Chapter 297: Let's get a new ship

Shao Xi didn't bother to bother with Lao Wu, an open-mouthed old fellow, but walked around the dock and continued to look for a boat to see if anyone was willing to take them to Yingyue Island.

As a result, as soon as I heard that I was going to cross the sea to the island of the full moon, no matter which ship gave the answer, I knew that the island was not allowed to be approached, and no one wanted to offend the gods, for fear that sailing on the sea would be retributed in the future.

This time Shao Xi was depressed, he just wanted to go to Yingyue Island to apologize to others, why did he encounter this kind of thing? Is it possible to buy a boat with your own money and drive it by yourself? That's!

When he was scratching his heart and liver, he saw Lao Wu talking with a fisherman in a very inconspicuous position far away, and it didn't take long for Lao Wu to come back at a trot, and at the same time the fisherman also drove away from here.

Lao Wu came to Shao Xi's side and pulled Shao Xi to the carriage as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Found a fishing boat. You know what? It's the fisherman I found ten years ago, it's been ten years, this guy hasn't grown at all, and he's still using the broken boat from ten years ago. I asked him to take us to Full Moon Island again, but because you kid just made it known to everyone, he didn't dare to let us get on the boat here, so let's go half a mile further!" When we got to the front there was a small bay, and when we got on the boat there, he drove us to Yingyue Island, but this time there were many of us, and we brought the big fat man on the rear panel of the car, so we had to give us more silver taels. In addition, you plan to let that big fat boy practice the hammer method this time, I don't know how long it will take, I have to make an appointment with him in advance, and then he will secretly go to Yingyue Island to pick us up at that time. Don't make a noise about this, otherwise he won't be able to mix in this area in the future. ”

Shao Xi had to admire Lao Wu, an old guy who was not only lucky, but also quite methodical.

I don't know how he persuaded the fisherman? Probably because I went there once ten years ago and found that there was nothing, so this time I was bold, after all, what kind of price Lao Wu could offer Shao Xi wanted to get, don't look at Lao Wu is very petty on weekdays, and when he really encounters something, he is much more generous than himself.

"How much money did you talk to him about? I think his ship is broken enough, and the two of us can say that if we take the black ball in the back, we won't sink the ship halfway through, right? I don't know how to water! ”

Lao Wu was happy when he heard it, Shao Xi was almost drowned in Wulongtan last time, and if he fell into the water again this time, he might not be so lucky.

"Don't pick and choose, it's good to find a boat willing to cross us, you still suspect that someone's boat is broken? This guy is not easy to say, there are weak and sick children in the family, who need to be diagnosed and treated and taken medicine all the year round, and he himself is not willing to spend the silver I gave him ten years ago, and he has all given the child medicine, so this time I promised him to send two pieces of silver to him in a row, so that he can take it back to see the child, you won't think I give too much, right? ”

Shao Xi was not happy when he heard this, and pulled a face and said to Lao Wu: "You are really good!" I gave one collar last time, and this time you will give two collars, and how many collars will you give for a few trips? Do you know that there is a sick child in the family, and it is not easy for him to earn two dollars, so you can't give more to others? People have helped us twice before and after, and ten taels of silver is enough for the child to see a doctor temporarily, but if you look at his broken ship, if you don't change it again, it is estimated that it will not be long before the family will have to cut off their livelihood. Give him ten collars! In addition to treating the child and then asking him to change to a new ship, although fifty taels of silver is not a small amount, but we are not unable to take it out, there is no need to save money at this time, the people who helped us when we needed it most, we must not treat others badly. ”

I was always confused by Shao Xi, and I thought I was thinking that I was giving too much, but I didn't expect that I was thinking that I was giving less, so I added eight collars to the two pieces of silver, and he had nothing to say when he saw Shao Xi so generous, he could only say that the fisherman had met a noble person this time.

There are a few dilapidated fishing boats parked in this small bay ahead, apparently forced to dock here temporarily because they can't occupy a place on the other side of the cage bay.

The fisherman who promised to cross the sea with Shao Xi and the others looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, probably because he was exposed to the sea all year round, and he looked much older. He is not tall, with a strong physique, dark skin, and a wrinkled face.

Seeing Shao Xi and the others get out of the carriage, they trotted all the way to greet them, but they didn't dare to speak with a simple smile on their faces, but they just bent over and kept smiling, nodding their heads constantly.

Shao Xi glanced at him, then looked up at the dilapidated fishing boat he had parked in the bay, and took out two pieces of silver from his arms and stuffed them into his hands.

