Chapter 50: More than a month of being pursued

The fat man had been pursued for more than two months, and whenever they thought they had escaped, maybe half a day, maybe one day, Figo's fleet would always appear in their sight, and then they would start to flee again.

The two sides have not fought once, because the strength is not above the same level, so when Figo appeared in the sight of the lookout, the fat man and the others had to flee.

Nina's condition is a little bad, her gums are loose, and sometimes there is a mouthful of blood, Wolflin cried and told her that she was sorry, she shouldn't have taken her on the boat, but little Nina was very sensible, kept saying that it was nothing, and endured the pain and bit down on the braised pork, but her mouth, as well as the braised pork, was full of blood.

Two of the sailors had not been able to eat for two days, because they had bitten off the remaining teeth when they were biting on the salted meat, and the gums were dripping with blood, and now they could not even eat bread, because their mouths were so rotten that they could drink water, but fortunately there was no water now.

No, the water is still there, but it stinks, and it can't be drunk anymore, but fortunately, there are more than 100 barrels of beer on the ship, because in the past, because on the ship, you can only drink one beer per meal, and then you have been running for your life, and the fat man didn't let them drink anymore, but I didn't expect to accidentally leave this hundred barrels of life-saving wine.

Now on the fat boat, no one will drink the stinky fresh water, not even little Nina is thirsty for beer, but now she can't drink it.

Caterina said that these people were suffering from sepsis, which is something that everyone who goes to sea can face, and she remembers that when she and her father went out to sea, four boats went out and only two came back, because they were sailing along the coastline, but a strong wind blew them into the depths of the ocean, and when they came back, they also died of sepsis, and in the end all the remaining sailors could only sail back to two boats, and the remaining two boats were thrown on the sea.

The fat man asked, "Did the sailors who came back survive after getting sepsis?"

Caterina said yes, they went to eat vegetables after they went back, and only eating vegetables could make the body recover from sepsis, so every ship that went to sea would put vegetables on the ship for a few days, but not much, because the vegetables would be spoiled.

Vegetables, vegetables, that's right! The fat man remembered one thing at this time, he once saw an article on the Internet, which was written about Zheng He's voyage to the West, and the whole article was filled with the superiority of the Han nation, saying that if it wasn't for the ban on the sea in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, how could there be anything Western about the Great Voyage, and the whole article was a comparison between Chinese and Western navigation.

For example, the West has sepsis and the East does not! Another example is that Zheng He's treasure ship is bigger than all the ships made in the early and late periods! Another example......

And now the fat man remembers that he is introducing the reason why Zheng He's ship does not have sepsis, that is, they like to drink tea, green tea, and bring vegetable seeds to the ship to plant, they made a lot of big wooden boxes and loaded them with soil, and planted onions, ginger, garlic and celery on the boat, and also raised pigs and chickens on the boat, which they are also raising now, although they have eaten it all, but they have already raised it.

But the most important thing is not this, but the Han people are very clever to bring beans on the boat, and they send bean sprouts on the boat!

That's right! It's bean sprouts, if you don't think about it, the fat man has forgotten that he still carries dozens of sacks of beans in the backpack space!

Thinking of this, he laughed, ran over and grabbed Nina's little shoulder and kissed her on the forehead: "Lovely Nina, you are saved!" ”

Nina's eyes were full of joy and she endured the pain and asked, "Uncle Baron, does Nina really not have to die?" ”

The fat man smiled and said to her: "You will be fine, as long as two days, my uncle will plant vegetables for you, do you like to eat bean sprouts?" ”

Nina had never heard of bean sprouts, she used to have brown bread to eat, it was good, Europeans don't eat sprouts, but they eat vegetables, I don't know why, she feels very, very hungry for vegetables now.

Seeing that Nina had turned her little head into a chicken pecking rice, the fat man walked out of the cabin, and Wolflin followed: "Captain, do we really have vegetables to eat?" ”

He was already desperate, and now Nina was all he had, but Nina had sepsis, and she had sepsis in the depths of the ocean, which was desperate enough.

He heard the fat man say that there were vegetables to eat, and although reason told him that it was impossible, he asked with luck, just like a drowning man who saw the straw and subconsciously thought that it could save his life.

Who knew that the fat man said to him very seriously: "Really, what I said is true." ”

As he spoke, he took out a sack of beans and said: "Now we have water on the ship, although it is already a little stinky, but it is fresh water, and fresh water can make the beans sprout, and in our East, we always have to bring some beans when we go to sea, and we eat bean sprouts when there are no vegetables to eat in the voyage, so we never get sepsis when we go to sea in the East, and it is precisely because none of us have ever had sepsis that I forgot for a moment that I still have beans, and now, I give you the beans, your task, It's to give this sack of beans and make them sprout, and that's a life-saving thing. ”

"Captain, I'll make these cute little things sprout, Nina will be saved, I promise!" As he spoke, he had already picked up the sack of more than 100 catties of beans and rushed to the water tank.

