Chapter 177

As soon as the three children heard this, they all rushed to open their mouths and rattled on

Unfortunately, Xu Man couldn’t understand a word of it

Xu asked Lu Yuanzheng, “Didn’t you say you were saving refugees from your own country?”

Then what kind of foreign language were they speaking?

Lu Yuanzheng nodded and explained to Xu Man, “They are a minority They speak the language of their own people”

After a pause, he acted as an interpreter, “They said they didn’t do it on purpose They got separated from their parents for fun, and when they swam here, they saw some big fish, and the three of them started to surround them The three of them started to close in, and then we drifted over, and they were in the water, so they couldn’t really see, so they thought it was a big fish and threw harpoons at it One of them ”

Lu Yuanzheng pointed out, c position that lowered the head of the slightly older teenager, “about this, not only with a harpoon pierced the tires, but also played a little handsome, with the harpoon in his hand, rowing from the beginning to the end That’s why we don’t have a few good tires left on this boat”

After they finished rowing and came out from under the water, they came face to face with Lu Yuanzheng standing on the side of the boat, and were dumbfounded

After reacting, they subconsciously wanted to run, but were held back by Lu Yuanzheng’s words

“Try running!”

It is not the first time for the three teenagers to see Lu Yuanzheng, they have already seen Lu Yuanzheng’s ability, and they know that they can’t run away, so after jumping into the water and hearing Lu Yuanzheng’s words, they honestly swam back

He didn’t dare to get on the boat and didn’t dare to run, so he just grasped the side of the boat and waited for Lu Yuanzheng to dispose of him

Xu Wen had a bit of a headache after hearing this, “You don’t really intend to let these three kids swim so far to pull us back, do you?”

Leaving aside the question of whether or not they did it on purpose, even if they did, it’s at least seven or eight kilometers away from the shore, and three such skinny kids can’t swim back even if they’ve lost their strength

Besides, they didn’t do it on purpose, so they are not guilty

“How long can this boat last?” Xu Wen looked down at the water that would soon press against the side of the boat, a little worried

“Don’t be afraid! It won’t sink” Lu Yuanzheng opened his hand and touched the back of Xu Man’s head to show his comfort, “The parents of the three of them are fishing nearby The noise from the flat tire just now was so loud that they probably should be looking for their children over here as well These three boys said that their family just got a new fishing boat, so they can help us tow the boathouse back”

“That’s true” Xu Man looked at the edge of the boat that was already level with the sea, and asked with a bit of uncertainty, “If we keep sinking like this, can we wait until the parents of these three kids come over? Besides, this bamboo house can’t be towed away if it sinks” It can only be towed away

These three children should be able to understand Mandarin, the older one, looking at Lu Yuanzheng and then Xu Wen, suddenly spoke, “I’ve already sent word to my father and mother, they’ll be here soon! They won’t drown you”

Xu Man was happy, “So you can speak Mandarin?!” Although the pronunciation was not standardized, the spitting was not clear, and the speed of speech was slow

At least they could communicate!

While Xu Man was communicating with them, Lu Yuanzheng returned to the bamboo hut, and in a short while, rummaged out a few spare old tires and started pumping them up

When Xu Man saw this, he couldn’t care less about talking to the three kids and helped pump up the tires

Lu Yuanzheng also threw something to the three children and said something to them

Only to see that the older child caught something, eyes bright, seemingly salute to Lu Yuanzheng head into the water

The other two children followed suit and tumbled into the water

The water is so good that it doesn’t look like three people like three fish

Xu Man was startled and subconsciously instructed, “Be careful!”

“It’s fine! They are not generally good at water, they can’t drown”

He’d seen their wateriness, fishermen who made a living at the hands of pirates couldn’t survive without a few skills

Lu Yuanzheng, with the help of Xu Man, flew to fill the four spare tires with air and then also jumped into the sea, fixing the tires under the four corners of the boathouse

The boat floated upwards again, but with only four tires, it couldn’t walk normally, and only stopped sinking, still looking precarious

Xu Man shook his head suddenly remembering something and asked Lu Yuanzheng, “Why didn’t you inflate it first when you had the kung fu to train the kids just now?”

“I didn’t know there was a backup Just now went in and tried to turn it over”

Xu Man thought for a moment that it was right, both of them hadn’t touched this boat for a long time, and they didn’t know who was so careful to put in a few spare tires

After a while, the three kids surfaced as well

The older one, held out his hand and compared it to a six

“What does that mean?”

“They patched six tires”

“You can patch tires in salt water?”

“Not exactly patching, it’s barely enough to fool around for a while!” Lu Yuanzheng pointed down at Xu Man’s slanting rear, “Incoming!”

