After the Legend Chapter 57: Crow (Part 1)

The next day, Yutten sent someone back to the Manado to sell the shop, and he took the rest of the crew on board and returned to Cameron. He knew that Wood's Auction House's plan had failed, and he would not let it go easily. Let's do business exclusively between Cameron and Matt Harbour.

As for Xiao Tianjian, after thinking it over and over again, he decided to write a letter to send to his daughter-in-law's family. In the letter, he explained what he and his granddaughter had seen, focusing on the sadness of the child, and asked Dora to clarify her plans, not to betray the family and make her husband and daughter sad. He also mentioned in the letter that he was going to take Minna to Cameron to play for a few days, hoping that Dora would not let them down after returning.

After writing the letter, he looked at his little granddaughter who had been staring at his pen and sighed. Although he didn't like Dora, his daughter-in-law, for Ming Na's sake, he still hoped that his son could live in harmony. After thinking about it, he added a few more words, implying that Anlong didn't do anything wrong to his wife, he just made that illusion out of a certain need, and repeatedly drove his wife and daughter away from his side, entirely for their sake. safety, advise daughter-in-law Dora not to misunderstand him.

Minna blinked when she saw these words: "Grandpa, what is Dad going to do? Is it dangerous?" Could it be that what those people said yesterday wasn't true?

Xiao Tianjian hesitated for a moment, then said: "You are still young, I can't tell you, anyway, you just need to remember that your father didn't do anything bad." Ming Na looked at his expression, and became serious and serious. nodded.

Xiao Tianjian handed the letter to the people from the Xiao family branch, took some money and took it with him, then took his granddaughter to Yuttan's boat and set off for Kameijia.

The journey is boring. Ming Na has been living by the sea or at sea for two or three consecutive months, and there is nothing new left. Yutan brought limited toys, and as a gift to his beloved daughter, it was impossible for her to play with it. At first, Xiao Tianjian and Youtan talked about the events after their separation and their past experiences. Ming Na listened to it with great interest for a day, but over time, she felt that her own experience was more interesting, and she became impatient to listen to others. . With two old men drinking and reminiscing in the cabin, she walked to the deck alone.

Yutan's fleet has a total of two large ships and three medium ships, and a dozen or so small sampans are attached to the ships. This time, in addition to a large one, it is also transporting goods in the southern waters. A medium ship remained in Matt Harbor, and the rest returned to Camerga with them. Minna was on one of the largest ships, and she remembered that the bilges were loaded with flour, butter, sugar, eggs, vegetables and fruits, wine, glassware, and cloth, and the other ships were loaded with livestock, poultry, and wood and the like. . There are many crew members on the deck. I heard that there are nearly 200 people under Yutan, all of whom are capable and strong. Mingna walks around alone and is not worried about danger.

She was lying on the stern side of the boat, looking at Matt Harbor where only a small black spot remained in the distance, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't know if it was right for her to leave like this. Originally, she thought that both parents had done bad things. They each found a lover, and they probably didn't want her anymore, so she felt very sad. Now, even though she knew that her father had done nothing wrong, she still felt sad when she thought of her mother's side.

I remember that when I was in the Wesha Desert, my grandfather once said that although he had enjoyed a lot of good things, power, wealth, fame... But he still hoped that he would still be the little clerk who gets two or three thousand a month. (She doesn't quite understand why people who get two or three thousand gold coins every month are still clerks.) She can live happily with her family. And what about her? Although she has visited the whole continent and learned a lot of things she didn't know before, she still misses the days when a family of five happily lived together in Qidong.

Hmph, it's all the fault of that vicious woman named Veronica, and that little white face (Xiao Tianjianyu) named Goodwin! They made Mom and Dad leave!

Several strands of straw are strewn about the deck, which appear to have been dropped by the crew while carrying cargo. Ming Na was angry for a while, and kicked one of them fiercely. The flying grass and dust fell, but it happened to fall on the oncoming crew member, and then slipped into the food plate in his hand. The crew member lost his voice: "Oh, who did a good job?!"

When Ming Na saw that she was in trouble, she hurriedly ran over and bowed her head to apologize: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." She felt uneasy, the other party wouldn't get angry, right?

The crewman looked very young, only in his twenties, with a thin stature, a pointed face, and a small nose and eyes. He looked at Ming Na for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Aren't you the little lady who came aboard with our boss' noble friend? It's okay, but what are you kicking the rope for?" , shook the plate, patted off the dust on the bread, bent down and showed it to Ming Na: "It's just a little dust, just pat it and it'll be fine."

Ming Na blushed and whispered, "I... I was in a bad mood for a while, so I just... kicked it casually... I really didn't mean it... I-I'll help you get a clean one. Food." He stretched out his hand to pick it up.

The crewman smiled and moved away: "It really doesn't matter. Today is bread and wheat cakes, not fish soup. It doesn't matter if you dip in grass ashes. Don't worry about it, young lady." He covered it to the side cautiously. Sitting down on the sackcloth box, he gulps down the bread, then lifts the sackcloth next to him, wipes the surface of the box with his sleeves, and says, "Are you tired from standing? Please sit down, please sit down, this is not dirty. Why is the young lady in such a mood? Not good? The sea is beautiful."

