The sea breeze blows across the boat, urging the sails to bring a fresh, damp and salty smell, and the old sailboat moves slowly forward with slight undulations in the waves, but because the sea breeze is not strong, and it is a bit headwind, the boat can only use the side sail to gain some power and keep the direction of progress, so that the speed of the boat is very slow, almost making people feel as if the ship is not moving forward at all.

A dolphin jumped up on the surface of the sea in the distance, and then plunged into the water, stirring up a snow-white wave, and some waterfowl hovered above the boat, rushing to the stern of the boat from time to time, picking up a small fish and then rising quickly, making the sea appear to be full of life.

There was also a sailboat in the distance and Yu Xiaotian's boat staggered, driven by the sea breeze, heading north at a faster speed, the two boats even greeted each other at close range just now, obviously the people on that boat and the owner of Liu may have known each other.

Originally, on the lonely sea, it was a good thing to meet a boat, and the two sides said hello to each other peacefully, but after Yu Xiaotian saw the boat, he fell into petrification, showed a sad look, and sat at the bow of the boat.

He was holding a large coarse porcelain bowl, and inside the bowl was a bowl of black rice made of something that I couldn't tell what it was, and the smell of rice was basically absent, but there was a rancid taste like pig food, which made Yu Xiaotian a little disgusted.

But he was not sad about the quality of the bowl of rice, but because of the sailboat that had just crossed them! At this time, his heart was cold, and he completely sank to the bottom.

There is no other reason, just because the sailboat is similar to the shape of the boat he is in, and it is also a two-masted wooden fishing boat, all of which completely broke the only little luck in Yu Xiaotian's heart, and the facts told him that he had indeed crossed!

Yu Xiaotian had a feeling of wanting to scold his mother, I don't know if he was too lucky or too bad! Even this kind of ghost thing can be encountered, and it is estimated that the odds of winning the Mark Six lottery are lower, and it actually fell on his head.

He was just following his uncle on his first trip to sea, and he was caught by the big hand of fate, and he threw him hundreds of years ago, and he still hasn't figured out how it happened, in short, it was related to the strange fog.

And through the life on the ship in the past two days, from the mouths of these boatmen, Yu Xiaotian roughly figured out the dynasty he was in, and this dynasty was the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse! But because these boatmen are vague, he can only judge that it is probably in the early years of the Apocalypse, and the specific number of years of the Apocalypse, so far he has not figured it out.

Yu Xiaotian held a large porcelain bowl, sat on the head of the boat and was stunned for a while, at the beginning, his mind was a mess, a little confused, but fortunately, he is not the kind of person who complains at every turn, when he completely understands the current situation, he still quickly recovered from the chaos.

In fact, although Yu Xiaotian is not very old, he has suffered many setbacks, probably because his natural personality is more open, Yu Xiaotian rarely drills the tip of the horns, and often can quickly step out of the low tide, this time is no exception.

Anyway, there is no regret medicine to take in this world, and it is useless to sit there and regret it, Yu Xiaotian took a deep breath and secretly scolded in his heart: Damn the ball is facing up, and it will be the New Year if you don't die! If you come, you will be safe, with Lao Tzu's ability, you don't believe that you can't live!

After scolding this sentence in his heart, Yu Xiaotian's mood improved a lot, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Since Lao Tzu was chosen by this thief and thrown into this era, and has not been drowned on the spot, then I can't guarantee that Lao Tzu will be able to do something earth-shattering in the future!

Thinking of this, he picked up the big bowl, brought it to his mouth, and no matter how the rice tasted, he held his breath and began to pull it into his mouth.

Liu Chuandong is a miser, after going to sea, the food for the boatmen on the ship is very bad, the rice is brown rice, but in order to save rice, the cook on the ship added a lot of dried potato shreds, fresh vegetables and meat must not be there, just add some pickles to the rice, a little salty, at most add some dried sea vegetables to the rice, the taste is not delicious.

The people on the ship are also divided into ranks, as the owner of the ship will definitely not eat such a meal, Liu Shipowner himself eats specially made white rice, and there are special side dishes, the people below from the helmsman to the handman and even the upper bucket and the piercing, depending on its importance on the ship, the meal is also different, such an important member as the helmsman, the potato shredded rice will occasionally add a piece of salted fish or salted meat, and the low-status people can only eat the potato shredded rice without meat.

And Yu Xiaotian is temporarily regarded as the lowest status person on the ship, his position on the ship is a miscellaneous servant, that is, he does everything, and he does all the miscellaneous work, so he can only eat the worst shredded potato rice for his subordinates for the time being.

Although Yu Xiaotian felt disgusted when he looked at this bowl of rice, he did not stop eating this thing because of this, and in the few days after falling into the water at sea, his body consumed a lot of physical energy, but he was not able to get any nutritional supplements, resulting in him being severely dehydrated and very weak when he was rescued.

So now Yu Xiaotian knows very well that if he wants to live in this era, physical health is the most basic condition, so he doesn't care about the taste of the food on the boat, as long as he eats, he eats as much as possible and strives to consume more nutrients, so in the past two days, under his heavy eating, the originally very weak body began to recover quickly, so that the people on the ship laughed and scolded him for being a dumb foodie because he ate too much!

