Chapter 3: The Emerald Isle
The boat travels, breaking the water like an arrow.
Due to some of the cargo, the cargo ship traveled relatively quickly on the endless sea.
Seeing that Lao Yang was still the same as before, Dong Han's heart was a little more excited, and he was excited after a long absence.
The night before, he had finally given Dong Han a big meal on Cloister Island, and he also brought Qiu Bing's raft. The gist of it is that you can go to any branch of the Chamber of Commerce to ask for help if you have something, and of course, don't leave your hands when you need help in the winter cold.
At this time, Lao Yang and Donghan were still there as before, basking in the sun on the deck.
"Brother, my brother really envy you!"
"Envy what?"
"Such a big thing, before the wind and rain gathered, there is a very high possibility of a trigger! What is the result? It was resolved in just a few words. I'll go back and tell the young master about it, the young master has more face!"
"Hehe, I also happened to meet someone I knew well. Or do you think it's that easy? Those guys are obviously trying to kill themselves. 〞
"Didn't you see that you were a little scared, or did you already know that there were acquaintances?"
"No, I only found out when I came out of the mine. 〞
After that, everyone had dinner together that night, but Dong Han didn't say anything to them, and Lao Yang left the next day, so he was still a little curious.
"You kid, it's a strange thing! But that time it was thanks to you, otherwise, it would be much more troublesome to solve this matter! That's why they sent someone over. 〞
"Well, I seem to have seen a new face at the helm of the Chamber of Commerce, and that's fine. At least there's a precaution for the future. 〞
"What else have you heard?"
"Oh, there's something about your little guys. Do you remember Fang Yao, that little girl is really weird. Ever since I knew that your little things were okay, they were just playing around over there. 〞
"Hehe, that's what I've thought of as well. I wonder what happened?"
"When I went back, she hadn't gone back to Sifang City yet, and she wanted to take them with her, but I heard the young master say that Fang Gongzi didn't allow it, and the two more active sables were in that house. I just played with her happily, but I didn't leave the house. In the end, I left crying, and left a message to settle accounts with you when you go back!"
"Oh, that's an accident! It seems that I will have to get two gadgets for the little girl to be playmates if I have a chance. 〞
Dong Han knows that the little girl rarely comes out. Although the Fang family will not lack anything, the little girl always has that curious heart, let alone her, she sometimes does. This is one of human nature.
Only when you are curious will you know how to explore aggressively. It's natural to know something that others don't know. Sometimes, though, it backfires, and it's just a matter of what you have to decide.
"There's nothing else to do, the young master didn't say anything, he gave me a raft, and that's all. 〞
"Did you come here this time from the same funnel trench last time?"
"Yes, but this time it was smooth sailing, nothing happened. 〞
"Oh, that's good. 〞
Dong Han was thinking that the sea Jiao was probably still recuperating from his injuries.
"The last voyage must have been smooth, right?"
"Well, it went well. 〞
............
............
After five days of sailing, seabirds appeared in the low sky. According to what Lao Yang said before, this is to go to a place where there is an island.
Sure enough, just around noon, a dark shadow appeared at the end of the sea, and it was a large patch.
When I got closer, I saw a large strait like a thousand blades, cut by a sharp weapon.
The cliffs were blue and black, with occasional flashes of light, flickering in the sunlight, and the water was no more than fifty zhang wide, and here it was sometimes possible to see some smaller cargo ships passing on the other side of the water.
The mountain blades on both sides are almost vertical. And even the divine thoughts of winter cold can't sense the end.
As soon as I entered here, it was a lot quieter on all sides. Dong Han went to the wheelhouse, and before he could speak, Lao Yang spoke first: "This is the only way for us to go to the Emerald Island, which is thirty miles away. Do you see that occasional glitter?"
"I see. 〞
The Winter Cold Divine Thought swept over, and it was some stones that were as special as crystal, but the color was more intense, not as transparent as crystal. There are no energy fluctuations, at best, it looks better.
"That's how the Emerald Isle came from. That's the natural jadeite rough. 〞
"Oh. 〞
Dong Han knows that jade is such a thing, although it is not as precious as jade. But it is also more liked by the rich.
"And the Emerald Isle, the size of the pits dotted around. There are a lot of miners, and because of the instigation of interests, the island is still relatively chaotic. The Chamber of Commerce also has a rudder here, and this side is not as vast as Cloister Island, but the situation on the island is much more mixed. 〞
Listening to him, Dong Han can naturally guess why there is chaos.
"The approximate reason is nothing more than robbery, stealing, right?"
"Well, that's pretty much it. There are many islands near here, and it's easy to hide if something happens. 〞
"How many islands are there around here?"
"This guy doesn't know, but I'll just get a chart and look at it later. What's going to do?"
