Chapter 45 Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio: Complete Modernization No. 4: Red Felt

The beach suddenly became lively, and all the people, especially the children, rushed to the beach, shouting loudly: "Look at the big ship of the Red-haired Kingdom!"The big red-haired state-owned ship is coming! There were also quite a few girls running towards the beach, but nine out of ten they couldn't get far, so they called their parents, brothers, sisters, sisters-in-law, and aunts, and dragged them back. Some were beaten, and most were scolded: the red-haired boat also watched Got it?The boat is full of red-haired people with red eyebrows and green eyes. If you tell them to look at them with green eyes, they will not be able to reincarnate after death!There are sorcerers!

The girl pouted, and the boss was dragged back unwillingly, and went back to his own room, imagining what the man with red eyebrows and green eyes looked like and where he came from. Across the ocean, red-haired people also have their home? Of course, there are many girls who can go to the beach. Needless to say, they are all wild girls who will definitely become bad women when they grow up. Happier than other girls. A few flat boulders on the seashore have long been occupied by some young and strong boys.There are not no gaps on the boulder, and a few people can stand there.Women all know that standing on a big rock can see more clearly and see farther, but no one climbs up the rock anymore.

The young man on the rock yelled loudly, calling the name of his sweetheart, and one by one, the blushing, shy and excited girls climbed onto the boulder with a strong pull of their strong arms. Two of them stood very close, unscrupulous, and some were far apart, stroking their clothes with their heads down, never looking at the huge ship appearing on the sea in the distance, but hovering over their lover. In the distance, you can see the big ship of the Red Hair Country! They are all the same size, height, sail, and speed; many of the people who gather by the sea have lived on boats all their lives, but they have never seen such a boat.

The ship came from the Red-haired country. Everyone knows that a few months earlier, the government issued a notice saying that the Red-haired country had a ship coming, and the government allowed the people to do business with the red-haired people.However, no one knows where the Red Hair Country is.For everyone, the Red Hair Country is an unfathomable foreign land, a strangeness that they have never had in their lives. The boat was gradually approaching, the wind was smooth, the huge, strangely shaped sails were full of wind, and they were in a daze. There were people on both sides of the cabin, and they were far away. Of course, it was hard to see whether those people had red hair or not.

The sound of shouting came from behind the crowd, and the yamen servants with water and fire sticks drove the crowd to disperse like a flock of ducks, so that the official sedan chair could pass by. Eight sedan chairmen carried the majestic sedan chair, and the sedan chair poles were carried up and down without rushing. Swaying slowly, I guessed that sitting in the sedan chair must be very comfortable. The dispersed crowd quickly closed again, and the official sedan chair was carried to a flat beach by the sea and stopped. The curtain of the sedan chair was half lifted, and an official could be seen sitting in the sedan chair. Anyone, surrounded by dozens of soldiers with swords out of their sheaths and bows drawn up, and amidst the shouts of dozens of yamen servants, becomes majestic even if he is not airy.

The bow of the giant ship splashed white waves, and suddenly, an order came from the ship, the huge iron anchor was dropped, the strange-shaped sail fell, and the big ship stopped not far from the shore.From the big ship, like a trick, many small boats were lowered, and many people, along the ropes of the hull, came down.Calculating carefully, there are eight people in each small boat, and there are more than one hundred small boats. Thousands of oars are fired at the same time, and they row towards the shore together. It looks extremely spectacular. The official in the sedan chair stepped out of the sedan chair, waving his hands in panic, "No going ashore!"Too many people, not allowed to go ashore!

The first boat landed on the beach, and the tall officer and interpreter landed. All the onlookers held their breath, and everyone trembled in their hearts: what a red hair!There really are red-haired monsters in the world, with red eyebrows and green eyes!There are such people! The girl's palms were sweating, she wanted to look but didn't dare to look, the young man beside the girl bravely puffed up his chest, and his heart couldn't help but feel hairy, muttering how could there be such a face. The officer is still shouting: There are too many people, you can't go ashore!

The interpreter and the red-haired officer were chattering, but the other boats were obedient and landed on the beach, and no one stepped out of the boat.The interpreter came to the officials with a respectful expression: Since the two countries are in business, they should be allowed to go ashore! The official pointed to the densely packed boats: so many people, how much space must be occupied, no! The red-haired officer said a few words loudly, the official rolled his eyes, and the interpreter bowed: Please give me a place to rug! The official snorted: What do you mean? The interpreter lowered his head: the three felts are spread out, as big as they are, and the place for the felts, please give me the land, and I will never leave the felts for half a step!

The official stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and nodded vigorously.The red-haired officer raised his arms and shouted, two red-haired national soldiers carried a piece of felt ashore, and tore it apart, in half and in half, and each time it was torn, it doubled in size. At first, it could only accommodate eight people standing on it. Sixteen people, talk about it, thirty-two people, the beach was quickly covered with felt, officials, soldiers and yamen servants began to retreat, everyone was tongue-tied, even though the officials and people of Shangguo had a bad taste in their hearts, they couldn't say it was worth it!

The felt spread in Hongmao Country is getting bigger and bigger, and it is still only a piece of felt land, stretching all the way to the entrance of the village, not to mention that more than a thousand people can gallop to chase it, and it is more than enough to build a city and a house. A place of felt: the felt of the red hair country!
