Mentality determines everything, this sentence is very reasonable, after Yu Xiaotian figured out the current situation, he was just stunned for a while, after all, when he woke up, he was already quite psychologically prepared, so when he completely figured out his situation, Yu Xiaotian was not bothered much by this, but began to actively plan for the next step.

Yu Xiaotian has a natural optimistic spirit, and can even be said to have a bit of Ah Q spirit, such a situation did not knock him down, but made him cheer up again.

Didn't you just travel to the end of the Ming Dynasty and the Apocalypse? No big deal! If a person in this era can live, is it possible that a person like him, who has hundreds of years of advanced knowledge in later generations, and is in good health and in good health, will not be able to live? When no one paid attention to him, this guy actually raised his middle finger to the sky and secretly greeted God.

On this ship, Yu Xiaotian's temporary life is definitely not comfortable, although the owner surnamed Liu left him, it does not mean that he completely trusts him, including some people on the ship, who also have a distrustful attitude towards him.

So in the past two or three days, Shipowner Liu has arranged for people to keep an eye on Yu Xiaotian, and Yu Xiaotian is not allowed to enter the cabin easily, even at night, as long as it does not rain, Yu Xiaotian can only find a place to sleep on the deck.

As for the heavy work and even dirty work on the ship, the boatmen on the ship like to shout at Yu Xiaotian to help out, and even Li Zhenzi, who cooks on the boat, always wants to play tricks on Yu Xiaotian.

But these things did not bother Yu Xiaotian much, for him, a stranger for a group, it is normal to be somewhat resisted by the group, as long as time passes, he believes that he can be accepted by these people, the days cannot always be like this, he will always have a bright future.

As for not letting him go to the cabin to sleep, it is also in line with Yu Xiaotian's mind, through two or three days of observation, he found that the owner of the Liu ship and the boatman on the ship obviously do not pay attention to the hygiene of the ship, in fact, the boat is not as dilapidated as he initially felt, but no one takes care of it on weekdays, so the inside and outside of the ship looks dirty, which makes the boat much older than its actual age, and it is precisely because no one pays attention to the health of the ship, so that the ship is full of garbage and dirt, and the cabin is full of fleas and mosquitoes. From time to time, rats are infested, and there is a stinky smell everywhere.

Yu Xiaotian couldn't stand this environment at all, he couldn't figure it out, how could these people endure such an environment when they traveled on the sea for a long time, not to mention whether it was comfortable or uncomfortable, such an environment alone could easily cause diseases, and these people lived in this environment, and they could still be alive, which was difficult for them!

When Yu Xiaotian was idle, he even imagined that if this boat was him, the first thing he would definitely do was to order all the boatmen to clean the whole boat, completely clean the boat, and also clean the bottom of the hull to eradicate the barnacles, oysters, sea rainbows and other messy things attached to the hull.

This is like a few words, at least it can not only ensure the health of the people on board, but also effectively increase the speed of the ship, but at this time Yu Xiaotian is not interested in doing this, after all, this boat is not his, God knows how long he can mix on this boat, and as soon as he doesn't get ashore, he will slip away, so love it!

Don't let him sleep in the cabin, he is just happy and clean, the air on the deck is fresh, there are not many mosquitoes and fleas and other small things to harass, and at night he doesn't have to listen to the sound of snoring and farting in the cabin, smell the stench in the cabin, and quietly watch the sky full of stars, and use this time to think more about his next way out.

Therefore, he did not have much opinion on the injustice he received, nor did he think too much about the boatmen, but focused his energy on this boat for the time being.

Although the boat ostensibly resembles a fishing boat, it has undergone a certain degree of modification, and the cabin on board has been enlarged to allow the ship to carry more cargo.

Through observation, Yu Xiaotian found that the ship did not look like a standard Fuchuan ship or a standard Canton ship, but rather a bit like the shape of an ancient sailing ship called a bird boat that he had once seen.

The bow of this ship is sharpened, in the shape of a bird's beak, the length of the ship is about twenty meters, the width of the ship is four or five meters, the displacement of the ship of this size is about dozens of tons at most, there are two masts on the ship, one mainmast is in the middle of the ship, the other mast is in the front of the ship, there is a low stern in the stern of the ship, which is the position of the helmsman to operate the rudder, and it is also the cabin where the owner rests, and the crew rests in the cabin.

Because of the material or design, most of the sea ships in ancient China and even in ancient times were relatively large and short and fat, so even if the ship was full of sails downwind, the speed could not go anywhere.

For Yu Xiaotian, who has been on the freighter for a few days, the sailing speed of this ship is really a bit of a collapse, plus this time is in the summer, the wind direction is mostly southeasterly, the ship is sailing south, in a state of headwind, in order to obtain the wind drive, the ship has to constantly adjust the course, and take a zigzag route at sea, which slows down the speed of sailing.

After two or three days, although Yu Xiaotian did not know the route of the voyage, he also estimated that the distance that the ship actually walked out was not too far.

However, although the Chinese sailing ship has such shortcomings, the hard sail of the Chinese sailing ship has commendable benefits, that is, the Chinese hard sail can make better use of the wind direction and wind power than the Western-style soft sail, and the sail of the same area will be more efficient in the use of the wind, and the most important thing is that the Chinese sailing ship adopts a hard sail, which effectively reduces the number of personnel operating the sail and can reduce the labor cost of the ship.

