A huge wooden fishing boat rescued Zhao Wuji from the sea, but due to language barriers, they were unable to communicate effectively.

Zhao Wuji had to pretend to be mute. Fortunately, he could understand some of the small seal characters on the ship.

Still, he expressed gratitude to the captain and other crew members.

Similarly, Zhao Wuji also understood the gesture of the other party suggesting that he temporarily become a fisherman in exchange for three meals a day.

"It's just that the captain's three fingers mean that it will be three days before the land, or three days before the next fishing ground?" Zhao Wuji thought while arranging his kayak.

"Judging from their reactions, they are somewhat curious about plastic products, but turn a blind eye to iron knives. There are no firearms or steam engines on the ship. Is this planet still in the age of cold weapons? Unfortunately, it is impossible to judge whether this is a high-level weapon or a low-level one. Wu."

"There were dozens of people on this fishing boat, and they were all quite well-behaved. Although they were a little curious about the kayak, they did not try to take possession of it."

"Well, I don't want to think about that much anymore. After we get ashore, find a library. With the help of a dictionary, we should be able to understand all the small seal characters unified by these planets."

Zhao Wuji didn't realize that while he was thinking wildly, the captain and first mate were also analyzing him.

"This young mute looks like a scholar, not a bad guy."

"Well, the message he was trying to convey seemed to be that his boat was in an accident and he was adrift at sea for several days."

"Maybe it's a big Chinese boat. I've seen similar kayaks on that kind of boat, but the material is different."

"Well, I've seen it too. It should be a lightweight kayak made of cowhide. It can be stored in large quantities on the boat, but it is not very durable and cannot be soaked in water for too long. It is not practical."

"Yeah, his cookies seem to be better than regular cookies too."

"Well, it may be military supplies from the previous country. But this mute is wearing ordinary clothes. He doesn't look like a soldier, but more like a traveler. In two or three weeks, we will have to get water from the shore, so let him come ashore."

"What if he wants to stay?"

"Well, if he wants to stay, that's fine. We've dealt with this situation a few times."

"The captain is really wise. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda."

"Well, it's not very wise, but you're pretty good at flattering me."

"Haha."

Zhao Wuji didn't know the ship's judgment, but after two or three days, he gradually became familiar with a young fisherman named Xiao Gong.

"Xiao Qin, you know a lot of Qin characters. From now on, we will call you Xiao Qin." "Yeah."

"Can you understand me?"

Zhao Wuji gestured that he could understand half of it, and Xiao Gong smiled.

"It's great to be able to understand even half of it, but it's a pity that you can't speak, otherwise I would know where your hometown is. We will be on duty together tonight, don't let me down, don't let the captain blame me."

Zhao Wuji nodded, and Xiao Gong continued.

"The captain hopes you can master fishing skills as soon as possible, otherwise you will be hungry after your biscuits are eaten."

Zhao Wuji nodded again. Xiao Gong looked at the sea, then at Zhao Wuji, and said with a smile.

"It's good that you're mute. At least you don't have to report the sea situation to the captain and others."

Zhao Wuji could only smile awkwardly and handed Xiao Gong a compressed biscuit to express his gratitude.

"Well, since you may be my fellow countryman, I will continue to take care of you."

Xiao Gong comes from a coastal country called Gong State. Its superior country is the Qin Empire that uses Xiao Zhuan. Zhao Wuji knows a lot of Xiaozhuan characters, so he is regarded as a fellow villager.

"Your biscuits are delicious, but it's a pity that you only have a few left. Otherwise, you can exchange them for food on the ship, so that even if you don't fish, you can wait until the time to dock without worries."

Zhao Wuji nodded again.

"Hey, Gong Zheng, is there anything going on here? There are a lot of pirates here. If you let them touch you, the captain will blame you."

Xiao Gong straightened his body and said firmly.

"Third officer, don't worry, I can take care of it all by myself, not to mention that I have my fellow countryman to help me now."

"That's good. It's always good to be careful. It's just that your fellow is like a scholar. You, a soldier, can't handle it well. What use can he be?"

"Third officer, in our country, the status of scholars is much higher than that of us soldiers."

"Okay, just do your own thing. I'll go over there to inspect."
