After the Legend Chapter 66: Homecoming

A few days later, Minna became anxious. Yutten Bobo clearly said that the ship will be arranged soon, why hasn't he mentioned sending her home yet? I heard that there was a boat going to sea a few days ago, but she didn't inform her. She went to ask and got the answer that the boat was not going to Matt, and it was not on the way. She was determined to ask about the return date, but seeing that Yotan's family was busy with the ship being detained, she was too embarrassed to push too hard.

She finds life boring. Although Yottan seems to be very loose to her, in fact, he is not as indulgent as Grandpa. Whether she is at home or going out, someone will follow her, and she can only go out in the upper city. There are only two or three commercial streets in the entire Shangcheng District. After two days of shopping, she got tired of it. She went to the pier to watch people move cargoes, and ships enter and leave the port, but it was just to pass the time. She has a criminal record of sneaking away, so Yotan guards it very tightly, even stopping him from playing on other people's boats. In addition, since Sibilla borrowed a ring to wear that day and was told by her father that her fingers were thick, she was angry with her and became indifferent to her. Mingna counts the days with her fingers every day, feeling that time is difficult.

She originally wanted to review the potion while she was free, but when Yotan heard that she had this plan, he said that he neglected her, and specially found a local singer to relieve her boredom, and gave her a lot of money The toy came, making Sibilla very unhappy. Minna was embarrassed and didn't mention it again.

Finally, the atmosphere at Yotham's house became more relaxed in the past two days, and there were more smiles on Yotham's face. Ming Na curiously inquired about the housekeeper, only to find out that it turned out that the person from the Matt firm had sent a letter, saying that the ship that had been detained had been returned, and the follow-up matters had been resolved smoothly. The business was back on the right track, so the whole family was very happy, and Yotan even told the housekeeper to give fifty copper coins to every servant in the family.

Ming Na was also happy about this, and hurriedly went to find Yutan. After congratulations, she carefully mentioned her return home.

Yutan pondered for a while, then smiled and said, "No problem, my house was inconvenient a few days ago, so I have been delaying this matter. I will ask someone to arrange it now. However, there is still one left on the dock. A large ship will go south to Shaonan in two days to transport goods. This is an appointment with the merchants over there. There is also a medium ship that will be repaired in the dock and will not be able to go to sea in three days. The rest are only you and Your grandfather took the boat when he went to the holy mountain. The boat is not as stable as the big boat, how about you wait three more days?"

Ming Na was already bored and musty, and she didn't want to wait for three more days, so she hurriedly said, "It's fine to take a boat, Uncle Yotan, I want to go home early to see my parents, so you promise me." The boat said it was "small", but it was not too small. She was not afraid.

Yutan thought about it for a while, and reluctantly agreed: "Okay, I'll ask someone to arrange it. The weather is calm and the sun is good these days, and the boat can drive very steadily. I will send a few more crew members to follow. .You go back first, when you are free later, come to play again, and I will also take Sibilla to see you and your parents."

Minna was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Hearing what he said about bringing more crew members, Minna couldn't help thinking of Corbyn and his friend named Ruhl. The last time Ruhr injured his hand, in order to earn more money, he would rather sneak Corbyn aboard and share the pay equally than give up the job. Sending myself home by boat this time is also a job, right? Wouldn't they be able to make more money if they came together?

So Minna said again: "Uncle Yotan, if you want to send a crew member, can Corbyn and Ruhl come with you? Last time I went to the Holy Mountain, they also went with me. I am familiar with them. ."

Although Yuttan was a little surprised, he agreed. He said that he would promote Corbyn, and giving Corbyn a few more trips would also increase his qualifications.

Minna got her wish and left happily. However, Yotan looked worriedly at the "storage ring" on her chest with the silk rope dangling, and sighed slightly.

He spent days trying to get the ring back without disturbing Minna. Unexpectedly, it was the one who moved a stone and smashed his own foot.

