Jiang Xing left Xiacun Town and went all the way to the east, and finally entered the territory of Qizhou two months later, and traveled for more than ten days, and came to a town in the easternmost part of Qizhou, near the sea. It's called Marina Town.

It is very different from Yuzhou, walking on the streets of Qizhou, you can hear the sound of waves. The climate here is relatively humid, and Jiang Xing came here to have a full meal and a good night's sleep.

The next morning, I ran to the beach, it was the scorching sun of August, and the people here basically made a living from fishing. The waves in the distance slapped one after another, and there were many fishing boats parked on the beach, and many fishermen had already gone out to fish during the day. If you come back at night, it will at least multiply

More than 1,000 nautical miles, Jiang Xing estimated that it would take about a month to go by boat, which was still not counting the fact that there were no accidents on the road.

Jiang Xing was also shocked when he thought about it, it didn't matter if the land was thousands of miles, everything on the sea was unknown, and although he could swim, his strength was so small in front of nature. When danger comes, what if you drown again?

There was a small boat in front of him, and an old man of fifty or sixty years old was sleeping in the bow, and Jiang walked closer. Seeing that the old man had dark skin, his face was full of folds, his hair was about to fall out, and he was sparse and sparse, and he barely tied his pigtails. I'm snoring with my mouth open.

Jiang Xing gently tapped his fingers on the boat,

When, dang, two sounds, without waiting for Jiang Xing to speak

I saw that the old man's body was unmoved, his mouth was closed, his eyes were slightly open, and he stared at Jiang Xing and said coldly: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Xing said with a smile: "Master, is it okay for me to inquire about something?"

When the old man heard him say this, his eyes were closed, and he was ready to go to sleep again.

Jiang Xing reached out and took out a five-tael silver ingot from his arms and gently placed it on the boat.

When the old man saw Jiang Xing moving again, he squinted at him again, and when he saw the silver ingots of five taels, his eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly sat up, took the silver ingots that Jiang Xing put on the bow of the boat, and smiled: "I don't know what you want to ask?"

Jiang Xing pursed his lips and said, "Master, I want to ask, are we going to sea here?"

"Of course, what's wrong? Are you playing or fishing?"

"Oh, I want to go to a place on the sea, and I want someone to take me there. ”

"Where is the sea?

"Let's put it this way, a thousand miles or so to the east, no matter where you go, as long as you have a place to stay. ”

As soon as the old man heard Jiang Xing say this, he was stunned, and then looked up at the sky again, his eyes rolling wildly. He pondered for a moment and said, "A thousand miles or so is not close, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Xing looked at him expressionlessly and said, "This doesn't bother the master, as long as it is delivered to me, the money is not a problem." ”

The old man nodded and said: "I grew up on this beach since I was a child, and I am fifty-eight years old this year. If you trust me, how about I take you?"

Jiang Xing thought it would take about a month, but he didn't expect that as long as it was bumpy for more than ten days, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Okay, you can." ”

The old man squinted at him and said, "Let's go first as a villain and then as a gentleman, I'll send you over and add it back, and it's not too much to charge you fifty taels, right?"

Jiang Xing didn't know what the situation was after the past, so he didn't dare to talk too much, and said, "Okay, fifty taels is fifty taels." ”

"Good boy, refresh, get on the boat!" the old man immediately got up and patted his ass after hearing Jiang Xing's words.

Jiang Xing didn't ink, helped him push the boat into the water, and then got on the boat.

The boat is not big, it is not the same as the big ship like the painting boat I have seen before, but it is not a little bigger than a small boat. It can seat up to five or six people, and there is no cover or compartment on the boat. There is a wooden paddle for rowing on each side of the hull.

Jiang Xing sat in the middle of the boat with a change of clothes package on his back and a sword in his hand. The old man is getting old, and his hands and feet are indeed nimble. The two arms swung the wooden paddle in front of the chest as if they were clockwork. The boat runs on the sea as if it had long legs. Slowly, the shore is gone.

The two of them were very bored when they rowed and sat upright, so they had to chat, and they learned that the old man was also a big family when he was young, and he also had a wife, and then his wife died of a serious illness.

The old man also told him some strange things about the sea, so as to pass the time.

Although Jiang Xing said that he could swim, it was the first time to come to the sea, the sea was quite calm, the endless blue, the sky and the sea were connected, and the front seemed to be the end of the sea, but he couldn't walk.

The old man had a compass that he used to determine directions. He had to look at it from time to time so he wouldn't get lost.

