A group of people rushed to the dock and saw a boat floating on the sea from a distance. Several workers were walking back, still holding tools for pushing the boat in their hands.
Meng Nan got off his horse and stopped the workers: "Let me ask, was there a girl named Bai who went to sea just now?"
The leading man shook his head: "Only one ship went to sea just now. The owner's surname is Gu. Two women got on the ship. I don't know what the last name is."
Last name Gu? Gu Boyang
He pointed to the ship on the sea in the distance and asked, "Is that one?"
The man glanced back, then nodded: "Yes, that's the ship."
Meng Nan asked again: "Where are they going? Do you know where they are going?"
The man shook his head: "I don't know, but seeing that they have brought a lot of things, they probably don't plan to come back."
The man's casual words, like a knife, pierced his heart fiercely, and he almost choked with pain.
"Are there any ships? Do you still have ships?"
The man's eyebrows were filled with joy, thinking that business was coming.
Look at this person's dress, whether it is rich or expensive.
"There are ships, but it's unsafe to go out to sea this night."
As soon as Meng Nan heard this, he knew what he meant, and immediately said: "Money is not a problem, as long as you can catch up with them, you can speak as much as you like."
The man and the man behind him immediately exasperated with a brother, "One hundred taels, if you catch up with them, you will give us one hundred taels, how about?"
Meng Nan immediately responded: "I'll give you one thousand taels and go out to sea immediately."
One thousand taels, their brothers can't make so much money after ten years of work!
"Okay, well, go to sea immediately!" Without a word, the man dragged his brothers to the pier to fetch the boat.
Get the ship out at the fastest speed, and when they set out to sea, the previous ship has disappeared.
"Where's the boat? Where's their boat?" Meng Nan stood at the bow and looked around, but there was no trace of the boat, and he yelled anxiously.
The man at the helm said: "Don't worry, I know where they are going, now it's just down the wind, and they will be able to catch up soon."
Meng Nan felt a little peaceful: "That's good, that's good!"
The moon in the sky is like a jade plate, and the sea is shining with silver. It is not a dark night, and even sees things very clearly.
Not long after, a water beside Meng Nan pointed at a black shadow in the distance and shouted: "My son, look at it, that's it."
Following the sailor's pointing, he really saw a dark shadow, vaguely arguably the appearance of the previous ship.
"Quick, catch up!" He can't care about anything now, as long as he catches up, just want to chase her back.
As long as you don't leave the country of Chu!
. . . . . .
"Time is almost up." Elder Mu stood on the bow, holding a copper gossip compass in his hand, and the fingers on his head were shaking from side to side, but there was not much movement. It seemed that the position was correct.
Dongfang Mu walked over and said to Bai Zhi and Old Mu: "There is a boat behind, coming towards us."
When everyone turned their heads, they saw a ship coming towards them in the distance, but the distance was still very far, and they would not be able to chase them for a while.
Bai Zhi's flat eyebrows lightly frowned, and murmured, "Could it be a fishing boat?"
Old Mu shook his head: "No, Gu Boyang and I often come here these days. Fishing boats usually don't go out at night unless they go out to sea during the day and miss the hour. When they come back, it is night. But never go out to sea at night."
Gu Boyang also said, "Yes, the wind and waves here are particularly strong at night, and the fishermen only go fishing during the day."
