092 The wind blows the ass and cools (please ask for a monthly ticket)
After such a torturous night, the next morning, when the sky was slightly bright and the red sun rose from the sea level, a chorus came from the ship's building:
"It's calm today, auspicious and favorable wind, let's start!!!"
In an instant, thirty oars were protruded from the left and right sides of the hull. Under the command of the dock steward, they slid neatly. The ship slowly left the port and headed northward with the wind.
"Dad, how long does it take to get to Yuyang?" Xu Yue asked curiously, looking at the tortoise-like speed of the big ship.
Xu Da replied uncertainly: "Listen to them, if everything goes well, we can arrive in five or six days."
Xu Yue nodded. It sounded quite fast, much faster than traveling by land.
Just thinking about the scene of so many people on the same boat eating, drinking and eating for five or six days, Xu Yue already felt a strong smell.
No, this is not an illusion, it really has a taste.
There were more than a hundred people sitting on the deck, including adults and children. Adults knew it was shameful, but the children didn't care about you. They pooped after eating. Some of them had already wet themselves before the adults could react.
Pants.
Light yellow water stains were sprinkled on the floor. The adults looked around impatiently. If anyone noticed, they would grab a handful of hay under their buttocks and wipe it. If no one noticed, they would move aside.
Let it dry naturally.
This is considered hygienic awareness, but most people don't have such awareness and just hold their children and solve the problem on the spot.
Forget about children, occasionally there are always a few shameless men lining the side of the deck, shooting thousands of miles into the sea when no one is looking.
When Xu saw it at the beginning of the month, he was dumbfounded. When he saw it again later, he felt numb.
The owner of the big ship didn't care about these things. As a passenger, she should just keep guarding her one-third of an acre of land.
It's just that people have three urgent needs. Even though she had listened to her mother's advice and tried to drink as little water as possible, Xu Yue had reached the limit of her endurance after holding it in for a day.
"Auntie, I have to go to the bathroom." Xu Yue whispered to Wang, who was leaning against the wall, holding her bow and closing her eyes to rest.
Wang opened her eyes and glanced at Xu Erniang. Xu Erniang was concentrating on playing with her newly bought gadgets. When she noticed her mother's gaze, she looked back and raised her eyebrows: Is something wrong?
Xu Yue immediately smiled at her sister, and Xu Erniang reacted, gathering the gadgets and stuffing them into Xu Da's arms beside her, "Dad, show us the seats, and I will go to the hut with you."
Xu Da nodded, and when the mother and daughter stood up, he immediately threw a few bags on the empty seats.
He and Wang Dayou held knives in their arms. Although the sharp edge was hidden by the shabby cloth, it still had a certain deterrent effect. Some people were ready to make a move, but they never dared to step forward.
Wang Dayou asked Junmei and Ajian, who were sleeping in his arms, if they wanted to go to the toilet together. The two siblings shook their heads.
He asked Wang Youliang again, and Wang Youliang also shook his head. He had no desire to urinate yet.
Xu Dalang subconsciously wanted to follow Xu Yue and leave, but Xu Dalang pressed him down, "What's wrong with you, a man, always following your sister? Just stay with me!"
Xu Dalang growled irritably. Seeing that the father and son were about to start fucking, Xu Yue intervened in time and coaxed his brother. Then he turned around helplessly, grabbed his sister, and rushed to the toilet.
The ship's toilet is on the stern deck and is made up of several extended wooden boards. There are five toilets in total, regardless of gender.
The reason why Xu Yue didn't react much when she saw someone pooping and urinating into the sea was precisely because the huts on the ship were treated in this way.
The hut made of several wooden planks was covered only by a curtain. There were two wooden planks under the feet, with a hole in the middle. You could see the surging seawater below at a glance.
The hole is so big that a skinny seven or eight-year-old child could fall right into it accidentally.
While Xu Yue carefully held the wooden boards on both sides to drain the water, she secretly wondered if it was because of such a big hole that those on the deck who wanted to go to the toilet were deterred.
The wind blew her butt cold, Xu Yue quickly resolved the fight, picked up her pants and walked out of the hut.
Xu Erniang followed, followed closely by Wang.
The two sisters stood outside the hut and guarded the door for Grandma. After all, there was no place to fasten the door curtain. There was no one to help guard the door, so there was no sense of security at all.
There were a lot of people on the boat, but there were only five huts, one after another, and it was very lively.
Fortunately, the wind was strong on the bow of the ship, and the salty smell of sea water drifted into the nose, so the people waiting in front of the door did not feel uncomfortable.
Xu Yue and Xu Erniang were guarding the door boredly, looking here and there, when they suddenly saw several men dressed as guards rushing towards them, supporting a middle-aged man.
As the group rushed to the toilet, they shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Get out of the way quickly!"
The neat queue outside the latrine was instantly disrupted. A group of guards helped the middle-aged man come forward. Wang just walked out of the latrine. The middle-aged man immediately broke away from the guards' hands and rushed into the latrine holding his stomach.
Xu Yue raised her head slightly and happened to meet the man with a disheveled face. Both of them were startled.
"Gulu~" A muffled sound came from the man's abdomen, and his pale face with scars suddenly changed drastically. He quickly lowered the straw curtain to block out the probing eyes.
The guards came later, drove Xu Yue and others away, and guarded the door curtain.
Wang held one in each hand and stayed away. The look between Xu Yue and the scar-faced man came to mind, and she lowered her head and asked:
"Have you seen it?"
Xu Yue nodded, beckoned her to bend down, and whispered in her ear: "He is the slave trader who sold Wang Youliang to me. His name is Gongsun Hao. I didn't expect that he was also on the ship."
"But looking at his appearance just now, the diarrhea was a bit serious..." Xu Yue muttered in a low voice.
After Wang heard her daughter's words, she looked at the guards uniformly wearing thin armor and holding steel knives. Without asking any more questions, she led Xu Yue and Xu Erniang back to their original seats.
They wouldn't have much interaction with people like Gongsun Hao, so naturally they wouldn't pay too much attention to each other's situation.
The mother and daughter returned to their seats, only mentioned the incident of seeing Gongsun Hao, and stopped talking about him.
However, not long after she sat down under the seat, Xu Yue discovered that there were many more people going to the latrine.
Several people went there three times within an hour, seemingly suffering from diarrhea.
Everyone eats and drinks on the boat, and the sanitary conditions are worrying.
It is the first time for many people to sit on a boat for such a long time. They have no experience at all and do not know that they need to prepare sufficient fresh water at sea.
After you drink all the water on your body, you can only buy it from the ship dealer at a high price.
The water was brought directly from the river or well and put in large wooden barrels. The passengers on the deck did not have the conditions to boil it, or they did not have the awareness to drink the old water directly, which could easily lead to problems.
At first, Xu Yue didn't pay special attention.
However, there were not many people buying water, and more and more people went to the toilet. Until a fight broke out outside the hut, and there were screams of someone falling into the sea, and she suddenly felt something was wrong.
