For a few days at the end of July, it was a good day for sailing, the sky was as blue as jewels, and the seabirds were thin and long, but their wings were very broad, or they were solitary, or they were in flocks of three or five, and they could fly all the way to the clouds. The clouds are all snow-white, and the snow waves above the blue sea are far away, and the sea breeze is warm, salty, and light, and the white waves are only an inch high.

The sun is a little hot, and after the cruise ship equipped with the latest internal combustion engine enters the inland sea of the East China Sea, the speed of the ship is released, and the pointer can turn to 32 knots at the highest time.

Little Peach sent a telegram back according to the instructions of the eldest lady, all of them were greetings and peace, and they were all in a fixed format. After the two of Ziyan got acquainted, they simply didn't care, and said that they wanted to go to the deck to breathe, but after a while, they came back with a smile.

She leaned near a brass ice basin, fanned her face with a small handkerchief, and grumbled:

"Oh, the sun is big on this sea, and it can turn people into salted fish in a few minutes."

Zhang Meixi smiled:

"Dried salted fish is not good, but it will tan your skin, you have to be careful, try not to go out during the day."

Little Peach sighed:

"Hey, that's really good to be a man, I don't care if it's black or not, the third young master is fishing on the deck!"

Zhang Meixi's eyes widened in surprise, and she said with a smile:

"Then he will be disappointed, such a fast speed, and on the most lively waterway, it is unlikely that there will be any gains."

Their steamships took the most mature sea routes, which were reclaimed hundreds of years ago, Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, Zheng Chenggong reclaimed Taiwan, East Asia and South Asia trade, small ships of a few tons, huge ships of several thousand tons. The round-trip traffic is this sea route, and if you put it on land, it is like a busy sixteen-lane road. Catching fish on such a sea route is almost the same as hunting rabbits on a busy road. It's not completely none, it's just that the probability is particularly low.

On Wednesday, the young master really didn't gain anything, and it took an hour to walk back to the cabin to drink water, his face had been tanned to a black and red color, and his head was getting thicker and rounder, with his tall physique, how did he look like a bear that was growing bigger and bigger.

After drinking the water, chatting with Zhang Meixi for a few words, I was going out again. Zhang Meixi stopped him and said:

"You just stay here, if you want to play, wait until it's darker before you go out."

The young master waved his hand on Wednesday:

"It's not good when it's dark, I go out to learn the flag language with them, and I can see a boat in a few minutes, and I can use it when I learn it."

They hung a big flag of peace on their ship, the style is very simple, the bottom is pure white, and the simple Chinese character "Ping'an" is written on it, which is this flag that was hastily designed, and even insults the word "design", which has been blooming everywhere on five continents and four oceans in recent years, and where there are human beings, it will be accompanied by some stubborn diseases, and the trademark of this flag is a symbol of salvation and hope.

Unlike piracy a hundred years ago, the world pattern after World War I was basically fixed, and the Western and Eastern countries that flaunted that they had entered the civilized world signed a unified maritime convention, agreed on the language of ships, and had the obligation to help each other in certain disaster situations.

Of course, with the development of navigation technology, there are fewer and fewer accidents in sea accidents. More than ten years ago, the Titanic was shipwrecked, and the ship still used a coal-fired steam engine.

Now on the sea route, the number of internal combustion engine ships has also begun to increase, and the most encountered situation is that if the ship walking on the opposite side is a good impression or acquaintance, it will say hello with a flag, just like gentlemen in a civilized society, when they meet each other, they will take off their hats. On this busy sea route, there are many ships from all over the world. Flying the banner of different companies and different forces belonging to different countries.

Every ship has a partner who looks pleasing to the eye, and there are also enemies who roll their eyes when they see it, and more people who meet and don't know each other.

Zhang Meixi saw that the young master was very happy on Wednesday, and she didn't want to ruin his interest, so she smiled and said yes. On Wednesday, the young master went out in high spirits. The smile on Zhang Meixi's face gradually disappeared, and she read in silence.

The summer days were very long, and by seven o'clock, the sky was still bright, but fortunately, the pesky sun finally stopped breathing fire, and hid in the western sky, turning into a large red basin, and the sea water in the distance was also reflected in golden red.

Zhang Meixi took Peaches out of the deck to breathe, and saw that Young Master Sun's steamer on the Sun Overseer's Mansion was biting tightly behind, and the two boats were less than 100 meters apart.

Young Master Sun wore a military uniform, the boat moved quickly, rowing two white breaking waves, and he stood very steadily at the bow of the boat, like a statue. The statue Young Master Sun's eyesight is very good, and he actually noticed Zhang Meixi's sight in the distance, and gave her a military salute.

Zhang Meixi nodded and shook her head again. It's just that there is one bad thing, there are more and more rules, and they are becoming more and more rigid. It will lose the grandmaster bearing of the first generation. She turned to Young Master Wednesday and said:

"Go and invite Young Master Sun here."

On Wednesday, the young master walked to the stern of the boat very happily and communicated in the flag language that he had already learned. Half an hour later, the two boats slowed down synchronously.

Young Master Sun took a speedboat and boarded a safe boat, without a single guard. On Wednesday, the young master led him to Zhang Meixi's cabin.

It is a large hall lit with bright incandescent lamps and a carpet of solid colors. A beautiful maid in a blue and white chiffon shirt and long skirt on a white background knelt on the carpet to make tea, and a few steps later, another maid of the same beauty and dress was stirring the ice cubes in the copper basin.

Zhang Meixi sat on a large cloth sofa, and there were two maids standing behind her, and the five women in the whole room, whether they were masters or servants, were all dressed the same.

Seeing Young Master Sun come in, Zhang Meixi got up and saluted slightly:

"Young Master Sun, it's neglected. You may be seated. ”

Young Master Sun gave a military salute, sat down, and said a very long discussion:

"You are safe and qualified to snub others, I read the flag slogan for an afternoon, and it means very respectful!"

Zhang Meixi's face was already indifferent with a light smile, and even her eyebrows like smoke and clouds frowned:

"This is China's inland sea, and all the ships come and go from foreign countries, do you think it is a gentleman to do a few boat salutes? A robber who breaks into someone else's private house at will, as long as he salutes, is he not considered a robber? ”

One day, the illusion of etiquette suddenly faded, and the boat of friendship capsized immediately, and the most important thing about the ship was balance, as long as one party's heart was unbalanced, it was overturned.

Zhang Meixi, who came from later generations with a strong sense of sea power, is of course unbalanced.
