Life at sea is a very boring day, and when I went from Tohoban to Kyushu, there were islands like the Ryukyu Islands during the period, and I could go ashore to live from time to time, so everyone didn't feel how boring it was.

But this time, Hu Ye asked the fleet to sail directly from Kyushu to Wusongkou, thousands of miles in between, there was no small island, there was just boundless loneliness, and the wind and waves that disturbed from time to time, not even the birds, because there was no foothold nearby at all.

"Liu Guan, as far as you can see, have we deviated from the course?"

Standing on the bow of the ship, Hu Ye called Liu Guan, to be honest, he had never been out so far, especially at sea, and he was a little overwhelmed for more than a month.

According to the original speed, one month is enough time to sail to Wusongkou, but now there is no shadow of the land of Shenzhou, so Hu Ye thinks that they are lost.

Since the sailors had never sailed for such a long time, they did not know how the route was taken.

"Dean, there's nothing wrong with the route, but I don't know why I haven't docked for so long." Liu Guan said with a frown.

Along the way, Liu Guan was recording the sea conditions he passed by, because he knew that Hu Ye would take this voyage in the future, and he would also draw a sea chart after he returned, so he didn't dare to relax at all, and even if there was a reef somewhere, he had to record it.

"The route is right, and the speed has not changed, how can it be that it has not reached Wusongkou yet." Hu Ye frowned, it's been a month, counting the days, his daughter-in-law must have a big belly, he is like an arrow, how can he waste his days on the sea?

"Boy. It can't be a sea monster, right? ”

Zhu Neng came up and said with some concern.

Hu Ye glared at Zhu Neng angrily. It was said before that this cargo was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but now because the ship has not docked. began to be afraid of the unwarranted kraken.

"Uncle Zhu, you better go back to the cabin, even if there is a kraken, can you still eat you?" Hu Ye said casually, and then began to stare ahead, hoping to see the mouth of the Yangtze River, but found nothing.

"I'll just say it, let you go north and go back along North Korea, you have to choose this way. It's good now. ”

Zhu Neng pursed his mouth, and then walked into the cabin.

If Zhu Neng took a step too late, Hu Ye would kick it up.

"Boy, you have the most ideas, do you know what's going on?"

Zhang Dingbian also has some worries, if it is on land, no matter how big the difficulties are, this cargo will not frown, but now at sea. He always felt that there was no bottom in his heart, and the stone in his heart could not fall.

"General, there is not much fresh water on the ship, and it can last for another three days at most."

Nie Yuan also came over. whispered to Hu Ye, for fear that others would hear it, fresh water at sea can be said to be more precious than food. Because people can survive without food and water, but without fresh water. No amount of food is useless.

Hu Ye was even more annoyed when he heard this, when he set off from Kyushu. He only prepared fresh water for a month, because according to his estimates, one month was enough time to sail back from Kyushu, and there was a possibility that it would rain during the period, and he could also receive fresh water.

But what annoyed him was that in September, God didn't rain a drop, and he didn't arrive at Wusongkou as scheduled.

"General, you have to plan for this matter in advance, otherwise it will cause panic." Nie Yuan whispered.

"Do you still need to teach me?"

Hu Ye said coldly, and Nie Yuan retreated.

"The order goes down, and from today onwards, all personnel will have their drinking water halved." Hu Ye ordered, the most important thing now is to save fresh water, as for food, there is a lot in the sea, so there is no need to worry about this.

"Yes, the last general will give the order."

In the following days, Liu Guan found that the course of the fleet had not changed, and it was sailing in the direction of Wusongkou, but he could not see the shadow of Wusongkou.

And there is less and less fresh water on the ship, Hu Ye can only use soil methods to evaporate seawater and collect the evaporated water vapor, but that is just a drop in the bucket, it is not enough for so many people to quote, Hu Ye is the first time to feel that there are many people is also a burden.

"Young master, let's drink saliva."

Lao Qian came over with a bowl of water and whispered to Hu Ye.

Hu Ye took the bowl and didn't drink water, it's not that he wasn't thirsty, but he wasn't so thirsty that he had to drink.

Looking up, Lao Qian's mouth was already dry, and it seemed that he had been drinking water for a long time.

"I'm not thirsty, drink it." Hu Ye handed the bowl to Lao Qian, who seemed to need water more than himself.

"Young master, I'm not thirsty, I just drank it." Old Qian smiled.

"If you don't drink it, I'll take it and pour it." Hu Ye knew that the old man had a hard mouth, so he turned around and was about to pour the water. Seeing this, Lao Qian hurriedly grabbed the bowl, drank it one by one, saw Xiao Qiang next to him and looked at him hungrily, and shared the rest of the water with Xiao Qiang.

"Hey, what the hell is this thief kidding me, it's been forty days, why don't you even have a shadow of me relenting."

Hu Ye sighed and came outside the boat, the sun was shining, and there was no intention of raining at all.

