Wan Dahai picked up the wine cup and drank a glass of wine. He silently took a piece of salted fish meat and chewed it slowly. Then he said in a deep voice: "If there are any regrets, it is indeed a bit regretful. The first regret is

That's it... I have worked hard all my life, thinking about my employer, working hard through hardships, but in the end, I ended up with no guarantee of survival. I was sued by my employer and even laughed at because of my reputation.

, I would hit a rock when I crossed the East Beach, causing the death of both the owner and the ship. This made me feel that all the hard work in this life was of no value and that I had been working in vain."

Mr. Liu nodded slowly and said: "Brother Wan, I understand how you feel. I think the same thing. People say that a scholar will die for his confidant. But with such a boss, there is nothing you can do. The problem is not yours.

's fault."

Wan Dahai said: "Of course I know it's not my fault, but it's frustrating after all. Every time I think about these things, I can't sleep at night."

Fang Zian said in a deep voice: "Uncle Wan, don't use other people's mistakes to punish yourself. It's their fault, not ours. As long as we have a clear conscience, be honest, and take care of ourselves."

Wan Dahai looked at Fang Zian and nodded: "What you said is quite right. It's their fault. Why can't I sleep? It's really strange."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "That just shows that Mr. Wan, you are a kind person and a person with moral concepts of right and wrong. But in fact, we all live for ourselves, not to please others. For example, what did you say, Mr. Wan?

I don't think so, but I don't think so. You see, I came here because I heard about your reputation. Those who slander you are only a few. Most people have a clear idea of ​​right and wrong, and they all know

Mr. Wan, your character and ability are outstanding, otherwise why would they recommend you to me? If you have to care about other people’s opinions, then you should also look at the opinions of the majority of people and not be swayed by the opinions of a small group of people. As the saying goes, one person

It's hard to get what you want. Ninety people out of a hundred are satisfied with you. Isn't it more worthy of happiness than the opinions of the other ten people? Is it possible that we have to satisfy those ten people and make the other ninety people dissatisfied? Uncle Wan

, don’t be unhappy because of this.”

Wan Dahai and Mr. Liu nodded repeatedly. Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't realize that Mr. Fang is so good at comforting people. What he said is absolutely correct."

Wan Dahai looked at Fang Zian and suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was not as reckless and immature as he thought. To be able to say this, he must be someone who is experienced in world affairs. From what this young man said

Coming out, people can't help but be a little surprised.

"Let's not mention that matter. It has passed, so don't worry about it anymore. Apart from that, is there anything else you regret?" Mr. Liu raised his head and said with a smile.

Wan Dahai said: "If there is any regret, it is that I have been sailing for decades in my life and have never sailed an eight-masted dragon boat. I have sailed almost all large ships, including official ships, merchant ships, and military ships.

, but I have never touched the most powerful eight-masted divine dragon boat in the Song Dynasty. That year, my Song Dynasty fleet went to Korea, and the ship went out to sea from Quanzhou Pier. I was sailing on the sea at that time,

I saw the fleet in the distance on the sea under the sun. The eight-masted dragon boat was sailing in front, with its huge sails, majestic bow, and the way it looked like it was cutting through the waves with its head held high. It was simply unimaginable. Since then, I have been

I dreamed of being able to personally control an eight-masted dragon boat. But for decades, I have not been able to do so. After all, the dragon boat has never been seen again since that time."

Even though Wan Dahai was talking about the time he saw the eight-masted divine dragon boat when he was a boy, he still looked a little confused.

Excited, leisurely and fascinated.

Mr. Liu shook his head and laughed, looked at Fang Zian and said, "What did I say?"

Fang Zian smiled and nodded: "As expected, Mr. Liu and Mr. Wan are close friends. What he said is absolutely correct."

Wan Dahai said in surprise: "What are you talking about?"

Mr. Liu raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Brother Wan, congratulations, your dream has come true. To be honest, the boat I am building for Young Master Fang is an eight-masted sailboat. Although it is not the divine dragon boat of the year, it is indeed

It's an eight-masted sailboat. To be honest, the reason why I am willing to bring Mr. Fang to see you is not because of how much I approve of Mr. Fang, but because I can't think of anyone else who is qualified to pilot this big ship.

Who is worthy of being the leader of that ship? Of course except you, Brother Wan."

Wan Dahai said in surprise: "Seriously? Is that really an eight-masted ship? Brother Fuye, please don't lie to me."

Mr. Liu raised his head and smiled and said: "How dare I lie to you, brother? It is indeed an eight-masted one, but it is used as our three-masted one by others. But the base components are all eight-masted. Maybe it was used by those who don't understand.

People are wasting their resources."

Wan Dahai's expression was full of excitement. He rubbed his hands and thought for a while, but his expression dimmed again, and he said softly: "It's a pity, it's a pity, I'm old, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. No matter how good the boat is, I'm afraid it's too bad."

I can’t get on the boat and go to sea.”

Mr. Liu frowned and said: "Brother Wan, you are not old. Your body is still very healthy, do you want to sit at home and wait for death? The regrets you just mentioned can be made up for. There is still time, how can you bring your regrets to the coffin?

Do you want to go there? I am here to advise you. Actually, I hope you can make up for your regrets."

Wan Dahai shook his head and smacked his lips: "Brother, I understand what you are thinking, but I do have difficulties. I'm afraid I won't be able to go to sea."

