The passenger ship ready to sail is moored at a berth on the pier, next to the trestle.

Customers and crew members on and off the ship can only use long boards to get up and down. There are no handrails on both sides of the board, and walking up is trembling, which makes many timid people panic, and even falls into the water from time to time. Fortunately, there is never a shortage of people who can swim here, but no one has hurt their lives.

Compared with this, those laborers who carried the big bags and transported the goods into the cabin or out of the ship had a more stable footsteps. The board that bounces with gravity is like flat ground to them, and they walk steadily and quickly.

Of course, when Fang Chang walked on it, he couldn't feel any weight on the board.

He looked at the guest room and decided that he would choose this ship for travel.

After all, the movements of several miles around could not escape my induction, and the spiritual induction was always accurate. The sailors on this ship were generally reliable, so they simply settled down. Fang Chang didn't have any other luggage, he just paid the deposit, got the room key directly, and walked into his residence.

It seems to be preferential treatment for those who spend money. This is not the kind of plank bed that is common in sailing, but a separate living room, and there is a comfortable large hammock.

According to the story of the person who introduced him on board, the hammock can filter out the fluctuations of the wind and waves outside to the greatest extent, and it is relatively more comfortable to sleep on.

After Fang Zhang paid the deposit, it was two sailors who were specially used to entertain guests, leading him to familiarize himself with the structure inside the cabin and telling him the precautions.

"The sailing time is approaching. Guests, please pay attention to yourself. Don't delay the time. After all, if the ship is out of date, the ship will not wait and the deposit will not be refunded. Of course, the goods consigned on it will still be unloaded at the destination port according to the previous agreement. Storage, but the storage fee needs to be paid by yourself.”

"Okay." Fang Chang nodded, and continued to check the clean cabin inside.

It seems that the people in the boat put their heart into arranging the living environment. The bedding on the hammock is very new, and the floor has been wiped clean and less dusty. On the small table in the room, several bamboo and wooden teapots and cups are neatly placed together, buckled in a shallow wooden plate.

The little crew member who led him next to him continued:

"Boiled water is not provided in the cabin, but hot water will be provided at any time. As long as there is a need, just greet us outside the door. In addition, the meals on the ship will not be provided uniformly, let alone delivered to your room. Go below the deck, there is a small dining hall, you can eat as much as you want, you just need to wait in line."

Fang Chang nodded and continued walking forward.

Similar to the cabin assigned to me, the corridors are full on both sides. Listening to the movement, there are already people in most of them. Thinking about the remaining cabins, some of them should have been sold, but the owner has not yet boarded the ship.

Occasionally, a few people who opened the door would nod their heads. Fang Chang took a closer look. Most of them were dressed as businessmen, and they probably brought goods to sell in the East China Sea.

After explaining the precautions by himself, the little crew member bowed down and said to this seemingly friendly customer:

"Guests can go to rest by themselves, or take a look around the non-cargo space on the ship, or disembark. There are many places to play around, but please remember to come back before sailing - if there is nothing important, stay on the ship Alright. I still have things to do, so let’s get to work.”

Fang Chang cupped his hands slightly: "Thank you."

He walked into his own single room alone, untied the package and Lingquan sword and put them aside, took off his coat and lay down gently on the hammock.

It's very comfortable.

And at this angle, the sunlight outside the window happened to shine in, and it was not blocked by the surrounding layers of masts and cables.

The food on the boat is okay, because it is close to the shore, it can even provide fresh vegetables, but the types of ingredients are not too many, and the patterns are also average. It is a good place for ordinary people. .

After the meal, Fang Chang found a railing and leaned on it to watch the sea view.

He calculated carefully in his heart. According to the news he just received from the crew, this ship will not go too deep into the East China Sea, but will land on the island closest to Chaoyun Port. Find transportation to go where you want to go.

After all, the East China Sea is very vast, and the islands in it are dotted and intricate. There is no route that is perfect for a large ship and covers a wider area.

Looking from here, you can see the busy sailors on the ships on both sides.

They are often well-trained, or they repair and tidy up the ship, fill some insignificant ship board wounds, or climb to the top of the mast, assist the people below, and use pulley blocks to hang the huge hard sail on the mast. Then start tidying up the cables.

Two hours before departure, Fang Chang finally saw the captain himself.

He looked quite old, and compared to the surrounding citizens on the shore, he seemed more mature. The sea-breathed face recorded the captain's experience like a medal.

"Leave—the boat——!"

The shouting sound came from the deck outside. It was the loud voice crew members on the ship specially hired to shout before sailing to refresh their minds and remind people nearby to get on board quickly.

Sure enough, after waiting for another half a quarter of an hour, the ship took back the boards.

Then the thick anchor chain was lifted out of the water with a combined force and tied, and the mooring line that tied the boat to the dock was also untied. Then the crew took out the oars, raised the sails a little bit, and with the help of the wind, gently swung out from the edge of the pier and headed straight for the distant sea.

"Raise the sails!"

The captain looked at the direction of the wind and ordered to the sailors below.

Soon everyone worked together to raise the heavy sail, and then adjusted the direction. Taking advantage of the wind blowing from the land during the winter day, they headed straight for the East China Sea.

The pier is getting farther and farther away, and the masts such as forests are gradually disappearing on the horizon.

After completing the most risky out-of-port operation, the crew members gradually relaxed, stopped their movements, and returned to their posts.

And inside the cabin, those crew members who watched the movement outside through the window, seeing that they had successfully set sail, also began to gradually come out of the cabin to move around. Some of them talked with each other, some walked around to check the scenery outside, and some went to the place where the bulk cargo was handled on the ship to buy some food and gadgets.

Fang Chang also came out and looked around.

The sea has always been "three feet of waves without wind", but now there is wind, the waves are undulating, and the boats pass through the water, creaking and creaking with the undulating waves.
