Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Shen Lin didn't say anything else. He followed Wei Wu into the cabin without looking at the man again.

The two waited on the boat for about twenty minutes before the person who was calling for help finally swam to the vicinity of the yacht.

But even so, Wei Wu had no intention of getting up and still sat calmly on the sofa.

Originally, Shen Lin was about to walk over, but seeing that Wei Wu had no intention of moving, he simply stopped.

However, he did not sit down again. Instead, he naturally came to stand behind Wei Wu, his eyes looking towards the stern.

At the same time, the person who was asking for help in the sea finally reached the deck at the rear of the yacht after his final effort.

But I don’t know what he was thinking. After finally climbing onto the deck, he was still holding the wooden board in his hand.

After collapsing on the deck and taking a few deep breaths, the man looked towards the cabin and shouted something.

After a few seconds of shouting, there was still no response, so he opened his mouth again to continue shouting.

But at this moment, Shen Lin suddenly appeared at the fence at the rear of the deck, looking down at him from above.

When the person who had just boarded the boat saw what Shen Lin was wearing, he was stunned and stared at him for a long time without coming back to his senses.

It was not until the person asking for help noticed that Shen Lin's expression showed some impatience that he slowly spoke a few words.

"Are you Han Chinese?"

That’s right, the person asking for help actually spoke Chinese, and Shen Lin’s expression was quite surprised when he heard what he said.

"You can speak Chinese."

"I can say it, I can say it, I am not a pirate, I am a Han Chinese!"

After the person asking for help finished speaking, Shen Lin nodded slightly, but then asked another question.

"What's your name, and why are you boarding this ship without permission?"

Hearing Shen Lin's question, the person seeking help did not hesitate and immediately explained pitifully:

"My name is Bao Qiugen. I didn't mean to offend you. I was just too tired, so I had no choice but to board your ship."

"I was persecuted by criminals and drifted on the sea for a day and a night. I was hungry, cold, and tired. I really couldn't hold on any longer..."

When he said this, Bao Qiugen's voice was a little choked, and it was obvious that he had indeed suffered a lot.

However, Shen Lin did not show any sympathy for his experience, but simply nodded.

Then he was silent for a moment before speaking:

"Come up! Whether you are to be blamed or not is not my decision. It is up to our young master to decide. Remember, our young master's last name is Wei."

After hearing this, Bao Qiugen realized that the person in front of him was not the ship owner, but just a servant.

Seeing that Shen Lin had turned around and walked into the cabin, Bao Qiugen quickly stood up and followed Shen Lin to Wei Wu.

When Wei Wu saw Bao Qiugen for the first time, he subconsciously frowned, but quickly recovered.

"Your name is Bao Qiugen?"

Hearing Wei Wu talking to him, Bao Qiugen quickly bent down and replied with a slightly flattering expression:

"Yes, I, Bao Qiugen, would like to thank Master Wei for letting me on board. Otherwise, I would have died at sea."

Looking at the person in front of him, Wei Wu's brows, which had just returned to their original position, immediately frowned again.

Wei Wu felt a little strange before. He just asked Shen Lin to bring people in, but Shen Lin acted like he was interrogating a criminal.

However, out of trust in Shen Lin, Wei Wu did not choose to stop him, but let Shen Lin do it on his own.

Now that he saw Bao Qiugen standing in front of him with his own eyes, Wei Wu finally understood why Shen Lin had that attitude.

This guy really gave people a bad impression, but Wei Wu himself didn't know how to describe it.

It had nothing to do with his unlucky name, but rather that his face gave Wei Wu a bad first impression.

This guy obviously looks fine overall, but he just makes people feel uncomfortable.

Take his eyes for example. He was clearly looking into Wei Wu's eyes, but his gaze seemed to be flickering.

Moreover, the black parts of the two eyes should be close together, leaving a large part of the white part of the eyes, which is very similar to what people call "three white eyes".

In addition, when he spoke, both his tone and subconscious subtle movements were very incongruous.

The reason is simple. A normal person would be grateful if his life was saved, but this guy was obviously flattering.

This reminded Wei Wu of what Brother Xiao said, that people can be judged by their appearance to a certain extent, and the one in front of him is one of them.

So even though he didn't say anything unpleasant, Wei Wu couldn't help but frown.

After staring at Bao Qiugen for a while, Wei Wu quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to ask:

"You said you were Han Chinese, so how did you end up here among the Japanese pirates?"

Hearing Wei Wu's question, Bao Qiugen bowed again and immediately began to explain:

"I was kidnapped. To be honest, I used to be a businessman. I usually brought goods from Shaoxing to Shandong to do business."

"A few years ago, I encountered Japanese pirates while I was shipping goods as usual. I spent all my wealth and almost lost my life."

"In the end, the pirate leader took a fancy to me and wanted me to help him with his business, which is why I barely survived until now. This time I almost died because..."

Bao Qiugen wanted to continue speaking, but Wei Wu was too lazy to listen to him and simply waved his hand to interrupt him.

Wei Wu didn't think there was anything wrong with Bao Qiugen's explanation. If goods were brought from Shaoxing to Shandong, they must have been shipped by ship.

Japanese pirates invaded the Ming Dynasty's coast all year round, and the shogunate even sent people to pretend to be pirates to plunder. It was completely normal for Bao Qiugen to encounter such a thing.

But Wei Wu only needed to have a general understanding of Bao Qiugen's name and his origins, as for how he encountered the villains.

No matter how he was persecuted, Wei Wu felt that these things had nothing to do with him and he didn't want to waste his time.

His request to Bao Qiugen was simple: he had saved his life, and he wanted to be his translator as a reward.

Wei Wu didn't like this person, so after he got ashore, he asked him all the questions he needed to ask and then let him go.

But thinking about what Bao Qiugen just said about him drifting on the sea for a day and a night, I could ask him for some news first.

Having made up his mind, Wei Wu suppressed his discomfort and looked at Bao Qiugen and asked.

"You said you drifted on the sea for a day and a night. Did you see any Ming Dynasty ships nearby? The kind of fleet that consisted of many large ships?"
