Although the containers on board were full of goods and the contents were worth a lot of money, the main task of the Lisha was to go home, to see his wife and children, to see his relatives and friends, and that he had been sailing at sea for three months.

"Captain, after another 50 nautical miles, we are about to enter the Dragon Triangle area. First mate Lu Jiawei hurriedly walked over and reported.

Dongfang Yue nodded, without much response, the old crew member of the Lisha cargo ship boarded the ship much earlier than himself, but Dongfang Yue didn't take this person too seriously, this person seemed to be too superstitious. Every time he went to sea, as his first deputy, the first thing he had to prepare was not all kinds of supplies and cargo placement, but painstakingly procured all kinds of artifacts, cigarettes, alcohol, incense and candles used to sacrifice to the sea; to be honest, Dongfang Yue was very disgusted by this kind of behavior, and he never believed in the things of gods and ghosts.

"Got it, step up manipulation and pay attention to safety. He commanded as a matter of routine.

The first mate, Lu Jiawei, did not leave immediately, but asked, "Please advise, when will the sea sacrifice begin?"

Dongfang Yue frowned slightly, he forcibly held back the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "You can do these things yourself." ”

"You don't participate?" Lu Jiawei was obviously also a little displeased, the captain's failure to participate often means that his heart is not sincere, which may affect the safety of the entire crew for him.

"Be ready to tell me again. Dongfang Yue said impatiently, his patience has reached the limit, this guy is not the first time to engage in these things, the Lisha cargo ship has passed back and forth through the Dragon Delta sea area more than a hundred times, and there has never been any accidents, which actually gave the boss and the first mate the capital to show off, thinking that it was the insistence on sacrificing the sea to bless the safety of the Lisha cargo ship, but this is simply nonsense.

Lu Jiawei finally left after a long time, he was already nearly fifty years old, and he had been begging for a life at sea for dozens of years, even so, he had never held the position of captain, and he didn't say the reason himself, Dongfang Yue had never been able to guess. It should be said that the person who the entire cargo ship respects him the most is this first mate, after all, the first mate is nearly fifty years old, and he is only thirty-five or sixteen, it is not easy for Lu Jiawei to do this, but Dongfang Yue doesn't know why, he can't like this old-timer in front of him.

Looking at the back of Lu Jiawei leaving, Dongfang Yue couldn't help but mutter: "This inexplicable old guy is really annoying." ”

Mu Lian, who had been silent, suddenly put down the six-stringed piano in his hand and expressed his opinion on the affairs of the ship for the first time, and for the first time he expressed his opinion, he actually supported the first mate.

"Personally, Captain, I think there are some things that I would rather believe in than what I don't. After all, the Dragon Triangle is one of the most dangerous seas in the world, and no one knows what is hidden here. More is better than less, everyone is always full of fear of the unknown, and their mood is actually completely understandable...... The sacrifice to the sea is just a psychological suggestion. ”

Dongfang Yue was not too surprised by Mu Lian's tirade, but he did not refute it, he was silent for a long time before saying: "In fact, how many people in the world really know which sea area the Dragon Triangle refers to? Don't look at the huge triangle drawn on the map, in fact, no one can tell where the three vertices of this triangle are, in this case, who can know exactly whether we are heading for the Dragon Triangle." ”

Mu Lian's expression suddenly became a little abnormal, and he said faintly: "In the past few days, several crew members have been unwell, and I haven't found too many abnormalities after checking, but I just told them to stay in bed more; ”

Although one of them is a captain and the other is a doctor, there is not much difference in age, they are contemporaries, most of them have the same ideas, and there is not much difference in status, and working together for more than two years has also made them good friends who can make friends.

Dongfang Yue frowned slightly: "Why do you also persuade me to worship the sea god?you know that I have never been interested in the things that these gods talk about......

"I'm not advising you to sacrifice to the sea, but I'm reminding you that there really seems to be something wrong with this voyage, and you should be especially vigilant. Mu Lian didn't ramble anymore after speaking, he knew the captain's temperament very well, if Dongfang Yue couldn't figure it out, the suggestion was just a suggestion, there was no need to remind him repeatedly, so he quickly picked up the guitar again, played his piano intently, and no longer bothered with idle things.

Two hours have passed, and the sky outside has darkened, according to the speed of the cargo ship at 12-13 knots, it should be close to the edge of the Dragon Triangle mentioned by Lu Jiawei at this time; although Dongfang Yue's mouth is not very good, as the captain, he does not dare to be careless about the safety of navigation.

Dongfang Yue decided to personally go to the various duty parts to inspect it, maybe the time of sailing at sea is too long, and the crew members of each post have some paralyzing carelessness is not known, and in case of bad weather, it may indeed pose some threats to the navigation safety of the cargo ship.

It is seven points of danger to travel on a horse and a boat, which he naturally understands deeply.

He has been living at sea for nearly 20 years, and he has never experienced any winds and waves, although he is cautious and walking on thin ice every time he goes to sea, but he must have the necessary confidence and courage. As for these people under his hands, they don't have much confidence, so they just need to make frequent inspections and supervise well.

He took out a strong flashlight from the bedroom in the suite, and then took off the special life jacket from the coat hook and put it on his body, it is summer, it is okay that there is air conditioning in the room, when he walked out of the door and stepped on the bridge of the boat, although it was already night, he still felt a little hot, Dongfang Yue frowned slightly, so he unbuttoned the life jacket twice, and breathed a little.

The cargo ship shook from side to side suddenly, and he instinctively stretched out his hand to hold on to the railing, the shaking was not big, but it was a little sudden, and it was night, if he didn't pay attention, he might really fall.

"What the hell?" he scolded secretly in his heart, he knew that this was not a normal swing, the ships at sea were all regular, and the shaking just now was either a big wave or a long surge, but Dongfang Yue remembered very well that in the evening, this sea area was still as horizontal as a mirror. Of course, the wind and waves at sea come as they say, which is also normal, so he just felt a little strange and didn't delve into it.

Walking across the bridge, he turned around to see if the officer on duty at the engine part was not in place, and when sailing at sea, there could be no problem with the primary power machine.

As he went, he looked up at the sky, there was no moon today, but there were not too many clouds in the sky, the stars in the sky blinked mischievously, embedded in the bright black canopy, and the extraordinarily bright and brilliant Milky Way nebula ribbon, like a silk across the sky, also appeared scorching.

As he cast his gaze on the dark, phosphorescent waves, the hull suddenly shook again.
