Daming Haikou

Mentality determines everything. This sentence is very reasonable. After Xiaotian figured out the current situation, he was only stunned for a while. After all, when he woke up, he was already quite psychologically prepared, so After thoroughly understanding his situation, Yu Xiaotian did not suffer much trouble because of it, but began to actively plan for the next step.

Yu Xiaotian is endowed with a natural optimism, one can even say that he has a bit of Ah Q spirit, this kind of situation did not knock him down, on the contrary, it cheered him up again.

Didn't it mean that he had traveled to the end of Ming Dynasty and the Apocalypse Year?it's not a big deal!People in this era can survive. Could it be that a person like him, who has hundreds of years of advanced knowledge and is in good health, cannot survive?When no one was paying attention to him, this guy actually raised his middle finger to the sky and secretly greeted the sky.

On this boat, Yu Xiaotian's temporary life is definitely not comfortable. Although the owner surnamed Liu has kept him, it does not mean that he completely trusts him, including some people on the boat. There is an attitude of mistrust.

So in the past two or three days, Shipowner Liu arranged for people to watch Yu Xiaotian overtly and secretly, and did not allow Yu Xiaotian to enter the cabin easily. Even at night, as long as it does not rain, Yu Xiaotian can only find a place on the deck. sleep out.

As for the heavy work and even the dirty work on the boat, the boatman on the boat likes to ask Yu Xiaotian to help out, even the cook on the boat, Li Jizi, always wants to play tricks on Yu Xiaotian.

But these things did not bother Yu Xiaotian much. For him, it is normal for a stranger to be resisted by the group. As long as he takes time, he believes that he can be accepted by these people. Life can't always be like this, he will always have his day.

As for not letting him go to sleep in the cabin, it was also in line with Xiaotian's wishes. After two or three days of observation, he found that Captain Liu and the boatman obviously did not pay much attention to the hygiene of the boat. The boat was not as dilapidated as he thought at first, it was just that no one took care of it on weekdays, so the inside and outside of the hull looked dirty, which made the boat much older than its actual age, and it was precisely because no one paid attention to the The problem of sanitation is that the garbage and dirt on the ship are everywhere, the cabin is full of fleas and mosquitoes, and there are mice infested from time to time, and there is a smelly smell everywhere.

Yu Xiaotian couldn't stand this kind of environment at all, he couldn't figure it out, how could these people endure such an environment after traveling at sea for a long time, not to mention comfortable and uncomfortable, such an environment alone could easily cause diseases, this gang Living in such an environment, people can still be alive and kicking, it is difficult for them!

When Yu Xiaotian was idle, he even imagined that if this boat was his, the first thing he would do would be to order all the boatmen to clean up the whole boat, and clean the boat thoroughly. , but also to clean up the bottom of the hull, and remove those messy things such as barnacles, sea oysters, and sea rainbows attached to the hull.

This is more plausible, at least it can not only ensure the health of the people on board, but also effectively increase the speed of the ship, but at the moment Yu Xiaotian is not interested in doing this, after all, this ship is not his, God knows he can How long does it take to hang around on this boat, and he might run away as soon as it docks, so let's do whatever we want!

Don't let him sleep in the cabin, he is just happy and clean, the air on the deck is fresh, and there are not many small things like mosquitoes and fleas to bother him, and he doesn't have to listen to the sound of snoring and farting in the cabin at night, and smell the stench in the cabin , can still quietly look at the sky full of stars, and use this time to think more about his future.

So he didn't have much opinion on the unfair treatment he received, and he didn't care too much about the boatmen, but put all his energy on this boat for the time being.

Although this boat looks like a fishing boat on the surface, it has undergone a certain degree of modification in essence. The cabin on the boat has been enlarged so that the boat can carry more cargo.

Through observation, Yu Xiaotian found that this boat was neither like a standard Fuchuan ship nor a standard Canton boat, but a bit like an ancient sailing boat called a bird boat that he had seen before.

The bow of this ship is sharp and beak-shaped. The length of the ship is about 20 meters, and the width of the ship is four to five meters. The displacement of a ship of this size is at most about tens of tons. In the middle position, another mast is at the front of the ship, and there is a low poop at the stern of the ship, which is the position where the helmsman operates the rudder, and it is also the cabin where the owner rests, while the crew rests in the cabin.

Due to material or design reasons, most of the ancient sea ships in China and even in the world have relatively large aspect ratios and appear short and fat. Therefore, even with the wind and full sails, the speed of this kind of ship is not so high. .

For Yu Xiaotian who had been on a freighter for a few days, the speed of the ship was a bit overwhelming. In addition, it was summer during this period, and the wind direction was mostly southeast. The ship sailed south and was in a headwind In order to obtain wind power, the ship has to constantly adjust its course and take a zigzag route on the sea, which slows down the speed of sailing even more.

After two or three days, although Yu Xiaotian didn't know the sailing route, he estimated that the distance the ship actually traveled was not too far.

However, although Chinese-style sailboats have such shortcomings, the hard sails of Chinese-style sailboats have admirable advantages, that is, Chinese-style hard sails can make better use of the wind direction and wind force than Western-style soft sails. The utilization efficiency of sailboats will be higher, and the most important thing is that Chinese sailboats use hard sails, which effectively reduces the number of people operating the sails and reduces the labor cost of the boat.

