"On November 12, the 21st year of Beili, the Qingzhou Mufu Jincuo sailed to Sanshe Island for the first day. There was a breeze, the sky was clear, and the sailing speed was sixty miles. Before departure, he met the sword supervisor of the five great supervisors of Tianqi.

Eunuch Jinwei stopped him, but the captain Mu Chunfeng and his companions Tang Lian, Xiao Se, Lei Wujie, and Sikong Qianluo joined forces to retreat with Eunuch Jinxuan, and the Jin Cuo finally sailed out. Everything on the other ships was normal. Author: Qingzhou Mu

Mr. Tian Mozhi, the shopkeeper of Jinyan Mansion." The man who looked like a bookkeeper sat on the deck and wrote these lines. He put the booklet into a golden box that he had with him and carefully covered the box.

Lei Wujie, who was standing aside and watching the excitement, asked curiously: "Is it necessary to write such things at sea?"

The shopkeeper named Tian Mozhi looked at Lei Wujie and said, "That's natural. There will be a responsible person on each ship to keep records. One record is made every day, which is called a maritime record."

"What's the use of this thing? Are you going to show it to the big boss?" Lei Wujie still didn't understand.

"Do you know this box? This is called the Thousand Machine Box. It will not get wet when it is flooded, and the sword will keep cutting. If there is any accident at sea in the future, we will be buried in this boundless sea. When one day, someone salvages this box, then as long as

We can know what happened to us at sea by opening the box. Then even if we die, others will remember what happened to us." Tian Mozhi explained, "This is the Thousand Machine Box made by our Mu Mansion, and it only has two keys.

, one for Mu Mansion, and one for me."

"Oh, this box still has this function. But will the majestic cedar longship of Mu Mansion in Qingzhou also encounter mishaps at sea?" Lei Wujie asked confused.

"In front of nature, we are all equal. No matter whether it is the richest man in Qingzhou or the Xiao family in Tianqi, we are all very small existences on the sea. The world is vast, and we are all ants." Tian Mozhi raised his head and said.

"Sir's words do have some profound meaning." Lei Wujie said with emotion.

"But compared to natural disasters, people's hearts are more terrifying at sea." Tian Mozhi suddenly said.

"People's hearts?" Lei Wujie was puzzled.

Tian Mozhi nodded: "People's hearts. You said we are Qingzhou Mu Mansion, but if life and death are in front of you, who will care about your identity? If there is a sudden change at sea, the ship is destroyed and everyone is killed, and a small boat can escape

There is only one boat left, and it can only seat one person, but there are two people waiting, and one of them is from Mu Mansion in Qingzhou. Do you think that the second person will kill the people from Mu Mansion with one sword, or because he is rich?

Give up the boat?"

Lei Wujie thought for a moment: "I think the swords must be facing each other."

"Yes, so young people, please be careful on the ship." Tian Mozhi put away the machine box and walked into the cabin.

After he walked away, Xiao Se, who had just been standing aside without speaking, finally spoke: "It turns out that he is Tian Mozhi, the shopkeeper of Jin Yan in Mu Mansion. It seems that Mu Mansion values ​​this third young master very much and sent him to accompany him."

"Shopkeeper Jin Yan? Are you very powerful?" Lei Wujie shrugged, "I feel like an old gentleman who likes to preach."

"Qingzhou Mu Mansion has many industries and has hundreds of shopkeepers. Only the best ones who master the largest industries can become the shopkeepers with the title. There are only seven people in the whole Mu Mansion. These seven people are called the seven shopkeepers of Mu Mansion. Any one of them is called the Seven Shopkeepers of Mu Mansion.

Anyone can become a giant businessman." Xiao Se said.

"So powerful?" Lei Wujie was stunned for a moment. At first, he thought the other party was just an ordinary accountant, but he didn't expect that he had such a big background.

"And among the seven shopkeepers, he is still a very special one." Xiao Se continued.

Lei Wujie was a little helpless: "Xiao Se, can you finish what you said in one go?"

Xiao Se rolled his eyes at him and continued: "Ten years ago, Tian Mozhi, the shopkeeper of Jinyan, was not that famous. He once went abroad with a merchant ship. The ship departed from Liyang Port in the south and went to the northernmost port.

Tianhai Port, wanting to do business with Beiman. However, after the original one-month sailing period, the ship did not come. It was not until three months later that the ship appeared. Only the hundreds of people on board were only

There was only one person left, and no bones of the others were left. It is said that at that time, Tian Mozhi was already emaciated and was only a hair away from death."

"Why?" Lei Wujie was surprised.

"Tian Mozhi said that there was a rebellion on the boat. Some low-level fishermen wanted to hijack the boat, so there were several fires on the boat. Many people died, and the remaining people also died due to wound infection.

Tian Mozhi escaped because he hid in advance. But this was just his one-sided statement. People in Tianhai Maritime Mansion suspected that he had killed those people," Xiao Se said.

"Why?" Lei Wujie was surprised again.

"Don't keep asking why, you look like an idiot." Xiao Se glanced at him coldly.

"Then just finish your sentence at once." Lei Wujie said angrily.

Xiao Se ignored him and continued: "Because not a single body of the people on the ship was left, and the water on the ship had long been gone. People in the Tianhai Maritime Administration suspected that he killed the people on the ship and thought they were

food."

Lei Wujie's eyes widened: "How is this possible? There are so many fish in the sea, how can they starve to death?"

"The key is not food, but water. If there are continuous sunny days without rain on the sea, people without fresh water will soon die of thirst. What to do if there is no water? There is one thing that can replace water, and that is - blood." Xiao Se couldn't help but think.

Lowered his voice.

Lei Wujie was stunned for a moment, frowning slightly, as if he still didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Se's words.

"But later, the Mu Mansion sent someone to the Tianhai Maritime Mansion. The man took the key and opened the thousand machine box. In the box was the maritime record written by the transcriber who finally fell ill and died, recording the mutiny on the ship.

It's clear. Except for Tian Mozhi who hid in advance, everyone else is either dead or seriously injured. However, the doctor on the ship is also dead, and no one can save them." Xiao Se said, "So I said Tian Mozhi

It's very special. After experiencing such a terrible thing, no one understands the ship and the people on the ship better than him."

"But?" Lei Wujie frowned slightly, "There seems to be one question that remains unanswered."

"What's the question?" This time it was Xiao Se who asked the question.

Lei Wujie hesitated for a moment, then said: "How did he survive without food or water?"

Xiao Se was helpless: "Think about it again." Lei Wujie was startled, and there were waves of nausea in his chest. The two of them were silent for a long time, and finally Xiao Se sighed: "There are some things that you should not do.

It’s good to study it thoroughly.”

Lei Wujie recalled how Tian Mozhi was writing the maritime records one stroke at a time, and he shuddered involuntarily.
