Chapter 349: Sea Overlord
The ship that Han Qiu boarded was the "Star Princess", which belonged to the "Princess". "Princess" is the third largest cruise brand in the world, and its reputation, service, and environment are not bad. At least, Han Qiu, who rarely takes a cruise on vacation, is very satisfied with this place.
After placing their luggage, Han Qiu and Zhou Yuxin came to the top deck, facing the sea breeze and admiring the bustling city of New York. At this moment, it is approaching evening, the sun is setting, and looking at the past from Han Qiu, you can still see the Statue of Liberty.
"Han Qiu, it's so beautiful. Zhou Yuxin said with emotion.
Han Qiu looked over and saw the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the torch of the Statue of Liberty, the book, and the crown of his head, like a layer of orange-red tulle, adding a beauty to the already solemn statue.
"It's beautiful, but Yuxin, you're even more beautiful. Han Qiu laughed and took the opportunity to stamp Zhou Yuxin's side face.
"Don't make a fuss. Zhou Yuxin looked "disgusted": "Han Qiu, let me ask you, what is the book in the hand of Lady Liberty?"
"The Declaration of Independence, a product of the American Revolutionary War. Han Qiu replied without hesitation, "Hehe, fortunately, I liked world history more when I was in high school. ”
"You've passed. ”
Han Qiu didn't give up: "Then I'll ask you too, do you know how many Statues of Liberty there are in the world?"
"Few... How many Statues of Liberty are there?" Zhou Yuxin looked stunned, she had never thought that there were anything else about this thing. "You're talking about imitations, right?"
"It can't be considered an imitation, there are three major Statues of Liberty in the world, and these three are relatively formal, known as the Three Sisters. Han Qiu explained, "This is the original New York statue, and it is also the first goddess statue, which was a gift from France to the United States to celebrate the 100th anniversary of American independence. Paris, France, is the second one, and it is a return gift from the United States to France to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. The third is in the island nation of Tokyo, but ....."
"But what?"
"Because the island people are thick-skinned. Han Qiu was quite speechless, "In the last century, when France was in diplomacy with the island country, the French government dismantled the statue of the goddess in Paris and airlifted it to the island country to display it in order to show friendship. Later, after the French government brought it home, there was an uproar among the islanders, hoping to return the statue of the goddess to the island. ”
"......" Zhou Yuxin was speechless, "What about later?"
"Later, with the consent of the French government, the government of the island country established a hotly discussed 'Statue of Liberty Construction Committee' to be responsible for the construction of the Statue of Liberty. Han Qiu shrugged, also speechless, "Then... This is where the third statue comes from. ”
Zhou Yuxin held her forehead and sighed, "Uh..... It's a bit of a twist and turn..."
Han Qiu nodded: "As for the other goddess statues in the world, they are not as famous as these three divisions. By the way, I heard that the statue of the goddess in France still has a cat on it. ”
"Huh?"
Han Qiushen said mysteriously: "I heard that there is a secret engraved on the torch of the god statue. ”
"What secret?" Zhou Yuxin said curiously, for women, the word secret always has a great attraction.
"A huge treasure! This treasure is hidden in the Declaration of Independence!" Han Qiu's eyes lit up, as if they were shining with gold, "If I get that wealth, what will I do in my life, I will go on vacation with you every day." ”
"Cut~~ The ghost believes you!" Zhou Yuxin became speechless the more he listened, he was quite interested at first, but when he heard it, he changed his taste.
Han Qiu smiled dryly: "Uh.. That's what I've heard, and I don't know if it's true or not. But I've heard that this treasure is buried on the side of President's Hill in the United States..... Alas, don't go, I can make up a treasure hunt story for you...... Well, it's still early, don't you have to eat?.... Wait, I've got a name in mind, it's called "National Treasure", and I promise it's an exciting treasure hunt story....."
........
In the end, Han Qiu still couldn't tell the story of this treasure hunt, because after arriving at the restaurant, his attention had already been attracted by the food, and he still remembered the he had bragged about before.
After dinner, the two went to the deck to digest their food, and then went to the small movie theater on the cruise ship to watch a movie.
It's just that Han Qiu looked careless and yawning from beginning to end, and Zhou Yuxin was also a little depressed. Although this is a thriller, at the end, there are no ghosts, just scary people.
This made Zhou Yuxin a little depressed, after watching the conjuring, watching these "fake ghost" movies is really a bit boring.
After returning to his room, Zhou Yuxin suddenly remembered something and asked, "Han Qiu, didn't you say that you wanted to tell me a story on the boat? After delaying for so long, you can always tell me, right?"
Han Qiu was stunned for a second, then nodded: "Okay, you let me think about it first." ”
Zhou Yuxin: "........ do you still have to think about this? No wonder you didn't say it before, it turned out that you haven't thought about it yet?"
After pondering for a while, a wicked smile gradually appeared on the corner of Han Qiu's mouth, "Yuxin, come, sit next to me, and I'll tell you this story." ”
Zhou Yuxin did not doubt that he had him, and leaned on Han Qiu's side. Han Qiu hugged her waist, lowered her voice, and said sneakily: "This story is a bit scary, you have to be prepared......... The protagonist's name is Jesse, a mother, this afternoon, she came to a port, ready to go to sea with friends, but she seems to be in a bad state, looking confused, as if she has lost her soul......"
