Ask The Dao

On February 2, the dragon looked up.

With the advent of another trade season, the port of Linyungang is gradually prospering.

At the dock.

A large number of laborers shouted, carrying boxes of goods on their shoulders and transporting them to various large-wing merchant ships.

Ping Er lifted a load of raw silk onto the deck. After coming down, he was already panting like a dog. He looked at the two large wooden boxes in Xiong Hei's hand. His face was not red and breathless, and he could not help but feel jealous. :'You Xiong Heizi, you deserve to be a coolie for a lifetime! ’

"Hurry up, don't miss the hour!"

Up and down the big wing, Qin Feiyu took a group of brothers to and fro patrolling and supervised meticulously.

Ping Er looked at this scene and couldn't help being very envious: "This group of masters can actually catch the way of the Gongsun Chamber of Commerce, this time it will definitely be sent... Unfortunately, if I knew this a long time ago, I would sell myself, and I have to serve that master. ."

Xiong Hei raised his neck, drank cold water, rolled his eyes, seemingly too lazy to pay attention to him.

And Ping Er is an active temper after all, and he stabbed Xiong Hei: "What did you move just now?"

"Copper coins, copper blocks, used to ballast!" Xiong Hei stared, "Are you still not working?"

"Tsk tsk..."

After listening to Ping Er, he followed Hei Xiong, still babbling: "It's a pity... Xiong Heizi, what a great opportunity, why don't you cherish it."

...

In the big wing cabin.

"Owner of the boat, please bear with me when I go to sea this time!"

Duan Yu looked at the owner of the ship in front of him. His surname was Wu and he was given the nickname "Old Aconitum". He was in his fifties. His face became a healthy bronze color because of the sun all the year round. His temples were slightly creamy, his lips were thin, and his body was old. The unique breath of sea dog.

"Where and where, the young master is the guest of the young master, and the small self-response is...just the young master's manpower?"

The old Aconitum rubbed his hands, and a light flashed through his eyes.

"Naturally be yours!" Duan Yu waved his hand generously.

One big wing can carry hundreds of people is good, but only pirate ships can do that. Usually, a dozen sailors can start moving, or prepare a dozen sailors to shake the scull.

For safety reasons, the Gongsun Chamber of Commerce deployed fifty sailors on each big wing, including the guards.

The sailors on the sea had encountered pirates, so they had to come forward to fight to the death.

In this way, ten ships are five hundred people, even if you encounter pirate ships, you can fight.

However, Duan Yu's ship was a bit special. Old Aconitum only took his nineteen men, and the rest were sailors recruited by Duan Yu himself.

It was Duan Yu's meal, and he took the reward money from him, so naturally it was listening to him.

However, Duan Yu still respected the opinions of experts on sailing matters. In fact, he wished that Qin Feiyu and the others would be used more aggressively to learn something.

Going to the sea at this time, especially the Chamber of Commerce, is a very solemn matter.

A few days ago, Gongsun Xiaobai ordered people to worship the sea gods at all levels in accordance with the rules, and foretell the appropriate time to leave the port.

Until today, sacrifices such as pigs, cattle, and sheep heads were placed, and after burning incense and praying, they threw their minds into the sea, and then ordered the sail.

In an instant, ten big wings stretched out the boat sculls and quickly drove away from the port. The big sails gradually rose like a white cloud.

Even though this fleet is not small in the entire Linyungang, it immediately attracted many people to stop and watch, with envy and worries.

The pursuit of wealth at sea will never stop.

The danger and death caused by this can only be borne by each individual.

"The sea...I am coming!"

Standing on the deck, looking at the blue blue sky and white clouds, feeling the refreshing breeze with a hint of salty smell, Duan Yu couldn't help muttering to himself.

The waves of Yunlan Continent are weird, and great chaos is in sight.

If you want to take advantage of the momentum and be happy, you must successfully get the most chips in this huge gambling game in the East China Sea!

...

Real sea navigation is very boring.

Not to mention that in ancient times, water restrictions were very strict. Basically, if you don’t feel sorry for God, if it rains heavily, you don’t need to think about taking a bath. So after a while, the smell on the boat will be very bad. Duan Yu had to put up symbols such as'Clean clothes and Clean Qi' in his separate cabin.

Oh, on this ship, only he and the old Aconitum were treated as separate cabins. It was also very narrow and closed, and it was hard to turn around.

Once it encounters wind and waves, it will be extremely shaking at night, making it difficult to sleep.

As for the daily food, it is also very monotonous and simple, and there is not the slightest green color, and it is easy for the sailor to get scurvy-if the voyage is longer.

Fortunately, Duan Yu, a real soul, is of great use at this time.

After his method of dispelling the disease, he has been sailing for a month, and it is incredible that none of the crew members have been attenuated due to illness.

