On February 2nd, the dragon raised its head.

With the arrival of another trade season, the port of Linyungang is gradually flourishing.

At the pier.

A large number of laborers shouted, carrying boxes of goods on their backs and transporting them to various large-wing merchant ships.

Heiji took a load of raw silk onto the deck. After he got off, he was already panting like a dog. Looking at Xiong Hei holding two large wooden boxes in his hand, his face was not red and he was not angry. He couldn't help but feel jealous and said in his heart: 'You Xiong Heizi, you deserve to be a coolie for the rest of your life!'

"Everything is faster, don't miss the time!"

On the big wings, Qin Feiyu took a group of brothers to patrol and supervise meticulously.

Hei Er looked at this scene and couldn't help but be envious: "This group of masters can actually take advantage of the Gongsun Chamber of Commerce. I will definitely send it this time... Unfortunately, if I had known this, I would have to serve that young master even if I had sold myself."

Xiong Hei next to him raised his neck, drank cold water, rolled his eyes, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to him.

After all, Heiji was a very active person and poked Xiong Hei: "What did you move just now?"

"Copper coins, copper blocks, used to press the basin!" Xiong Hei stared and said, "Don't you work yet?"

"Tsk tsk..."

After hearing this, Hei Er followed the black bear and was still talking: "What a pity... Bear Heizi, what a good opportunity, why don't you cherish it?"

...

In the cabin of the large wing.

"Owner of the Wu Ship, this time I go to sea, I will ask you to take care of me!"

Duan Yu looked at the ship owner in front of him. The man's surname was Wu, and he was nicknamed Lao Aconitou. He was in his fifties. His face became a healthy bronze color because he was basking in the sun all year round. His temples were slightly frosted, his lips were very thin, and he had the unique atmosphere of an old sea dog.

"Where is the young master's distinguished guest, and the young man should do his best to serve him... It's just the young master's hand?"

The old aconite rubbed his hands, and a light seemed to flash in his eyes.

"Of course it's up to you to command!" Duan Yu waved his hand generously.

It is good to have a large wing that can carry hundreds of people, but only pirate ships do this. Usually, more than a dozen sailors can start to move, or prepare more than a dozen sailors to row the oar.

For safety reasons, the Gongsun Chamber of Commerce arranged fifty sailors on each large wing, including even the guards.

The sailors at the sea had to stand up and fight to the death when they met pirates.

In this way, there are 500 people in ten ships, and even if they encounter pirate ships, they can compete.

However, Duan Yu's ship was a bit special. Lao Aconitou only brought his nineteen subordinates, and the rest were sailors recruited by Duan Yu himself.

I ate Duan Yu’s rice and received the rewards he gave, so I naturally listened to him.

However, Duan Yu still respects the opinions of experts when it comes to sailing. In fact, he hopes that Qin Feiyu and others will be ordered to learn something better.

Going overseas at this time, especially the Chamber of Commerce, is a very serious matter.

A few days ago, Gongsun Xiaobai ordered people to sacrifice to sea gods at all levels according to the rules, and then divined the appropriate time to leave the port.

Until today, I put on offerings such as pigs, cattle and sheep, burned incense and prayed, threw them into the sea, and then ordered them to set sail.

In an instant, ten large wings extended their oars and quickly sailed away from the port. The sails gradually rose, like a white cloud moving away.

Even though this fleet was very famous throughout Linyungang, it immediately attracted many people to stop and watch, some envy and some worry.

The pursuit of wealth at sea will never stop.

The danger and death brought about by this can only be borne by each person.

"The sea...I'm here!"

Standing on the deck, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling the refreshing breeze with a slight salty smell, Duan Yu couldn't help but murmur.

The clouds in the Yunlan Continent are treacherous, and chaos is right in front of you.

If you want to take advantage of the situation and avenge your grudges, you must successfully get the most bargaining chips in this huge bet in the East China Sea!

...

Real sailing on the sea is very boring.

Not to mention in ancient times, the restrictions on water alone were very strict. Basically, if God did not give him mercy and there was no need to take a bath if it rained heavily, so soon the smell on the boat was very bad, which forced Duan Yu to paste the talismans such as "clean clothes" and "clean air" in his own cabin.

Oh, on this ship, only he and the old aconite were treated as a separate cabin. They were very narrow and closed, and it was even hard to even turn around.

Once you encounter wind and waves, it will shake even more at night, making it difficult to sleep.

As for the daily food, it is also very monotonous and simple, and there is no trace of green, which can easily cause sailors to suffer from scurvy if the voyage is longer.

Fortunately, Duan Yu, the real person of the Yuanshen, has great use at this time.

