Jia Min's Counterattack

"Daddy! Let's take Lang'er to see the cannon, okay! Okay!" Lin Lang pulled Lin Ruhai's sleeve and walked out.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min looked at each other with a smile, and said, "Min'er, do you want to take a look? It's under the cabin, it's dark and humid there!"

"Let's go and have a look together, I'm also very curious about that cannon!" Jia Min smiled and followed Lin Ruhai and his son out of the hatch.

The three arrived on the deck first, and then the old shadow lifted a three-foot-square plank, revealing a downward wooden staircase.Old Shadow carried Lin Lang down first, and Lin Ruhai helped Jia Min to follow.The bottom of the cabin was indeed damp, and there was even some sea water pouring in from the portholes on the floor.A cannon was installed under the portholes on both sides. Lin Ruhai walked over and opened the tarpaulin covering it, revealing the cannon body.The gun body is about eight or nine feet long, and there is a hand-operated mechanism below it, which can adjust the height of the gun body, so that it can hit the enemy's ship more accurately.In a large wooden box, some shells the size of a baby's head were also wrapped in oilcloth.

Lin Lang curiously looked back and forth around the cannon, touched here and there, and kept asking old shadows questions, and old shadows answered him one by one very patiently.

"It's unexpected that such a small cannonball can be so powerful!" Jia Min was amazed at the weapons she saw.

"These are simple cannons specially made for sea navigation. There is also a cannon on our island that is ten times larger than this one. With that big guy around, the enemy's ships can't get close to Lin's Island at all." Lin Ruhai followed Beside Jia Min, explaining for Jia Min.

"It's so powerful! That's really a one-man-on-one-off and ten-thousand-one-off!"

"When the time comes, I'll take Min'er to have a look, and Min'er will know how powerful it is!"

"Wouldn't it take a lot of refined iron to make these cannons and shells?"

"That's right! But fortunately, there is a large island to the east of us that is rich in fine iron ore. We bought two there, which can fully supply us!"

"I heard my husband talk about Lin Family Island along the way, which made me yearn for Lin Family Island even more. I was thinking, what should I do if I don't want to leave when I get there?"

"If Min'er is willing, we can retire there in the future! Have you seen Uncle Yingying and the others? They have stayed in Linjiadao for so many years, not only have they not aged, but their bodies have become healthier. They all have years of hidden wounds on their bodies. Yes, but after staying on the island for a few years, the dark wounds gradually improved. Those dark guards from my grandfather’s time were all in their [-]s and [-]s, and they were still in the same state as when they were in their prime. Most of the dark guards on the island can survive Over [-] years old. Today, the oldest Tai Fifty Lord is [-] years old this year, he is the only remaining dark guard from the time of great-grandfather, and now he is responsible for teaching the orphans I am looking for for Lang'er." Lin Ruhai's words made Jia Min was even more shocked.

"Could it be that this Lin Family Island is a blessed land of immortals?" Jia Min exclaimed.

Hearing Jia Min's words, Old Shadow smiled and said, "It's not what the mistress thought! The aborigines who worked with us on other islands didn't live as long as ours. Most of them died when they were around 40 years old." .”

"That's weird. Isn't that our secret?" Jia Min asked with a frown.

"There really is a secret! Our people are used to drinking tea, so we brought tea seeds from Daming to the island and planted them on a high mountain. Only after the change did I know that drinking those teas can prolong my life!"

"Then why doesn't your husband ask someone to send us some tea produced on the island every year?"

"It's useless! It's strange to say that the only way to prolong life is to use the spring water from the mountain over there to make those teas. Tea and water are indispensable." Lin Ruhai explained.

"That's really miraculous! Perhaps this is also God's compensation for those hidden guards who have sacrificed a lot for the Lin family!"

"Mother's words are serious! Although the subordinates worked hard in the first half of their lives, the master found such a good place for the subordinates to retire. We are members of the Lin family, and it is the duty of the subordinates to do things for the Lin family. The compensation is also right, so that the subordinates can live longer and can do more things for the Lin family."

Jia Min saw that there was no trace of hypocrisy when Lao Yingying said these words, and he admired the Lin family ancestor's imperial skills even more! "Uncle Shadow, no matter what, you are all heroes of the Lin family. Without you who have been so loyal to guarding the Lin family island and supporting the Lin family, we would not have such confidence. As the mistress of this generation of the Lin family, I still want to thank you for your loyalty to the Lin family!"

Old Shadow didn't say anything more, just smiled and said to Lin Ruhai: "Master has such a good vision!"

Lin Ruhai also nodded with a smile, "I think so too!"

Jia Min blushed from Lin Ruhai's words, glared at him coquettishly, then turned around and grabbed the stairs to board the deck.

Four or five days later, Jia Min and his boat were about to arrive at Linjiadao.In the afternoon of this day, Jia Min was packing the luggage of the family of three when he heard Lin Lang yelling loudly outside: "Mother! Mother! Come out and have a look! Lang'er saw Lin Family Island!"

Jia Min put down the things in his hands, got up and left the cabin, and stood beside Lin Ruhai and his father and son.Looking along Lin Lang's little hand, Jia Min saw the place that she yearned for very much.She saw a patch of undulating green between the sea and the sky. As the boat approached, she saw a snow-like beach. The afternoon sun shone on the beach, shining a little bit of light, which was impressive from a distance. There is a feeling of being in a fairyland by mistake.Behind the beach is a dense forest, and some houses can be seen faintly in the forest.

When the boat reaches the end of the white beach, there is a cliff about [-] feet high. Below the cliff is a brown reef, which flickers with the waves.Their boat sailed into a canyon, with towering cliffs on both sides, and some seabirds could still see nests on the cliffs.

"Does Min'er know what's on it?" Lin Ruhai asked.

"It's the nest of seabirds!"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "That's what Min'er eats every day!"

"That's bird's nest? So it's like this! Is the bird's nest I ate sent from our island?"

"No, the blood swallow that Min'er usually eats is not here, it was bought from Malaysia by the Lin family's merchant ship!"

When the boat reached the end of the canyon, it suddenly became clear that this was a small bay, and the pier of Linjiadao was built in this bay.The pier was built next to the mountain, and a long wooden plank road led to the top of the mountain. Three large ships and several small boats were already docked on the pier, and a dozen people in white clothes were standing on the pier and waving to them.