Mr. Liu was extremely disappointed. He thought that Wan Dahai would definitely agree as soon as he brought it up. Unexpectedly, he was actually rejected, which really made him a little embarrassed.

Fang Zian was also disappointed, but he looked on coldly and found that things were not that simple. Wan Dahai was older, but his actions and speech were still nimble, his voice was high-pitched, and he was as strong as a middle-aged man. Shicai

When he learned about the eight-masted ship, his excitement and surprise were real. But I don't know why he refused to agree, and he even refused the boss's invitation, which is also puzzling.

"Uncle Wan, it is their glory for soldiers to die on the battlefield. For people like Uncle Wan, if I say something offensive, even if they die, they should die on the sea, in the waves, not at home. That is also Uncle Wan

Glory. Uncle Wan is like a general who has been fighting for decades. How could he allow himself to end his life lying in bed and listening to the sound of the waves, leaving behind many regrets? This is unimaginable. Uncle Wan, you may have

I hope you can tell me what other difficulties you have, and if you have any conditions, feel free to put them forward. I will do my best to satisfy you. Mr. Wan, I am really thirsty for talents and hope to get your help. Secondly, it is also true.

I don’t want to see Mr. Wan give up what he loves all his life and just be idle here. I don’t want Mr. Wan to be unable to develop his skills throughout his life. You will definitely regret it in the future." Fang Zian said in a deep voice.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Fang is the most eloquent. He said everything I wanted to say." Mr. Liu nodded with his head aside.

Wan Dahai sighed and said: "Hey, to be honest, you are not the first to invite me to go to sea. After I was idle at home, people came to invite me one after another, but I rejected them all. One of them was because of my relationship with the Lin family.

The second thing is that they are not very sincere towards me, they just want me to work hard for them. I have a bad temper.

Brother Ye should be aware that I won’t do anything for someone I don’t like. My temper has never changed from when I was young to now. I don’t care no matter how much money you give me, I will go fishing in the sea.

You can also support your family, and if you don’t get along, there’s no need to talk about anything.”

Fang Zian nodded and said with a smile: "I see, it turns out that Mr. Wan didn't meet my eyes."

Wan Dahai hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Master Fang, don't be too worried. I'm not talking about you. You are the person brought by Brother Fushun. Brother Fushun can resume your old career for you, which means you are a good person. I believe in his vision.

, you should also be a benevolent and righteous person. Let me tell the truth. When I turned down those people's invitations, I told them that I had washed my hands and never went to sea again. Some people didn't say anything, but some people

But he was so arrogant and shameless. Recently, the Li Shaodong family of Shunfeng Boating Company in Qiantang County came to invite me, but I rejected him for the same reason. But this guy refused to leave and came to harass me day and night, which made me very angry.

The Li Shaodong family said that they would not give up unless I swore never to go to sea. I felt so angry that they swore never to go to sea again. Not even to go fishing. The Li Shaodong family

He said that he wanted to supervise me, so he sent someone to live nearby and come to check my whereabouts every day. Sometimes someone would follow me when I went to the toilet, which was really annoying. The Li family is a big family, and I can't afford to offend them.

, although I really want to kill those bitches with a harpoon, but that’s just a thought. If I act impulsively, it will cause trouble for my family. I’m really too lazy to fight with you.

Yes. The young master of the Li family comes to check in person from time to time, which is really disgusting. Today, brother Fushun brought Mr. Li here. I understand what he said. I really want to promise you, but I can't.

I swore and swore that if I agreed to Mr. Fang's words, the Li family would definitely cause trouble for my family. I was so angry that day that I swore that if I went to sea again, I would let them do whatever they wanted. Hey, I

I have tied myself into a knot."

Fang Zian and Liu Tou were both shocked. Liu Tou smiled bitterly and said: "It's really ridiculous to have such a thing. How did you get entangled with others? And you were deceived by others? What are you doing with swearing? Are you guilty?

If you don’t go out to sea to do other people’s business, what can you do?”

Wan Dahai slapped his thigh and blamed himself: "Isn't it true? I am also very stupid. I don't think well when I get angry, and I actually made that oath. Now I can't even go to the sea to fish. I'm so angry."

"

Fang Zian couldn't laugh or cry at the side. This thing was really weird. Wan Dahai was actually trapped by the oath he swore. This is also his character, fiery and straightforward, without any tricks. The people of the Li family are also rogues.

Not only did he stalk him, but he also pestered him endlessly and forced him to swear. This is a typical rogue behavior. What is annoying is that the young master also sent people to keep an eye on him. This is a rogue at his best. People are not willing to help him, but they still can't help him.

No need to do this.

At this point, there is actually nothing more to say. It’s not that they are unwilling, but they are trapped by this weird thing. Fang Zian and Mr. Liu have nothing to say. At the moment, the three of them eat a

After drinking together, we changed the subject and talked about other things. Wan Dahai kept talking about the eight-masted ship and asked endless questions. It was obvious that after being moved, he couldn't control it and became extremely interested. The more this happened, the more he became interested.

It can be seen that he is getting more and more frustrated.

After dinner, Wan Dahai's wife also made a bed in the wing room for the three of them to rest. It was so late and they couldn't go back, so they could only stay here for one night. Mr. Liu went to bed with his young apprentice and soon
Chapter completed!
