Chapter 450: Pirates Infested
Yunying was going to go up to serve, but when she saw her husband's embarrassing appearance, she resolutely hid in the cabin and could not come out.

The boatmen who used to travel around the island with the boat didn't know what to say.Just now, I have already talked about the weirdness of the island with my relatives and friends at home, which inevitably caused some panic.

Now I heard that the eldest sister next to my wife is pregnant, the men are not doing well, but the women are joyful.After all, children are the heart and soul of a mother, and they will be relied on for a lifetime.It is every woman's wish to have a child.

Ding Wei came here to be happy for Yunying, and secondly, she wanted to take advantage of this incident to wash away the atmosphere of panic, so she said, "There is a happy event at home, and it is time to celebrate. Tomorrow, I will send people to hunt some wild animals and come back to add vegetables. People will reward you with five qian. If you don’t want the silver, you can exchange it for something to eat.”

Danggui and the others immediately spread the news, and the entire camp was filled with cheers.

Although everyone knew that Madam treats the people around her very well, especially the elder sisters, they never expected that such kindness would be granted.

Almost all the people who followed this time were young couples.Not only can I have a good meal, but I can get another tael of silver for an extra place, which is more than a month's wages for working.

People just live in a breath of energy, have money, hear happy events, and don't know where they will be squeezed out of the little panic just now.

After all, with such a wealthy and kind-hearted master, they will definitely have a good life in the future, so they are naturally at ease.

What kind of small island, what kind of human bones, there are masters who bother, they just do their jobs.

It was late at night, and the bonfires were lit in the camp, and there were loud snores from the tents of each family.Occasionally, a child cried at night, and was quickly held by his mother in his arms, and his mouth was blocked with the "granary".

The waves beat on the big boat, on the beach, and on the reef, curiously looking at the rarely lively seaside.

When the sun jumped out of the sea again, the blue of the sea was illuminated into golden red.Chu Lao San was so impatient that he almost didn't sleep well all night. He got up early to greet Ding Wei, and after saying hello, he led a group of people onto the boat and rushed to the small island.

Ding Wei was not idle either. After eating, she asked Yunying to help keep an eye on the two children and everyone in the camp. Then she took Danggui Lianqiao and twenty loyal veterans to the cliff chosen yesterday.

Sure enough, as Chu Laosan said, this cliff is an excellent place to live.The cliff is almost as if someone cut it straight up and down with an axe, and the cliff is extremely smooth.Not to mention that people want to stand on it, even if flies land on it, they will scatter their feet.

Moreover, the cliff still vaguely formed a semicircular protective cover. A two-foot-wide ditch was dug under the cliff to draw the stream on one side, which was the barrier of the sky and the moat. At least there was no need to worry about someone sneaking from behind.

In addition, the gentle slope in front of the cliff is very good, which is convenient for drainage in the rainy season.The plain grassland under the gentle slope covers hundreds of acres, and it is barely enough to grow vegetables and food.Then build a few pig houses and chicken houses, and it will be a self-sufficient small farm.

Danggui and Forsythia were very happy to watch, chatting non-stop.

"Oh, it's good here. Master, let's build a yard quickly 1"

"Yes, master. At that time, we have to send a letter to Quanzhou to send some piglets, chickens and ducks over. In half a year, this place will be the same as Dingjiazhuangzi."

The maids of Danggui were orphans since they were young. After growing up in the dark camp, they were transferred to serve Ding Wei.Before Ding's family was wiped out, Ding Wei always took them with her when she returned to her mother's house.Lu Shi's kindness, old man Ding's stubbornness and reticence, and the hospitality and gentleness of the Ding family's brothers and sisters all made them regard the Ding family as their own mother's family.Dingjiazhuangzi has also become synonymous with family.

So, this time I will talk about building a new home.The girls are holding back their energy and want to build another Dingjiazhuang that is exactly the same.

It's not that Ding Wei doesn't miss her parents, or those reunion days.But now living outside, safety comes first, there are many things to consider, and you can't do it willfully.

For example, the courtyard of Dingjiazhuangzi is very grand and spacious, but it is not applicable here.Not to mention the inconvenient drainage during the rainy season, even if there is an invasion from outside, it is not easy to defend.

I remember that once in my previous life, I went to the south for fun, and there was a stone castle in a small county town that left a deep impression on her.

It was a round castle surrounded by high-rise stone buildings. There was no exit on the first floor, and only doors and windows were on the inside. Small windows were opened above the second floor, and clothes and food were dried on platforms above the third floor.

There is an open space in the middle of the round castle, where flowers and vegetables can be planted, and tables and chairs can be placed for everyone to gather and talk.

The tour guide who led the team at the time also said that this is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, moisture-proof and theft-proof, the structure is the most reasonable, and it is suitable for places with many winds and rains.

Undoubtedly, Ding Wei now has to follow the principle of borrowing and learn from the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients.

She didn't say much, and went back to the camp, and after lunch, she carefully drew the planning map with a pen and paper.

