Chapter 33 Spanish Shipwrecked?

"There are broken boat boards in the sea, and it seems that there are still people!" The observation whistle on the mast suddenly shouted loudly, pointing straight to the distance to the right side of the ship... Liang Pengfei heard the cry of the observation whistle, and with his eyebrows closed, he stepped on the height of the bow of the ship in two steps. He took the monocular lens from Lu Yuan's hand, raised his eyes and looked at it. Sure enough, there were a few fragments on the dark and slim sea surface in the distance, and there were figures waving their arms weakly.

"Let's go up and save people!" Liang Pengfei shouted loudly. The sailors immediately turned the rudder and drove the ship towards the direction pointed by the observation post.

After the ship was approaching, Liang Pengfei saw the figure floating on the sea with a broken boat board. He couldn't help but be stunned. There were three Westerners, one of which seemed to be unknown.

"Help!" The familiar Spanish language made Liang Pengfei feel ridiculous. His trip to sea was because of the hostility of the Spanish governor. Now, the person he was about to save was Spanish. It has to be said that the wonders of life encounters are really unpredictable.

"Young master, it's Spanish. Should we save it or not?" At this time, Lu Yuan walked to Liang Pengfei's side. Liang Pengfei smiled and said, "We are now merchant ships, not pirates. They are just victims of the three shipwrecks, so we naturally have to save them."

Lu Yuan nodded, raised his hand and waved his hand. Several agile figures drew a graceful curve like flying fish flying into the sky, and pierced into the blue sea.

--------------------

When all three of them were rescued on the boat, the one who was on the top of the head scratched the door and made Liang Pengfei understand the identity of this guy: a missionary, but now this missionary in his early fifties is being rescued by pirates from the drowning.

One of them was a woman, but she was protected by the only awake middle-aged man behind her. Her eyes were alert to the crowd surrounding her. Seeing these strong sailors with fierceness in their eyes, he deliberately or unintentionally protected the sexy and angry figure who was still lying on the ground and unconsciously, like an adulterer who wanted to protect his mistress.

"Who knows Spanish? French? Or English?" The Spanish football superstar Raul, who looked quite like Liang Pengfei, saw later generations, squeezed out a grateful smile and used three languages ​​to ask Liang Pengfei and others.

"Shusheng Bai, talk to him in Spanish to see if he can get something out." Liang Pengfei reminded Bai Shusheng next to him in Chinese. Although Shusheng Bai didn't understand why the young master told him like this, he still did it.

After asking, I found out that he was a Spanish lieutenant colonel officer named José Garcia Marquez. They were actually a Roman missionary and nun who were traveling a long distance from the Roman Catholic Church to go to Macau. He was ordered to escort them to Macau. Unexpectedly, after encountering a storm, he struggled and wandered on the sea for a day and a night. The nun fainted because of exhaustion, and it was not a big deal.

Without listening to Bai Shusheng's translation, Liang Pengfei, who is proficient in several foreign languages, almost laughed out loud. This guy really regarded himself as a fool. When did the Spanish officer become a bodyguard for the Roman Catholic Church? If he claimed to be a Swiss mercenary, Liang Pengfei might have believed his identity.

Of course, Liang Pengfei's face was not revealed at all. He just listened to Bai Shusheng's translation with a puzzled look and said pretentiously: "We are the maritime merchants of the Qing Dynasty. We are going to Luzon Island to the south to do business. If you want, we can take you all the way."

Scholar Bai translated his Cantonese English to the Spanish officer, and sure enough, the Spanish officer showed joy on his face: "Thank God, this is great, Oriental, I am very grateful for your gentlemanly actions. When I arrive in Luzon, I will definitely ask the Governor of Luzon to pay you a wealthy reward, but now, this nun is too weak and she needs a room to rest."

"I can satisfy your request, monk, let them give up a room." Liang Pengfei turned his head and winked at Monk Chen, lowered his voice and reminded him. Monk Chen nodded understandingly and immediately went to make arrangements.

At this time, the missionary vomited a lot of sea water and finally opened his eyes with difficulty. After Lieutenant Colonel Jose made him realize that everyone around him was Chinese, he spoke Chinese with gratitude in a strange foreign accent. Liang Pengfei couldn't help but become curious. You must know that there are not many foreigners who know Chinese these days.

When Liang Pengfei asked, he found out that a French missionary named Kinnigley came to China. He was a Chinese master. In 1626, he wrote a book called "The Confucian Eyes and Ears of the Western Confucians" accurately recorded the pronunciation of Chinese characters for the first time. During his time in China, he met Han Yun, Wang Zheng and others, and with their help, based on the Western book "The Miracle of the Western Characters" in which missionaries such as Matteo Ricci wrote, he wrote China's first Latinized Pinyin Vocabulary based on the Western book "The Miracle of the Western Characters" in Chinese.

This Spanish missionary named Fernando Alonso learned Chinese through this Latinized Pinyin dictionary circulated in the hands of the missionary, which forced Liang Pengfei to amazed Fernando's language talent.

After Fernando thanked Liang Pengfei and others for their rescue in his strange Chinese, he and Lieutenant Colonel Jose carefully carried the nun whose face was covered with blonde hair into the room prepared for them by Monk Chen.

Liang Pengfei followed by the side with admiration, and tried to lift the blonde hair that covered the nun's face several times to see what the Western girl looked like, but in full view of everyone, I was really embarrassed to start and had to give up in disappointment.

"Young Master, I think there is something wrong." Bai Shusheng looked at the figures of the two who seemed a little respectful to each other and whispered to Liang Pengfei.

"Nonsense, a nun and a monk actually needed a Spanish officer to escort to Macau. This is simply nonsense. The nun and the missionary were both unconscious just now, but the Spanish lieutenant colonel was only nervous about the nun. What does this mean? Either these two people have an affair or there is inside story." Liang Pengfei, who was in a crooked mind, sniffed. "Look at me. From now on, even if they fart, they have to tell me what they mean."

"..." Bai Shusheng rolled his eyes with a black look on his face, nodded helplessly, and greeted two pirates who knew Spanish to come and whispered, and the three of them also walked off the deck.

"Young Master, these three people seem to have some unknown origins. We are going to Crab Island now and take them on the way. Is this appropriate?" Lu Yuan frowned and made a suggestion.

Liang Pengfei smiled and said, "It's okay, this time the Governor of Luzon, Spain, was the governor of Luzon, Spain, so it would be nice to bring them to the island of Crab. At that time, maybe this Spanish lieutenant colonel will be of some use. Before that, just look at them carefully and try to find out what it would be better."

Lu Yuan nodded silently and decided to obey Liang Pengfei's opinion. He also silently saw everything the young master had done over the past few days. He understood that the young master in front was no longer the young man who only knew how to do things recklessly, and he had his own decisions in his heart.

At dinner time, Scholar Bai walked into Liang Pengfei's cabin with a look of discouragement: "Young master, the young people have been eavesdropping for a long time, but the voices of their conversation were too small, so they couldn't find anything useful."

Leaning on the table, comparing the charts that were plundered from the Spanish and British last time. Liang Pengfei, who was making a new chart according to his own memory, raised his head: "What did you hear?"

"The nun seemed to wake up shortly after entering the cabin. The three of them seemed to be discussing something, only hearing something that violated the king's orders, the princess and other things, probably that's all." Bai Shusheng frowned and recalled the message he had heard.
