Chapter 216 New Sea Route

She irritably opened the collar of her dress to feel better.

After a while, she felt her clothes were sticking to her body and was very uncomfortable, so she began to undress them one by one.

Fu Da, who had been squatting and grilling meat nearby, saw that Chen Shiyi's face was flushed, as if he had a fever.

What is her hand doing?

This is a yard. Why are you taking off your clothes here? It's so hot.

It shouldn't be!

He walked closer to Chen Shiyi and asked in confusion.

"What's wrong with you?"

Her eyes were blurred by the heat, but she felt much better when she grabbed Fu Da's arm with one hand. She immediately put her face on Fu Da's arm and finally felt much more comfortable.

When Fu Da saw Chen Shiyi taking off his clothes and then starting to take off his own clothes, he was so scared that he quickly pushed Chen Shiyi away.

"What are you doing? Don't touch me..."

"FuDa, I'm so hot..."

When Bo Yuan, who was standing nearby, saw this, he immediately dropped the food in his hand and rushed over to support Chen Shiyi who was lying on the ground.

Chen Shiyi felt like she was being cooked by the fire. She was almost as hot as a red shrimp. She looked everywhere for something to cool herself down. She felt something leaning against her, so she climbed up.

In my buzzing head, I could faintly hear Fu Da's roar.

"Boyuan, what are you doing? If Pei knew you touched her, he would cut you into pieces."

"What can we do now that the boss is in this state? We are unfamiliar with the place, so where can we find an antidote for her?"

"Go, pick her up and throw her into the water."

Another voice broke in.

"What's wrong?"

"Aunt, please come and see what happened to the hostess. She seems to have been poisoned."

"Oh my god, she eats everything!"

After a while, Chen Shiyi felt a hint of coolness and moisture pouring into the corners of her mouth. She hurriedly held the water and drank it. Only then did the heat in her body gradually subside and her consciousness finally returned to clarity.

Aunt Huang helped her put her clothes back on and said with a smile.

"The green fruit you ate is a love fruit that is unique to Vasati. It is usually prepared by the elders for families who are about to get married."

Chen Shiyi lowered his head and blushed, not daring to speak. He was sweating all over from the heat just now, and now there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Suddenly, she started crying again.

"Oh, my face is thrown into the sea."

Chen Shiyi swore that he would never eat anything carelessly again.

After this little incident, Chen Shiyi wanted to return to Daye as soon as possible.

Coincidentally, news from people in the county also came down.

They can provide ports for ships to stop and unload, but each time they stop, they have to pay customs duties.

Chen Shiyi's silks fetched a good price here, but they seemed not to be able to accept the tea.

They loaded the collected goods and gold back onto the big ship, loaded the ship with water and food, and began to prepare to leave Vasudhara.

Although Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang are not as good as Master Xu Zhou in the sea, they are also very powerful.

Along the way, they studied the direction of the trade winds, watched the sun during the day, watched the stars at night, followed the ocean currents, hoisted the sails and steered the ship, heading towards Daye, rushing across the boundless ocean.

After traveling northeast for ten days following the trade winds, they found another small country called Mika. In the Suiwu area, they exchanged tea for local ivory and pearls. Then they traveled southeast for ten days and south for eight days, and finally saw Yuanzhou of Daye.

Chen Shiyi looked at the land and his eyes became moist.

When we first set out, the maple leaves were just turning red at the tips, but now it is already past February in Wonju.

For half a year, she missed her hometown very much. The sense of security that she felt when she stepped on the land of her homeland was indescribable.

Bai Ling kept hugging herself and crying, sobbing loudly, sobbing softly, and sometimes wiping her tears silently.

"Sister, you are finally back. Everyone was saying that you were buried in the sea."

"Even Huang Tongwei stopped comforting me later."

"Sister, Master Pei has been writing to me, asking about your whereabouts. I was afraid that if I told him, he would be worried about you, so I wrote back to say that you were fine..."

"Sister, you've lost a lot of weight. Life out there must be hard. Bailing will make you your favorite fish fillet soup..."

Chen Shiyi was held so tightly by her that he couldn't breathe. When he heard her say the three words "fish fillet soup", he began to feel disgusted.

"Bai Ling, where is Yuan Shu?"

Bailing curled her lips and looked over there. Huang Tongwei and her family of three were crying together with their heads in their hands.

Yuan Shu stood in front of Huang Tongwei, a little dazed. He raised his hand and patted Huang Tongwei's back gently.

"Look, Yuan Shu has finally grown up."

Bo Yuan behind him looked at Bai Ling and smiled.

"Why didn't you ask us? Are Fu Da and I not worthy of your attention?"

Bai Ling snorted.

"What's there to ask? Isn't this good?"

Bo Yuan pulled out a white water box from his sleeve. When he opened it, two dark blue gems were revealed. They looked very beautiful.

Bai Ling's eyes lit up.

"Bai Ling, say something nice to me."

Fu Da glanced at him with indifferent eyes, snatched the box from Bo Yuan's hand, and stuffed it directly into Bai Ling's hand.

"What good words are you listening to? You can't say them yourself?"

Chen Shiyi blinked.

"Fu Da, you didn't bring a gift for Bai Ling, did you?"

Fu Da sneered.

"Why should I bring her a gift? Who is she?"

Chen Shiyi was immediately startled.

"You, you will regret it, do you still want to..."

Chen Shiyi thought about it and decided to forget it. After all, outsiders should not interfere in their affairs. If they were to break up, it would be a serious sin.

Chen Shiyi slept soundly and then stayed in the house bored for two days before he could relax from the days on the boat.

Later, Shen Wuyang came to find her.

He looked at Chen Shiyi, who was alive and well, and wondered why she didn't die in the sea?

"Why, are you so disappointed to see that I'm not dead?"

"You are quite capable. You can come back alive like this."

Chen Shiyi was having lunch, and Shen Wuyang filled another bowl for himself as if he was familiar with the place. He picked up the chopsticks as if he was familiar with the place and started eating with relish.

"Are you in a hurry to reincarnate after eating your fill?"

Shen Wuyang asked shamelessly.

"The boat you brought back was almost a meter deep. It must have been loaded with a lot of goodies, right? Let me pick one and send it to my master. Of course, I'll pay for it in silver."

Chen Shiyi asked casually.

"What's good about me?"

Shen Wuyang was stunned for a moment.

“I gave you money.”

"You are using the money to buy your own things. What does it have to do with me? I have no business doing anything."

The fire in Shen Wuyang's heart was ignited by these words.

He gritted his teeth and endured it.

"Boss, we are not strangers to each other. If you need me to do anything, I will do it without hesitation, okay?"

Chen Shiyi looked at him, as if he wanted to lose his temper but couldn't, and smiled secretly in his heart.

"I managed to build this new sea route after escaping death, so it belongs to me only. No one else is allowed to interfere. So, you help me keep an eye on the eight major families, and I will allow you to pick one thing on my ship without charging you any money."
