Half an hour later, the Haicang ship "Flying Tianjin Man" arrived.

"Lao Gu, catching fish this afternoon is really one of life's great joys. If I had known that I would have such a pleasant enjoyment, I wouldn't have stayed in the camp and dreamed of Duke Zhou as my only pastime..." It's not enough to use it up in a hurry. After a sumptuous lunch, Kang Lin, who was in high spirits, ordered someone to find a wooden pole and a rope, then climbed onto his ship Haicang, and started a pleasant afternoon fishing accompanied by Gu Wenlai! Of course, some necessary work needed to be completed before that. In order to get rid of Yan Xiaosong and Chang Jiansheng who were chattering and having constant problems, he had exchanged a large amount of salt from the system, enough to kill everyone. …

"Yes, leader, the big fish you catch yourself will taste more delicious after cooking..." As he spoke, there was already movement in Gu Wenlai's area, as the fishing line drew an exaggerated sound in the air. The next moment, a big, lively thing was lifted up effortlessly by this guy. According to the visual inspection of the sailors, the unlucky thing weighed at least three or four kilograms! This made the turbaned man who came out on top so proud that he smiled so much that he could hardly close his mouth.

"Good luck guy! However, I will not admit defeat!" Seeing that Gu Wen Lai had been obtained, Kang Lin couldn't help but feel anxious. However, due to his status as the leader of the fleet, his fat face could not be shown. He looked slightly anxious, so the anxious man quietly handed the fishing rod from his left hand to his right hand, took the tea brought by the maid Xiao'e with his free left hand, and took a gulp of it to relieve the anxiety caused by his heart. Feeling of dry mouth and tongue.

"Then wait for the good news from the leader!" Gu Wenlai was obviously a clever and agile guy. After seeing his leader's embarrassment, he hurriedly spoke to comfort his leader. However, this guy's luck was really good today, and his wrist sank. , and another big fish was lifted up by him with a flick of his hand! And below him, on the side of the Haicang ship, four or five off-duty sailors also made good gains at this time. For a moment, only the old god was there, and the leader of Kangda, who was sitting on a special wicker chair, had not yet opened his mouth. .

"Mom, you can't carry it like this, why is there no movement here when everyone else has caught it! Hey, the fishing rod is a bit heavy, maybe a fish has taken the bait..." However, this situation did not last long! Because just when Kang Lin was red-eyed and feeling sorry for himself, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly sank, as if a fish had bitten the bacon tied to the rope. The next moment, leader Kang Lin and Kang Da No longer caring about maintaining the reserve and dignity of a big leader, he stood up with a "ooh" and lifted the fishing rod vigorously. In an instant, a large sea fish of about five or six kilograms rolled out of the sea!

"Boss, you are so awesome. You caught such a big fish in just one move. It's really great..." On the other side, when I saw that my leader had won the first battle and caught such a big fish, the little boy who was standing next to him was waiting. E immediately clapped her hands excitedly, and then the little girl rushed up and picked it up without caring about the smell of fish in the sea.

"I think back then, my team had just opened, and there were only a dozen people and seven or eight guns in total..."

Although Kang Lin was no less excited than his maid in arranging fishing ropes, tying meat, and throwing poles, as a superior, he had to suppress himself to maintain the majesty of a leader. Therefore, his completely out-of-tune aria of the Peking Opera "Shajiabang" was soon heard on the deck, just like howling ghosts and wolves...

Thirteen black sea bream, eighteen red sea bream, nine spiny sea bream, thirty-two sea bass, twenty-three large and small yellow croakers, dozens of sea crabs and lobsters, and a lot of miscellaneous fish that I don’t know whether they are edible. In just one hour, the eight-person fishing team caught more than a hundred sea fish of various sizes from the light blue water. The speed was comparable to the famous fish in Southeast Asian countries. Pole fishing! These fish catches not only made the leader of Kangda sigh that "the ocean is really a natural pasture for mankind", but also made Yan Xiaosong and Chang Jiansheng, who were in charge of the logistics work, smile. The amount of fish caught in one hour was so large. If this continues, food will no longer be a thorny issue that bothers everyone.

"Okay, I'm a little tired after fishing for such a long time today. Besides, there are some official matters to be handled in the account. Lao Gu, I'll leave this to you, so I'll leave first..." I caught a fish in the afternoon. At the time of the fish, Kang Lin, who was sweating profusely as he saw the sun getting fiercer, felt that he could no longer hold on any longer. Then he remembered that there were still some official matters in the account that he needed to deal with, so he handed the fishing rod in his hand to the attendant. The personal guard himself took his attendants and maids down to the boat, and the sailor on duty rowed the boat to the shore.

"I've seen the leader!" However, when Kang Lin and others, who were returning to the camp on foot, passed a checkpoint next to the woods, they discovered that the soldiers who were supposed to be on duty here not only did not stick to their posts, but instead hid in the shade of the trees. They had a tea break and a spanking. It wasn't until they saw Kang Lin, the leader, arriving that the gang of killers hurriedly put down their tea bowls and stepped forward to greet them! And what could Kang Lin say at this moment, whether to scold them righteously for disrespecting military orders, or angrily scold them for leaving their posts without permission. After all, these guys had only gone through less than half a day of training and discipline. It was reasonable to be a little loose. Therefore, Kang Lin could only put away the worried look on his face, waved his hand to let him get up and return to his post, and continue his guarding work! Then, in order to relieve the unhappiness in his heart, this guy couldn't help but take deep breaths several times before turning his attention from those incompetent men to Huang Wei who was swinging in the air! Thanks to Taoist Sanqing, Tathagata Buddha, he suddenly found that he had a new target to vent his anger.