Xu Man turned his head, and a brand new simple fishing boat quickly rowed over

The three children chattered and swam towards the boat, climbing aboard without waiting for it to stop

The man standing on the bow of the boat, after listening to the children motivating the stock, lifted his foot and kicked the older child, kicking him to the ground, while at the same time, his mouth sternly scolded something

Xu Wen “Hey!” Gave a cry

Lu Yuanzheng also raised his voice to stop it

The man on the boat only stopped when he heard Lu Yuanzheng’s voice, and while rowing this way, he gabbled to Lu Yuanzheng

Xu Wen didn’t understand a word, but he could tell from his attitude that the other party was apologizing

Lu Yuanzheng waved his hand, saying that it was an accident

After a while, the boat arrived and Xu Man was sent onto the fishing boat

Lu Yuanzheng took the rope thrown from the boat to tie up the houseboat, and after checking it again and again, he gave an ok sign

Xu Man frowned, “You’re not coming over?”

“I have to watch the direction”

About afraid that Xu Man would be scared, he added, “Don’t be afraid! They’re all ordinary fishermen, they won’t hurt you”

Xu Man looked back at the three half-grown teenagers squatting in the cabin with their heads hanging down, and then looked at the burly man on the bow of the boat, more or less still a little bit scared in his heart But since Lu Yuanzheng had opened his mouth, it proved that there was no problem with these people, and she found a place in the cabin to sit down

The men didn’t look at her and concentrated on rowing back

This fishing boat was handmade by them, relatively primitive, no engine or anything, still need to rely on human power to row the boat

But it was again slightly more advanced than the kind of pole- or oar-swinging ones

“Sister, don’t be afraid!”

The voice that suddenly leapt into Ru’s ears was particularly small, so small that if the voice hadn’t rung out right beside her, Xu Wen would have been unable to hear it

She twisted her head in surprise to look for it

It was the voice of a little girl

But she remembered that there were no girls on this ship

Thinking of something, Xu Man’s gaze fell on the three half-grown children

The oldest one was helping with the nets, the middle-aged one was helping pick fish, and the skinniest one was holding a basket to pick up the fish they threw over

He met Xu Man’s gaze and immediately moved away timidly

Xu Man narrowed her eyes and carefully sized up the three children

Tentatively, she asked the child who had just spoken to her, “Were you the one comforting me just now? Thank you!”

The child, his face covered in mud, unable to tell if he had a red face or not, hung his head in silence, his fingers unconsciously picking at the edge of the bamboo basket

Xu Man noticed that his fingers seemed to be broken, a red mark on his blistered-to-white knuckles

She touched her pocket and pulled out a homemade band-aid from it, waving it at him, “I saw that you broke your hand! This will not hurt if you wrap it for a bit, do you want to try it?”

The kid sniffed and looked over toward Xu Wen, and the other two kids looked over as well

That child first looked at the cute band-aid in Xu Man’s eyes then turned his head to look at the older child

Only when the older child nodded did he timidly move over to Xu Man’s side

Xu Man’s band-aid was not the standard medical band-aid

Dongsheng and the others were quite skinny, climbing trees and pulling out bird’s nests all day long on the island, and from time to time, they would rub their skin a little bit

Xu asked for two rolls of white tape and made some simple band-aids to stick on the smooth non-stick paper, just in case

Now Xiaoxia is learning to crawl and walk, and is also a restless master, often bumping into the touch Xu Wen will bring a few with him

On top of that, he also used a pen to draw some cute little patterns

Xu Wen waited for the child to reach out his hand, put the band-aid on his hand, and at the same time chat with him: “What’s your name ah?”

“My name is Lou Jiayi”

This time Xu asked to listen to the real, although his voice is not big, but, indeed, is the real female voice

Xu Wen was very surprised, and looked down to measure her

Lou Jiayi is not short, is thin The kind of thinness of malnutrition, coupled with the age is not too big, so you can not see the characteristics of the girl

Her small face was dirty, and she had the same short hair as her two older brothers, with only a pair of eyes that were black and shiny

The clothes on her body were dirty and patched, and the shoes on her feet, with holes in them, were now bubbling with water

In exchange for the previous Xu Man or will not have too much feeling, but now when the mom, will inevitably motherly love flood, reached out and touched the top of her head, “The name is very nice”

“Your name is even better” Get inspired Lou Jiayi opened her mouth, revealing two small tiger teeth, eyes shining, speaking in a more cheerful tone than just now

It was Xu Wen who was very surprised, “You know my name?”

Lou Jiayi nodded vigorously, “I know, your name is Xu Man”

Xu Man came to the chatting interest, “Right, then how do you know it?”

Lou Jiayi first looked in the direction of the houseboat, scrunched his neck, looked up again, and reached out to point in the direction of Lu Yuanzheng, “Big Brother Lu said it”

“Ah? What did he say about me?”

Lou Jiayi opened her mouth at the words, somewhat distressed, then looked at her two older brothers as if seeking help

The teenager who was picking up fishing nets spoke, “Jia Yi’s time to learn the vernacular is short She can understand, but she can’t speak much of it Her vernacular was taught by Lu Ying”

Xu Wen was very surprised

Just now, looking at the way the two parties on the ship were chatting, Xu Man thought that they were very afraid of Lu Yuanzheng

In fact, this was true, but these three children seemed to worship Lu Yuanzheng both inside and outside of their words

At the very least, there was a tone of admiration that couldn’t be hidden

“This is my big brother me Lou Shujie” Lou Jiayi pointed to the boy who opened his mouth to talk to Xu Man, and pointed to the one who picked up fish, “That’s my second brother Lou Shuwei”

Lou Shujie rolled his eyes, “Every time you report your family background fast!”

