Chapter 917: They're here

The next time, we were floating on the sea.
Said it is floating, of course, it is not appropriate, after all, our fleet routes are still very clear, but every day standing on the plywood and looking out, except for the vast sea that is connected to the long sky, nothing can be seen. By then, even the few seabirds flying over his head were few, and sailing on such an endless sea became a kind of wandering.
Perhaps, only in the face of such a sea can one really feel how small he is.
I stood at the bow of the ship wearing a thick fur, and the wet sea breeze blew across my face. The salty taste seemed to be tears in my heart, but my face was calm, even without expression, just staring blankly. Looking into the sky.
However, Han Zitong was not so calm.
Since going out to sea, she has always been very irritable, especially when standing on the splint, looking at the vast sea in front of her, her mood became more and more irritable, and several times of speaking almost with a posture of arguing with me, Fortunately, every time the old man appeared to stop in time, he finally did not make things big.
But I know that her mood will not calm down easily.
The more important people are, the more they become furious when they find themselves helpless.
Thinking of this, I sighed softly and turned to go back to the cabin, but as soon as I took a step, I heard Han Zitong said, "How long are we going to go?"
"..."
I looked back at her, and saw that her brows had been twisted into a puppet, and looked at me with a stern expression: "Do you know where we are going? Where is our ship?"
I sighed in my heart and calmly said, "Don't worry, I have already asked the boatman today. At our current speed, we can reach Zhoushan at the latest two days later."
"After arriving at Zhoushan?" She hurried to me: "Where are we going?"
I glanced at her and said, "We went looking for someone."
"..."
"Where Lier and Miss Xue are, we will go."
"What if we can't find it?"
"It must be found!"
She immediately felt that my tone and expression were a bit wrong, and her frown frowned. As soon as she was about to say something, she heard the other side of the splint. Several busy boatmen suddenly shouted, "Look!"
We both looked at each other, turned around, and saw that those people had let go of their work, all ran to the fence, and poked their heads to look forward.
what happened?
I didn't talk to her anymore, and hurried to run over, holding the fence to look forward-I saw a vast gray-blue, undulating sea in front of me, and a large thing floated.
Looking at it from a distance, it was as if a sudden cloud came from the sky.
what is that?
Hearing the movement on our side, the boatman in the cabin, together with the old medicine resting in the cabin, and some attendants and maids ran out together. Everyone ran to the bow to look around and saw the large piece of stuff With the continuous ups and downs of the waves, it always floated back to the sea.
"What it is?"
"Is it a fish?"
"It doesn't look like fish."
Everyone talked eloquently, but couldn't be sure what it was, just watching that piece of black and white stuff drifting with the waves, slowly drifting towards us.
A boatman with the best eyesight looked for a long time and exclaimed, "It's a fragment!"
Fragments?
Everyone heard it, they were shocked suddenly, a big wave came over, and suddenly a large black thing swarmed towards us, and for a moment, it seemed like a huge monster that brought us this ship. All swallowed up.
Those things hit the ship with the current, making a crackling sound.
With a closer look, it turned out to be really fragmented.
Countless pieces of wood gathered together to form a cloud-like floating object. When I looked closely, I found that some of the pieces were wooden posts, wooden boards, and some places were tied with thick cables and even heavy canvas. Entwined, our ship sailed past those things and directly crushed some large wooden boards into powder, and a stern and dull sound came from the bottom of the ship.
I was at a loss for a moment. I did n’t know where these things came from and what they were used for. I just watched the large piece of things under my feet, but some of the young shipmen's dexterity on the boat immediately took the cables down and fished Pick up some wooden blocks, and when they pull the man up again and again, they are noisy.
Yao Lao hurriedly walked over: "What's going on?"
One of the older shipmen said, "Old man, come and see."
Talking, he handed the wooden board picked up by the young boatman to the old man, and the old man looked at it, but he didn't seem to see the doorway. Han Zitong and I both walked over and looked at the board. It's two feet wide, and both ends have shattered, forming sharp wooden teeth, and a few iron nails in the middle, emitting a cold light.
I asked, "What is this?"
The old shipyard said, "This is a board for a sea ship?"
"what?"
"That's what we stand for."
The old boatman held the wooden board to compare with the deck under our feet, the width was almost the same, and even the positions of nails were similar.
I murmured immediately.
"You mean, this is a board on a ship?"
"Correct."