The reason why Yu Xiaotian understands these things is because he was a boat model lover in the old time and space. He liked to make boat models when he was free since he was a teenager, and his interest is also very unique. The ship models are ancient Chinese and Western sailboats, so they have a good understanding of ancient Chinese and Western sailboats.

Only because of limited conditions, in the old time and space he lived in, sailing ships along the coast of China have basically disappeared, even if there are still some motor sailing ships, it is difficult to get in touch, let alone take a ride on this ancient sailing ship. If there were such ancient sailing ships in the old time and space, they would have been collected as antiques long ago. It must be difficult to actually get in touch with such ancient sailing ships.

Therefore, before Yu Xiaotian's sailing skills, he only stayed on the model and did not know how to operate such a sailing boat.

Now God has thrown him into this time and space, and he happened to be caught on this boat again. Naturally, Yu Xiaotian would not give up such a great opportunity, so when his body recovered a little, he started to get up and turn around in the boat , Fumbled here and there, and personally reached out to help the boatmen with some work, and took the opportunity to familiarize themselves with and learn how to operate such a sailboat.

It's a pity that he is still pretending to be dumb at the moment and can't ask questions, so he hasn't learned much yet, so he can only help the boatmen, help out, and do some chores.

However, Yu Xiaotian's performance of running around on the boat fell into the eyes of other people on the boat, but he turned into a very hard-working dumb man, not a lazy guy, and he didn't know how to steer a boat at all, so the people on the boat treated him The doubts were gradually dispelled. Pirates don’t know how to operate a boat. It’s just a joke. A discerning person can see that Yu Xiaotian has never touched a boat. If he is a pirate, few people will believe him.

So gradually the people on the boat relaxed their vigilance towards Xiaotian and stopped being so hostile to him, which made Yu Xiaotian's life easier.

It’s just that his status is still very low. The people on the boat saw that he was born tall and strong, and he seemed to have great strength, so they liked to yell at him, instructing him to do this or that, and the clumsy work was done after his body recovered. After that, basically everything was handed over to him.

Although the people on the boat gradually gave up their hostility towards Xiaotian, few people on board were well-intentioned, because Yu Xiaotian was dumb, and he acted a little silly, curious about everything. People, this group of people will naturally not give up having some fun on the lonely sea.

So many people on the boat tried to play tricks on Yu Xiaotian when they were full and had nothing to do, and took pleasure in it, the worst of them was that Ma Biao.

After getting to know each other well, Yu Xiaotian gradually figured out the division of labor and identities of the crew on board. There were more than a dozen people on this boat, including boat owner Liu, among them were two helmsmen who were in charge of steering. One of them is responsible for operating the sails, and there are two other anchors, of which Li Zongzi also cooks part-time, and the other anchors cooperates with an upper-dou, and is mainly responsible for climbing up the mast for observation and observation.

In addition to these people, there are four people on board who have nothing to do, but their work is also very important, because they are all escorts specially hired by the ship owner. To put it bluntly, they are full-time bodyguards on the ship. Safe sailing at sea.

And when Yu Xiaotian was fished up at the beginning, the reason why he was misunderstood as a pirate shows that sailing on the sea in this era is very risky, and there must be pirates on the sea from time to time, so there will be such a full-time person on board. Escorts exist to protect the safety of ships.

Ma Biao is the leader of the four escorts. This guy has a rough personality, a short stature, and relatively strong muscles. It is a bit arrogant on the boat.

Moreover, this guy has a bad heart, probably because he looks at Yu Xiaotian's good body, and probably feels a little inferior. Although everyone has basically determined that Yu Xiaotian should not be a remnant of a pirate, this guy still likes to find Yu Xiaotian's trouble.

Relying on his ability to punch and kick, after Yu Xiaotian's body recovered, he insisted that Yu Xiaotian was a practicer on the grounds that Yu Xiaotian had calluses on his joints, and forced Yu Xiaotian to fight against him several times, claiming to Let him show his true form, insisting on competing with Yu Xiaotian in front of everyone on board, whether he is better than Ma Biao, or Yu Xiaotian, the "dumb".

If this were to be placed on the previous Yu Xiaotian, with Yu Xiaotian's temper, he would definitely not miss the opportunity to teach this guy a lesson, but considering his current situation, Yu Xiaotian could only bear with it several times. , Wanting to calm down and let others go, this made Ma Biao even more arrogant, and tried to force Yu Xiaotian to fight him again and again.

Yu Xiaotian watched the arrogant Ma Biao approaching every step of the way, a gleam of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: "Uncle can't bear it, uncle can bear it, auntie can't bear it!"You, surnamed Ma, are too fucking arrogant. If I don’t show off my power, you will treat me as a sick cat?If I don't let you know how powerful I am today, you don't know which leg to take first!

After thinking about it for a while, Yu Xiaotian secretly made up his mind to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, so he accompanied Ma Biao with a smiley face, hugging his fists like Ma Biao, then raised his legs and walked towards an open place in the middle of the boat , it can be regarded as agreeing to Ma Biao's request, and it can be regarded as a formal challenge!

The boatmen who were idle, full and had nothing to do immediately heard that the mute was going to fight, so they rushed towards the midship of the boat one after another with the intention of watching a good show, and even the boat owner Liu followed the crowd to surround him. Passed over, stood still and looked towards Ma Biao and Yu Xiaotian.
