The captain is Shen Yanqing's close confidant Qi Yuanlang, who also came out of the secret guard camp. He is young and has just grown up, but he has a very calm temperament and has never made any mistakes in his work. This is why Shen Yanqing is worried about his young age. The reason why I became a captain at such an early age.
Life at sea is very hard, especially for the young ladies who have grown up pampered and have never experienced hardship. Fresh water at sea is a rare thing, and they have to be eaten and drank in dosages, let alone bathing.
They had been on the ship for more than half a month without taking a shower, and their hair became greasy.
Jiang Miao herself was only willing to wipe it with a handkerchief. Except for the few days when she first came to Dayan, she had never been so sloppy as now.
Jiang Xuan wrapped her hair with a scarf and kept it out of sight.
After what happened in Li County, she grew up rapidly and was no longer as innocent and savage as before. Jiang Miao was happy for her, but also felt sorry for her.
"Xuan'er, come here and eat some fruit."
She put several boxes of green mangoes on the boat and kept them on ice. Anyway, she brought enough saltpeter, so there would be no shortage of ice cubes along the way.
Fruit is a rare thing at sea. Jiang Miao's boxes of green mangoes are simply luxuries for their journey. If they are tired of seafood, some green mangoes dipped in chili salt will make people feel much refreshed.
"Princess, how long until we reach Luoguo?"
Jiang Xuan was a little seasick. She vomited all day long when she first got on the ship. Although she was feeling better these days, she still felt dizzy from time to time and just wanted to stand on land as soon as possible.
Jiang Miao also felt uncomfortable, but it would take at least three months to travel from Qiongzhou to Luoguo. It had only been half a month now, so it was still early.
However, although they still have to walk for a long time, they can rest and resupply on other small islands along the way.
The experienced navigation master of the Chen family told Jiang Miao about the distribution of the surrounding islands. He knew which ones were desert islands and which ones were inhabited. Jiang Miao also drew a map and showed it to Jiang Miao. Xuan look.
"This is the closest to us. We'll be there in two days' walk. We'll stay ashore for a few days before setting off."
She now needs to wash her hair and take a bath, and she also needs to pack some drinking water to take with her.
Jiang Xuan became excited when she heard that she would be able to dock soon.
She touched her hair, which was wrapped in a scarf, and smiled a little silly.
"To be honest, Princess, this is the first time I've been in such a mess, but after walking for so many days, I don't feel bad at all."
The education she had received since she was a child was that women should stay at home and stay at home. Although Chen loved her, she would not be allowed to go out on the streets alone. Jiang Xuan never thought that one day she would be able to go to sea, and it would also be related to the national destiny of Dayan. business.
Jiang Xuan looked at the boundless sea and her mind became broader.
The princess is right, as long as she leaves the boudoir, a woman can have a vast world.
The ship sailed for two days and finally docked at the island.
There are not many aborigines on this island. They should be the people who lived here before and slowly multiplied and multiplied, gradually forming such a small tribe.
The life on the island is relatively closed, and they probably haven't seen a stranger for a long time. When they saw the ship docking, a group of aborigines looked at them warily with harpoons in their hands.
Although Jiang Miao and the others were dirty and dirty after wandering for more than half a month, their beautiful faces could not be concealed. When these thin-faced aborigines saw them, they thought they were seeing fairies descending to earth, and they all threw away their harpoons. Kneel down.
"Ula Ula..."
Jiang Miao looked at them in bewilderment as they knelt down to her and spoke words she couldn't understand. Princess Rongning was at a loss for words.
"What are they talking about?"
Jiang Xuan approached her and asked quietly.
Jiang Miao shook her head, she couldn't understand foreign languages.
But looking at the expressions of these aborigines, one can guess that they probably regard them as gods.
It seems that the aboriginal people on this island are not yet civilized. Compared to the poor Qiongzhou City, they can be called barbarians.
"Princess Princess, I'm going to ask their leader if we can stay here for two days."
Chen Liu, the sailing master of the Chen family, stepped forward and said that he had been to this island before, but it was only ten years ago, but he had learned a few words on the island and could barely communicate with others.
"good."
At this time, Jiang Miao also saw how important it was to bring experienced masters with them when going to sea. Otherwise, due to the language barrier, they would have no choice but to fight with these aborigines.
At this time, two well-dressed men and women were sitting in the leader's house.
The leader of the tribe is a man in his forties. No one on the island can weave, so they all wear clothes woven from animal skins or leaves.
As a tribal leader, the animal skin on his body is a symbol of status.
However, the leader Dae treated the men and women in front of him with respect, even a bit of humility.
"Sir, all the young and strong men in the tribe have been gathered, and they are all at your disposal."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
The man above him spoke back. He was hidden in the darkness, his handsome face expressionless.
The woman next to her looked excited. She stretched out her hand to grab the man's sleeve, but he dodged it.
A flash of disappointment flashed in the woman's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, with a smile still on her face.
"Feng Lian, can we set off now?"
These two people were Feng Lian and Jiang Ru. Jiang Ru didn't even have a baby after giving birth, so Tuoba Mingge asked her to prepare to go to sea. She felt resentful in her heart, but she still obeyed on the surface.
Fortunately, Feng Lian was among the people who went to sea. Jiang Ru didn't know the origin of this man. He was fished out of the sea by Tuoba Mingge three years ago and has been staying on the island like a transparent man.
It's just that he has good looks. Jiang Ru has been unwilling to accept being ignored by Tuoba Mingge and wants to get preference from other men.
Feng Lian is low-key and doesn't talk much, but he is reliable in his work. Tuoba Mingge trusts him very much. Jiang Ru has been following him for three years and finally found a chance to be alone this time.
She and Feng Lian went to Luoguo together. Tuoba Mingge only gave them a boat, and they had to find the people they wanted to go to sea with on their own.
Jiang Ru followed Feng Lian to all the surrounding islands. The leaders of each tribe respected him. When they heard his purpose, they gathered the strong men on the island without saying a word and asked them to follow Feng Lian out to sea.
Jiang Ru originally thought that he was just an ordinary guard. She never thought that he had such power. Thinking about it, she felt even happier.
Feng Lian's influence on the islands is even greater than that of Tuoba Mingge, so if she is with Feng Lian, she doesn't have to worry about being retaliated by Tuoba Mingge.
These days, she tried her best to seduce Feng Lian, but the man was completely unmoved by her. Jiang Ru felt disappointed, but she did not give up.
She discovered that in the past three years, no woman had ever appeared around Feng Lian, and no man could refuse a woman's embrace. Feng Lian was still not moved because she didn't work hard enough.
"Chief, there are outsiders on the island who want to see you."
