woman and sea

"Xiaofan! You damn baboon! Did you wash your face and wash it in the sea?!——It took so long to wash your face, did you wash your face there or take a bath?!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Haicao, seeing Yang Fan approaching, pointed at Yang Fan's nose from afar and jumped up and down.

Aunt Haixing, who was walking in front of Yang Fan, laughed when she heard this.

"Uh……"

Yang Fan couldn't help showing black lines on his face, and his temples on both sides twitched in a timely manner: "Then...to be cautious, before answering your question, I need to confirm that this 'baboon'... Is it?..."

"An animal with well-developed limbs and a simple mind is a close relative of orangutans and monkeys." Haicao snorted coldly and said to Yang Fan indifferently.

"What?!—Stand there for me and don't move!—" Yang Fan immediately frowned after hearing this, "Grandma must poke your little hoof to death with a finger!——"

——"Damn girl, you turned against her! How dare you call my aunt a baboon?!"

So, Yang Fan raised his fist and made a gesture to strike.

Seaweed, on the other hand, took two tactful steps, broke away from the crowd, and ran towards the back of the boat with a smile.

Yang Fan stared at her like chasing a rabbit from behind: "You little bastard, stop for me!—"

"It's not————"

Seagrass climbed up the rope ladder quickly, then dexterously climbed up to the boat building, and then put away the rope ladder, lying on the roof of the boat building, squinting his eyelids, sticking out his tongue, flamboyantly making faces at Yang Fan.

Yang Fan was so angry that he jumped up and down on the deck, gnashing his teeth and said: "Little boy! Come down for me if you have the ability! I will definitely skin you!"

Then, Yang Fan heard enthusiastic laughter from the crowd behind him.

It was only then that she realized belatedly that the business was important, and now was not the time to show off to others.Then he raised his neck and waved to the seaweed: "Okay, come down quickly. There are still some serious things!..."

Only then did Haicao stick out her tongue embarrassingly, and said softly: "Oh..." Then, she put down the rope ladder and climbed back to the deck from the ship building along it.

After the seaweed climbed down, Yang Fan quickly caught her, put his left hand on her shoulder, bent the index finger of his right hand, let out a sigh of relief, and slapped her head hard.

Haicao gently rubbed his head, puffed his cheeks with aggrieved face, and stared at Yang Fan with his face up: "Uh...hate..."

"What's wrong!" Yang Fan stared, folded his arms in front of his body, leaned slightly, and stared at Haicao with a little force: "You don't hate it?! You treat people dearly?!"

Haicao sniffed, lowered her eyebrows and looked at Yang Fan pitifully with her mouth pursed: "Oh... お姐さま... I hate it..."

Yang Fan's heart trembled immediately, and his whole body softened.

So, she extinguished her arrogance, rubbed her nose with a smile on her face, and said in a serious manner: "Ahem——that's fine, what's wrong...is there anything else? If not, then Shouldn't we set sail?"

Haicao pursed her lips and smiled, then nodded: "Well, let's go then?"

Yang Fan raised his eyebrows and smiled, and went forward with the seaweed to say goodbye to everyone: "Fellow folks, don't worry about it. The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever—we will meet later!" Then, he put his right palm on the spot in a serious manner. chest, and bowed slightly to everyone on the deck.

So, all the villagers nodded to the two of them, and then moved along the gangway to a big boat next to them.

"There will be a period later.—"

"please take care.--"

"Bon Voyage.--"

……

Harness anchor and sail.

Sea Dragon slowly followed the waves, gradually moving away from the beach.

Yang Fan and Hai Cao stood at the bow and waved goodbye to everyone.

long time...

It was so long that both of them waved their arms sore...

The folks who have been to Hukou Bay for a long time have turned into blurred dots in the eyes of both of them...

They just looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the steering room in the ship building in unison.

"To turn the rudder to the left or to turn the rudder to the right?" Yang Fan pretended to ask for instructions.

"Turn right, full rudder." Haicao also pretended to give instructions.

"Okay—" Yang Fan stood at attention and saluted.