......
Han Qiu spoke very slowly, as if time had eased down. I don't know how long it took, maybe half an hour, maybe an hour, maybe time never moved forward, maybe time walked and walked back to the source, as if it was an endless reincarnation...
Suddenly, in Han Qiu's room, there were bursts of low voices, screams, and gasps.
"Ahhh~~ Stop, stop!"
"Han Qiu, don't say it, it's too scary. ”
"Why are there so many corpses on the ship, and they still look exactly the same..."
"Why did Jesse go back to the beginning in the end...."
Han Qiu said, "Uh..... It's useless to stop now, I'm done anyway. ”
"Woo... It's a big night, why are you telling such a horrible story? Zhou Yuxin's face was bitter, almost the same as the frightened expression when watching the conjuring.
"Didn't I watch movies too boring before I met you? ”
Zhou Yuxin chirped: "You big villain! ”
"I didn't mean to do this, this story was also told to me by Ziren's kid. Han Qiu had an idea, and was ready to throw this pot to Wen Ziren, anyway, this product loves to make horror movies.
"Wen Ziren?" Zhou Yuxin said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, it's this kid, and he said that telling this story on a boat is the most atmospheric. Han Qiu looked innocent, as if he was also a victim.
"Then you can't escape responsibility!" Zhou Yuxin stared at Han Qiu with malicious intent, "Tonight, see how I clean you up." ”
"Uh.... Do you have something to say?"
"No way!"
"Okay, who's afraid of whom!" Han Qiu's eyes turned red, he licked his lips, and pounced on Zhou Yuxin like a hungry tiger pounced.
.........
The voyage was two weeks, although at the speed of a modern cruise ship, it would take less than five days to cross the Atlantic to England in the shortest distance between two points.
But since it's a holiday cruise, you'll have to slow down and take a few days off the coast of Europe to enjoy the scenery before stopping in the UK.
On this day, outside the Princess, the waves are not alarmed, the sea and blue sky, the breeze is gentle, and the scenery is beautiful and picturesque.
At this moment, Han Qiu and Zhou Yuxin were sitting in a leisure area drinking tea and enjoying the sea view. In one corner of the hall, there is also a black piano. A man in a suit is playing upbeat music.
Han Qiu touched the scene, and wanted to pour out a voice in his heart. "Yuxin, why don't I tell you another story?"
"Forget it, I don't listen. Zhou Yuxin shook her head decisively, since she heard that horror story of infinite reincarnation that night, she no longer listened to Han Qiu's nonsense.
"It's not a horror story this time, really. Han Qiu's face was serious, and he raised his right hand, "I swear to this cruise ship, if I lie to you, let it sink." ”
Glancing at Han Qiu, Zhou Yuxin took a sip of tea first, and then said in disbelief: "It won't be Wen Ziren who told you again, right?"
"It's all said, it's not a horror story. What else is there for that guy Wen Ziren other than a ghost? This time I'm going to tell you the story of a pianist. ”
"That.... Well, I listen to you. ”
This time, Han Qiu's expression was very calm, and if you looked closely, you would find that there was still a faint sadness on his face. He looked at the white piano and said, "The hero of this story, has a unique name, he 1900. Because it was in this year that he was born, and he was born on a ship..."
.......
Half a morning passed, and it wasn't until noon that Han Qiu finished telling the story unfinished.
This is the story of a lonely pianist.
How lonely is he?
Lonely to the point that he is a person with no identity, a passer-by in this world. Lonely until he died, he never got off the boat or walked on real land.
A lonely soul is finally perished in a lonely sea...
Zhou Yuxin looked at the piano in the corner of the hall in a daze, as if he saw 1900, as if he saw 1900, "He is a genius, a lonely genius." ”
"No, actually 1900 is not alone. Han Qiu sighed, "His mind is filled with music, so he can face death calmly." ”
Zhou Yuxin nodded as if she didn't understand, she needed to digest this story slowly.
........
October 7th.
This is the fifth day that Han Qiu and the others boarded the "Star Princess".
In a few days, the cruise ship will stop at the port in Spain, and tourists will be able to disembark for a while.
In the past few days, Han Qiu has told Zhou Yuxin a lot of stories, except for the first horror story, the rest are of other types. But without exception, every story is wonderful. The main thing is that every story can be related to the ship.
This made Zhou Yuxin have to take it, she really wanted to knock Han Qiu's head open to see what was inside, why there were so many stories.
At this moment, the two got off the boat and wandered through the streets not far from the Spanish port, "Han Qiu, I finally know why you have an endless script to film." ”
Han Qiu replied shamelessly: "Ahem, being a husband is the best tragic sci-fi director Han Banxian!"
"Stinky and shameless. Zhou Yuxin snorted and said, "If you have the ability, you can tell me another story?"
Han Qiu's eyes rolled, looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and said, "Yuxin, Spain was the overlord of the sea in the Middle Ages, so I will tell you a story of the overlord of the sea." ”
