Chapter 1129: He’s back

Bai Zhi was much calmer than her. She looked at the wooden board one foot in front of her without squinting, holding the stake tightly with both hands, just wanting the boat to get to the shore sooner. Otherwise, she might vomit the fish soup she drank before.

Gu Boyang leaned forward and asked Bai Zhi: “Are you okay? Are you seasick?”

Bai Zhi smiled bitterly: “The boat is shaking, it’s hard not to get dizzy.”

Gu Boyang was a marine detective, who went out to sea every day.

“I will teach you a breathing method. You learn how to do it, and you will be much better.” When he first became a marine police officer, he would also get seasick. The instructor taught them a breathing method for the new police officers to be more efficient.

Without scruples, Bai Zhi learned it. She didn’t expect it to be effective. This breathing method was very similar to the midwifery breathing method commonly used by pregnant women during childbirth. She didn’t expect that this breathing method could also have the effect of reducing seasickness.

Shane Shaw moved to Bai Zhi’s side and said excitedly to Bai Zhi: “We’re almost there, it’s almost there, you look, it’s there–” Shane Shaw pointed to the land in the distance.

Bai Zhi immediately looked in the direction pointed by Shane Shaw. Sure enough, she saw the outline of the land, no longer just an isolated island in the sea, but a long and boundless land.

Xiao Qing smiled excitedly: “We’re finally here, I’m fed up with the days floating on the sea.”

Bai Zhi asked Shane Shaw: “How big is the largest ship ever built in your Shane Family’s shipyard?”

Shane Shaw thought for a while, then glanced at the broken ship they were in at this time, and said: “It’s about five times bigger than this.”

Only five times bigger than this broken boat in front of her? So to say, it was only three times bigger than her boat. Only five times bigger than this broken boat, how could it be possible to cross the sea to Chu State? It was impossible.

“Can’t we make a bigger one?” She remembered that Song Lang’s merchant ship was more than ten times larger than this broken ship, not to mention the warships built by the government.

Shane Shaw was puzzled: “This kind of ship is enough, why do you have to build a bigger one?”

Bai Zhi said: “Is it enough to go out to sea to fish? Have you ever thought that maybe you can build a big ship to go overseas and use the goods from your United kingdom to exchange goods from other countries overseas, such as our fabrics in the Central Plains?”

Shane Shaw’s eyes lit up, and his eyes fell on the cloth on Bai Zhi’s body again. If a large number of such materials could be transported from their country, many people would rush to buy them. After all, this kind of fabric was so exquisite that everyone would want to own a piece of this kind of clothes.

Shane Shaw smiled and said: “I understand, maybe it is possible, I will try it.”

It shouldn’t take long to build a ship. Bai Zhi hooked her lips, feeling that her hope of returning to Chu country has increased a lot.

When the fishing boat docked, Xiao Qing and Bai Zhi squatted on the pier and vomited. Only when they vomited so much that there was nothing in their stomachs, did they feel much better.

As soon as Shane Shaw appeared at the dock, someone recognized him immediately: “Shaw? It’s you? You’re back.”

“Richard? Why are you here?” Shane Shaw stepped forward to greet him.

“I’m here to do something. What about you? The Shane Family has been turned upside down because of your sudden disappearance.”

The smile on Shane Shaw’s face froze, and he said in a low voice, “It’s nothing, I’ve been out at sea for a few days, didn’t I come back?”

“You boy, you have to tell your family when you go out to sea. You left so quietly, but your old man was so anxious that he is still ill until now.”

  1. …BZ does know that what the UK ended up doing with its big ships was not trade but colonization, right? Just because this world is not her original one…

    1. Well, it was trade with China because China was too big for them to swallow. The other countries in between? Sucks to be them. The Chinese probably still see the British as money grubbing traders since they only set up in Hong Kong and not advance further in while places like Africa, India and Malaya, the British were in all their colonial “glory”.
