So What If You've Been Reborn?

The owner of this ship is indeed no small matter.

The boatmen are all young men with strong skills, and they seem to have mastered some cultivation methods. Although they are exposed to the wind and sun at sea, their skin is not dark and dry, which is very different from ordinary fishermen and boatmen.

Hearing the slight footsteps above his head, Chen He's eyes showed deep thought.

They were in the worst hold, and even if the ship had been built of good wood, it would have been hot and stuffy after a long voyage.

This cabin was very dark, with a dozen people crammed in, it seemed narrow and difficult to move around. At first, there was nothing in it, and then only two barrels thrown by two boatmen were added.

Every morning and evening, hard bread and copper pots of fresh water were brought.

The bread was so hard that it took a lot of effort to break it apart. It was fried in oil and made of flour mixed with seaweed foam. It was easy to preserve and nutritious, but the taste was choking.

Because the oil was not good, the bread also had a strange smell.

Since the owner of this boat is a monk, the maids who are close to him are also in the foundation building period. Although the boatman and servants are strong and healthy, they still want to eat. They dare not cook on the boat and make a fuss. Purchased.

Fishermen on the seaside are good at making this kind of bread, and they must be fried in oil to prevent it from going bad.

Poor people rarely see oil stars in their daily meals. Even for the most expensive noodle cakes, fishermen have to make full use of the oil used for pancakes. I don’t know how many times they have used them. The taste is naturally weird.

Chen Ho looked aside coldly, and found that half of the people in the cabin were eating with gusto, while the others were furious.

It is simply the best way to distinguish among these survivors who are hard labor boatmen and who are not.

He listened to a few words casually, and roughly understood that the sinking boat was sent by the An family of the Qingzhou family to buy red coral and sea pearls on the islands in the East China Sea. The ones who scolded them before were not some powerful children, but just the An family's steward.

The servants of these aristocratic families are more particular about their affairs than the young masters of ordinary rich families. Where have they ever eaten such bad food and slept in such a dark cabin?

At last, the Anjia gang was not too stupid, they only cursed behind their backs, and they didn't throw water or cakes to play hooligans.

It's all because this boat is exquisite and expensive, and people who claim to be well-informed have never seen it, lest the other party is some big shot.

Although the An family in Qingzhou was a wealthy family, if a servant offended any dignitary, he would be killed without hesitation, and a generous gift would be prepared.

Chen Ho waited impatiently for a whole day, but he didn't hear the boat stop, let alone other boats approaching, asking if there was any voice to save the Master in the sea.

Chen He spent seven or eight days with those guys in the sea, and he knew how difficult they were.

If it weren't for this storm, it would be impossible for him to escape, so he could only fight recklessly.

——The fish floating in the sea area that had been burned by the fire in the stone helped them lock the sea area at first, and the three Jindan stage monks that Chen He killed before he escaped pointed out the direction in which he might escape.

Chen Ho didn't believe that these people would give up like this, and they would definitely come after them.

One day and one night was enough for them to encounter this ship, how could there be no movement?

Chen He frowned slightly, a little startled. He knew that the monks who were chasing him were the biggest possibility. When he saw this big ship with the prow of a green luan from afar, he didn't even dare to ask, and just took a detour to avoid it.

What kind of status would a person who even a cultivator in the stage of transforming gods want to retreat from?

Chen He was in a mood.

It was useless to regret now that he was on board, and it was the best he could think of then.

The current strategy is to pretend to be a shipwrecked person, hide and wait for the changes.

Fortunately, the cabin was extremely dark. When they were rescued on board, everyone was still in shock. They were lying on the wooden planks and drifting in the middle of the night, so exhausted that they couldn't care less about watching others.

The steward of An's family couldn't recognize all the hard labor slaves who sailed for them.

The boatman was not familiar with these "big men" with upturned eyes, and he had no chance to nod and bow on weekdays, and he couldn't even see them face to face.

The boat capsized, and among the hundreds of people, only these ten or so were lucky enough to be washed together by the waves while holding the planks. , were wrinkled badly, and left behind large flakes of salt particles.

After the hardbread and drinking water were thrown in, the hatch was slammed shut.

In the dark place, everyone used to rob, and the steward of An's family kept calling and scolding the untouchables, but the boatmen ignored them.Anyway, it's so dark that you can't see your face at all, and there are people who have been punched and smashed.

The guy who is usually arrogant and arrogant has suffered a few times, and feels that his life is important, so he dare not take it again. Besides, the bread is so bad that he can't eat it even if he grabs it. Two or three people can't finish it, so he has to starve .

The rough guys fell asleep after eating and drinking, snoring loudly, making the others unable to sleep peacefully.

In such chaos, Chen He, who didn't eat, had never been discovered.

The boat sailed on the sea for several days, the wind and waves were not small, at first Chen He still felt the bumps, but he couldn't use his real energy to suppress the discomfort, so he had to hold on, but after three or five days, he got used to it.

Being in a dangerous situation, unable to practice or meditate, Chen He could only close his eyes and study the talismans silently in his heart over and over again.

Although the cabin was extremely hot and humid, and the smell became more and more unpleasant, but it didn't matter after being in the abalone for a long time.What's more, he was originally a monk, and he also learned the Beixuan sect's cultivation method, which can be comprehended quietly no matter where he is. This prisoner-like predicament is just a troublesome journey for Chen He, and he should hone his state of mind. up.