Xu Wen lost his smile

Despite his impatient tone, his love for Lou Jiayi was very obvious

From the stumbling words of the three siblings, Xu Man took quite a bit of effort to piece together some of the things that Lou Yuanzheng hadn’t had the time to tell her yet

These fishermen had been bombarded with changing place after place to make ends meet, and had been drifting down the sea to beg for a living Life hadn’t been kind to them

This is the harvest year, the fishermen group to go fishing and bumped into the pirates

Pirates do not care about the fish they play this, mainly because they do hard labor

Precisely, can do hard labor survived, can not do hard labor by the pirates killed

Pirates say they do not keep idle

Lou family is a very focus on family unity of the minority, the vast majority of those who are surnamed Lou

In accordance with their statements, Xu asked speculation, this brother and sister of three people, at least one is not a rowing fisherman biological child

Lou Jiayi female version of men’s clothing is of course also to save their lives

This is what Xu Man guessed, Lou Jiayi simply did not understand that she is a girl

And Lou Yuanzheng is, not surprisingly, their savior

The pirates were partially arrested or killed, and the rest fled in disarray

They also saved many of our merchant ships, as well as these innocent ordinary fishermen who were caught on the pirate ship as hard labor

Fishermen but to have a place to live is not to drift into the hands of pirates

Lu Yuanzheng saved them, can not be left alone, had to bring back to Rainbow Island

Along the way, Lu Yuanzheng will teach these children some Mandarin, will chat with them

Xu Man guessed that Lu Yuanzheng was trying to find out something from the children’s mouths

But these kids didn’t understand, they only knew that Lu Yuanzheng was a top hero, and the hero also said that he had married a princess named Xu Man

Lu Yuanzheng’s profession was there, and he wanted to talk to people but couldn’t talk about his profession, so he could only talk about his family

With these children of course the most chat is the child

Chatting about his son and daughter and the children’s mother, Xu Wen

So these children have never seen Xu Wen, but they all know her name

Xu Wen also knows that these children, especially the boys, take Lu Yuanzheng as their role model

Like Lou Shujie, has always said, wait for another two years he grew up a little bit will also want to be a soldier, when a soldier like Lu Yuanzheng

Seven or eight kilometers of the sea, say far not far, say close is not close, chatting to the shore

Lou Guangsheng, the father of the three children, got off the boat and helped Lu Yuanzheng drag the tree house back to the shore and kept apologizing

Lu Yuanzheng waved his hand and told them to go home, holding Xu Man’s hand himself, he also walked towards Xu Qiushi’s house

“Daughter-in-law, I’m sorry! I promised to let you get some rest”

It turned out to be such a toss-up

Lu Yuanzheng was more or less chagrined

Xu Wen shook her head, “Still quite happy”

Lu Yuanzheng roughly also realized that she was in a good mood and looked at her suspiciously

Xu Wen took the initiative to pull him forward

“It feels like you’re in a much better mood?”

When two people got together and didn’t see each other for a long time, it couldn’t be said that there was a disconnect, but it was inevitable that there would be a bit more rawness at the beginning of getting along

This problem was not only for them, the sister-in-laws on the island had all experienced it

Although the past two days were very busy, it also looked like the two remained as close as before

In fact, both of them knew that there was a slight separation that didn’t hurt

Of course it wasn’t a big deal, and it would be gone after two more days together

It was just that these indefinable rawnesses seemed to have disappeared after Xu Man went ashore

Xu Man sniffed and turned back to walk backwards, “I’m always in a good mood when you’re around!”

Talking to those three little kids felt like it filled in all the blanks that Lu Yuanzheng had been missing, as if he was always around

What’s more, even when he was outside he was always thinking of her

Two people’s hearts are always together, how can they be in a bad mood?

Lu Yuanzheng: “”

The words were so sweet that he didn’t know how to take them

Xu Wen hummed a little song and walked forward, suddenly stopped after a few steps and turned back to poke his chest twice with her index finger, “Lu Yuanzheng, you still remember what I told you to do when I said I was raising a family, right?”

Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “You said for me to excel in my field”

“I regret that! I take back that statement I don’t need you to achieve anything in your field either I just hope that no matter where you go and what you do you come back safe and sound!”

Lu Yuanzheng was stunned, raising his hand to encircle Xu Man’s waist, lowering his head, his deep black eyes filled with her, “Know what I went to do?”

Although it was a question, the tone was certain

Xu Man still shook her head, “I don’t know, but you know you ran into pirates”

Although Lu Yuanzheng mentioned that Guo Jianye was injured and also said a word about it, it was definitely not as detailed as the three children of the Lou family

“Dad! Mom!”

“Ask sis!”

“Auntie, auntie!”

The three little ones came looking for someone and started shouting from a long distance away

Lu Yuanzheng let go of Xu Man, raised his arm and waved it towards the three, signaling his position, telling them to shut up before promising Xu Man, “Don’t worry! I haven’t had enough of you, and whatever happens won’t prevent me from returning to you”
