200.The boat is lost(1/2)
The all-metal cartridge case reminds you: please collect it after reading it.
As Yunsong expected.
The wave-riding boat travels fully automatically, as long as there is someone at the helm.
The sneakiness under the water drives the wave-riding boats forward. They cannot control the direction, and they will not control the direction. Anyway, they will run wherever the rudder points.
Yun Song originally wanted to hire a veteran at sea to control the rudder, but Hu Jinzi said no, he would control this traditional lucky boat.
And Yun Song let him try it out, and he really managed the ship well.
Hu Jinzi said that he went out to sea with his good brother. His good brother was a good sailor. He gave him a few tips and he learned to sail.
Of course, going to the sea is no joke. It is true that Hu Jinzi can sail a boat, but he is a second-hand man. He does not understand the conditions of the sea and has no experience in life on the water.
So Yunsong still had to hire someone to be the captain of the ship.
Liu Zhuangying helped him and introduced two Dan people to him as helpers.
The Dan people are the descendants of the ancient Yue people. They have been wandering on the sea all year round. They were born on the boat, ate, drank and died on the boat. They got married on the boat and lived on the boat.
Ordinary people get seasick and water-sick when going on a boat, but Dan people are on the contrary, they get land-sick, and they only feel dizzy after setting foot on land.
So the brothers were not in Yongcheng, and Yun Song had to go to a place called Changbo Island to find them.
Changbo Island is one of the overseas islands. It is a mixed place with dragons and snakes, including gangsters, pirates from all walks of life, and countless fugitives from various countries who have committed crimes.
Of course, there is a market where there are people, and there are many merchants there, the most of whom are underwater treasure hunters.
There are two types of people fishing for treasures, one is called fishing alive and the other is fishing dead.
Those who fish live are all living animals or take treasures from the mouths of living animals, such as sea cucumbers, abalones, pearls and even luminous pearls. The most powerful among them are called Lishou. According to legend, these people can get pearls from the mouths of dragons.
Another type is dead fishing. Dead fishing is very simple, it means fishing things out of sunken ships.
However, shipwrecks are very evil. A ship will not sink for no reason. It will either be hit by a storm at sea or persecuted by sea monsters.
No matter what the situation is, there will always be resentful souls on this ship, so fishing for life is very dangerous.
But as the saying goes, high risk and high return, once you find a good boat, you can often make a lot of money that will last a lifetime.
Yunsong and the others followed several ships bound for the East and rushed to Changbo Island.
Changbo Island is located between Kyushu and Japan, and is considered a supply point.
When he went out to sea, Yun Song thought that Changbo Island was just a small island, such as the main island of the Nansha Islands, with an area of less than one square kilometer.
In fact, Changbo Island is really such a small island, small in size but with a large population.
Its geographical location is very advantageous. Most of the area is deep water. Large ships can dock in these waters, so a large number of ships are parked on Changbo Island.
Yun Song and others docked at the pier, and everywhere they could see were boats of all sizes and busy people.
These people unloaded things on the island, including fresh water, meat, vegetables, grain and even people!
Many people were sent to the island, mostly women who had lost their feet.
There are fugitives from various countries on the island. Most of these people are rich and energetic, and have a strong demand for women.
Yun Song and others got off the boat and blended into the bustling crowd. The boat owner next to them shouted: "Hey, is this your first time coming to Changbo Island?"
Hu Jinzi said: "Yes."
The ship boss said: "No wonder!"
He still wanted to speak, but someone next to him whispered something. He looked at Yun Song and others in embarrassment, shook his head and went back to work.
Yun Song became wary and asked, "What do you think he means?"
Hu Jinzi said: "I think he wanted to warn us that something went wrong when we stopped or disembarked."
Yun Song said with appreciation: "It's up to you to talk nonsense."
Abao stood beside him with Linghu Yuan on his shoulders. After drifting on the sea, he was full of longing for land.
The dock was bustling with businessmen, travelers, and workers, but the group could not find anyone they could trust to ask them what the problem was.
However, they can ask about the two Dan people introduced to them by Liu Zhuangying. They are a pair of brothers, the eldest brother is named Chang Zhou and the younger brother is named Ci Tong.
This point is very simple. Hu Jinzi called his eldest brother to ask a few people, and soon someone said: "Look for the two Bigfoot brothers. It's easy. Go to the Junbo Tavern. The two brothers are probably drinking in the pub at this time."
"
There are many taverns on the island, so they asked around and found Junbo Tavern.