"How about it, Mr. Baijiang, don't you feel uncomfortable swinging on the swing! Please, please, I will put you down. Do you still expect your two companions to save you at this time?"

"Nothing, nonsense, stop talking nonsense, if you have the guts, if you have the guts, kill me, kill me, I want it, I want it, grandpa, grandpa, please, don't, don't fucking dream..." After a long time of exposure, again Without the moisture of water, Huang Wei never felt so weak for a moment. His chapped lips and dry throat made it difficult for him to speak coherently. It was like rough-edged glass scraping against iron, but he could hold on to speak. It all depends on the tenacity in his heart that never admits defeat!

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am a donkey. I won't give you what you want, but I insist on giving it to you if you don't want it. Come here, put this guy down for me, and feed him two sips of water. , Don’t let people think that our Chiyang fleet is all inhumane barbarians..." However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Kang Lin was not angered by Huang Wei’s performance. On the contrary, he even ordered the guards to be friendly. He was lowered from a wooden pole more than ten meters high and allowed to drink a few sips of water.

"Don't, don't, don't think that you can make me surrender with this method..." A large amount of water was poured into the throat that was so thirsty that it would explode. Huang Wei was caught off guard and coughed violently. , at the same time, these liquids also made his almost stagnant thinking slightly clearer. He was about to speak and insist on his position, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Kang Lin's next action. The guy stretched out his hand to stop his desire. The subordinates continued to feed him water and swept the bamboo tube containing water to the ground.

"Okay, okay, I'll let you feed him some water. You guys are really sincere, haven't you seen that they don't accept our kindness at all..." Then, under Kang Lin's order, two strong guards set up a Huang Wei, whose throat was squirming rapidly, lifted him onto the wooden pole again.

"Hang him up and feed him some water every half an hour. Don't let him die of thirst. If no one comes to save him after tonight, kill him to avenge his brothers..."

A quarter of an hour later, the medical tent.

Kang Lin was actually brought back to the medical area by the medical soldiers under Lei Huzi. He was originally prepared to teach Huang Wei a lesson, but the medical soldiers brought him the news that Liu Laoliu's injury had worsened. , but he had to give up this idea, and after saying harsh words, he immediately returned to Liu Laoliu's place, surrounded by his personal maids, where Lei Huzi, the chief medical officer of the fleet, was already extremely busy. He and his two temporary subordinates had even made preparations for a simple operation.

"How's Uncle Liu doing?" Kang Lin asked Lei Huzi bluntly as soon as he entered Liu Laoliu's tent.

"Not very optimistic. Your Excellency, although my subordinates have just cleaned and disinfected Master Liu's wound again, the high fever caused by the suppuration of the wound has made Master Liu fall into a coma again. Your Excellency, in my opinion, Master Liu's condition is There is no room for delay, we must make our trip as soon as possible..." As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Lei Huzi knew that the leader had arrived, but he did not stop what he was doing, he just nodded slightly to greet him, and then, under his order, , all irrelevant people were kicked out of the medical tent, and the door was guarded by Kang Lin's personal entourage.

"Yang Qi, Yang Qi..." Kang Lin reached out and touched Liu Laoliu's forehead. It was indeed very hot. It seemed that what Lei Huzi said was true. Liu Laoliu's condition had indeed reached an emergency, and this... It also made his originally wavering heart quickly firm up, "Inform Gu Wenlai, the three managers Lin Wu and Liu Xiong, and order them to immediately lead the people to arrange the sails and cables in preparation for sailing. In addition, everyone in the camp has canceled their rest and training. Pack your supplies immediately and prepare to take the rowing boat back to the ship..."

"Yes, sir!" Without any hesitation, Yang Qi, who was standing outside the tent, immediately hurried out of the medical area after hearing the words and began to convey the orders of Chief Kanglin Kangda.

"Luo Guang, please pass on my order to have Sentinel Wang Tang immediately lead his men and work with Steward Qiao Siqiao to escort the prisoners of war to the seaside and load them back to the big ship in batches..."

"Yes, leader!"

Note: It is necessary to explain here that before players establish a base in the Age of Exploration, they can redeem sufficient amounts of basic supplies from the system (such as brown rice that has barely been shelled, a certain amount of salt, and items that are not in good condition). Doenjang, coarse cloth clothes that are hard to see that are about to explode, kerosene lamps for lighting, cast iron cold weapons that are easy to wear, farm tools, matchlock guns, etc.), but the cost is usually very high, such as what Kang Lin previously redeemed from the system 20 shields inlaid with iron and wood cost someone 100 units of silver, which was not very cost-effective in comparison! Therefore, before obtaining a stable source of silver, the average lord player will not exchange a large amount of materials through this method! Of course, the exchange of small batches is still barely acceptable. For example, Kang Lin exchanged 50 units of silver for a thousand pounds of salt that was of good quality and taste.

Note 2: Sentinel, an infantry unit under Kang Lin, is between the team and the armor. It can command fifty-four fully armed soldiers, and the chief officer is the sentry officer (the same as the general flag).
