Chapter 341 Going To Sea (1/2)

There are five people on the deck of the sailing boat, three of which are sailors, one is the captain, and one is the passenger.

There were six people in the cabin, most of whom were staff members, and two were the family members of the passenger on the deck.

In addition to the task of voyage and fishing, the ship also brought three special passengers.

They wore expensive materials and well-tailed clothes, and judging from the sailors' attitude towards this family, their status is either rich or noble.

At this time, the middle-aged male passenger on the deck was holding the railing with his hands and talking to the sailor.

Huang Si listened from afar, and what they were talking about was nothing more than some trivial matters.

During the conversation, I only knew that the ship was rented by this man named Gu Jing.

Gu Jing did not get on the boat alone, but brought two family members, one of his son and the other of his nephew.

"I don't need to eavesdrop, either, but if I descend to ask questions openly, it will inevitably disturb these people and it will not be convenient for me to ask questions."

Huang thought about it and immediately had an idea.

At this time, on the sailing boat, the three of Gu family were left on the deck, with only Gu Jing.

"We have been going to sea for two days and the journey is still long."

The sea breeze blew the corners of his robe, and the salty foam hit him.

Although the hull was slightly shaking, Gu Jing stood steadily, and he could tell that his martial arts were good.

"This time, with the crystal tube provided by Mr. Gu, I believe I can go to a farther place to explore."

The old sailor with a wrinkled face and a blue turban said.

"But now that the storm is gradually rising, please be careful."

"It's okay, this little storm cannot throw me off the boat."

Gu Jing shook his head and continued to stay on the deck.

He held a bamboo tube in his hand and looked into the distance through the crystal lens inside the bamboo tube.

He also gave the captain one of this thing.

The waves are rising and falling between the sea and the sky, and the vision is not good, but it can be seen that there is nothing unusual.

At this time, the captain with a little belly and wearing a lambskin suit also came over.

"Mr. Gu, are you still used to living on the boat?"

"Fortunately, I have already made plans to suffer when I go to sea this time. Unexpectedly, the food on the boat is quite sumptuous."

The captain smiled and said, "Mr. Gu's family is our distinguished guest. What's more, Mr. Gu also gave us such a useful crystal tube, which can see the distance, making us much safer."

"I hope Mr. Gu can make more and sell it to us in the future, and I can introduce it to my colleagues."

Gu Jing nodded and said, "It's okay, but this time, I hope to sail further. I went back in just six days when I went to sea. This time, I want to explore the east."

The captain said: "The water we brought this time is enough for ten days to go back and forth. If we can find a place to replenish it, it can last longer. However, it is boring at sea, and Mr. Gu may not find what he wants to find..."

Gu Jing smiled bitterly and said, "I understand the captain's meaning. If you still can't find the island or water source in ten days, you will be back."

The captain said a few more words to him and left.

Gu Jing looked at the sky, and it was a little cloudy. I wonder what the weather would be like in a few days.

I hope it can clear up. If it is a sunny day, it will be easier to find something if you see it far.

He is in his forties and I don’t know how many years he can live. I really want to see the overseas world when he is still alive...

Gu Jing looked into the distance, and his mood fluctuated with the waves.

Just as he was pondering alone at the bow of the boat, suddenly, a low dull sound came from somewhere, and the entire hull shook slightly.

If it is an ordinary person, it may be considered as the normal shaking of the ship. However, as a master, Gu Jing has a sharper sense than that of ordinary people, and he soon discovered this abnormality.

Did the ship encounter something?

This large sailboat only has some internal cabin windows on its flanks, which are far from the water surface. In addition, it is very smooth overall. If it hits something, it is mostly a reef or a large fish. Neither of them is a good thing, and it may cause a shipwreck.

There are some small boats on the big ship, but if it is really a shipwreck, it will probably be difficult for them to go back.

At this time, sailors were already shouting below.

At first, there were only one person calling, but then there were several people.

What they shouted was: "Crashed the boat!"

"There are people on the boat!"

"Quick! Go down and save people!"

"Let the captain stabilize the hull! Don't hit it again!"

Gu Jing came down from the bow of the boat and went to the side to check.

There were two sailors standing here, and a little further downwards were exploring downwards at the window of the cabin.

Follow his sight and look down.

Sure enough, a brown boat was vaguely floating among the continuous waves.

It exposed half of the hull for a while, and was covered by the big waves.

The boat was very small and had already overturned. It could be seen that there was a person beside the boat. The man climbed the hull in a mess and was barely swept away by the waves.

Gu Jing had a little doubt in his heart: "I have been watching the sea, but was there this boat and this person on the sea just now?"

This thought just flashed through his mind.

A sailor threw out a lasso with a tied rope ring from the window.

The boat was full of old sailors. When the rope circle was thrown away, it landed on the half of the boat with a very accurate look.

The people on the boat also noticed them, barely stretched out their arms, trying to reach the lasso.

Gu Jing and the sailors stared at him intently, fearing that he would not be able to catch him.

The man tried several times and finally grabbed the rope ring.

He didn't seem to have much strength and put it on several times before he put the rope around his waist.

On the big boat, the sailors shouted in unison and pulled the man to the side of the boat. Another sailor put a rope around his waist, went down, and carried him up.

The man looked in a bad condition, with many scratches on his body and his fingers swollen. He obviously had been floating in the sea for a long time.

As soon as he got on the boat, he shivered, and an old sailor quickly wrapped him with the dry sheets.

He thanked him.

At this time, the small boat below hit the big boat again, and immediately broke into a pile of broken wood pieces and was buried in the sea.

"You are so lucky. If you get hit, you will be half your life even if you don't die." said a sailor.

The sailors took him to the cabin.

When Gu Jing saw him again, he was already sitting in the cabin and drinking with a group of sailors.

The man changed into sailor's clothes and someone brought him a bowl of strong wine. He drank it without hesitation, winning the sensation of the sailors around him.

At sea, men, as long as they have wine, there is nothing they can't say.

When Gu Jing came over, an old sailor patted the man on the shoulder and introduced to Gu Jing:

"Mr. Gu, this is Brother Huang. He went out to sea to fish and was drifting away when he encountered the wind and waves."

Another sailor put his shoulder and said:
