Chapter 30: The Shipwrecked Laogu Stops Sailing
Half a day after the boat trip, Yu Hui had already ruined half of Lao Gu's treasures. Lao Gu didn't feel sorry for him. Yu Hui was a little sad and promised that if the trip was calm, he would not need Lao Gu to pay any compensation. If something happened, he would definitely save the merchant ship. As long as Lao Gu was willing to drink with wine, Lao Gu should come down and invite Yu Hui to have a drink with wine and drink with joy when he arrived at the second island!
Lao Gu felt that the real person in front of him was quite moral, and he did not have the airs of those real persons. He really met a good real person. As for the two real people in charge of the first and tenth ships, he was really worried that he would not spend money. The two looked like scholars. What Lao Gu feared the most was that scholars were unreasonable!
There are merchant ships on the Qinhai Sea in all rivers.
There is no wind or wave at night. The merchant ships in Honglou are of excellent quality and properly maintained, so the boat speed is naturally faster. The next morning, I arrived at the Second Island of Qinhai and followed the seven island process. The caravan only planned to take a break for an hour or two. After all, traveling during the day is more reliable than at night. Try to go further during the day and slow down at night. Merchant ships are not as light and convenient as passenger ships on the seven islands. The ship is full of cargo, so it is good to be safe.
After stopping the boat, Lao Gu knocked on Yu Zhenren's door and asked if the real person needed to get off the boat and take a walk. Although the time was a little short, fortunately he could step on the land to make peace.
Yu Hui asked if there was any statement here. Lao Gu explained to Yu Hui that there was no hurry to take a boat on the sea, but their wealth and life were on the boat. There was really a thought of a boat being there, and the boat was dead. Every time he walked a long way, he wanted to step on the land and step on it. Only by being down-to-earth could he feel more at ease, so as not to get off the boat all the way, and there would be a barrier in his heart. If he had been in the long run, he would have cut off his own way of life.
Yu Hui thought about this, it was like practicing, and there was a barrier in his heart. Over time, there would be a demon in his heart. The mild ones could save his life, and the severe ones would enter the underworld early. It seems that where is not practiced in life!
After entering the countryside, Yu Hui got off the boat. Lao Gu took Yu Hui for a while. The caravan could not make the decision, so he agreed to ask Yu Zhenren to drink on the second island. However, it would take at least twenty days to go to the south, and there was no rush.
The Red Building set sail and continued to set off. The second and third islands were at the speed of the caravans and other large ships. Yu Hui avoided being too bored, so he bought some wine while he was just off the island.
Yu Hui is not short of money, but he still can't help but sells it so expensive! As expected, the things are rare! But the taste is conscientious and not much water is added!
Half a day passed, Yu Hui thought about what Lao Gu said about sailing on the sea. He could really understand the feeling in his heart, but it seemed that he was ordering a dish by himself, but the chef put too much salt, so he was really idle!
He summoned Zhuifeng and was still sleeping soundly. Yu Zhenren fell asleep peacefully. He was on the Red Mansion boat trip. Lao Gu was secretly worried that the two islands were not stable recently. I heard that a whale-swallowing beast appeared a few days ago. One or two were fine. If it were in groups, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Whale-swallowing beast, in recent years, a big guy suddenly appeared in the Qinhai Sea. It is said that the largest body I have seen so far is almost as big as my own merchant ship. What is this? In the past, these big guys have never appeared in the Qinhai Sea!
In recent years, the Liqin Sea has changed, and all kinds of strange things have emerged one after another. First, the monk Tongyou was swallowed by some unknown strange fish in one bite, and then dozens of large merchant ships encountered a group of whale-eating beasts, and they went but never returned! You should know that there was another real person on the boat who was sitting on the boat! The whereabouts were also unknown!
Since then, a large caravan like Honglou has to ask at least two people to take a seat to go to sea, and at the same time strengthen the defense on the ship. It is no big deal if you encounter small winds and waves occasionally!
