Chapter 1856 Gift Giving
Soon, Hei Niu and the others fished out the dark wood. Compared to the previous dark wood, this one was much thicker.
“Hahaha, this one is thicker than Heiteng’s, and we are even more unlucky than them. This time, it’s Heiteng’s turn to envy us, hahaha. Of course, others will be even more envious. Us."
Hei Niu's eyes were full of golden light, and he patted the fished-out fallen wood so excitedly that he almost cried out.
"Hei Niu, you are proud too early." A Japanese pirate on the same boat shook his head regretfully after checking it.
"Damn it, you fake scholar, what do you mean by that? You don't have eyes. You're so thick and long, you can't see?!"
After hearing this, Hei Niu immediately became unhappy and glared. With a pair of bull's-eyes, he started to argue angrily.
"What do you know? To tell whether a piece of dead wood is valuable or not, you don't just look at the thickness and length."
The Japanese pirate, nicknamed Fake Scholar, shook his head and said.
“If you don’t look at the thickness and length, then what are you looking at?” Hei Niu interrupted the fake scholar’s words with a glare.
"It depends on the material. The one Kuroteng and the others salvaged is ebony. Ours is just willow wood, and there is no thought of sinking it at the bottom of the water. It is estimated that it will not be more than ten years. This one is not worth dozens of taels of silver."
The fake scholar sighed and said with regret.
“Damn it, fake scholar, don’t pretend to understand. Don’t think they call you scholar. You are really a scholar. If your surname hadn’t been fake, we wouldn’t have called you scholar. You just don’t. We just read a few more books, and we didn’t even pass the entrance examination." Hei Niu retorted unwillingly when he heard the fake scholar said that the dead wood they fished out was worthless.
“Can’t you tell the difference between ebony and willow?!” The fake scholar was exposed and counterattacked with a dark face.
Heiniu lowered his head and looked again, then his face dropped, and he cursed, "Damn, it's really Liumu!"
"Hahaha"
The other Japanese pirates on the boat couldn't help laughing when they saw Hei Niu's mournful appearance.
Heiniu and the others were delayed for at least ten minutes in salvaging the dead willow wood. Because of their delay, the boats behind them were also delayed.
The Japanese pirate fleet has just turned around the mouth of the river. Due to the delay of Hei Niu and the others, the Japanese pirate fleet is blocked here, like dumplings, densely packed in the river that has just turned. here.
Soon, other Japanese pirate ships that were turning around also heard the news that Hei Niu and his pilot boat had picked up another sunken wood. Fortunately, it was just a willow sunken wood, which was not worth much money. Otherwise, they I feel jealous and jealous again.
"Haha, these idiots, do they really think that Wu Chenmu is so easy to meet? If it is really so easy to meet, it won't be so valuable." After Chen Dong heard the news, he shook his head and laughed.
“These idiots!” Maye also laughed and scolded, “Hearing the noise outside, I thought we had encountered another piece of ebony wood at the head of our good fortune, and it could promote another auspicious sign. , to boost morale. Unexpectedly, it was just a dead willow tree. It’s the type that’s very young, really boring.”
“Haha, actually the willow wood is not too bad. Although it is worth a little less, it is a rare wood after all, and it can be used as a wood. Let’s spread the word auspiciously.” Chen Dong smiled and said it was better than nothing.
“Something’s wrong, the new pilot boat also encountered a dead wood?! Why did I feel something was wrong, so I salvaged a dead wood, why did I encounter another dead wood?! It usually takes ten and a half days You may not encounter a single deadwood in Yuedu, but you encountered two in one day?" Xu Hai touched his chin, squinted his eyes, and said with suspicion.
"Haha, if we encounter another piece of ebony wood, something is indeed wrong, but this time we encountered just a not-so-valuable ebony wood. It was just a coincidence. "Chen Dong said disapprovingly.
"No, I still feel something is wrong. Even Shenmu has encountered too many things. There must be monsters anyway." Xu Hai shook his head, feeling that something was abnormal, so he stood up and shouted outside the cabin. , "Here comes someone! Someone comes here!"
"Leader." Several Japanese pirates waiting outside the cabin responded.
"Quickly pass the order and all ships will be on heightened alert. In addition, two more groups of personnel will be sent to explore both sides of the strait until the fleet reaches the seaport." Xu Hai gave the order with a serious face.
"Brother Xu, there is no need. The surrounding Mingren cities have been scared to death by us for a long time. How can they have the courage to harass our fleet? On the contrary, they are probably not praying to gods or Buddhas now. Pray that we won't attack and rob them along the way." Maye felt that Xu Hai was making a fuss and said disapprovingly.
Although Chen Dong didn't speak, the expression on his face was a little surprised, and he felt that Xu Hai didn't need to be like this.
"You can never be too careful." Xu Hai explained to the two of them.
"Well, that makes sense." Chen Dong and Maye were convinced by Xu Hai's words. Yes, you can't be too careful.
The Japanese pirates took the order and went down to convey Xu Hai's order.
As soon as the Japanese pirates left Xu Hai and their flagship cabin, and before Xu Hai's order could be conveyed, they heard a panic sound coming from outside.
"What's wrong, damn it!" Xu Hai heard the panicked voice outside, and his heart skipped a beat. He realized something was wrong, rushed out of the cabin, grabbed a Japanese pirate and asked through gritted teeth, "What's wrong? What are you making such a fuss about?!"
Chen Dong and Maye immediately realized that something was going on outside, and rushed out of the cabin after Xu Hai.
"Behind, behind!" The Japanese pirate, who was grabbed by Xu Hai, pointed to the back and shouted loudly in panic.
"What happened next?" Xu Hai, Chen Dong and Maye turned their heads in the direction pointed by the Japanese pirates almost at the same time.
Then, their expressions changed drastically.
At the intersection of the river at the back, dozens of rafts appeared at some point. The rafts were piled with hay, firewood, sulfur and other items.
There was also a smell of grease in the distance. Needless to say, kerosene must have been poured on the hay and firewood on the raft.
There are three Zhejiang soldiers on each raft. One Zhejiang soldier holds a long pole and pokes the bottom of the river to push the raft. The other two are paddling, driving the raft quickly approaching the Japanese pirate fleet.
Behind these rafts filled with dry firewood and straw, there are about a dozen larger rafts. There are no dry firewood and straw on these rafts. At first glance, they are the supporting rafts.
"Hahaha, little Japanese pirates, grandpas are here to give you gifts. This is a gift that we adults have carefully prepared for you. Please accept it."
"Hahaha, little Japanese pirates. Guys, hurry up and accept the gift, don’t let down your grandfathers’ kindness.”
The Ming army on the raft filled with dry firewood and straw laughed and shouted as they quickly approached the Japanese pirate fleet.
"Damn it! They are going to use fire to attack! Shoot arrows, shoot arrows, don't let them get close to the fleet! The fleet rushes forward and throws them away!" Xu Hai reacted immediately, and his whole body His hair stood on end, his face instantly turned pale, and he yelled hurriedly. (End of this chapter)
