Chapter 284 Rescue at sea
Chapter 284 Rescue at sea
The blue sky and the sea are connected into a line.
A flock of seagulls were circling above the sea, flapping their wings.
Yun Fuling stood on the deck, and the sea breeze blowing towards her had a light salty and humid feeling.
Tianquan stood beside her, looking at the vast sea in the distance.
Today is already the third day at sea.
During these three days they searched along the route from Xiaoyue Bay to Japan, but found nothing.
Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan were following the Japanese and disappeared in Xiaoyue Bay.
Yun Fuling had already asked Tian Quan to take people to secretly search Xiaoyue Bay thoroughly, but no trace of Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan was found.
In this case, the most likely possibility is that Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan were on the Japanese ship and went out to sea.
Although the sea is vast, the Japanese man has business dealings with Wen Zhao.
There are fixed routes when traveling on the sea.
The division of power is not only on land, but also on sea.
If we deviate from the route, we might end up entering someone else's territory or even encounter pirates.
Therefore, Yun Fuling only needs to search along the route from Xiaoyue Bay to Japan. As long as she finds the Japanese man, she can follow the clues to find the whereabouts of Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan.
Yun Fuling looked out at the sea and prayed to God to let her find Xiao Jingyi as soon as possible!
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded on the boat: "Hey, what is that?"
Several guards on patrol stood at the side of the ship and looked around.
After a moment, one of them exclaimed, "It looks like a person!"
Yun Fuling heard the noise and looked over, she saw a piece of driftwood floating on the sea with a person lying on it.
Yun Fuling immediately ordered Tian Quan: "Go and save them!"
Tian Quan responded with a yes, and together with other guards, he rescued the man floating in the sea onto the boat.
After rescuing the man, everyone found out that he was a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old.
The boy had dark skin and a thin body, and he looked a little dazed, as if he was half-conscious.
Yun Fuling stepped forward and took his pulse, then said to Tian Quan, "He hasn't eaten for a long time. Go get him some water."
They drifted on the sea for three days, and it was fate that they met this young man.
Saving his life can be considered a good deed.
Yun Fuling gave an order and someone immediately went to fetch water and food.
When the young man saw the food, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth like a hungry wolf.
If you eat too fast, you will inevitably choke.
Tian Quan immediately sent a glass of water over and comforted him, "Don't worry, eat slowly!"
The boy didn't say anything. He just took the water, drank a few sips, then grabbed the steamed bun and continued eating.
Zhao Xuesi, who was resting in the cabin, heard that a person was rescued from the sea and immediately ran to the deck.
After taking the medicine given by Yun Fuling, although Zhao Xuesi's injuries have not been completely healed, he can move around without any hindrance.
When he learned that Yun Fuling was going out to sea to look for Xiao Jingyi, he insisted on going with her.
Yun Fuling had no choice but to take him out to sea.
Now, apart from the people Yun Fuling brought from the capital and some good men selected by Tianquan from the people left behind by Xiao Jingyi, the rest are Wen Zhiheng's men.
The people brought by Yun Fuling, as well as Tian Quan and other people left behind by Xiao Jingyi, can all be completely trusted.
Although Yun Fuling was on guard against the people Wen Zhiheng gave her and did not dare to trust them completely, Yun Fuling's safety was related to Wen Zhiheng's life and death, so these people would not dare to use any tricks.
After spending the past few days together, it was found that the people sent by Wen Zhiheng were very obedient and followed Yun Fuling's orders.
Yun Fuling only wanted them to be obedient and give her useful suggestions when necessary so that the sea voyage could be safe and smooth.
As soon as Zhao Xuesi rushed onto the deck, he shouted to Yun Fuling: "I heard that someone was rescued from the sea..."
Yun Fuling nodded at him and gestured to the side.
Zhao Xuesi followed his gaze and saw a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old sitting there, stuffing two steamed buns into his mouth.
The young man was surrounded by guards.
He silently separated himself from Yun Fuling, in a defensive and protective posture.
The one being on guard against is this young man, and the one being protected is Yun Fuling.
Although this young man looks pitiful, he is a person of unknown origin and we must be on guard against him.
As soon as Zhao Xuesi saw the young man, the light in his eyes dimmed.
He murmured softly: "I thought..."
He didn't say the rest of the words, but Yun Fuling understood what he meant.
They all thought that Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan were most likely to be at sea.
Maybe they are drifting somewhere in the sea right now, waiting for someone to rescue them.
Isn’t the purpose of Yun Fuling’s voyage this time to search for the whereabouts of Xiao Jingyi and Zuo Yan on the sea?
Yun Fuling saw Zhao Xuesi was disappointed, and immediately patted his arm and said, "I believe they must still be alive, we can definitely find them!"
Zhao Xuesi raised his eyes to look at Yun Fuling, and seeing the determined light in her eyes, he immediately regained his confidence.
He nodded heavily, "Yes, we will find them!"
After the young man ate something, he seemed to come back to life.
Yun Fuling walked over, half squatted down, released her kindness, and asked in a gentle tone: "What's your name?"
The young man did not answer. Instead, he looked up at Yun Fuling and asked, "Are you from Daqi?"
Yun Fuling was startled, thinking of the many merchants from various countries traveling to and from this sea area.
But when Tianquan comforted the young man before, he spoke the language of Daqi, so the young man thought they were from Daqi.
Yun Fuling thought about it and didn't lie about it. She nodded and said, "Yes, we are from Daqi and we are doing business at sea."
"How did you end up floating in the ocean? Where are your family members?"
The young man seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but his eyes turned red.
"I have no family anymore."
"My name is Fang Yu, and I am also a citizen of Daqi."
"I...I was captured by pirates and forced to do hard labor."
"I couldn't stand it, and I managed to steal a boat and escape."
"I didn't expect to encounter a whirlpool, which overturned the boat and shredded it."
"I managed to survive by grabbing onto a piece of driftwood."
"But if you hadn't saved me, I wouldn't have survived long at sea!"
Having said that, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yun Fuling.
Yun Fuling quickly raised her hand to stop him.
Seeing that Yun Fuling seemed to be the leader of this group of people, he said earnestly, "Sir, can you keep me on the boat? I can do a lot of work, and I don't eat much."
Yun Fuling thought that they were on the sea, and if she drove the young man off the boat, wouldn't he die in the sea?
Now that we have rescued the person, we should be a good person to the end.
Just as she was about to nod, Zhao Xuesi tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Do you really want to keep such a person of unknown origin on the ship?"
