It was with the wind when it came, but it was against the wind when it returned, but the load on the ship was not full, Ling Qingyu ordered the sails to be fully loaded, stay away from the coastline, and sail along the edge of the channel.
The number of people on board exploded, and the first thing that went wrong was the lack of staff in the kitchen.
Those who came up had men and women in separate cabins, and children were with women. Many of them were family members. After entering the cabin, because the ropes on their hands were still tied together, they could only sit down first, and then He called his relatives to see if they were okay. If there is a response, someone will cry again.
When Ling Qingyu entered the women's cabin, what he saw was such a mocking look.
"Don't cry!" Shen Zhan roared, and the cabin immediately fell silent, most of them looked timidly at the people standing at the door.
Ling Qingyu patted Shen Zhan. In fact, she wanted to let Shen Zhan continue to recuperate, but Shen Zhan saw the situation on the boat and refused to lie down to recuperate. Once the boat sailed, Ding Dong couldn't get off, and only Shen Zhan could do it. Some time later, Ling Qingyu took him down to the cabin.
"I want to find some cooks. Some of them can cook. The food tastes good. Please raise your hand." Ling Qingyu said with a smile on his face. Yan San stabbed him in the back, coughed immediately, and put on a serious expression. , said loudly: "Those who know how to cook stand up."
Hulala stood up a large piece. Some got up quickly in a hurry, some reacted slowly and didn't move for a while, being caught by the rope, some tripped together and fell into a ball again.
Ling Qingyu's eyes swished, and when the panic inside was finally over, he ordered a few women and said, "You guys, go to the kitchen with him."
Lu Zhan stepped forward to take the ropes from those women and took them out.
"Mother!" A little boy hugged a woman's leg when she walked by him.
"Good boy, mother will be back soon." The woman said softly, then gently broke away from the boy's hand, and followed the person in front.
Seeing that Ling Qingyu picked the ones who were not pulled down by others in the chaos just now, Yan San turned his eyes and walked slowly inside the boy for a few steps, touched some of the boy's bones, and relieved himself. He opened the ropes of the children he was looking at, and said, "Follow me."
Calling the children to get up, Yan San had already scanned the expressions of the people in the cabin, and seeing that no one cared, he probably thought these were orphans, so he led a few people out of the cabin.
There were thirteen orphans brought by Ling Qingyu on board, and Ding Dong placed them in their sailor cabins. As soon as they boarded the ship, even though they were dizzy from hunger, the children were still shocked by the size of the ship. Then Ding Dong handed it over to Lu Zhan for brainwashing. On this ship, the greatest and most powerful person is in charge! Be loyal to the master! Loyalty at the cost of your life! There are three iron rules on the ship, the first is that everything the master says is right, the second is that everything the master orders must be done, and the third is that if there is a mistake, refer to the previous two. If you betray or do something bad, throw it into the sea and feed it to the sharks.
The children were frightened by Lu Zhan and the other sailors, and when Ling Qingyu boarded the boat, they all trembled when they saw her. However, Ling Qingyu thought it was because they were still afraid of being starved to death, so they comforted each of them gently, put the youngest children to sleep, and specially cooked meat porridge for them. Then, and then she was kicked out by Yan San, and Yan San trained her.
Ling Qingyu was angry for two days, and only after the more than 600 people boarded the boat did she begin to understand what Yan San meant.
In this era, there is no equality. Once a contract of sale is signed, it is a domestic slave, a commodity that can be priced in money, and belongs to the master. It might not be a good thing for the domestic slaves to expect too much.
Ling Qingyu stood on the balcony of the wheelhouse and looked at the busy children on the deck. Some were cleaning the deck, some were following the sailors to tidy up the ropes, and a few were leaning on the ship's hook, with their arms stretched out, hanging two Shui Tong was squatting on a horse stance, while Yan San was sleeping on the rope reel next to him.
A boy saw Ling Qingyu and smiled at her, and Ling Qingyu smiled back. Seeing Yan San's gaze swept over, he snorted, turned and went into the wheelhouse.
Yan San closed his eyes again, he understood Ling Qingyu's mood, she really liked these children, and wanted to help these victims as much as possible. Even if she encountered the most insidious and vicious calculations of human nature, she still maintained a kind heart. It's just that, after all, she grew up in a carefree environment without worrying about food and clothing. She didn't understand the difference between giving a piece of steamed bun and a bag of rice when she was about to starve to death. Giving a steamed bun will remember your life-saving If you give me a bag of rice, they want to take all your stuff. Not everyone is worth what she has to pay, and she can't afford the fate of so many people. Only let these people understand that if they want to live, they have to pay a price, and when they see their position clearly, they must act like servants.
Luckily for you, Yan San's scabbard slapped a little boy's hanging arm. You met a kind-hearted savior, and you also met a kind-hearted master, me.
Because of the shortage of food, Ling Qingyu asked the kitchen to make thick porridge for the hungry people below, and she also intended to fear that they would suffer from indigestion, but she still underestimated the appetite of these young people who had been hungry for an unknown number of days.
So, in the early morning of the third day, Shen Zhan came to report that there was not enough food.
