Chapter 118 Going to sea
Chapter 118 Going to sea
It is true that the old village chief is not clear about the specific situation.
What's more, even his wife Jingyue doesn't know much about it.
Seeing that they were all unaware, Jing Cangming did not continue to ask, but from this point on, finding his father became one of his tasks.
Even though his father left on his own, he still wanted to find his father and ask him in person.
"Mom, do you remember that when I was a child, I accidentally discovered that there seemed to be a dragon-headed fishing boat in our warehouse," Jing Cangming asked.
Jingyue thought for a while and said, "I remember. I still remember your father scolded you because of this and told you not to get close to that ship."
"Yes, that's it. Where is it now?" Jing Cangming asked excitedly.
Jingyue said, "It's in the warehouse behind the house. No one has moved it. It's still there even after the house was renovated."
Jing Cangming ran excitedly to the back of the house.
There is a medium-sized warehouse behind the house, which is used to store things that are not used all year round.
When he pushed open the warehouse door, a cloud of dust blew towards Jing Cangming.
"Cough cough," Jing Cangming coughed and fanned away the dust with his hands. It looked as "charming" as the Magma Beast King Palace.
Jing Cangming stuck his head in and saw the boat at a glance. The entire hull was only three meters long, which was a very small boat.
But don't underestimate its size, it is indeed sturdy. It is Jing Kai's thing. I don't know what kind of wood it is made of.
There was actually a small sail and two oars on the boat.
Jing Cangming lifted it up easily, then walked out of the warehouse and came to the yard.
Jing Cangming cleaned the dust on the hull by himself.
It looked like no one had used it for years and was covered with a thick layer of dust.
But the whole ship looks like a new one.
It is said that this boat was brought back by Jing Kai after he went out alone.
No one knew where this came from, or why he brought him back.
Jingyue and the old village chief also came out of the house.
"Son, what are you going to do with it?" Jingyue asked.
Jing Cangming turned around and said with a smile, "Go to sea."
"What?! Are you leaving again?" Jingyue said with tears in her eyes.
Jing Cangming also nodded silently and said, "I have to leave again."
Jingyue burst into tears immediately, "You've been gone for three years, and now you're leaving again less than half a day after coming back."
Jing Cangming said somewhat guiltily, "I'm sorry, Mom. I still have a mission to complete. When I finish everything, I will come back and accompany you every day."
Jingyue stopped talking at this time, and her only response was the tears that kept flowing down her face.
The village chief said, "Go, child. Your world is much bigger than ours. There must be many wonderful things waiting for you to describe."
Jing Cangming walked up to Jingyue and hugged her quietly, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm leaving. Please take care of yourself."
Then he hugged the village chief and said, "Grandpa, you too, please take care of yourself and wait for me to come back!"
Jingyue said, "Let's go, be careful."
After saying that, she turned around and went back into the house. She really couldn't bear to see separation, especially after her husband left.
The old village chief saw him out the door and said, "Have a safe trip, kid!"
Jing Cangming said, "I know, grandpa, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he turned and left, but unlike when he came, when he left, he was dragging a boat behind him.
The village chief looked at Jing Cangming's departing back and coughed for a long time. He said with concern in his eyes, "Child, I don't know if we will have the chance to meet again. I really want to watch you grow up!"
He still wore his hood along the way, and people who knew him were tactful enough not to come forward and say hello.
They knew that Jing Cangming wore a hood in the village in order to avoid revealing his identity.
We left the village smoothly and then left Wanshou City.
Only after leaving Wanshou City did Jing Cangming summon Lingteng Dog, because in the city, everyone knew the Pavilion Master's Lingteng Dog.
Jing Cangming placed the boat behind the Lingteng dog and secured it, only to find that the boat was not even bigger than the Lingteng dog.
Jing Cangming rode on the Lingteng dog and took the boat and ran straight towards the port of the Western Continent.
Along the way, Lingteng Dog asked, "Boss, are you preparing to go out to sea?"
Jing Cangming nodded and said, "Yes, go out to sea and look for marine war beasts."
After hearing this, Lingteng Dog didn't ask any more questions.
Soon they arrived at the outskirts of the Western Continent.
