Zhang Shaotian left before dawn, although this night's long talk failed to completely solve Lu Chuan's problem, but at least when he left, Lu Chuan's face was much better than during the day, at least he looked like a young man.

Lu Chuan instructed the shopkeeper to clean up the remnants, prepare hot water, wash up well, and then meditate for an hour, then woke up Bai Junyu, gave some instructions, took the sword and left the inn, and went out of Quanzhou City with the dawn.

Don't look at his family living in Jinling, not too far from the sea, but he was born afraid of water, he has never seen the sea, at this time suddenly saw this "suddenly more than a thousand miles, alone for the hundred rivers Xiong." The white wave walks the thunder and lightning, and the black fog hides the fish and dragon", the sun is born in it, and the green scales are brilliant even from the scenery of the green water and green mountains, I can't help but be a little amazing, some fascination, anyway, there is no ship on the shore that is ready to pull the anchor, so I simply found a big bluestone, sat on it, put the sword on my lap, and simply enjoyed the scenery.

I don't know how long it took for someone not far away to wake him up.

"Little knight, are you on the boat, the ship is about to leave!"

The ship was a not too big or too small eight-oar-boat, and the not spacious deck was almost filled with cargo boxes, but the sturdy sailors were still moving up. Although I don't know what is in the box, but looking at the posture of the sailor, it is estimated that it will not be light, with such a ship of "treasures", the fare may be enough to eat for a year and a half.

Lu Chuan originally wanted to ask where the ship was going and if he could send him to the Heavenly Palace, but when he saw a man in a lotus blue robe getting on the boat, he stopped when he spit out the words that came to his lips, and quickly got up and followed.

The strange thing is that he was obviously on the boat with the man in Tsing Yi, but when he arrived at the boat, the man was gone, and he walked along the side of the boat, but he couldn't find it. walked all the way to the door of the cabin, there were two sailors outside the door, asking him if he wanted to go in to rest, Lu Chuan hesitated for a moment and did not go in.

Soon the ship sailed, leaving the shore and going out to sea, he was out to sea for the first time, and standing on the deck by the sea breeze like this, he felt slightly unwell, and his stomach was nauseous, so he wanted to go to the sailor to ask for a bowl of water, but when he reached the door of the cabin this time, the two sailors were gone, and there was no one on the deck except the man who was sitting on the mast and napping. Lu Chuan screamed twice and didn't respond, so he picked up the curtain and walked in, and when he went in, he saw that the man in Tsing Yi was drinking in the cabin, and he was the only one.

Seeing Lu Chuan come in, the man in Tsing Yi smiled slightly and raised his wine glass, "Xiaoyou, do you want to sit down and have a drink together?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a wind blowing outside, and the boat shook, Lu Chuan almost threw up, and hurriedly sat down on the table, so there was nothing polite to say.

The man in Tsing Yi pushed the flask over, "Xiaoyou is on the boat for the first time, right?"

Lu Chuan waved his hand, "I may have drunk a little too much last night, I wonder if there is clear water on the boat?"

The man in Tsing Yi got up with a smile, "Clear water is more expensive than wine when you go out to the sea, Xiaoyou sit down for a while, I'll take a look...... Boatman, do you have any clear water......" said and got out of the cabin.

After a while, footsteps sounded, Lu Chuan hurriedly looked up, and saw the man in Tsing Yi walking up from below, Qing Shui didn't take it, but held two things that I don't know what they were. The whole body was dark red, like coagulated blood, without lustre, long fingers, with a shriveled epidermis, and a stalk behind it, like the fruit of some plant, but he had never seen it.

"The water then arrived, this is a kind of fruit overseas, can be used in medicine, has the effect of curing vomiting, treating choking diaphragm, and stopping diarrhea and dysentery. ”

Lu Chuan received it in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth without thinking about it, and when he chewed it, he realized that ouch, this is purely a medicinal herb, bitter and spicy, and very difficult to swallow. I swallowed it reluctantly, my mouth was full of aftertaste, and I quickly poured a large sip of wine, but it did not lose a bit.

The man in Tsing Yi laughed, "It's hard to eat it for the first time, but the effect is good, how do you feel now?"

Lu Chuan felt that he was indeed not disgusting, so he smiled bitterly: "It's really a good medicine." ”

At this time, the footsteps sounded again, and a sailor walked up with Qing Shui, "Master Ke, you want Qing Shui." As he spoke, he put it in front of the man in Tsing Yi.

"This little brother asked for it, give it to him. ”

The sailor moved the kettle again, and Lu Chuan did not delay, but lifted the kettle and poured it into his mouth.

It is true that water is water, but it is lukewarm, and it does not have the sweetness of spring water and well water, and it is not even comparable to river water and river water, and there is no sweet taste at all.

The sailor put down the water and turned to leave, the man in Tsing Yi looked at Lu Chuan's expression and explained: "The boat is not as good as the shore, don't look at walking in the water, in fact, the most lacking thing is water, the sea water is bitter and can't be swallowed." Therefore, ships that have been at sea for a long time have to find a way to make their own water. ”

"Make water?" Lu Chuanxin said: "Isn't water from the sky and flowing from the ground?

