Chapter 168: Set Sail

What Wang Hao has to do now is very important - he is going to take a bath.

As soon as he entered this world, he fell into the sea water and soaked for a long time, and then drifted on the sea for three days and three nights.

When I first came ashore, I was in a hurry to find a way to escape from the desert island, and then I heard gunshots and rushed to the island, and then I started to save people, but I completely ignored this.

But now that the matter is settled, once I relax, I suddenly feel uncomfortable in my body, and the skin all over my body is tight and sticky.

Moreover, after the clothes have been soaked in seawater and dried by the sun, they have begun to smell, so they need to find a place to wash them quickly.

When he just came over, Wang Hao noticed that there was a waterhole in the direction he came from, and now he can go there to solve it.

The water in the pool is crystal clear, and even in the hot climate of the Caribbean islands, the water is still cold, which brings Wang Hao a rare coolness.

After taking a shower, Wang Hao was naked, wearing only a pair of shorts and bare feet. I rinsed my clothes, pants, shoes and socks with clean water, put them on my hands, and walked back to the beach.

Wang Hao's behavior, the other sailors didn't have any idea when they looked at it, after all, they were mixed at sea all the year round, and it was common to be naked, not to mention that Wang Hao was still wearing pants.

It was Bonnet, who circled around Wang Hao twice, and Wang Hao had the urge to hit someone. Then he said, "Ah, it seems that today is my lucky day...... I have to admit that I feel much better about you now. At first I thought you were a pirate or a criminal trying to get away with it, but now I'm much more relieved. ”

Wang Hao asked puzzledly: "Why do you say that?" ”

"Because you don't have strange tattoos on you, and you don't have the brand of a criminal!" "Wicked tattoos are standard for pirates, and the imprint on the body is proof of the guilt of the criminals," Bonnet said. And the king and you have neither, at least prove that you are not them, so that I can rest assured. ”

After a pause, Bonnet said suspiciously: "It's just that Wang, your body and your skin are too good!" It's not at all like what a person who has been begging for a living at sea for many years can have, and it's not much better than those pampered nobles. I bet you'll be the favorite of the ladies of the port! ”

may be because of the stabilization of his spirit, Bonnet's tone is getting higher and higher, and the tone of his speech has changed from stumbling at the beginning to a gentle and elegant flowery cavity now, giving Wang Hao the feeling of being a stage actor.

"Did I just look that much like a pirate?" Wang Hao couldn't help asking.

"Well, it's a lot like ......" Bonnet suddenly realized that he seemed to have replied with a wrong answer, and hurriedly remedied, "If you don't mind what I really say." Especially your neat skills, it's simply scary! But I understand that everything shouldn't just be superficial. ”

"Ah, it's okay! After all, you've just been through these things, and I certainly wouldn't mind. Wang Hao waved his hand, "Okay, don't say so much, it's not too early, why don't we get on the boat first!" ”

After all, they are not from this era, and they don't know much about what these people think about pirates and criminals, so of course they don't take these words to heart.

Several sailors rowed small boats to transport everyone and goods to the big ship in turn, and Wang Hao also observed for the first time what a sailing ship in the 17th century looked like.

It was a brig, and a standard civilian cargo ship.

There are no high towers at the bow and stern, and the entire deck is like a flat surface, with only a slight curve. The deck is not wide compared to the long and narrow hull, on which large and small cargoes are secured with net pockets. Two thick masts stand in the middle of the deck, on which Range Rovers tie large and small sails.

There were no defenses on board, not even a single swivel cannon, and the sailors did not carry any weapons with them, and they had little strength to resist in the face of pirate ambushes.

However, the corresponding speed of this ship is faster than that of ordinary ships, and the ability to maneuver more flexibly, and it will be very quick to see the pirates whether they turn around and flee against the wind, or seize the direction of the wind and flee with the wind. As a result, it has always been loved by smugglers who are not able to arm themselves.

Sure enough, while Wang Hao was still wandering on the deck, he heard Bonnet say, "Welcome aboard, Wang." It's a small schooner, but it's all there to help me with all sorts of ocean goals, especially smuggling cargo from my farm to all parts of the Caribbean! ”

"Hah!" Wang Hao chuckled lightly, held the steering wheel in his hand and felt the direction of the wind, "Now that the wind is very good, maybe we can try to sail with full sails." ”

"yes!" Bonnet leaned on the cargo box next to him and sighed: "My hair is blown by the strong wind!" The feeling and smell of the sea is refreshing, and even the smell of the sea makes me feel that as long as people are alive, there will be ...... There is a future! ”

"That's a good point, my friend, I didn't expect you to be a philosopher!"

Bonnet looked at the bow of the boat, looked at the waves formed by the bow parting the seawater, and exclaimed excitedly, "This is called riding the wind and waves!" ”

Under the control of Wang Hao, the sailboat turned around and drove out of the tortuous harbor easily and smoothly, which completely conquered Bonnet and the sailors of the whole ship.

Bonnet couldn't help but admire: "King, you are simply a natural sailor! To be honest, I have never seen such a good helmsman as you when I was serving in the British Navy! ”

Wang Haoxin said of course, I am a man who has raised my navigation skills to the highest level of 5, and it is not easy to operate such a small sailboat.

"I've spent a long time studying seamanship before, but ......," Wang Hao explained casually, and then looked at Bonnet's bloated body and asked, "With all due respect, Bonnet, you still served in the British Navy?!" ”

"Of course, my friend, I've fought in the war against pirates!" Bonnet's eyes narrowed, as if reminiscing about the years before the Bonnet. Then he said in surprise, with a hint of envy in his tone: "God! You're not that old, but you've got a lot of experience! Full of adventure and wonder! ”

Bonnet is a self-cooked, and when he took a small boat, Bonnet chatted with Wang Hao a lot. Wang Hao also picked out a few things that happened in other worlds before and told him to listen.

Bonnet was undoubtedly very interested in these things, so he kept following Wang Hao and asked him to tell him about what other magical things were on the sea.

"Of course, there are a lot of things that I'm not surprised about."

"Oh, tell me about it!" Bonnet said excitedly, and then pulled out a chart, "Wait, wait, before that, let's confirm the course, the target is Havana!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

At this moment, the sailors on the ship also began to sing the ballad that was passed down among the sailors.

β€œWay hay and up she rises……”

However, in Wang Hao's ears, it sounds very like: "Hey~hey~ Wave up......"
