Chapter 2 Goodbye Ancient Ship I

In the early spring morning of March, although the cold of winter has faded, it is still deeply entangled in the thick fog, and the sun gradually rises, and the sunlight slowly sprinkles on the earth, and the dense fog is suddenly dispersed in exchange for warm daylight.

In Yunnan, when Wenzhe Caiyu came back, he passed by a fishing village, and there was an ancient British boat parked on the shore of fishing, and the ancient British boat that still had a strong temperament was stranded in this deserted shallow, and it seemed that it had been a while.

Wen Zhe stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the ancient ship from a distance, and he didn't know why, there was always a force encouraging him to go to the ancient ship. With a single thought, he quickly jumped down the hill, getting closer and closer to the old British ship, and the closer he got it, the more surprised he became.

"There is such a valuable ancient ship in this small mountain village!" Wen Zhe exclaimed.

Standing under the ship, you can clearly see the appearance of the ancient ship, the hull looks more than a hundred years old, but at a glance you can see that the owner of the ship has carefully taken care of it, there is not much moss on the hull, looking up, the deck is very clean, and there is a chair.

Wen Zhe was attracted to the eyeballs and couldn't take his eyes off it.

This old British ship is very magnificent, the deck handrails are oxidized gold, because of the owner's care, you can clearly see that it is gold, and the exterior wall of the bow building is also golden, although a little bit of gold paint has fallen off in the cracks between the wood, revealing the original wood color.

Wen Zhe looked at the sail pole standing tall again, the sail had lost a lot of mold because it had not been used for too long, and only a few pieces of fragments were left fluttering in the wind.

"It must have been made in England, 19th century!" Wen Zhe concluded.

At this time, an old man heard the sound, poked his head out of the deck of the ship, looked down at Wen Zhe, and said with a smile: "Young man, come up!"

The old man pointed to the location of the staircase, which was a wooden staircase that the old man had made for his own convenience.

Wen Zhe walked up step by step, this feels very good, it is an indescribable familiarity, especially when standing on the boat, it may be the fate that people often say, Wen Zhe thought.

"Hello, old uncle!" Wen Zhe greeted politely.

The old man sat on the chair, shook his white beard, and said with a smile, "There have been no strangers in this village for a long time, and now the young people are running out!" sighed the old man.

"Old uncle, I was attracted by this boat when I was picking jade, this boat is really beautiful!" Wen Zhe kept touching the handrail, there was always a feeling of love and sparing his hands, and Wen Zhe didn't know when he fell in love with antique things.

"I've been guarding this ship all my life, and not many people here will appreciate it, so it's rare to meet you, young man!" said the old man with a smile.

Wen Zhe looked at this ancient ship, remembering that his Erqing has always wanted an antique wedding, this boat will definitely be able to give Erqing a surprise wedding, Wen Zhe was very happy when he thought of this, and asked: "Uncle, may I ask if this boat is rented, because my fiancée and I are about to get married, we both like antique, and I have a special feeling for this ship, I think the wedding will be held on the ship, that will definitely give her an unforgettable wedding!"

The old man smiled and said slowly, "Don't rent." ”

When Wen Zhe heard this, he was a little sad and disappointed, but the old man quickly said: "But I want to sell it, this boat, my grandfather has guarded it for a lifetime, my father has guarded it for a lifetime, and I have guarded it for a lifetime, but I am old and can't keep it anymore, are you willing to sell it?!" The old man's words were a little heavy.

"Is this ship worth guarding for so many people for a lifetime?" Wen Zhe asked curiously.

"It's worth it, it's a promise!" said the old man, Wen Zhe wanted to listen to it very much, but the old man was silent again, as if he was thinking about some things in the past.

"But this ship is too expensive, I'm afraid I can't afford it!" Wen Zhe said worriedly.

The old man looked ahead, as if he was keeping a promise from a previous life, and his eyes were far away.

"I just want to find someone destined for it, I have no descendants, and if I die, what will happen to this ship? I have been worried that it will be abandoned!" said the old man.

Wen Zhe was surprised, who died and was still worried about this ship, no matter how valuable it was, why should he remember what happened after his death.

Wen Zhe really likes this boat, walks around with love, and gets its ** stronger and stronger.

In the ship's hull, Wen Zhe found the inscription "Mo 1899" on the side of the ship, and these words smashed into Wen Zhe's head like a stone, making him heavy and sad.

What do these words represent? It was like an imprint engraved in his heart.

"Old uncle, I am interested in buying this ship, how much does it cost?" Wen Zhe asked seriously.

The old uncle stood up and looked at Wen Zhe happily: "Are you really willing to take this ship?"

Wen Zhe nodded seriously and said, "I like it so much." ”

"I've always wanted to find someone destined to take in this ship, I'm also old, my wife has also passed away, it's enough to give me the money I have left for a few years, I don't ask for anything, I just ask you to treat it well!" The old man said seriously, as if he was telling the future and entrusting someone to take care of the children.

Wen Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and was surprised, and said, "Old uncle, don't worry, I will definitely treat it well, but I want to know what kind of story it has that is worthy of you to do this." ”

The old uncle sat down slowly and said, "That is the boat left by my grandfather, my grandfather was the captain of this ship when he was young, this boat originally belonged to a general in the late Qing Dynasty, I heard that this general's family fled to live on an island after being robbed, and this boat is a tool to the island and the city." ”

The old uncle began to tidy up his hookah, ready to immerse his memories in the hookah.

Wen Zhe wanted to hear the story in this, but the old man didn't mean to say it anymore.
