Chapter 19: The Gears Turn to the Sea of Death
"Here is the ferry broadcast, welcome to this ferry. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoOur destination is an international port, the voyage is four and a half hours, please pay attention to safety and cabin hygiene......"
The announcement began in the cabin that the ferry they were taking was from the county port and headed for various neighboring cities. Four and a half hours later, they will leave the county seat and board the Royce Love in a major international port for its maiden show.
Royce Ai's route is a 7-day tour of several famous ports in Asia, including RB South Korea and other developed countries. Visitors can come ashore from the port to take in the exotic scenery and return to the cruise ship in the evening. During the voyage, the tourists' food and accommodation are carried out on the ship, not only can they enjoy many countries, but also enjoy the sunrise and sunset of the sea, across the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and the place where Ma Yiyang disappeared is the confluence of the two oceans.
After starting the boat, Long Tianyan excitedly wandered around in the boat, like a teddy who had been locked up for a long time and released to breathe the wind! Through the guidance of the villagers, I got acquainted with a group of square dance aunts dressed in colorful colors, talked and laughed with them on the boat, and sang the national anthem!
Xiao Ju is the worst at dealing with this kind of scene where there are so many people, and the lion roars of the aunts make his ears ache! In order to prevent him from getting involved, he must stay away from Long Tianyan and find a quiet place to spend these four hours in solitude and comfort.
He searched for a long time, and the last man got into the inner warehouse on the first floor and walked to the deepest part of the cabin. He found a separate room with a VIP sign on it. He tried to twist the handle, but the door didn't loosen. At this time, a staff member came and told him that this was a VIP room, which was used for a fee, and had been chartered by other guests.
He nodded, and under the guidance of the staff, he prepared to leave to find other quiet corners. As he turned around, through the window of the VIP room, he saw a dark-haired woman sleeping on a sofa wrapped in a blanket. Although he could only see the woman's side face, a hint of strangeness rose in his heart, but he couldn't remember anything strange for a while, especially the red gaga watch in her hand.
Long Tianyan finally tossed enough, and found the place where Xiao Ju was "hiding" and began to nap, until the in-cabin radio sounded again, announcing that the international terminal, the passenger terminal, was about to arrive. The staff knocked on the door of the VIP room and asked the passengers inside to get off the boat first. Xiao Ju looked at her from behind, but unfortunately he could only see the back and couldn't recognize who it was, but the sense of strangeness did not diminish at all.
After many twists and turns, they finally managed to board the Royce Love International luxury cruise ship, and the woman in the VIP room also boarded the ship, but she soon disappeared.
Royce Love Cruises is truly extraordinary, with a majestic and solemn shuttle-shaped hull, like a hegemon in the sea, mercilessly cutting a long white line into the sea.
After a long day, it was now close to sunset in the afternoon. The cruise ship's announcements rang non-stop from the moment they boarded, introducing the cruise line, the various luxury facilities of the cruise ship, the route, and the day's activities.
Visitors are invited to register at the bar and then be free to explore and take advantage of the ship's luxurious facilities, but meet on deck before dark to enjoy the stunning sunset over the harbor.
Afterwards, move to the large buffet restaurant for dinner, accompanied by a free cabaret performance. Before the end of dinner, the staff will verify and divide the room according to the information registered by the guest, and the guest can collect the room key at the bar after dinner.
Long Tianyan listened word by word and wrote down the entire process. He looked at his watch, and there was still some time before sunset. The cost of this cruise trip was paid for by him, and he couldn't allow Xiao Ju to waste it by napping, so he forcibly dragged him to swim up and down the cruise ship on the three floors and the outer three floors.
"Wow! That's a big deal...... Swimming pools, casinos, gyms, theaters, and restaurants...... Look at these waiters, the women are beautiful and the men are handsome, all of them have temperament and can speak foreign languages! Great, before arriving at the sea area where Ma Yiyang was wrecked, you can enjoy it. ”
Long Tianyan howled excitedly while visiting, his fingers drew a V on his chin, revealing two rows of teeth of different shades, and winked at Xiao Ju.
He immediately understood his hint and felt a deep headache. Long Tianyan will definitely use all the facilities on this cruise ship, eat and drink to find someone to talk to, and will forcibly take him with him, disturbing his peace.
At sunset, they found a place at the front of the plywood, and unlike the ferry, the tourists on the cruise ship showed their style from dress to temperament. Everyone has found their own position, without you pushing me, not making loud noises, and quietly enjoying the sunset.
