Soul echo

Chapter 578
"After the notification, the land can already be seen, and Jinmen is ahead."

The news was passed on one after another, and soon all the passengers in the fleet knew the news.

Then, the fleet boiled up.

Not only the passengers are looking forward to the early docking, but the crew members are also tired of life at sea after sailing for a full month and a half.

After that battle, some crew members had the idea of ​​'retirement' in their hearts. Anyway, they have earned enough money these years, even if they retire, there is no problem. The money earned these years is enough to support them for the rest of their lives. live.

But in any case, this journey has not reached the end, they are still members of the fleet, and there is still work to be done.

While the passengers were packing their luggage, the crew also got busy.

Docking with ports has always been troublesome, especially with the huge size of their fleet, it is not an easy task to squeeze into the port.

The East China Sea Fleet will not approach Jinmen, and it is the utmost benevolence for them to help drag the damaged ships here.

The two fleets greeted each other and parted ways in the waters outside Jinmen.

In fact, when they got here, they could already see ships coming and going from time to time.

Jinmen is one of the largest ports in the East, and the fleet departs from here.

Seeing that they were about to board the land of Dongtu, almost all the passengers were extremely excited.

However, due to the upcoming port call, the fleet does not allow passengers to board the deck, so as not to throw passengers into the water when it is moored.

There are ships coming and going in the port. If they are hit by a ship and run over, most people will not be able to survive.

However, the fleet allowed passengers to walk around in the cabin, and the passengers whose windows were sealed squeezed into the passenger rooms with still windows, pushing and shoving each other to look at the scenery outside the ship through the small piece of glass.

Compared with Lilian and Dai Lila, Zhong Ye was not so excited.

In his words, "I've only been away from Dongtu for a year and a half, so naturally I won't feel excited." Only he and Lilian know that he is not from Dongtu at all, and it is impossible for him to "return to Dongtu". Thrilled and excited about this thing.

——His real hometown is the earth, China's Jinling, not here.

The arrival of the fleet naturally attracted a lot of attention, both from the ships and the port.

This fleet is dilapidated, and there are several ships that need to be towed by other ships. It can be seen that they have experienced a big battle.

However, this fleet is so huge, what pirates dare to attack them?
If not pirates, what fought them?
Compared with the ships that come and go, the port is very familiar with this fleet that travels between the East and the West almost every year, and before that, the fleet has also communicated with them, and they know that the fleet is about to return.

The port directs other ships to make way for the convoy.

Fortunately, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, and the command was well controlled, and the ships in the port did not collide.

The fleet slowly sailed into the port, and the passengers on board crowded around several windows, looking at the huge port and the huge number of ships, they couldn't help but fell into shock.

The port was full of people, many goods were temporarily piled aside, and workers used pulleys, trailers and steam engines to move things.

Potbellied merchants stood beside their boats to discuss wages with the foremen, while port officials kept blowing whistles and waving flags, directing the ships to dock and sail out.

Even in this sunny day, soldiers in armor still stood solemnly in every corner of the port. Once there was any dispute or fight in the port, they would rush to stop it and separate the two sides.

Tracks are laid on various piers in the port. Through rail cars, merchants can transport heavy goods away faster.

Even if the passengers have not entered the port, they can already feel the noisy and chaotic environment of the port.

More than one person swallowed secretly, feeling the gap between West Land and East Land.

Even in the big ports of the Gaul Kingdom, it is difficult to see such a magnificent scene, and Jinmen is not the largest port in the East, Licheng is.

It took almost half an hour for the fleet to enter the port one by one before they all stopped at the port.

After all the ships stopped at the port, the crew notified the passengers and asked them to prepare to disembark.

The passengers returned to their rooms, carried their luggage, took a last look at the room where they had lived for more than a month, and then crowded into the corridor, queuing to leave the cabin.

When they boarded the deck, they saw that the board ladder had been lowered, and the sailors all changed into clean clothes and stood on the deck.