Seeing that he really didn't care, Ming Na felt relieved. Seeing how warm and friendly he was, she sat down on the box. But she didn't want to tell strangers why she was unhappy, so she just kept her head down and didn't speak.

The crew member didn't continue to ask, and said, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, but a noble child like you, why bother? You should be happy."

Minna glanced at him and tilted her head: "Are you from Bath? Are you a slave on a ship?" Judging from his appearance, his skin is dark, but a little yellowish, with brown hair and brown eyes, although he is tall He is short and has a hunchback, but the blue veins and calluses on his hands indicate that he is a man of strength. It seems that it is very popular to drive Bath slaves in the southeastern coastal areas of the mainland. She has also seen them in Gutenberg. Compared with the crew in front of them, those slaves just have less dark skin.

The crew member hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I'm from Bath, but I'm not a slave, really! Look, I don't have a slave mark on me." He took off his collar to show his dark and clean chest, "My name is Keke. Bing, my whole family lives in Lower Camecca, and I'm a crew member under Lord Yutane, not a slave!"

"Oh." Minna didn't care if he was a slave or not, she was just curious. Seeing that this Bass crewman looked similar to the legend, she didn't ask any more questions.

Corbyn finished his lunch in two bites, glanced at Ming Na, and said with a smile, "Miss, are you feeling bored? Actually, the boat is very fun."

Ming Na looked at him: "I've seen it everywhere, where's the fun? It's no different from other ships." If she wanted to play, she would have been tired of playing the way before.

Corbyn rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "It turns out that the little miss is often on boats? No wonder. Why don't I show you something you haven't seen before?"

Minna became interested: "What is it?"

“Guess what?” Corbyn suddenly jumped up, climbed to the mast behind him, scratched his head and shrank his feet, grimaced, and then jumped into the pile of boxes, flipping off the deck in a tug of war, Standing on one foot, the other foot is shrunk, the arms are raised, the hands are claw-like, and the mouth is bluffing.

Minna smiled and ducked: "It's a monkey!" Bass Island's specialty big-eared monkey has a picture in the school's geography textbook, which is almost like this. "Learn the truth! What about the big ears? Monkeys have big ears!" Minna shouted.

Corbyn is as good as he is, with his hands around his ears, making a gesture: "I'm a monkey, I have big ears, I'm a monkey, I have big ears..." He also pretended to make faces beside Minna, Made her giggle.

"Ming Na, so you are here." Xiao Tianjian's voice came from behind, Ming Na looked back, and sure enough it was him: "Grandpa!" She rushed over.

Xiao Tianjian hugged her and said with a smile, "Aren't you hungry? It's already time to eat." Ming Na touched her stomach, and she was really hungry. Is it already noon? She didn't notice that Corbyn was eating just now.

Corbin saw Xiao Tianjian, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and bowed to him with a smile on his face: "Hello, nobleman, the villain is a crew member of Boss Yotan."

Xiao Tianjian looked at him and frowned slightly: "Are you a slave of Bath? What were you doing just now?" Ming Na whispered: "Grandpa, Corbyn is not a slave, he was just pretending to be a monkey and me. Let's play." Corbyn showed a pleasing smile and bowed: "The villain sees the little lady in a bad mood, so he wants to make her happy. Everyone says that the villain pretends to be a monkey, so..."

Xiao Tianjian interrupted him before he finished listening: "Is that so? It's hard work for you, so go ahead and do it." He threw a gold coin as a reward. Tun said: "You can ask the villain to do anything, and the villain is at your command at any time." Xiao Tianjian glanced at him with some disgust, then pulled his granddaughter and walked into the cabin. Ming Na hurriedly turned around to say goodbye to Corbin, who smiled and waved, looked down at the gold coin she just got, took a bite, and put it in her arms.

Ming Na secretly smiled and turned her head, and whispered to her grandfather, "Corbin is biting on gold coins, it's really fun." Xiao Tianjian dragged her into the cabin, instead of going to the dining room, he entered her room instead, facing her seriously Said: "Minna, have you forgotten what I told you? Don't think he is a good person just because someone is nice to you and makes you happy. Did you forget about Frido?"

Minna put away her smile and stuck her tongue out. Grandpa always believed that the storm in the Wesha Desert was a secret trap set by Frido, so he sneaked back to Mengli to look for his bad luck, but he could not find him. It is said that he had offended someone and hid. Grandpa has been very depressed. But in Minna's view, how did Frido know when there would be a desert storm? How did they know they would throw away horses and food? So it was just an accident.

And Corbyn is even more different, he's just making fun of himself.

Ming Na said: "Grandpa, Corbyn only plays with me when he sees me bored. He is not a bad guy."

Xiao Tianjian snorted coldly: "How do you know he doesn't have ulterior motives? I hate him when I see his flattering smile, frowning, and bowing... he doesn't look like a man at all." I have bad associations, and I remember people from a certain country. It happens that Bath is an island country located in the east sea. It believes in gods. Although it is docile on the surface, it is actually cruel to be ruthless. It is said that there was once a slave of Bath. He betrayed his master and caused hundreds of casualties, so he had no good feelings for the people of this island country.

