Chapter 20 Windless Zones
Chen Yan pushed the wine glass in front of Old John and said, "Tell me in detail, I'm very interested." ”
"My son is a child of the sea, and if the god of the sea doesn't accept him, how can he die?" old John raised his glass and drank it all, he wiped his mouth, and said, "Oriental, hire me." I taught everything about John. He's gone, and now I'm the strongest boatman here. ”
Chen Yan's fingers tapped on the table, his eyes narrowed, and he said lightly: "There is no evidence, how can I trust you?"
Old John smiled, and he said something inexplicable: "If you don't want to die, don't go to sea tomorrow"
"Thank you for your hospitality, Oriental. ”
With that, he put on his thick-brimmed hat, opened the door and went out.
Hai Yin behind him scolded: "This period is the windless season of the sea god's gift. Don't be fooled by him, this gentleman, he's just an old man who pretends to be a ghost. ”
Chen Yan nodded in disbelief and left immediately.
The next morning, the sun hung high in the sky.
The three of them walked out of the hotel, and when he saw that Chen Yan was a little worried, he asked with a smile, "Chen, why are you so preoccupied?"
"Nothing. Chen Yan looked at the clear sky and shook his head.
Chris said as he walked, "I know you're worried about sailing, but you have to be careful when choosing a boatman. If we don't find the windless belt before the storm, we're done. ”
Chen Yan naturally knew this kind of thing, he nodded, and said, "I know you have the right person, let it go, but I have a request." ”
Chris was stunned: "You say." ”
"I'll leave tomorrow. ”
"Tomorrow"
Chris and Dou Qingxiao both looked at him with puzzled eyes: "Why"
"It's just an intuition, don't others compare the ocean to a woman, in addition to giving birth to all things, its moodiness is also a thing that people hate and love. ”
Chris nodded.
The small fishing village is actually not small. It's just that the number of people is too scarce compared to the vast land. The three hired a vehicle and followed Chris's guidance to begin the process of finding the boatman.
Finding a boatman who satisfies all three of them is not a satisfying thing.
Chen Yan's heart is always looking towards the old John he met last night, so no matter who he sees, he looks absent-minded. Dou Qingxiao wanted to consider Chen Yan's safety, and he didn't want to meet those who were stained with blood and had cruel eyes.
Just kidding, although she is powerful, she is not invincible. If this boatman had the intention of killing the goods, and joined forces with the others to stop them at sea, it would be called the heavens and the earth.
Chris looked for more than a dozen boatmen in a row, but Dou Qingxiao voted no. The face of this good old man turned so blue that he didn't even talk to the latter.
After a busy morning, the three of them went back to the hotel to eat, and after eating, they returned to their respective rooms.
Chen Yan was lying on the bed and didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he suddenly heard a dull thunder god.
thunderclap
Chen Yan turned his head and saw that the sky that had been clear before was suddenly covered by dark clouds, countless electric snakes were wandering in the clouds, and a storm was also set off on the seashore in the distance. With goosebumps running up at the back of his neck, he sat up sharply.
It's cloudy, it's really cloudy
Bang bang bang
Chen Yan walked downstairs and saw that Old John was still cowering in the original corner, so he walked straight over.
bang
He slapped a gold bar on the table and said lightly: "Take it, this is a deposit for you." ”
Old John shook his head and smiled with a mouthful of yellow teeth: "I just need a boat." ”
"How much does your best boat here cost?" Chen Yan asked.
Old John said a number.
Chen Yan smiled slightly, and he asked, "How many do you want?"
"When can I go"
Old John said, "Tonight, the rain will stop and leave." ”
......
So without the knowledge of Chris and Dou Qingxiao, the boatman of the three was chosen. Because the time was very tight, the three had to brave the rain to come out to buy boats.
"Chen, where did you get the weird old man" Chris's voice was full of complaints, "I said John was great, not that his father was great." Is it really good to have such a child's play, niece, you can also say a few words. ”
Dou Qingxiao nodded and said, "I think this old man is very good, skinny, and safe." ”
Chris: "......"
He said frantically, "Do you know what we're up against?"
Chen Yan smiled and patted Chris's shoulder: "My friend, please trust my vision." ”
A few hours later, a brand new fishing boat docked in the harbor.
Old John hunched over and patted the engine, and said with satisfaction: "Seven kilowatts of power is good, it's a good boat." ”
Chris said angrily: "Can it be bad that there is only one ship in the three shipyards, and we have to triple the price to buy it." ”
Dou Qingxiao said coldly: "I hope you don't live up to our trust." ”
Old John laughed, he untied a wine jug from his arms, poured a lot into his mouth, and then wiped his mouth, and said, "Set sail"
Chen Yan and the three of them walked on the boat, and saw that Old John was busy in the main control room, and after ten minutes of work, the fishing boat let out a roar and sailed away from the port.
When they chose to go to sea, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the wind was howling in the distance, and the people who listened were terrified.
Chris couldn't help but look back at the port and yelled, "Hey, are you sure it's a good day to go to sea now?"
Old John poured a sip of wine into his mouth and laughed strangely: "Dear bosses, believe me, there is no better day to go to sea than after the rain." ”
Chris's voice suddenly sharpened: "How do I feel that we are getting closer and closer to that storm"
"Hold on" Old John put the wine bottle on the table, took a deep breath, and stepped on the accelerator heavily.
With a shrill roar, the fishing boat sprang into full speed and rushed towards the storm.
Amid Chris's incessant cursing, the fishing boat faltered like leaves fluttering in a storm. It looked like it was about to be overturned by a wave, but under the superb control of Old John, the fishing boat drove into the storm without danger.
It was as if a line had been crossed, and the noisy wind and thunder all disappeared in an instant.
Old John leaned over to pick up the bottle, he opened the door, looked at the crooked three, and smiled.
"Everyone, welcome to the windless zone. ”
