Chapter 1093: Out to Sea
I lived in the Dafeng Teahouse on Ludao for a few days, according to the old coffin, that is, not every day there are boats out to sea, after all, this is not a serious merchant ship, but a fishing boat carrying all kinds of antiques.
Except for some of the Ming utensils collected by Dafeng Teahouse, after being auctioned directly to others, the rest are to be shipped overseas and sold at overseas auction venues.
Dafeng teahouse has a lot of points in overseas countries, and foreigners in these countries are very fond of domestic antiques, so the overseas market is also very large.
It is undeniable that in this way, domestic antiques have been lost overseas, but in fact, they have no choice, because it is illegal to resell antiques in China, especially these Ming utensils poured out of the bucket, there is no proof and formalities at all, so they can only be sold overseas.
However, not every day, or even every week, there are boats that go out, and they have to wait until everything is almost ready, enough for a boat, or something that is particularly urgent to be sent out, and it is usually a fishing boat, and it has to be sneaked away from the hidden seashore.
However, Dafeng Tea House has been in this business for so long, so it naturally has a set of operations and routes for them, so we naturally don't have to worry about it.
My concern was that we had never been to sea before, and I was still full of worries about this long trip.
A week later, the old coffin said that the ship was ready to depart, and let us leave for the dock at once.
I just picked up my backpack and followed them out the door.
They drove me to a location that was more of a fishing village than a wharf.
"Xiaofan, you remember, the time is very short, every month we will have a boat passing by the market in Penglai Xiandao, there is also a Dafeng teahouse there, but after all, it belongs to the sphere of influence of Penglai Xiandao, we don't have much power there, it's just a transit point, if there is anything, you go to the person in charge of the transit point, anyway, it's only a year, not to mention that you still have time to come back to cultivate disciples, so try not to delay, purchase things, or collect seeds, you come back quickly." Before leaving, the old coffin explained, I didn't expect such a domineering corpse king to have such a careful time.
"Okay, I got it. I nodded.
"There are many unknown risks at sea compared to on land at sea, so be careful yourself. Wu Xiaoyue next to her said: "We have already greeted the captain and crew, and they will take care of you." ”
"Hmm. I nodded again and got on board.
After getting on the boat, the whole fishing boat smelled of fish, and the smell of fish was really terrible.
And the whole ship is pitch black, and the lights are not turned on, it should be for safety reasons, to avoid tracking.
The captain arranged for me a separate cabin, which was in good condition, at least with a separate space and a separate toilet, so I didn't have to squeeze in with the crew.
Because I was floating on the sea, and it was late at night, there was no sea view to see at all, and there was still this section of the road, and I heard that it would take three hours to reach a safe place, that is, to enter the open sea.
I simply lay on the bed, put my head on my head with my arms on my shoulder, and then closed my eyes and sensed the surroundings, the waves at night were rattling, and the whole fishing boat was swaying with the waves, but I had an indescribable feeling in my heart.
As I moved away from Heron Island and into the middle of the sea with water on all sides, I could finally feel the concept of a leaf drifting across the ocean, and in the vast sea, the whole fishing boat was like a lonely leaf, drifting with the waves.
After a while, the lights on the boat came on, the people on the boat came to life, and the fishing boat, which had been quiet, instantly became popular, and the captain walked towards my room.
Knock knock.
The captain knocked on the door and said, "Xiao Fan, we are now on the high seas, it's safe, if you are stuffy inside, come out on the deck to breathe and eat something." ”
"Good. "Lying alone in the dark cabin, it is indeed stuffy, and there is a smell of sea, which is particularly uncomfortable, and it is time to go out to breathe.
When I got on deck, I found that many of the crew were lighting cigarettes, and when they saw me, they all smiled and nodded hello.
The captain handed me a cigarette, I lit it, and then I took a deep breath, and the sea breeze blew in my face, and it was very refreshing.
I took two breaths and looked at the waves under the boat, the waves were rattling, the sea was turbulent, and the lights I wore could only illuminate one or twenty meters around.
"Xiaofan, in fact, you don't have to worry too much, we have run more than 100 times for this job, this road is very familiar, there is nothing to worry about. "The captain saw me in a daze and comforted me.
"Don't worry, you're all veterans of boating, I'm just going to sea for the first time, and I'm just a little unused to it. "I leaned against the railing and watched the rolling waters.
"In fact, it's just a little boring, you can't just walk casually on land, but soon, you can get to Penglai Xiandao in about half a month, mainly depending on the weather, if the weather is very good, there is no wind and waves, ten days can be, but if you encounter a storm, you have to find a place to hide, there are many islands and reefs in the South China Sea, you can dock. The captain continued.
"Are there any other risks in the process?" I asked casually.
But seeing the captain frowning slightly, he said after a long time: "Actually, we Hokkien people don't like to say these unlucky words, but this is actually a problem to face in reality. ”
"What is it that is not clean?" I asked the captain with interest, I was not afraid of this thing, but I had an inexplicable urge in my heart to find out.
"There are some creatures in the sea that have never been seen before, there are many creatures hidden under the ocean that we don't know, some creatures are so powerful that they can capsize a 10,000-ton cruise ship, you think, what is this concept. The captain smiled helplessly.
Yu Meng, that is, the mermaid, said that when the conch remembers, the people in the sea will come to pick her up, so how many races are there in the deep sea? It seems that these races are at the disposal of the conch.
The water ghosts and water monkeys that people often say should also be a kind of sea tribe, but I haven't seen them yet, so I don't know what they look like.
Then after a little more small talk, it was not interesting anyway, except for the sea breeze or the sea breeze, I turned to the captain and said, "I'll go back and rest first, something will call me." ”
"Okay. Everyone else nodded.
