Chapter 1390: Arabian Storm (Sixty-One)

The affair between men and women is one of the most wonderful existential things in the world.

The magic of mutual attraction, no one can say why.

The contact between Zhang Xiao and Farier, no one knows what it will develop.

Moreover, the contact between Zhang Xiao and Falier is also somewhat indescribably valuable in this era.

If Zhang Xiao was also born in this era, it would be very difficult to come to the Arab world from the Americas.

It's like an Indian who came to the Arab world in the early 17th century and had some involvement with an Arab girl.

After all, it is still very difficult to do this according to the means of transportation of people in this era.

The means of transportation in this era are not as diverse and developed as in other worlds.

However, Zhang Xiao himself is not a person of this era after all, he is a genetic person cultivated by Zhao Hongyu's ability to pass the virtual trading period, and then he was transported to this era.

The Song Empire founded by Zhao Hongyu has also developed very rapidly in the Americas, and with the help of virtual traders, it has much stronger means of transportation than this era, which has shortened the 'distance' between the Americas and the continents of the world a lot.

At this point, none of the countries of this era could compare with the Song Empire.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Xiao was able to come to the Arab region and meet the girl Fariyah.

Compared with the throbbing in Zhang Xiao's heart, Fariyah was only curious about Zhang Xiao.

Although Fariyah did not leave the Cuman Desert, nor did she see the world outside the Cuman Desert. But she had heard a lot about the outside world from the merchants who traveled to and from the desert world.

However, most of them are about European countries and North Africa.

Farier is still very new to the Americas.

Because it's strange, it's curious.

Because of curiosity. So it needs to be explored.

Although Farier may look like a tomboy, she is still a girl after all. Her gender makes it impossible for her to change the nature that some girls have...... Curious.

Seriously, Fariyah hadn't really seen anyone with black eyes.

Arab men, although some of them have human eyes, are different from those of Europeans. But their eyes were all brown or faint amber, like black eyes, which she really hadn't seen before.

Even people in North Africa don't have such eyes.

At the same time, the hair that was as dark as day and night also fascinated Fariyer.

Yes, it's fascinating.

It's like if you see more things, you won't be surprised.

But. When something comes out that is very different from what you're used to, you're bound to be fascinated by the difference.

This is a very normal thing, and it has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women.

"Far away, it is impossible to imagine how painful it is to be adrift on the sea for months." At this time, Farier's mind had begun to imagine that he was sailing on an ocean voyage on a sea ship.

The girl fantasized for a moment. I think it's a very painful thing to do.

Zhang Xiao nodded very seriously and responded, "Yes, it is indeed very difficult. His words confirmed Farier's fantasies. The girl looked at Zhang Xiao with a hint of pity in her eyes.

Of course, this is not pretending to be cute, but feeling pity for Zhang Xiao.

In the eyes of Fariyah. Zhang Xiao and they arrived in Egypt in North Africa from the Americas, and they must have suffered a lot along the way.

Zhang Xiao felt the pity in Faliye's eyes, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

But. He wasn't going to explain anything, after all, many things weren't as Farier had imagined.

And Zhang Xiao's so-called hardship is not talking about himself, but about the people who are going to the sea in those countries other than the Song Empire.

However, seeing the pitiful gazes in Faliye's eyes, Zhang Xiao felt that there was something funny, and he couldn't help but feel childlike at the moment.

Well, since you're different, then let's go on as you want.

The reason why Zhang Xiao has such an idea, in addition to not hating Farier, is not because he has a little feeling in his heart that even he doesn't know.

He also wanted to spend a little more time with Fariyah and talk to her more.

It's just that Zhang Xiao doesn't know that if this feeling is deeper, then it is about the kind of love between men and women.

"I live in a desert world, and I'm not so familiar with the ocean. However, when I was a child, accompanied by my father, I also took a boat on the coast of Kusso, but unfortunately I was ......very dizzy after my merchant ship", Farier sincerely felt pity for Zhang Xiao and those who had crossed the sea.

She remembered that when she and her father came to Lamod as a child, they had worked as a boat on the seaside.

It's just that her reaction after taking the boat at that time was really miserable, so she can't forget it now.

At the same time, Farier thinks that probably everyone will have the same reaction as her.

That's why she feels pity for Zhang Xiao and these people.