I looked at the cracked wooden teeth on both sides of the board. It didn't look like it was cut by people, but it was broken open by force. Then I saw the pieces of wood still floating on the surface of the ship. It's even broken!
What kind of strength can it take to dismantle a sea ship like this?
The old boatman said: "This should have been removed from a ship, and the nails have not rusted. It should not have been soaking in the water for a long time, maybe--"
He didn't finish his words. After watching a few of us become pale for a moment, his words couldn't go on.
And we all understand.
Pei Yuanzhang tried the sea ban, so at this time, there were not many seaboats traveling on the sea, and the ships that have recently gone out to sea are just Yan Qinghan, Pei Yuanfeng, Xiao Yusheng, and Liu Qinghan's fleet.
When I think of it, I just feel my breath is choking.
Whose boat? Suffered such a blow?
Will it be, is it Liu Qinghan's ship?
Will Lier be in his suit, and if such a blow is encountered, Lier-she-!
I quickly grasped the wooden board in my hand, and the thorns on it immediately pierced into my fingertips, but I didn't feel any pain at all. I just felt that my whole body seemed to be numb. Only that terrible scene , Lingering in my head.
What if in case something happened?
Thinking of this, I just felt like my heart was burning by the flames. The internal organs were about to be ignited. I immediately rushed to the side of the fence and leaned forward to look down.
Among those fragments, will there be ... corpses?
Will there be ...
Seeing me like this, Yao Lao seemed to understand it all at once, and immediately rushed to the edge of the fence and looked down at the sea.
Those large and small fragments, there are countless iron nails on them, reflecting the slight coldness of the sun, as if the tip of a needle pierced into each of our eyes, I even saw Yao old fingers stiff The wooden board of the fence was pinched and sunken, as if the fear in his heart at the moment, just like me.
Unable to vent.
Just as a group of us looked at the broken pieces of wood at the bottom of the boat in horror, suddenly a boatman looked up and looked forward, and said loudly, "Look at the front."
Cangjie looked up.
I saw that there was a little black spot on the sea level that was almost blank and integrated with the sky. It was undulating along with the waves and drifted towards us.
What is that
Another batch of wood pieces?
Or something else? Sea beast? people? Island?
still is--
At this moment, countless ridiculous and ridiculous thoughts emerged from my mind, as if the fragments of the bottom of the ship were constantly pounding on the hull, hitting my already weak nerves, I stared straight ahead, His eyes didn't blink, and he even held his breath.
Those boatmen also followed us and looked out, but the more they looked, the more solemn their expressions. One of the young men simply climbed the thick flag rope, boarded the tall mast, and held it with one hand. With the flag rope, put your other hand on your eyes and look forward for a long time.
We also looked back at him, only to see his frown tightened, and he looked down at us: "It's a boat."
"what?"
"It's a ship."
We suddenly opened our eyes in amazement.
I immediately asked, "Did you come over to us?"
The young man nodded. "Yes. It's fast."
"..."
I frowned suddenly.
Although there should be a lot of ships going out to sea now, the first batch were Yan Qinghan's ships, followed by Pei Yuanfeng, Xiao Yusheng's fleet, and Yangzhou Liu Qinghan's fleet and ours, but if I recall before If the map on the soft papar is right, these people's targets should be east of Zhoushan, but we are still northwest of Zhoushan. How can these people's boats go and should not go back?
But if not for them, whose boat is it?
I frowned, looking at the growing black spot. As the young man said, the ship was fast, and within a short time, the outline of the ship was already visible.
The older boatman also stomped on the fence with a flag rope and looked forward for a long while, his face paled and said, "Don't meet a pirate."
"pirate?"
The old boatman glanced at me and said, "Of course there are pirates at sea. But, west of Zhoushan, it should still be safe. I'm just in case of encounter."
By the way, the reason why the imperial court trained sailors in Zhoushan was largely to prevent those fierce and violent thieves at sea.
But we should still belong to the offshore area, so we won't meet pirates?
Although the old boatman said so, obviously everyone was tense and the atmosphere became a little dull. Everyone opened his eyes and watched the ship on the sea getting closer and closer, the outline became clearer, and he could even see Go to the ship and raise the sails, and sail towards us against the wind.
Just then, the young boatman ascending the sky suddenly made a snorting noise.
The old boatman immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
The young man's eyes widened in amazement and looked for a while before slowly looking down at us.
The old boatman shouted, "What the did you see?"
The young man said, "They're here, playing slogans."
"Oh? What did they say?"