Then, he stepped forward and fully turned the right rudder.

Thus, this not-so-big sloop turned its bow gradually, facing the endless sea.

In this way, gradually drifting away from the land.

At first, the view of the beach was still clearly visible.

After a while, it became a blur.

Later, in their eyes, only the hazy coastline remained.

At this time, Yang Fan finally had the real feeling of drifting on the sea.

Now, I am really sailing on the sea——Thinking of this, Yang Fan couldn't help feeling a little excited, and even his hands holding the steering wheel trembled inexplicably.

——"Girl with a dream! Let's conquer the ocean like this!—"

"By the way...Xiaofan, have you...have you ever sailed a boat before?..." Haicao asked a little belatedly.

"Hmm, no." Yang Fan replied simply, "This is the first time we have broken the question.——"

"You!..." Haicao felt a buzzing in her head, trying to make her stand unsteadily, "Go away! Let me steer the helm!"

——"Damn it! This damned alien really dares to mess around?!..."

In all fairness, she didn't want Haicao to hit a rock in front of her house and be salvaged as soon as she got out of the sea—if something like this really happened, then she really wouldn't be able to go out to meet people in the future...

Yang Fan didn't have a beard, so he blew up his hair, stared and said, "No! Why?! I'm the captain! ——It's only natural for the captain to sail!"

Not to be outdone, Haicao crossed her waist and widened her eyes: "No matter! I'm the owner of the ship!"

Yang Fan gritted his teeth: "Scissors, burden hammer, come!"

Seaweed gnashed its teeth: "Good!"

So the two stared at each other——

"Scissors bag - hammer!"

Yang Fan's movements and expressions were extremely exaggerated, while Haicao calmly showed his scissors.

Yang Fan hugged his head in frustration: "No way! Two out of three games!"

Haicao sneered contemptuously: "Do as the Romans do, we don't have such a rule here—quickly, don't be idle. Go and raise the 'Wang Banner' up, and then stack the things sent by the villagers and move them to the cabin And put them in different categories in the ship building."

Yang Fan rolled his eyes, and he didn't say anything in anger: "I said, little seaweed, I seriously warn you. I warn you, don't let me put this on my face, shame on my face ! If you are in a hurry, you should be careful and I will scuttle the boat for you!—”

Yang Fan had just made up the story of "the eldest sister is the mother", but as soon as he went out to sea, he was used as a donkey by this little bastard...

Haicao squinted her big eyes and tilted her head to look up at Yang Fan.

Then, with a squinted smile, he said sweetly to her, "お姐さま——"

When Yang Fan heard the words, he suddenly gave a big shock.

Immediately, he pretended to be stern, but couldn't hide his flamboyance and said angrily: "Bah!...Don't call me 'お姐さま'! ...Who is your 'お姐さま'?! … ...Hehehehe..." In the end, Yang Fan still didn't hold back, and laughed idiotically.

After all, she followed Haicao's instructions swiftly and went to work.

"Hey..." Haicao saw it in his eyes, and a big, thief-like smile appeared on his face.

The boat sails on the sea.

After Yang Fan stacked all the things sent by the folks, and put them in the storage room of the lower cabin, the deck, and the sundries shelf on the ship tower, he washed his hands, covered the deck, and came To the wheelhouse in the shiphouse.

She stretched her waist greatly, folded her arms in front of her body, leaned her back against the bulkhead, and said to the seagrass who was steering there: "Little Cao'er, I didn't expect that, the things everyone sent you are still there." That's a lot."

Haicao smiled and said, "Well, that's right. With so many things, it can hold up for a long time. And Uncle Qingshi and Aunt Yu also sent a big and strong net. Xiaofan, we will use it in the future. You can catch fish in the deep sea, then dry the fish and sell it elsewhere for money—"

Yang Fan stared wide-eyed, grinned wide-mouthed, stroked his palms and said, "Oh!——that's so kind!—" After thinking for a while, he folded his arms again, and said in a deep voice, "Hey, let's talk, Xiaocao'er Ah—how kind the folks are to you—”

Haicao pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "Well...Actually, they usually don't send so many things when they see others off....It may also be because I have been doing things for the folks since I started practicing medicine. The free clinic has never received their consultation fee."

