Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 335 [Set sail to the sea]

  The passenger ship preparing to set sail is moored at a berth on the pier, next to the trestle.

  Customers and crew members on and off the ship can only use long boards to get up and down. There are no handrails on both sides of the board, and walking up is trembling, which makes many timid people panic, and even falls into the water from time to time. Fortunately, there is never a shortage of people who can swim here, but no one has hurt their lives.

  Compared to this, those laborers who carried the big bags and transported the goods into the cabin or out of the ship walked more steadily. The board that bounces with gravity is like flat ground to them, and they walk steadily and quickly.

  Of course, when Fang Chang walked on it, he couldn't feel any weight on the board.

  He looked at the guest room, and decided that he would choose this ship for travel.

  After all, the movements of several miles around cannot escape my induction, and the spiritual induction has always been accurate. The sailors on this ship are generally reliable, so they simply settled down. Fang Chang didn't have any other luggage, he just paid the deposit, got the room key directly, and walked into his residence.

   It seems to be preferential treatment for guests who spend money. This is not the kind of plank bed that is common when sailing, but a separate living room, and there is a comfortable large hammock.

  According to the person who introduced him on board, the hammock can filter out the fluctuations of the wind and waves outside to the greatest extent, and it is relatively more comfortable to sleep on.

  After Fang Chang paid the deposit, it was two sailors who were specially used to entertain guests, leading him to familiarize himself with the structure inside the cabin, and telling him the precautions by the way.

"The sailing time is approaching. Guests, please pay attention to yourself. Don't delay the time. After all, if the ship is out of date, the ship will not wait and the deposit will not be refunded. Of course, the goods consigned on it will still be unloaded at the destination port according to the previous agreement. Storage, but the storage fee needs to be paid by yourself.”

   "Okay." Fang Chang nodded and continued to check the clean cabin inside.

  It seems that the people in the boat put their heart into arranging the living environment. The bedding on the hammock is very new, and the floor has been wiped clean and less dusty. On the small table in the room, several bamboo and wooden teapots and cups are neatly placed together, buckled in a shallow wooden plate.

  The little crew member who led him here continued:

"Boiled water is not provided in the cabin, but hot water will be provided at any time. As long as there is a need, just greet us outside the door. In addition, the meals on the ship will not be provided uniformly, let alone delivered to your room. Go below the deck, there is a small dining hall, you can eat as much as you want, you just need to wait in line."

  Fang Chang nodded and continued walking forward.

  It is similar to the house assigned to this cabin. The corridor is full of both sides. Listening to the movement, most of them are already occupied. Thinking about the remaining cabins, some of them should have been sold, but the owner has not yet boarded the ship.

   Occasionally, a few of them would nod their heads when they opened the door. Fang Chang took a closer look, and found that most of them were dressed as businessmen, and they probably brought goods to sell in the East China Sea.

   After explaining the precautions on his own, the little crew member bowed and said to this seemingly intimate customer:

"Guests can go to rest by themselves, or go around the non-cargo space on the ship, or disembark. There are many places to play around, but please remember to come back before sailing—if it's nothing important, just stay on the ship .I still have things to do, so let’s go to work.”

  Fang Chang cupped his hands slightly: "Thank you."

  He walked into his own single room alone, untied the package and Lingquan sword and put them aside, took off his coat and lay down gently on the hammock.

  It is very comfortable.

   Moreover, at this angle, the sunlight outside the window happened to shine in, without being blocked by the surrounding layers of masts and cables.

The food on the boat is okay, because it is close to the shore, it can even provide fresh vegetables, but the types of ingredients are not too many, and the patterns are also average. It is a good place for ordinary people. .

  After dinner, Fang Chang found a railing and lay down on it to watch the sea view.

He calculated carefully in his heart. According to the news he just received from the crew, this ship will not go too deep into the East China Sea, but will land on the island closest to Chaoyun Port. Find transportation to go where you want to go.

  After all, the East China Sea is very vast, and the islands in it are dotted with intricate dots. There is no route that is perfect for large ships and covers a wider area.

  Looking from here, you can see the busy sailors on the ships on both sides.

They are often well-trained, or they repair and tidy up the ship, fill some insignificant ship board wounds, or climb to the top of the mast, assist the people below, and use pulley blocks to hang the huge hard sail on the mast. Then start tidying up the cables.

  Two hours before departure, Fang Chang finally saw the captain himself.

  He looks quite old, and compared to those citizens on the surrounding shore, he looks more mature. The sea-breathed face recorded the captain's experience like a medal.

   "Leave—ship——!"

  Happy voices came from the outer deck. It was the crew members with loud voices specially found on the ship. Every time they shouted before sailing, it refreshed their minds and reminded the people nearby to get on board quickly.

   Sure enough, after waiting for another half a quarter of an hour, the ship took back the boards.

  Then the thick anchor chain was lifted out of the water and fastened, and the mooring rope that tied the boat to the dock was also untied. Then the crew took out the oars, raised the sails a little bit, and with the help of the wind, gently swung out from the edge of the pier and headed straight for the distant sea.

   "Hoist the sails!"

  The captain looked at the direction of the wind and ordered to the sailors below.

   Soon everyone worked together to raise the heavy sail, and then adjusted the direction. Taking advantage of the wind blowing from the land during the winter day, they headed straight for the East China Sea.

  The pier is getting further away, and the masts such as forests are gradually disappearing on the horizon.

  After completing the most risky outbound operation, the crew members gradually relaxed, stopped their movements, and returned to their posts.

  In the cabin, those crew members who watched the movement outside through the window, seeing that they had successfully set sail, also began to gradually come out of the cabin to move around. Some of them talked with each other, some walked around to check the scenery outside, and some went to the place where the bulk cargo was handled on the ship to buy some food and gadgets.

  Fang Chang also came out and looked around.

  The sea has always been "three feet of waves without wind", but now there is wind, and the waves are constantly rising and falling. Ships passing through the water, creaking and creaking with the waves.

   Thank you zzzzfl for your reward.
