Chapter 140 Despair at Sea (Part 1)

Guo Hao was wondering about his plan and suddenly felt a shaking, it seemed like he was on the boat.

At this time, Guo Hao remembered the ship he saw before he was unconscious. It turned out that it was not an illusion. There was really a ship passing by. The goddess of luck did not give up on him. His protagonist's halo was still there.

Guo Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he knew he was on the boat, but the next moment he became confused again because he didn't know where the ship was going. If he was going to Japan, how could he go back?

Guo Hao obviously thought too much. Now he can only move his eyes, so it’s good to save his life. He is actually worried about where the ship will go.

I haven't eaten well for a few days and I don't have any strength. At this time, a crew member sent some rice soup and the woman fed it to Guo Hao bit by bit. These days, he has relied on these rice soups to prosper.

"You have just recovered and can't eat. I'll make some porridge for you later. If you are in such good health, you will definitely get better."

The woman's Chinese is not very standard, and Guo Hao can barely understand it. He squeezed out a smile with force, but I don't know what the woman looked like.

In the next few days, Guo Hao slowly recovered. Two crew members on the boat could speak Chinese. Guo Hao learned through him that the ship was from Goryeo to Jiangnan.

Merchant ship heading to Jiangnan?

Guo Hao was very curious and thought that someone would dare to sail at this time?

Little did they know that China had a long history of navigation. As early as the late Neolithic Age, seven thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Chinese nation were able to use fire and stone axes to "become a boat, and sar wood is a oar."

By the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, with the gradual birth of wooden sailboats, large-scale maritime transportation and maritime wars emerged.

By the Qin and Han dynasties, the feat of Xu Fu's fleet of the Qin Dynasty crossing the Japanese and the Western Han dynasties sailing far away from the Indian Ocean occurred.

During the Three Kingdoms, Jin Dynasties, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Eastern Wu fleet cruised Taiwan and Nanyang. Faxian returned from India and the Chinese fleet sailed far to the Persian Gulf.

From the Tang and Five Dynasties to the Song and Yuan dynasties, China's navigation industry flourished in all respects, and the Maritime Silk Road was far away from the Red Sea and East Africa.

Due to the major breakthroughs in navigation technology marked by compass navigation, China has led the West to enter the "quantitative navigation" period.

In winter, it goes during the northwest monsoon, and the sailing is smooth and the ocean has a unique nature. The surface sea water has low salinity and high salinity. In winter, the equatorial temperature is relatively high and the salinity is also high.

Therefore, it is smooth to go in winter. In ancient times, ships had no power. Only by relying on nature, it is not impossible for Guo Hao to encounter sailing ships at this time.

The owner of this ship's name is Wang, and he is a nobleman from Goryeo. The one who takes care of him was a brother and sister, the man was a crew member, named Li Qingnan, and the woman was a cook. Others called him Li Wanniang.

From ancient times to the present, Goryeo has been affiliated with China many times, and its cultural influence has been affected. Many things are similar to those of the Han people.

As Guo Hao's body gradually recovered, Guo Hao could go out for activities. At this time, they had been wandering on the sea for ten days, and the vast sea was surrounded by the vast ocean, giving people a sense of oppression.

"Why are you out? You haven't recovered yet. It's cold outside. Go back soon."

Li Wanniang brought a bowl of dish that she didn't know what it was and asked Guo Hao to go back. Guo Hao was a little embarrassed to eat and drink for free these days.

"I just came out to see. The cabin is too stuffy. What kind of dish are you? Can you give me a try?"

Li Wanniang looked at the dishes in her hand and smiled and said, "It's just a bowl of sprouts. I brought a lot of them when I came out this time, but they didn't like to eat them. They all like to eat meat at sea."

Guo Hao smiled when he heard this. He wanted to eat meat, but probably he didn't have his share. After all, the load capacity of the ship is limited, and the rations for each crew member are fixed.

Li Wanniang handed Guo Hao the sprouts and handed him a bun. Guo Hao tasted them and asked, "It's not bad, but he was seriously injured and recovered. This material could not meet his physical needs at all.

"Are you not full? I'll take care of my brother asking for some meat. If I had known I wouldn't bring too much sprouts. I didn't expect to meet you."