Yang Fan applauded without concealing his praise: "Ouch!——So you are still a living Bodhisattva who hangs the pot to help the world and has compassion!——Awesome, amazing!"

Haicao shook his head lightly, still looking ahead, and said softly: "Actually, there is no such thing——I just imitated the appearance of that sage because I worshiped a sage in my heart, hanging the pot to help the world, and being merciful." of.

——It's not because of how noble my own nature is, but because I have a noble goal in my mind, so I have learned everything, using that sage as a model, and urged myself to cultivate hard, hoping to become Someone like that sage. "

Yang Fan nodded: "Oh!—I see.—By the way, the sage you mentioned is your teacher, Mr. Shi Song?"

Haicao glanced at Yang Fan shallowly, shook his head with a smile, and said softly, "Hmm, no."

"Oh? No?"

"Well.——Although Master Shi Song is kind to others, he is not enough to confer sagehood and sagehood. The sage I am talking about is the legendary "medical mother white pigeon" who descended from the god of medicine."

"Hmm...Mother of doctors...White Pigeon?...Where the hell is that?" Yang Fan raised his arm to support his chin.She remembered that Haicao had mentioned this person before.It seems to be the inventor of paper.

"She was an outstanding medical practitioner hundreds of years ago. Nowadays, monuments, temples, and statues are erected for her in many places in the world, and the incense is constantly enshrined. Although we don't have There are temples dedicated to medical pigeons, but there are temples where Lord Shisong lives.

Her story was told to me by Aunt Haixing.Legend has it that in ancient times, the medical female pigeon with excellent medical skills hung a pot to help the world, and healed many poor people who had no money to see a doctor.

However, for some unknown reason, she disappeared from the world.Her story has been passed on miraculously. Some people say that she died of fate on earth, so she went back to heaven; …died at sea. ...

——As far as my own heart is concerned, even if the medical mother Baige is not a fairy and has not returned to the sky, I still want to believe that she eventually returned to the mountains and forests instead of dying at sea. "

Yang Fan sighed softly, smiled slightly, stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to lightly press Hai Cao's shoulder, comforting her softly: "That's natural, good people get rewarded."——

Haicao pursed her lips and smiled, nodded, and said softly: "Well, I hope so..."

After steering the rudder for a while, he drove the Sea Dragon to a more open sea area without reefs. The seaweed stuck the steering wheel with a wooden slot, then took out two bronze waist cards from his pocket, and looked at them again. After reading the words on it, he handed one of them to Yang Fan.

After Yang Fan took it, he pretended to look at it carefully, then turned to Haicao and asked, "Eh? Little Caoer, what is this?"

Haicao explained with a smile: "It's a badge to prove your identity. Your identity information is engraved on it." Then, she leaned forward and pointed to the fields above and explained, "Here, the first row is engraved with Your name, Yang Fan. The second row is engraved with your hometown—like me, your hometown is also written as 'Hukouwan Village, Shisong Fan, Captain of the White Tiger Continental Long Sailboat Wang Yunshan'."

Yang Fan nodded, and said in a long and thoughtful voice, "Oh—that's it..."

After thinking about it, Haicao added with a smile on his face: "Besides, the two of us are now 'quasi-nobles'."

Yang Fan's fingertips trembled, he took a deep breath, and almost dropped the waist card to the ground.

Swallowing his saliva and calming down, Yang Fan stared at the seaweed in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice, "What?...quasi, quasi-noble?..."

"Well.—In our world, the victim class and the slave class have no badges. Then, the badges of the untouchable class are made of brown wood; the badges of the common people are made of red iron The badges of the quasi-noble class are made of bronze; the badges of the lower nobles are made of silver; You can tell by the badge you wear." Haicao explained to her carefully.

Yang Fan raised his arm and supported his chin, and said thoughtfully: "Oh...so that's the case.—Oh, by the way, isn't there a stipulation in your "Union Law", which says that 'the common people are women, and the common people are women. It’s not allowed to go to the sea’. So, who... the old man, the captain of Yunshan, gave us the title of quasi-noble, right?"

