Chapter two hundred and sixty seventh livelihood
"vomit"
Lu Chuan was lying on the bank. As soon as he took a breath, he immediately vomited out some gastric juice due to acid reflux.
He waited for a while before he could barely raise his head. What jumped into his sight was the swaying giant whale gang. The sea trade ship they were riding on had a broken mast, a broken body, and was stranded on the shore.
Fang Zhixi pursed his lips and stared blankly at the ship stranded on the shore, his mind almost blank.
For gangs like them who make a living on the sea, the boat is their life.
In addition to the improvement of personal cultivation, almost all the savings of the Giant Whale Gang over the past few decades are on this ship. It has been replaced from a broken plundering ship to a sea trade ship that can accommodate cargo and has cabins. The materials are replaced step by step.
, the continuously reinforced formation
But anything can happen on the endless sea. Even if they are only sailing in relatively safe offshore waters, a sudden storm may become a test of their life and death.
Lu Chuan was bargaining with Copper Coin Brother and felt the violent shaking of the cabin when the first storm hit. At that time, the experienced Tong Erhuan observed the direction and intensity of the storm on the deck, made a prompt decision and activated the formation reinforcement.
The hull speeds away from the storm.
Although they were eventually overtaken by storms and waves, Tong Erhuan's decision was undoubtedly correct. They were not far from their destination, Yaoguo, and the waves set off by the storm also accelerated their sailing speed. They were chasing the storm.
In the process, they also got closer to Yaoguo. Unfortunately, when they struggled to break out of the storm, the main mast on the ship also broke.
Fortunately, there was an island nearby. Tong Erhuan used his energy to control the ship and rammed it directly. The broken sea trade ship was stranded on the shore. Tong Erhuan and Li Sanlang were still able to move.
He quickly picked up the other people on the boat and threw them to the shore.
With a bang, ship doctor Shaoping was placed next to Lu Chuan by Li Sanlang, and then Li Sanlang also collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.
Shaoping was just a medical practitioner. He had already fainted after being hit in the storm. Lu Chuan stood up straight with difficulty, looked at the sea not far away where the wind and waves were still rising, and then turned to look at the coast behind him.
"How did you do it? Your meridians are obviously cut off and your energy is completely gone." After taking a few breaths, Li Sanlang stood up, took out low-level pills from the storage ring, stuffed them into Shaoping's mouth, and then raised his head.
Asked Lu Chuan.
"Maybe it's because I have a better physical condition." Although Lu Chuan didn't have any vitality in his body to mobilize, his awareness of fighting and his awareness of the crisis were still there. After being knocked over for the first time, he quickly got up and regained his balance.
, even though he lost his balance and hit the wall several times, he still protected his vitals before the impact.
"It seems that the wind and waves in the endless sea didn't give you the face of the Dragon King." Li Sanlang's attention was not on Lu Chuan. He just said something casually, then turned and walked towards Fang Zhixi, and also stuffed some pills to restore his vitality.
The medicine went into her mouth.
"Cheer up. It's the greatest luck that everyone is fine. If the ship is gone, we can still find a way."
"Third Uncle" Fang Zhixi came to his senses from his daze, and tears rolled out of his eyes.
It took two generations several decades to build a large ship. If the ship ran aground on this island, it was destined to be difficult to repair. And losing the ship meant that they would not be able to come out on Qiu Sha Island.
People have lost their jobs and livelihoods.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Sanlang's eyes also turned red, and his friends all stood up from the ground with difficulty and moved towards where they were.
Tong Erhuan took the elixir and began to regulate his breathing. He was the only Ruyi Realm combatant in the team and had to maintain his condition at all times. Li Sanlang also calmed down and began to count the number of people.
Most of the nearly twenty people on the boat were injured. Two unlucky guys hit their heads and lost their breath. Three others who were even more unlucky were probably swept away by the storm. They were all lost on the boat and on the shore.
traces.
Their cargo on the ship also suffered relatively large losses. Fortunately, the most critical and valuable cargo was placed in the storage ring. Although the loss was relatively large, it was not to the point of being completely exhausted.
Li Sanlang searched out the last useful things from the nearly broken ship, took one last look at the ship, and turned decisively to go ashore, "Buzzing Island is the territory of the Xinghui Sect. These people who eat people without spitting out bones are not easy to deal with.
, we have to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible.