He sent the silk rope that day, just so that Minna didn't want to find out that there was something wrong with the ring, he also tried to avoid letting her use the ring these days. However, Ming Na would have taken off the ring and put it in her pocket when she was bathing or washing her face because it was inconvenient to wear. There was still a chance for others to do something. But now, she hung the ring as a pendant around her neck. Even when she was taking a bath, she just cast a water-avoidance spell and never took it off. He had no chance to move.

The silk rope cannot be cut with ordinary scissors, and it is impossible for him to take off the ring without knowing Minna. And her daughter is now angry with him because she didn't get the magic crystal, and refuses to help him anymore. He originally wanted to stay with Ming Na for a few more days, and thought of other ways, but now he can't delay it any longer. Could it be that he really wanted to tell the little girl something frankly? Every time he saw her trusting eyes, he felt uncomfortable.

The accountant stood behind him at some point: "Boss, if you don't change it, you won't be able to change it back. Let's just send the ring back to Zhufa's house." Yuta sighed: "That's all. Court, you go. Arrange the crew, count Corbyn and Ruhl, and leave tomorrow, take Minna back with the ring and the box of crystal gems."

Cott hesitated to speak, but Yotan was a little puzzled: "What's wrong? Don't you really want to go to Zhufa's house?"

"No..." Court hesitated for a moment, but then said, "Boss, I think... it's okay for gems and rings to be slower. Arthur's letter from Manado is not to say that although Wood Auction House got it We lost our two ships, but the indemnity side was empty. Is Wood's face a little gloomy? I'm afraid he will come up with another conspiracy to deal with us. We don't have much money on hand, and with those gems, we can There are many ways to retreat... Don't be angry, please listen to me, I don't want you to greedy for these treasures, just leave it for a few more days just in case. Even if it is really used, as long as we can pass the customs smoothly, we will take the money later Just make it up. If you don't do this, in case we are framed by Wood, go bankrupt, and owe Miss Minna's money, won't we be able to pay it back?"

Yutan was so proud of him that it didn't matter if it was just a few days, and he didn't want his family business to really be buried in Wood's hands.

Seeing this, Coulter continued to persuade him: "In fact, as long as Arthur's side goes well, asks the orderer to pay for the goods, and then sells the ship and the shop, it will be fine. We can immediately sell Send things back to Zhufa's house. No matter whether there is a chance to cooperate with Zhufa's house in the future, don't be afraid of Wood. Isn't that medium-sized sea ship in the dock can be repaired in a few days? You said that you would use it to evacuate all our people. Come, just drop by and deliver the things. Just wait for three or four days."

Yotan thought and thought, and sighed again: "Forget it, just do as you want." After a pause, he added: "I'll leave the ship's business to you, I've been tired recently. , I want to rest for a few days." Court was overjoyed and quickly agreed.

Minna didn't know that someone was talking about her family's property, she just happily packed her bags, put clothes, wands, change, and some other things into the satchel, and left the rest to the housekeeper to pack them, Send someone to the boat.

Sibilla leaned against the door to see her busy, then turned and left with a cold snort. When Minna heard it, she chased after him: "Sibila, I'm leaving tomorrow, I'm going to find my mother, will you come to my house to play in the future?"

Sibilla shook her head in disdain: "I don't like it!"

Ming Na was dissatisfied with her attitude: "Why do you say that? We were fine, but you suddenly ignored me these few days. Is it because of that day? But, I didn't say you were fat. , why are you mad at me?"

Sybila was irritated by her words: "I'm not fat! My father has always loved me the most, and he will agree to anything I want. But because of you, he has already scolded me a few times. Again, it's all your fault! I'm ignoring you!" After he said that, he gave her a shove and turned around and left.

Ming Na was also annoyed by her: "Ignore it and ignore it, you think I really want to put up with your bad temper?!" She also turned around and went back to the room. Sibilla's nanny saw it next to her and didn't know what to do, so she had to go after her eldest lady.

