Chapter 270: Buying a Boat
readx;
From outside the city to the dock, Xiao Ran walked a cup of tea, and when Xiao Ran came here, he saw what it means to be crowded. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Countless people dressed in coarse cloth or holding fine dust or twine fishing nets in their hands are all the same, but the faces of these people are either filled with youthful and satisfied smiles, or full of the quaint atmosphere after the vicissitudes of life.
These people look very crudely dressed.
And although Xiao Ran's clothes are not very expensive, Xiao Ran's snow-white gown, coupled with such a simple shape, still made many people notice Xiao Ran.
However, because Xiao Ran looked really young, those people just looked at Xiao Ran curiously and didn't say anything.
"This little brother, here is the team leader Wang Hao, I don't know what you are doing here?!" A middle-aged man with a slightly rough appearance and a face full of rust lines stepped forward a few steps forward and asked.
He is a squad leader in charge of security in the vicinity of this area, and at this moment, a person like Xiao Ran is here, he needs to ask.
Xiao Ran stopped and looked at the middle-aged man.
This person is more than half a head taller than Xiao Ran, and because of his perennial rough work, the whole person is extremely strong, compared to him, Xiao Ran can be called skinny.
Looking at this strong man, Xiao Ran smiled slightly: "I want to buy a ship here for the sea, I don't know who to find?!"
Xiao Ran's polite answer made the big man feel good.
However, when he heard Xiao Ran say that he wanted to buy a ship to go to sea, he was a little puzzled.
Although the scenery here is beautiful, but from ancient times to the present, there is no one who has come back to the sea, even if he goes to sea, at most he rents a boat to go to sea and comes back after a round of offshore play, but the young man in front of him actually said that he wants to buy one, is he too rich or?
Seeing the doubts in the heart of the big man in front of him, Xiao Ran had no choice but to explain: "I'm from the inland. I heard that the scenery here is very good, so I came to watch it, and I bought a boat purely for convenience!"
Hearing Xiao Ran say this, this big man was immediately relieved, too, the son from the inland came to play definitely not for such a small amount of money.
Thinking of this, the big man waved his hand at Xiao Ran and said, "In that case, you come with me, and I'll take you around here to see if anyone has any extra ships to sell to you!"
Xiao Ran didn't hesitate, and walked out directly behind the big man. And the crowd of onlookers who were originally onlookers also immediately dispersed and got busy.
"I don't know what kind of ship this little brother wants to buy? Do you need to hire someone else, the waters around here are not calm, there are often a lot of demon beasts attacking, if it is a small boat, it is fine in the near sea, if it goes into the depths, it will be dangerous!" Wang Hao laughed softly.
"I just buy one that can enter the deep sea, I don't need to hire someone else, I like to be clean!" Xiao Ran smiled slightly.
Hearing Xiao Ran's words. The big man frowned visibly, but he didn't continue.
Soon, Xiao Ran followed behind Dahan to a huge dock.
According to Xiao Ran's preliminary estimate, there are at least nearly 1,000 ships on this pier. Moreover, there are a large number of large ships floating on the sea, and even the huge ship of 100 meters that Xiao Ran saw in the air is quietly parked in the dock.
Most of the boats on this pier are occupied, but there are hardly any people on them. It even looks brand new.
Xiao Ran suddenly understood why this big man brought him here.
Sure enough, I saw that the big man took Xiao Ran and walked straight towards the location of those brand-new ships, walking as he went. While turning back to Xiao Ran, he explained: "Those ships are all built by the shipyards near here, and the purpose is to prepare them for those who are sunken or under attack, but there are only a few dozen, and it is estimated that these ships will be sold out in a hurry."
"Why?!" Xiao Ran was stunned, since it was reserved for backup, how could it be sold so quickly? Could it be that ships are still sinking here every day?
seemed to know what Xiao Ran thought, Dahan's face was also a little heavy, and then he smiled and said: "Little brother doesn't know, you seem to be very rich in the sea where we live, and we can indeed get the benefits we want from the sea." But in less than three years, a large number of demon beasts will appear on the bottom of the sea, and these demon beasts will launch a unified attack at an unspecified time, as long as they attack, those who are in the offshore may be able to escape back, but in the deep sea, it is impossible to come back!"
Xiao Ran was stunned, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.
Speaking of this, Wang Hao's face was a little gloomy, obviously thinking of something.
Xiao Ran didn't say anything more, these have nothing to do with him at the moment, besides, he doesn't have time to care about these things, and it is unknown whether he can even manage them.
But Xiao Ran knew that there must be a reason for these things.
After a moment of silence, the two soon came to the dock where dozens of brand-new ships were moored.
There are about fifty or sixty boats moored at this pier, all of which are completely brand new, but of different sizes and sizes, but in terms of style, they are all the same sailing ships that go out to sea to fish.
As soon as Xiao Ran and the two of them walked to this position, an old man walked out of the cabin of a big ship, and when he saw the two of them coming, his eyes suddenly showed a gleam, and he quickly came to the two of them and said with a smile: "Captain Wang, who is this?!"
