Prologue 5 Return to your hometown

Zhang Jizu didn't expect that his good intentions had attracted so many misunderstandings one after another, and he knew that he shouldn't care about this idle matter, but Zhang Jizu would never be serious with a weak woman, so he shook his head, sighed, and left Zhao Shengnan's room without saying anything, and gently closed the door with his hand.

Seeing Zhang Jizu coming out of room 006, the first mate Mike hurriedly ran over and asked eagerly: "My friend, we all heard the fierce quarrel between you and that young lady, but we can't understand your language, is there something unpleasant?" ”

"This? Nothing, tell the captain that everything is over, and that young lady will not trouble you again. Zhang Jizu said as if he was a little tired.

"Ahh My friend, what did you do to ......?" Mike wanted to ask.

Zhang Jizu didn't stop for a step, walked straight back to his room, and then said, "I'm tired and need to rest." Then he slammed the door shut.

Mike was a little overwhelmed by the scene in front of him, and turned to look at Phillips, but found that the captain, who was still standing at the end of the corridor just now, had disappeared at some point, and Mike had to shrug his shoulders and leave. But since then, the rough young female passenger has not been in trouble again, and every day is quiet, except for the occasional sun on the deck and the sea breeze, most of the time seems to be spent in the cabin. And David Zhang actually returned to normal after a night, how could he let this time on the ship be wasted, wandering among all kinds of passengers every day, and mingling with the sailors on the ship, usually where David Zhang went, there would be bursts of laughter, and people gradually stopped hating this young Chinese man who was a little funny at first, except for two people, one was the captain Phillips, and the other was of course Zhao Shengnan, the daughter of the Zhao family.

The days that followed seemed to be peaceful, and the Triumph's voyage went smoothly, until about a month and a half later, the Triumph sailed into the China Sea, and Captain Phillips's brow finally relaxed, seeing that the destination of this ocean voyage was about to be reached.

"Ahh There is a smell of home in the sea breeze here. A voice sounded behind Phillips, and Phillips looked back to see that it was the young Chinese named David Zhang, who was breathing deeply in the sea air and seemed to enjoy the sea breeze.

"Is there something unique about the sea breeze here?" Phillips said to himself.

Zhang Jizu also noticed the captain, so he put away his exaggerated movements, walked to Phillips with a smile, and then said: "Dear captain, seeing that I am about to return to my hometown, thank you very much for your care along the way, I really hope that we will meet again in the future." Zhang Jizu's attitude is very sincere and polite.

Phillips turned to look at Zhang Jizu, although his inherent thinking made him have an inexplicable resistance to the Oriental, and he used to dislike the young Chinese in front of him, but over this period of time, he has slowly changed his attitude subtly, it seems that this David Zhang is not as he imagined, but so what? His voyage was only on business, and as long as the Triumph arrived safely at the port of destination, his mission would be successfully accomplished, and as for what David Chang said about expectations, it should be just a polite gesture. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Phillips's mouth, and he opened his mouth and said: "Thank you for your words of praise to the contemptible people and all the crew of the Triumph, it is our unshirkable duty to serve every passenger, and I wish you a happy journey again." Phillips's words did not carry any personal feelings, just said a few official articles, but how did he know, maybe it was Zhang Jizu's unintentional words, or it was a creation to make people, he and Zhang Jizu, China's fate did not end here, in a later shocking case, he was involved, including the Triumph, and then it will be David Zhang who will help him out of the siege and get out of trouble, but this is all later.

On this afternoon, the Triumph finally sailed into the Chinese port of Shanghai, which is located on the front edge of the Yangtze River Delta and has been an important port for China's foreign traffic and trade since ancient times. As early as the Tang Tianbao period in 746 AD, the Tang Dynasty government set up a town to control the river and the sea, and developed the port. After the Opium War in 1840, Britain forced the Qing government to sign the Treaty of Nanjing, and the port of Shanghai was forced to open to the outside world. After the 70s of the 19th century, the port of Shanghai became the shipping center of the country. The banks of the Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek have gradually formed modern industrial clusters. In the early years of the Republic of China, the port of Shanghai had become the shipping center of the Far East, and the port was busy and lively, with all kinds of ships shuttling back and forth or docking at the wharf, which was not inferior to other famous ports in the world.

Zhang Jizu carried a suitcase, wore a light gray suit, and walked down the gangway step by step along the gangway with the flow of people, Zhang Jizu looked left and right, but did not see the master and servant in room 006, "Could it be that they got off the boat early halfway, or are they still staying on the boat?" Zhang Jizu thought, and his feet also stepped on the ground.

"Young Master! Master! A few shouts interrupted Zhang Jizu's thoughts, and it turned out that there was a person in the crowd jumping and waving at him, "Young master, I'm here, here." "It turned out to be the servant of the family, Ali, who is strong and strong, simple, and similar in age to Zhang Jizu, and is an honest countryman.

Ali squeezed through the crowd and came closer, took the suitcase from Zhang Jizu's hand, wiped a handful of sweat and said, "Young master, but I'm waiting for you, I'm afraid I can't wait for you, so I'll be waiting here three or four days in advance." ”

Zhang Jizu patted Ali's sturdy back and said with a smile: "Didn't I send a telegram to my family?" It's clear that the time of coming back is clear, why are you still so dead-eyed? Ali didn't answer, just touched the back of his head and smirked.

"By the way, Ali, do you know what is important for my father to call me back in such a hurry?" Zhang Jizu asked casually, and at the same time he turned his head in the direction of the Triumph, trying to find out if there was any of her, but he still didn't see it.

"Young Master, who are you looking for? If there is nothing else, we had better leave for home immediately, if it is too late, we will be afraid of ......" Ali seemed to be in a hurry, urging Zhang Jizu and said.

"What's wrong? What are you afraid of? Zhang Jizu was also taken aback by Ali's words, and hurriedly turned his head and asked.

Ali replied hesitantly: "The master is seriously ill, just, just, he will die." ”
