By the time Li Huamei’s Li family fleet and when the two armed merchant ships returned to Hangzhou again, more than two months had passed.
This trip, from Hangzhou to Seoul, then to Yizhou, and finally returned to Hangzhou. After more than two months of sailing, I made a lot of money, and it was a small deterrent of Japanese pirates and gained a lot.
But somehow, after returning to Hangzhou, Li Huamei frowned all day long, her face full of depression. Even if she followed a little guy shopping, she never smiled, and she didn't know what worries were thinking about.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, as she walked, Li Huamei stopped, and then she saw a little boy from about three or four years old in front of him, who was about three or four years old, running towards her with a windmill, and suddenly rushed to her feet.
“Hey?”
"Sister sister!"
"Can you play with me?"
Carefully protecting the paper windmill in his hand, as soon as he looked up, he saw Li Huamei, the beautiful big sister standing in front of him. Subconsciously, the little boy who was still sniffing suddenly grinned and invited Li Huamei.
"this……"
"good!"
It was rare that Li Huamei also showed a smile on her face, and then she reached out and was about to pull up the little boy lying on the ground.
"Little Mao?"
"Come back soon!"
However, before Li Huamei touched the little boy and said something, a woman suddenly rushed out of the gate of the house next to the street as if she was flying. Li Huamei grabbed the little boy's hand and pulled the other party behind her first.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I'll cause you trouble, we'll leave right away!"
"Go back to me quickly!"
"Can……"
"I said, go back to the house!"
“Woo…”
Then, without waiting for Li Huamei to speak, the woman pulled the little boy who was still reluctant, and escaped as if she was avoiding a snake or a scorpion, and also entered the house under Li Huamei's slightly astonished gaze and closed the wooden door of the house heavily.
“…”
He lowered his eyebrows and sighed inwardly, but Li Huamei said nothing.
She knew that people were afraid of her, even if they were protected by her, people in coastal areas near Hangzhou, which were plagued by Japanese pirates.
Whether it is the Japanese pirates who do all kinds of evil or the Ming people who know her, the reason why they call her "Xiang Feihu" is actually because they are afraid of her!
After all, no matter what kind of tiger it is, as long as it is a "tiger", it will eventually be a "tiger". In addition, the Li family fleet is indeed a murderous business, so it is perfect to use her to scare children. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people dare not have too much contact with people like them, just like the woman who was raising children just now.
Although I know that the reason is that, I think about the difficulties my Li family fleet has encountered recently and the misunderstandings of the people about her. For some reason, Li Huamei always feels sad, which makes her have to lower her eyelids and continue walking forward lonely.
"Sister Li?"
(灬oωo灬)?
"Hello!"
?(?????????)????
"Sister Li!"
☆?(o*?ω?)?
"Um?"
At this time, little Annie, who had come out of somewhere, shouted, rushed to Li Huamei, intercepted and pulled her skirt, and finally came back to her senses.
"What are you thinking?"
(???.???)??????
"ah!"
"No, nothing..."
Li Huamei quickly shook her head, not planning to use her thoughts just now to tell the lawless little guy in front of her.
After more than two months of sailing on the sea and spending day and night together, Li Huamei had already known each other very well and firmly believed that the little guy was actually like Song Yifeng, who was also taken in by her. The two of them just sneaked out of their homes to play, and it seems that they are still the kind who is not ready to go back in a short period of time?
Therefore, there was no need for her to find family for the other party, it was just asking for trouble.
"But, they have called you several times just now!"
(o?д?)o
"Ah, sorry, I was thinking about things just now..."
After apologizing with a smile, Li Huamei didn't say what was going on, but took Annie's hand and continued to walk forward.
"What the hell is going on?"
(°〼°〃)
"Why……"
Li Huamei didn't want to say anything, but when she saw that the little guy was a little reluctant, there was no way, she could only sigh again.
Then, she raised her eyebrows and began to speak quietly in a mood and tone that I don’t know what it felt:
"Annie, you know?"
“People are afraid of me…”
"I have done my best to fight against the Japanese pirates, and have been working very hard to protect the Ming Dynasty's seafront, but in the end, they are still afraid of me..."
