Chapter 129

It's too late. After the negotiation, the three of them are going to the South China Sea as soon as possible, so they are ready to have a rest. However, when they look back, they see Huai Rushan pouting his buttocks and holding a candlestick. The whole person is almost on the table. The two as like as two peas were stacked together and held by hand.

Huairuyu eyebrows jump, in his butt kicked a foot: "what are you doing? Watch out for the candle

"Oh, don't touch me." Huai Rushan twisted, straightened up, raised the portrait higher, and said with pride, "this time you can't take me to the South China Sea."

"What did you find?" Huairuyu frowned.

"It should be a map of the chimpanzee tomb." The Huaihe River is like a good road.

"Let me see." Huairuyu said that he was about to reach for the portrait, but huairushan suddenly stepped back two steps, raised his chin and said, "take me with you, or I'll give it to you, and you won't see it."

Huairuyu looks at him with a bad face. Huairushan suddenly moves to hide behind an Changqing and grumbles unconvinced: "I'm not a child. I know the map. Even if you don't take me, I can find a boat to go to sea myself. Maybe it will be faster than you. "

Then he felt that he was alone and poked an Changqing and said, "cousin, do you think I'm right?"

An Changqing gave him a helpless expression.

But huairuyu looked at him for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "if you want to go, go. What's in the picture? "

I didn't expect it to be so simple this time. Huai Rushan was stunned. Then he reacted and corrected the color. He hung the two paintings stacked together over the candle and said, "look, this is it."

On the candlelight, on the two overlapped portraits, there was a faint outline.

"If there is only one picture, you can't see it under the candlelight." Huai Rushan took away one of the portraits, and the shallow outline was out of sight. He handed the portrait to huairuyu and asked him to hold it. He found a pen and paper to draw it and explained, "I've seen this kind of skill before when I was traveling around. Write on the paper with special paint, and the words will disappear after a while. If you want to see the words on the paper, you need to look at the candle. Once the candle is smoked, the handwriting will appear. "

He was just curious to have a try. At the beginning, he only took one painting, but he didn't find anything special. But he inadvertently put the two paintings together, and the light of the fire shone on them, but there were more shallow outlines.

"These two portraits should be more skillful than the folk art I saw. The handwriting is very light. They have to be stacked together to show color." He pointed to the outline copied on the rice paper and said, "this outline looks like a map of Yuze and a nearby chart. Look here. This is Jiayi city. South of Jiayi city is the South China Sea. The island to the south of the sea area should be the tomb of the mackerel.... "

While he was talking, he had copied the whole picture These waves should be the flow direction of the current. As long as we avoid these counter current currents, we should be able to get close to the tomb of the shark. However, there is a circle of black vertical bars around the tomb of the shark, but we don't know what it is

The other three people came to look closely, but they didn't see why. It's just that according to the conventional guess, it's probably something to defend.

"If you can't figure it out, you'll have to wait until you're ready to change your mind." An Changqing said.

Xiao Zhige nodded and agreed. He looked at huairushan and said, "you are very familiar with maps and charts." I thought I was just a dandy protected by my elder brother, but I didn't expect that I had some skills, at least not as simple and silly as it seems.

Huairushan laughed twice, and then noticed the heavy sight of huairushu on the other side. He shrunk his neck and didn't know who he was explaining to: "I've been out all the year round, and I've traveled all over the rain, including the adjacent waters. Everywhere I go, I draw a local map, so I'm naturally familiar with it. "

Huairuyu let out a hum and smile, and did not continue this topic. He only said to an Changqing: "it's not early. Let's have a rest today. I'll discuss the portrait tomorrow. I'll ask someone to pick out some old boatmen who can watch the current. "

An Changqing has read a lot of books today and is really tired. He took the opportunity to leave. Huairushan wanted to walk behind him, but behind him came huairushan's gnashing voice: "ah Shan, you stay."

“……” Huai Rushan's steps are stiff, and his eyes look at an Changqing's back plaintively. An Changqing left with Xiao Zhige.

***

in the next few days, an Changqing and Xiao Zhige continued to read the classics in the secret library. Huairushan finally got his brother's approval, and Meizizi went with him. But he didn't have much patience. After reading a few letters, he was impatient and looked for the folk rumors of the shark people.

When an Changqing and Xiao Zhige come alone, they can cope with one day with a pot of tea and two dishes of cakes. When huairushan came, he wanted tea and snacks. The two porters couldn't hear him, so he asked huairushan's attendants to send him. While eating pastry while reading, see a strange record, but also make a fuss.

After a while, I exclaimed, "the shark gauze woven by the shark people is invulnerable.".After a while, he took a deep breath and said, "after going to the sea, the two legs of the chimpanzees will turn into fish tails." after that, he would peep at an Changqing's legs and say, "can you also turn into fish tails?"

“……” An Changqing said to him with a smile: "if it wasn't for the face of the elephant and the white peacock, I would throw you out." He finally understood why huairu valley was about to start murdering people without saying a few words to him. Now it seems that huairu Valley is too noisy and annoying.

Huai Rushan

Maybe he was afraid of being thrown out, so he finally read the book honestly.