The first ship was responsible for guarding Lao Gu's friend, and Lao Songtou, the half-man of the caravan. As for the tenth ship, he lost to Lao Song.
The responsibility is the real leader of the caravan and the internal manager of the Southern Red House Commercial Bank. The Red House Commercial Bank is located in the south and is also the only direct caravan in the southern Red House tribe. However, the Red House Kingdom is now just a small tribe in the south. There are too many small tribes in the south, so many of them cannot be understood clearly in the south.
The Red Building Tribe is famous because of the fact that there are Red Buildings in the tribe. The tribe relies on business. There was once a tribe in the south that is the best at doing business. Unfortunately, in the south, business is often the fastest, but it is also the fastest to perish!
Red Mansions is a good example. Red Mansions, which was once the best at doing business, had to cede land and pay compensation after offending the large tribes in the south. Now they are in a slump. At the peak, there were more than 20 caravans traversing continents. If it weren’t for the friendship between Dange and Yaoge for many years, they would have secured the title of Red Mansion tribe, and Red Mansion Caravans had become history early!
Although there are no major powers in the south, there are countless tribes here, and Dange and Yao Pavilion are also the largest tribes in the south. Every time these merchants go overseas to do business, they bring back a large number of medicinal materials. For example, most of the twenty ships of the Red Chamber of Commerce are medicinal materials. These medicinal materials are naturally business with Dange and Yao Pavilion.
Therefore, the Red Building Caravan only seeks stability every time and cannot tolerate any loss. The other caravans with twenty major merchant ships can only ask one person to take a photo and dare to set off the ship. The Red Building is different, and at least two people can do it. The business with Dange and Yao Pavilion cannot be affected. Once it is affected, it will be even more difficult for the Red Building tribe to get up!
"What's going on?" Lao Gu watched the ships in front of the caravan slow down. Lao Gu shouted loudly. There was a watchtower at the top of each merchant ship, equipped with two crew members, one was responsible for shaking the flag and the other was responsible for shaking the flag and receiving the signal. The watchtower upstairs responded, "The flags in front are abnormal! A ship has sunk!"
When Lao Gu heard this, his nerves were tense! He ordered all the staff to be on guard and slow down. If necessary, he could stop the ship and wait until the situation was discovered in front of him. He only wanted stability!
Lao Gu has been sailing for more than 20 years and has relied on stability. He has witnessed with his own eyes how the Red Mansion has suddenly changed from a business tribe to today. If he loses, he will lose because of the word "stability", which is too inflated.
The banner was not sent back in front of him, so Lao Gu was not in a hurry. If it was an emergency, he would come back early. Lao Gu stared at the room where Yu Zhenren was. He did not see Yu Zhenren open the door and came out. He must have been resting and he would not disturb him.
"Laogu, it was said that a ship had sunk in front of him. I need to send a team to check it out and let us stop the ship first."
"Stop!" With the order, the boat stopped slowly, took off the sails and broke down.
"Hey! I hope everything is well." Lao Gu said everything is well, not only referring to the Red Mansion fleet, but more in the hope that there were no casualties in the shipwreck ahead. He has been sailing on the sea for more than 20 years, has seen strong winds and waves, and has also seen life and death. This industry is full of risks, so it is not allowed to be stable.
Soon, I came back from the flag-raising ceremony. "Laogu, the situation was not good, the ship had sunk, and the water level of the wreckage would not affect our navigation, but judging from the wreckage floating in front, it was one of the passenger ships on the Qi Islands of Qinhai that we set out early! It was not because of wind and waves, but because it was attacked, and it might be a group of whale-eating beasts! Or other strange fish!"
Lao Gu was sweating in a cold sweat. The three passenger ships on Qionghai Qionghai Qiongdao set off earlier than the Red Building Caravan. If I hadn't thought about going to try my luck at that time, I could have recruited a live guard in my photo, and what had sunk in front of me might have been one of the twenty Red Building Caravans, or even more!