The man in Tsing Yi smiled: "I found that if I put seawater in the tank and close the lid, the water on the lid will not have the bitterness of seawater after a while." I remembered that when we boiled water, there were not many droplets on the spout and lid of the kettle? ”

"But in this way, this water is too expensive. ”

So I commissioned a craftsman to make me a special piece of household goods for making water. The body of the pot is similar to the usual kettle for boiling water, except that the lid should be flat, there is no spout on the body of the pot, and there is a mouth obliquely down on the lid, which is glazed inside and out. In this way, boil the water normally, then attach a bamboo pole to the spout of the pot, let the bamboo pole pass through the cold water, and then use a silver basin at the other end, and the water droplets will flow into the basin. The taste of the water made in this way is slightly worse, but it is more convenient than making up for it. ”

After hearing this, Lu Chuan arched his hand and praised sincerely: "Uncle is really a god!"

The man in Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand and said, "Where, isn't it that you want to beg for a living on the boat and be forced out." ”

Lu Chuan sighed: "If people with fine clothes and food can think about the people like their uncles, invent more things that are beneficial to the people's livelihood, and less intrigue and greed for power, why worry that the country is not rich and the people are not strong." ”

"Mencius" cloud, if you enter, you will not be able to fight at home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish. Today's world is too comfortable, from the monarch down, the monarch only knows pleasure, the minister is Liu Jin's generation, and the people only care about three meals a day, how can such a country be rich? How can such a people be strong?"

"So that's why my uncle let the pirates go ashore. ”

"Yes, people are like pigs, too comfortable will become domestic pigs, eat and sleep and grow useless fat, only in the mountains and forests, surrounded by tigers and wolves, in order to maintain the beastly nature of wild boars, even if it is still not better than jackals, tigers and leopards, but there is also a battle power, life and death!"

"I have never seen the little nephew of the Japanese Kou, but in the northwest, the Tatar tribes disturbed the border from time to time, and the little nephew also faced it a few times, and they burned, killed and looted without the slightest humanity, as for the people...... Very afraid of sword soldiers, without the slightest blood. To let them protect themselves and fight back against strong enemies, the little nephew really didn't dare to think about it. ”

"That's because there are imperial court troops in the northwest, local soldiers like Leng Longling, and the people still have hope and laziness. If you look at the decades before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the people were not bloody. ”

“...... Yes, for example, today's warriors are indeed too comfortable, comfortable...... It's time to savor the pain. ”

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and pushed the flask over again, "When did you recognize me?"

"Uncle Jianghu is called the king of cuiyi, this lotus-blue robe is still conspicuous, and the little nephew followed when he saw it on the shore. Moreover, although the uncle had an explanation for the person who attacked him, and they also covered it up well, the style of the people of the Heavenly Palace could not be concealed. As well as this miraculous medicine, this water-making thing, this remark, it would be too bad to guess the little nephew. ”

"Worthy of ...... Little North Devil, Xue Yu often mentions you when she is at home. ”

Lu Chuan smiled slightly, lowered his head and took a sip of wine.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, you are much more mature than before, like a hero. I've also seen Wan Chaoqing, he has always been more stable than you. ”

"Senior Brother Wan is a dragon and phoenix among people, unlike a little nephew, he was born reckless. ”

"You're still jealous of him?"

"No, the little nephew is from the bottom of his heart. ”

"In the past, I thought you were too arrogant, especially at the Martial Saint's Birthday Ceremony, I was afraid that Xue Yu would suffer with you...... Now, although I appreciate you a little more, I still can't give you Snow Jade. ”

"Little nephew, don't dare to think about it. ”

"Don't dare?"

"I used to have, but now I don't dare. A person like a little nephew should not have a child's affection, and there should be ...... Probably disappointed. ”

"This is the most regrettable ...... I can't figure out why you quit in the first place?"

Lu Chuan smiled bitterly: "The skills are not as good as others, there is no way." ”

"In front of a woman, you can't estimate your face as much as you do in front of your fellow people in the rivers and lakes, look at me, there were so many young heroes in the Central Plains martial arts back then, in terms of martial arts and character and appearance, how many can I Duan Hao rank? Not to mention a peerless genius like Yunlang Swordsman. But in the end, isn't the world's number one beauty still following me? So, as long as you let go of the pursuit, I'm afraid that Xue Yu won't like you?"

Lu Chuan is still drinking slowly, otherwise he has to squirt out, and he has to spray Duan Hao's side, is this like a saying? Where is there a father who teaches others to pursue his daughter? I have never heard of it!

But if people's good intentions are obvious, what is there to find fault with?

Lu Chuan said with a smile: "The predecessors have taught me a lesson, but now that the little nephew has become a waste person who can't even hold a sword, he doesn't dare to ...... I only hope that Senior Sister and Senior Brother Wan can be happy all over the world. ”

"Can't even hold a sword?, how is it possible!" Before he could see how to move, Duan Haoyan came to Lu Chuan's side before he could finish it, grabbed Lu Chuan's wrist, diagnosed it for a moment, and frowned: "The pulse is a little vain, as if it was injured not long ago, but it should be fine." ”

"It's because the little nephew didn't make it clear, and the little nephew's abolition is not caused by injury, but ...... The heart is defeated. ”

Duan Hao smiled and said: "What should I do, a dignified seven-foot man, how can I easily defeat when I encounter a setback! ”
