Surrounded by jade belts, mountains and waves. Seven long-boats with galleys sailed slowly against the torrent of late summer to the beach several miles away.

The head of a long ship, erected two masts front and rear. On the top of the foremast, the flag of the sun hummingbird hangs, and on the top of the mizzen, the feathers of the quetzal are attached. The mountain wind blows, and the bright feathers sway in the wind, like birds circling in the sky.

Beneath the birds, a group of crew members were huddled together, staring somewhere on the deck. There, a young boy with a naked upper body and unkempt hair was lying there. He closed his eyes tightly, his left cheek was bruised, and a puddle of water was spit out from his mouth, looking embarrassed.

"...Lao Pu, were the slaps you slapped too hard just now?"

Chiwako squatted on the deck, looking at the young man with a bruised nose and a swollen face who had just been fished out of the river, he felt a pain in the left side of his face.

"Huh? If you don't hit harder, how do you hit the water monster out of his stomach?"

Puapu stretched out his hand, looked at his red palm, and rubbed it painfully.

"This is the three gods...cough, the old priest taught me the method. First hit the stomach hard, then hit the face hard, as long as you can hit the water, people will be saved!"

"..."

Chiwaco was speechless for a while. He looked at the boy's messy hair and naked upper body, but found nothing that marked his identity.

"Where did this kid come from?"

"It must be the captives of Tlaxcala who went south! They fell into the water, were stunned, and floated for a while before they met us. It probably won't be too long, maybe it's the group of ships that just passed by. ."

Puap narrowed his eyes and thought about it. Then, he pouted, glared at the mountain bird Cavado, and scolded.

"The battle upstream was so fierce that many people drowned. The prisoners in Tlaxcala are worthless, so it's worth the time to save them? The fleet itself is in a hurry!"

"Cough, cough. Old Pu, this easy thing won't be delayed for long. Isn't the boat going all the time! Cavado is also kind, saving someone, and the Lord God blesses him!"

The old militiaman Chiwako smiled and patted Old Pu on the shoulder. Cavado diving to save people, in the final analysis, is also his permission.

"...It doesn't cost much, why watch people drown..."

Chiwako muttered, and checked the boy's body again. He first looked at the palm of the other's hand, only to see the newly ground cocoon marks, and frowned. Then, he looked at the other's teeth again, there was no obvious wear, and it was even a little white.

"..."

Seeing this, Chiwako and Puap looked at each other, and both gave birth to a few thoughts. The old militiaman immediately waved his hand and shouted to the gathered crew members.

"Go, go, what are you doing here? You'll be docked later, so hurry up and prepare!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Soon, the crew was ordered to disperse, busy all over the longship. Chiwako raised his brows and squatted down. This time, he checked carefully, inch by inch.

"Huh? Got a tattoo?"

"Is this, a snake?"

Puapu widened his eyes and looked at the underarm on the inside of the boy's left arm, where there was a small black snake, hidden under the black armpit hair, which was very inconspicuous.

"Old man Qi, I seem to remember the Tlaxcala nobles, who like to call themselves Snakeborn?"

"...How do I know these things."

The two looked at each other, their eyes a little subtle.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

At this moment, the teenager on the deck coughed in pain. He opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw two huge faces, looking at them with bright eyes.

The young man was stunned, and Tong Kong gradually gathered, and finally saw that the costumes of the two were dark green battle clothes.

"Ah!...No, don't kill me! No!..."

The shrill shouts made the old militiaman dizzy. Puapu's eyes were sharp, and his hand was a slap.

"Snapped!..."

"Ah, no!..."

"Snapped!..."

After a while, it was quiet on the deck. The young man's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, cautiously, looking at the vicious gray warrior, he didn't dare to make a sound.

The old militiaman winked and made Puap back a few steps. Then, he smiled kindly.

"Cough! Don't be afraid, kid. We didn't mean anything, we saved you."

"...?"

The young man's face was full of confusion. Chiwako then remembered and spoke again in Nahua.

"We saved you, don't be afraid!"

"..."

The young man pursed his lips, his expression changed slightly, but he was still vigilant.

"Son, who are you and what's your name?"

"..."

"Son, where are you from, are you from Tlaxcala?"

"..."

"Old Qi, why are you spending so much money? When you get to the shore, just hand him over to the Mexica warriors stationed there!"

Puap showed impatience and shouted loudly in skilled Nahua language.

"In the hands of the Mexica warriors, no matter what we do, it has nothing to do with us!"

Hearing this, the young man shuddered, his face showing deep fear. He finally spoke, pleading in a low voice.

"No, please don't, hand me over to the Mexica warriors!...You...who are you, and why are you wearing Mexica uniforms?"

Hearing this, the corners of Chiwako's mouth were upturned, and his smile became more and more kind.

"We're from Prepecha, from the Kingdom of the Lake, and we play for the Alliance. How about you?"

"I...I'm from Atelisco, from the Quadruple Federation."

The young man was uneasy and replied weakly.

"Please, please don't, hand me over, Mexica."

"Atlisco? Where is that?"

Chiwaco was a little dazed. He looked at Puap, who also shook his head in confusion. The old militiaman thought for a while, then said with a smile.

"Blessed by the gods! You were rescued from the water, obviously loved by the rain god. We always follow the omens of the gods and won't kill you... Well, my name is Chiwako, how about you?"

"..."

The boy hesitated for a while. He opened his eyes wide, looked at Chiwaco's amiable old face, and finally answered in a low voice.

"I... my name is Dark Snake."

"Dark snake? In the name of a snake, could it be..."

Hearing this, Puap's eyes flashed. He looked at the boy on the deck again, as if looking at a valuable sacrifice, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand.

"Snapped!"

Chiwako raised his brows and hit Puap's hand with the spear in his hand.

"Old man Qi? You!..."

"Old Pu, shut up! Put your mind away!"

The old militiaman stared, Puap was speechless, and stopped his voice. Then, the old militiaman's eyes flashed, and he looked at the young dark snake for a long time, looking straight at the other party's hair.

"Eighteen or nineteen... If Chipava hadn't died, it would have been this age... No, even older..."

Chiwaco murmured, not knowing what to say. After a while, he sighed and spoke gently.

"Dark Snake, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com This ship does not accept idlers. Can you paddle?"

"..."

The young dark snake was overwhelmed and did not speak.

"Can you cook?"

"..."

"Can't you? It doesn't matter, if you don't, you can follow along. It's very fast. Um... You can follow Shanbird first and become a deck apprentice, starting with the simplest deck cleaning..."

Chiwaco smiled, his expression lenient. He looked at the mountain bird beside him and was about to make arrangements.

Hearing the old militiaman's words and looking at the other party's gentle expression, the young dark snake pursed his lips, suddenly a little unconvinced. He thought about it for a while, and answered in a strange way.

"I... I know numbers and calendars, I can see the stars, and I can draw!"
