Chapter 47 The thrill at sea (VIP chapter)

Su Dingfang stood on the bow of the boat, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead, looking up at the scorching sun in the sky, and said, "This sun is really poisonous. There is no such poisonous sun in China. This wilderness is tormenting, and even the sun is so uncomfortable."

In the eyes of the Song people, the Shang Kingdom of China was a place of enlightenment, and the place outside this was a place of barbarians. Uncultivated and barbarians gathered, which was of course prejudice. Since leaving Guangzhou, he has been poisoned by the scorching sun, which has already made him feel uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, after leaving the Three Buddhas, he drove into the ocean, and the days became even more uncomfortable, and the sun was even more poisonous than the sun of the Three Buddhas.

This is not what makes him most uncomfortable. What makes him feel most uncomfortable is that he has not seen the shadow of the land for several months, as if the sea is boundless and endless. The sea is really strange. Even in the middle of the night, it is so hot that it is so hot that it is not a trace of cool breeze. Su Dingfang was used to the sea route from Guangzhou to Southeast Asia. He is very familiar with the ocean, but he has never encountered such a thing. I don’t know how many times it curses the deadly ghost weather.

The Song people of Su Dingfang didn't know that they had reached the equator, so of course they were so hot. The sea water was quite hot, and it was difficult to cool after being heated. There was naturally no cool breeze in the middle of the night, and the whole sea was like a steamer, so it was natural that heat was taken for granted.

"Sir, you are right. Is there any need for people to live in this ghost weather?" Sailor Xie Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead and opened his palms. He saw that the palms were covered with sweat. He couldn't help but curse: "This ghost weather is almost roasting me into jerky."

Su Dingfang slapped him on the shoulder and said, "You're talking swear words again."

"Sir, I'm so nervous." Xie Xin quickly flashed to the side.

Several good sailors poked Xie Xin, made a face, stuck out their tongues, and looked gloating.

Su Dingfang pointed at them and said, "Don't take the opportunity to make trouble. In fact, the weather is really hot, and I want to scold him, but I can't say anything. When he scolds, I can relieve my hatred." Su Dingfang is a well-educated person, so it is naturally difficult to speak out if he wants him to swear.

Xie Xinli was in a state of spirit and said, "Sir, I'll scold you again." He opened his mouth and was about to scold him. Su Dingfang shook his hand to stop him, and said, "Save effort to work. If you scold, it's still so hot. If you don't scold, it's still so hot. If we don't scold, we will learn to be at peace with the situation." Su Dingfang is a man with a good heart and can tolerate the deadly ghost weather.

As soon as he finished speaking, a lightning flashed across the sky, and a thunderclap made people's ears buzz. Su Dingfang immediately realized that the sky was about to change, so he roared and said, "Hurry, take your place, take the rudder, and put the sails away." Since they entered the sea, they have encountered many sudden changes in the sky. The sailors have been tested for a long time, and are not panicked at all. They follow the steps and return to their posts.

Another lightning flashed across the sky, with a thunder sound, and the sea breeze suddenly rose, and the waves like a mountain hit them. Su Dingfang and his ships were like leaves throwing the huge waves high, falling down, throwing them up, and falling down again. A few waves came, and the sea water poured into the boat, a thick layer accumulated, which had already flooded the instep.

This storm was the most violent one they encountered since entering the deep sea. Hundreds and eighty waves hit, and the sails were shaved away, and even the masts were blown off. The ships were shaking in the wind and waves and could sink at any time. Although the sailors were brave and sometimes poor in manpower, no matter how hard they tried, they were of no use.

Another huge wave came, and the ship Su Dingfang was riding raised high like a leaf in the wind, flew over the top of the wave, aimed at the wave head in front, and flew straight through the wave peak, slid down the huge wave.

Su Dingfang had never seen such a thrilling thing. He was so scared that his face turned pale. He looked at the sailors such as Xie Xin. They were exactly the same as him, their faces were pale as paper, with no blood at all, as if they were dug out of the soil, as if they were stupid, without any movement, like statues.

Su Dingfang tried hard to squeeze out a little smile. In Xie Xin and the others' eyes, this smile was even worse than crying. They encouraged them, "Hurry up, don't panic, there will be no trouble." Although the sailors were brave and had good skills, he was not sure whether there was anything or not in the face of such huge waves, but he just said it to encourage people's hearts.

Xie Xin and the others were so shocked that they couldn't even speak, so they could only nod their heads stiffly.

God always blesses the brave people. Su Dingfang is right, it's really okay. The wind and waves lasted for about an hour and disappeared. The sky was blue again. The wind stopped and the waves were smooth, like a mirror. The evil wind and waves just now had long disappeared, as if nothing had happened before that was so thrilling that Su Dingfang's heart almost jumped out of it.

Although it was fine, there was still fear. Su Dingfang wiped the sea water on his head and asked, "How is the situation? Are they all okay? Is anyone injured?"

Xie Xin blew the flag, and the other eleven ships blew the flags and answered, reporting to Su Dingfang: "Sir, it's all okay, there's nothing big, only two people were slightly injured."

