There were 5 people on the deck of the galleon, 3 of them were sailors, 1 was the captain, and one was a passenger.

In the cabin, there were six people, most of them staff, and two were the family members of the passenger on deck.

In addition to the task of fishing on a long voyage, the ship also carried three special passengers.

They wore clothes of expensive materials and well-cut clothes, and judging by the attitude of the sailors towards the family, they were either rich or noble.

At this time, the middle-aged male passenger on the deck was holding on to the railing with his hand, talking to the sailor.

Huang Si listened from afar, and what they were talking about was nothing more than some trivial matters.

During the conversation, I could only know that the ship was rented by this person named Gu Jing.

Gu Jing did not get on the boat alone, but brought two family members, one is his son and the other is his nephew.

"I don't need to eavesdrop, but if I go down openly and ask questions, it will inevitably disturb these people, and it will be inconvenient for me to ask questions."

Huang thought about it and suddenly had an idea.

At this time, on the galleon, there were three people in the Gu family, and only Gu Jing remained on the deck.

"We've been out for two days and there's still a long way to go."

The sea breeze ruffled the corners of his robe, and the salty foam hit him.

Although the hull of the ship shook slightly, Gu Jing stood very steady, and he could see that his martial arts were good.

"This time, with the crystal cylinder provided by Mr. Gu, I think I can go further afield."

The wrinkled, blue-turbaned old sailor said.

"It's just that now that the wind and waves are gradually rising, please be careful with Mr. Gu."

"It's okay, this little wind and waves can't throw me off the boat."

Gu Jing shook his head and continued to stay on the deck.

He held a bamboo tube in his hand and looked into the distance through the crystal lens in the bamboo tube.

He also gave the captain one for this thing.

The waves between the sea and the sky are undulating, and the view is not good, but it can be seen that there is nothing unusual.

At this time, the captain, who had a slight belly and was wearing a lambskin suit, also walked over.

"Mr. Gu, are you still used to living on the boat?"

"Fortunately, I went to sea this time and was ready to endure hardships, but I didn't expect that the food on the ship was quite abundant."

The captain smiled: "Mr. Gu's family is our honored guests. What's more, Mr. Gu also gave us such a good crystal cylinder, which can see in the distance, which makes us much safer. ”

"In the future, I hope Mr. Gu can do more and sell it to us, and I can also introduce it to my colleagues."

Gu nodded and said: "It's good to say, only this time, I hope to be able to sail farther again, the last time I went to sea, I only went back in six days, this time, I want to explore the east again." ”

The captain said: "The fresh water we brought this time is enough for ten days to go back and forth, if we can find a place to replenish, we can support it for a longer time, but the sea is inevitably boring, and Mr. Gu may not be able to find the ...... he is looking for."

Gu Jing smiled bitterly: "I understand what the captain means, after ten days, if you can't find the island or water source, you can just return." ”

The captain spoke a few more words to him, and then left.

Gu Jing looked at the sky, a little cloudy, I don't know what the weather will be like in a few days.

I hope it can be sunny, and if it's sunny, I can see far away, and it's easier to find something.

He's in his forties, and he doesn't know how many years he can live, so he really wants to see the world overseas while he's still alive......

Gu Jing looked into the distance, and his mood fluctuated with the waves.

While he was pondering alone in the bow of the boat, suddenly, there was a low muffled sound from nowhere, and the whole hull shook slightly.

If it was an ordinary person, it might be regarded as the normal shaking of the boat, but Gu Jing, as a master, had more senses than ordinary people, and he quickly noticed this abnormality.

Did the ship hit something?

The galleon had only a few windows in the inner compartments on its flank, far from the water, but other than that, it was very smooth, and if it hit something, it was probably a reef or a large fish, neither of which was a good thing and could cause a wreck.

There were some small boats on the big ship, but if they did wreck, it would be difficult for them to go back.

At this time, there were already sailors shouting from below.

At first it was one person calling, and later it was several.

They shouted: "Hit the boat!" ”

"There's someone on board!"

"Quick! Go down and save people! ”

"Let the captain stabilize the ship! Don't bump into it again! ”

Gu Jing got off the bow of the boat and came to the side to check.

There were two sailors standing here, and a little down, in the window of the cabin, another sailor was looking down.

Follow his gaze and look down.

Sure enough, between the continuous waves, a small brown boat could be faintly seen floating.

One moment it was half exposed, and the next it was obscured by the waves.

The boat was small, and had long since capsized, and it was evident that there was a man beside the boat, who was crambling on the hull of the boat in confusion, barely being swept away by the waves.

Gu Jing had a slight doubt in his heart: "I've been looking at the sea, but was there this boat and this person on the sea just now?" ”

The thought just flashed through his head.

A sailor threw a noose from the window.

The boat was full of old sailors, and the rope loop was thrown and landed on the half-cut boat.

The people on the boat also noticed them, barely stretching their arms, trying to reach the lasso.

Gu Jing and the sailors stared at him intently, for fear that he would not be able to catch him.

The man tried a few times, and finally got the loop.

He didn't seem to have much strength, and it took several times to put the rope around his waist.

On the big ship, the sailors shouted in unison, and dragged the man to the side of the ship, and another sailor, with a rope around his waist, went down and carried him up.

The man didn't look very good, with a lot of scratches on his body, and his fingers were swollen, apparently floating in the sea for a long time.

As soon as he got on board, he shivered, and an old sailor hurriedly wrapped him in a dry sheet.

He thanked him.

At this time, the small boat below collided with the large ship again, shattered into a pile of broken wood, and was submerged in the sea.

"You are really fateful, if you are hit this time, you will go to half your life if you don't die." Said a sailor.

The sailors took him to the cabin.

When Gu Jing saw him again, he was already in the cabin, sitting and drinking with a group of sailors.

The man changed into a sailor's clothes, and someone brought him a bowl of spirits, and he did not hesitate to dry it in one gulp, winning the applause of the sailors around him.

At sea, men, as long as there is wine, there is nothing that cannot be said.

When Gu Jing came over, an old sailor patted the man on the shoulder and introduced to Gu Jing:

"Mr. Gu, this is Brother Huang, he went to sea to fish, and he was far away when he encountered wind and waves."

Another sailor put his arm around his shoulders and said:

"Why are you so careless, fishing is still asleep on the boat, and you don't know how to hide when you see our boat."