The girls are the most familiar, and every time the master writes, he must have a serious business.First there are the arrangements for the placement of wounded soldiers, good strategies for disaster relief, and then there are charts, and now it is related to the place where everyone will live and work in the future.

Therefore, they stopped in front of the tent, not even allowing Chu Lao San, who had hurried back from the voyage, to enter.

Until Ding Wei put down her pen, she felt that the quiet outside was a little weird, so she asked loudly, "Who is outside?"

Dang Gui hurriedly responded, "Master, are you done with your work? General Chu is back!"

"Then invite General Chu to come in, I happen to have something to say."

Dang Gui lifted the curtain of the tent and hung it directly on one side. The golden sunlight shone into the tent, causing Ding Weiwei to squint her eyes.

Chu Lao San came in and saluted respectfully. Seeing Ding Wei's appearance at the end, he thought she had guessed the result of the investigation, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly reported, "Ma'am, it's just as you guessed. It's strange that his bones are dead."

Ding Wei took the bird's nest from Dang Guidi, took a small sip, and then motioned to Chu Laosan to drink tea to moisten his throat before asking, "Is it a cannibal or a pirate?"

"Cannibals?" Chu Lao San couldn't understand, but Ding Wei nodded and explained, "It's just that some native tribes are used to catching people from hostile tribes, killing them and eating them, so they are called cannibals."

Chu Laosan secretly thought that this madam knows a lot. How did a woman who stays at home hear such strange things?
However, he didn't dare to ask this question, so he hurriedly replied, "Ma'am, my subordinates looked at the traces of cutting with sharp weapons on the human bones. The natives who came to worship before were still using bows and arrows and wooden spears, and had no knives or guns. "

"Then most likely they are pirates, but I don't know where the old nests of these islands are, and how often they will come here. If we find us staying here in the future and start to loot, I'm afraid there will be a conflict. "

"Madam, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely arrange manpower to patrol and defend, so that no one will hurt Madam and the little master."

Chu Lao San swore that although Mr. Chu took away most of the manpower, there are now more than 300 veterans and children of the Chu family who are on the island, and all of them are good fighters who have fought.Not to mention the hired strong laborers, who can almost turn into a reserve team with a long knife.

"Since old general Chu asked the third general to take people with me to the sea, he must have believed in the third general's ability. How can I be worried? It's just that these people came with the fleet, so I can't let them die. .Please take care of the three generals to protect them!"

Ding Wei talked and laughed, and there was no perfunctory or hypocrisy in her expression. She really took the safety of hundreds of people outside the tent into her heart.

Chu's third son was nothing but admiration in his heart. No wonder the general would be concerned. Such a woman is really good and couldn't be better.

"Your subordinate obeys the order, Madam, if you have something to do, just tell me."

Ding Wei nodded, and called Dang Gui, "Go and invite Master Li and Master Wang over, and ask them to discuss something."

Master Li is a family stonemason, and he is very capable when it comes to stone tools.Master Wang is an old carpenter, and he has also been a good crafter for many years.

The two were originally in-laws, children and in-laws.Once when the son and daughter went to the city, a dude fell in love with his daughter-in-law, and the angry son injured the dude in the pull.Needless to say, in order to save their son from being imprisoned, the two families almost exhausted all their efforts to save him.

In the end, the son came back, but the savings of the two families were also emptied.The rest of the children were arguing about separating the family, and the family was fighting wildly.

It happened that the sea fleet hired craftsmen, and after the two old men discussed it, they brought the disappointing young couple along with them.

Hearing that Danggui came to deliver a message, the two put down their work and hurried to the tent.

The two wanted to kneel and kowtow, but Ding Wei stopped them. After all, they were all gray-haired old people, and they were the same age as their father, how could they be bowed down by them?
Ding Wei asked Lian Qiao to move a chair for the two elders to sit on, and asked about some trivial matters such as food and food.Finally, he took out the drawings and said with a smile, "Two masters, I drew a stone castle earlier, which inevitably used stones and wood. Please come here just to have a look. This stone castle may be built. If there is If there is something inappropriate, both of you feel free to speak up. After all, this is where everyone will live in the future, so don’t be careless.”

Hearing these words, the two old men, who were still a little apprehensive just now, immediately straightened their backs, took the blueprints and began to ponder them seriously.

Occasionally, some technical issues were involved, and the two would quarrel.In the end, after discussing everything properly, I realized that this is the big tent of the owner's family.

The two old men got up quickly and wanted to make amends, but Ding Wei smiled and said, "It seems that the two masters are satisfied with this stone castle?"

"Of course, of course. This stone castle painted by Madam is simply the strongest and most practical house the old man has ever seen!"

Master Li opened his mouth to praise, and Master Wang also nodded fiercely.

The way the two of them looked at each other made Chu Laosan and Danggui all curious, but they had different expressions when they came closer to look at it.

Chu Lao San planned it purely from a defensive point of view, and he was full of praise.There is only one exit for this stone fortress, it is like a single man guarding the gate, no one can open it, and the roof is also an excellent place to look out and explore.