"That's good, that's good." Su Dingfang was relieved. Looking at the ship that was tortured by the wind and waves, he said with great distress: "The ship is broken like this, how can we go to Dashi?" The twelve ships brought by Su Dingfang were tortured by the twelve ships. Either the sails were blown away, the masts were broken, or water was in the boat, how could Su Dingfang not feel distressed?

Just when Su Dingfang was in pain, several sailors cheered: "Land, land, we finally saw land." Su Dingfang looked in search of the voice, wasn't there a blurry shadow of land in the distance?

This was the first time they saw Land after leaving the Three Buddhas. The excitement was indescribable. They were so happy that they were like children who had obtained their favorite toys. They were so happy that they hugged each other, jumped and laughed, and finally they cried with excitement.

Su Dingfang rubbed his sore nose, rubbed his tears back, and said, "Tell everyone, paddle hard and move forward there." He pointed at the land.

Even Su Dingfang said that, the excited sailors would do the same, picking up their oars and rowing desperately, and the boat shot out at the land like an arrow off the string.

People feel refreshed when they are happy, and the land is right in front of them. The sailors are full of energy and use their strength to feed themselves. In a short while, the vague shadow of the land becomes very clear. From a distance, it is a forest of lush trees. From time to time, wild beasts that cannot be named leaps and rush around the forest, venting their good mood.

There are also many strange flowers that cannot be named to embellish them, allowing Su Dingfang and others who have suffered in the sea to feel the breath of life. They feel that life is so beautiful, real and valuable.

This is a beautiful fairyland in the painting. The sailors couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so beautiful that my eyes are blurred." They are not poets, so naturally they can't chant in the way of poets, but their tone is almost the same as that of poets.

Amid the people's praise, the ship finally landed. Without waiting for Su Dingfang's order, the sailors rushed into the water and ran towards the shore with the sea water.

Looking at the excited sailors, Su Dingfang was deeply infected. He whistled to the sky, jumped into the sea and followed the sailors to the shore.

When people on the shore discovered that the wild beasts were not afraid of people and did not escape, but just looked at them curiously with their eyes wide open, their eyes flashing, like naughty children. In Su Dingfang and others' memories, wild beasts were afraid of people and had to escape when they saw people. The wild beasts here were not afraid of people and could not understand them.

Xie Xin whistle to coax the dog, and reached to the mouth of a wild beast. Unexpectedly, the wild deer actually stuck out his tongue and licked his palm. Xie Xin said happily: "What a good baby." He opened his arms and hugged the wild deer. The wild deer jumped up and ran away in a panic, but disappeared in an instant.

This immediately alarmed the beasts and ran away. In just a moment, they disappeared. The cheerful scene of the beasts that were originally crowded became deserted.

This kind of experience was very strange. Su Dingfang had never seen it or heard of it. A beautiful picture of the fairyland on earth appeared in his mind. Unexpectedly, it was destroyed by Xie Xin. Looking at the group of beasts running away, he said with regret: "What a pity, what a pity, it's so pity."

Xie Xin smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sir, I didn't mean it."

Su Dingfang comforted him and said, "I'm not blaming you. This kind of thing is rare to encounter once in a lifetime, I just feel a pity." Before he could finish his words, his eyes were as if they were copper bells, and he looked at Lin Bian in surprise, his mouth was wide open, and he even forgot to say anything.

Xie Xin and other sailors were very curious. Following his gaze, they saw more than 30 savages appearing by the forest, both men and women, with their skin darker than the bottom of the pot, with their charcoal heads full of black. Su Dingfang and others walked on the sea for several months. The yellow skin of the Chinese made the sun dark, which was enough to shock them. Compared with the skin of the savages in front of them, they could only be considered a little witch. Not to mention, the savages' faces were colorful, with their upper body naked, and their shirtless, holding wooden sticks in their hands, waving and dancing, running and shouting, and no one knew what they were talking about.

What surprised Su Dingfang and the others the most was that these savages did not wear clothes and didn't even know how to cover their shame. The men's majestic lower bodies swayed with their running, as if they were conveying some kind of warm message to Su Dingfang and the others. The women were even more unbearable. They covered a leaf of the palm of their palm, which was considered as covering them. However, the two pieces of meat on their chests, which were darker than the bottom of the pot, were big and soft, drooping, swaying left and right, as if swinging.

Su Dingfang and others came from China, a country of etiquette. They had never seen such a scene that was denounced as the most debaucherous and indecent by Confucianism. Surprising was naturally inevitable. Without glaring out his eyes, his chin fell, and it was already burning incense.

The savage rushed over with a fierce look, swinging the sticks in his hand. Although Su Dingfang couldn't understand what they said, he realized that they were not in good intentions and hurriedly shouted: "Prepare for battle."

In this case, even if he didn't say it, the sailors and soldiers knew what to do, and they took weapons and were ready to face the battle. Su Dingfang's eyes could see the sailors and soldiers looking at these savages with the eyes of looking at prehistoric dinosaurs, inexplicably shocked. If it weren't for the sea behind them and there was no way to escape, they would have escaped long ago. No wonder China has been a civilized society since the Five Emperors era. When they first saw these barbarians who didn't even wear clothes or even cover their shame, the horror in their hearts was naturally beyond the description of pen and ink.

