I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

As the ship moved forward, Gao Ming became a little anxious.

During the two hours the ship was docked today, he spoke a few words to the locals he was familiar with, and three fixed seats were vacated on the dock.

It was suddenly vacant.

Maybe ordinary people don’t know what it means, but those who make a living on the water know clearly that the owners of these three fixed locations are gone.

In other words, the ship berthing space is no longer needed and cannot be used.

Generally, such situations occur when the local government is under control or...unable to control them.

There had been peace on the water for nine years.

When he was a child, he had heard about the brutality of pirates. The local ones might be related to the local fleet, so nine times out of ten they were released.

But the pirates from Goryeo and Ryukyu are much more exaggerated. Nine out of ten times they are encountered, they are killed.

But nine years ago, a powerful water combat army emerged, staining the coast with blood that lasted for a long time.

After that long and large-scale battle at sea.

Not to mention the bandits in the Ryukyu Sea and the Goryeo pirates, even the local pirates were trembling in fear.

At most, they could cooperate with local chambers of commerce to squeeze out foreign merchant ships, new businesses, etc. and engage in commercial warfare.

So three people who lived off the sea disappeared at once...

It's hard not to think of water bandits.

This anxiety was noticed by Shen Ying and Qi Yanchuan. One of them had textbook acting skills, while the other learned and honed his acting skills from the market, which were closer to real expressions. No matter which one, if you observe people's micro-expressions carefully, you can find it quite accurate.

Shen Ying is a woman, and she is afraid that she will be criticized if she chats with others carelessly. She doesn't care, but her parents do care, so she throws this task to Qi Yanchuan.

When they found out that they were worried about the pirates, they both felt a tightness in their hearts.

As long as the word "bandit" is included in the name, they are basically extremely vicious criminals.

No matter if they are mountain bandits or naval bandits, they will really kill people.

I didn't expect that even if I fled the famine early and took the water route, there was still no guarantee of a smooth journey.

Shen Ying planned to get a crossbow for her own use at the next supply port, and then pass through in front of others.

"Why am I still thinking like a petty bourgeois? I have money now." Shen Ying suddenly thought of something: "I can definitely hire talented people. I don't need them to live and die for me, nor do I need them to serve me for the rest of their lives. I can just hire a new batch every three to five years and take care of all the chores. Isn't that great?"

Yes, she scolded herself for still being confined to the framework of me, a seemingly glamorous but actually poor movie queen!

She has thousands of taels!

No, we still have the mall to provide confidence and support.

Therefore, Shen Ying took out her little notebook and started writing.

The most urgent task is to find a person with strong fighting ability.

It doesn't matter whether you are good at southern boxing or northern kicking, or at least you are good at one weapon, as long as you are not a deserter and can take care of work-related injuries and your funeral, it will be easier to find a suitable person than in modern times.

The second is doctors, both male and female doctors.

Finally, there are the maids who cook and sweep the floor. As long as they can do their job well, it's fine. She won't ask them to do ten jobs for one salary. They are not modern social animals.

As for maids, you can look for them too, but look for those who are simple-minded, strong, and preferably those who are fierce and cowardly.

Well, I'm glad to see you!

Shen Ying smiled silently, and her anxiety about the possible appearance of pirates seemed to have eased a little.

Now that it has come, let it go.

I haven’t encountered any pirates yet.

But when Gao Ming was trying to get to shore again, they encountered a problem. They were docked near a large mudflat.

It looked like an uninhabited beach.

After finally creating a wooden plank path and stepping on the sand, someone came running over with a rake in hand, shouting from a distance: "Selynmu, how dare you come here!"

Shen Ying heard a familiar language.

It just rushed into her eardrums so clearly.

"Is this still Fujian Province?"

"Yes, if we go south for another half a day we will reach Guangdong Province. After entering Xin'an County of Guangdong Province, we will return. Have you forgotten?" If it is too far, the price will not be the same.

Of course Shen Ying knew how impossible it was to go all the way to Yazhou, so she decided to go find the captain.

I just didn't want to wait any longer, so I agreed.

"That person is cursing, this is someone else's place." Looking at the holes on the mudflats, it is estimated that there are small seafood, such as clams, shellfish, small crabs and the like.

"It's okay, I know that guy." The language system where Gao Ming lives is different from here. In Fujian Province, to exaggerate, the dialect is different every three feet away.

But Gao Ming had been there before and had learned a few common phrases. He trotted over, and the other party must have understood him and turned and ran away.

After a while, seven or eight people came over.

Shen Ying stared, why was he still shaking people?

If all else fails, she can speak a few words of the Minnan dialect.

Fortunately, they were not there to quarrel or fight, but to sell dried seafood.

Gao Ming waved his hand and said that it was going to be rough tonight, so they should stay here overnight. If they were interested in dried seafood products, he would arrange to buy them. "The people here are quite clever. They raise the price and deceive outsiders. If you are really interested in seafood, just agree on how much you want and I will tell you."

Shen Ying had no objection. As for seafood, even if it was pure natural and without chemical additives, it was not very attractive to her.

The eldest and second uncles of the Shen family were arranged to stay on the boat. The old lady didn't want to get off, so she simply stayed on it with the people who were watching the boat. The rest of the people followed Gao Ming into the village.

The population of the small fishing village is not large, at most about twenty households.

The fishing nets were spread out to dry, occupying a large area.

Shen Youtian squatted down and watched with interest.

"Why are you looking at these? I've never found a way to survive in the sea in my life."

Shen Youtian looked at his wife, then at his daughter in the distance. "Didn't we say that our destination this time is Yazhou? I asked, and it's also the sea. Since it's all sea, maybe we'll have to make a living by fishing and sailing out to sea in the future."

When Shen's mother heard this, she realized it made sense and squatted down to watch.

Stayed in the fishing village for one night and it was terrible.

It was very windy at night and you could even hear the sound of the tide.

All the men in the team got up to go to the bathroom, and Xiaobao and Qi Wang were no exception.

I don't know what the reason is.

Coupled with the faint fishy smell that always lingered at the tip of her nose, Shen Ying wished she could sleep in the mall.

The next day, although I didn't buy any dried seafood, I did buy two.

A man who is obviously not a local by the skin color and looks very much like a Kunlun slave, and his mother.

She saw that Shen Ying looked like a lady from a wealthy family, so she came over and asked Shen Ying if she could take in two more servants.

Shen Ying was a little surprised. "I have seen you. Don't you have your own small yard and Fang Zhou? Looking at your son's physique, as long as he is not weak, he can definitely earn a living. Why do you want to sell yourself into slavery?"

The woman sighed. The child’s father was a Kunlun slave, whom she fished out of the water when she was young.

Who knew that they would develop feelings for each other and have a child together, and then he disappeared, and it had been fifteen years since he left.

She would never wait again.

Of course, the reason for choosing to sell by myself was not just this. "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the young lady. There is a master in town who sells tea. He has proposed to buy my son to serve him... No, normal service."

Shen Ying said "oh", and then "hmmmm"???
