170, in the water
I will get tired of looking at the freshness of the sea for a while, not to mention that these days, Zhou Quan has been standing on the beach and looking at Liandao.
Therefore, he spent more time discussing with Zhang Shun what issues to pay attention to in the future.
Nominally, Zhang Shun was sent to take charge of the shipyard, but in fact, Zhou Quan would send a few array teenagers, who were initially apprentices in the shipyard, but after the first ship was built, they would formulate a strict and standardized production rules based on experience. At that time, Zhang Shun only needs to act in accordance with these regulations.
As for the technical issues, Zhou Quan is not prepared to interfere too much except to draw the appearance of several types of sea ships and propose research directions. After all, without him, the Great Song Dynasty would have to build thousands of big ships a year, and the shipbuilders from Mingzhou only lacked management, not experience and technology.
The two talked so much that they did not notice that above them, a sailor climbed the mast.
The sailor seemed to be busy on the mast, but in fact his eyes kept looking at Zhou Quan, he was waiting for an opportunity. When a wave hits and the whole hull shakes, the opportunity comes!
The sailor kicked the cable on the mast, and the rope with a thick arm fell down and smashed on Zhou Quan, because it was smashed from behind, it just smashed Zhou Quan over, and turned over towards the outside of the boat.
If it weren't for the faint boat, Wu Yang and the others would definitely follow Zhou Quan, and maybe they could protect Zhou Quan, but now in front of Zhou Quan, there was only one Zhang Shun.
Zhou Quan was knocked down, thinking that someone had pushed him from behind, he was shocked and angry, he turned his head in the air, and before he could scream, he had already fallen into the sea!
Zhang Shun also panicked when he saw this scene, and then he suddenly came to his senses, flew up, stepped directly on the railing, flew and jumped, and then fell directly into the sea.
At this time, Wu Yang and the others also reacted, and they hurriedly rushed to the place where Zhou Quan fell into the water.
Li Bao and Wu Yang grabbed the railing and wanted to jump into the water to save people, but they were pulled by Wang Qinian, and then Wang Qinian shouted: "Uncle Zhang has good water nature, you guys are just going down to make trouble...... Feng patrols, stops the ship, rescues, rescues! ”
At this moment, although his face was miserable and bloodless, he was probably the only one among all who remained calm.
At the same time, he looked up suspiciously, and glanced at the sailor on the mast.
Although I didn't see that it was the rope that the sailor had made, the timing of the cable falling was so coincidental that it made people suspicious.
Wu Yang and Li Bao were also shocked, the two glared at the sailors on the boat, they didn't know the nature of the water, and they just added chaos to the water, but the sailors on this boat should know how to water.
Feng Yanshou's face was so pale at this time that there was no blood.
Zhou Quan is not only a Yanei, but also a court official with rank and rank, if he is really drowned here, he will have to be dealt with.
What's more, Zhou Quan was so generous, and he also intended to make friends, so he said sharply: "Save people, save people, quickly throw the floating board down, save people!" ”
The sailors on the ship threw several floating planks into the sea, and several cables were also thrown from mid-air.
However, they were all a little hesitant, and none of them jumped into the water to save people without hesitation like Zhang Shun.
It was already the middle of October, and it was quite cold when it fell into the water, and the sea breeze was blowing strong and the waves were so strong that it might kill you!
"Save my eldest man, and reward 100 yuan!" Wang Qinian shouted.
Everyone looked at each other, a hundred times is indeed a lot, but I am afraid that there will be no life to make.
"Five hundred, if there is an accident due to saving people, give one hundred to your family, which is enough to buy your life!" Wang Qinian shouted again.
He said it harshly, as if the lives of these soldiers were only worth a hundred times.
But in fact, in many cases, these soldiers are not even worth a hundred times!
The reward of five hundred times was promised, and at last, from the top of the mast, a figure jumped down.
"Beard, be careful!" Someone shouted.
A trace of doubt flashed in Wang Qinian's heart, the sailor who jumped into the water, he had always suspected that Zhou Quan's distress was intentional by this person, but now he was the only sailor who jumped into the water to save people......
His expression changed slightly, Wang Qinian has always been stingy to speculate on other people's hearts with the most dangerous ideas, so he shouted again: "Is he the only one, this is five hundred!" ”
So two more brave sailors jumped into the sea, and as for the rest, no matter how much Wang Qinian promised a heavy reward, he was only willing to put down the boat and jump into the boat to help.
Wang Qinian couldn't urge, so he could only lie on the railing and look nervously into the water.
Their small group is composed of the father and son of the Zhou family as the core, but although Zhou's father is important, Zhou Quan is even more important.
When he lay on the railing, Wang Qinian's heart was full of remorse, he should have stopped Da Lang no matter what, and didn't let him get on the boat.
At this time, in the seawater, Zhou Quan was struggling as hard as he could.
Looking at his appearance, he sinks and floats, and he doesn't seem to know the slightest amount of water. When Zhang Shun jumped into the sea, he was already a little far away because of the movement of the ship, and even farther away when the sailor nicknamed the bearded man on the mast also entered the water.
