Chapter 82: An Unexpected Discovery
Looking at Gu Xiaole's strange eyes, Ning Lei was a little embarrassed:
"Actually, I actually ran out of the house secretly,
I used the ticket booked as a maid in our house, and deliberately booked the same last-class ticket as you. ”
Ning Lei's explanation made Gu Xiaole even more confused,
It's not appropriate to be a good daughter, so you have to use your own maid to book a ferry ticket, what the hell is this?
Ning Lei knew that Gu Xiaole still didn't understand, but she shook her head:
"Anyway, it's a complicated situation, and I'm just going to explain to you why I didn't board the lifeboat.
As for the rest of the issues, it's all mine, so there's no need to tell you!"
Ning Lei straightened her little neck and didn't intend to answer anymore.
Gu Xiaole blinked his eyes and pondered for a while:
"I said Miss Ning, you're not bragging, are you?
Saying that she is the daughter of a wealthy family, in fact, she is a working boy in the city like me? Just like some forum people, she is a successful fan of people in the United States and just got off the plane?
It's used to bluff people, right?"
"You!" Ning Lei was so angry that this kid's face turned red,
"If you think I am, then I am, right?
It's still the same sentence, the clear ones are clear, anyway, this is a desert island, no matter how much I explain to you, it doesn't make sense!
Believe it or not!"
Seeing that Ning Lei was obviously a little anxious, Gu Xiaole had no choice but to smile slightly:
"Okay, okay, I can't believe it? Actually, what's so good about the eldest lady?
I'm afraid that there is no freedom for people like me all day long, and there are either nannies or drivers everywhere watching,
Even at home, you have to listen to the housekeeper to arrange your work and rest, what time to get up and what time to eat......
Eat when you want! Sleep when you want!
In addition to the poor living conditions, where is it not better than the hundreds of square meters of villas in your home!
Come on, come on, how about a taste of this coconut crab's big pincers?"
Gu Xiaole said as he grabbed one of the big pincers of the big crab with a banana leaf across his hand,
Pull hard, and a large piece of pink and white flesh will be exposed at the broken part of the crab's front claw, and it will be hot and white.
The smell of seafood immediately filled the air.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Ning Lei took the crab,
I didn't care about burning my mouth and took a bite directly on that big meat.
"Well, it's so hot, so tender, so fresh crab meat!"
Although she was a little hot and couldn't close her mouth, Ning Lei still swallowed the large piece of crab meat into her stomach in one go.
"Well, my craftsmanship is no worse than the Michelin-starred restaurants you frequent, right?"
Gu Xiaole also broke off his thigh and sucked the white meat on it directly into his mouth.
"Actually, if you are not the daughter of a rich man, I think it is better, so that we can all get along with you and always feel that you have a special status.
Let's all have to draw some line with you. ”
Gu Xiaole said while chewing the crab meat in his mouth.
"I've already told you, what do you want to think about my identity, that's all your business, I don't care.
But I can only tell me that I, Ning Lei, absolutely disdain to deceive others on my identity!
Also, I hope you don't tell the Lin sisters what I told you today. ”
As she spoke, Ning Lei had already eliminated a large pincer,
This time, without waiting for Gu Xiaole to help, he grabbed the crab through the leaves of the plantain and unloaded a thigh and gnawed it.
"Whatever you want, my eldest lady. Gu Xiaole felt a little less hungry after eating two crab legs in a row, so he stood up and looked into the distance in the direction of the beach.
"Huh?"
Due to the reflection of the sun, Gu Xiaole had to cover his forehead with his hands and carefully look at the sea level in the distance.
"What do you see?" Ning Lei asked softly after eating four crab thighs in a row.
"Do you see there's something near the reef on my left hand side at 12 o'clock at sea level?"
"Something?" Ning Lei looked in the direction of Gu Xiaole's finger, and sure enough, on the sea level of a reef, there seemed to be a silvery-white thing similar to a ship parked in the water.
"Well, is that a ship? Great! Aren't we saved!"
Ning Lei cheered happily,
However, the look on Gu Xiaole's face on the side was still relatively dignified.
