Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1856 Gift giving

   Soon, Hei Niu and the others salvaged the sunken wood, and this one was much thicker than the last black sunken wood.

   "Hahaha, this one is thicker than Heivine and the others, and we are luckier than them. This time, Heivine and the others should envy us, hahaha, of course others will envy us even more."

  Hei Niu's eyes were full of golden light, and he excitedly patted the sunken wood that he had scooped up, and the sound almost flowed out.

   "Hei Niu, you are too proud." A Japanese pirate on the same boat inspected it and shook his head regretfully.

   "Fuck, fake scholar, what do you mean by saying that? You don't have eyes, they are so thick and long, you can't see them?!"

  Hei Niu immediately became unhappy when he heard it, staring at a pair of bull's eyes, angrily and directly started to yell.

   "What do you know? To tell whether a piece of sunken wood is worth money or not is not just based on its thickness and length."

  The Japanese pirate nicknamed False Scholar shook his head and said.

   "If you don't look at the thickness and length, what do you look at?" Hei Niu interrupted the false scholar's words with staring eyes, and said angrily.

   "It depends on the material. What Hei Teng and the others salvaged is ebony, but ours is just willow, and we have no intention of sinking in the water. It is estimated that it will not exceed ten years. This one is not worth a few dozen taels of silver."

  The fake scholar sighed and said regretfully.

"Fuck, don't pretend to be a fake scholar. Don't think that if they call you a scholar, you are a real scholar. If it weren't for your fake surname, we wouldn't call you a scholar. You just don't want us to read a few more books. It’s just books, and even a child student didn’t pass the exam.” Hei Niu said unwillingly when he heard that the fake scholar said that the sunken wood they scooped up was worthless.

   "Ebony and willow, can't you tell the difference?!" The fake scholar was exposed, and countered with a dark face.

  Hei Niu looked down again, then pulled his face down, and cursed, "Damn, it's really willow!"

"Hahaha"

  Other pirates on the boat couldn't help laughing when they saw Hei Niu's mournful look.

  Hei Niu and the others were delayed in salvaging willow and sunken wood for at least ten minutes. Because of their delay, all the boats behind were delayed.

  The Japanese pirate fleet has just turned around the river mouth. Due to the delay of Hei Niu and the others, the Japanese pirate fleet is blocked here, like dumplings, densely packed, blocking the river that has just turned.

Soon, the other Japanese pirate ships that turned one after another also heard the news that Hei Niu and his pilot boat caught another sunken log. Fortunately, it was only a willow sunken wood, not worth much money, otherwise they would be envious and jealous again .

   "Hehe, these idiots, do you really think that Wu Chenmu is so easy to meet? If it is so easy to meet, it wouldn't be so valuable." After Chen Dong heard the news, he shook his head and laughed.

"This group of idiots!" Ma Ye also laughed and cursed, "Hearing the noise outside, I thought we were lucky enough to meet another piece of ebony wood, which could spread auspiciousness and boost morale. No It's boring to think that it's just a willow log, or the kind with a very short age."

   "Hehe, in fact, Liu Shenmu is not too bad. Although it is worth less money, it is a rare Shenmu after all. It can also be used as an auspicious publicity." Chen Dong smiled and said better than nothing.

"What's wrong, the new pilot boat also encountered a sunken log?! Why did I feel that something was wrong, and I only salvaged a sunken log, but why did I encounter another sunken log?! Usually, I don't necessarily encounter it in ten days and a half months. Seeing one piece of sinking wood, you met two in one day?!" Xu Hai rubbed his chin, squinted his eyes, and said suspiciously.

"Hehe, if we met another ebony wood, then something is wrong, but this time it is just a willow wood that is not very valuable, it is just a coincidence." Chen Dong said disapprovingly .

"No, I still feel something is wrong. Even Shen Mu has encountered too many things. Anyway, there must be monsters." Xu Hai shook his head, and felt that something was abnormal, so he got up and shouted outside the cabin , "Come here! Come!"

   "Boss." A few Japanese pirates who were waiting outside the cabin came in.

   "Quickly pass down the order to strengthen the vigilance of all ships. In addition, send two groups of people to investigate on both sides of the strait until the fleet reaches the outlet." Xu Hai gave the order with a serious face.

"Brother Xu, it's not necessary. The Ming people's cities around here have been frightened by us a long time ago. How dare they harass our fleet? On the contrary, they are probably praying to God and Buddha now, and praying that we will not attack Jie along the way. Loot them." Ma Yejue Xu Hai made a big fuss and said disapprovingly.

  Although Chen Dong didn't speak, he had a somewhat surprised expression on his face. Xu Hai didn't think so.

   "You can't be too careful." Xu Hai explained to the two of them.

   "Well, it makes sense." Chen Dong and Ma Ye were persuaded by Xu Hai's words, yes, they can't be too careful.

  The Japanese pirates led the order to convey Xu Hai's order.

  As soon as the Japanese pirates left Xu Hai's flagship cabin, and before they could convey Xu Hai's order, they heard a panicked sound from outside.

"What's the matter, **** it!" Xu Hai heard the panicked voice outside, and his heart skipped a beat. Realizing that something went wrong, he rushed out of the cabin, grabbed a Japanese pirate and gritted his teeth and asked, "What's the matter? Are you making such a fuss?" What?!"

  Chen Dong and Ma Ye also immediately realized that something happened outside, and rushed out of the cabin after chasing Xu Hai.

   "Back, back!" The pirate caught by Xu Hai panicked and shouted loudly, pointing at the back.

   "What's going on behind?" Xu Hai, Chen Dong, and Ma Ye turned their heads in the direction pointed by the Japanese pirates almost at the same time.

   Then, their faces changed drastically.

   At the junction of the river in the back, dozens of rafts appeared at some point, and the rafts were piled up with hay, firewood, and sulfur.

   There was a smell of grease in the distance. Needless to say, the hay and firewood on the raft must have been poured with kerosene.

  There are three Zhejiang soldiers on each raft. One Zhejiang soldier holds a long pole and pokes hard at the bottom of the river to push the raft, and the other two are paddling, driving the raft to approach the Japanese pirate fleet at high speed.

  Behind these rafts filled with dry firewood and straw, there are more than a dozen larger rafts.

   "Hahaha, little Japanese pirates, grandpas are here to give you gifts. This is a great gift carefully prepared by our adults. Please accept it."

   "Hahaha, little Japanese pirates, it's time to accept the gift, don't disappoint the kindness of grandpa."

  The Ming army on the raft filled with dry firewood and straw laughed loudly, and shouted as they quickly approached the Japanese pirate fleet.

"Damn it! They want to use fire to attack! Shoot arrows, shoot arrows, don't let them get close to the fleet! The fleet rushes forward, get rid of them!" Xu Hai reacted immediately, and the hairs all over his body stood on end. His face paled instantly, and he yelled in a hurry.
