Chen Xiangmei immediately covered up her little embarrassment and said: "The development of the Centipede Mountains not only touched the old lady Shang on the other side of the mountain, but also aroused the covetousness of this group of pirates. They gathered around like sharks smelling blood and attacked the mine.
They launched a surprise attack and then looted all the ore treasures."
This conjecture is quite reasonable, so everyone nodded in agreement.
Chen Xiangmei secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had finally passed the test.
In an emergency, everyone present will naturally not pay special attention to a girl's fleeting embarrassment.
Zuo Yintang continued: "We need to be fully prepared now. We must not forget to defend when we attack. We should send people to the mines in the Centipede Mountains to stock up on some food, fresh water, weapons and ammunition. We don't know if this group of pirates are the same people opposite us.
How many pirates are there in their base? Double or twice as many as now, or ten or eight times as many as now."
Zuo Yintang saw with his own eyes the clumsy supply ship of the pirate fleet. Although this ship was fat, it just proved that these pirates' base had sufficient reserves, so they needed ships with large loads to come over for supplies. So, this group of pirates
Their strength and numbers cannot be underestimated.
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, the mines in the Centipede Mountains do need to be defended. This way we will be more flexible between the mines and the work sheds."
Chen Xiangmei said: "What if the work shed is lost and we are blocked in the mine?"
This is indeed a problem.
Zuo Yintang pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Captain Chen, don't forget, we are a mining team. Finding the pulse and stealing the cave is our specialty. Before the pirates blocked us in the mine, we
A retreat path has been dug. And there is more than one."
Chen Xiangmei's face turned red again. Yes, she was a mining team member. Why did she always ask such childish questions?
Chen Xiangmei had no choice but to interrupt again and said: "I suggest that while strengthening the defense of the work sheds and mines, we should clean up the corpses of pirates on the beach at night. Many of the weapons on them are exactly what we need, and maybe they can still be used on the beach."
What valuable information was found on these corpses?"
Zuo Yintang said: "What Captain Chen said is absolutely true, and the bodies of our miners should also be disposed of and buried."
Zuo Yintang immediately assigned manpower to go to the Centipede Mountain Mine to make preparations.
The night was dark, and the wind was blowing with snow. The heavy snow swept across the mountains and fields violently, shaking the stems, breaking open the doors and windows of the work shed, tearing off the thatch on the house in large handfuls and throwing it into the air, and scattered the cold snowflakes into the sky.
The wind and snow came inside the house, roaring with strange sounds, as if everything in the world were its docile slaves, and it could ravage and destroy them at will, no matter they were miners or pirates.
Such a windy and snowy night was just perfect for covering their movements. One team of miners found the mine, and another team went to the beach to snatch the corpses and search for weapons on the pirates. Soon, the miners who went out collected a large number of weapons and ammunition.
The defenses here are intensively deployed, and the pirate fleet has been silent.
Even so, Zuo Yintang didn't dare to let down his guard at all. He picked up his binoculars all the time and watched every move of the fleet on the opposite side, thinking about the pirates' next move, how he would arrange his defenses, and how he would find ways to drive away these desperadoes.
Return to the old nest.
In stark contrast to Zuo Yintang and the miners who were busy and never let down their guard at all times, Taoist priests Zhan Zhanzhi and Lu Qingqiu turned a blind eye to the tense air on both sides of the coastline. They used their swords when they had nothing to do, flew with them, listened to the sea and watched the tide, and followed the waves.
Waves. Sometimes Zuo Yintang holds a telescope and moves slightly to this side, and there is a pair of Taoist priests wielding swords. The sea breeze touches their faces and touches their hearts. The white waves touch the sky, roll up, and pile up thousands of layers of snow. The beach
One side is covered with ice and snow, and apart from being slightly white, fat and bloated, not much has changed. The sun is still very warm, and the seals rolling on the snow beach still look so lazy. The flowing sea in the distance is still rolling with blue waves. Zuo Yintang is also taking a break from the busy work.
, intoxicated in a state of forgetfulness of things and myself. A soaring wave rolled over the camera, and all the worldly thoughts and worries in my mind were instantly washed away without a trace.
However, Zuo Yintang's leisure was only for a moment. Very quickly, the telescope moved to this side. With just a slight movement, the opposite side was actually hundreds of meters away. On this side, there was a confrontation between life and death.
.Zuo Yintang couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, most people are living a trivial and busy, plain and ordinary life. It can relax the mood and give life the freedom of wind-like ease and comfort. In the slow-flowing life, you can see the splendor of the life.
The branches are full of spring, and I feel countless joys. In the days when things are not going as planned, or even between life and death, how many people can see the full moon in the heart of the sky and feel that time is not passing away? How many people can do this?
For Zuo Yintang, he abides by a completely different kind of life creed. People cannot passively endure mediocrity and suffering, but must achieve extraordinary things in the ordinary and difficult times. To endure heavy pressure and create extraordinary things also requires tenacity and patience.
Having too many thoughts is just like taking a bath for a long time, which makes you feel exhausted and tired. Therefore, you must be calm and calm, and strive for self-improvement, even if the journey is long. For an explorer like Zuo Yintang, every successful flower
They are all cultivated by a lot of rain, blood, and mud, and in an environment under storms and scorching sun. Only by hard work of one's muscles and bones and hard work of one's mind can one be able to swim like a fish in water, and the flowers on the other side will bloom.
That's it, even in a small arena at the end of the world, you can see the quality and character of each person. The confrontation continues. The mining team never relaxes its vigilance for a moment. The more silent the pirate fleet on the opposite side is, the more the defense needs to be strengthened.
.
That evening, the coastline was pitch black. The telescope was useless, so Zuo Yintang took the time to rest and replenish his strength.
Suddenly, someone pushed him awake.
Zuo Yintang jumped up, thinking something was in danger, but found out it was Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao thrust the telescope into his hand.
Zuo Yintang was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had been too nervous these days and overslept. It was already daytime, so Qin Xiao handed him the telescope. When he looked up, he found that the moon and stars were sparse and the night was as dark as ink. Zuo Yintang was a little confused.
He was startled, but Qin Xiao's expression was serious, not like he was joking.
Qin Xiao turned around and walked to the lookout entrance, staring calmly at the opposite coastline.
Zuo Yintang followed in stride and raised his telescope at the lookout.
For a moment, I was stunned.
The night was dark, and the beach was completely covered in the vast ink. At a glance, the pirate fleet lit up countless dazzling and colorful lights, like a layer of colored glass bells, as crystal clear as if they had been infiltrated with water mist.
It was clear, and little lights hung in the air, flickering on and off, like will-o'-the-wisps. The bright lights merged into a phantom city made of pearls, floating in the vast ocean. The sky was completely dark.
, the entire pirate fleet is like a pirate city, shrouded in a halo like cicada wings, like golden gauze, like an aurora, and like a mysterious netherworld.
On the side of the pirate ship, figures swayed, and the sound of tap dance music and saxophones could be heard faintly. The pirates were having a carnival, cha cha dance, face dance, mask dance, it was like a hodgepodge of dances and singing. It was so noisy.
In this world, there is feasting and feasting, pirates laugh wildly, under the gorgeous lights, everyone wears a mask, in the red wine, in front of the lamp shadow, unbridled and carnival.
