Chapter 199: Tian Mozhi
The next morning, after a night of revelry, most of the people had not yet woken up, except for the samurai on duty.
And Yang Ming had already appeared on the bow of the ship early in the morning.
He stretched, and there seemed to be no sleepiness on his face.
"Breaking through to the Divine Journey Realm, I don't need to sleep much, and I can maintain this spirit."
In the past, Yang Ming could stay refreshed without sleeping for a few days at most, but now, it seemed that he didn't need to sleep at all. After rolling on the bed for half a night, Yang Ming came to the deck to breathe the wind when he saw that it was dawn.
This kind of fully enclosed wooden boat is really stuffy inside.
"Huh?" Seeing that there were still people on the deck, Yang Ming walked over curiously.
"It's you, why don't you sleep?" This man was the middle-aged man who looked like the bookkeeper, and he was writing something on a booklet.
"Your Excellency." The middle-aged man turned around and saw Yang Ming, and he hurriedly hugged his fists.
"What are you writing about?" Yang Ming asked.
"Back to my lord. The little one is documenting the maritime affairs, which is what happens every day on board." The middle-aged man said.
Yang Ming thought for a moment, "Yes, you can show me."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly handed the booklet to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming glanced at it, and what was recorded on it was the time of their departure and what happened on the ship, among which Yang Ming's breakthrough through the iQue Realm and the summoning of the giant dragon with a sword were also recorded. The most important point is that there is a signature on it, and the middle-aged man's name is Tian Mozhi.
"What's the use of you writing this?" Yang Ming was puzzled, "Was it the Mu family's request? Or did you write it for yourself in your own spare time?"
Tian Mozhi explained: "My lord, this is called maritime, every ship that goes to sea has someone to write, the purpose is to record the things on the ship, if it is unfortunately sunk, the people who come to search and rescue or the people of the future generations can understand what happened to us through the content of the maritime."
As he spoke, he pointed to the box on the side: "My lord, this is called a thousand machine box, it is not wet in water, and the knife is constantly chopping, except for the adult's knife, of course. Put the booklet in here, and it will remain intact for at least a few hundred years, so that even if we die, future generations will know our names and know what happened to us."
After a pause, he continued: "This kind of thousand machine boxes are made by Mu Fu, and there are only two keys, one in my hand and one in Mu Fu's hand."
Yang Ming picked up the thousand machine box, looked at it, and said, "Having said so much, isn't it just a black box, by checking the contents inside, after the accident, it is easy to hold accountable."
"Your Excellency is right, that's pretty much what it means." Tian Mozhi said with a smile.
"Not to mention whether such a big cedar longship can sink, even if it sinks, I can walk." Yang Ming smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"In fact, on the ship, the most important thing is the human heart. Hero, you are okay, you can leave with your partner in case of danger. But we can't, and once the ship hits the reef near a desert island, basically no one can come to our rescue. At that time, when the food and water are drunk, the wildness hidden in the hearts of the people will completely explode. No matter how noble your status is, even if you are a nobleman of Apocalypse City, in the face of death, you will become insane and can do anything." As Tian Mozhi spoke, his face suddenly became expressionless, not like he was telling the possibility at all, but stating a fact.
Yang Ming saw his expression, and he didn't want to say anything more. Yes, in case of danger, Yang Ming can escape with Xiao Se and his party, and it will be okay to add one more Mu Chunfeng. But they can't, in that kind of emergency, Yang Ming naturally won't lend a helping hand to them. Once you stretch out your hand, the people on the boat will flock to it, and some people even have, I can't live, you don't want to live, and you will pull some cushions on your back before you die.
"Mr. Taunt, you're up so early." Mu Chunfeng rubbed his eyes, his eye sockets were bloodshot, and he didn't sleep well at first glance.
"Mu Gongzi, it's early." Yang Ming said hello.
"The shopkeeper of Jin Yan is also there." Mu Chunfeng glanced at the middle-aged man and gave him a look.
"The third prince is early, I still have some things, so I will leave first." With that, he hurriedly ran away.
Mu Chunfeng walked up to Yang Ming and asked, "Sir, are you interested in this Tian Mozhi?"
Yang Ming said lightly: "I can't talk about being interested, I just think that he is a little different."
Mu Chunfeng nodded and agreed, "It's really different, he has eaten people."
"Oh?" Yang Ming became interested and asked, "What does Master Mu say?"
Mu Chunfeng said: "Ten years ago, Tian Mozhi went down to the sea with a caravan, and the ship set off from the southernmost Liyang Port, and wanted to go to the northernmost Tianhai Port to do business with the northern barbarians. It was supposed to be a month-long voyage, but the ship did not appear until March. At that time, the supplies on the ship had disappeared, and there was only one person left on the ship, Tian Mo, and he was already skinny at that time. According to his confession, it was the bottom fishermen in the boat who wanted to swallow the supplies on the ship. Because of this, there was turmoil on the ship, and those who deserved it died, and those who did not die died because they could not be treated, and eventually died."
Yang Ming answered, "Tian Mozhi should have hid before the turmoil."
"Not bad." Mu Chunfeng nodded: "At first, no one believed his words, and the people in the government thought that he killed the people on the boat."
"Later, the people of my Mu family took the key and opened the thousand machine boxes on that boat, which proved Tian Mozhi's statement."
Yang Ming thought for a while and said, "I roughly understand that he can survive, not because he is lucky, but because he can talk about it."
"Almost." Mu Chunfeng spread his hands and said, "This kind of situation, Mr. Xi Luo will not experience. Before I went to sea, my family told me one thing: don't do anything, run away immediately."
"The most feared thing is the human heart."
Yang Ming said, "I have a word in mind."
"What?" Mu Chunfeng asked.
"There is great hunger, cannibalism." Yang Ming said slowly.
Mu Chunfeng nodded thoughtfully: "There are fish in the sea, there will be no shortage of food, the only thing that is lacking is water. Seawater can't be drunk directly, and Tian Mozhi was able to survive because he dared to drink human blood."
"Won't distill?" Yang Ming complained, it is not a desert area, how can there be a shortage of water.
"Distillation? What is that?" Mu Chunfeng asked.
Yang Ming's eyes rolled and said, "This is the first thing I will do to help your Mu family, and I will tell you how to drink fresh water at sea."
Mu Chunfeng's eyes lit up: "Sir, please say, if this is really the case, the Mu family will definitely give a generous reward."
Part of the Mu family's business is done at sea. Naturally, they need a way to get fresh water at sea. Once they have this kind of information, they can also sell it to others, which can be described as a million gold. The premise is that this method can be bought out in Yang Ming's hands.