After he did the method to dispel the disease and epidemic, he has been on the boat for a month, but no crew member has lost his staff due to illness. It is simply incredible.

At least the old aconite was even more respectful to Duan Yu after seeing him several times.

The weather is clear and endless.

Duan Yu came to the deck and saw the blue sea water on all sides, and couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, the scenery looked good, but after a month of looking, it could drive people crazy, especially it was easy for people to feel the illusion that they kept staying still.

At this moment, the ship in front suddenly whispered flags.

The old aconite climbed up the mast and saw it, and immediately became excited: "Sir... I'm going to a supply island in our chamber of commerce in front."

The scattered islands scattered on the ocean are simply a gift from heaven to the sailing fleet.

Especially the islands that have been explored, as markers, can give this fleet great confidence at least they have not had a trek.

According to Lao Aconitou, although the island is not big, only one village or so, it has a clean water source. During the previous few times they sailed, they also buried some supplies here. Some wild animals and lettuce on the island can even add extra meals to the evening.

Soon, a small island appeared in Duan Yu's sight.

The white beach was spotless, and even Qin Feiyu couldn't help but cheer, took off his shoes and swam to the shore, feeling the delicate touch from the soles of his feet, almost moved to shed tears.

If you don’t sail on the sea for a long time, you don’t know the value of stepping on land.

"Haha...Young Master, look, there are also sea turtles!"

The old aconite was very happy and asked the sailor to catch the millstone-sized turtles, and put them on the boat with all their legs facing the sky and earth, explaining: "The next month's fresh meat depends on them!"

Duan Yu was stunned: "Do you want to eat turtle meat?"

"Of course, this kind of turtle can live for a long time. It's a delicious gift from heaven when you want to eat fresh meat!"

"Well……"

Just as he was speechless, another servant came over and asked Duan Yu to go to Gongsun Xiaobai's place.

Because of the rest of his life, the ships had already been anchored. Other sailors took swords, guns, bows and arrows and drilled into the mountains and forests. Not long after, they caught some small beasts and placed them on the bonfire to barbecue.

In addition, a large number of wild vegetables and mushrooms were collected. After the doctor on board, he checked them out and removed some poisons. All the rest were cooked in several large pots, and a group of sailors were eating and drinking happily.

Compared to them, Gongsun Xiaobai was doing very well even while sailing.

At this time, he ordered his servant to lay a wool blanket on the ground, and a maid was cooking tea next to him. When he saw Duan Yu, his eyes lit up and invited him, "Brother Duan, how about you taste the tea?"

There is a lot of low-alcohol wine stored in the cabin, because the wine is not easy to deteriorate than clean water, so it is not that convenient to cook tea.

Duan Yu took the teacup and there was a snack from the maid in front of him. However, the sailors were beyond the reach of such enjoyment.

However, in this world and in this era, the superiors and inferiors and hierarchies are inevitable.

"Speaking of this, it's also a blessing for Brother Duan. This month has been smooth sailing, without any storms and epidemics..." Gongsun Xiaobai took a sip of tea and immediately came to the main topic: "But the next section of sea route will be very dangerous."

"Oh? I hope to hear it carefully!"

Duan Yu was a little energetic and sat upright.

"The route from Linyungang to Izumo Country has been running for more than ten years. When will the storm blow and where there are reefs... are all clear, but the only thing that cannot be understood is the migration rules of the monsters on the sea! There are also pirates!"

Gongsun Xiaobai said solemnly: "The monsters and monsters are all wise, and they have no rules to follow. The same is true for pirates. But the second half of the route is about to reach the multiple stages of these two disasters."

"Are the monsters... and the pirates?"

"The pirates are OK. At least we have ten big wings and there is no burden like Ming Tun, so we may not dare to provoke them! But the monster may not be."

The average pirate ship has about a hundred people, and the fleet of five hundred people is really unbearable.

Of course, if you are not lucky and encounter a few pirates joining together to do this business, or simply be targeted by those big pirates with dozens of ships, it can only be considered as Gongsun Xiaobai's back.

And what is more dangerous than these are the monsters!

Pirates may only be interested in property ships. If they find noble people, they will also capture them and blackmail their family.

But monsters are different! They are full of hatred for humans and will attack ships from time to time. If they encounter such a particularly huge body, a large wing may be knocked over!

In the vast ocean, this is not much different from death.

If you encounter a monster, the same ends. Maybe the whole ship will be sucked away from the flesh and blood, leaving only an empty ghost ship!

"I wonder which monsters in the next sea area are so dangerous?"

Duan Yu's expression tightened.

Even if it was him, it would be very stressful to survive in this vast ocean.