You know, at the beginning, she was just sitting on a small sailboat, not far from the coast.

And, after getting off the boat, I vomited in the dark and felt uncomfortable for several days.

But Zhang Xiao and they want to go to Cairo, Egypt, but they have to cross a vast ocean to do it, so wouldn't they be even more unlucky than themselves?

I have to say that the seasick girl has a lot of imagination, she thinks that Zhang Xiao and these people will be seasick like herself, and think that they travel farther in the ocean in the boat, so the pain will be more.

For this kind of 'landlubber', Zhang Xiao also felt a little crying and laughing.

If you want to talk about the understanding of the desert, Zhang Xiao is definitely not as good as Fariyah, but if you want to talk about the understanding and cognition of the ocean, then Fariyah can't compare to Zhang Xiao.

In fact, the ocean-going ships of the Song Empire were more than a century ahead of their contemporaries.

Because they were built with technology ahead of their time, the ships of the Song Empire allowed their crews and passengers to go on ocean voyages without the same symptoms as the ships of the era.

Not to mention the ocean-going ships of the Song Empire, which shortened the time to arrive at the port of Ceuta in Europe and North Africa from the Americas to more than twenty days, so even with symptoms of seasickness. But it's not a big deal.

And the cabin structure of the Song Empire is very scientific and reasonable, unlike the European ships, the cabins are crowded and dirty, when people rest in the clean and tidy cabins, there are some uncomfortable feelings under the good mood, and there will be relatively less.

Not to mention that on the ships of the Song Empire, the food was very well prepared, whether it was fresh water, green vegetables or meat, as well as salt.

A terrible voyage like the one that Farier had imagined was absolutely impossible.

The little girl had some knowledge about ocean voyages, which she had heard from the merchants.

These merchants all had experience at sea. So know some of the troubles and troubles in the sea voyage.

Because they are all indigenous humans of this era, the ships they can access are also the same sea ships of this era.

So, what they experienced, and what they remembered, was, of course, that bad experience.

When these people tell Fariyah about their experiences, Fariyah will surely take their words as a golden rule.

The rocking sea boat, the cramped cabin, dozens of big men with their feet shirtless. Stay together in the cabin...... Fariyah felt uncomfortable at the thought of what she had heard.

However, some of the experiences she heard from the merchants about the sea voyage were all true.

Still, that's nothing. There's something even scarier than this.

Turbid and smelly fresh water, already moldy and spoiled food, because of the technology of the times, at this time of the seventeenth century. When people go on ocean voyages, they certainly don't carry too much supplies.

After all, there is more to the ship than just carrying the supplies that everyone needs. It is also necessary to set aside space for the storage of cargo and shells for weapons.

The space where the crew lived, food, fresh water, cargo, shells and weapons.

On an ocean-going vessel, the normal crew is about 80 to 120 people, after all, it is necessary to take into account some casualties during the voyage, so the sailors must be sufficient.

So calculate how much food more than a hundred people need to eat in a day, and then calculate the time of the voyage, and the amount of cargo....... how much supplies can a ship of this era carry.

In one of the above situations, it is normal.

Sometimes, if you encounter a storm or a pirate, you may lose most of your supplies.

Once this happens, everyone from the captain to the sailor will start to go hungry.

It can be seen that although ocean is a very 'rich' profession in this era, there is also a great risk of saving, and there is a 50% chance of losing your life.

This is much more than the safety factor on land.

Therefore, Fariyah thinks that Zhang Xiao also experienced some torture in this inhuman environment at sea before arriving in Cairo. It is precisely for this reason that she feels pity for Zhang Xiao.

Maybe he guessed some years of Faliye, so Zhang Xiao thought it was very funny.

Still, he felt that he should respond to Farier as she wished.

Looking back at the big tent not far away, the people in the area did not notice that he had left, and it was obvious that no one would come to him to disturb his conversation with Fariyah anytime soon.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao is also happy to continue to tease the little girl.

"yes, it was a torture voyage at sea. Even we had a storm and the ship almost broke up......", Zhang Xiao looked at Fariyah exaggeratedly and told the 'story' of his voyage from the Americas to Cairo

The little girl was very interested in the affairs of the sea, and she was completely attracted by Zhang Xiao's exaggerated language and body movements, as well as the 'dangerous' voyage 'story' he told. (To be continued......)