After Li Wanniang finished speaking, she ran into the cabin. Soon after, there was a quarrel. Li Wanniang came out empty-handed, her eyes were red. It seemed that no one was willing to give him meat, so did his brother.

"It's okay, I'll eat this enough. Thank you for saving me. I will repay you when I arrive in Jiangnan."

Li Wanniang shook her head when she heard this. She had never thought about anything to repay her. Someone found Guo Hao on the sea, and Guo Hao had only breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Wanniang hadn't insisted on keeping him, Guo Hao would have been buried in the fish's belly at this time.

In the next few days, Guo Hao ate vegetarian dishes, and he rarely saw Li Wan's mother eating it. It seemed that he had distributed the food to Guo Hao.

Guo Hao was very grateful for this. He felt that he had some strength to reply, so he took the initiative to help the crew work. Although he had no experience in sailing, some questions could still be answered.

"Brother Hao, do you think the wind blows south in winter because of the cold wind in the north?"

"Yes, the cold wind in the north blows in winter, so the weather in the north will get colder, and the warm wind in the south will get warmer in the north in summer.

The location of Goryeo is called monsoon climate, which means that the four seasons are distinct, but they are actually caused by monsoon!”

Guo Hao's diligence and his knowledge and knowledge, the people on the boat gradually accepted him. Some people sometimes gave up a piece of meat, but most of them were not enough to eat, so Guo Hao mainly ate vegetables.

Guo Hao did not eat the meat he gave it up, but gave it to Li Wanniang, as a reward for her care for her.

More than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the sea is still everywhere. I heard from the crew that they are going to wander on the sea for three months, and it is already spring when they arrive in Jiangnan.

During the two months, he couldn't catch up with Li Fu's childbirth. Guo Hao prayed in his heart, hoping that Li Fu would not be like his mother.

When Guo Hao was wandering on the sea, Guo Wei could not withstand the pressure and returned to the court. Zhao Kuangyin went to the Li family and told Li Fu that Guo Hao was still in the Khitan and that his life and death were unknown. Li Fu fainted at that time.

When Guo Wei returned to Luoyang, he felt a pity when he thought of Guo Hao, but he was a minister after all, and he had to refuse to listen to the emperor's orders, so he could only send someone to inquire in private.

In December of the second year of Qianyou, every household was very lively, but the Guo family's house was deserted, with only father and daughter and maid Alan, and everyone else asked them to go back to celebrate the New Year.

In the cold room, Li Fu sat on the bed in a daze. Alan looked at her worriedly, and couldn't help but say, "Madam, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the children in your belly.

The young master is missing now, and your belly is his only bloodline. If you have three or two shorts, you can…”

Alan suddenly realized that it was inappropriate to say this, but she was also anxious. When Li Fu heard Alan's words, she lowered her head and touched her stomach.

"Boy, have you heard it? Can you tell me that your father is still alive? If he is still alive, you will move."

The child in Li Fu's belly seemed to have heard her words, and actually kicked her twice, and even Alan saw it.

"Madam, look, if he moves, the young master will definitely be fine!"

...

On the vast sea, a ship slowly headed south. Another morning, Guo Hao skillfully raised the sails and calculated that the New Year was about to celebrate.

The atmosphere on the boat these days is a bit weird, mainly because of Li Wanniang.

Usually, there were no women on the ship during sailing, but the Li brothers and sisters could not resist the temptation of money and were lured onto the ship by the head.

At first, Li Wanniang didn't notice it, but after a long time, the crew looked at her with something wrong. However, with Guo Hao and Li Qingnan, the others did not show it too obviously.

However, a month passed, and the sea was so depressing that someone began to attack Li Wanniang, and Li Wanniang was almost forced.

Fortunately, Guo Hao appeared in time and saved Li Wanniang once, but he also exposed his skills and made the head pay attention to him.

"Who is that Han man? Why haven't you three beat him?"

The head keeps Li Wanniang on the boat, but in fact he has other ideas. He wants to be the first to taste the good things, so he sent someone to arrest Li Wanniang.

But all three of them were beaten away by Guo Hao, which made the head angry.

"We don't know either. We have been feeling uncomfortable these days. There is always a bloody smell in our mouths and diarrhea."

"What?"

The head was shocked when he heard this. Seeing that a few of his subordinates looked really bad, fear instantly enveloped him, and the things he had been worried about finally happened.
