Chapter 591, Section 592: Seasickness
Gu Kaiyuan patted his shoulder twice. "It's good to be confident, but you have to know your own limitations. If you're not convinced, we can have a match."

Anyway, he's my own brother-in-law. I'll teach him a lesson, and I don't think my wife will hold it against me.

The two didn't hide the fact that they had challenged each other, and Bai Suihe and the others, having received the news, also came to the deck to watch the excitement.

Looking at the crowd gathered around, Bai Jiannan was speechless. They all came to see him make a fool of himself.

He just wanted to show off his fighting skills, and didn't think he could beat his brother-in-law.

But with so many people watching, he still had to save face, so he hoped his brother-in-law wouldn't let him lose too badly.

After all, deserting at this point would be even more shameful.

Gu Kaiyuan hooked his arm around his shoulder and led him to the middle of the deck. "Kid, are you still going to have a match with me?"

"A real man never goes back on his word."

Immediately afterwards, he whispered in Gu Kaiyuan's ear, "Brother-in-law, give him some face later."

Gu Kaiyuan patted him on the shoulder with amusement, "Not bad, at least you know your own limitations."

"You've seen me practice these past few days, yet you still dare to make such boastful claims."

Bai Jiannan was truly regretful at this moment. He should have known better than to tell his brother-in-law and instead asked his sister. She would definitely have been willing to include him in the fun.

"Alright, let's call it a day and stop here. How about best two out of three?"

Bai Jianlan nodded quickly, "I'll do whatever my brother-in-law says."

When Lin Hua brought the props up, Bai Jiannan was stunned. "Brother-in-law, this is the competition you were talking about?"

A chessboard? Isn't it more like a real, bloody battle?
"This? How can you not know it? You're not even confident about this?"

Bai Suihe saw the chessboard and knew they had all been tricked. She shook her head with amusement, picked up the child, and went straight back to the cabin.

Seeing that there was no excitement to be had, the others dispersed. In such hot weather, playing chess on the deck was not something they wanted to do.

"Brother-in-law, everyone's gone," Bai Jiannan said, looking at the high-hanging sun. Although there was a sea breeze, the sunlight was still quite hot on his skin, and he probably couldn't stand it for long.

"Alright, move everything down," Gu Kaiyuan said to Lin Hua. After the things were moved, Gu Kaiyuan tossed him a machete. "Now we'll see who's the real deal."

Bai Jiannan caught it, then dropped it on the ground in fright, saying, "I give up."

Anyway, he's my brother-in-law, and there are no other outsiders here, so it's not shameful.

Gu Kaiyuan laughed and put his arm around his shoulder to lead him into the cabin, where several ice basins had already been placed, and the heat quickly dissipated. "Don't worry, although you need protection, your brother-in-law will take you to broaden your horizons."

Bai Suihe and Granny Pang were speechless when they heard the commotion. "They're really idle. It seems we need to find them something to do."

Granny Pang chuckled, "That's good, so the days on the ship won't be so unbearable for everyone."

I heard we'll reach the open sea tomorrow, and we can see what the fish look like.

Seeing the vast ocean, Granny Pang felt that her life had been worthwhile. At her advanced age, she could still come out and broaden her horizons. Perhaps she would even discover a new continent, or perhaps some medicinal herbs she didn't recognize. Life was full of hope.

Moreover, the lady had also told her that if they found a suitable new continent, they might settle down there, so that if they did, they would have a way out.

Now that she's older, she's long since lost interest in fighting and killing. If she could retire to a different place, it would be a beautiful end to her life. Relying on the sails and helmsman, the ship's speed on the open sea was certainly not as fast as that of ships from later generations, and the hull was also somewhat rocking. In less than half a day, people like Bai Suihe and the others, who didn't often live at sea, were already seasick and dizzy.

Later, Granny Pang prepared a prescription, and things calmed down.

"Mother, are you alright?" Gu Xingyang asked when she saw that Bai Suihe's face was still so pale, but she had stopped vomiting.

"I feel much better after taking the medicine," Bai Suihe said, still unable to believe she had actually gotten seasick. "Are you alright?"

Gu Xingyang shook her head. "Mother, do you want to go stay in the space?"

Anyway, once the door is closed, who would know what they're doing in the room?
Bai Suihe shook her head, "That's only a temporary solution; I'll have to adapt eventually."

Don't worry, I'll definitely adapt.

The following sentence is telling myself that I must overcome this difficulty.

"Why don't you go in and see if there's any seasickness medicine inside?" Gu Xingyang felt that the traditional Chinese medicine was still too slow, and maybe there were some good things in the medicine box.

Bai Suihe's eyes lit up. Oh right, how could she have forgotten about this?

In the past, after closing the door and taking Gu Xingyang to the space, he would start rummaging through the drawers and cabinets, turning over the medicine box, and actually found motion sickness medicine for her.

After checking the instructions, I saw it was a universal product. I quickly poured myself a glass of water, swallowed it, and rested for a while. Once I felt better, I left the space.

It only took her a moment. She walked over, opened the door, and carried the load onto the deck for some fresh air. Granny Pang came over with a cup of water, her face showing concern. "Madam, are you feeling any better?"

Bai Suihe turned her head with a smile, "Do I look a little better? Don't worry, I'm fine now."

Granny Pang handed over the water, "Would you like another sip?"

Bai Suihe took the drink and drank a few sips. "Granny, you should go and rest too. I'm fine."

With so many people seasick, Granny Pang was busy running around, and her face showed signs of fatigue. Bai Suihe felt a little sorry for her and said, "Leave the other things to the two maids. We'll call you if we need anything."

Granny Pang was indeed a little tired. She took the cup from Bai Suihe's hand and said, "Alright, anyway, those two girls are in good spirits. With them around, I feel more at ease."

Remember, don't hesitate to call me if you need anything.

Bai Suihe reassured her repeatedly before Granny Pang finally left.

Bai Suihe took a deep breath and looked at the boundless sea, her sense of awe growing even stronger.

Standing here, you can truly appreciate the insignificance of human beings, and it seems that nothing else matters.

Perhaps due to the effects of the medicine, Bai Suihe felt less unwell and less dizzy, so she went back to her room to rest.

Gu Kaiyuan received the news, returned to confirm that Bai Suihe was alright, hurriedly gave a few instructions, and then rushed out again. He still needed to carefully plan tonight's operation.

The ship is big, which is good, but it's also too conspicuous, so they have to stay further away from the island and then approach with a smaller boat.

Moreover, the original plan has deviated somewhat. A small portion of the guards that Bai Jiannan brought were seasick, so the already small number of people had to be reduced even further.

Gu Kaiyuan knew that Bai Suihe had taken the medicine from the space, but he didn't intend to take it out, and didn't even mention it in front of Bai Suihe.