Saying this, the old man swept his gaze to Xiao Ran's body.
Because of Xiao Ran's cultivation, his whole body was filled with an elegant aura, which made people look close at first glance.
This Wang Hao obviously also knew this old man, and when he saw the old man come out, he also laughed, and then pointed at Xiao Ran and said: "This little brother wants to buy a ship for the sea, I don't know if your ships have been sold out?" If there is any leftover, you might as well sell one!"
Hearing Wang Hao's words, the old man's brows furrowed significantly, and he looked at Xiao Ran, but there was a hesitant look on his face.
Xiao Ran was stunned even when he found the old man's hesitation, so he blurted out: "This old man, is there anything inconvenient? Or is the ship already sold out?!"
"There are quite a few ships. However, this year is the triennial Demon Beast Flood Day, if the red tide appears, you can drive the boat to the deep sea, it will be a very dangerous thing!" the old man groaned, and still told Xiao Ran.
"Red Tide?!" Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that it was the demon beast invasion that Wang Hao had told him before.
However, Xiao Ran didn't care much about these, so he said to the old man: "It's okay, you just need to sell a boat to me!"
As soon as Xiao Ran said this, the old man took a closer look at Xiao Ran again. At this moment, he found the Heavenly Sword on Xiao Ran's back, and there was a look of relief in his eyes.
Despite this, the old man's face was still a little hesitant, and Xiao Ran had no choice but to look at Wang Hao on the side.
Wang Hao naturally knew that Xiao Ran was definitely not an ordinary person at this moment, otherwise how could he dare to enter the deep sea knowing the red tide?
He didn't hesitate at the moment, so he said to the old man: "I said Old Man Qiu, if you have something here." Let's sell it, this little brother is not an ordinary person, and we are about to go to sea here, so we will take him with us by the way. So it shouldn't be a problem!"
"Okay!" Hearing Wang Hao say this, the old man nodded.
"Come with me!" the old man said softly, then turned and walked up to the cabin behind him.
Xiao Ran and the others also immediately followed, although the boat was floating on the sea. But he barely felt the shaking, and Xiao Ran immediately knew that the draft of the ship was definitely very deep, but Xiao Ran didn't say anything.
Soon. The three of them got on the boat, and under the leadership of the old man, Xiao Ran and the others directly entered the cabin and walked out from the other side.
Here, they had already left the cabin and stood outside the side of the ship, and Xiao Ran immediately knew why the old man had brought them here.
Standing here, Xiao Ran can see all the ships docked on the pier clearly, even the size of the ship.
And at this moment, the old man said to Xiao Ran: "Although this little friend doesn't know why you bought a boat to go to sea, it's better to be careful, when the tide is red, ordinary warriors will not be spared! Now, look at what kind of ship you need!"
Listening to the old man's words, Xiao Ran was a little depressed, the old man made it clear that he didn't want to sell the ship to him, but Xiao Ran also knew that the old man had good intentions, but he was really not afraid, couldn't he fly away?
However, Xiao Ran was lazy to explain this, his eyes swept over those ships one by one, and finally stopped at a ship that was not very big, but it was not small.
"That's it!" Xiao Ran pointed to the ship and whispered to the old man.
"That medium-sized ship, the price is one hundred and twenty gold coins, and it usually takes someone who is skilled in driving a ship to drive it, are you sure you need it?" the old man explained to Xiao Ran.
"Yes!" Xiao Ran nodded lightly.
"Then you come with me to pay the bill!" After the old man said this, he stopped talking and turned around and walked in, but Wang Hao next to him was a little stunned, one hundred and twenty gold coins, the ship was sold so expensive, this young man didn't even cut the price, he really didn't know what to say, shook his head and followed
After entering the cabin, the old man glanced at Xiao Ran, and before he could speak, Xiao Ran had already placed a purse on the long table in front of him.
The old man glanced at Xiao Ran, picked up the purse, and immediately poured it directly on the table.
A small pile of gold coins that looked like mountains of gold suddenly appeared in front of the three of them, still emitting a faint light under the reflection of the candlelight.
The old man counted casually and said to Xiao Ran: "Yes, exactly one hundred and twenty gold coins, this is the license of the ship just now, you take it, the ship belongs to you now, you can drive away now, or drive away in a few days, it's the same!"
"Let's leave it here for a few days, I'll come back and get it in a few days!" Xiao Ran said lightly, turned around and walked outside.
Wang Hao glanced at it and followed, he still had something to go back to be busy, so naturally he couldn't stay here any longer.
"Write more Brother Wang, this is a small gift, not a tribute!" Xiao Ran casually handed over a purse and smiled at Wang Hao.
"Haha, little brother is outside, this is what I should have done, this is not necessary, you can take it back!" Wang Hao smiled slightly, but did not take the purse handed over by Xiao Ran.
I thought about it. Wang Hao continued: "Little brother, our fleet will go to sea in a few days, if it is convenient for you, you might as well sail behind us, it will be much safer!"
"Hehe, no need, I'm just here to see the scenery, I'm still very grateful to you, if there is a chance, we will meet again!" Xiao Ran smiled slightly. Since others were unwilling to accept money, Xiao Ran was too lazy to continue to send him money.