Haicao nodded and said: "Yes, yes. When His Royal Highness the Captain came this morning, he adopted the two of us as adoptive daughters. —— Xiaofan, if you got up earlier, you could still see our adoptive father."

"Nani?! The ship...His Highness the owner of the ship came to see him off too?!—" Yang Fan was startled.

Seaweed nodded innocently, and said it quite naturally: "Yes, not only His Royal Highness the Captain and Lord Shi Song are here, but also Lord Wei Baishu, Lord Shi Bailang, and Lord Shi Feiyun who are on the ground next to us have come to see us off. Woolen cloth."

Yang Fan coughed twice, and said in a trembling voice: "Oh my god... baby... you, you're in a bad position!...even the regional leaders are here to see you off..."

Haicao pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "It's okay." After thinking for a while, he said, "That's right, Xiaofan, when we meet nobles in the future, we can call ourselves 'Uncle' instead of 'Villain'." What's more. Besides, others will honor us as 'Qing'.

For example, your name is Yang Fan, so whether you are a commoner or an aristocrat, they must call you 'Yang Fanqing' to show respect.For the men among the quasi-nobles, they should be called 'Jun', you just need to know this. "

"Well... I got it. - Emma, ​​from now on, wow, I have become a person of high society too - very good, very good -" Yang Fan's big dog mouth almost reached the bottom of his ears went.

Haicao shook his head, and couldn't help laughing: "The premise is that you are not allowed to use power for personal gain, and you are not allowed to oppress civilians, and you are not allowed to buy slaves."

——In this world, only the aristocratic class, including quasi-nobles, is eligible to keep slaves, and the commoner class can only hire the untouchable class as their own servants.

Yang Fanqiao was dumbfounded, waved his hands again and again and said, "Am I that kind of person? - No, no -"

Haicao nodded, smiled and said, "Well, this is the best."

After thinking for a while, Yang Fan said again: "Hey, Cao'er, by the way... this Yunshan captain, what kind of person is he?"

Haicao thought for a while, then said slowly: "Well...he is a rare person who loves the people like a son. In fact, the owner of Yunshan is a self-made man who stood out from the common people and became an aristocrat. Therefore, he He never puts on airs of aristocrats in front of him, giving people the feeling of being very amiable, just like the uncle of the neighbors.

And ah, the owner of Yunshan is also very merciful.Under his rule, there is no class of victims.Even the few slave-class people were the most heinous people who were expelled from their citizenship for raping women or massacring their wives.Even so, they will not prolong their descendants.

The owner of Yunshan was very gracious and allowed their descendants to be converted to the untouchable class. Some of them performed well and were even changed back to the commoner class.This is unimaginable anywhere else.If it was changed to other places, it would be a slave for one person and slaves for generations.

Not only that, he never allowed civilians or nobles under his rule to kill at will, and even the sentencing of offenders was light and lenient. Although the sentence was light, the rule of Captain Yunshan was peaceful. Quite right, even in places where there are many people and frequent circulation under his rule, everyone does not close their doors at night. "

"Well... so good?..." Yang Fan couldn't help nodding his head.

——In this way, it is no wonder that the civilians and nobles under his rule respect each other and have a blind date.

Feeling a bit emotional, Yang Fan pointed to the Wang flag hanging on the mast again, and asked, "Oh, yes, by the way... what's going on here? Is it the same as the national flag, which is used to mark the ship's registry?"

Regarding this issue, because it involves the knowledge of the law, Haicao explained to Yang Fan in more detail——

The owner of Yunshan is a vassal of Changfeng Ship King, also known as "flag".

Ship owners who are not eligible to join the ship union will, without exception, choose a ship king to rely on, and use the flag as a distinction.

The king's flag hoisted by the ship king himself and his direct descendants is the true color king's flag, and the other ship owners who are vassal to the ship's king fly the bordered king's flag.

The vassals are distinguished by the color of the border and the totem on the border.

