At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

Outside Shan County, Ren Hao and Wen Yan, along with Shan Ming's daughter and a few temporary servants, drove a horse-drawn carriage towards the ancient Wei capital.

Although ancient Wei had strong military force, its territory was far smaller than that of ancient Han. In order to balance the power of ancient Han, ancient Wei built its capital only 500 miles away from the Qin Imperial City.

According to the speed of the carriage, it is not difficult to travel about a hundred miles a day, and it only takes three to five days to reach the ancient Wei capital.

Then, he could exchange his merchant identity for a customs clearance certificate and take the goods by boat to ancient Wu.

Through the trade channels of ancient Han in ancient Wu, the two could return to ancient Han.

In the carriage, Wen Yan patted Shan Ming's daughter, the girl named Shan Yue, and said with pity: "Don't be afraid, I will be your sister from now on. Stay by my side, and I will treat you as my own sister."

Shan Yue nodded, "Yes, sister."

As he spoke, Shan Yue turned his head and seemed to be able to see the figure in gray outside the county town in the distance.

Ren Hao rode in front on his horse and said, "Hurry up. It's not far to the ancient Wei capital, but it's far to drift on the sea. It will take at least ten days."

The sea routes in this world are still very ancient, relying on sails for propulsion, and the speed is very slow. In addition, if a storm occurs, there is a risk of shipwreck.

But the probability is small after all, and I don't think it would be such a coincidence for me to encounter it.

time flies.

Five days later, the group arrived at the ancient Wei capital.

The capital of ancient Wei was much smaller than that of ancient Han. Ren Hao had naturally never seen it before, but Wen Yan said as if he knew it all: "My ancient Han capital is ten times bigger than this one! The population is also ten times larger!"

"Yes, yes, Gu Han is so awesome." Ren Hao curled his lips.

What's the use of the capital being so big? It still can't beat the ancient Wei!

As if she had heard what was in Ren Hao's heart, Wen Yan reached out and pinched him behind the waist, causing Ren Hao to grimace in pain.

Just a minor incident that will pass quickly.

Ren Hao and Wen Yan exchanged the customs clearance certificates at the government office in charge of trade. Thanks to Dan Ming's advance preparation and Ren Hao's skillful red envelope, the government office in charge of trade quickly processed the certificates for Ren Hao and Wen Yan and warmly saw them off.

Then everyone rushed to the port which was only half a day away.

After arriving at the port, the goods were loaded onto a large barge that was specially designed for sailing on the sea. After a lot of trouble, the ship finally started sailing in the early morning of the next day.

Standing on the deck, watching the land getting farther and farther away, Ren Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally safe!

Wen Yan also smiled and said, "I didn't expect to go through so many twists and turns, and this time I gained a lot!"

"I would rather have no gain." Ren Hao spread his hands.

Wen Yan glared at him angrily: "It's all your fault! If it wasn't for you, why would I be forced to come here!"

"Then I'll leave?" Ren Hao snorted and turned back to the cabin.

The voyage on the sea was very depressing.

Ren Hao and Wen Yan bickered from time to time, but the little girl Shan Yue would giggle secretly, as if after being with Ren Hao and Wen Yan, the sadness in her heart had been alleviated a lot.

In a blink of an eye, five days passed and only one-third of the voyage had been completed. This large barge was carrying a lot of cargo. According to the ship owner's estimate, it would take at least half a month to arrive.

Ren Hao had no other choice. He could jump out of the car at any time on land, but he couldn't jump out of the boat at any time on the sea, right?

Even Wen Yan couldn't sit still anymore. She kept nagging in Ren Hao's ear, complaining that it was Ren Hao who ran around and caused her to suffer.

This made Ren Hao a little indignant. The two of them first quarreled and then started fighting.

The result, of course, was that Ren Hao was taught a lesson by Wen Yan.

Ren Hao took advantage of Wen Yan's unpreparedness and counterattacked directly, pressing Wen Yan under him. He gave Wen Yan a severe beating just like he did that night before he stopped.

This also led to Wen Yan glaring at Ren Hao whenever he saw him in the next few days.

If Wen Yan hadn't been afraid of attracting attention on the boat, she would have dealt with Ren Hao long ago.

Another five days passed. When there were still five days to the destination, Ren Hao was sleeping soundly when he suddenly opened his eyes.

The cabin beneath him was swaying back and forth, with an unusually large amplitude.

The rumbling sound outside the cabin was deafening, and water even seeped in.

Ren Hao's face changed drastically!

"It can't be such a coincidence? Did we encounter a storm?" Ren Hao looked grim and quickly woke up Wen Yan and Shan Yue who were sleeping in the bed next to him.

The three ran out of the cabin and saw a howling storm in the dark night. The mast of the ship was shaking and seemed about to break at any time.

The sailors on the ship were panicked and, under the command of the ship owner, came to the deck in the strong wind to make arrangements.

However, as the boat swayed, the boatmen who had not grabbed hold of the boat were shaken off the boat and fell into the sea, and their lives were unknown!

It would be fine if it was daytime, but now it's late at night and it's pitch black. I can't even see clearly. If I fall into the sea, even if I can swim, the final result will only be death!

On this aimless sea, leaving the ship means death!

"Let's go back quickly!" Wen Yan said with a pale face.

"No, if the hull leaks, hiding inside will only make us die faster!" Ren Hao gritted his teeth and his face became even gloomier.

At this moment, a cracking sound was heard, and accompanied by a strong wind, the main mast of the ship suddenly broke, and amid everyone's exclamations, it directly pulled the hull to the left!

"It's broken!!!" Ren Hao's face changed drastically. He pulled Wen Yan and Shan Yue out of the cabin, ran down with all his might, and grabbed the other side of the ship!

The hull capsized directly!

Falling sideways, countless screams were heard.

Accompanied by a loud rumbling sound, Ren Hao and the other two fell into the icy sea.

Ren Hao held on to the side of the boat tightly with one hand, and held on to Wen Yan and Shan Yue's clothes with the other hand.

puff!

The three of them sank into the sea. Ren Hao grabbed the boat's side and was then brought out by the rebounding force.

In the darkness, the scene ahead could not be seen clearly, and Ren Hao struggled to pull Wen Yan and Shan Yue onto the overturned hull.

Ren Hao gritted his teeth and pulled the two of them up. In order to prevent them from getting lost, Ren Hao untied his belt and tied Wen Yan's and Shan Yue's waists together.

"Ren...Ren Hao..." Wen Yan exclaimed in the dark.

"Brother...sister..." Shan Yue wiped her tears, the fear in her eyes was beyond words.

"Listen to me, this boat is about to sink. I will find a piece of wood later. Remember, you must hold on to the wood and never let go!" Ren Hao shouted loudly.

The more critical the situation, the calmer Ren Hao became.

The hull will slowly sink into the sea, and only by holding on to the wooden planks will there be a chance of survival.

Ren Hao groped around and soon touched a piece of wood that was loosened by the sea water.

Ren Hao grabbed the wooden board and kicked it hard with his foot. The sharp edge of the board cut his thigh into a bloody mess, but Ren Hao didn't care at all. He kicked it hard again and finally pulled the board off.

Feeling the hull moving further and further downward, Ren Hao placed the wooden board in front of him and asked the two women to hold on to it tightly. Then he took a deep breath and waited for his body to slowly sink into the sea.

Soon, the hull sank completely. Ren Hao grabbed the middle of the wooden board, and the two women grabbed the sides.

"Hold on! Don't let go!" Ren Hao roared.

Amid the storm, responses came from Wen Yan and Shan Yue.