In fact, he could tell from the beginning that it was a ship, but it seemed that the ship had been parked there for a long time.
Although it is not easy to see, the paint on the hull has almost peeled off, and the hull is exposed with rust from the erosion of the sea.
Can a ship that has been parked there for so long get them out?
Gu Xiaole didn't believe it, but no matter what, this was a major discovery.
Gu Xiaole beckoned to the little monkey who was still eating crabs on the beach:
"Let's go gold, let's go see the ship!"
So the two of them and the monkey finished their short meal and began to go to the place where the boat was parked.
The two of them didn't go far, and Ning Lei began to feel that something was wrong.
She asked, a little worriedly:
"Gu Xiaole, do you say that this ship can be sent by the rescue team to save us?"
Gu Xiaole smiled:
"My eldest lady, you are a little too idealistic,
You see that this ship is so rusty that you can't tell what color the surface of the original hull is, at least it will be parked here for a few years or even more than ten years.
Do you think it's going to be a rescue boat?"
While talking, the two of them and a monkey had already walked to the beach less than 50 meters away from the parked boat.
At this time, both of them had seen clearly, the ship seemed to be stuck between two reefs,
Although it was constantly swaying back and forth under the wash of the waves, it was never able to escape the confinement from the reef below.
"Gu Xiaole, I, why am I a little scared?"
As she got closer and closer, Ning Lei hid behind Gu Xiaole a little timidly, and she had long lost the excitement she had when she first discovered the ship.
Gu Xiaole didn't speak, but the expression on his face was also quite nervous.
He could see that the ship was not too big, and the estimated displacement was less than 10 tons.
And it looks like the various furnishings and equipment on it are relatively old, and it seems to be a product of the fifties and sixties of the last century.
"Could it be that this ship was shipwrecked here sixty or seventy years ago?"
Gu Xiaole muttered to himself.
"The ship that was wrecked sixty or seventy years ago?
Have they been saved?" asked Ning Lei timidly.
"If the people on the boat were saved, would they still leave this boat here alone?" Gu Xiaole glanced back at her.
"Then, where are they now?" I don't know why Ning Lei suddenly remembered an ancient legend that circulated on the sea-ghost ship!
In this legend, a cruise ship suddenly encountered a situation, and then all the tourists and sailors on board were killed.
And this unmanned ship actually continued to sail on the sea.
From time to time, other ships find out that this ghost ship has come out of nowhere,
And from a distance, the luxurious cruise ship is still singing and dancing, a prosperous scene.
However, every time another ship tries to approach the ghost ship, the ghost ship mysteriously disappears again.
And according to rumors, some sailors have boarded such ships, but the ships are already in ruins, and there is no sign of any living people.
If these sailors do not disembark in time, they will disappear along with the ghost ship.
Looking at the wonderful expression on Ning Lei's face that was red for a while and white for a while,
Gu Xiaole asked strangely, "Miss Ning, what are you thinking?"
"I, I was wondering if this ship couldn't be a ghost ship, right?" Ning Lei replied with a wincing.
"Cut! There are ghost ships, ghost ships are big ships, and besides, ghost ships are all haunted at sea, how can they be stranded on desert islands and reefs. ”
Gu Xiaole said disdainfully.
"Then, are all the people on this boat dead?" Ning Lei asked with some trepidation.
"I don't know, but I look at the hull of this ship that hasn't moved for at least forty or fifty years.
In other words, even if the sailors at that time were only 20 years old, they should be old people now.
If they hadn't been rescued, they would have died on this desert island. Hey, why are you thinking so much? Let's go up and have a look!"
Although he said that, Gu Xiaole was also a little numb by Ning Lei's words,
But after all, he is their captain, how can this glorious and great image drop the chain at this time?
So Gu Xiaole pulled up his trouser legs, got into the water, and walked towards the small boat stranded between the reefs.
Although Ning Lei was scared in her heart, she had the heart not to follow him.
But she was alone on the shore, and she was curious about what was on the ship.
So he had no choice but to follow Gu Xiaole with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and approached the old ship......