A large piece of black charcoal head rushed up, and the wooden stick in his hand was aimed at a soldier's head and smashed it. The soldier's head turned away, and the steel knife in his hand waved and chopped it straight towards his neck. Su Dingfang hurriedly shouted, "Don't kill him." The soldier hurriedly smashed the steel knife with a plaque and a back on his neck. The barbarian fell to the ground without even having time to hum.

The other soldiers also followed suit. They were all elite soldiers selected by Zhao Liangchun. They were well-trained and agile. They could not resist them by barbarians. In a short while, dozens of barbarians were smashed down. If Su Dingfang had not been able to bear it and did not want to kill them, with the courage of the Song army, they would have been reimbursed even if they had ten lives.

"Damn it, this barbarian's breast is big and soft, without any bones." Xie Xin cursed and shook his right hand, as if he was throwing something extremely dirty. It turned out that he accidentally punched a female barbarian in the chest, and then came to this precious conclusion that he had personally experienced. However, he was eager to speak without his brain. If there was a bone in the woman, wouldn't it be a strange thing?

In this fight, many soldiers and sailors had similar experiences, and agreed with his conclusion very much and nodded. It was not that they had bad intentions, but they were so scared that the barbarians were almost gone and they were angry. The unlucky female barbarians had to admit that they were unlucky. If they had received the education of Confucianism's idea of ​​"men and women are not allowed to be close to each other", the consequences would probably be very serious.

Although the barbarians were knocked to the ground, they were still not afraid at all. They stared at Su Dingfang and the others with wide eyes. Su Dingfang knew that they were not convinced, so he signaled the soldiers to take the steel knife away, gestured to the big black guy and said, "Don't worry, we have no malice, we are blowing here for the wind and waves. Do you know where this is? Can you tell us?" He held back his fear and tried to pretend to be a kind smile.

"These barbarians don't understand Chinese. Isn't this playing the piano against cows?" The soldiers and sailors complained about Su Dingfang's pedantic behavior in their hearts. They were right. The barbarians were rumbling and speechless, so they naturally couldn't understand the language of the Chinese supreme country.

However, what surprised the soldiers and sailors was that the barbarians actually responded. First, they looked frightened and uneasy, and were very hostile to Su Dingfang. As Su Dingfang told him over and over again, the big black face slowly calmed down. He looked at Su Dingfang hesitantly, and his hands were gestured and shouting. Unfortunately, Su Dingfang couldn't understand his words, so he tried to squeeze out a smile, and put his expression to the most kind, and gestured according to his gestures.

Unexpectedly, it had a miraculous effect. This big black piece jumped up from the ground and looked at Su Dingfang hesitantly. Suddenly, he hugged him in his arms, opened his mouth wide, revealing a white teeth, and gnawed on Su Dingfang's mouth. The big black piece of barbarian bared his teeth and exposed his incisors, which must be to eat people. A soldier was anxious and jumped up and kicked him away with a heavy kick.

"Bao, babe, babe, babe, babe! It's so dirty! It's so smelly! It must have been ten thousand years since I've been silly." Su Dingfang kept shouting in his heart, squatting down, covering his chest and retching.

This cannot be blamed on Su Dingfang. He can only blame the barbarians for being unhygienic. From birth to death, he may not have any experience in dealing with oral hygiene. It is better to say that it is a toilet than a mouth. Even the toilet is probably cleaner than him, and at least someone cleans it. Su Dingfang chewed a mouthful, and there was no tragic idea of ​​falling into the toilet. He didn't even say that the yellow gallbladder was spit out, and he almost vomited out his intestines.

The soldier drew out his knife and pointed it on the barbarian's neck. The barbarian looked at Su Dingfang in confusion, pointing to the sky and the ground, making random strokes, and his big mouth full of smelly yelling, the soldiers and sailors couldn't see it clearly.

Su Dingfang seemed to have some insights, waved his hand to the soldiers, and the soldiers put away their swords. The big black piece jumped up from the ground and jumped twice, as if he was very happy. He gestured to Su Dingfang twice, and without waiting for Su Dingfang to react, he turned around and ran away.

The savage lying on the ground hurriedly got up and ran away with him. It seemed that they had encountered something good, and they were very happy, so they almost had somersaults. Su Dingfang and the others naturally couldn't figure it out, shook their heads, and tried hard to wake up their heads, but the more they thought about it, the more they became, the more confused they became.

The sailors and soldiers looked at Su Dingfang and waited for him to make a decision. Although this kind of thing was dangerous, it was really strange and very tempting. Su Dingfang couldn't help but have a curious thought and said, "Let's go and have a look. Be careful, pay attention to the snakes and insects."

It was very hot here, and it was the place where snakes and insects appeared. Su Dingfang was not exaggerating. The sailors and soldiers trusted him very much and nodded, "Sir, we understand." Follow him to the woods.

The trees here are very different from the middle ground. Su Dingfang is knowledgeable and has never seen them before. He looked at the trees here in extreme surprise, which looks a bit like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
