It is a custom handed down by the ancestors on the night of the New Year's Eve. Even a person like Lu Wan who goes to sea will follow this custom as long as there are special circumstances.So this group of old men made a fuss on the beach all night, and some people returned to the boat to watch the New Year after eating, because there are some entertainment facilities on the boat, such as various gambling tools, you can have fun, and the boat is also safe. .

Lu Wan was worried that the natives he met yesterday would attack them, but after one night, he didn't even see a single native, but it was undoubtedly a good thing to be able to spend the first night on the island safely. It was a sign, so Lu Wan and the others were very happy. They exchanged New Year greetings with the crew, and then had another meal of dumplings. Then they called a meeting of the important people in the fleet to discuss the issue of exploring the island..."".

Everyone in the meeting sat on the beach. Lu Wan picked up the tea bowl beside him and drank a big mouthful of strong tea. He ate too much beef last night, which made his stomach feel uncomfortable this morning, so he wanted to drink tea to dissolve the oil, but The tea they brought was running out, and it was time for the return voyage.

"Shi Jie, you discovered this island, and there are not only natives living on it, but also herds of bison. It is a very valuable island. According to our rules, whoever discovers it has the right to name it, so today The first thing you need to do is to decide on the name of the island, and then you take a boat around the island to survey the topography of the island and mark it on the chart." Lu Wan took a few sips Tea, and then said to Feng Shijie beside him.

"Yes, I will take care of it immediately after the meeting. As for the name of this island. Since we spent New Year's Eve here, why not call it New Year's Eve Island!" Feng Shijie also said happily.Capital Datang 424

According to the rules of the sea.Whoever first discovers the island has the right to name it.And Feng Shijie had discovered the island several times before, so he used Ziji's name, as well as the names of his wife and younger sister. Therefore, although the island discovered this time was large, it could no longer be named after Ziji. It was named after New Year's Eve Island.

"New Year's Eve Island, what a name, it sounds much better than that Shime Erhanzi Island!" Lu Wan laughed and praised.And his last sentence caused many people to laugh out loud, only the second fool who was sitting was full of embarrassment.

Erhanzi is not only a good hunter.Moreover, he is also the helm captain of a large ship. Although his position is not comparable to that of the captain and surveyor, he is also one of the important figures in the fleet, so he was also called to attend the meeting.As for the meaning of Lu Wan's last sentence, it was because Erhanzi, who replaced the watchman, accidentally discovered an island last month. As a result, he ignored everyone's objections and insisted on naming it after Ziji, so he could be selected as the top ten best. Erhanzi Island, with its ugly name, was born in this way.

I joked a few words.Only then did Lu Wan get to the point, and began to assign everyone tasks, which were actually very simple, nothing more than ordering some people to stay behind on the beach.And build a simple pier as soon as possible, so that they can transport the collected food and fresh water to the boat.In addition, some people were led by Lu Wan himself, and then took a boat to find another landing place.And start a search on the whole island, it is best to chat with the local natives.Of course, try to be careful, although with their force.They are not afraid of each other, but if conflicts can be avoided, they should try to avoid them. Bijing and the others have lost a lot of people along the way.

Just as Lu Wan finished assigning the task, everyone was about to stand up and summon the shihou. Suddenly, a patrolling crew member from outside the camp ran in quickly. Seeing Lu Wan, they immediately shouted loudly: "Captain, a group of soilmen came outside the camp." People don't have weapons on their bodies, but our brothers can't understand what they say, and don't know what they want to do?"

Hearing the crew's report, Lu Wan and the others were overjoyed. They were about to have sex with these natives, but they didn't expect the other party to come to their door. Immediately, Lu Wan said, "Liu Tongyi, follow me right away. Let's meet these natives together!"

"Your subordinates obey!" Hearing Lu Wan's order, the dark-faced Liu Tongyi immediately stood up and said.Although the Chinese translated by Liu Tong is extremely standard, judging from his dark skin and appearance, he is very similar to the natives on the Nanyang islands, but if you look closely, his facial features also have some characteristics of the Han people. The skin is also whiter than the pure natives.

In fact, Liu Tong translated his name as Liu Kata, who was a mixed race of Han and natives. His father was a Han merchant who was also engaged in maritime business. He escorted a boat to an island to do business, but he was enthusiastically received by the natives on the island. Welcome, even the native chief personally hosted a banquet. As a result, the Han merchant was so happy that he drank too much at once. As the saying goes, wine can "disorder" and "sex". Guānxi happened to his daughter, and when the Han businessman woke up the next day and saw the chubby chief's daughter beside him, he regretted it too much.