Until she left the next day, Minna ignored Sibilla. She also grew up under the love of her parents, and she used to be a willful little girl. Although she was much more obedient under the guidance of her grandfather, her grandfather always loved her and would never let her be so angry. She sees that she has tolerated Sibilla many times for Yutane's sake, but it doesn't mean that she will repeatedly forgive the other party's inexplicable face-turning. Now she is full of joy when she goes home and sees her relatives. Where is there any leisure time to pay attention to unruliness? Willful lady?

The pier in the early morning, the autumn air is refreshing.

Although it was a bit cold, people didn't feel the chill with the sun shining. Ming Na put on warm underwear and vest, tied pigtails, carried a satchel, and landed on the boat neatly, turned back to say goodbye to Yotan and others, and said, "Uncle Yotan, I will miss you, come here. Matt or Eton, remember to come and see me."

Utane smiled and said, "Okay...We'll have a boat to Matt in a few days, and Court is in charge of escorting the boat. When that time comes, he will definitely see you."

Ming Na knew that Court was the accountant's name, and turned to him in surprise: "Really? Then you must come, and I will treat you to the most delicious orange cake." She blinked: "There is no blood. Oh."

Cott laughed dryly, and said to his boss a little embarrassedly: "It's getting late, let them go, and while the wind is favorable, maybe they can reach Matt earlier."

Yotan nodded, and the ship departed soon after. Standing on the deck, Minna said goodbye to the people on the shore again, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Sibila hiding behind, looking at the departing ship from a distance, her expression a little lonely. Ming Na tilted her head and waved at her with a smile, only to see her roll her eyes and hide. Ming Na was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Because the wind was down, the crew hoisted full sail, and the ship quickly left the port, and in a short while, the city of Cameron disappeared from their sight.

For this voyage, Yotan arranged for an experienced captain and a seasoned chief mate, but due to the small size of the ship, there were only five crew members and two boatmen, and Corbyn was very lucky to be appointed as chief officer. Deputy assistant. Now, under the captain's arrangement, all of them keep their positions and perform their duties, and everything is in order.

Minna ran briskly across the deck, and although the boat was not big, it was enough to pass her time. There were crews everywhere, and she wasn't worried about any danger. With the sea breeze blowing and looking at the endless blue ocean, she was in a very happy mood. Thinking that she would see her mother soon, she couldn't sit still for a moment and wandered around on the boat.

Occasionally she came to the side of the boat, and found that the traces of the day's overturning were no longer found, and the rope loop had been removed long ago, but when she was lying on the railing and looking down, she admired her courage that day. Climb up to that high place along the rope.

Looking at the fish jumping up from time to time on the sea, Ming Na suddenly had an idea. She caught a glimpse of a few hemp ropes piled up by the mast beside her. She rolled her eyes and took advantage of people's unpreparedness and secretly got one. , one end is tied to the railing, and the other end is not looped, just hangs down like this, poking around with your hands, teasing the fish one after another, leading them to bite the rope, but seeing that they are about to bite, Pull the other end of the rope to let them fly. Seeing the fish kept jumping and jumping on the sea, but couldn't bite the rope, Minna giggled and grimaced at them.

"Is that Miss Minna? What are you doing?" A voice suddenly came from behind, Minna was startled, and hurriedly threw the rope, stood up and turned around, trying to cover the rope, and found that it was Corbyn came over.

He looked behind Ming Na with a probe: "What is that?"

"It's nothing, nothing." Ming Na waved her hands in a panic, then rushed forward and pulled him away, "You came just in time, I was looking for you, come with me." She was afraid of being discovered. With his own prank, he hurriedly dragged Corbyn into the cabin and into his room.