"I heard that there is a perennial sick child in your family who needs to be treated and taken medicine, you can take the ten taels of silver back to catch medicine for the child first, and use the rest as a deposit to book a new ship. You will come back after you have sent us to the island, and you will pick us up on the island in a month's time, and I hope that you will pick us up in your new ship, and pay you another forty taels of silver when you return us, but you must make sure that you will pick us up on time, and that you will not delay our business. ”

The fisherman was stupid!

What I agreed with Lao Wu before was that this time I would give them one and pick up two trips for a total of ten taels of silver, which he felt that he was already asking for a sky-high price, but he didn't want this young patron to pay him ten taels of silver before he set off, and actually said that he would give forty taels after taking them back, is this crazy?

That's a full forty taels, and he can't make so much money in his life.

This trip down fifty taels, in addition to seeing a doctor for the child, and ordering a new ship, there is still a lot left in hand, won't the future life be better? This trip is really a noble person.

It could be seen that his hands were trembling with excitement at this time, but he still didn't say anything, just with tears in his eyes, he kept bending down to salute Shao Xi, and Shao Xi's heart was also sour.

Life is not easy, and being a parent is even more difficult! I hope his family's life will improve after he gets a new boat! There is only so much he can help, and the rest is up to him.

After inquiry, I learned that the fisherman's name was Luo Kang, and the locals called him Akang, and his mother-in-law died early, and there was only one daughter left in the family who was born weak and sick all the year round. He has always made a living by fishing, but his people are weak, the boat is old, and he doesn't catch much every time he fishes, so he can barely support his family's life, and he has to treat his daughter, so his life has been very difficult all these years.

The money given by Lao Wu ten years ago saved his daughter's life, but the money was also spent, and the rest of life was still difficult.

But he never dreamed that ten years later, the old patron came to the door again, and brought such a generous young patron to come, this time the income of fifty taels of silver could finally invite a good Lang Zhong to give his daughter a good look at the sick, and his broken ship that had been repaired and repaired could finally be replaced, which made him see hope for his future life. At this time, Shao Xi was no longer just a noble man in his eyes, but a living bodhisattva who saved suffering.

Respectfully let Shao Xi and the others to his broken fishing boat, Wu Qiu'er almost overturned the boat when he got on the boat, but fortunately, Luo Kang's skills in handling the boat were good enough to stabilize the boat in time, and when he looked back at Wu Qiu'er sitting in the stern, he was also scared into a cold sweat.

With such a master on his small boat, it seems that it will be difficult to cross the sea this time, but as long as they are sent to Yingyue Island, they will not be afraid to come back to a new boat, even if there are two more black balls.

Luo Kang, who got on the boat, was like a different person, after all, this was his home field, so he talked more, and talked about the experience of boating while rocking the boat to the deep sea.

"You guys are unlucky, this May and June is the season of the southeast hurricane, the last two days are rare and calm, if you come two days late, you won't be able to go to sea, fortunately, Yingyue Island is not too far from here, it will be there in a day or so, I have to hurry back to send you there, and when the hurricane is avoided, it is almost time to pick you up."

As a northerner, Shao Xi didn't know anything about these things at sea, but he also knew that things like typhoons were not a joke, and if he encountered this thing at sea, it would probably be a small life.

"Uncle Luo has made a living from the sea for so many years, and I think he knows everything about the sea, and I'm not too worried, as long as I can send me to the island safely, you can pick a good day to pick us back in a month, and the silver taels promised to you will definitely not be less, I hope that the boat I take when I come back can be more comfortable than the current one."

Luo Kang smiled "hehe", and said excitedly as he walked to the middle of the boat and pulled up the sails: "Childe has produced so much silver, enough for me to order a much bigger ship than now, and when the three of Childe get on the boat again, it will definitely not be as shaky as it is now, even if there are some storms, we will not be afraid." ”

Shao Xi nodded reassuringly, turned his head to look at the sea, at this time the fishing boat was really called sailing, looking at the coastline that gradually disappeared in his eyes, Shao Xi felt that he had completely integrated into the sea and sky, this wide and comfortable feeling was unprecedented.

However, this feeling did not last long, and he began to feel a little uncomfortable, and his stomach turned upside down, as if something had been pushing up his throat, and finally he couldn't stand it anymore, and spit it out "wow".

Luo Kang hurriedly stretched out his foot and kicked a wooden barrel over, shook his head with a smile, this sea boat is different from the inland river boat, there are few people who don't get seasick when they sit on it for the first time.

But what made him feel strange was that Lao Wu also vomited on the side this time, saying that this old man had never vomited when he was on the boat ten years ago, why did he vomit today?

Lao Wu raised his head and looked at Luo Kang embarrassedly, and stretched out his hand to point at Shao Xi next to him.

"I'm disgusted by his ......, ......"
