier should be less than half a day ahead!
The draft of this waterway is not too deep, and it may endure the large three-masted sailboat I ride. So I can only divide the fleet into two parts, and take the strongest part in to find Simmons, and stay outside, waiting and observing or other enemy situations that may occur!
As the fleet deepened, the waterway became narrower and narrower. I heard the harsh sound of the bottom of the ship rubbing against the reefs several times. The vibration from the soles of my feet clearly told me that if I walked in, I was afraid it would not work!
Simmons chased in directly? Marskuen suddenly wondered how he got in? His flagship was exactly the same as his own, and his water could only be deeper. Why was he able to get in but he had difficulty walking?
A terrible idea suddenly came to my heart, and Marskuen shouted loudly: Stop the boat! Stop the boat! Let the three fishermen come over to see me immediately!
The people around didn't know what was going on, but since the captain had an order, everyone immediately moved and sent the order to the surrounding ships. The entire fleet gradually slowed down, but the friction and collision were still intermittent!
When the first mate heard the shout, he knew what the leader had found. Without saying a word, he took a few people to find the three fishermen. But the last thing he saw was three small splashes - they jumped into the sea!
The first mate only felt a burning heat in his heart. Is there really something going on?
Before my thoughts stopped, I felt a violent vibration coming from my feet. My whole body seemed to be walking in a strong earthquake and could not stand upright at all!
Then came a violent explosion and rolling smoke. Then the sailors on the deck yelled: It’s leaking! It’s leaking!
The first mate was shocked and shouted to Marskuen: Chief, we are ambushed! Retreat! Retreat!
Chapter completed!