Time flies, sometimes the old man is tired, Jiang Xing will shake the pulp for him, slowly the sun sinks to the bottom of the sea from that side, night falls, eats some dry food and drinks water, Jiang Xing yawns and prepares to sleep.

It was quiet, except for the occasional crash of the waves against the hull of the ship and the sound of birds hunting at night. Sleeping on the sea, there is a different taste, as long as you lie down and put the Buddha world, it is the same as spinning, the old man also rests, but he is different from Jiang Xing, he can fall asleep when he goes there. made Jiang Xing envious.

In the middle of the night, the wind reaches out and does not see the five fingers,

Suddenly there was a thunderclap, Jiang Xing sat up, a wrinkled face approached, and the bright light of lightning shone on his face, glowing with a faint blue light. It really scared Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing frowned and before he could speak, the old man spoke first: "Oh, I see that it is about to rain, so I will call you." ”

Jiang Xing nodded, looked at the sky, it was not pitch black, there was still the moon when he first slept, but now it was cloudy, Jiang Xing replied: "Is the sky on the sea so unpredictable?"

"Yes, yes. ”

As soon as they had spoken a few words, the rain began to fall, and although it was not heavy, there was a wind that blew the boat. It was very bumpy to shake left and right, Jiang Xing had no choice, so he tied himself tightly to the boat with a rope, for fear that he would fall.

It wasn't until the sun rose in the morning that the rain stopped, and Jiang Xing didn't sleep all night and was tossed and choked. His eyes were bloodshot and his sockets were black.

Quickly scoop the water out of the cabin, and when it dries a little, quickly lie down and rest.

The old man didn't sleep when it rained at night, maybe because of the rain, or maybe he was afraid that the cabin would sink into the water.

When Jiang Xing was asleep in a daze, he heard someone coming over and tiptoeing. Subconsciously alert and opened his eyes, it was the old man rowing again.

Jiang Xing frowned and glared at him and said, "What does the master have to do?" ”

The old man scratched his head with a sneer, and then said sharply with a gloomy face: "You kid is so alert, you have been walking for about a hundred miles, there is no one around, there is no other idea, give me all the money on you, and then jump into the sea by yourself, I will not embarrass you." ”

Jiang Xing woke up sleepless and looked at the old man: "I can give you all the money, it's useless if I want it, you just need to take me to a thousand miles away, and I will do what I say." ”

"Hahaha, thousands of miles away, I don't want to go so far away from it, even if I want to go, I guess I can't come back. I'm afraid you didn't inquire about the "ghost fog" thousands of miles away. I don't know how long ago there was this ghost fog, and none of the people who formed a team to thousands of miles away in Binhai Town came back, and you kid is bold. ”

Jiang Xing said with a chill on his face: "It seems that the old master didn't plan to take me over in the first place?"

"Yes, I should have started while you were asleep last night, but I didn't expect that God would not be beautiful, and you are still so energetic after a night of waves, I am too lazy to bother, take out the money. ”

Jiang Xing gritted his teeth and exhaled: "I said it a long time ago, as long as you promise me to take me, I will definitely give it to you." If you don't agree, you have to turn your face and be ruthless, I'm not welcome, only I went alone. ”

After speaking, he pulled out the sword he had been holding in his hand.

"Hahaha, you kid, I may not be your young opponent on the ground, I grew up by the sea since I was a child, and with more than fifty years of experience, you have to think clearly!"

"Give you money and let me go to the sea, hehe, that's a good calculation. Jiang Xing knew that nonsense could not solve the problem at this time. He stepped forward sharply. Originally, the distance between the two was about three or four steps. One step really made the old man jump.

scolded "You kid is so ruthless", and he didn't speak. Turning his head and puffing, he plunged directly into the sea.

Jiang Xing rushed directly to the side of the boat in three steps, and looked down with a sword probe, there were only layers of waves in the sea, and no one could be seen.

Jiang Xing didn't dare to be careless at all, and hurriedly shook the oars and prepared to leave this sea area quickly.

Before he could shake the oars twice, the hull of the boat suddenly shook, and then violently, and the boat shook rhythmically, left and then right. The action is big and scary.

Jiang Xing even rocked the oars but only spun in place, at this time the boat shook so violently, Jiang Xing didn't dare to rock the oars, for fear that he would fall into the water unsteadily.

Hurriedly crouched down and lowered his center of gravity, threw the sword at his feet, and grabbed the side of the ship tightly with both hands.

After a few breaths, Jiang Xing jumped off the boat violently,

The boat then capsized.
