The Shen family sent two merchant ships to the sea, a smaller one in front to explore the way, and a big ship in the back took Jing'er and her group, Jing'er's personnel on this trip were simple, with fewer clothes and utensils, enough food and medicinal materials, brought a doctor and a doctor, and the nurse brought one, her eldest maid only brought lotus seeds and Chulu, these people took care of her and her daughter's daily life, and the rest was that Bai Shui brought a team of people to escort her to sea.

Xinhe took Nuomi back to Beijing, after all, her itinerary on the surface was to go back to Beijing for help, Nuomi was her number one henchman, how could she not show up, of course, Nuomi was a little naïve, and she would be seasick, Jing'er didn't take her to sea, Baishui was also glad that she didn't go to sea, this trip was dangerous, and it was better for Nuomi to return to Beijing.

The night was calm, the sun rose early on the sea, the sky was white, Jing'er had a night of dreams, woke up early in the morning, set up the window to see the white mangs in the sky, the early sea breeze was cool with water mist, mixed with a little salty smell of seawater, blowing away a little tiredness. On the calm blue sea, there are schools of big fish playing in the water, one by one like a skilled dancer performing, the seabirds skim the water, light and fast, and then take a small fish and shrimp out.

Jing'er smiled slightly, this is the seascape that Jiang Ji described to her many times, she has been in Quanzhou for so long, she used to be in poor health to raise, and then she was pregnant again, until now Chaoyang is one and a half years old, she has no time to go out. Now that she has finally come to the sea, she has seen the seascape that she has been thinking about, but there is one less person, and she hopes that the person will stand by her side on the way back, holding her daughter in one hand and holding her in the other, standing at the bow of the boat to watch the sunset Jinhui spread over the blue sea, and the sea breeze is cool and rolls the fish and shrimp all over the boat, and sprinkles a handful on the deck, which can attract many seabirds to peck at her, and the crazy girl Chaoyang, must have struggled to get down to the ground and play with the seabirds.

Jing'er smiled slightly, heard her daughter's muttering, her thoughts were called back, and she hurriedly closed the window, afraid that the sea breeze would cool her daughter, she should be glad that Chaoyang was a sturdy child, and not only did she not feel the slightest discomfort after floating on the boat for two days, but she was in good spirits, and saw Tian'er running to the deck, wanting to swim in the sea to catch fish, Jing'er watched very closely, and did not dare to let her leave her for a moment, so that people surrounded the fence on the deck into a solid plank, and she was afraid that she would get out.

After breakfast, Jing'er took her daughter to the bow of the boat to see the fish, Shen Yu was standing and talking to the helmsman, and when she saw her come over to say hello, Jing'er asked them how far they had gone, how far away they were from the Qianji Islands, Shen Yu said that they had only walked out of a hundred miles, and the merchant ships were not fast, and there were still seven or eight days away from the Qianji Islands, and the county lord had to be wronged in these days.

Jing'er didn't matter, she knew that the sailing environment was difficult, she was also fully prepared, abandoned those gorgeous clothes and accessories, and brought the clothes and pants, and her hair was tied on the top of her head like a man.

The biggest problem of sailing at sea is the shortage of fresh water, the ship will reserve fresh water, only for food and drink, bathing is from the sea to draw water, wash people all over the fishy smell, but also itch rash, Shen Yu is also soaked in the sea boat, before the rough skin and thick meat to adapt well, and then moved to Jinling Gentle Township for a few years of comfortable life, raised the face like a crown jade Feng handsome, rough air is nothing, now on the boat is still a little uncomfortable, yesterday with sea water bath, did not sleep well all night, itchy scratching ears and scratching cheeks, When Jing'er saw him today, she found some scratches on his neck.

Jing'er is not much better, she can't stand bathing with seawater, but she also has a bad conscience when she is asked to bathe with fresh water for people to eat and drink, she didn't take a bath yesterday, only washed her face and hands with a basin of water, wiped her body again, and finally washed her feet. It is enough to use such a basin of water to clean her whole body, she has never been so aggrieved in her life, and when she finds Jiang Ji, she must let Jiang Ji serve the cleansing.

This is also the reason why Jing'er didn't bring many servants and maids, which of these maids around her is not a pamper, and how can she stand such an environment, she can't just enjoy herself and her daughter, regardless of the life and death of others.

The merchant ship traveled for two more days, Shen Yu and they found that a large number of fish and shrimp corpses appeared in the sea, the sea water became turbid, and even the sea breeze was not cooler and saltier than before, but with the smell of rotting animal corpses.

Jing'er was uneasy, Shen Yu comforted her a few words, saying that they were just small fish and shrimp, these lives were already fragile, and they would be killed by the fishermen with a torpedo, not to mention the artillery fire they attacked the island.

But then a mountain of large fish corpses floated up made Jing'er panic, if even such a big fish died, would the battle be fierce? That Jiang Ji ......

Shen Yu didn't speak again, thinking about the crisis of this trip in his heart, I'm afraid the situation is worse than he imagined, I don't know what the fight is like over there, according to the power of this war, whether Jiang Ji is the attacker or the defender, it will be affected, and now it's hard to say whether the limbs are still healthy.

Getting closer to the Thousand Machines Islands, there are more and more corpses of large creatures in the sea, and there are even some tables, chairs, and clothing wreckage floating in the sea. Shen Yu couldn't bear to tell her, she didn't see that the remains of people were either eaten by something in the sea, or pressed into the sea by seaweed or heavy objects and couldn't float, or they floated, and the corpse was swollen and rotten after being soaked for many days, could she still recognize it? She may be able to identify it by her clothes, but if she does see something familiar, it must have hit her hard.

The ship came to the vicinity of the Qianji Islands, and the ship fell into a panic and restlessness, Jing'er listened to what they were talking about, and was very suspicious in her heart, and asked what happened, Shen Yu looked frightened, and said to her: "The Qianji Islands were originally in this place, and the location where we are floating now, no matter how you look at it, you can see this island group, but now they are gone." ”

Jing'er's heart trembled, "What do you mean it's gone?" Flooded? Or did Ah Ji send people to destroy these islands? If these islands are destroyed, what about Ah Ji? They won the battle, why haven't they come back yet, you ...... Are you in the wrong place? Is this really the Thousand Machine Islands? Or is there another shipping route? Ah Ji, will they take another channel to return and stagger with us? ”

Jing'er's voice was already trembling when she said that, she didn't understand military affairs, nor did she understand naval warfare, she only knew that she wanted to find Jiang Ji, she didn't care if he won the battle, as long as he came back safely, how could it be like this?

Ah Ji, where are you?
