Wang Xiaohai and his group headed towards the seaside. Now with the addition of two grassland tribes, there were a lot more people, but no one was making noise on the road. Apart from the neighing of horses, there was only the sound of the wind blowing through the grass.
Along the way, they encountered two tribes that came to cause trouble. Wang Xiaohai asked Scar Chief to subdue them. Scar Chief felt very happy about doing this. He thought that the more people participated in being captured and contributing treasures, the better. Others were happy when they shared happiness with others, but Scar Chief shared pain with others, and then he was happy!
Watching the other leaders tying their treasures to the sides of their horses with sad faces, Scar felt that he was not so painful anymore.
Wang Xiaohai and his group arrived about half a day later than the scheduled time. It was probably because they encountered several robberies on the way that delayed them. After all, counting treasures and personnel, as well as fighting along the way, was a huge waste of time.
"I see the sea!" the programmer shouted.
The bald leader led dozens of his men to a dense forest by the sea, stopped in front of a pile of rocks disguised as a hill, climbed up, and began to move the rocks down one by one - a 30-meter-long two-masted sailboat gradually appeared in front of everyone.
"You all go and help too, don't damage the boat!" Wang Xiaohai ordered Scar Leader and his men.
The boat was made of ironwood, which was extremely hard for ordinary people, but as hard as tofu for warriors. Wang Xiaohai instructed several tribal leaders that if the boat was damaged, they would have to pay with their lives to repair it.
The crowd used several vines as long ropes to tie up the hull of the brig. Dozens of people dragged it in front like boat trackers, and more people pushed it with their hands from the back. Several leaders supervised on the side.
"One, two, three—harder!" everyone shouted at the same time, leaning forward.
"Creaky--" the ship began to move slowly, dust and mud fell down, and the spiders, centipedes and rats on the ship hurriedly crawled into the cracks and holes.
"Try harder, hurry up!" Scar whipped the bald leader's men. The bald leader only had one left hand, but he was not afraid of Scar's leader. He also picked up a shorter vine and whipped Scar's men.
Seeing this, the people pushing and pulling the boat increased their strength, their veins bulging, and they pulled the vines straight, and the brigantine began to move at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At first, it took a lot of strength to pull the sailboat from a stationary state to a moving state. Once it was moving, it became much easier and everyone saved a lot of energy.
The schooner was finally pulled to the beach and stopped ten meters from the sea. The four leaders ordered their men to move all the jewelry, jade, meat and fresh water onto the schooner, which took less than half an hour.
Wang Xiaohai, the programmer, and Goatee climbed onto the deck from the rope ladder hanging from the side of the ship, stood at the bow, and looked down.
"I am a peace messenger. To prevent you from fighting, you four leaders should take your people and leave in four directions until I can't see you anymore." Wang Xiaohai said loudly to the people below.
The four leaders below thought to themselves, "If you are a peace envoy, then there are no bad people in the world. How can there be a peace envoy who robs and pillages along the way?" However, although they thought so in their hearts, they did not dare to say it out loud. They had no choice but to do as Wang Xiaohai said and split into four teams to leave.
"Once the tide rises high enough for the boat to start moving, we can set sail." Wang Xiaohai said, looking down. The water was rising very quickly and had already risen to one meter below the boat. It would probably take at most an hour to set sail.
“Why don’t they just push the boat out to sea for us?” the programmer asked. “That way we don’t have to wait.”
"That's what I asked for. If they were pushed into the sea, I wouldn't be able to see them leave peacefully. Alas, I'm such a good person." Wang Xiaohai sighed.
The two rolled their eyes at Wang Xiaohai, thinking that this guy was thicker-skinned than a city wall, and he could actually say these self-praising lies without changing his expression.
An hour later the brig set sail and headed out to sea.
"Will there be huge waves in this sea?" the programmer asked a little worriedly.
"I don't know either. This is my first time out to sea," Wang Xiaohai said. "Besides, I'm not familiar with the sea on this planet. But no matter how dangerous it is, it's only for you two. I won't be in danger. Also, the people of the grassland tribe have used this sailboat to travel to the other side of the sea. It should be fine. Don't worry too much."
It is said that Wang Xiaohai can catch the two people and fly them across the sea, but the food and jewelry will probably be gone. When they reach the other side, they still have to start from scratch. If they are lucky, they can find a job, but if they are unlucky, they will be beaten to death. With the money on the ship, they will have initial capital, and they can hire thugs and bodyguards, do business, and live a better life. The clothes and information they contributed made a lot of money!
"I'm thinking back to the point you made the other day." The man with the goatee walked over to Wang Xiaohai and said, "You said we couldn't run a school or teach students. The most important thing is that we don't have a good reputation. So we plan to spend a few years building up our reputation first. Then, when we run a school, we'll have students."
"Really? You're very smart." Wang Xiaohai replied, "I'll leave this ship and the jewels on it to you as the initial capital for your business. I suggest that after you arrive in the other country, you start with maritime trade." He was looking forward to their future achievements, but he probably wouldn't see the day when they succeeded. They all came from another world, but everyone's journey was different. In more than twenty days, he would try to awaken to become a Martial Saint, and then leave this planet.
The sea breeze was strong, but it could not cool the hot hearts of the three people on the boat, nor could it extinguish their hope.
Although this voyage took ten days, fortunately it was safe. Although there were several storms, Wang Xiaohai was able to overcome the dangers with the Qi Control Technique. His understanding of the Qi Control Technique has reached a higher level - not only can it be condensed into a sword, but it can also be dispersed into a huge palm to grab large objects.
Xiao Hai did not forget about the Art of Splitting, and the shadow of the little golden man in his mind became much clearer.
Several passenger ships passed by the three-man schooner, and many people on the ships were drinking and chatting, looking very happy and relaxed.
"We can see the largest dock in Cotton Country ahead," said Wang Xiaohai.
The programmer went up and retracted the sail halfway. After these days, he also learned how to control the sailboat.
"I'm leaving, bye!" Wang Xiaohai actually hates saying goodbye to people the most, so he usually leaves quietly.
When the old man with goatee and the programmer came to their senses, Wang Xiaohai had disappeared.
"Let's sail the boat downstream and not stop at the pier in the imperial capital of Cotton Country," said the old man with a goat beard.
"Ah, why not stop here?" the programmer was puzzled.
"There are many treasures on the ship. If we dock at a crowded dock, we'll be easy targets for thieves," the old man said. "Let's find a hidden place in a small town and dock there. Then we can slowly sell the jewelry for money and develop quietly."
As people live longer, their wisdom grows. It must be said that the decision of the old man with a goatee was correct and rational.
Wang Xiaohai was playing with two jade pendants in his hands. He was walking on Zhengbei Street in the capital of Cotton Country, surrounded by passers-by and vendors pushing food carts.
