181,【Port farewell】
Fang Chang has seen many riverside wharfs before.
Some of the freshwater piers were coming and going, and there were crowds of people. Some were in important traffic areas, prosperous and brisk, and some were bouncing by the fields alone. There were a few simple sheds around them, providing some simple repairs, crude supplies and rural food.
But this harbour is different.
First of all, the ships are different, and the shapes of sea and river ships are very different. Most of the ships docked in Chaoyungang are strong and have a large mast, with high masts, mostly double masts and three masts, and the anchors used are also huge and heavy.
Fang Chang even saw a giant ship with five masts sailing, shaking the waves away, and its momentum was so strong that even the old boatmen on the dock stopped and took a look at it.
Then there is different water. As the saying goes, "There is no wind on the sea and the waves are three feet long." Even though the weather is clear and windy these days, the waves are still carrying bubbles, rushing towards the shore, beating the rocks by the water.
It is said that extremely violent winds often occur on the sea, causing huge waves several floors high. The same situation is enough to sweep all the ships on the river.
Finally, people are different. At this time, sailing on the sea has popularized the star-leading road, and no longer needs to frequently approach the port like on the river. A single trip may drift on the sea for more than half a month. Therefore, the sailors have a very different temperament, all of whom are tanned and red, with a rough and rough manner that has been tempered by the sea breeze.
Liu Yuande was knowledgeable and told Fang Chang:
"The most important thing about sailing on this sea is water, then grain and firewood. The sea is full of salty and bitter water and cannot be drunk. People can not eat for many days, but they will not be able to drink water for two or three days."
"In addition, beans and tea are also very important. Beans are used to produce bean sprouts. This is the only fresh vegetable on the boat. No matter how crude the tea is, you must bring enough. Without bean sprouts and tea, you will have blood on the boat for a long time and may even die."
"Of course, it's all said in the book. This is the first time I've seen the sea. The world is so vast..."
After saying that, he looked at the sea in the distance.
It was morning, the masts inside the port were like forests, and the golden light of the rising sun was stirred into scales by the waves. Thousands of sails were coming and going, and it was very prosperous.
Looking out, you can see the line between the sky and the water. However, clouds and clouds are everywhere in the sky, and there is no "water and sky" scenery, but it also makes the sky and the earth look wide.
Yu Qingling was next to her, holding the scabbard, and also following Liu Yuande's gaze, she couldn't help but be attracted by this beautiful scene.
Moreover, she has always been envious of Brother Liu's knowledge of everything in the world before he went out.
Fang Chang said: "The weather will be not very good in the next few days. Be careful when you travel this time."
The two nodded when they heard this.
They came out and were preparing to board the ship together.
Of course, Yu Qingling and Liu Yuande, as the leader, planned to board the boat together and protect the doctor and his group to the southern border, while Fang Chang and most of the Jianghu people would separate from them at the dock.
A large amount of land was leveled out on the port, and blue bricks were also laid for stacking goods. The goods were stacked neatly and covered with canvas, making the wharf look like a maze.
As early as the east was white, the port came alive.
The laborers who unload and load goods, the sailors who get off the ship to repair the sailors who set off on board, the owner and the captain, and the account offices who hold booklets and points in hand, make the dock full of vitality, demonstrating Chaoyungang's status as the only port thousands of miles away from the north and south coasts.
The sea boat arranged by the government is already waiting on the shore.
Liu Yuande told Fang Chang before that this ship is very reliable because it is a decent man in the court and is found by his own channels. Both the ship and the sailor are very reliable.
Because it is mostly used, this four-masted ship has a very clean appearance. It is leaning against the side of the trestle. A long wooden board with a guardrail is placed on the trestle. Many people are carrying bags and transporting supplies to the ship from another long board without a guardrail.
When they arrived here, the prison cart was naturally gone, and even the shackles were no longer worn by these demoted people. They were thanking and saying goodbye to the guards who were about to leave.
Hu Xueqiu and Liu Xiuwen also came here to thank Fang Chang specifically.
Because of his practice, the white fox demon had a clear perception of movement and stillness outside and knew that he had played a key role.
Fang Changze comforted calmly:
"Don't worry about the road ahead later. Once you get on the boat, it will be safe. As long as you go to sea, they will not be able to find you. Yuande said that when they arrive in southern Xinjiang, they have no intention of targeting you specifically, as long as they can be safe for a while."
"And when he interrogated the big chimpanzee before, it also said that it was the last wave. According to this inference, his words are not false, and he can be believed."
"This time I go to southern Xinjiang, pay attention to preventing miasma, insects and snakes, preventing bad weather, learn local accents as soon as possible, and preventing communication problems... The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and we are destined to see each other again."
After saying that, the two of them saluted each other and then left and boarded the boat.
...
Before leaving, Fang Chang called out to the top Qingling and Liu Yuande and said to them:
"The road behind them is quite smooth, and it can be said to be safe, but." At this point, he paused and looked at the clouds above the two protagonists of the era. The scene of the gathering of wind and clouds became clearer.
Driven by their actions during this period, more people's fate was swept into it. The momentum of this picture was even more grand, and the long-lasting person continued, "You two are different."
“Why?”
Yu Qingling spoke faster, and asked before Liu Yuande who was still thinking.
The two knew that Mr. Fang was a paranormal, so they cared about his guidance very much.
Fang Chang said directly:
"I can see that you will be extremely ups and downs in the future and will always be accompanied by danger. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the center of the turbulent waves in the world, you must be careful."
“!!!”
Liu Yuande and Yu Qingling were shocked.
Then Liu Yuande frowned, and Yu Qingling asked, "Sir, what can you guide us and save us from danger?"
Hearing her question, Fang Chang shook his head and nodded, revealing four words:
"Don't forget your original intention."
When the two heard this, they thought something.
After a few silences, the four-masted ship behind was ready, and someone on the ship began to shout and urge the two leaders, and then they came to their senses.
Fang Chang took out his own knife, took it out and blew it up, and then sheathed the knife. He handed the jade knife to Yu Qingling with the sheath, and said with a smile:
"Qingling, when you are in danger, pull out this knife and throw it out to solve the enemy in front of you. It can be used three times and will return to my own hands afterwards - but at that time, I need to make a new scabbard."
Yu Qingling was very happy and hurriedly took it and thanked him repeatedly.
Then, Fang Chang turned to Liu Yuande again.
