Chapter 253: Sea Voyage

Over the next three days, they went all out to procure all the supplies needed for the voyage from the port, and then placed them all in the appropriate areas of the ship.

They then carried out further maintenance and repairs to the entire ship, even though they had already repaired it once not long ago.

But as the ship's chief mate, Gou Xiong, said, "What follows is an unprecedented voyage, and this ship is going to take us to areas where no one else has set foot, so no matter how cautious it is, it should be." ”

Therefore, for this ocean-going sailing ship about 20 meters long, named "Pingta", everyone loves this ship as if they were their own eyes. So that the boat looks as brand new as possible.

But this is obviously impossible. In just three days, no matter how hard everyone on board tried, it was impossible for this boat, which had been in the water for five or six years, to become a new ship.

And as for postponing the voyage to the sea, it is even more impossible. The monsoons and currents at sea are also regular, and leaving after three days is the best time for them. If the time is missed, the danger of the voyage will be multiplied several times.

Therefore, three days later, even though the new round of maintenance and repair work has not been completely completed, with the order of captain Bai Yi, this ocean-going sailing ship named Pingta still sailed out to sea.

"Whew, this feels amazing!"

As the ship slowly sailed out of the harbor area, smelling the salty and wet sea breeze, and looking at the endless expanse of the sea, Teutoni's mood at this time could not help but be a little indescribable.

So in the end, he said with emotion. Looking at him, Bai Yi, the captain on the side, couldn't help but smile and said, "I think I can understand how you feel now, don't you really want to look up to the sky and roar?"

"Haha, sort of. ”

"Come then!" said the captain, and then stood at the bow of the ship and let out a loud howl.

"The sea, labor and management are here again, roar!"

"Roar !!"

Everyone on the ship was infected by it, and even the usually calm first mate couldn't help but raise his hair and let out a long howl. And because they were now on the ocean, the voice was heard far and wide. Although it was impossible to hear any echoes, I suddenly felt that my mood became much more relaxed. Therefore, after a long whistle, everyone on the boat couldn't help but let out a series of hearty laughs.

"So like I said, driving the boat, navigating through the storm. Going to unknown areas and experiencing adventures that have never been experienced before is the life of a true man!"

"What about the woman?" Lulu, the only woman on the boat, couldn't help but pretend to sink her face when she heard this.

This made Bai Yi, who had just said this, stunned, and then immediately scratched his head and smiled: "Of course you are a hero, you are a well-deserved hero among us." ”

After saying that, I saw that he turned his gaze to the far east, even if he didn't speak, Bai Yi at this time also had an awe-inspiring heroic spirit. It's just that as time goes by, more and more troubles come to the door every now and then.

First came the boredom of long-distance sailing, then the unpredictable weather on the sea. One minute there may be heavy rain and the next minute the wind and sunshine will be beautiful, and the unpredictable weather makes Teutoni a real pain when he is sailing for the first time.

So on the third day after leaving the port, he fell ill and developed a fever afterwards. Fortunately, they had a doctor on board, and they were the disciples of the inspired Kuroishi Haru, otherwise they might not have known what would have happened.

Because in this day and age, whether it is an ocean voyage or an offshore voyage, once you fall down due to illness and fever, then the chance of recovery is only 2 thirds. As for what will happen to the remaining third, it is often impossible to escape the rapid deterioration of the condition, followed by a whine.

Even if the power of faith can be fed, it will inevitably fall ill in the end. Moreover, this recovery rate is already considered high, and if there is no power of faith to feed back, the chance of recovery of the patient will be even lower.

After all, the health conditions of ships at sea are so poor that the sick have to endure not only the disease, but also the rotten and smelly fresh water and food.

In any case, it is said that when the tribe began their first sea exchange with the Deros, it was because of the improper preparation for this voyage, and the food and fruit on board were rotten just halfway through the voyage.

In the end, the people on the ship even had to feed on biscuits of rotting maggots, which barely made it to their destination.

That's why, apart from beer and beans, all the food prepared on board is food that can be stored for a long time. For example, salted fish and pickles with a lot of salt, black bread that is unpalatable but can be stored for a long time, etc.

Therefore, after nearly ten days at sea, everyone on board was basically disgusted with their existing food.

"When I eat these things, it's like eating a belt and gnawing leather!"

The burly big black said with a frown. This made Xiaobai, who often told jokes on the side, couldn't help but joke about him: "You fart, the belt and leather can be so unpalatable." I feel like I'm gnawing on wood. ”

Gnawing on wood, that's actually a good thing to say. For whether it was dried fish or brown bread on the bed, it was as hard as wood.

Therefore, Xiaobai, who likes to tell jokes when eating black bread, couldn't help but tell a joke to everyone, "Once upon a time, there was a blacksmith who was not very skilled, and everything he made was very rough. Whether it's a sword or a knife, it's all shattered at the touch of it. So no one wanted to buy what he made, until one day the blacksmith passed by the bakery and saw the black bread in the shop. Immediately, I came up with an idea to make a fortune.

He bought all the brown bread in the shop and sharpened it into the shape of a sword, and guess what?"

"The blacksmith has made a fortune?"

"No, the bakery owner has turned to blacksmithing. ”

"you, you're exaggerating. The crowd, including Teuton, burst into laughter. However, although this is an exaggeration, it also illustrates the hardness of black bread from the side. Picking up a piece of brown bread can sometimes be used as a brick movers.

So in the days that followed, there were often people who tried to fish or fish so that they could eat fresh meat on board. So after more than ten days, the bean sprouts made from beans became the most precious food on the ship.

Because even if the other vegetables are not eaten, they will be rotten for more than ten days at room temperature. So at this time, the only vegetable that everyone can eat is bean sprouts.

As a result, the supply of bean sprouts on the ship began to be limited early, and the people on board could only eat some at noon every day.
