Chapter 213 The Sadness of the Old Times

The era of the Caribbean world is a bit unclear. It can only be said that the Ming Dynasty perished around the 16th to 17th centuries. At this time, people from the Ming Dynasty appeared, which means that at least in the early 17th century, Xiao Zhi was too lazy to care about these things. Since the home court of this world is in the Caribbean world, let’s follow the home court…

After buying the little girl, Xiao Zhi didn't finish her poor origin, but just pressed her head gently: "Qi'er, when you were embroidering and making female red at home, you had never seen the suffering of the world. Now that you have come out, you must muster up the courage to face everything. Even if the sky falls, you must have the courage to get it to pieces! Only in this way can you seek a trace of vitality in this chaotic world."

Que'er was a little puzzled: "Will the uncle not go back to the Ming Dynasty? Que'er wants to go back to the Ming Dynasty with you. Dad is very rich and will thank you!"

Xiao Zhi laughed and said, "Money in this world is not important to me. I won't talk about whether I will go to the Ming Dynasty. Even if I go there, I will take you and help you find your family. Do you think your father and mother will ask you to recognize you again?"

The old days were so cruel. A yellow girl didn’t go out easily. If she went out, she would be distorted, and became the so-called “showing out” and would not get married. If she was accidentally defiled by evil people, or was robbed on the mountain by bandits, then there was only a dead end to waiting for them…

It's very simple. If they were not killed by evil bandits, they would be killed by people in the family if they rushed home. At that time, people were stubborn and sensitive to chastity and could not tolerate anything possible. Even if evil people did not do anything to the girl, they had to be drowned in a pig cage. Only in this way can they not have gossip and smear the reputation of their family members. The most important thing is that scholars must not have any humiliating things at home if they want to take the exam for fame or other things, otherwise they will easily cause trouble.

Que'er has lived in this environment for a long time and has been instilled with various four symbols of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since childhood.

She knew very well the importance of reputation and chastity. She was a smart girl, otherwise she would not have pretended to be sick and successfully ran out of the goatee's hand. She quickly figured out the key, and her face suddenly turned pale: "If... in this case, Que'er can't go back to her home, and the world is so great that there is no place to live."

Xiao Zhi took out a bag of shillings from his pocket and threw them hard in the distance. The shillings inside spilled out and fell all over the ground. The slags wandering on the street rushed up and picked up shillings on the ground frantically. Some even fought for a shilling stuck in the gap, which was extremely cruel...

He pointed to these people: "Qi'er, human destiny can be chosen by oneself. In the torrent of destiny, we can be the strongest fish in the torrent as long as we work hard! When you are strong enough, the torrent can no longer bind you. When the fish jumps to the dragon gate and becomes a thing of the nine heavens, it is time to control your own destiny..."

Que'er's lips turned white: "A thing from the nine heavens? Wouldn't you be the emperor? Que'er dared not, she wanted to be beheaded."

Xiao Zhi's mouth twitched twice, and told the ten-year-old child that this was a bit too complicated. He smiled faintly and said, "Forget it, you will understand these words in the future. The most urgent task is to learn how to save your life in danger. After all, if you die, there will be no future... I will save you for a while, but I will not become your nanny and will block you too much wind and rain."

Que'er seemed to understand, and she knelt down and kowtowed hard at Xiao Zhi three times: "Qi'er thanked the uncle for saving his life, but she had no choice but to repay him. She just wanted to serve tea and water next to her. If the crisis came, she would never add any trouble to the uncle!"

The black bodyguard next to him, Owen Galli, was a little confused. Xiao Zhi and Que'er used the Ming language. He was confused, but he could vaguely guessed that Xiao Zhi accepted this child as a servant.

At this moment, another black man also came back, carrying a man on his shoulder and trotted over: "Boss, I have brought Jeshmi Gibbs back, do you think it's him?" He said that, throwing the man to the ground. This was an old man wearing a gray shirt and a dark green vest, with a national face, two white beards on his cheeks, and a bearded old man.

Yes, he is Jeshmi Gibbs, who Xiao Zhi is looking for. At this moment, he is drunk and smells all over his body.

Xiao Zhi handed over a small cloth bag: "Find a place, clean it for him and then change the clothes that are suitable for clean clothes. I'll wait for you in a tavern nearby... The remaining money will be used as a labor fee for you." The black man who brought Jeshmi back was named Kado. He felt that the bag was quite substantial and smiled and said there was no problem...

The black bodyguard standing next to him, Owen, has been guarding Xiao Zhi from the beginning and the end. He saw him take out a small cloth bag from his pocket for a while, and he was a little suspicious of his eyes. Xiao Zhi's pocket was so shriveled, why could he take out such a bulging thing?

Xiao Zhi ordered a glass of wine in the tavern next to him and drank slowly.

Soon Kado brought Jeshmi back with him. After the black boss's rough cleaning, Jeshmi was much more energetic. He looked at Xiao Zhi alertly: "Who are you? Why do you want to find an old drunk like me?"

Xiao Zhi raised his hand and soon the waiter with a flower-shaped arm brought a glass of wine. He pushed it to Jeshmi and smiled, "I just need an experienced old sailor, and you happen to be that person."

Jeshmi and Captain Jack are good friends with good relationships. After Barbosa betrayed Jack eight years ago, Captain Jack wandered around dejectedly. Without his lovely sailing partners, Jeshmi stayed in this chaotic landmark, dreaming of being an old drunk, and planned to spend the rest of his life in this wasteland.

Xiao Zhi said: "You come to be the second mate on the boat, and I will give you two gold coins every month as rewards."

This can be considered a big deal to recruit people. You should know that recruiting crew members in Tutujia Port, even if you are only responsible for two meals, you can call a lot of people on board. Of course, you can naturally not get any good products when you make money with nothing, let alone expect them to have excellent skills. Two gold coins are the treatment that only elites can enjoy...

Jeshmi picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He laughed twice: "It's just an old drunkard. He can't afford such a big position as a second coupon. Two gold coins can find a lot of young and smarter talents than me. Don't waste time on me, thank you for your fine wine..."

Xiao Zhi said lightly: "Jack will go, too."

Jeshmi was about to get up and stopped moving: "Who are you talking about?"

Xiao Zhi said: "Jack Sparrow, the crazy-looking captain of the Black Pearl."

Jeshmi looked around and didn't see Jack. He said disappointedly: "It's a good joke. Jack has long lost his ship and is no longer the captain. Even if you want to sail, where is your ship?"
