The initial excitement of setting sail had faded, replaced now with repeated thoughts of the letter he had written.

by Salted Fish — "Brother Jiu, the autumn moon hangs high, illuminating thousands of miles, and at nightfall, stars fill the sky. Mid-autumn has passed, with the wind propelling our sails across vast horizons, broadening my view and expanding my heart. We've been out at sea for several days now. On board, besides enjoying the scenery, we fish or play mahjong with my two cousins." "I caught some big yellow croakers, but out here at sea, I'm tired of eating raw fish, drunken shrimp, and crab. However, we brought plenty of…

by Salted Fish — Ji Sinong said, "Esteemed brothers, both of you are dragons and phoenixes among men, you should aspire to lofty ambitions.