Figo and their ships are not very comfortable, they have drunk the stinky water, there is no way, if they don't drink, they will die of thirst, but after drinking, two of them have already died of diarrhea, many people have suffered from sepsis, two serious ones have committed suicide by jumping into the sea, and two of the five ships have defected.

It is no longer known where he died.

Figo no longer has the idea of getting the charts from the other party, and his current idea is to follow the other party to the death, so that the other party can take him out of this ocean, because he is lost.

In fact, it can't be said to be a trek, he also knows that he can find land from here to the east, but it will take at least more than a month to go back, if he really goes back the same way, they will all die of thirst above the sea in less than ten days, they have no fresh water to drink, Figo looked at the stinky water in his water tank and thought, does the water on the other party's ship stink?

It should also stink, then, whether it is the other party or himself, the most important thing is to find a fresh water supply point, here, he doesn't know where to go to replenish it.

But he believed that the other party had a chart here, and he could feel that the other party was very familiar with this place, because the other party walked very strangely when he took him through a reef a few days ago, and then he ran into a reef and sank when several of his boats followed, and at that time he felt a little strange about how the other party was so familiar with the reef under the sea, and then when the other party led them to a reef group and framed them again, he had already determined that the other party must have a sea chart here, otherwise he would not be so familiar with the reef here.

Well, as long as you follow them, you can return to a port, and now it is important to return to the port to replenish fresh water.

That's what he said to the captain of the only warship that followed him.

Then the lookout shouted, "Captain, I see the other party cheering on the deck!" But I don't know what the reason is. ”

Cheer! Figo was excited: "Look again, do you see the land?" ”

"No, it's not, they're just setting up a ropeway between the two boats and passing things."

What makes them cheer? Figo was now desperate to know.

If Figo had been on the fat man's ship, he would have seen that what made them cheer was only the tender yellow sprouts, which Wolfrin had taken the sailors three days to distribute.

As soon as the bean sprouts came out, they were snatched up by the sailors, one by one, they directly stuffed the tender yellow bean sprouts into their mouths, chewed, but were reluctant to swallow them in their stomachs, especially those who had sepsis, the tears fell to the ground when the bean sprouts were eaten in their mouths, no one knew their pain, like those few gums rotten and couldn't eat, it was the fat man who took out the rice in the food box and let the cook cook it into porridge, especially thin porridge, and poured them down, and they survived.

Now they can't chew the bean sprouts, and it was the fat man who made them put them in a wooden bowl and mashed them into juice before feeding them to drink.

And just like that, the little sprouts turned the ship, which had felt lifeless, into a sea of joy, and the sailors threw the fat man high.

It was he who brought the secret of navigation in the East, it was just a sprout, it was as simple as that, but it was so simple, if he didn't say it, who would know here, and besides, he actually brought beans.

All right! It seems that Lady Luck is on her side.

Originally, those sailors who couldn't eat had planned to jump into the sea at night when no one was looking, but now they didn't have hope of life?

Who would want to die if they can live well.

Ever since there were sprouts on the boat, the fat man didn't have to worry about the ship anymore, and one thing he had recently gotten hooked on was voyeurism.

Belch! Let's observe!

He recently likes to observe the two warships that no longer see him and rush over, there were originally five, but two days ago, he was overshadowed by one, and took them to the reef group, but he has a small map This kind of anti-heaven artifact, but the other party does not, so these ships that followed him were unlucky.

Then two of them turned back, leaving only Figo with the other captain who had been left behind.

Just follow along!

But it's too close, and it's already in the range of the fat man's minimap, and the fat man's minimap has risen to about ten kilometers, because after more than a month and almost two months of escape, his navigation level has risen to level fifteen, and the battle has also risen to level eleven because he yin the opponent's ship, but because the trade is only level ten, so the minimap and the fat man's physical fitness have only risen to the level of level ten, and only when the fat man's trade goes up, will it be possible to expand at that time.

The fat man had already seen that there were dead people on the other side's ships every day, and although they were still two warships, they were not as good as his two merchant ships, because he was much more numerous than him, because none of his crew members died. He had already decided that in a few days, as long as the sick sailors on the ship were almost well, and the other party still had the courage to follow, then he would go back and eat their two ships.

The fat man was taken aback by his bold idea, but then he laughed again, and he was bold, he had already coveted those two warships.