"If you don't do anything, just ask!"
"Brother still thinks you're going to get some jade?"
"I don't have that kind of thought!"
"Well, those exposed are just ordinary goods, and the good ones are in the pit, and the color should be emerald green, but it is just to make a utensil or polish it into a jewelry pendant, and it will not help the warrior himself. 〞
"Hehe, my brother asks a question that shouldn't be asked! Brother has an interest in someone, or has he made a family decision?"
Dong Han smiled, "This is really not there, you also know, like my brother who wanders around all day long, even my father and mother haven't seen it for a while, how can I have any time to take care of those things." 〞
"It's strange that the old brother is too talkative. If I mean, I might as well get some when I get there. But if you come across a good one, you can still keep it for later, and it's also good to give it away. 〞
"It depends. 〞
As long as you get to some places along the way, Lao Yang will take the helm by himself if there are some places that are slightly dangerous. After Dong Han asked, he went out to the deck, and the sunlight could only reach most of the water through the mountain blade, and the cargo ship was moving forward with the sun on its back, but it was also cool and dry.
The waterway of dozens of miles is still relatively fast in the relatively stable fjord, and the number of cargo ships slowly coming and going has increased.
The ship is also hung with all kinds of dart flags and unique flags of various forces, and when you arrive here, you obviously feel warmer than on the side of Cloister Island.
Before the sun went down, the cargo ship finally sailed out of the strait, and the sea suddenly opened up and became lively.
The wharf three miles away is very large, but there are not many big ships, and they are all small and medium-sized. The biggest difference between this and Cloister Island is that the entire architecture of the island is along the mountain.
From a distance, it looks like a huge stone tower with many houses built, and there are occasional large stone houses.
This is an island built on the mountain, and it is the first time that Donghan has seen such a strange idea and ingenious construction of the island. I have a little more respect in my heart.
The mountain is not very steep, and there are scattered houses all over the place, and there is a strange style in which people shuttle through it.
When I arrived at the wharf, the stone houses that I saw from a distance were much larger, and the project was relatively huge.
Although it is built on the mountain, it is still made of local materials. However, each floor of the house is very different, the higher you go, the thicker it is strictly forbidden, and a two-zhang wide stone staircase road leads to the top of the mountain.
There are still people from the chamber of commerce who receive goods at the wharf, and many strong men are waiting for work with flat poles and hemp ropes, and there is no use for carriages and horses here.
There are quite a few, two or four people can carry mountain chairs and sedan chairs for women and children, and the vegetation on the mountain is mostly relatively low thorny bushes, planted on the stone troughs of the houses along the roadside.
People with this planning and coordination ability are certainly not something that ordinary people can do.
"Don't look at it, you can stay here. From here to the farthest island of our chamber of commerce, there are still about six days to go, and there will be a boat in a few days. 〞
"Then I don't have to, I'm just curious. Who wrote this style? 〞
You must know that this is not simply about living, eating, drinking, sleeping, wind, snow and rain.
"It's a long time to say, let's go, go to the dock of the Chamber of Commerce first, hand over the bill of goods and then talk to you slowly. 〞
"Hehe, it's just a whim. 〞
"It's all the same, and I was shocked when I first came here, but now it's okay. Out of admiration or admiration!Hehe, let's go. 〞
Winter cold followed Lao Yang up the steps, the stone steps are relatively wide, not too steep. It's not a difficult thing for a warrior.
When the two of them were walking to the third floor of the house, they saw some people surrounded by a relatively large group of stone houses on the fourth floor above the right diagonal side, and there was a noise.
Dong Han didn't care, after all, this was the first time to come. There are no acquaintances here, and the so-called matters are none of their business, and they don't care too much.
However, Lao Yang walked up quickly, and then turned around and walked over there.
Dong Han followed closely, "Brother Yang, that's the rudder of the Chamber of Commerce?"
"No, it's a place to store your goods. What the hell happened to so many people. Come on, bro, let's take a look. 〞
The two of them quickly approached, and they saw that it was not that something was going on in the Chamber of Commerce, but that the two groups of people were arguing because of the disagreement over the delivery of goods.
Lao Yang entered the outer door, and an old man who looked like a tent asked, "What is going on with Mr. Zhang?"
"It was Deacon Jan who came, and it was they who had a dispute over the ownership of the pack. It has nothing to do with our Chamber of Commerce. 〞
"Oh. 〞
"How's this trip going well? Let's go inside and sit down." 〞
He turned around and called a person who was about the same age as Lao Yang, and Lao Yang also greeted him.
"Zhang Quan, you are staring at the point here, waiting for their final results to come out. Remember not to get involved. 〞
"Yes, helmsman. 〞