Minna asked suspiciously, "Is that so?" But she thought Corbins were very kind.

Xiao Tianjian patted her on the head: "You are young and ignorant, and you can't judge who is right and who is wrong, so you have to be extra careful. People like Corbin who specialize in flattering rich and powerful people don't know how to work honestly. Yes, you have to be more careful and don't trust him too much, you know?"

Minna nodded hesitantly, and soon the growling in her stomach reminded her that it was time to eat. The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled, and went to the restaurant together.

The ship was at sea for three days, and on the morning of the fourth day, they reached Cameron. Ming Na looked at the large building near the pier, her eyes widened in surprise.

She had learned about the country in school, and she always thought it was a coral island ten times bigger. The sea was beautiful, there were beaches, there were trees on the island, and there weren't many houses... Unexpectedly, it caught her eye. It is a city about the size of Gutenberg. The houses are connected one by one, and the water is as turbid as that on the East side. Ships are densely docked by the sea, and many people are walking on the shore. skin, wearing a white light-colored robe, with small dark curly hair on his head. Many of them were short and hunchbacked Bass, with heavy cargo strapped to their backs, running back and forth on the dock.

"This is Kamecca City." Yutan said happily to Mingna's grandfather and grandson, "Xiao, it has been fifteen years since you left, haven't you been here? The current Kamecca has changed a lot. , you must not recognize it."

Xiao Tianjian smiled and looked at the land: "It is indeed prosperous a lot, and your days are getting better, right?"

Yutan smiled and nodded, looked back and ordered the crew to dock, and assigned a few people to other ships to supervise the unloading, and accompany the guests to disembark. But when the ship just docked, it was impossible for his boss to relax. After continuous reports of such and other problems with the cargo on the ship, he finally had to leave temporarily. Xiao Tianjian didn't care, and took his granddaughter to disembark first.

Several long boards have been built on the side of the boat to connect to the land for people to get on and off the boat. Ming Na stepped on one of them and walked down, but she heard a commotion next to her, and turned her head to look.

It turned out to be a dozen or so Cameron children watching around the boat, pointing with their hands, taking pictures of the cargo boxes that came off the boat from time to time, and laughing with each other.

A person on the boat came down with a cargo box on his back. Seeing this, he hurriedly put the box down. He walked over and waved and scolded the people: "Go, go, play, what if you touch the box?!" The group of children He refused to leave obediently, and even made faces at him, he was so angry that he was about to hit him.

Minna recognizes that it is Corbyn. Seeing this, Xiao Tianjian shouted: "Stop it! What are you doing?!" Corbin turned around and smiled and bowed: "Master noble, these children are ignorant, I'm afraid they will break..."

“Those are big crates, how could they be damaged so easily? Children are ignorant, just persuade them well, why beat people?” Xiao Tianjian looked at him in disgust, “Stop showing such grievances. Come on, have I wronged you?!"

Corbyn lowered his head and didn't speak. A child next to him shouted, "This Bath slave is the worst. He scare us every time!" Also agreeing.

Corbin glared at them secretly, and whispered: "I'm not a slave!" The children made faces at him and complained to Xiao Tianjian: "Look, sir, he's still scaring us!"

Xiao Tianjian stared at Corbin coldly, then turned to his granddaughter and said, "Ming Na, did you see clearly this time? I said earlier that he is not a good person, but he actually bullies children, hum!" Ming Na nodded, Looking at Corbyn with some regret. The latter shrank his head and bent his waist lower~IndoMTL.com~ Youtan stepped out of the boat at this time, and upon seeing this, he asked, "What happened?" Xiao Tianjian said, "It's nothing, but Lao You, you When hiring people, you should also pick and choose, and don’t accept people with personality problems, lest they cause trouble and implicate you in the future.” After saying that, he ignored Corbyn and walked forward with his granddaughter. Yotan hesitated to look at several busy crew members nearby, then looked at Corbyn again, and frowned, "Aren't you going to work soon?"

Corbyn hurriedly bowed in response, turning back to pick up the cargo. The group of children refused to let him go, and still gathered around and shouted: "You are about to lose your job, let's see if you are still showing your prestige!"

Another crew member came over and scolded them: "You brat, get out now! If you don't leave, I'll go find your parents!"

The crew member comforted Corbyn and said, "Don't take it to heart, these little devils have always been annoying, the boss knows it." Corbyn nodded and walked forward in silence.

Passing by another ship, two crew members were carrying a bundle of lumber. Another accidentally touched the lumber. His companion saw it from behind, and rushed up to push him away: "Be careful!" Corbyn avoided the wood, but his companion fell, and the slipped wood hit his hand, and his wrist was suddenly blue.

Corbyn leaned over worriedly: "Ruhl, are you all right?"

Ruhr turned his wrist: "It's okay, it just hurts a little bit. Just take a break." He patted Corbyn's shoulder with his other hand: "I know you're in a bad mood, but you need to walk Just be careful." Corbyn nodded embarrassedly, helped him up, and faced the three companions who ran over and caused the accident.