"We are fighting against the wind and waves on the sea and the Japanese pirates fight desperately. They see us like tigers and wolves..."
"Sometimes, I always feel that since I'm almost unable to hold on, why don't I just become an ordinary person and be my eldest daughter of the Li family well? That might be a good idea?"
As if he was self-deprecating, Li Huamei explained to Xiao Annie and teased herself.
However, she didn't take those words seriously!
Back then, when Li Huamei heard her father, the brave and strong man, the navy captain died in a naval battle with the Japanese pirates, she had actually made up her mind to fight against the Japanese pirates to the end and become a ruthless person.
The reason why she was sad and sad just now was that her actions were not understood by others. Even the people she protected were afraid of her, which made her feel a little at a loss for a moment.
"Um……"
(?~?)
"But, Sister Li, I'm not afraid of you!"
(???c)
Annie didn't know why the eldest sister Li Huamei suddenly became sentimental inexplicably, she must not understand.
Because she never cared about other people's feelings, she was heartless, she just cared about how she could eat, drink, play and sleep well. As for other people's thoughts, she never cared about it.
Anyway, her brain is on other people's necks, and she can think whatever she wants, so that she won't waste her precious time eating, drinking and having fun and experience the same experience as a boring guy!
"you?"
"Ha! Come on Annie, it's getting late, let's go home!"
Li Huamei was amused directly, and then she didn't say anything more, and continued to hold the other person's hand. To outsiders looked like a mother and daughter, walking back along the streets of Hangzhou City towards their Li's mansion.
"Um!"
\\^O^/
"When I went back, I told my aunt in the kitchen that I would eat Mrs. Song's fish soup and fish head tofu tonight!"
(′?﹃?`)
There was no worries that could not be solved by a meal, so Anne was excited to order dishes on the road.
(…)
(??′?`?)?
...
Three days later...
“!!”
!(;?o?)o
"What did you say? How could she do this?!"
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
On this day, Annie, who had just slept until the afternoon, was pushed by Song Yifeng from the big bed in the backyard of the Li Mansion. After hearing the other party explaining her purpose, she was stunned and howled at Song Yifeng who came to report the news on the spot.
"It must be fake, it's your prank, right?"
o(*'　〼')o
But soon, Annie seemed to realize something, jumped up from the bed and asked Song Yifeng loudly, who always liked to fuck her, thinking that this was just a joke the other party played with her.
"No!"
"This is a handwritten letter left by Sister Li, you can read it yourself!"
It was already this time, but Annie didn't expect that she was still suspicious. There was no way, so Song Yifeng had to squelly stuff the letter in her hand directly into Annie's arms.
"And Butler Li said it too!"
"They left in the morning. They had already set sail to sea before. Now they don't know where they have gone. We will definitely not be able to catch up with them, and there is no boat to chase them!"
After saying that, Song Yifeng sat down on the edge of Annie's bed in frustration and got angry on her own.
"It's all your fault!"
"If I hadn't been sleeping in like you when I was at sea, I would have been able to get up early today and would not have been left at home by Sister Li and the others."
"It's just you're blaming!"
As he spoke, Song Yifeng, who became more and more sad as he thought about it, directly blamed Annie and complained in a low voice.
“…”
(ー`′ー)
However, Annie didn't have time to pay attention to the other party, but just wrote them in brushes in one glance. The handwriting on it was very beautiful, and it was obviously impossible that it was a forged letter by Song Yifeng and quickly browsed it.
Soon, Annie basically understood that the general meaning of the letter was:
Something went wrong in the Ming Dynasty, as if it was going to implement more severe maritime bans?
perhaps……
It's just that the other party wants to continue to make things difficult for the Li family fleet, and even intends to order the Li family fleet not to go to sea and continue doing business?
Anyway, the Ming Dynasty government has repented again, just looking for trouble!
So, Li Huamei's elder sister had no choice. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to drive the Li family fleet out of the East China Sea, to Indonesia, to the Indian Ocean, Africa and even the whole world, to seek development and expansion routes and do business everywhere, and at the same time, she vowed to carry forward the Li family fleet?
