Chapter 268 Life on the Boat
Chapter 268 Life on the Boat
At dawn, the first ray of sunlight penetrates the thin mist and shines on the sparkling sea, and the golden light and the blue sea are intertwined into one.
The breeze gently blew across everyone's faces, instantly making them feel much more awake.
At this time, Tang Qiuwan was looking at the rising sun in the east, somewhat absorbed in it.
In her previous life, she lived in the inland and was just an ordinary citizen.
I have never seen the falling snow in the south, nor have I seen the misty rain in the south and the vast ocean.
The universities he attended were all in the same province. When he went to university, the farthest place Tang Qiuwan had been to was the city.
Now, she has also become someone who has seen the sunrise at sea.
"It's so beautiful."
Listening to Cai Qin's voice beside her, she nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's beautiful."
Now, there are only a few officials standing by the fence.
The recruited crew members were busy with their own tasks and didn't even take a look at the sunrise that was common to them.
After packing up his things, Li Daniu actively went out to help the navy move their things.
He needs to work harder and perform well, maybe he can get more rewards when he returns.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if he can’t get it. He is strong anyway, and these are things within his ability. It would be best if he can get it, but if he can’t, he would be happy to be able to help this group of people.
As for the sunrise, hadn't he seen it often enough? He could see it every day when he went fishing.
The sailors were carrying various supplies back and forth. When the last box of things was loaded onto the ship, a naval general walked towards the fence.
He saluted Cai Qin and Tang Qiuwan and said, "Sir, all the supplies have been properly arranged and we can set sail at any time."
Cai Qin nodded slightly, "Thank you all for your hard work."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Tang Qiuwan, "Shall we set off now?"
"it is good."
With Cai Qin's order, the crew members took their positions, the sails were raised, and the ship slowly set sail.
The ship broke through the calm sea and headed southeast.
This direction was determined by Tang Qiuwan.
In the history of her previous life, sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes were grown in different places.
Southeast, Northeast and Northwest.
Although the geographical location today is different from that in the previous life, the climate is the same.
Maybe the crops are growing in that direction.
The distribution of the three crops is different, so Tang Qiuwan chose sweet potatoes after careful consideration.
As the days passed, after the initial novelty wore off, Tang Qiuwan no longer felt as excited as before when facing the scenery of the sea, and life gradually became monotonous and boring.
When she set out, she was afraid of seasickness, so she brought a lot of orange peels and sour apricots with her, but she didn't expect that they would be of no use.
Tang Qiuwan stood up and prepared to go out for a walk. He had been staying in the room for the past few days and felt like he was going to get moldy.
On the deck, Cai Qin was looking through a slightly crude telescope.
"Master Cai, have you found anything?" Tang Qiuwan asked as he approached.
Cai Qin put down the telescope and shook his head. "It's still just a vast ocean, with no sign of land."
Tang Qiuwan felt a little heavy-hearted, but it had only been more than two months since they set out, and they had slowed down for safety reasons, so it was normal that they had not arrived.
"Let's keep going. We'll eventually gain something. His Majesty has given us a year and a half anyway, so we should take our time."
Before leaving, Yun Zhi looked for them and said that if she couldn't find them, she would come back.
Cai Qin nodded, "Master Tang is absolutely right."
He held the telescope tightly in his hands at his side. He didn't want to return empty-handed this time.
I hope God will bless them.
"Master Cai, it's almost time for lunch. Let's go in."
"it is good."
At this moment, the bright sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds gathered, and the sea breeze became stronger.
"Oh no, I'm afraid there will be another storm!" Cai Qin's face changed.
This was not the first time they had encountered this, and after realizing it, everyone responded in a well-trained manner.
After the storm, the crew began to work together to repair the sails and bailed out the water that had just entered the boat.
Tang Qiuwan doesn't know how to do technical work like repairing sails, but she can scoop water.
She was not a pampered person and could not sit idle. After seeing Cai Qin go with the ministers to discuss the next route with the helmsman, she rolled up her sleeves and joined the team scooping water.
Seeing Tang Qiuwan personally taking part in the battle, Li Daniu could not help but quickly step forward to stop him, "Master Tang, you take a break, we'll handle the rough work!"
Tang Qiuwan smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard, so I'll do my part!"
Seeing how determined she was, everyone stopped trying to stop her and just worked even harder.
This way, Tang Qiuwan can do less work.
While working, the crew members secretly thought that these officials were quite down-to-earth.
After some effort, the water in the boat was finally cleared.
After planning the new route, Cai Qin walked out and saw Tang Qiuwan holding a wooden ladle, her skirt stained with water.
I didn't see her following me just now, and I thought she went back to change her wet clothes.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Tang."
Tang Qiuwan waved her hand. "It's nothing. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can leave. Okay, I'm going back to change my clothes. You guys should go change too. Otherwise, it would be bad if you get sick."
After that storm, there was a period of calm.
Later, we encountered several storms and a large number of crew members became sick, but fortunately there were no deaths.
In a blink of an eye, they had been traveling for more than three months, just when all the ministers except Tang Qiuwan thought that there was no new continent or new country.
A small ship appeared in their eyes.
"Everyone, look, isn't that a boat?" a minister shouted excitedly.
"Yes, it's a ship, it really is a ship. Are we going to find a new world?"
Where there are ships, there are people, and where there are people, there is a new world.
The ship was getting closer and closer to them, and at this moment, something strange happened.
