After repeated conversations and communication with Forthvitt, Chai Yan finally understood the ins and outs and the cause of the fire on the civilian ship.
Two years ago, when Forthwaite was still in Bernage, his living situation was very bad. Because of his low income, he was always complained and disliked by his wife.
One day, Fosthwaite was passing by the market and happened to see a merchant selling some very beautiful porcelain. When he asked out of curiosity, he realized that those porcelains were very expensive. The money spent to buy one was enough for their family to eat and drink for two days.
It's been three years.
After Forthwaite was shocked, he asked the businessman about the origin of these porcelains. The businessman told him that the porcelains came from a very distant and mysterious Eastern country, Shengguo. He also said that such porcelain was everywhere in Shengguo, and every family
Every household also uses such porcelain, with different styles, too many to count.
From that day on, Forthwaite had a bold idea in his mind. He wanted to go to Shengguo to learn the craftsmanship and technology of making porcelain, and then return to the capital of Bernakis to open a high-end restaurant on the busiest street.
porcelain shop, and then earn countless gold and silver coins. Then take a closer look at her wife's expression!
This idea had been brewing for a month, and it had gradually faded away. But one day, because of his carelessness, he lost two silver coins, and Forthvitt's wife had a huge quarrel with him.
The night after the quarrel, Vosthwaite, who was sleeping in bed, suddenly determined his idea and decided to take a boat to Shengguo to learn how to make porcelain!
The next day, Falthvitt packed his bags and lied that he was going to work as a sailor on the ship so that he could earn more money and return home. After hearing this, his wife did not object. On the contrary, she was very encouraging, thinking that it was the fight yesterday that made her husband angry.
When he woke up, he understood that working hard to make money to support his family was his biggest responsibility!
In this way, Falthvitt took the ten silver coins given to him by his wife and came to the dock to look for a ship that would sail to the Kingdom of Sheng.
However, after asking all the ships at the pier, none of them could sail directly to Shengguo. Everyone told him that he could only go to the east first, and then find other ways to go after reaching the farthest point that the ship could reach.
Shengguo.
When Forthwaite heard that it was so difficult to go to Shengguo, he wanted to give up at first, but then he thought about it. His wife thought that he really wanted to be a sailor, so she not only gave him ten silver coins, but also told his neighbors and relatives.
My friend, if you go back like this, you won’t be able to hold your head high in front of anyone in the future.
Finally, Falthwaite gritted his teeth and made up his mind, found a voyage ship to the East, applied for a job as a handyman on the ship, and used his work to repay the voyage fee to the East.
Next, Fosthwaite's ship went through an arduous and dangerous voyage, and it took more than a year to finally reach the East.
Fosthwaite got off the ship at the farthest point of the ship's voyage, and then looked around for a way to get to Shengguo. In this way, he changed no less than ten fleets, and also encountered pirates' plundering during the period, but luckily
, Fosvit survived and successfully set foot on the land of Shengguo.
After arriving in Shengguo, the first problem Vosvit encountered was the language barrier. For this reason, he deliberately stayed in the port to learn the language for more than two months. Unfortunately, Fosvit's language talent cannot be complimented.
After more than two months, I only learned some simple daily expressions, and I couldn't even speak a longer complete sentence.
Gradually, Forthvitt lost his patience due to the torture of Sheng Guo's language, and the money and goods he carried with him were very limited, so he set out on the road to the capital in advance.
Because of the language barrier, Forthvitt went in circles along the way, taking countless detours and wrong paths, and spent almost all his money.
Just when he was desperate and helpless, Forthwaite met a wealthy young man named Hai Wenbin and received his help.
Hai Wenbin is from Liuju County. His family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Liuju City. He is also the only son of three generations in the family. This person especially likes to be exposed to all kinds of new and strange things. As long as it is something that Young Master Hai has never seen or heard of, he will
He is interested in everything.
And it was precisely because of this that he helped Forthvitt. Hai Wenbin had never seen a strange-looking blond man before, so when he saw him in trouble, he did not hesitate to help him.
Although the two people speak different languages, they communicated well with gestures and body language along the way. However, in the eyes of others, they seemed to be talking like chickens and ducks, and they couldn't understand each other.
Hai Wenbin didn't know the purpose of Forthvitt coming to Shengguo, so he took him back to his home.
Although Forthvitt wanted to leave for the capital as soon as possible, he had no choice but to say that no one else could understand him, and he had no money, so it was difficult to do so. Therefore, he had to stay at Hai Wenbin's house temporarily, thinking that he must go as soon as possible.
Click to learn the language of Shengguo.
Just yesterday, Hai Wenbin suddenly thought of going on a boat trip, so he took his book boy and Forthvitt to the outside of the city, hired a private boat and rowed on the river.
Everything went smoothly at first, as we enjoyed the wine while looking at the river view, the scene seemed very pleasant and comfortable.
When the sunset appeared in the sky, the book boy kept reminding Hai Wenbin that it was time to go back, but Hai Wenbin was greedy for the beautiful scenery and refused to let the boatman return. In the end, it was completely dark, and they missed the time to return to the city.
The door has long been closed.
The bookboy was anxious, but Hai Wenbin was not in a hurry. He even said that he might as well spend the night on the boat tonight. As for dinner, he could use local ingredients and ask the boatman to catch a fresh fish, and then use the river water to cook it.
Come and enjoy the wine, it will have a unique flavor just thinking about it.
Hai Wenbin said this, and he did it in the end. He did everything from fishing, cooking and eating. The boatman was also very happy because Master Hai was so generous. During the whole day, he did not say anything more than his usual three.
Five days of income.
But late at night, danger befell them.
When Hai Wenbin and others were sleeping, a group of gangsters rowed a small boat and quietly approached the civilian ship. As soon as they boarded the boat, they took Hai Wenbin hostage. After the book boy woke up, he wanted to save his young master, but was stabbed to death by the gangsters, and then pushed forward.
In the river.
And the boatman suffered the same fate!
As for Forthvitt, I have to say that he was very lucky. Originally, the gangsters were going to kill him and throw him into the river, but they were suddenly shocked by his blond hair and typical Western appearance. He was stunned.
, Forthvitt seized the opportunity to escape, and plunged into the river with a diving leap, lurking in the water and not daring to show his head.
The gangsters searched for Forthvitt for a long time but failed to find him, so before leaving, they set fire to the civilian ship and captured Hai Wenbin.
By the time Forthvitt could no longer hold his breath and emerged from the water, the fire on the civilian ship had begun to gradually increase.
Forthwaite wanted to go ashore but didn't dare, because he was afraid that the gang of gangsters just now were squatting on the shore, waiting for him to go ashore and fall into a trap. If that happened, his life would be lost!
The river water in April was still cold, rapidly consuming the heat and strength of Forthvitt's body. Just when he was about to lose control and risk going ashore, the official ship Chai Yan was riding suddenly appeared on the river...
...
At that moment, Forthvitt decisively gave up swimming to the shore and chose to shout for help.
Next, Chai Yan and Cheng Jiu on the bow discovered the burning civilian ship...
