Brother Xiao Zuo pressed the wrist knife to make sure that he could pull it out at any time.

He was very familiar with this exotic straight-edged sword, but he was not confident enough to take out the old noble guard on the long sword on the opposite side at the first moment of the accident.

The wrist knife is usually used to assassinate or slaughter, and I heard that the soldiers often use it to cut the tendons on the enemy's neck after the battle to get the head, but it is not good at chopping and slashing, and there is no gauntlet, so Xiao Zuo decided that if there is any change in the guard on the opposite side, he will hit it first, as long as the long sword cannot be waved, he can protect his sister and nephew.

The nephew is the key to surviving this disaster for their siblings.

From the names of the left and right, you can find out how casual their parents named them, in fact, they were both accidents, the father is a second-generation Spanish mixed-race veteran, and the mother is a native slave of Lima, the two of them have never held a wedding in the church from beginning to end, they first have a sister on the right, and then a brother on the left on the left, because of the father's perennial army to recruit to quell the rebellion, he did not take good care of the family, the big left died early, and then there was a small left.

Although no one can say whether their mother is a wife or a slave to the father's drunkard, the sister and brother live well on the alcoholic for a dozen thoughts in life, starving and feasting for a year, much better than most mixed-race children born in Peru.

At that time, they were hungry or hungry, depending on the year in which the kingdom of Spain was in a good mood and paid the army.

As a result of the Dutch rebellion, the kings were in a bad mood for three years, and even their fathers were not in a good mood, and once they were drunk and beat their mother to death.

Later, my father served normally until the first war in the Ming and Western regions started on the Cangming Sect, at that time Peru did not care that it was called the Cangming Sect, because of Magellan's name, everyone called that sea the Pacific Ocean.

On the eve of the expedition, he got drunk again, but made an exception and did not beat them when they were drunk, but said that they had found a new land, and that he could do what Pizarro could do, and that he would buy them a large estate and plantation when he returned, and that if he went to the New World to be governors, he would not have to worry about them starving to death—before he could move his life, the drunkard thought about it, and said, "If you starve to death, I don't have to worry about it."

No one took these wishes seriously, and a drunkard would have forgotten all that he had said the night before, and he would have forgotten it the next or third day, and he had said nothing when he boarded the ship, like the twenty thousand soldiers who had sent a dozen fleets to cross the seas to the west.

That time, the destination of the Spanish galleon was Guam, but the name of that place seemed to change in the minds of later people, and people called it the Battle of Linlai Island, anyway, in the end, Brother Zuo waited on the shore for three months before he finally determined that the survivor was not the old bastard.

Later, the life of the sister and brother on the beach was far worse than in the past, and the little brother Zuo, who had no other way, couldn't get along on the street, and was helpless, and the Spaniards didn't accept him, the Incas didn't accept him, and the mixed-race people who never held together couldn't accept it.

The status of the sailors is low, the class on the ship is clear, and they are the most depressed and angry, Xiao Zuo originally thought that he would be like this in his life, and he didn't know when he would die in the belly of the fish, and the sisters and brothers finally ushered in their own luck.

It was not long after the Second War of the Ming and Western Dynasties, when the situation between the Ming army and the Bernal army that landed in Mexico was not yet clear, a foreign merchant ship with a hard sail was washed ashore by the waves, the stern rudder was broken by a cannonball, and the sailors fled to death, only my sister found the ship at night.

Later, my sister said that the boat ran aground on the beach next to their house, and she ran aboard the boat and was stunned by what she saw inside the cabin - the whole ship was made of beautiful red, the walls of the cabin were covered with beautiful portraits hanging down, and the boxy lattice on the roof of the cabin hung all kinds of wood and paper lamps, some of which were on top of it, some of which fell to the ground but did not extinguish themselves and could not cause a fire.

On the sloping deck of the cabin were bottles and jars made of white gems that she had never seen before, as well as fragments from their collision, and the fragments were painted with colorful lines to paint portraits of people, animals, and landscapes, which she had never seen before.

Of course, my sister later recalled that there should have been corpses in the cabin dressed in rich costumes, and falling shells and weapons, but she could not bring herself to the sights that were not beautiful, and at the end of the cabin there was a foreign man still alive, his hair was combed in a high bun, covered with a delicate black net, his forehead was bleeding from the corner of the table, his chin was covered with a delicately trimmed beard, he was wearing a short robe that she had never seen before, and he was pointing a clever crossbow at herself. In the other hand, he held a short knife without a gauntlet to protect the chest behind him.

On the white shards of precious stones, the open scarlet, white, and blue satin of the wooden box covered the deck and wrapped around the man, who spoke in jerky Spanish, saying that his name was Ren Ping.

After that, Derita tried to recall many times, Ren Ping always said that he had said a lot at that time, threatened her, bribed her, but she didn't remember, he said that he was from Huizhou in the Ming Empire, but she thought he should be a god.

Only a god would ride on such a magnificent ship and wear such delicate fabrics.

So she firmly believes that it is her duty to help the gods in distress.

What happened later was like a reincarnation, in the confrontation of the Battle of Turtle Island, Brother Xiaozuo's fleet was far away from the terrifying Ming fleet for half a month, the captain of the fleet ordered to return, most of them returned to Lima safe and sound, he also looked at the Nantang ship from a distance, thinking that if he continued to stay in the army, he would sooner or later throw his life at sea and apply for discharge, and went back to find that there were more people at home.

Enemy.

Like their mother, Little Zuo couldn't tell whether his sister was a wife or a servant to an enemy who had her hair down and pretended to be an Incas.

In fact, it didn't matter to the siblings, the important thing was that he rarely drank, and even when he was drunk, he didn't hit anyone, but only rhythmically said something at night in a language that no one understood, went to the beach where no one was around, lit a fire and sang and danced, or sat on the cliff facing the waves, blowing a wooden stick with holes, and raised a cup to toast to the moon.

But more often than not, Ren Ping would do useful things, teach his sister to weave, and make a machine out of wood that could make one person spin and weave faster than ten people; Teach my brother arithmetic and trading skills, as well as how to deal with relationships.

Later, the Second War of the Ming and Western Empires ended with the signing of a peace treaty in Mexico between Marshal Chen Mu of the Ming Empire and Duke Alva of the Kingdom of Spain...... For them, it is not worth caring who wins and loses this war.

Peace is far more important than winning or losing.

The elder sister was pregnant with Xiao Yu'er, and the younger brother escorted Ren Ping to Changsheng and followed him to Luzon.

Ren Ping did not come back, he docked in Luzon and filled the ship with goods and handed it to Xiao Zuo, saying that he would take another boat to continue the trade route to India to the west, and asked him to take care of Xiao Yu'er and his sister.

In this way, the two half-breeds had a dream about a god from the West, and their lives changed dramatically, and they had their own shop in the center of Lima City, and they became ordinary people in the city, living a life that they could not have imagined before.

In fact, there is a record of this incident in the Toyo Military Office, which is about the baggage ships of the Eastern Army that year, and there is only one sentence.

'The sea was hit by the wind, and the four hundred people of Quanzhou were drifted away, and the sixteen people in Huizhou were nowhere to be found. ’
