Chapter 250: A Dream Come True
It's dawn.
After a night's rest, I have a lot of energy. After eating and drinking, Yang Congyi and the others quickly set off while the weather was still hot.
Yesterday evening I found a path in the jungle on the shore, and if I followed it, I had a good chance of finding the village, and if I was lucky, I could replenish some supplies, and even find a larger market town. But Yang Congyi really wanted to see if there were any things in the dream behind the bay, he always felt that the dream was very strange, the first half of the dream had already been encountered in reality, and he didn't know if the second half could also be as he wished.
Tang Xun has no objection, Yang Congyi wants to go along the bay, then she will follow and be a staunch supporter.
In half an hour, they bypassed the bay, but to Yang Congyi's disappointment, there was no bigger bay behind the bay, but a straight coastline, and everything expected did not appear.
Yang Congyi was not reconciled, and continued to move along the coastline with Tang Xun.
didn't go long ago, Yang Congyi's eyes suddenly became hot, and his heart was also excited and difficult to calm down!
Not far in front of me, the coast disappeared from sight, and apparently there was a small bay at the front door.
Yang Congyi greeted, and the two of them sped up and walked forward.
"Boat! Boat! Boat! As soon as he approached the bay, Tang Xun pointed to a big ship and shouted loudly, happy like a child.
Yang Congyi suppressed the many doubts and excitement in his heart, and replied calmly: "Siniang, let's go over and see if we can catch this boat." ”
The two of them couldn't wait to run to the open sea.
It's incredible, how did everything I saw in my dream come true? This is absolutely unscientific, he has never been to the west coast of Indochina, let alone foreseen a ship parked here, what the hell is going on? Yang Congyi's mind was a little flustered.
But more than that, he cared more about whether the ship could be used by them, and if not, then they would be empty of joy.
When they approached the shore where the big ship was anchored, they looked at the big ship four or five feet away from the shore, and their hearts began to feel a little uneasy, because there was no trace of human activity on the coast, and the ship was unusually quiet.
"People?" Yang Congyi stood on the shore and shouted at the big boat.
The sound came far away, but there was no response from the ship.
"Is there anyone there?" Yang Congyi shouted again.
The sea ships four or five feet away still did not respond.
Looking at all this in front of him, Tang Xun's excitement gradually disappeared, and he was even a little worried, and reminded in a low voice: "Yang Lang, I'm afraid there is something wrong here, let's not make trouble, let's leave quickly." ”
Yang Congyi glanced back at her and said with a smile: "Siniang is worried that this ship is a pirate?" Actually, don't worry, if it's really pirates, they would have come out early. ”
After another shout, there was still not even the slightest sound on the ship.
"Siniang, you wait here first, I'll get on the boat and see the situation." Yang Congyi said as he put down the things in his hand, took off his clothes and prepared to go into the water.
Tang Xun couldn't stop it, so he had to advise: "Then you be careful, if the situation is not right, come back quickly." ”
Yang Congyi looked back and smiled: "I know, don't worry." With that, he got into the water and swam towards the big boat.
The distance of four or five zhang is not far, and in a blink of an eye, under the bow of the ship, Yang Congyi grabbed the chain of the thickness of the egg and climbed the bow deck more than one zhang high.
The deck was as clean as new, the top was clean, there was nothing but the downed mast, and the door to the cabin was closed, not knowing what was inside.
"Is anyone there?" Yang Congyi shouted tentatively again.
There was no movement in the cabin, and there was dead silence.
Could it be that the ship is empty, just like in the dream?
Yang Congyi didn't waste any more time, went straight across the deck to the hatch, stretched out his hand and opened the hatch, and when he went in, there was no one in the cabin, but there were a lot of boxes.
At this moment, Yang Congyi was like a thief who came to visit, very nervous and a little excited.
"Is anyone there?" He shouted again at the hatch, but still couldn't hear any response.
At this time, Yang Congyi didn't care about it anymore, and quickly entered the cabin to check the cabin up and down.
He was shocked by the results of the inspection, there were plenty of food and supplies on board, and there were many tools, everything needed to survive at sea, and it was almost the same as what he had seen in his dreams.
In particular, there is a well-made compass on the ship, which is much finer than the needle plate made by Shen Jin, looking at the material and production process, it should not be something that should be in this era, which makes him shocked, is there any other traverser here? Otherwise, how could there be such a thing that should not appear!
In order to prevent her from discovering other things on the ship that were difficult to explain to Tang Xun, Yang Congyi checked everything inside and out, and found a lot of things that were difficult to explain, so he simply gathered all those things and hid them in the lowest corner, so as not to be discovered by Tang Xun.
After doing all this, Yang Congyi returned to the bow of the ship, went down to the sea along the anchor chain, and returned to the shore.