At least after seeing Duan Yu's practice a few times, the old Wutou became more respectful to him.

At this time, the weather is clear and endless.

Duan Yu came to the deck and couldn't help sighing when he saw the blue water on all sides.

Originally, the scenery looked good, but after looking at it for a month, it can drive people crazy, especially the illusion of staying still.

At this moment, the ship in front of us suddenly flagged.

The old Wutou climbed up to the mast and immediately became excited: "My lord... we are going to a supply island of our chamber of commerce ahead."

The scattered islands scattered on the ocean are simply a gift from heaven for the sailing fleet.

Especially the islands that have been explored, as a mark can give the fleet great confidence-at least they are not lost.

According to the old Wutou, although the island is not big, there is only about one township, but it has clean water sources, and during the previous boat trips, they also buried some supplies here, some beasts on the island. With lettuce, it can be added to the evening meal.

Soon, a small island appeared in Duan Yu's sight.

The white sandy beach was slender and dusty, and even Qin Feiyu couldn't help but cheered. He took off his shoes and swam to the shore, feeling the delicate touch from under the soles of his feet, almost moved to tears.

If you haven't sailed for a long time at sea, you don't know the value of foot on land.

"Haha...you see, son, there are turtles!"

The old Aconitum was elated and asked the sailor to grab the turtles the size of a grinding plate, and put them on the boat with all their feet up and down, and explained: "The meat for the next month will depend on them!"

Duan Yu was startled: "Do you want to eat turtle meat?"

"Of course, this kind of tortoise can live for a long time, and then slaughtered when you want to eat fresh meat in the future, it is a godsend of deliciousness!"

"Uh……"

While being speechless, another small servant came and asked Duan Yu to go to Gongsun Xiaobai's place.

The ships were all anchored because of their lives and rest. Other sailors drilled into the forest with knives, guns, bows and arrows. After a short while, they caught some small beasts and placed them on the campfire for barbecue.

In addition, a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms were collected. After the doctor on board saw them, some poisons were removed. The rest were cooked in several large pots. A group of sailors were eating and drinking happily.

Compared to them, even when sailing, Gongsun Xiaobai had a very good time.

At this time, he ordered the little waiter to spread a woolen blanket on the ground, and a maid was making tea next to him. When she saw Duan Yu, her eyes brightened and she invited: "Brother Duan, how about a cup of tea?"

There are a lot of low-alcohol wines stored in the cabins, because the wine is less prone to deterioration than clean water, and it is not so convenient to make tea.

Duan Yu took the teacup, and there was a snack presented by the maid in front of him. These kinds of enjoyment were beyond the reach of the sailors.

However, in this world, in this era, upper and lower esteem and hierarchy are inevitable.

"Speaking of it, it is also the blessing of Brother Duan. This month has been smooth and smooth, without storms..." Gongsun Xiaobai took a sip of tea and immediately came to the topic: "But the next sea route will be very dangerous. "

"Oh? I would like to hear the details!"

Duan Yu got a little bit of energy and sat in a precarious manner.

"The route from Linyungang to the country of Izumo, my Gongsun Chamber of Commerce has been running for more than ten years. When the storm blows and where there are reefs... it is all clear, but the only thing that is unpredictable is the sea. The migration pattern of monsters! And pirates!"

Gongsun Xiaobai solemnly said: "The monsters and spirits all have wisdom, and their actions are completely irregular. The same is true for pirates. The lower half of the route is about to reach the frequent occurrence of these two disasters."

"Monster...with pirates?"

"The pirates are okay. At least we see that we have ten big wings, and there is no such cumbersome swallowing, we may not dare to provoke! Monster beasts may not be."

The average pirate ship is about a hundred people, and this five-hundred-man fleet really can't eat it.

Of course, if you are unlucky, meet a few pirates confluence to do this ticket business, or simply be targeted by those big pirates who own dozens of ships, it can only be regarded as Gongsun Xiaobai.

But even more dangerous than these are the monsters and spirits!

Pirates may only be interested in property and ships~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If nobles are found, they will be captured and blackmailed by their families.

But monsters are different! They are full of hatred for humans, and will attack ships from time to time. If they encounter such a huge body, a large wing may be knocked over!

In the vast ocean, this is not much different from death.

It is the same if you encounter a ghost, maybe all the people in the ship will be sucked away, leaving only an empty ghost ship!

"I wonder what monster beast in the next sea area is so dangerous?"

Duan Yu's expression tightened.

Even if it is him, it is still under great pressure to survive in this vast sea.

"Others are okay, but there is a giant fish called'Monster Kun', and even some archipelago tribes worship gods... Its cruising range is very wide, almost monopolizing the route of Izumo country, no matter where it is from. Can't get around, this beast has a bad temper and likes to capsize ships."
