475. Sea vessels
The two young men became more and more panicked as they walked. The dialect in my ears changes a lot, and when you climb over a hill, you will hear a new accent. When they walked in by land, the two of them had already spent a lot of energy, and it would be a little scary to think about it if they walked out the same way.
What's more, along the way, if the story that happened is written into a legendary story, I am afraid that it will have to be 350,000 words to stop. There is excitement in the tension, and there is some sweetness in addition to the excitement, and there is a little sourness hidden after the sweetness.
Now Xu Xiaole knows that Yu Nianyao is not a substitute for his sister-in-law in his heart, and he doesn't even know what her real name is. Yao is another person's name. This unignited emotion was so nipped in the bud that Xu Xiaole really didn't want to revisit the old place and recall any memories related to Yu Nianyao.
Xu Xiaole even parted ways with Yu Nianyao and found a boat to go to sea by himself. There are not many coast guards in the Ming Dynasty now, and the sea ban is gradually abandoned, and the sea ships that go to sea are getting bigger and bigger. The maritime trade, which originally belonged to the Black World, can now be found in the city and outside the city.
Xu Xiaole saw his own sea fishing document in the city, and the portrait on it was like spending money to draw it in the photo museum, it was simply a god and form, even if a stranger who didn't know each other, he could recognize Xu Xiaole himself between two or three eyes. Therefore, Xu Xiaole could only find someone outside the city to buy a ticket to Leizhou.
Leizhou is above Qiongzhou, further west of Guangzhou. The ticket seller drew a few lines on the table with charcoal, indicating the direction of the voyage and the islands and important towns to be passed. One by one, unfamiliar nouns spit out from the mouth of the Fu guy, and Xu Xiaole felt more inferior in his daze. The sea is not his area of expertise.
Fu Lao looked at Xu Xiaole with contempt, and said in a Fuzhou accent that could barely make Xiaole understand: "Pretty boy, you can rest assured, we are all serious businessmen, and we will definitely bring you to the place." ”
Xu Xiaole said in his heart, how can a serious businessman regard the country's laws as nothing, and blatantly hoist the flag to attract investment? The national law is very clear, only small offshore ships can go to sea, and ocean-going ships with more than three masts and more than 400 materials are still prohibited. He said, "If I don't get out of the boat, I won't get off the boat!" Fu Lao grinned, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow teeth, and a thick tongue coating.
Xu Xiaole originally wanted to tell him, "Your stomach is too hot", but after thinking about it, this lucky guy was laughing at him just now, and he didn't say anything when he was angry. Anyway, a hot stomach is not considered a disease, it has a lot to do with people's living habits, and it is useless to say it.
In the two or three months of traveling in the rivers and lakes, Xu Xiaole knew that the rivers and lakes are not always good people with good rewards, and there are dogs that bite Lu Dongbin.
After sleeping overnight in a small inn outside the city, Xu Xiaole boarded a firewood and rice boat the next day. This kind of small boat transports firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables, and meat to the big ships parked in the ocean, and the smell is very strong, and the sea breeze not only does not blow, but also adds a layer of sea smell.
Xu Xiaole pinched his nose and couldn't help but stare at the skin on his shoulders - all of this sin today is to send you home!
Pippi also covered his face and looked at Xu Xiaole with displeasure. It didn't know what hometown meant, and it didn't know why Xiaole sent it back. In fact, Xu Xiaole himself was a little ignorant about the latter point, but he still remembered the explanation of his uncle and knew that he couldn't let Pippi live in the town all the time. Pipsqueak also clearly likes the mountains and forests, and sometimes wants to blend in with the monkeys. It's just that Pippi's species is much smaller than the average macaque, so he will always be bullied.
Halfway through the boat, the land became a gray line, and the sea water was vast, making Xu Xiaole panic. He said in his heart that the sea ship was really too far away, and most of them were afraid of being caught by the coastal defense. A sailor covered in tendons walked up behind Xu Xiaole, put one hand on Xiaole's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Can the little minister bring all his net worth?" ”
Xu Xiaole's body tightened: "What are you going to do?" ”
The sailor said: "Little Xianggong, you see that this sea is boundless, once you get on the boat, you can only follow the wind, and you can't come back for a while." If you forgot to bring something, it's too late to turn back. ”
Xu Xiaole said: "I'm a Fang Langzhong, and I don't have any luggage. ”
The sailor smiled and said, "In a square man, there is a lot of silver." Come on, let's take it out and take a look, if there are no two or three hundred taels, I'm afraid we will invite you to eat wontons. ”
Xu Xiaole knew that he was afraid that he would get on the black ship, and at this time, if he caught up with the sailors on the ship, or their family members had an incurable disease, they might be able to leave a way to live. However, looking at the sturdy and powerful appearance of the sailors, I am afraid that my medical skills are not useful.
Xu Xiaole said: "I really don't have much silver on me, if you really only need two or three hundred taels, you might as well take me to the city to receive a reward, maybe you can get four or five hundred taels." ”
The sailor was stunned, and said, "What have you done to be worthy of so much silver?" ”
Xu Xiaole spread his hands: "I don't know either." But you see that they are arresting me all over the world, and no one is allowed to hurt me, so you can see that they want me to do something. He had read the sea fishing document that Yu Nianyao brought him, and it was written very clearly, and it must be intact.
The sailor withdrew his hand, looked Xu Xiaole up and down, and said, "It seems that you really have some skills." Is it really a good wayman? ”
Xu Xiaole said that now is not the time to be modest and polite, so he said confidently: "Yes." But before that, I worked as a regular department, the highest medical officer in Datong Province. With a hint of fear in his eyes, the sailor stepped back slightly. Xu Xiaole continued: "Before going to Datong Mansion, I was in Tai Hospital. Helped the saint and the prince do some trivial things. ”
The sailor took two steps back.
Xu Xiaole said: "To be honest, I still have a partner in Fuzhou. He wanted to sell me for a reward. By now, most of them have already taken their officers and soldiers to the docks. If you kill me, I will die. The sailor's eyes rolled: "It seems that I can only send you back to receive the reward." ”
Xu Xiaole said: "You see, if I go back, I will definitely be sent to Jingshi." In case you really did make a lot of merit, think about how you once bullied me. Can you get better...... Don't be in a hurry to kill me, listen to what I've to say. Xu Xiaole hurriedly stopped the sailor who was about to move, and spoke quickly: "As long as you send me on the big ship, I will give you a handwritten letter." If you go back with my handwritten letter and report my whereabouts, you may get a reward. ”
The sailor was slightly stunned and said, "Really? ”
Xu Xiaole nodded solemnly: "It's true." Anyway, as long as I get on the big ship and go to Leizhou for a thousand miles a day, I'm not afraid that they will chase me! ”
The sailor let go of his knife and shouted twice into the cabin in a dialect that he didn't know where, and the boat turned away and broke into the waves.