"Yang Lang, how is it? You've been gone for so long, I'm worried to death. As soon as Tang Xun saw Yang Congyi coming back, he immediately stepped forward and pulled him to ask.
Yang Congyi said: "Good news, there is no one on this ship, but the materials on it are very complete, and there is everything for food and drink." The ship is also very new and sturdy, and ocean navigation is not a problem. But the problem is that we don't know who the ship belongs to, where the people on board have gone, I didn't find any clue on it, everything was in order, and there was no sign of an accident. Now there is no one on the boat, and there is no one on the shore, which is very abnormal. Whether or not to get on board now, we should consider it. ”
Hearing the news on the ship, Tang Xun was very happy, and he couldn't wait to get on the merchant ship immediately, and immediately said: "Since there is no one on this ship, let's go up and have a look first, and it won't be too late to explain when the people come back." ”
Yang Congyi said: "Also, if we want to go back, we must take a boat, and we have to take this boat no matter what." Then let's go, I'll take you there. ”
Tang Xun couldn't swim, and if he wanted to get on the boat, he couldn't do without Yang Congyi's help, so the two of them lost everything except for a pair of clothes.
Four or five zhang away, it took a lot of time for the two to swim under the boat, Tang Xun also drank a few sips of bitter seawater, and after climbing to the bow of the boat, it took a while to recover.
The first thing you do when you get on board is to have a good meal.
Trapped on the island for nearly two months, only eat fruits and fruits every day, it is difficult to eat after eating, but in order to survive, they can only keep eating, although there are many seabirds on the island, but they have no tinder, they have also tried to drill wood to make fire, but they can't succeed at all, I haven't eaten cooked food for a long time, and now when I got to the boat, I saw that everything on the ship was complete, Yang Congyi immediately began to make a fire to cook.
For the first meal in two months, they didn't dare to eat too dry or too full, and they had to let their stomachs readjust to cooked hot food, and then they could let go of eating after a few days.
There was nothing missing on the boat, and the two of them changed into clean clothes, and they suddenly felt a lot more refreshed.
Now that you don't have to worry about food and housing, you should think about where to go. It is not known whose the ship belonged to, but judging by some of the things that appeared on the ship, the owner of the ship was certainly not an ordinary person, and it was likely that he was also a traverser. Now they have intruded into his territory for no reason and seen his privacy and secrets, once the owner of the ship finds out, they are likely to be unlucky, but they can't help but stay on this ship, if they miss this opportunity, it is impossible for them to return to the Great Song. The only way to do this is to steal the ship.
Yang Congyi told Tang Xun her thoughts, she didn't object, what could be more important now than having a ship to take them away? What is it to steal a ship, even if it is to kill people and rob ships, with their current situation, they have to do it.
After agreeing on the agreement, the two men immediately took great pains to erect the mast, hung the sails, and then pulled the anchor out to the surface. Be prepared to wait for the right wind and direction to blow your sails and take the boat away from the bay with the force of the wind.
After resting on the ship for the night, a strong southerly wind came on the morning of the second day, and the two hurriedly hoisted the sails.
But since they have not personally controlled the lifting of the sails, they know that it is not as simple as it seems, after the sails are raised, the big ship not only did not float out of the bay, but approached the shore, in desperation, they kept turning the direction of the sails, groping for most of the hour, the big ship finally floated out of the bay.
After leaving the bay, the big boat was still walking backwards, and the two of them were busy turning the sails again, and then the boat turned around.
After the ship sailed five miles along the coast and sailed north downwind, the next course and route were problems, where they were going, how to go, and when they were going.
Since the overall design and construction of this ship was not much different from that of the Great Song Sea Boat, the two had also seen Xuanwei Jun operate the ship on the ship for a long time, so after some exploration, they quickly learned to master the sails and tail rudder.
As for where to go, Yang Congyi had already discussed with Tang Xun before, and now that he really got a big ship, the first choice was naturally to chase Tianzhu, but now is the season of summer storms, and it is very risky to cross the Bay of Bengal. Danger comes with opportunity, if they don't go to Tianzhu, they will be nothing after returning to the Great Song Dynasty, for Yang Congyi, in fact, he has no choice, Tianzhu is going to go anyway.
Having made up their minds, the two turned the sails, adjusted the rudder, and the big ship sailed north along the coast with the strong southerly winds.
In order to avoid uncontrollable dangers, the route of the big ship is always not far from the coast, so that when a big storm comes, it can dock in time to take shelter.
According to Yang Congyi's plan, they will go north along the coast to the northernmost part of the Bay of Bengal, and then turn westward, and the whole trip will take a month, and in another half a month, the summer monsoon will gradually weaken, and the storms in the Indian Ocean will gradually decrease, and there should be no danger in the westward journey.
After that, the big ships of Yang Congyi and Tang Xun, with all the sails open during the day and the sails landing at night, chased all the way around the Bay of Bengal to Tianzhu.
