Chapter 161: I can't help myself
Before boarding the ship, Lu Jing didn't think that these people would do it after getting the things, and they were also ready to fight back.
However, things did not turn out as he imagined, and some people on the ship were a little dissatisfied with his lion's opening up, but many more were still grateful that he was willing to come to the rescue with supplies.
Which is more important, life or money, most people still have points in their hearts.
Especially those ordinary sailors, they are not the ones who pay, so their gratitude to Lu Jing is undoubtedly purer.
After Gu Yunling greeted Lu Jing, he led someone to the other side of the deck, as if there was something to discuss with his subordinates, with his identity, there was naturally no need to talk to someone who might stay for a few minutes before leaving.
This made many ordinary sailors come to thank them while waiting for the shipwright to count the materials, and this is exactly what Lu Jing was looking forward to.
"The waterspout just now is very dangerous, I feel a chill down my spine when I look at it from a distance, I didn't expect you to successfully escape, and you happened to meet us nearby, which shows that you are lucky to go to sea this time. ”
Directly but Mu Shi Island is obviously not good, Lu Jing decided to start the conversation with the waterspout first.
"Who said it wasn't, if it wasn't for Mr. Gongshan's action just now, our ship would have sunk, don't you know, the most dangerous time is that the bottom of the ship broke a hole in the boss, that is, our ship is big, and the bilge can be supported by water for a while, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
A sailor with a board handed Lu Jing a half-peeled orange, which was also their thanks, and continued,
"It's a pity that most of the materials in the bilge have leaked, and several whale oil engines have been paralyzed, and they are being repaired...... In short, I can only hope that I will not encounter this kind of bullshit again. ”
Even if it was just an ordinary sailor, he deliberately concealed it when he mentioned the destination, obviously that Captain Gu had already explained.
"Muhammad, right?"
Lu Jing shrugged his shoulders, took the initiative to pick it out, and then said,
"There's that island around here, and my ship is going there, and since you're here, I think you're going there too, right?"
Instead of secretly probing, it is better to be more open, at least it will not make them think that Lu Jing has any special intentions.
"Yes, that's right...... What are you going to do there?"
The sailor looked at Lu Jing with some surprise, and said the opposite.
"What else could it be, forbidden area, my friend and I are doing expeditionary work, there are so many ships sunk in the forbidden area, but if we can find one, we can make a fortune. ”
Throwing the two oranges into his mouth, Lu Jing then spread his hands and said as a matter of course,
"Of course, I've already made a fortune now, so I just told my crew that if it's too dangerous this time, we'll withdraw directly, twenty gold leaves are enough for us to spend a while." ”
This is a very suitable reason, several sailors standing next to him looked at Lu Jing, and couldn't hide the envy in their eyes, one of them scratched his neck and couldn't help but speak,
"It should be very profitable to do your business, and the income from going to sea is shared ......by yourself."
"It's okay, if you're lucky, you can always make a profit, aren't you the same, although it's an official ship, but it's also a place like a forbidden area, such a big risk, and there are a lot of subsidies, right?"
Follow the other party's words, and lead the topic to the forbidden area without a trace.
"Heh, where is our turn to do such a good thing, if there is a choice, who wants to come to this kind of ghost place, in the end it is not a matter of the last sentence, what bullshit forbidden area, I see, this waterspout is the beginning, we have to find some undersea city after that...... Fuck, I asked someone to get by before I came, and no one who went there came back alive!"
finally escaped death, and thought that there might be greater risks waiting in the future, after all, there were still people with a problem, they didn't react just now, and now they called Lu Jing a hook, and immediately couldn't hold it back, and complained in a muffled voice.
"You don't want to go to Sea Burial City, that place is a real forbidden place, I heard from my peers that the adventure teams that have gone to the forbidden area over the years have all walked around Sea Burial City, you ......."
A gleam flashed in his eyes, and Lu Jing put on a surprised look, and stopped talking.
"Who says it's not, I used to hear people say that if you have a mouth at the top, the people below will have to break your legs, but now it's really getting more and more unbearable. ”
It was still the same person just now, he didn't deny the sea burial city mentioned by Lu Jing, and the faces of the other sailors next to him were also full of depression.
However, this situation did not last long, not that they suddenly lifted their spirits, but that the captain of the ship noticed the situation here, twisted his brows and leaned forward to scold him, and drove everyone back to Yuanwei.
At this moment, several boatmen also ran over from the pile of materials next to them, and Lu Jing could hear them report to Gu Yunling that there were enough materials.
Of course, there was enough for them to get to the island, and only then could the ship get a real rest, and for now it was just to make sure it wouldn't suddenly scrap halfway through.
Seeing that there was no chance to inquire further, Lu Jing did not speak again, and took the money bag into his arms and prepared to step forward to say goodbye.
"The destination of Brother Di's trip, if I guessed correctly, should also be Mu Shi Island?"
Knowing that Lu Jing was about to leave, Gu Yunling took the lead and said,
Lu Jing could guess their target, and Gu Yunling also knew that the strength of a team like this that dared to go to sea with a few people was by no means idle, and since it appeared here, it was self-evident where the destination was.
"That's right, I'll not hide it from you, we're going to try our luck in the forbidden area this time. ”
There is nothing to deny this, after all, there is only one port on Muhammad Island, and they all have to go there, and they will definitely have to meet again when the time comes.
"At present, there is still more than half a day's sea journey from Muhammad Island, and Brother Di has also seen the situation of our ship, in order to prevent further accidents on the road, I would like to invite you to come along...... Rest assured, you can keep this distance. ”
Gu Yunling, who had just experienced a natural disaster, was also apprehensive now, and on the premise that he was not sure whether he would encounter similar bad weather in the future, he naturally wanted to find an insurance, paused, and continued,
"I still have a reluctant request here, this is the first time we have come to the forbidden area, the rules on Muhammad Island and the situation in the forbidden area are all unreasonable, so I want to hire your team, no matter what the final result is, the reward of 30 gold leaves will be offered with both hands, in addition, the Shuoming Imperial Court is now short of manpower, if you are interested, I am willing to match you and find a high-ranking official position!"
What they were discussing just now was this matter, that waterspout made everyone aware of the risks of the forbidden area, and Gu Yunling immediately started to think of recruiting when he learned through his subordinates that Lu Jing was a water control transcendent who could play a big role in the boundless sea, and there was also an adventure team under his hand that was suspected of having many transcendents.
There is no way, this trip to the forbidden area, he has no bottom in his heart, but there is an explanation from above, he doesn't dare to disobey, if he can find a strong helper, he can't ask for it.
"Peers can, as for accepting employment...... How about I go back and talk to the crew before I get back to you with an answer?"
Now that he knew that the target of these people was also the Sea Burial City, Lu Jing's mind inevitably came alive.