Three passenger ships from the Qionghai Islands were shipped, and now one is sunk, and there are two more. I guess they are safe. There are monks arranged to take charge of the second island of Qinhai Island. There should be no big casualties. Lao Gu only hopes that the ship was destroyed and unable to continue sailing, so he left the ship and left.
"Lao Gu, buckle the flag in front of you. What do you mean? Should you move forward directly or explore?"
"Tell the front, for the sake of stability, I'm still looking for it. If there is no exception, it's not too late to go."
After all, Lao Gu’s responsibilities as a ship guard are not able to make decisions about other things, but when it comes to the safety of the escort fleet, the ones ahead are still willing to listen to their opinions.
Waiting for a stick of incense, the watchtower received the latest reply, "Lao Gu, I said to stop the boat before! It seems that I saw two other ships on Qionghai Islands from afar! But the ships on Qionghai Islands are not like normal driving! I said that it was too far and I couldn't see clearly, and I dare not get too close!"
When everyone heard what the watchtower said, he had just relaxed and had to mention it. Lao Gu knew that Lao Songtou would sit and check it out in the first ship. After all, at such a distance, the watchtower and look glass equipped by the ship could no longer work. Only monks could do it next, and I hope there is no bad news.
"Lao Gu! The situation was urgent, Lao Song invited a real person to check it out. About two miles away from us, the water waves were shaking continuously! There were two real persons sitting on the boat, one should be a stable ship, and the other seemed to be chasing some kind of giant beast in the sea on the water, like the whale-swallowing beast we mentioned!"
Fortunately, I looked for it again. Once it was over, Lao Gu couldn't imagine the consequences!
Judging from the news sent back in the front, the people from Qidao Islands in Qinhai took action. It must be this whale-devouring beast that provoked the Qidao ship and even sank one. However, there are two real people sitting in front of them, so they should be safe.
After such a delay, my caravan stopped here. For every extra point, the danger would increase by one point. After all, it would be fine if a group of whale-swallowing beasts appeared. What if there was a group of them? Twenty Red Building caravans were much more targeted than the two ships in the Qionghai Sea and Seven Islands!
Lao Gu turned around and looked at the room where Yu Zhenren was. Yu Zhenren still hadn't left the boat. He could not stand the level of Tongyou that was not suitable for himself. He could not match the watchtower and observation glasses equipped on the boat. He didn't know what the situation was ahead!
"Lao Gu! I'm circulating a message in front of me and asking if you can consider taking a detour. The first ship's real person said that it's hard to distinguish between the other party for a while, but you know the people from Qidao. If you mess with them, no matter what kind of beast you are, you won't give up until you die! I guess it will take an hour to delay!"
Although Lao Gu had never really seen a whale-swallowing beast, he had indeed seen too much about the ability to sit in a real person. After all, the old leader of the Red Mansion Tribe was a seated person. At its peak, more than ten seated people were seated for more than twenty Tongyou. At that time, the fleet of the Red Mansion Caravans, one of them was located on the escort of the ships across continents.
Now that the tribe has fallen, the old leader has passed away, there is only one new leader in the tribe, so where is the Red Mansion's own photo taken by the real person on the boat?
Lao Gu looked sad. There were no Red Mansion Caravans in other continents, only the twenty ships he was in between the southern and eastern continents, but the Qinhai Sea was becoming less and less peaceful!
After some thought, "You can't take a detour! Once you deviate from the current road, you may have more risks. You might as well wait here again! There are two real people sitting in Qinhai in front of you to deal with a whale-devouring beast. The fluctuations caused by the battle will spread. It is the safest place now!"
Lao Gu thought about it secretly and said that the most dangerous and convenient place is the safest. Instead of taking a detour to face unknown risks, why not wait for the storm in front of him to pass?
Besides, there are three people sitting in the house, and this storm cannot blow in front of your house! It is really necessary. The two people sitting in the front can't be invited by themselves. There is still half of the people Yu on this boat, so I should be invited by myself!
Besides, there should be a boat coming later. If there is really trouble, I believe everyone will not mind joining hands, and it will be safer at that time!