We rarely come to this island, but there are still a few old friends we know on the island. I will go look for them now. Zhixi and Er Ge will take everyone to the village over there to stay. I will be back soon.
.”
Most of the time, Li Sanlang called Fang Zhixi the young master or the young gang leader, and he was willing to follow her ideas. But at this moment, the situation was urgent, so Li Sanlang quickly took over the command from Fang Zhixi, who was a little confused.
During his trip to Jingguo, Lu Chuan also heard some information about Yaoguo from Cheng Guanxue, the three old sects of Sunyao, Yuehua, and Xinghui and the Presbyterian Council composed of two emerging sects, Hidden Sword and Talang.
took control of this country.
According to Li Sanlang, the Buzzing Island they are currently on probably falls under the jurisdiction of the Xinghui Sect. Lu Chuan is not familiar with this sea area and does not know where the Buzzing Island is. He finally landed ashore. Now he
What I am most concerned about is whether there is a Utopian Chamber of Commerce or a place that sells mobile phones on the island.
As long as you can contact the people in Utopia, the difficulties and troubles you face don't matter.
"Uncle Sanlang, is there a place that sells mobile phones on the island? As long as I can contact my relatives, they will immediately"
The expression on Li Sanlang's face changed rapidly. He was furious at first, but then slowly regained his composure. He reached out and patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder, "Be mature, we really are not in the mood to accompany you now."
What kind of Dragon King game are you playing?"
The group of them attracted attention as soon as they approached the village. After revealing their identities as the Jingguo caravan and monks in distress, the village chief accepted them and arranged an abandoned courtyard for them. The courtyard was somewhat dilapidated and looked like
No one has lived in it for a long time, and the original owner died in the sea long ago.
After Tong Erhuan entered the yard, he immediately found a place to continue regulating his breathing and recovering. Shaoping and others helped the wounded into the house to take care of them. Fang Zhixi led people with mobility to clean the yard and prepare food. No one arranged it.
Lu Chuan seemed to be isolated.
Even though he didn't originally belong to this team.
Lu Chuan didn't say much along the way. He was reflecting on his own problems and thinking about countermeasures. He was used to staying in Utopia, and he met the talkative Fang Zhixi on the boat. He subconsciously thought that everyone would trust him.
And he would often say funny things casually, which seemed even more frivolous and uninhibited, making it difficult for people to trust him. In addition, the timing of his request was also somewhat inappropriate, as the Whale Gang had just suffered a huge loss.
, people will naturally be more resistant to and reject the unreasonable demands made by him.
What's more, the price of a mobile phone is not a small sum. The approximate economic level of the Giant Whale Gang can be seen from the fact that there were only a few dozen Jingguo coins in the wallet that Fang Zhixi gave him yesterday.
This would be quite troublesome. He has nothing around him and can only give out promises. And now there is a slight chance that the whale gang may believe in him and they have no purchasing power. Maybe they need to change their thinking and let them take him to Utopia.
chamber of commerce
"Don't take it personally. Third uncle is straightforward and he doesn't mean to criticize you in public." Fang Zhixi took two bowls of food in his hand, squatted next to Lu Chuan, and whispered comfort.
"Ah, thank you." Lu Chuan was interrupted from his train of thought. When he saw that it was Fang Zhixi who had brought the rice, he quickly thanked him. "I don't blame Uncle Sanlang, it's just that I was too anxious."
"Sorry, I originally said that when Yaoguo completes the mission of this trip, he will help you contact your family." Fang Zhixi said and subconsciously looked back to the direction of the seaside where he was going, but at this time the sky was getting darker, and it was still dark.
She couldn't see anything through the courtyard wall.
"You also know our situation now. We will need money everywhere after we go back. I'm afraid we won't be able to spend such a large amount of money to buy a mobile phone."
Fang Zhixi did not hesitate and told Lu Chuan the truth calmly. She made the words clear in advance to avoid Lu Chuan's expectations and disappointment later.
"I can understand." Lu Chuan nodded, "But I am really anxious. I have been missing for too long, and my relatives must be very, very worried about me."
"It's good progress that you can think that your relatives will worry about you. You must never commit suicide again in the future." Fang Zhixi couldn't accept Lu Chuan's anxious words, so he just gave another advice from the perspective that Lu Chuan's relatives would be worried.
"Sister, do you believe me?" Lu Chuan thought about Fang Zhixi giving him all his private money bag before, and decided to give it another try.
