Chapter 40: On the Right Track
Old Zhang stood there tremblingly, without saying a word, and quickly put down the oil cake in his hand and raised his hands to avoid being misunderstood by the other party.
At this time, not only Lao Zhang's wife observed this matter through the window. Almost everyone who could see this scene was paying attention to it. What is not to take the masses one by one and never harm the interests of the masses? Whether this sentence is credible depends on now.
The two soldiers quickly stepped forward and lifted the white cloth covered with the basket, swallowed unconsciously, then covered it again, then opened the kettle again, and found that it was only some boiling water inside, so they covered it again.
"Uncle, there is no problem. You can go to the entire island except the headquarters and the city hall, but you can go to other places." The mature soldier put the basket and kettle back to Lao Zhang's feet, and then returned to his original position.
Lao Zhang's horror finally calmed down a little. When he heard that he could go anywhere, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and quickly said, "Okay, I'll go to Lao Luo to get some medicine. My grandson has a high fever." After that, he raised his legs and walked towards the other street.
"Wait a moment." At this time, the soldier's voice sounded from behind Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang quickly stood there, not daring to move.
"Uncle, I forgot to take your stuff." The soldier put the basket and kettle in his hand at his feet and said with a smile.
Lao Zhang quickly explained: "Oh, these things are for you. Just now, my old woman saw you eating those black noodles, so she asked me to give you some..." Perhaps because she saw that the other party had no intention of hurting him, he was not so nervous.
The soldier shook his head slowly and said, "We have regulations that we are not allowed to take any of the residents' things." After that, he turned around and went back.
Lao Zhang looked at the other party in surprise. He saw clearly just now that the soldier swallowed, but now they did not have their own cakes because of some regulations. This is really strange...
With Lao Zhang's past lessons, everyone slowly tried to open the door, and some shops even hung banners like "Welcome the arrival of the Yao Chi Army", and for a time the entire Niujiao Island was peaceful.
...
Chen Yu couldn't help feeling excited when he looked at the mountains of food and weapons in front of him. This was the first real victory he had, and it was a big victory. As for the past, it was basically just a small fight.
At this time, Yang Shan took a booklet from his subordinates, opened it and looked at it for a few seconds, and then said: "The details of all things are here, but this is what they left behind before. As for the specific number, it will be found after counting."
Chen Yu took the booklet and opened it and was very happy. Although there were not many gold and silver coins, the granary was almost full, and the weapons and ammunition were enough to support Chen Yu's fleet in a four or five naval battles. However, the most pleasant one was the big boxes of pearls.
In this way, he would not have to worry about the most scarce food, and military pay was easily obtained. Just sell the expensive pearls in the warehouse.
Chen Yu has a good habit, that is, be prepared for danger in times of peace. As for the Grand Duke of the Sea Shark, he can think of it with his toes, and he will definitely not let him go. Therefore, Chen Yu is very busy every day now. While personally directing the restoration of the port’s defense system, he also has to hold mobilization meetings every day, and often even have to go to battle in person.
After working hard for more than twenty days, Tang Bing finally arrived late, and the Snake Island could not leave. After all, there was a critical moment of large-scale development. If a strong commander was lacking, the work efficiency would definitely decrease a lot.
In this way, Tang Bing arranged for Ma Kui, Tony and others to sit in Yaochi, and rushed over without stopping. Of course, he also brought Ling Yao over. After all, she and Chen Yu are already married now, so it is definitely not good to separate from each other for a long time.
As soon as Tang Bing arrived, Chen Yu immediately became much more relaxed. All the work was carried out in an orderly manner under the command of Tang Bing, without any chaotic feeling, and the speed was increased by several points.
Before I knew it, a month passed, and everything gradually stabilized.
On this day, Chen Yu set up a big meal to invite people to dinner, and many invitations were sent out. In addition to the senior executives on his side, the most important guest was Philip, followed by some respected indigenous peoples of Niujiao Island. With their help, the work of Yao Chi Army on Niujiao Island can be accelerated.
Although it was preparing for a dinner, before it was dark, Chen Yu and Ling Yao and the others changed into formal clothes. Behind them were there, and they stood at the door waiting for the guests to come.
Chen Yu was wearing a black suit and a pair of gray calfskin shoes. This was made by the best craftsman on Niujiao Island. His black hair was combed shiny, and he looked very solemn but not without losing his affinity.
Ling Yao was wearing a white evening dress, wearing a pair of beige high-heeled sandals, and a string of round, plump and bright black pearl necklaces on her neck. Her temperament was really unparalleled. Almost everyone who saw Ling Yao couldn't help but slow down. If Chen Yu and others hadn't looked at them with murderous eyes, their legs would probably not be able to move.
As soon as it was seven to fifty minutes, Philip came with a few subordinates. Why did he say it was a big fan? Because you could hear Philip's hearty laughter from a distance, and you could hear him very happy today.
Chen Yu stepped forward and gave Philip a bear hug, and then said, "Uncle Fei, we both haven't had a good time drinking it for a long time."
Philip laughed, reached out and patted Chen Yu on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, I'll have a good drink of your wedding banquet today. By the way, you guys have to make up for the last time."
This was just a point of meaning. Chen Yu quickly reached out to pull Ling Yao over and smiled and said, "Uncle Fei, this is Ling Yao, your niece-in-law."
Ling Yao smiled openly and stretched out her hand and said, "Uncle Fei, the most famous pirate in the Roland Sea, has long heard of your old name."
Philip laughed, and stretched out his hand to hold Ling Yao a little, and said with a smile: "You little girl is not simple. She is not only beautiful, but also eloquent. It seems that Xiaoyu has taken a big advantage, so I feel relieved."
Chen Yu was joking and welcomed everyone into the hall. After leaving Tang Bing and a few others to accompany him, he pulled Ling Yao out to welcome the guests. Originally, it would be better to let his subordinates do the wedding. If he was afraid that the other party would dislike him, he would also let Yang Shan come, but Chen Yu still wanted to come by himself. In his opinion, this was a kind of respect for others. After all, the host who treats the guests was himself, not Yang Shan.
A few minutes later, four or five elders and more than a dozen middle-aged people arrived. Chen Yu saw this and hurriedly went up to him, "Oh, it's really a mistake to welcome him. The old men went to the banquet in person, which really made the boy ashamed."