Zhang Qian and the other crew members who were in charge of communicating with the passengers got off the ship ahead of time and waited under the ladder, waiting for the passengers to disembark.

The fleet occupied the entire pier, and the people at the other pier couldn't help turning their gazes over. When they saw the passengers who got off the ship, both in clothes and faces, they were completely different from themselves, and there was an uproar in the port.

Businessmen, port clerks, and workers who often traveled to and from Jinmen talked about this fleet with outsiders, so people knew that these passengers came from the West Land, and they were from the West Land.

Dongtu, whom he had been thinking about day and night and day and night, was right in front of him, but the passengers felt short of breath and their legs and feet were weak.

Fortunately, many sailors are not experiencing this for the first time, and they know what to do.

——they held up the arms of the passengers, guided them off the ship themselves, and helped them up when they almost fell down.

The vast majority of people who have lived on board for a long time will have similar things happen when they set foot on land, and their bodies are already used to the bumps on the sea.

Under the guidance of the sailors, the passengers got off the ship successfully.

Although the fleet is equipped with seawater purifiers, passengers can take a bath every few days, but their clothes often take more than ten days to be washed, and they may not be able to dry after washing, after all, the weather at sea is unpredictable. No one knows if there will be a sudden cloud and rain on a sunny day, which will wet their clothes that have almost been dried.

Coupled with the humidity in the boat, sometimes the clothes are not dry yet, and they have to wear them on their bodies.

This caused the passengers to not smell very good, including Lilian and Delilah.

"Teacher, why do you seem to have no smell?"

After getting off the boat, Lilian couldn't help but frowned when she smelled the smell of other people, but when she let go of her nose, she didn't smell any peculiar smell from Zhong Ye.

"You can do this kind of thing." Zhong Ye glanced at her and shook his head slightly, "As long as you use the 'Qi' in your body, not only the smell on your body, but also the smell on your clothes can be removed."

"Ah?" Lilian's eyes widened, "Then why didn't you teach me, teacher?"

Zhong Ye looked at her and sighed: "You need to understand this by yourself, you can't rely on me for everything."

But if you don't tell me, how would I know...

Lilian pursed her mouth a little aggrieved, and she could smell the scent of her body as soon as she lowered her head, which made her feel very helpless.

"Dai Lila, let's go."

Zhong Ye yelled, and the female elf who was looking around twitched her sharp ears, turned around and ran back.

After greeting Zhang Qian and the others, Zhong Ye took Lilian and the others to leave early.

Many passengers in the fleet have never learned the Eastern dialect. Next, Zhang Qian and the others will organize these passengers to 'learn' the Eastern dialect.

In fact, through spells, the passengers can directly learn the language and characters of Dongtu.

Passengers don't need to pay again, because the cost of using this spell is already included in the boat fare. If passengers leave early, that part of the money will be paid for nothing, so generally no passengers will leave early.

Zhong Ye and the others are different. Both Lilian and Dai Lila understand the Eastern Tu language and can freely communicate and communicate with the Eastern Tu people.

Leaving the pier where the fleet docked, Zhong Ye and the others walked towards the bustling street under the eyes of everyone.

At this moment, several people suddenly appeared from the side, making noise in Zhong Ye's ears.

"This guest, do you need to stay at the hotel?"

"My lord, do you need to exchange our money? Come to the Li Family Bank, we are innocent, if you don't believe me, you can just ask, no matter who it is, our Li Family Bank will say 'yes'!"

"My lord and miss, do you need a car? We can take you around the whole Tianjin with three taels of silver!"

Both Lilian and Dai Lila were taken aback by Xiaoxiao, Zhong Ye glanced at them, and seeing Zhong Ye's eyes, those people closed their mouths, stood where they were, and watched Zhong Ye and the others leave.

The figures of Zhong Ye and the others were also watched by those people, and disappeared into the crowd.