After saying goodbye to Wang Hao, Xiao Ran returned to his previous residential area.
The reason why he came to the residential area was entirely because Xiao Ran was already mentally exhausted after four or five consecutive days of flying, and if he wanted to get out of the endless sea, it would take at least a few months.
If Xiao Ran doesn't rest well now, if he wants to go out again later, it will be really difficult. So no matter what, Xiao Ran must rest first.
Thinking like this in his heart, Xiao Ran had already come to the previous residential area.
At this moment, the sky is completely bright, and there are many fewer pedestrians on the street. The rest were just some vendors still walking in a hurry.
Xiao Ran walked not far and saw a restaurant called Yuelai Inn, and walked in without thinking about it.
Xiao Ran just wants to rest, and Xiao Ran doesn't mind any restaurant.
"This guest officer, I don't know if it's a tip or a hotel?" Xiao Er saw Xiao Ran walk to the door. Immediately walked over with a smile on his face.
"Prepare a table of good dishes for me, prepare a room, and the rest is your reward!" Xiao Ran took out a gold coin and threw it over.
That little second hasn't seen Xiao Ran clearly. When he saw the gold coin thrown by Xiao Ran, he immediately caught it in a hurry, and his eyes were straight when he held it in his hand.
He hasn't had a single gold coin here for several months, and as soon as this guest makes a move, it's a gold coin, and the rest of the money is definitely not much.
At that moment, the smile on the face of this little second became brighter and brighter, and seeing Xiao Ran laughing softly over there, he opened his mouth and said to Xiao Ran: "This guest officer, please inside, I will take you to the second floor to the elegant seat!"
Xiao Ran didn't care about sitting there, nodded directly and followed Xiao Er to the second floor.
Compared with the first floor, the second floor is indeed much cleaner, and there are even many private rooms inside.
Xiao Ran directly entered a private room under the leadership of Xiao'er.
In the private room, Xiao Er first carefully wiped all the tables and chairs, and then ran to open the window, and then said to Xiao Ran: "Guest officer, you sit down first, I'll help you say hello last time, I'll come right away!" Xiao Er saw Xiao Ran nodding, and immediately ran out.
I have to say that this Xiao Er's speed, in just a cup of tea, Xiao Er ran up again, and he carried a plate of dishes in his hand, as well as a pot of wine and a cup.
When Xiao Ran put down these dishes, Xiao Ran looked at the full eight dishes and a pot of wine on the table, even Xiao Ran nodded.
This side is close to the sea, Xiao Ran's table has all the seafood, and all of them are colorful, fragrant, even if they haven't eaten yet, Xiao Ran already knows that these are definitely not bad.
After nodding at Xiao Ran, the little second said goodbye and left.
Xiao Ran was full of food at this meal, and before Xiao Ran even greeted the little er, the little second had already taken the initiative to walk in.
Then he took Xiao Ran into a room on the roof near the sea, and finally said goodbye.
For these arranged by Xiao Ran, even if it is Xiao Ran, he can't find anything picky, the dishes are delicious, even if it is this room, it is also very good, and he can directly enjoy the sea view outside the city.
But these, Xiao Ran didn't have the heart to watch.
Xiao Ran, who entered the room, closed the door directly, then took a look at the sea view and returned to the room and fell asleep.
Although cultivation can also relieve fatigue, Xiao Ran knows that if he continues to cultivate like this, it will be very unfavorable for him to go to sea in the future, and it may even make Xiao Ran a little crazy, so Xiao Ran will not do this kind of thing that is not good for him.
Once the whole person relaxed, Xiao Ran quickly fell asleep.
This night, Xiao Ran didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but Xiao Ran knew that he slept very comfortably.
When Xiao Ran opened his eyes again, it was already a little dark, and Xiao Ran slept for six or seven hours.
It was a rare relaxation, Xiao Ran didn't care, and after getting up and washing up, Xiao Ran opened the room again and walked out.
Because it was close to evening, there were more people eating in the restaurant, even in the private room on the second floor, Xiao Ran heard a lot of people talking.
And Xiao Ran was just about to go out to find that Xiao Er, but Xiao Ran hadn't gone down yet, so he happened to see that Xiao Ran, and immediately beckoned to this Xiao Er.
"Guest officer, may I ask you what's the matter?" Xiao Er laughed softly, he knew that Xiao Ran had money, if he served well, there would definitely be a reward, even if he didn't, the money would be enough for him to spend for a while.
"Help me prepare some food and send it to my room!" After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he threw over a gold coin again, and this Xiao Er immediately caught Lian Lian and nodded, and then turned around and explained a few words to the other Xiao Er before he turned around and left.
For this little er's observation of words and feelings, even Xiao Ran is very satisfied, so Xiao Ran will give a reward, otherwise Xiao Ran would not reward someone for no reason.
After glancing at the private rooms and wine tables around him, Xiao Ran turned around and returned to his room.
Later, after eating the food sent by Xiao Er, Xiao Ran waited for Xiao'er to clean up before sitting cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate.