Jing Cangming put away the Lingteng Dog and summoned the Qinglin Spider that had been nowhere to be found.
The Qinglin Spider is now at level 42. It is larger than the Lingteng Hound, less than six meters in size. Putting the boat on its body looks like a bucket, which is a bit funny.
Jing Cangming didn't give the Qinglin Spider time to speak, and ordered it to go to the port and put the boat into the water.
After taking back the Qinglin Spider, trouble came. A strong man who looked like a thug, kicked with an eight-character step and walked towards Jing Cangming in a very arrogant manner.
Jing Cangming was busy launching the boat and hadn't noticed the man approaching.
But Jing Cangming soon discovered it, because this guy was raising his hand to hit Jing Cangming on the head.
Then Jing Cangming dodged it by just turning his head.
Jing Cangming stood up angrily and turned to look at him, "Who are you? Why did you hit me?"
When the big man saw the young face, he couldn't help but become even more arrogant.
"Whose kid is this? How dare he disembark at the port I'm protecting? Have you paid the disembarkation fee?" the big man said carelessly.
Jing Cangming asked suspiciously, "Disembarkation fee? What disembarkation fee? I don't know."
Jing Cangming was obviously trying to play the pig and eat the tiger. He acted very pitiful and just like an ordinary harmless boy next door.
The big man looked more and more proud, "Boy, this is my territory. If you want to get off the boat here, you have to pay me."
"Ah? Then uncle, can I leave now?" Jing Cangming said pitifully.
The big man said, "That won't work. Your boat has already entered my water, so you have to pay me!"
Jing Cangming looked a little scared and said, "How much...how much...uncle."
"Since you are a child, I won't ask for much, just three hundred yuan. When you want to get off here you have to pay me another three hundred, so the total is six hundred yuan. I'll give you a discount, five hundred yuan."
"Ah? So much? But I don't have that much money. This is all I have on me," Jing Cangming took out a few coins from his arms.
Seeing these coins, the big man's eyes almost popped out, "Are you kidding me? Three dollars? Are you sending away beggars? Hurry up, ask your parents to send money, otherwise, don't blame me for bullying a child!"
Jing Cangming suddenly became a little nervous. "Then... then uncle, how about this, you come with me, my parents are over there, you come with me to get the money, and then you find an uncle to watch the boat for me, is that ok with you?"
The big man was happy when he heard it, "Okay, lead the way!"
In fact, the man who spent so much money is a well-known rogue who does all kinds of evil things by relying on the fact that his sister-in-law is a beast spirit.
When he sees someone powerful and influential, he dares not say a word and can only bully ordinary people.
But he is very lucky most of the time and always reaps a lot of rewards.
But this guy's luck was not very good today. He must have kicked the diamond board.
The big man waved his hand with a proud look on his face, and immediately a younger brother came running over and said, "You, watch the boat for this kid, I'll go get the money."
Then he pushed Jing Cangming and said, "Let's go, lead the way!"
Jing Cangming pretended to be in pain, "Ouch, I know uncle, it's in the alley ahead."
Seeing that Jing Cangming was just a child, the big man didn't have many concerns and followed him.
In order to facilitate the breeding of war beasts, the streets of the Western Continent are very wide. However, there are also some small alleys that large war beasts cannot enter, and the businesses conducted in them are all shameful.
When Jing Cangming walked into the alley, his face was filled with wanted posters of Jing Cangming.
The big man followed Jing Cangming into the alley and looked around, but didn't see anyone. All he could see were some colorful signs of brothels.
At this time, the big man began to be suspicious, "Boy! Stop! Where are your parents? Don't tell me they are doing business here!"
Jing Cangming stopped walking, turned around and took off his hood, "Hey! Don't I look familiar to you? It seems like my posters are everywhere on the street, right?"
As Jing Cangming spoke, he tore off a piece of paper from the wall and placed it next to his face, showing it to the big man.
The big man’s eyesight might not be very good, so he leaned in to take a closer look.
But the more he looked, the more sweat he felt on his face, so he turned around and was about to run while Jing Cangming wasn't paying attention.
He ran and shouted, "Help! Help! Wanted criminal! The wanted criminal from the School of Beasts is here!"