The pubs are almost full of locals - it's easy to tell the difference between locals and outsiders, just look at the hygiene conditions.
Regardless of whether the locals are dressed in rags or neatly dressed, their hygienic conditions are very poor, and their bodies smell of sweat and sweat.
Because the fresh water in Changbo Island is too scarce, there are only a few small springs, which cannot meet the draft problem of the whole island, let alone washing and bathing?
Occasionally, there are a few people who don't smell bad, but they still have a fishy smell. When these people flutter their clothes, the salt particles fall off.
They use sea water to wash clothes.
There are many halogens in the sea water, so washing clothes will damage the cotton. However, some people wear clothes just like rags. You don’t need to cherish these, so you can wash them casually and wear them as long as you can survive.
On the other hand, the sanitary condition of the entire island is pretty good. They use seawater to flush the island, and there are dedicated people carrying water to flush it continuously every day, so there is not much accumulation of dirt and debris.
The smell of alcohol was unavoidable in the tavern, so Yun Song went in holding his nose.
Before he could inquire, two middle-aged black men came up to him: "Ninth Young Master?"
Yun Song asked: "Are you brothers Chang Zhou and Ci Tong?"
The two brothers are about the same age, or maybe they have dark skin that makes them look older, so it's hard to tell the difference in age.
Their appearance is different from that of the Han people. They all have large foreheads, high cheekbones and slender eyes. In addition, their bodies are short and their legs are long and their feet are large. Their body shape looks a bit like frogs.
As soon as the two parties contacted each other, they quickly determined each other's identities.
Changzhou said: "Brother Liu said that you should come to Changbo Island today. We have been waiting here in the morning, and sure enough we are waiting for you."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yun Song asked: "Did Liu Zhuangying bring you a message?"
He didn't believe there was a phone on the island!
As a result, Changzhou said: "We have a radio here."
Yunsong was stunned.
He forgot about this incident.
Liu Zhuangying wrote him a letter of introduction. Changzhou went to look at it and said, "Ten silver dollars per person a day. Is it okay for Master Ninth?"
Yunsong said happily: "No problem."
The wage is very high. In a big city like Shanghai, an ordinary female worker can only earn two or three silver dollars a month.
But for Changbo Island, this price is unusual.
It was common to pay ten silver dollars for a day out at sea, especially since Yunsong was going to the Sea of Destiny, so the Changzhou brothers asked for a friendship price for the sake of Liu Zhuangying.
Because vegetables and meat are not produced on Changbo Island and water is scarce, prices on the island are very high. A jar of bad wine costs one silver dollar, and a roast chicken costs one silver dollar.
From this point of view, the Changzhou brothers wanted to accompany him to risk their lives in the sea, and then only earn ten roast chickens on Changbo Island a day. This price was really cheap.
Da Benxiang and others were tempted after learning about the prices on the island, and said: "This Changbo Island is simply a place full of gold. Why are you going to risk fishing for sea treasures when you get here? You can become a dealer selling cloth, grain, and wine!"
Changzhou smiled and said: "You have a good idea, but if it is so good, wouldn't others think of it?"
"Those who can do business on this island are all powerful people, let alone you people. The Lingnan water thieves once relied on their army to monopolize the business on Changbo Island. What happened? Their army mutinied and wanted to come to Changbo Island to rob business people.
All dead!"
Yun Song asked: "Is the mutiny in their army related to the people on Changbo Island?"
Ci Tong nodded silently.
It was a clear day and the security on the island was pretty good.
No one fought in the street or attacked each other. Everyone kept their distance vigilantly and calmly.
No one provoked Yun Song and others because they were visitors from out of town, but many people stared at them.
Some of the looks are scary.
Changzhou said: "The weather is okay now. Let's replenish the supplies you consumed before on the island and then go out to sea. You can't stay on the island overnight."
Yunsong asked: "Is it dangerous at night on the island?"
Changzhou approached him and said: "Have you seen those people who have been peeking at you? Unless you scare them now with your strength or let them know that you have a backer, they will not let you survive tonight!"
The big elephant was surprised: "The security on the island seems to be pretty good."
"It's daytime." Changzhou said seriously, "It's daytime!"
"Do you know how tigers hunt in the mountains?"
Hu Jinzi said: "You are right to ask. I understand this. To hunt, a tiger must first approach its prey quietly and then make a sudden attack."
"Yes, they try to kill their prey with one blow, right?" Changzhou asked again.
Hu Jinzi said: "I understand what you mean. You mean that it is not convenient to attack us during the day."