Although Zhang Shun is good at water, but it is in the river, and the sea water is different, after entering the water, he habitually takes a mouthful of water in his mouth, and the bitter taste makes him vomit out immediately.
A disgusting feeling rolled in his chest, Zhang Shun first adapted to the water for a while, and then swam towards Zhou Quan, who was sinking and floating.
He didn't swim slowly, but at this time, the tide was low, so although he tried his best, the distance from Zhou Quan was not much closer.
"Hold on, hold on, hold your breath, take a small breath!" He yelled as he swam.
I don't know if Zhou Quan heard it, but I only saw him struggling in the water, sinking to the bottom of the waves for a while, and coming out again for a while.
Finally, he finally arrived at Zhou Quan's side, and at this time, the sailor nicknamed the beard had also arrived, his water nature was not under Zhang Shun, and he was more familiar with the sea than Zhang Shun, so he could come in time.
When the two of them arrived at Zhou Quan's side, Zhou Quan happened to sink into the sea, and they both held their breath and dived into the water, wanting to find Zhou Quan in the water.
But at this moment, Zhang Shun felt that his feet were tight, as if he was caught by something.
At first, he thought that Zhou Quan had caught him, and he was still a little happy in his heart. With his water nature, even if he is grabbed by someone, he has the ability to surface the sea. But when he hooked his body to catch that hand, he vaguely realized that it was not Zhou Quan who was holding him, but the sailor's beard!
In the seawater, with his eyes open and a twisted and hideous look on his face, Zhang Shun gave him a hand gesture, but Beard pulled him to the bottom of the water with force, and even reached out to try to control his joints.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Shun immediately understood that this beard did not recognize him by mistake, but came to stop him from saving people!
Zhou Quan is not water-sensitive, as long as he can be restrained and made to drown, then Zhou Quan will also die!
Zhang Shun's heart was awe-inspiring, and he kicked the beard with his backfoot, but the power of this kick in the water was limited, although the kick was hit, but the beard only spit out a series of bubbles, but he still continued to drag Zhang Shun into the water.
The two of them were entangled underwater, and in the eyes of the people on the boat, they both disappeared from the water, and they did not surface for a while.
Immediately after that, two other sailors rushed to the spot where they had sunk into the sea, and they also dived into the water.
Zhang Shun's kung fu is stronger than that beard after all, so he found an opportunity to give the beard a heavy punch to the ribs, and the opponent let go, Zhang Shun took the opportunity to get rid of it, and was about to surface to scream, when suddenly there was a strong force under his feet, and he was pulled into the water again.
Looking around in the water, it turned out that three people came to besiege him!
The three sailors who were "tempted" by the heavy reward turned out to be thieves and came to ask for his life!
Zhang Shun's heart was racing, and he understood that the other party's real target was only Zhou Quan, and now that he was in a crisis, he was afraid that Zhou Quan was involved. But he has no remorse in his heart, after all, although he saved Zhou Quan, Zhou Quan also saved him, and he lived for thirty years, and only Zhou Quan appreciates his talent, and does not regard it as a servant, on the contrary, he has invited him thousands of miles to entrust him with a heavy responsibility!
"Three dog thieves...... Then let's try it and see if Lao Tzu's cross-river dragon is more watery, or if your three sea loaches are more powerful! ”
He had the idea of competitiveness in his heart, but it was immediately awe-inspiring that his main purpose was not to fight with these three people, but to pick up Zhou Quan as soon as possible and save Zhou Quan's life.
Thinking of this, Zhang Shun suddenly got rid of the other party and began to dive towards the water.
Surrounded by three enemies above, he had no choice but to dive deeper into the water if he wanted to escape.
As he dived, he unbuttoned his clothes, then snapped them like a carp turning over, turned his head back, and put his clothes over the head of the opponent who was chasing him the most.
Not only covered the other party's head, Zhang Shun turned over again, carried the other party behind him, and with the help of the power of his back, he suddenly buckled.
The water-soaked clothes were firmer than the hemp rope, and he dragged the other party's neck so hard that even in the water, Zhang Shun heard the sound of broken bones.
He let go of his hand, and the sailor's feet twitched, and he kept spitting bubbles, sinking deeper into the water, and a trace of blood floated.
Zhang Shun was holding his breath at this time to the limit, he swung his legs and kicked the water, wanting to run out diagonally, so that he could breathe fresh air, but the other party's water nature was not weak, but his skills were slightly worse than him, at this time, he seized the opportunity, one left and one right, clamped him, and dragged him deep in the water.
Zhang Shun struggled, but he couldn't break free, after all, the continuous fierce fight had consumed a lot of his physical strength.
"Oops, today I want to be buried in the hands of these little people, it's a pity that Zhou Dalang, he has great ambitions and skills......"
Zhang Shun secretly exclaimed in his heart, he was not afraid of death, otherwise he would not dare to aspire to lead the fleet to sail, but such a meaningless death made his heart full of chagrin.
At this moment, there was a sound of water in his ears, and then, he, and the two sailors, had a look of surprise in their eyes!