Yu Xiaotian was too lazy to worry so much about those boatmen for the time being, just eat when he had food, and do work when he had work, so when the owner of the Liu boat saw him eat, he was quite painful, but when he regained his strength, he began to help work on the ship, but he was quite comforted!

Don't look at Yu Xiaotian's figure when he was in the old time and space, his stature was not very tall, at most he was just an ordinary person, but most of the ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty were very low because of their diet structure, so Yu Xiaotian was a big man in this era.

In addition, in the era in which Yu Xiaotian lived, the nutritional structure of food was already quite good, plus Yu Xiaotian had practiced martial arts since he was a child, so his physical fitness was very good, and he was also very strong, and his strength was much greater than that of these boatmen on the ship.

And what surprised Yu Xiaotian secretly today was that he found that after two days of recuperation, his physical strength was not only recovered, but also seemed to have become stronger than before, some very heavy things on the ship, he originally estimated that it would take a lot of effort to move, but today he found that it was not too difficult to move it when he really started to move, which made him a little surprised.

He originally wanted to move his skills to see if the strength and speed of his fists and kicks could also be improved, but considering that the people on the ship did not trust him at the moment, he had already said that he would not punch and kick, and once he used his fists and kicks, it would definitely cause the people on the ship to misunderstand that he was a pirate villain, and if they didn't make a collective decision to throw him into the sea, it would be a big deal!

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian could only give up this idea, and when he was working on the ship, he deliberately hid part of his strength, pretending to be very hard, so that he was not more vigilant by the people on the ship.

Yu Xiaotian finished eating, packed up the dishes and chopsticks and sent them to the stern, the people on the boat called him a dumb foodie, he also pretended to be deaf, and after these guys were farting and threw the bowl to the cook, he turned back to the bow of the boat and helped clean up the cables stacked at the bow.

Through the observation after getting on the boat in the past two days, he gradually understood what the boat and these people do.

Originally, after taking a cursory look at the boat, he thought that the boat was probably a coastal fishing boat, and these people on the boat were fishermen, but he soon found that the boat looked like a fishing boat on the surface, and there were fishing nets stacked on the boat, but the people on the boat did not seem to have any interest in fishing, even if they saw a school of fish on the side of the boat, they all turned a blind eye, and continued to sail in the direction of the south, and they also dodged along the way, trying to avoid the coastline along the way, and keep it on the edge of the coastline.

Later, Yu Xiaotian observed and listened to the conversations of the people on the boat, and learned that this boat was not a fishing boat at all, but a smuggling business under the guise of a fishing boat! After knowing these things, Yu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile a little, it turned out that these people were actually his peers in the future!

Although Yu Xiaotian is from a science background, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything about history, when he was in junior high and high school, there were history classes in school, Yu Xiaotian learned some things through these history textbooks, and he was like many men, he was also more interested in historical and military affairs, and when he was not busy, he also wandered around the Internet to read some historical novels or historical and military things.

Therefore, he also knows a little about the history of the Ming Dynasty, with his understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty was relatively strong in the early days, but after the middle period, it began to decline rapidly.

He doesn't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid he knows the most about some things in the late Ming Dynasty, and he also knows some of the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards the sea.

But after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the situation has changed greatly, after Zhu Chongba ascended the throne and came to power, it may be because he is a peasant, too ignorant of the sea, or it may be because of other reasons, in short, Zhu Yuanzhang is not interested in navigation, and the coastal areas are often disturbed by the troubles, so Comrade Zhu Chongba simply ordered that the sails should not enter the sea, and this will be inherited as an ancestral teaching.

Although during the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di actually sent Zheng He to the South Seas seven times for unknown reasons, creating the largest ancient voyage record in Chinese history, but after Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty again banned the sea, and as a result, China's advanced navigation and shipbuilding skills were stifled, so that the achievements of the Chinese on the sea were quickly surpassed by some newly rising countries in the West, so that by the time of the Wanli period, whether it was the Portuguese or the Spaniards, and even the Dutch and the British, etc., all sailed their warships to the coast of China.

However, the Ming Dynasty and even the government did not wake up to this, and turned a deaf ear to the era of geographical discoveries that was taking place in the world, and still implemented the policy of closing the country, even in the later Longqing period, the imperial court relaxed some of the sea bans a little, but it did not completely change the sea closure policy.

After that, the Manchu Tartars entered the customs and adopted a more severe sea closure policy, so the two dynasties worked together to completely strangle China's navigation industry.

Therefore, in this era, although the problem of the Japanese is not very serious, the Ming Dynasty did not completely lift the sea ban, so it also caused many merchants along the coast, for the sake of high maritime trade profits, to take risks and risk being caught, load the goods on land, and go to sea to traffic overseas.

Obviously, this Liu shipowner was one of them, and he used the boats he owned to go to sea under the guise of fishing boats, and the boatmen on board were partly his domestic servants, and partly he hired employees to do things for him.

However, Yu Xiaotian's current identity is more special, he is neither a domestic slave nor a hired man, he is just a supernumerary boatman, to put it mildly, this boat is doing chores!

(Today's New Year's Day is the beginning of the year, and for everyone, it will also be a new beginning. Good luck! Because there was something in the afternoon, now update two chapters at a time! I hope my friends will stand up resolutely! Please! ）
