"What should we do now? Master!" Lao Cui asked.
Tang Ping also has a headache. You said that this person who has no place to live in is still floating on the sea.
Even the specific location was estimated by himself. He didn't know whether he was in Europe or Africa now.
"Let's drive further." Tang Ping thought for a moment and said, "If we can enter the Mediterranean, then drive east to Damascus."
After such a big circle, if they can still sail for two or three days, if they can return to Damascus, the worst case scenario is to park the ship outside Damascus, and they can take the ship back to Datang from the Red Sea.
After glaring at Li Siwen, Li Siwen also knew that he had made a big mistake and shrank his head: "I'm going to sail the boat right now, or... why don't you come and watch with me?"
He also knew that his sense of direction was about the same as that of his eldest brother Li Zhen.
Tang Ping didn't intend to embarrass him at this time, so he had no choice but to let him go.
Who knew that Li Siwen himself would find Tang Ping early the next morning.
"What's wrong?" Tang Ping hadn't woken up yet, so he naturally sounded more serious when he was woken up by Li Siwen.
Li Siwen stepped back, but still mustered up the courage to say: "Well... the boat is broken!"
"The ship is broken!" Tang Ping woke up now. If the ship was broken, it would be difficult to return to Damascus.
This boat completely imitates the modern shape and has no sails. If it really breaks down and cannot move forward, it will have no choice but to stay at sea.
"I...I don't know, but this time it really has nothing to do with me!" Li Siwen quickly cleared the air.
Tang Ping and he went to take a look and sighed. There was probably something wrong with the ship's diesel engine.
It won't start no matter what.
This time it is completely bad.
There was no one to repair the ship in this place. Tang Ping looked at the coastline not far away and could only say: "Find a way to find a nearby ship to send us ashore first."
The system didn't know when it would be restored. It might be restored tomorrow or in a few days, so that he could teleport directly back to Chang'an.
At this time, we can only go ashore and wait slowly.
However, it seems that shipping or marine fisheries are not developed in this area, and after waiting for a long time, no other passing ships were found.
"Ping Guo Gong, we...we won't be able to go back, right?" Li Siwen asked worriedly.
"Isn't this just right?" Tang Ping looked at him angrily: "Don't you like taking risks? This place happens to be an undeveloped area, so you can take risks as much as you like!!"
This guy secretly saw that Tang Ping was sending Yao Yuanzhi to Bozhou Road by boat, so he stole Li Ji's seal and forged an order, thinking about starting his own sea adventure, but Tang Ping was tricked.
At this time, he knew he was scared. When he heard Tang Ping say this, he was stunned.
"Okay, we still have some food on the boat. We can find ways to find food when we get ashore. As long as you don't starve to death, we can always take you back to Chang'an." Looking at Li Siwen's look, Tang Ping no longer scared him. .
At this time, Xue Rengui shouted: "A ship is coming."
Tang Ping picked up the telescope and saw a sailboat coming towards him from a distance.
At this time, no one knew about SOS and other designations. Tang Ping and the others could only wait for the other party to get closer and wave the flag on the ship vigorously. Who knew that the sailboat would obediently stay away from Tang Ping's ship after seeing it.
"Hey!" Tang Ping threw the flag aside and sat on the deck. He didn't know where this place was or the other party's language. The only translation earphone he could use couldn't be used.
"How about I swim to the shore and make a wooden boat to pick you up?" Li Siwen just wanted to make up for it: "Don't worry, my swimming score is among the top three in the entire academy."
Tang Ping pulled him to the side of the boat, pointed to a place in the distance in the water and said, "Did you see that? What are those fins? Shark! Your college didn't teach this? Can you swim through it?"
Although not all sharks attack humans, Tang Ping is not an ichthyologist. Who knows what species the shark near them is?
What if Li Siwen went into the water and was bitten by a shark? How would he explain to Li Ji when he returned to Chang'an?
Hearing Tang Ping talk about sharks, Li Siwen's expression changed. Naturally, there are people who teach this in the Maritime Academy.
"Then...what should we do?"
"Keep asking for help. I hope someone can come over and help us. If that doesn't work, we'll find a way to make a raft out of the floating objects on the boat and go ashore first."
Usually large warships and the like are equipped with lifeboats, but this small cruise ship does not.
They can only wait and wait.
However, several ships passed by on this day, but they all stayed away from them after discovering them.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, another boat passed by in the distance. This time, Tang Ping and the others were waving flags and shouting with loudspeakers. Finally, the other boat did not escape, but slowly drove the boat over.
This is a medium-sized sailboat. A sailor in his fifties stood on the bow and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Tang Ping was excited. He finally heard the other party speak, and the automatic translation function of his earphones started to work.
"Our boat is broken down. Can you help us get to the shore?"
"The boat is broken??" The sailor looked at Tang Ping's boat suspiciously. It had neither sails nor oars. Although it could float on the water, could it still be called a boat?
After thinking for a while, he said: "At sea, we are not allowed to refuse others' calls for help, so I can help you."
Tang Ping has also heard of this saying. It is said that if you reject others' calls for help on the sea, it is likely that no one will save you when you are in trouble in the future.
The sailor asked others to maneuver the sailboat and throw a bundle of cables over as they passed by Tang Ping's cruise ship.
"Tie to the bow of your boat and I'll take you to our dock!"
Tang Ping and the others tied the cable as instructed, and then the sailboat began to slowly drag their cruise ship forward.
"Sir, that person just now doesn't seem to be a good person!" Lao Cui said with some worry.
Tang Ping also saw that the fifty-year-old sailor had several scars on his face and chest, but life at sea might be more dangerous than on the shore, so a few scars didn't mean much.
What's more, in their current situation, it seems that they have no other choice but to tell Lao Cui and the others to be careful.
There were originally Li Siwen and a dozen sailors on the cruise ship, plus Tang Ping brought Lao Cui and the others and more than a dozen guards, so there were exactly thirty people at once.
With their strength and weapons, even if two to three hundred people surrounded them, they would still be able to break through.
Now we can only take one step at a time.