But it was too late. He was led too deep by Jing Cangming. Jing Cangming appeared in front of him in an instant and punched him in the chest, piercing him to death.
Customers from nearby stores came out to see what was happening.
Jing Cangming gave them a cold look and said, "If you don't want to die, then go back!"
After he shouted, all those who came out to watch the fun hid back.
In fact, everyone wants Jing Cangming's bounty, but they know that no one has the ability to do so.
After Jing Cangming killed the big man, he wiped the blood from his injury on his clothes.
Then he put his hood back on and walked towards the pier.
Jing Cangming came to the dock again and said to the big man watching the boat, "Uncle, the uncle has already got the money and went to play in the alley. Let me tell you something."
The big man didn't think much about it because his boss liked to go to that kind of place.
Seeing that the man did not suspect anything, Jing Cangming jumped onto the three-meter-long boat.
Open the sail, hold the oars in both hands, and dance like a Hot Wheels, moving forward rapidly.
Now Jing Cangming was already some distance away from the dock, and the big man's body was also discovered.
His eldest brother was hugging him and crying, and his sister-in-law was standing on the shore, trying to defeat Jing Cangming with her skills.
But Jing Cangming was too far away, and his skills couldn't hit him at all. Several fire skills either disappeared in the air or fell into the water.
Seeing that he couldn't be hit, Jing Cangming slowed down and leisurely enjoyed the freedom of the sea.
Jing Cangming was not in a hurry for success. He knew that it would take at least half a year to reach the sea from now on.
So he was no longer in a hurry and soon entered the rapids area, where the water automatically flowed to the sea.
Jing Cangming simply put away the sail, put down the oars, and just lay on the boat, enjoying the sunbath.
I fell asleep without realizing it. It was such a relaxing and comfortable sleep.
When Jing Cangming opened his eyes again, it was already dark.
The moonlight was reflected on the water, and not far away there were a few fishing boats going out to sea to fish.
But the difference is that their boats are big and have houses that can shelter them from wind and rain.
And my boat has only one hull.
He also didn't know how his father had survived the hard sea if he had really taken this small boat out to sea.
After waking up, Jing Cangming felt a little hungry.
But in the ocean, catching food is a piece of cake for Jing Cangming, who has an ocean element.
With just a slight movement of his fingers, the water would carry the fish to his boat.
The boats are all made of wood. Although this wood is not ordinary, wood is afraid of fire.
So Jing Cangming did not rashly start a fire on the boat.
Instead, he held the fish in one hand and summoned flames in his palm with the other hand, slowly roasting it.
Eat more when it’s cooked.
The leftover fish bones are just thrown into the sea.
This life is so pleasant.
But there are always some unsatisfactory things.
For example, Jing Cangming is seasick...
After eating the fish, Jing Cangming fell asleep again because he felt like vomiting.
In this way, the days passed one by one, and soon a month had passed.
Before, there had always been sporadic fishing boats fishing, but gradually, Jing Cangming's boat was the only one still sailing on the sea.
The other fishing boats had already reached their limit, and going any further would be life-threatening, so everyone turned back.
Of course, this does not mean that the previous sea area is not dangerous, but in comparison, the risk factor is smaller, and the possibility of survival is greater after encountering danger.
Jing Cangming had witnessed the sinking of a fishing boat with his own eyes, and several lives died not far from him.
If you continue sailing along this sea for several months, you will reach the Great Western Sea.
But now there is a problem, that is, there is no wind in this sea area.
In other words, if you want to move forward, you have to row the boat manually. It is basically impossible to rely on the wind to push the boat.
Jing Cangming should also be having a headache, as his arm must be broken.
But there is no way. Everything will be fine when I come back. I can ride on the marine war beasts and move quickly.
But now, hey, thinking about it, Jing Cangming picked up the oar helplessly.
Paddling hard.
Jing Cangming didn't dare to use too much strength, for fear of breaking the oar. If it broke, he would be doomed.
Jing Cangming kept rowing like this. He would take a break when he was tired, or he would activate the water attribute and let the sea water push him forward.
But this is not as labor-saving as rowing.
