Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 19
The sailboat went all the way north. Except for the weather getting colder day by day, the road was calm.

As they were approaching, the boat boss lowered his voice and warned everyone:
"You are not allowed to speak, there is a war going on on the shore!"

The sailors said in a somewhat narrow-minded manner:
"Women with children quickly try to gag their children with something. If anyone makes any move, we will all be doomed!"

It was obvious that his words were not well-intentioned, and he was still trying to take advantage of him now.

What can women use to gag babies?You know everything with your butt.

Alas~ People's hearts are not old.

When Xia Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, but now on the boat, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, lest the boss of the boat got angry and kicked him off to feed the fish.

Everyone on the boat secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the destination was almost there. Some whispered: "It's so smooth! There was no wind or waves along the way. Thank you to the Goddess of the Sea!"

However, Chuanren didn't see it that way. He kept scanning the sea with his eyes. Unfortunately, the sea was filled with fog and he couldn't see anything!
Xia Yuanzhang was curious:
"Chuan Ren, what are you looking at?"

"Shop Manager Xia, don't you think it's too quiet? It's not right to be quiet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chuanwu nodded repeatedly:
"I just wanted to say, why is it so quiet here? It's a bit scary."

Chuanwu's voice was loud, and as soon as he spoke, the ship's boss heard him, and scolded him in a low voice with a tigerish face:
"Who's still talking? You don't want to live anymore? Shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Chunfang quickly hugged Xian'er and Chuanjie and tied their wrists together with a rope.

Zhu Chuanwen and Zhu Chuanjie wrapped their wives around each other and pressed them down with their own weight.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of seagulls came into the cabin. Looking out through the small window, seagulls were flying on the blue sea. In the distance, the land was already faintly visible.

Everyone in the cabin could not restrain their excitement, and they all got out of the cabin one after another, standing on the deck and looking towards the shore.

The shore is getting closer and closer, and the expectant faces are getting more and more excited.

Suddenly, a scream passed over the sea.

A cannonball exploded on the sea, causing huge waves.

The boss of the ship shouted for everyone to go back to the cabin and ordered the helmsman to turn around, but he couldn't hide in time.

The shells roared in one after another, and the originally calm sea seemed to be boiling. The waves hit the wooden boat, and the wooden boat heaved and swayed.

Chuanren held on to a pole tightly, and held on to Xia Yuanzhang with the other hand. He was also pointing at Shopkeeper Xia, a local snake, to take care of him. He couldn't let him die!
Chuanwu and the others held on to the rope tightly, stumbling around, but refused to let go.

They saw some of the ships that were with them being blown into two halves and sinking to the bottom of the sea, while some were set on fire with thick smoke billowing from them.

Chuanjie couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "Mom, we can't get to the shore."

Chuanwu cursed at the top of his lungs: "Fourth, you worthless thing, why are you crying? Our ship is fine."

Chuan Ren just wanted him to shut up and stop being so talkative.

But before he could open his mouth and take a breath of air mixed with the smell of gunpowder, there was a sudden loud noise, followed by a shake of the ship's hull, and the people in the cabin fell into a ball.

The boss of the ship was heard scolding: "Grandma, the cockpit was blown up."

The big ship was like a drunkard who had drunk too much, circling in the rolling waves, but completely lost its direction.

As luck would have it, the boat was swayed out of the shore by the waves stirred up by the cannonballs, and returned to the deep sea.

It felt like dumplings were falling from the sky. Everyone looked at the sky with fear, fearing that a cannonball would fall on their heads.

This flash lasted for a few hours, maybe even longer, but now everyone had lost the concept of time!Finally, the ship calmed down. Although the smoke still enveloped the fleet, it was probably safe. Everyone was terrified for the rest of their lives.

The boss of the ship sighed: "Oh, this is how the Poseidon is really wise. But if you can't control the rudder or sail the ship, you won't be able to help yourself in the future. Let's live or die by fate."

The sailboat drifted aimlessly on the sea for several days and nights.

Every day, people collapse due to hunger or fatigue.

The fallen people could only sink their bodies into the sea amidst the wails of their loved ones, and their heavy dreams of crossing the Guandong region were frozen in the cold seabed.

The initial pain and horror caused by the death have turned into numbness after witnessing the successive deaths.

This reminds me of what the old man said. The graves along the road from Qilu Shanhaiguan are all of the folks who have never fulfilled their ambitions. But in this vast sea, where can we bury these bones?
I'm afraid the best result is to feed the fish, right?

Even the stout boss of the ship was stooped, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked like a walking corpse.

Although everyone who was going to venture outside the customs had brought enough dry food, no one could afford such a waste.

Xia Yuanzhang was so hungry that he was dying and his eyes were darting everywhere.

His dry food fell into the sea when the cannonballs were raining from the sky. These days, he has been relying on Zhu Chuanren's charity to survive.

He weakly crawled to Chuanren and begged in a low voice: "Chuanren, do you still have something to eat? I'm starving to death."

When Chuanjie heard the sound, he couldn't help but looked at him and asked him, "You didn't bring any dry food?"

Xia Yuanzhang said: "Oh, my luggage has been swept into the sea. It has been several days. I relied on Chuanren's relief, otherwise I would have starved to death."

Chuanjie took Chuanren's hand and said:

"Brother, you'd better save some dry food to save your life. What if we have to float for a while longer? What will you do if you give it to him?"

Chuanren was not much better. These days, half of his dry food was given to Xia Yuanzhang. He could only ensure the minimum intake. Although he would not starve to death, he had already lost his strength.

If he were to fight with someone now, he would probably have to crawl there if he came across him.

However, he had invested a lot in Xia Yuanzhang, so he couldn't give up halfway. He touched Chuanren's little head:
"Okay, you take care of your own food and don't worry about me."

After saying that, he took out the last pancake from his arms and handed it to Xia Yuanzhang:
"Shopkeeper Xia, this is the last one. Each of us will get half of it. Don't worry about my mother and my brother's dry food. If they agree, I won't!"

Xia Yuanzhang sighed:
"Chuanren, if you can live to reach Palmshun alive for your life-saving grace, I will definitely repay you!"

"Then let's wait until we get there!" Chuanren waved his hand feebly, opened the water bag, lightly moistened his lips, and stopped talking.

Talking also requires energy, and this is what he lacks the most!

Xia Yuanzhang's mouth moved, and tears suddenly filled his deep-set eye sockets.

He carefully swallowed half of the pancake with the water Chuanjie handed him.

It took a lot of perseverance for him to resist eating the remaining half and handed it to Chuan Ren.

After a while, he seemed to have regained his strength. He sat up, held Chuanren's hand tightly and said, "Chuanren, you saved my life, thank you."

"Shopkeeper Xia, don't talk about this anymore." Chuanren really didn't have the energy to speak, his eyes were filled with confusion. There were not many hard-working time travelers like him.

But fortunately, God did not give up on them. After drifting like this for two more days, the boat finally docked, and the boatmen helped everyone off the boat.
