Chapter 687 Transparent Colorful Beads
"How long have you been at sea?"
For a ship as big as theirs to go out to sea, there must be plenty of supplies, so how could they end up without fresh water?
"Hmm..." Jiang Yue calculated uncertainly: "It should be four months. I'm not sure. Anyway, it's been so long that I can't remember the time."
"Four months?" Ye Qianning was quite surprised.
"Well, our ship encountered a strong wind and then lost its way. We tried to sail in a directionless direction, and then encountered several storms and fogs. Our ship completely lost its direction and sailed aimlessly. Some people on the ship have fallen ill and more than a dozen people have died." Jiang Yue's voice gradually became smaller, and his eyes moved slightly.
Ye Qianning didn't expect that they would wander on the sea for so long, sailing to an uninhabited sea area, where the weather was gloomy all year round and the sun was rarely seen.
Moreover, the sea is unpredictable and sometimes a huge whirlpool will form. Because the whirlpool is so large, people on the edge cannot feel that the ship is drifting with the whirlpool.
Jiang Yue was silent for a while. After the ship lost its direction, every day was spent in torture. Especially after they found that they were short of supplies, the people on the ship must have been on edge.
"Come with me." Ye Qianning stood up from the rocking chair.
Jiang Yue looked up and saw Ye Qianning walking towards the cabin, so she followed him.
Ye Qianning walked into the cabin. There was a small bucket in the cabin, which was the water that the Taoist priest had collected when he went out to sea. She had never opened it.
"This is fresh water. Ask someone to carry it up later."
Jiang Yue looked at a bucket with a surprised expression. Didn’t she just say that there was no fresh water stored?
"I just don't want to give it to them, little girl. I like you." As if seeing her confusion, Ye Qianning smiled.
Jiang Yue's surprised face turned slightly red: "I'm sixteen, not young anymore, and I don't think you're that old either."
It's embarrassing to be called a little girl by people of the same age.
"I'm not a kid anymore." Ye Qianning raised his hand and threw her an apple.
Jiang Yue reached out to catch it. The apple was bright red. She hadn't eaten fruit in over two months. She didn't hesitate and took a big bite. "Thank you, sister... It's so sweet and delicious."
"By the way, what are you looking for when you go out to sea?"
"Well...it's just..."
"I forgot. You eat first. Don't be in a hurry." Seeing her hesitating, Ye Qianning suddenly realized that he was a little anxious.
Jiang Yue nodded, finished her apple in a few bites, and wiped her mouth. "Half a year ago, a strange pearl appeared on the coast. It was very beautiful, transparent with colorful colors inside. Everyone said it was a mermaid pearl. Rumor has it that mermaids exist in the deep sea. I don't know where the nobles in the Nanyuan Imperial Capital heard the news, so they ordered our Jiang family and the Huo family to go out to sea to investigate."
"Transparent colorful beads?"
"kindness."
Ye Qianning seemed to have thought of something. If her guess was correct, it should be the beads polished by her space crystal. She had used them as marbles for fishing before, but she didn't expect that they would be on the beach from such a distance.
If the crystal can reach the sea, then what about the message in the bottle that she asked Dun Dun to put a few years ago?
"Besides beads, are there any other strange things in the sea, like bottles?"
"You mean the bottle with the strange note in it?"
Ye Qianning was overjoyed: "Yes, you know?"
"Everyone in the four countries knows that Xianhailou is buying the bottle for 100 taels of gold. In the past two years, almost everyone has gone to the sea to look for the bottle."