"Young master, isn't your master supernatural? Why don't you ask him to beg for rain for us? Old Qian walked out and licked the droplets on his mouth, not a drop could be wasted.

Hu Ye rolled his eyes, that master was all made up by himself, what kind of magic power is vast, he has many ideas on the shore, and he has his own way for several months of drought. But now at sea, although there is a lot of water, it cannot be drunk directly, only the evaporated water vapor can be drunk, but that point is not enough at all.

Now there is no desalination device, so Hu Ye can only look at the embarrassing situation of water everywhere, but there is no water to drink.

Whew!

Xiao Qiang walked to Hu Ye's side and howled twice.

"Xiaoqiang, bear with me, there is a shortage of water now."

Hu Ye squatted down and rubbed Xiaoqiang's head, Xiaoqiang had drunk less water than his own in the past few days. There must be a lack of water, even if I shared a bowl of water with Lao Qian just now. It's not enough.

Xiao Qiang stretched out his tongue and licked Hu Ye's face, and Hu Ye found that Xiao Qiang's tongue was dry. That's because of the lack of water, and the saliva secreted is not enough.

"This problem must be solved, otherwise there will be a big problem with the fleet before it reaches Wusongkou." Hu Ye stood up, his brows furrowed, he also had some doubts that he had chosen the wrong direction, maybe it would be safer to go to North Korea.

"Fanchangbo, since you have chosen, don't give up, this road is indeed closer. There must be something going on that will take more time. But I believe that God will protect us and let us die at sea. ”

Zheng San came to Hu Ye's side and muttered.

"Oh my God?" Hu Ye shook his head, he never believed that there was a god, if he really existed, why would he let his fleet drift on the sea for so many days, and he didn't see Wu Songkou?

Seeing that Hu Ye didn't believe God, Zheng San said. "There is providence in the dark, since he has made you choose this path, he will definitely arrange difficulties and solutions for you, and let you get something from it."

Hu Ye turned to look at Zheng San. Only then did I remember that this thing was a sesame person when he was a child, and he didn't know whether he had Christianity or Islam in his head, and at this time, he put the hope of survival on God.

"Gonggong Zheng. Do you regret that I didn't listen to your advice in the first place? Hu Ye asked suddenly.

"No, as I just said. This qiē is providential, you told me before. This path was a rehearsal for me, and I didn't know what it meant before, but now I understand that it was a test for me. Zheng San said to Hu Ye very solemnly.

The corners of Hu Ye's mouth twitched, the rehearsal he said was to prepare for this cargo to lead the fleet to South Africa in the future, but he didn't expect this cargo to come to this place.

Whether Hu Yexiang believes it or not, what Zheng San said seems to be more reasonable.

Because as soon as they finished speaking, they saw a dark cloud appear in front of them.

Dark clouds mean there's a lot of moisture there, it means it's likely to rain there, and it means they have fresh water!

"Pass the order, right full rudder! Burn the wind! Hu Ye immediately shouted loudly.

"I'll just say, God won't let us die at sea."

Zheng San's face showed a smile, thinking that it was his piety that moved the heavens, and the dark clouds would fall.

Hu Ye was too lazy to argue with Zheng San, and hurriedly asked everyone to prepare tools to catch the rain, what pots and pans, all took out, and even the helmet was ready, Xiaoqiang was even more excited to jump on the boat, no longer like a wolf, more like a dog.

Although it seemed that the dark clouds were not far from the fleet, the ship was unusually slow, which made Hu Ye very annoyed.

There was no reference before, so naturally I couldn't tell how fast the ship was running, but now that there was a dark cloud, Hu Ye realized that even if the sails were full, the wind was very strong, and the sailing speed of the fleet was very slow.

"Could it be that this is the reason why I haven't arrived at Wusongkou for so many days? But why is it so slow? Why didn't you find out when I went to Kyushu before? ”

Hu Ye held a pot and watched the boat ride the wind and waves, but he was thinking about the reason in his heart.

"Young Master, what are you thinking?" Lao Qian ran over with a smoke, and even took a big iron pot in his hand, and there was ash under the pot, and this goods actually took the pot from the room directly.

"Wait, you run again!"

Hu Ye suddenly stopped the old money and let the old money run again.

Lao Qian was very helpless, Hu Ye told him to run, so he had to run again.

As a result, when Lao Qian ran to Hu Ye's side, Hu Ye suddenly laughed.

"Haha! Ha ha! I understand! I understand! ”

Lao Qian looked at Hu Ye holding a wok in his hand, smiled unscrupulously, and said with a sad face, "Young master, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have drunk your water just now, otherwise you wouldn't have gone crazy." ”

When the rest of the people saw Hu Ye smiling so presumptuously, they all thought that Hu Ye had gone crazy because he saw the hope of Tamsui, but they just took pity on this boss, the huge Wa Kingdom couldn't help him, but was stumped by the little Tamsui. (To be continued......)