The reason why Yu Xiaotian understands these things is because he was a boat model lover in the old time and space, and he liked to make ship models when he was a teenager, and his interests are also very unique.

It's just because of the limited conditions, in the old time and space where he is located, the sailing ships along the coast of China have basically become extinct, even if there are still some sailing ships, it is difficult to get in touch, let alone take this ancient sailing ship in person, if there is still this kind of ancient sailing ship in the old time and space, it is estimated that it has long been collected as an antique, and it must be difficult to actually contact such an ancient sailing ship.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian's previous skills in the operation of sailing ships only stayed on the model, and he did not know how to operate such a sailing ship at all.

Now that God has thrown him into this time and space, and he happened to be caught on this boat again, he Yu Xiaotian naturally will not give up such a great opportunity, so when his body recovered a little, he began to get up and turn around the boat, looking around, and personally reaching out to help the boatmen do some work, and take the opportunity to familiarize himself with and learn how to operate such a sailboat.

It's a pity that he is still pretending to be dumb at this time, and he can't ask questions, so he can't learn much at the moment, so he can only give the boatmen a hand, help a little, and do some chores.

However, Yu Xiaotian's performance of running around on the ship fell in the eyes of the other people on the ship, but he became this mute who was very diligent, not a lazy man, and he didn't know how to operate a ship at all, so the people on the ship gradually dispelled his doubts, pirates don't know how to operate a ship, that's a joke, a clear-eyed person looked at Yu Xiaotian and knew that he hadn't touched the ship at all, saying that he was a pirate, and few people would really believe it anymore.

So gradually, the people on the boat relaxed their vigilance against Xiaotian and were no longer so hostile to him, which made Yu Xiaotian's life a little better.

It's just that his status is still very low, and the people on the ship see that he is tall and big, and he seems to have a lot of strength, so they like to yell at him, instruct him to do this and that, and after his body recovers, the clumsy work is basically handed over to him to be responsible.

Although the people on the ship gradually gave up their hostility towards Xiaotian, few people on the ship were kind-hearted, because Yu Xiaotian was a mute, and he was a little stupid, and he was very curious about everything.

Therefore, when many people on the boat were full of food and had nothing to do, they tried to make fun of Yu Xiaotian, and took pleasure in it, and the worst of them was that Ma Biao was the most excessive.

After getting acquainted, Yu Xiaotian gradually figured out the division of labor and identity of the personnel on board, this boat brought Liu Shipowner, a total of more than a dozen people, including two helmsmen, who are responsible for steering, six guards, who are responsible for operating the sails, and two anchors, among which Li Zhizi also cooks part-time, and the other anchor cooperates with a fighter, mainly responsible for climbing the mast without anything to do and conduct observation and observation.

In addition to these people, there are four other people on the ship who have nothing to do, but their work is also very important, because they are all specially hired by the shipowner to protect the ship's full-time bodyguards, responsible for protecting the ship's safety at sea.

At the beginning, Yu Xiaotian was fished up, and the reason why he was misunderstood as a pirate shows that the risk of sailing at sea in this era is very high, and pirates must have appeared at sea for a long time, so there will be this kind of full-time escort on the ship to protect the safety of the ship.

Ma Biao is the head of the four escorts, this guy has a rough personality, short stature, strong muscles, obviously has some fists and feet, relying on his skills, and he is the bow of the escort invited by the shipowner, so he is very arrogant on the ship.

And this guy has a bad heart, maybe because Yu Xiaotian was born with a good figure, probably because he feels a little inferior, although everyone has basically decided that Yu Xiaotian should not be a pirate remnant, but this guy still always likes to find trouble with Yu Xiaotian.

He relied on his fists and kicks, and after Yu Xiaotian's body recovered, he insisted that Yu Xiaotian was a practitioner on the grounds that Yu Xiaotian had calluses on the bone joints on his hands, and forced Yu Xiaotian to play tricks with him several times, claiming that he wanted to make him appear in his original form, and he had to compete with Yu Xiaotian in front of everyone on the boat to see whether he was Ma Biao or Yu Xiaotian, a "dumb" man.

If this is put on Yu Xiaotian in the past, with Yu Xiaotian's temper, he will definitely not let go of the opportunity to teach this guy a lesson, but considering his current situation, Yu Xiaotian can only tolerate it several times, and wants to calm things down, which makes Ma Biao even more arrogant, and repeatedly forces Yu Xiaotian to fight with him.

Yu Xiaotian looked at the arrogant Ma Biao pressing step by step, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: Is it tolerable Uncle is unbearable, Uncle is unbearable and Aunt is unbearable! The surname Ma is too fucking arrogant, Lao Tzu is not powerful, you are really a sick cat when you are Lao Tzu? If you don't know the power of Lao Tzu today, you don't know which leg you should take first!

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Xiaotian secretly made up his mind to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, so he accompanied a smiling face, hugged Ma Biao in the same way, and then raised his legs and walked to an open place in the middle of the boat.

The boatmen who were idle and full of food and had nothing to do immediately heard that the dumb man was fighting, so they all immediately rushed towards the middle of the boat with the intention of watching a good show, and even the Liu shipowner also followed everyone around, and looked towards Ma Biao and Yu Xiaotian after standing still.
