The shipowner was a little flustered, but he still forced his composure, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

The ice-carrier was a large one-masted ship, with a large sail spread out, which looked larger than a ship, and logs were nailed to the mast at equal distances of one foot to make it easier for sailors to climb.

There is an inverted triangular bracket at the top of the mast, where sailors who look at the wind stand and watch the direction of the wind to direct others to turn the sail to maintain the course, and at the same time, they can also observe the situation on the sea.

At this time, the wind is very steady, the sails are bulging, and the ship is riding the wind on the sea, which is very smooth.

The ship's owner yelled under the mast to the man watching the wind above, "What's the situation? ”

The man who looked at the wind also roared back, "It seems that there is a boat following our ass, about ...... The distance of two or three miles, at this moment, seems to be getting closer. ”

The shipowner's heart tightened, knowing that the ship chasing them behind should not be good.

In his experience, running a boat at night at sea, the first thing is safety first, the light on the sea is already dark, and then when the clouds cover the moon, the sea is dark, and it is easy to deviate from the channel and sink into the reef.

Today was originally a bright moon and sparse stars, and they were trading for a dry sea dragon, so the owner of the ship instructed the men to enlarge their courage to run the boat, and run with the sails full, and there was no problem with normal.

But then suddenly a black cloud obscured the light, and only then did I collect half a sail and run slowly on the sea, and it would not be a big problem.

It's normal to run into other cargo ships on the route, but it's a bit weird if someone keeps chasing your ship in the middle of the night.

The owner of the ship gave the head of the boat a look, and the head of the boat immediately raised its head and roared, "You come down, I'll go up and see it myself!" ”

Waiting for the man to climb down from the mast, the head of the ship pulled up his trousers, stepped on the raised block and began to climb up the mast, not to mention his forty years, but his body was very flexible, and in a blink of an eye, he had climbed to the top of the mast.

There were no binoculars these days, and sailors who looked at the wind relied on a pair of good eyes. The head of the boat has been running with his ancestors since he was a child, and the first thing he did was to watch the wind, and his eyes have always been well protected.

He looked far away, and sure enough, about two miles away in the sea, he could see the vague shadow of a large ship, and this ship seemed to be larger than their ice carrier.

Whether the ship is big or not, the main thing is to look at the sails, in a sense, how big the sails, how big the boat is.

The head of the ship roughly estimated the size of the sail of the big ship behind it, and guessed what kind of ship it was—it turned out to be a lucky ship of the Jinzhou sailors.

What made him even more frightened was that the Daifuku ship behind did not meet them by chance, but was really chasing them, and saw a large sail becoming clearer and clearer in the dark, representing that the distance between the two ships was getting closer and closer, and the Daifuku ship caught up.

He hurriedly slid and jumped off the mast, and finally deftly bounced to the deck by the resistance of the sails.

"Owner, it's not good, if I'm not mistaken, behind is the fortune boat of the Jinzhou Sailor, and it is obviously speeding up to chase us, and the distance is getting closer and closer."

"Really?"

The shipowner pondered. Why did the fortune boat of the Jinzhou sailor chase them? It's definitely not a coincidence.

He runs boats and sells ice all year round, and he doesn't know the generals of the Jinzhou Sailors, and he knows that these people are nominally called Sailors, but in fact, they don't do anything that the real Sailors should do.

Anyone like him who makes a living by running boats knows that the sailors are robbers in the skin of the government!

But for anyone who makes a living by running boats, the sailors will definitely receive benefits, and they take the initiative to ask for it, and they never hide it, making it clear that if you want to make a living by running boats, you have to give them benefits on time.

Otherwise, in the name of the sailor, they will naturally come to you in various ways to get into trouble.

Therefore, the shipowner also knew some of the generals of the sailor, and every time he sold ice, he always had to pay some tea money to these people, in order to ask for peace and quiet.

But in his impression, the Jinzhou Sailor is called the Sailor, and it is just a blind swaying in the Liao River, and there is only one Dafu ship that can really run on the sea, and it has been lying in the Sailor's big port to make a show, and he has not shown up for many years.

Today, I suddenly encountered this Daifuku ship, which was really unprecedented, and it opened the eyes of the shipowner.

But when you think about it, the shipowner thinks that everything is too weird, and the Daifuku ship suddenly left the port and chased after them all the way, which is a bit unreasonable.

There are more people who have done the business of sea dragons, and now there are more of them, they are all local snakes in various ports in Liaodong, as long as they pay some benefits to the sailor, the sailor will never ask, let alone there will be such a thing as intercepting the ship and inspecting it.

If it was really unlucky, the shipowner knew that he would definitely not be able to escape, he was an ice carrier, and suddenly ran to the sea to run goods, and a fool could understand that he was doing the business of sea dragons.

He didn't say hello to the sailor and gave him benefits, he crossed the sea dragon in private, and he was caught by the sailor, he must have no good fruit to eat.

With the thing that made him frustrated, he met a big guy on the first trip, and he originally wanted to eat black, but he must not let the gang of robbers of the sailor eat him black.

Looking at the panicked looks on the faces of his men, the shipowner suddenly became bold, "Don't panic, the night is so dark, they can't see who we are!" ”

This sentence reminded his men that there are many boats running and selling ice at the mouth of the Liaohe River, and they are roughly similar in appearance.

The ship's bow also reacted, and said according to the owner's words, "Yes, since we have followed the owner to do the sea dragon business, we must think that there will be such a day."

The lucky boat behind it, don't look bigger than our ship, but if it is really full of sails, they may not be able to catch up with us! ”

Then he and the owner of the ship exchanged glances, and realized that they were thinking the same thing, and in a hurry he shouted to the sailors to get busy.

In order to avoid the pursuit of the lucky ship, the bow of the ship also constantly moved the angle of the sail, so that the route of the ice carrier went out of the "S" shape, the purpose was to let the lucky ship have to follow their course to constantly change direction, and reduce their speed.

The ice-carrier accelerated at first glance, and the route was not in a straight line, so Yang Huairen quickly reacted, and he didn't know what was going on outside, so he ordered Lu Jinyi to go out of the cabin to take a look.

As soon as Lu Jinyi stepped out of the hatch, he bumped into the shipowner head-on, and when he saw the busy appearance of the sailors, he guessed something.

The shipowner pushed Lu Jinyi back to the cabin as if nothing had happened, "It's okay, you can rest assured that the white shopkeeper is there." ”