The cabin has been requisitioned by officers and soldiers, and Ling Qingyu set up a bunk in the wheelhouse without ambition. He just woke up at this time and received the news, expressing that he was very stressed.
"Kraken! Look, there's a sea monster,"
"what!"
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die."
There was a sudden exclamation and commotion on the deck.
Every two hours, Ling Qingyu would ask Shen Zhan and the others to bring a group of people out to get some air, as long as the air was ok, and no noise was allowed. At this time, it should be the time when the first group of people come up to breathe.
Ling Qingyu pushed open the door angrily, and saw a young man sitting quietly holding a rope on one side of the deck, and a group of villagers on the other side, pointing at the sea and yelling.
Ling Qingyu looked into the sea, grabbed Shen Zhan who was about to go down to scold them, and said happily, "Fuck it, it's a whale!"
"Leave the boat and take the harpoon." Shen Zhan saw it and immediately called out.
And Ling Qingyu had already tied up his clothes and pants, as well as his hair, and jumped off the deck.
At this time, several whales were playing in the water on the surface of the sea, and long water jets sprayed into the sky from time to time, and the body that jumped over was more than ten meters long.
"Master, what's the matter?" Zheng Jin came out wearing a coat and asked anxiously.
"It's okay, Mr. Zheng, I'll treat you to a big meal at noon today!" Ling Qingyu smiled at her, and then jumped into the boat, which was already filled with sailors holding harpoons and javelins.
"I'll go, don't go." Yan San pulled Ling Qingyu, jokingly, the guy in the sea is so huge, is this something women do
"No," Ling Qingyu whispered in his ear: "First, you are not good at swimming, and second, don't let them find out." Ling Qingyu glanced at Zheng Jin who was watching with relish, but he couldn't let them know that the water on the boat There are such masters.
"Besides, you have also seen us catching sharks, which is more dangerous than this." Ling Qingyu smiled, and then told the sailor: "Just take one, don't kill more, and don't hurt the others!" Whale hunting is actually a It's a cruel thing, but now because of the food crisis on board, it has to be done.
"Yes, head of the house."
The two boats were released, and the whales didn't know the crisis was coming, they were just playing in the sea.
He asked the boat to circle a few whales a few times. Ling Qingyu took a fancy to the old whale. Even if he didn't get hunted, he probably wouldn't live long.
The two boats circled around the group of whales a few times, unknowingly separating the old whale from other whales, but the whale was old and matured, and felt that the two foreign objects beside it were dangerous , bumped head-to-head against a small boat, and at the same time slapped its tail violently, the huge water wave almost capsized the boat.
"Throw!" Seeing the whale rushing forward with its head held high, Ling Qingyu yelled, and then controlled the rudder. The sailors who had been preparing for a long time threw their harpoons and javelins at the head and neck of the whale clearly displayed in front of them.
The harpoon and javelin penetrated deeply into the whale's flesh, and bright red blood burst out, turning the sea red.
The whale suffered from pain, turned its head sharply, and dived into the sea.
Both the harpoon and the javelin were tied with ropes. At this time, the sailors on the ship pulled back with all their strength, but the whale was fifteen meters long and weighed more than six tons. It was struggling desperately at this time, so how could there be a few people? Can hold.
I saw the big fish churning in the water, dragging the boat up and down, and everyone on the boat also fell into a mess.
The people watching on the Fengshen screamed.
Yan San wanted to jump out, but was pulled by Ding Dong, and said, "Master, wait a minute."
"Relax, let go of the rope." Ling Qingyu wiped the sea water off his face and shouted.
As soon as the rope was loosened, the whale dived into the water, and the nearby whales noticed something was wrong, and turned around to prepare to gather.
Ling Qingyu asked the sailors to row the boat back to the side of the Fengshen, and shouted to Ding Dong: "Ding Dong, drop it."
"Okay!" Ding Dong replied, and put a few harpoons down from the boat. The ends of those harpoons were tied with ropes, and the ropes were connected to the noose posts on the deck of the Fengshen.
Shen Zhan took the harpoon, turned around and turned the boat back. Another boat attracted several other whales. Ling Qingyu leaned over the boat and carefully checked the direction of the blood.
A whale needs to come out to breathe, it cannot stay on the bottom of the sea for a long time, and there are its companions here, and it has so many injuries, it must come up.
Seeing the bloodshots gradually gathering, Ling Qingyu's vest felt cold, and said, "Be careful, it's about to come up."
The whale rushed up from the bottom of the boat, knocked the boat over immediately, and everyone on board fell into the sea.
When Ling Qingyu saw the black shadow below, she had already grabbed a harpoon. When the boat turned over in the air, she had already found the direction of the whale. Since eating the snake pill, her reaction and physical strength Both have been greatly improved, and at this moment, the head of the whale rushing out of the sea seemed to be in slow motion in her eyes, so she thrust the harpoon into the jaw of the whale without hesitation.
The whale let out a cry, the voice was mournful, and Ling Qingyu was startled, and fell into the sea with the whale, and then was brought into the water again.
The whale was rolling in the sea in pain. If he let go at this time, he might be shot to death directly. Ling Qingyu held the harpoon tightly, and stuck her body against the whale, rising and diving as the whale rolled.
