"How long have you been at sea?"
For a ship as big as theirs to go out to sea, the supplies must be very sufficient. How could it be without fresh water?
"Hmm..." Jiang Yue did the math and was not sure: "It should be four months. I'm not sure. Anyway, it's been so long that I can't even remember the time."
"Four months?" Ye Qianning was surprised.
"Well, our boat encountered a strong wind, and then lost its way. We tried to sail in the same direction, and then encountered several waves and fog. Our boat completely lost its direction and sailed aimlessly. Some people are already sick, and more than a dozen people have died." Jiang Yue's voice gradually became quieter, and her eyes moved slightly.
Ye Qianning didn't expect that they had wandered at sea for so long. They sailed to uninhabited seas. The weather was always dark and the sun was rarely seen.
Moreover, the sea area is unpredictable, and sometimes a huge whirlpool will form. If the whirlpool is too big, people on the edge will not feel that the ship is wandering with the whirlpool.
Jiang Yue was a little silent. After the ship lost its direction, it was estimated that every day was spent in torture, especially after finding that there was not enough material, the spirits of the people on the ship should be tense.
"Follow me." Ye Qianning stood up from the rocking chair.
Jiang Yue looked up and saw Ye Qianning walking towards the cabin, lifting her heels.
Ye Qianning walked into the cabin. There was a small bucket in the cabin, which was filled with water by an experienced sailor. She always opened it.
"This is fresh water. You can have someone carry it up."
Jiang Yue looked at a bucket with a surprised expression. Didn't she just say that there was no fresh water stored?
"I just don't want to give it to them. Little girl, I think you are very pleasing to the eye." Ye Qianning smiled as if he saw her doubts.
Jiang Yue's surprised face turned slightly red: "I'm already sixteen, not too young, and I don't think you're too old either."
It's embarrassing to be called a little girl by someone of similar age.
"I'm not young anymore." Ye Qianning raised her hand and threw her an apple.
Jiang Yue stretched out her hand to catch it. The apple was red. Speaking of it, she hadn't eaten fruit for more than two months. She was not polite. She opened her mouth and took a big bite: "Thank you, sister...it's so sweet and delicious."
"By the way, what are you looking for when you go to sea?"
"Well...it's just..."
"I forgot, you eat first, don't be in a hurry." Seeing her hesitating, Ye Qianning suddenly felt that she was a little impatient.
Jiang Yue nodded, finished the apple in several bites, and wiped her mouth: "A strange bead appeared on the coast half a year ago. It was very beautiful. It was transparent and had seven colors inside. Everyone said it was a shark bead. There are rumors that there are sharks in the deep sea. Nanyuan The nobles in the imperial capital didn’t know where they heard the news, so they ordered us, the Jiang family and the Huo family, to go to sea to find out the truth.”
"Transparent colorful beads?"
"kindness."
Ye Qianning seemed to have thought of something. If she guessed correctly, it should be the beads polished by her space crystal. She used to use them as marbles for fishing, but she didn't expect that they would reach the beach after being so far away.
If the spar can reach the sea, what about the drift bottle she asked Dundun to put away a few years ago?
"Besides beads, are there any other strange things in the sea, such as bottles?"
"You mean the bottle with the strange note?"
Ye Qianning was overjoyed: "Yes, you know?"
"Everyone in the four countries knows that Xianhai Tower bought bottles with one hundred taels of gold. In the past two years, almost everyone went to the sea to look for bottles."