The intoxicating sunset is hard to come by, and in the short time when it blooms brilliantly to the end, it will always be cherished. It can be those poignant loves, maybe it is Long Tianyan's deep longing for his son, or Xiao Ju's longing for lost memories.
The melodious violin is endless, everyone wanders in the most hidden places of the soul, the world is left with themselves, they fantasize to the fullest, release joys and sorrows, until there is no more afterglow beyond the horizon.
"Eh, I just saw you in a daze, are you thinking about the major shareholder?"
When it was dark, Long Tianyan grabbed Xiao Ju's pigtail again and teased him happily. Xiao Ju turned around with a bored look on his face, and walked towards the restaurant with his arms crossed:
"I'm thinking I'm starving, the sun is sinking too slowly. ”
A kid with different hearts, Long Tianyan smiled evilly and followed and put his hand on his shoulder, and was ruthlessly thrown away by him. He hitched up again, and no matter how many times he threw it, he hitched it back like a dodgeball, until he didn't resist anymore, and the two walked into the dining room together.
The lighting in the dining room was deliberately dimmed to match the stage in the center, and they served their food and sat down in the corner facing the stage. A host came to the stage, and after a long greeting about the company, the diners only took the introduction as an appetizing background sound, and they all chatted and ate by themselves, and no one was listening attentively.
“…… In order to thank you for your support, all drinks are free for the first three days, and you can drink at the bar with your room card. We will also present a wonderful cultural performance for you at 8 o'clock every night. Next, I would like to invite Mr. Zhu Yunwen, chairman of the cruise ship, to deliver a speech!"
"Zhu Yunwen, I still want Zhu Di!"
The discussion in the audience gradually became louder, and everyone was curious about why he chose this name, and their attention was immediately attracted. Zhu Yunwen appeared from the side of the stage, and the lights of the audience went out, leaving only the spotlight on him.
A beautiful and close-fitting jujube suit, shiny pointed scalp shoes, a Patek Philippe with one hand in a suit pants purse, and a hand holding the microphone half-covered by the sleeve, revealing his aristocratic status in a high-profile manner. His aura is unparalleled, and a few short greetings have deeply defeated the host and attracted the attention of the audience.
"This kid is really tasteful, just like me. ”
Long Tianyan deliberately exposed the Rolex on his right wrist and stretched out his left foot to show off his high-end custom Martin leather boots. That's right, half of his life savings and some legitimate channels are enough to make him above the middle class, but under the light and heat of Zhu Yunwen's meteorite, it looks so bleak and even insignificant that no one in the dark restaurant will notice him far from the spotlight.
"Cheers!"
Zhu Yunwen was full of pressure from the audience, and after the speech, he took the lead in tasting the wine, and the diners in the audience raised their wine glasses one after another to cooperate with him and toast to him.
He stepped off the stage, and instead of turning on the headlights of the restaurant, they were replaced with multicolored bulbs that set off the atmosphere. The actors took turns on stage, singing and dancing pop hits, which caused the audience to cheer. After that, the climax of the performance was repeated, and the most eye-catching thing tonight was the finale of the Qinhuai River singer.
At the end, diners put down their dining tools and returned their attention to the stage. An ingenious mechanism opens at the edge of the stage, revealing four canals connected to form a boxy river, trapping a singer in the center.
The singer's long black hair is half tied and half scattered, the thick and good-looking makeup is half covered by bangs, the red cinnabar is dotted on the center of her eyebrows, and her eyes are hesitant and pitiful.
She held a lute and stroked her red sleeves to create a crisp melody. Babbling, no one could understand what she was singing, only the resentful and ethereal voice was floating on the stage, and the lights on the top were reflected in the canal, as if they were in the Qinhuai River, listening to the wind and snow at night.
"The smoke cage is cold and the moon is long and sandy, the night is close to the restaurant in Qinhuai, the merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the back garden across the river. ”
Probably infected by the atmosphere, some people in the crowd recited Du Mu's "Bo Qinhuai". White smoke blew around the stage, the rapid pipa rose in response, and the dancing girls danced in red and light yarn, which was wonderful!
Everyone was immersed in the stage of Yizhen at this time, and Long Tianyan was no exception. He snorted vigorously, and suddenly there was a brief burst of radio interference behind his head. He was upset that the waitie-talkie was not turned off and was bothering him, when he felt that a person was running past him eagerly, and just tripped over his left foot that he hadn't retracted in order to show off, and fell a big heel!
