Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Er'er held Sanchuan's hand, Xu Yiyi held Sihai's hand and had Wuyuan tied in his arms. After checking their household registration at the dock, the five of them boarded the merchant ship.

Xu Yiyi paid the money and took the children to the second floor. Looking out, there was an endless sea.

There were strong waves on the sea, and the merchant ship was shaking slightly. The three older children were a little excited and chattered non-stop.

Xu Yiyi held Wu Yuan in her arms and fed him in the side room. This is how children eat a lot and poop a lot.

After changing the diaper, the child fell asleep.

Seagulls are circling nearby, flying low over the sea, or calling loudly.

"Look, big sister!"

I saw a seagull swooping down suddenly at an extremely fast speed as if it had discovered a target.

With his naked eyes, Xu Yiyi only saw a gray flash of lightning across the sky.

The seagull held its wings close to its body, its sharp gaze fixed on the sea below.

The next moment, it opened its wide beak and accurately clamped a small fish. Its movements were quick and decisive, without a trace of drag.

"Is it the same when you go out to sea, sister?"

How could I put it? Sihai felt a surge of excitement watching the seagulls hunt. He didn't know how to describe it.

"That's not the case. I can't fly."

Xu Yiyi looked indifferent. Haiou was much more handsome than her.

As the wind changed in the afternoon, the busy figures of the crew on the deck formed a harmonious picture with the tranquil and pleasant scenery.

The sails turned and the rudder began to adjust.

Qingshan asked someone to bring them some food, and the five siblings felt comfortable in the room.

The second floor is basically a wing room for sleeping, and there are relatively few people there at the moment.

There were too many people on the first floor, and Xu Yiyi didn't dare stay downstairs with her children.

When merchant ships sailed into the waters surrounding the city, every once in a while one could see gorgeously decorated and majestic official ships speeding by.

On the ship, officers and soldiers wore uniform armor, held spears and swords, and looked solemn and determined.

Everyone has their own duties. Those at the bow and stern are responsible for keeping an eye on the movements on the sea, while those on the deck are watching the undercurrents and reefs under the ship to ensure the safe navigation of the ship.

Sometimes you can also come across canal ships transporting supplies.

"Sister, what kind of boat is this and why is it so fast?"

The three children stared at the speeding boats.

These boats were long and narrow and moved very swiftly and flexibly. Xu Yiyi saw them when he came back from the boat, but he didn't have time to express his curiosity before returning to the town.

"That's a walking naval vessel. It's extremely fast and flexible, usually used in conjunction with large warships. Not only can it disrupt the enemy's position on the battlefield, but most importantly, it can quickly transmit information and perform emergency rescue tasks. Of course, it can also be used for patrols like it's doing now."

The crew members on the second floor saw how curious they were and couldn't help showing off in front of them.

As expected, except for Xu Yiyi, the other three children all looked very admiring, their eyes full of curiosity.

"But-"

The crew member stretched out his voice, sounding a bit mysterious.

"But this kind of ship isn't affordable everywhere. Can you guess why?"

The crew member looked around and felt the child's curiosity.

"why?"

……

"I think it's probably because it's too dangerous."

Sanchuan thought about it and realized that the fast speed meant that the operation was relatively more difficult. In addition, since they were patrolling near the coast, it was easy to run aground, causing serious damage to both the crew and the ship.

Sanchuan tried to analyze it and felt that this was the most consistent with his actual situation.

The crew's eyes widened slightly when they heard this.

"How old are you, kid?"

"So I guessed right?"

Mikawa stared at the crew.

"That's partly true, but another thing is that this ship is expensive! Its construction requires extremely sophisticated craftsmanship and the finest materials, which requires a huge investment of money. Another thing is that this type of ship is extremely difficult to operate.

For example, your Uncle Qingshan has been a helmsman for about ten years and has a lot of experience, but he can't drive a boat like this."

Xu Yiyi stood by and listened. Not far from the merchant ship, another pleasure boat passed by.

It can't be compared with modern ships, but it is considered the most advanced technology here.

"There must be another reason, right? Zou Ge is so rare, and it's definitely not something a small place like ours can afford. The imperial court distributes it, and it decreases from level to level. There shouldn't be such a good thing here."

When the crew heard this, they thought it was incredible!

His original intention was just to show off, but now he was looking at the two children with new respect.

"You're quite right. We definitely couldn't afford this a few years ago, but we have Captain Lin here!"

"The Grand Commandant of the Zhechou Prefecture, whose grandfather was a Grand Tutor for three dynasties, can get anything he wants, let alone a few galleys."

Xu Yiyi finally understood. To put it more clearly, it was the uneven distribution of resources. If it weren't for Lin Ke, the officials in the capital might have to use boats converted from merchant ships to patrol the sea like the officers and soldiers in the town.

Big, bulky, and flashy.

After getting off the boat, the children who had been educated couldn't help but think about this matter. They wondered if their fathers would also go out to sea for patrol in such a fast boat?

After Xu Yiyi handed the household registration to the officer for inspection, she tied the rope she had made at home around the waists of several children.

"What are you doing, sister?"

Er Er tugged at the rope around his waist, just like selling a slave.

"There are too many people here. I can't take care of them all by myself. I'll use this to tie you up so you don't get lost."

Xu Yiyi warned the children not to break free before bringing them ashore.

When the bell on the shore rang, the first thing he saw was the figures of Xu Yiyi and several children.

He subconsciously thought of the letter in Lin Ke's study.

Yesterday he was summoned to the study by Lin Ke, and happened to meet the disciple who came in with Lin Ke's letter.

He immediately saw the envelope with Xu Yiyi's name on it at the top.

For some unknown reason, Zhong Xiang took the letter away.

When he opened the letter after returning home, he found that the content of Xu Yiyi's letter was about the fishing village and pirates.

He panicked for a moment, because it was he who provided his son with the method of using the people in the fishing village as bait to wipe out the pirates.

The first thing Zhong Congyun wrote to him when he heard about this was this method that came to his mind.

This group of pirates had committed heinous crimes six years ago, but even with all the officers and soldiers dispatched, they couldn't even find the pirates.

Hearing about these people again after six years, if we can wipe them out completely, we will definitely make a great contribution.

But he never thought that someone would actually send a letter to Lin Ke to report this matter.

After reading the letter, Zhong Xiang immediately destroyed it. If Lin Ke knew about it, all the officials in the town government would be in trouble.

As a result, he, who was giving advice behind the scenes, might have to go back home.

Is it for this matter that Xu Yiyi came this time?

Zhong Xiang couldn't guess, but he didn't dare let Xu Yiyi meet Lin Ke.

But Xu Yiyi had the tortoise talisman given by Lin Ke, so it was easier for him to enter and exit Zhechou Mansion than for him, a captain.

Zhong Xiang, who was confused, thought of stopping the man first and then taking action according to the situation.

But he never expected that when he looked up, Xu Yiyi was gone.

"Why are you walking so fast, big sister?"

Sihai, a little guy with a height of three heads, had short legs and could not keep up, so he was completely carried by Xu Yiyi.

"It's okay. There were too many people there just now. I was afraid you would be stepped on, so I walked faster."

Xu Yiyi spoke calmly and without mentioning the bell ringing she had just seen.

She just finds the ringing of the bell annoying, and every time she sees it she starts talking nonsense.

They are just pretending, and if you don't know, you would think they have a very good relationship.

Xu Yiyi hates dealing with people like this the most.

It's really tiring.