Nobles flying the same royal flag must take care of each other at sea, exempt each other from toll taxes, and fight against the enemy together when encountering rogues at sea...Of course, the ship owners are flying the royal flag and receiving the support of the ship lord. At the same time of protection, it is also necessary to pay tribute to the ship lord according to the year.

——This is relative to the official ship of the nobles.

As for civilian ships, similarly, they will also choose to attach themselves to the chamber of commerce.But not all civilian ships will choose to attach to the chamber of commerce.

Most of the civilian ships attached to the Chamber of Commerce are large ships engaged in liner transportation.They are attached to the chamber of commerce, mainly to arrange routes and stowage more reasonably, so as to maximize the benefits of sailing.

Like those small ships and fishing boats, most of them are operated by the owner of the ship, that is, the individual ship owner.

While chamber flags also come in plain colors and borders, all chamber flags are triangular, unlike the rectangular royal flag.

Yang Fan nodded with a vague understanding.

The amount of information in this conversation was a bit large, which made her central processing unit feel a little flustered, and even her chest was a little stuffy, and she couldn't breathe.

So, she carefully put her bronze waist card into her bosom, patted Hai Cao's shoulder, pointed to the top of the ship building, and said, "Xiao Cao'er, you drive the boat first, and I'll go aboard." Let's blow the air up there.—"

"Okay." Haicao waved his hand lightly.

So, Yang Fan turned around and left the wheelhouse, climbed up the rope ladder next to it to the top of the ship building to enjoy the wind.

Breathing quietly in the sea breeze, Yang Fan's body and mind gradually relaxed.

She couldn't help but thank God sincerely.

She thanked the gods for allowing herself to travel to such a pure and clean world.

——At least, in what she has seen and heard now, the communication between people is so simple and so direct:

There is no scheming and intrigue, and there is no intrigue - there is only sincere treatment and ardent concern for each other.

Although this inexplicable crossing didn't start off well, it almost made Yang Fan burp as soon as he came.However, everything that follows is good.

All the people and things are enough to make up for the previous sufferings——

In Yang Fan's life, nothing can soothe her heart more than "confidant" and "ocean".

In the vast ocean, listening to the sea breeze, having a drink with friends on the side of the boat-this is really what Yang Fan dreams of the most.

"By the way...we should be able to become confidants, right?..."

Yang Fan was lying on the roof of the ship building with his legs crossed, and he couldn't stop thinking, "Heh...unexpectedly, it's still with a 12-year-old child.—"

Thinking of this, Yang Fan grinned helplessly and smiled.

To be honest, Yang Fan has fallen in love with this world deeply since the third day he came here.

It's because everything she sees and wherever she goes is very clean and spotless.

——As the environment is, so is the human heart.

Let's take a look at what the prosperity and prosperity on earth look like?

The society on earth has indeed progressed, but the beauty is no longer what it used to be.

Now, everywhere is noisy, miasma and smoke.All the landscapes touched by human beings are no longer quiet and elegant, only full of luxurious pleasure and carefully calculated carnival.

It's just... so dirty...

Therefore, today's Yang Fan no longer wants to return to the original world.

She loves it here because she finds it easy to live here.

Although without the blessing of modern civilization, it may be inconvenient in some respects, but here is the warmth of human kindness that modern civilization cannot exchange.

Here, what she saw, the interactions between people, were all so frank.

Like to laugh and curse, do whatever you want, no need to put on a show for anyone to see.

——If it is possible, she really wants the world to maintain such a status quo, and live as she pleases on the premise of not violating the destiny.

——Also, it would be nice if this wasn't a "male-dominated society".

"Hmm... Is there any way to make this world a harmonious society without oppression and torture?..."

Yang Fan lay on the roof of the boat building, thinking idly.

"Well, if you're not in your position, you don't plan for your own affairs. Forget it—"

Yang Fan's eyes were slightly closed, idly staring at the clouds above the clear sky.

After a while, I fell asleep with a clear dream.

The author has something to say: ah... so good Ji Mo...

There is no comment of ten words...