"What's the matter with Miss Minna looking for me?" Corbyn stood in the room, looking a little uncomfortable. His impression of this little girl is that of a noble lady who is more well-behaved than the eldest lady. Although she is easy to get along with, her willfulness can also cause headaches. Last time, it was because of her boldness that he and Ruhl indirectly lost a large amount of reward money. Although this time it was thanks to her that he got the opportunity to work, but when he thought about what he had done, he felt uneasy. . What was she looking for him for?

Minna hesitated for a long time before asking, "Corbyn, I heard someone say... Your family is very poor, isn't it? Do you owe a lot of money?"

Corbyn looked a little stiff and thought: Why is she asking this? Shouldn't it be... Did you know about your whistleblower?

"Really? Actually, I asked Ruhl, and he told me about your home." Minna didn't notice Corbyn's pale face, but just took out a money bag from her satchel, "Here Ten gold coins should be enough for you to pay off your debts, right? It’s not for you, it’s for borrowing, borrowing, and when you have money in the future, remember to pay it back to me.” She remembered that her grandfather once said that some people cannot directly give Money, the other party will be angry, it can only be said that it is borrowed.

Corbyn's face stiffened, staring straight at the purse without saying a word.

Ming Na pushed him in a puzzled way: "What's wrong with you? Take it, I already told you, it's not for you, it's a loan! When you have money, you must pay me back, uh... ...The interest is not needed. You must go to Matt Harbor with the boat often? When you want to pay back the money, just send it to my grandfather's house." So it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Corbyn silently took the purse, his eyes suddenly turned red: "Miss Mingna, I..." He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Ming Na patted him on the shoulder like an adult: "I understand, I understand, I don't need to say anything, let's work hard and make money in the future." She smiled and looked at Corbin, but the latter was sour. It's spicy, it has all kinds of flavors, and it rolls into a ball. After a long while, he nodded lightly and said, "Please rest assured, I will work hard and return the money to you as soon as possible..." Then he couldn't say any more: "I...I'll do...work first. now..."

He turned around and walked out of the room. He didn't go far before his feet softened and he sat down on the aisle. He wanted to cry, but he couldn't. He clenched his fists, and his heart was heavy.

Knowing that things could be solved so easily, he wouldn't...wouldn't...

Minna thought that Corbyn was too excited to speak because she was too happy, and she felt very happy that she had done a good deed. Later, when she saw Corbyn again, there was nothing strange about his words and actions, so she had no idea of ​​his mood.

Their boat had a tailwind for two days in a row, the speed was fast, and the sea was calm. They were lucky. On the third morning, when Minna heard from the captain that she would be able to arrive at Matt Harbor at night and have breakfast at her grandfather's house tomorrow morning, she turned somersaults on the deck with joy, which made the crew laugh~IndoMTL.com ~Look, what is that? ! "A crew member suddenly cried out, and the person standing next to him looked down his fingers and couldn't help but scream.

"What happened?" The captain pushed aside the crowd and walked over, looking out from the pergola with his hands, and his face suddenly changed: "Oh, it's a pirate! And it's a black skull flag!"

Everyone was in an uproar, and they all looked at the dark shadow that was getting closer and closer to the sky. They all hurriedly returned to their posts and followed the captain's instructions and tried to speed up to avoid the ship.

Minna hurriedly pulled over the nearest Ruhr and asked, "What is the Black Skull Flag? Are there pirates at sea here?"

It was an old boatman who answered Minna's question: "This is a pirate in the southern waters of Shaonan. With the black skull flag as a symbol, they specialize in robbing passing merchant ships. The sturdy men are all **** and sold as slaves, and only women and children are spared. But those women and children usually cannot go home alive..."

He paused, thinking: "Strange, I heard they only come out to loot in winter and spring, and they rarely come north of Bath. It's hundreds of miles from Bath. Li Yuan, it's autumn again, why did they appear here? Moreover, they were not discovered along the way?"

Minna listened to his words and looked at the ship that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and the black and white skull flag that she could clearly see, with an ominous premonition in her heart.