However, sailing is obviously very difficult and full of dangers. The competition among countries around the world is very fierce. Li Huamei, who wanted to represent the Ming Dynasty as the Li family, did not even know whether she and her companions could come back alive. Therefore, the other party made a temporary decision to leave the two little girls who could not get up in time in the morning!
‘…’
‘It can be as short as one or two years, and it can be as long as three or five years. If everything goes well, the fleet will return!’
‘Yi Feng, and Annie…’
‘If you can, you can return home by yourself first or stay in the Li Mansion for the time being. I have already ordered Butler Li to arrange all the food, clothing and expenses, so you don’t have to worry.’
‘Take care, there will be a period of time later…’
The letter was written here, and then Annie hesitated and looked at Song Yifeng, who was sitting depressedly on the edge of the bed, muttering something in her mouth, and seemed a little unhappy, and asked:
"Where are those new big ships?"
(??????)
"Big ship?"
"Of course I was driven away!"
"Didn't the letter say it? Sister Li said that they had to travel around the world while doing trade. It was too difficult to build ships here in the Ming Dynasty, and there were many restrictions. The government issued bans and restrictions, so they simply left first and went directly to develop outside?"
"But it would be fine if they didn't take you, why didn't they even bring me?"
Song Yifeng was extremely sad and fell directly on the edge of the bed, feeling that she was a little bad.
Although she has become much lazy recently, isn’t there a guy next to her who is lazy than her? At worst, she will change it in the future. Why don’t those guys take her and give her a chance to reform?
"hateful!"
(?╭╮?)
"They were actually hiding from us and left without saying a word!!"
?(?﹏?,)?
"I didn't hide it, right?"
"Sister Li and those guys have been having meetings these days and have been looking for people, but you just didn't ask."
"And I..."
"I didn't seem to ask..."
Suddenly, Song Yifeng, who seemed to have missed countless opportunities, wailed again and buried her head in Annie's quilt.
“…”
(??????)
Anne did not rush to speak, and began to stare at the words "As long as one or two years, as long as three or five years, if everything goes well, the fleet will return" in the letter and became stunned.
"no!"
(??へ??╬)
"It's too long to wait for them to come back, so you have to be bored! Otherwise, Song Yifeng, let's just organize the new Li family fleet to chase Sister Li and the others, right?"
Q(`⌒′Q)
Finally, Anne made up her mind and instantly burned the letters in her hand into a pile of ashes and crushed them.
"ah?"
"But where is the ship?"
"Anne, we don't have a boat..."
Song Yifeng is already fourteen years old, and she is not as naive as Little Annie. She knows that she must have a boat when going to sea, and it can only be a big boat. The kind of small boat used for ferrying is really not good.
"Buy! They have money!"
(′???`)
Of course, problems that can be solved with money are not a problem. Anyway, Annie thinks that since Sister Li and the others can place an order to buy several large ships, of course she can do it too.
"But the problem is that the government will not allow it to be sold!"
"Also, it will take several months to build the ship. We will definitely have no sailors after it is built..."
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the solution that Xiao Annie said was a bad idea, and Song Yifeng rushed back to the bed again.
She felt that perhaps she could only stay with Annie in Hangzhou for a few days, and then she had to find a merchant ship back to Silla and go back in shame, and then continue to go up the mountain to continue practicing with her master and her brother?
“…”
(?~?)
"Don't worry, there's no big problem! Anyway, they have magic and they don't let them sell it, so we'll make it ourselves!"
(???)
Isn't it just a ship? Annie thinks that although she doesn't do anything else from other worlds for such a small matter, if she uses magic to create it, it will definitely not be a difficult thing. It's just a simple shaping magic. There are wood everywhere, steel cannons and powder can be refined on site. As long as you find a place where no one is there, don't let people see it and shout.
“??”
"Annie, are you sure?"
"You can build it?"
Song Yifeng on the bed raised her head again and looked at a careless little girl who was swearing with that kind of ghost expression.
Obviously, Song Yifeng's expression was a little contemptuous, and she did not take Annie's words seriously.