"What do you believe in you? If you are saying that you are some kind of dragon king living in the world, I definitely don't believe it." Fang Zhixi glanced at Lu Chuan and said angrily.
"Of course not this." Lu Chuan said humbly, "I mean if I can contact my relatives, they will come to me soon. At that time, we will all repay you for your help and care for me along the way.
You don’t have to worry about the ship, I have a very good brother who owns a shipyard, and I can help you order a new sea trading ship with the money."
After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he turned to look at Fang Zhixi, who nodded first and then shook his head.
"I believe in you. If I had money, I would be willing to help you contact your family, but I can't gamble with everyone's money just because I believe in you.
Even if we can successfully deliver the goods this time, the money we get is very tight. We have to find a way to return to Jingguo from Yaoguo. We have to buy a new ship, the pension left by Ale and his family, and the following.
The principal amount of goods in a sea trade”
Fang Zhixi, however, looked away from Lu Chuan. She was worried that she would see Lu Chuan's disappointed eyes, but she couldn't help but want to help him.
"It's okay. Thank you for trusting me." Lu Chuan sighed inwardly. He understood Fang Zhixi's difficulties and said no more.
The two of them were eating their meals in silence. Lu Chuan had just finished half the bowl when Li Sanlang came back.
"How's it going?" Tong Erhuan also walked out of the house. After adjusting his breath for a long time, his condition improved a little.
"Ten Yuan Stones. He will take us to Chenxi tomorrow morning. Damn this immature glutton. His heart is really dark. He only charges us ten Yuan Stones for such a short distance. How dare he ask for it? If I had known that this would be the case."
He shouldn't have been saved."
Li Sanlang said angrily that although the other party was an old acquaintance, Fang Dachui was not here, so it was obvious that the other party did not recognize this relationship.
Of course Lu Chuan of Chenxi County knew that the capital of Yao Kingdom was going to Chenxi County. Lu Chuan felt a little more relaxed. There must be a Utopia Chamber of Commerce in the capital of Yao Kingdom. As long as he found the chamber of commerce, it would not be a problem to contact Utopia.
"Now this money has to be spent. Yaoguo is not as good as Jingguo. The kid is difficult to deal with. The most important thing is to be able to reach the dawn safely." Tong Erhuan was also very angry by the news. He took a deep breath and said in a dull voice.
.
"I think so too, so I have given him a deposit and agreed that we will go to the southwest to look for him early tomorrow morning."
Li Sanlang and Tong Erhuan had a tacit understanding. They looked at each other and nodded to understand each other's thoughts. Then Li Sanlang took the meal from Hu Liubao and squatted in the courtyard to eat.
After everyone in the Giant Whale Gang finished eating, there was no other activity. After this miserable day, everyone was no longer as interested in listening to Lu Chuan's stories as they were at sea. Some people cleared a clean area and prepared to sit on the ground to deal with a group of people.
At night, some people simply meditate and practice.
Although Lu Chuan also felt a little tired, he still found a branch first, held it and made sword moves.
Ever since that day when he forcibly borrowed a sword and hit the Tree of No Return, he had lost his sense of the way of the sword. Whenever he had a chance, he would try sword moves to try to reactivate the way of the sword. No one in the Giant Whale Gang used swords. Before, he
When I was on the boat, I could only enjoy myself with Aunt Ping's rolling pin from time to time.
Fang Zhixi watched Lu Chuan dance with tree branches for a while. She didn't know if it was because Lu Chuan was so good-looking, but she actually felt that Lu Chuan's random gestures with a tree branch like this had a special beauty.
After practicing for a while, Lu Chuan finally stopped in frustration. There were already some snoring sounds in the yard, and it would disturb others if he continued to practice. Moreover, after practicing for such a long time, he also discovered that he seemed to be unable to touch the kendo for a while.
It would be great if we were still in Utopia. As long as the body and the Tao are in harmony, if it works, it will work, and if it doesn't, it won't work.
Lu Chuan sat on the stone bench in the courtyard. After he stopped running, the sounds that entered his ears became much purer. The seaside village was quiet at night, and only the continuous snoring mixed with the sea breeze rushed into his ears.
.
He just wanted to close his eyes, preparing to use the Far Transformation Technique to absorb a little bit of vitality. However, before his eyes were completely closed, they suddenly opened wide. He stood up from the stone bench and listened attentively.