By the time they had almost finished reading all the books and letters in the secret library, it was late August. At the same time, huairuyu finally finished handling the political affairs, and appointed a confidant minister to handle the political affairs on his behalf. Like an Changqing, Xiao Zhige, he also secretly selected his successor and left a legacy. If Huai Rushan doesn't go, this will be left to him. But he had to go with him. Huairuyu had to choose another successor just in case.

In addition, he also requisitioned ten sea going ships. All of these ten ships travel between overseas countries all the year round. Because they carry goods, they are large and strong. The trip to the South China Sea is just right.

Ten seagoing ships, each equipped with 100 experienced boatman, plus 200 soldiers, dozens of doctors and other personnel. The bottom holds a lot of food, water, medicine and weapons. A batch of newly developed firearms originally brought from Yejing were also distributed to each ship.

On August 25, everything is ready. Everyone arrives at Jiayi city and is ready to go to sea.

On the wharf, one main ship is in the middle, and the other nine ships are distributed in the front, back, left and right of the main ship in the form of escort. On the main ship, in addition to the four of an Changqing, they also gathered the elite of Yuze and Daye.

Both an Changqing and Xiao Zhige went out to sea by boat for the first time. They stood on the deck and watched the sails pull up. The sea wind blew the sails up. After the sound of the horn, ten sea going ships sailed to the sea one after another.

In front of the sea was broken, causing bursts of white spray. In front of him was the vast sea. An Changqing was excited and said: "the sea is much bigger than I imagined..." Even if it is looking at the very tall ship, in the sea, it also appears small and fragile.

It's a drop in the ocean.

Huai Rushan came out of the cabin and saw his yearning emotion, so he said with a smile: "you'd better go to the cabin for a rest when you go to sea for the first time. Seasickness at sea is not a small matter."

An Changqing felt it for a while and said, "I don't feel dizzy."

Huairushan finally found a sense of superiority, raised his chin, hugged his arms and said, "it's still early. You'll have a look later."

……

Half a day after the ship went to sea, an Changqing vomited at the side of the ship. All the things I had eaten before were swallowed. My head was dizzy and my hands and feet were weak. If Xiao Zhige hadn't caught him in time, an Changqing would have been sitting on the board of the boat.

"Now you believe it?" Huai Rushan handed over a bottle of pills and said, "it will be better if you take this. You'll get used to it after two or three days at sea

Xiao Zhige took the bottle over, pulled out the cork and smelled a pungent smell. He tasted one, and a pungent smell came from his mouth to his brain, almost spitting out. Although the taste is hard to describe, it does have some effects. Xiao Zhige, motionless, poured out one and fed it to an Changqing.

An Changqing's physical strength has not yet recovered, and her face is pale. When she smells it, she frowns: "it smells bad."

Xiao Zhige's face did not change to cheat: "it's just a little bad smell, not bad to eat."

An Changqing is suffering, and there is no doubt about him. He opened his mouth and fed it. Xiao Zhige quickly put the pill into his mouth, then quickly grasped his jaw, and forced him to swallow it before he could react. An Changqing had just vomited. After taking this pill, she felt sick and retched a few times before she recovered. Gasping for breath, he said to Huai Rushan, "how can I feel that you are waiting for an opportunity to revenge me?"

Huai Rushan smiles and waves to deny: "you think too much. We are brothers. How can we have a grudge?"

An Changqing didn't have the strength to fight with him. He felt that the vertigo was relieved, so he asked Xiao Zhige to help him go back to the cabin to have a rest.

After five days at sea, an Changqing finally overcame seasickness. Xiao Zhige was in better health than he was. Except for the first day, he was not affected any more.

Calculating the time, it was already August 30. According to the copy of the chart, they had been going around the retrograde current, and had not encountered any obstacles for the time being.

An Changqing stood on the deck with her hands behind her back. After the novelty of the beginning had passed, the vast blue sea became the same. In addition to dealing with all kinds of sudden storms and crises, the biggest obstacle to sailing on the sea is actually the boring life on the sea. It's easy to get flustered and uncomfortable by repeating life day after day.

After standing on the deck for a while, an Changqing turned back. Xiao Zhige and Huai Ruyu are playing chess. Huai Rushan, the stinking basket, is on the edge to point out the country. When an Changqing looks at the three of them, he feels a little less anxious. Calm down, sit down beside Xiao Zhige, pick up half of the book and continue to look.But before long, the cabins were knocked, and the attendant came in dignified and reported, "the captain said there might be a storm this evening."

Sailing on the sea, the most taboo encounter storm. They observed the sky before they went out. It was sunny. It's really sunny and windy these five days. But I didn't expect a storm.

The four exchanged their eyes, and huairuyu asked in a voice, "how big is the storm, can it be resisted?"

"The captain said that the clouds were not small and that the storm would not be small

"Inform all vessels to lower their sails in the evening. According to the previous preparatory plan, they will be immediately connected with iron ropes. If there's a storm, all of you take shelter in the cabin. "

This is an emergency plan that was negotiated before going to sea. Sailing on the sea can be as short as ten and a half days, or as long as a year and a half. It's inevitable that there will be storms on the way. The small ones will pass one by one, but the big ones may even overturn the whole ship. Fortunately, they expected to encounter such a situation before they went to sea, and they were well prepared. Although the news is a bit heavy, at least it won't be too flustered.

After they have done their best, they have to listen to the destiny.