In fact, there is no such thing as shime at all. The native women on the island don’t have the concept of chastity at all, and that night it was the chief’s daughter who fell in love with this Han businessman and came to serve him. It does not conform to the aesthetics of the Han people, but as a man, it is not a disadvantage in this kind of thing. At most, it is like eating a bad meal and waiting for the next meal to eat something better. .

The Han businessman had been traveling at sea for many years, so he naturally knew this yidiǎn, so he didn't feel shime. The next day he gave the chief's daughter a few bolts of silk, plus a few small ornaments, and the incident passed.But what he didn't expect was that he and the chief's daughter hit the ground. Two months later, the chief's daughter found out that Ziji was pregnant, but at this time, the Han merchant who caused the accident had already left the island. Later, the Han businessman came to the island again to do business, only to be told that Ziji had a mixed-race son here.

Speaking of it, the Han businessman is still responsible. After confirming that this guy with native blood is the son of Ziji, he decided to take his son back to the Central Plains, and then ask someone to teach his son to learn Han and write Chinese characters until he grows up.Han Shang's surname was Liu, and he named the native son Liu Kata, Kata being the name of the tribe where the chief's daughter belonged.

Liu Kata has been running on the sea with his father since he was a child, kěnéng because he is of mixed race, his brain is also extremely smart, and tèbié is extremely talented in language. Language family, Liu Kata is extremely proficient in this language family, no matter what kind of dialect it is, he can successfully communicate with the other party.He is a rare talent, his father brought him back then, and the business in Nanyang was very smooth.

But it is a pity that he has several half-brothers who used to bully him as a bastard. Fortunately, Liu Kata's father was there to protect him. Unfortunately, the old businessman Liu passed away a few years ago. Méiyou was able to stand up for him, but he was kicked out of the house by several brothers. In order to make a living, he went through many twists and turns, and finally joined the slave hunting team in Taiwan and became a well-known interpreter in the slave hunting association. Also yiyàng with Feng Shijie, was selected to join the exploration fleet.

Lu Wan brought Liu Kata to the outside of the camp, Feng Shijie and the others also followed with weapons, it is not easy to bijing whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend, and must not be taken lightly.

Sure enough, there were a group of natives standing outside the camp. The leader was a leader who was obviously stronger than the others, with dark skin and curly hair, and his naked upper body was covered with tattoos. They look almost the same.

What's also very interesting is that these native people are like the year of the ox in the Central Plains, with holes pierced in the middle of their noses, but what they hang is not an ox nose ring, but a long ornament, which looks like a shime bird. Made of feathers, the higher the status of the native, the more gorgeous the ornament on the nose.For example, the native leader at the front, the ornament on his nose is made of two feathers, most of the bristles have been removed, leaving only two royal blue feathers at the tail, With his head bobbing non-stop, it looks hilarious and pretty.

"#￥@%#@￥%" The local leader in front of him was very discerning. When he saw Lu Wan and the others coming out, he immediately guessed that this was the leader of the other party, so he said a series of words at once, and although Lu Wan He didn't understand a word, but he felt relaxed, because he also knew a little about the native language. Although the other party's native language was unfamiliar, he also knew that it was the same language as the native people they met earlier, so it must be difficult Live in Liu Kata.

Sure enough, Liu Kata's eyes lit up when he heard the other party's words, and he quickly spoke a few words in native language. The native leader didn't expect that the other party could understand Ziji's words, and immediately communicated with Liu Kata excitedly.And with the jinháng of this kind of communication, Liu Kata's face slowly revealed an excited look, while the other party's face became more and more awed.

After a while, Liu Kata stopped communicating with the other party, and reported to Lu Wan with a dirty smile: "Captain, the other party said that they are the native heads of this island, and their hunting team met yesterday. We were only scared away by the power of muskets, and asked if we were messengers sent by the gods?" Capital Datang 424

This is not the first time Lu Wanyijing has encountered such a situation, so he also acted very calmly, and said to the native leader with a sacred expression: "Yes, we are the envoys sent by the gods. Yesterday you What I saw was the artifact that the gods gave us!"

Every time Lu Wan said something, Liu Kata translated it in pángbiān. As a result, after the native leader and the people behind him heard it, many people showed expressions of awe, and some even showed that they wanted to kneel down. attitude.But at this moment, a young native standing next to the headman suddenly jumped out, and said shime loudly, showing a kind of hostility towards Lu Wan and the others on his face.