Two days later, the wind and waves calmed down significantly.

Chen He listened attentively, and felt some human voices, as well as the sound of oars and sails being pulled.

The owner of this boat was very disciplined, and Chen He didn't hear anyone talking loudly or moving around on the boat for several days.Chen He's eyes and ears were sharp, and after careful consideration, he couldn't help showing a cautious look: The ship is about to dock!

These voices may be monks with high status speaking.

They must have retreated and cultivated in the cabin of the ship to pass the boring time since the sailing of the ship. Now they come out to walk around and talk, it must be that the ship is about to reach its destination.

When Chen Ho knew that he was on the East China Sea, he was really relieved.

The climate is not like the North Sea, so there are only the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and the South China Sea has heard Shi Feng mentioned that there are many clam monsters and mirages. If you get lost in it, you can never leave, and the East China Sea is closer to Yuzhou.

Being in the dark cabin these days, Chen He had no idea of ​​the ship's subsequent course.

The best result, they have docked at a port in Qingzhou, but the worst result is that this is a small island hanging overseas.

Based on the calculation of the voyage, Chen He felt that it was not the small island where he was caught in a trap and was almost forcibly taken to the island, so he calmed down and waited for the ship to dock.

It didn't take long for the anchor to be lowered.

After a long while of rustling sounds, it seemed that many people walked across the deck and went ashore.

Chen Ho turned his gaze to the cabin door, and it was not until a long time later when everyone began to complain about why the water didn't come today, that the glare of light shone in.

Someone stood at the door and said in a rough voice: "It's landed, let's go!"

The manager of An's family has been hungry for several days, and only eats a few mouthfuls of cakes when he really can't, and he has long been exhausted.

I only listened to those boatmen who could eat and sleep well, and asked cautiously: "Brother, thank you for saving your life, but where is this place?"

The boatman outside did not answer, and drove them out one by one like chickens, and took water to rinse the cabin desperately.

Everyone was groggy, and it took a long time to adapt to the light outside. Fortunately, it was night. Even so, their eyes were stimulated to tears, which was very uncomfortable.

Chen Ho could only cover his eyes and pretend.

A sharp female voice shouted: "Why don't you leave? Hurry up!"

A few tall and sturdy boatmen threw the wobbly people off the boat without saying a word.

Amidst the screams, a group of people fell into the water one after another.

They howled miserably, because the big ship had a deep draft, even if it docked, it would stop in the sea, and then row to the shore via a small boat.Even if the water is only half the height of a person, there are many reefs on the shore, and the bow is high, although it is unlikely to fall to death, it will break bones or worse, die.

Unexpectedly, they opened their mouths wide and only drank a few mouthfuls of bitter sea water.

The boatman was so embarrassingly clever that he didn't suffer from bloodshed.

Everyone sat in the water with their whole body wet, the sea water was just up to their necks or chests, they scratched a few times in a state of embarrassment, and barely stood up and walked towards the shore.

Chen Ho was a little nervous, he could pretend everything perfectly, but he didn't have that rancid smell all over his body.

Standing among the crowd, I can still be fooled. Before getting out of the cabin, I stumbled and ran out, but "being thrown into the water", I couldn't fly out by myself. I had to be thrown honestly once. No flaws were revealed.

When Chen Ho turned his head, he suddenly saw the maid in green robes standing at the bow of the boat. The eyes of the two of them happened to meet, and each of them was startled.

——Looking at each other, it means that both of them are looking at each other.

Chen He secretly thought that something was wrong, and swam to the shore with his head down. The wet and embarrassed appearance of this group of people provoked ridicule from the people stationed on the shore.

The steward of An's family was so angry that he almost fainted, and the others were also downcast, secretly hating the woman dressed as a maid.

Only Chen He muttered in a low voice: "It takes so much effort to save someone at sea, she is kind, I'm afraid her master is not a good person."

——It took so long to let them go out. Naturally, we waited until nightfall, so that they would not see the light for a long time, and their eyes could not bear it. The reason for throwing them into the sea was because they smelled bad. If they went ashore like this, they would definitely be disgusted. It is better to throw them into the sea. Let's wash with bubbles.

Since the other party did not catch up to expose him, Chen He was also happy to leave quickly.

The shore is full of white sand, and in the distance there are trees that Chen He has never seen before, and there are large brown fruits (coconuts) on them.

Chen He secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that this is not Qingzhou.

"Red Swallow Island?"

When Chen He heard it from a distance, the steward of An's family was overjoyed and said, "This is a great coincidence, aren't we going to this island to buy Haizhen?"

"...in charge, but our silver ticket gold leaf..."

Either it was washed away by the sea, or it turned into a paste!

The face of An's steward immediately pulled down, as ugly as he wanted.

Chen He thought hard, but he didn't know where Hongyan Island was.

But since there is a sea market here, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a way to get on a boat back to Qingzhou.

——After half a quarter of an hour, Chen He realized that his thinking was too simple.

There are mortals and more monks who come and go on this island.

There is no shortage of orthodox magic cultivators, and they are definitely not the kind of casual cultivators who are poor and dawdle. There are many people who are equipped with magic weapons.

Reminiscing about the boat that we sailed before, Chen He came up with a thought: Is there a gathering of monks from the East China Sea here?
