Chapter 226 Dongpo Travels 1.0
A few days after Zhuge Liang returned to the Splendid Kingdom, Su Shi and a group of literati and artists finally boarded the ship to return to China. Since the help of the Black Coat Society in terms of relevant documents, Su Shi and the others have become bold in their activities. No one would be overly suspicious of a group of well-documented tourists anyway.
Standing in front of the deck of the passenger ship, Su Shi enjoyed the oncoming sea breeze. His hands stretched out flat, letting the sea breeze beat against his chest. The only thing that seems to be missing is the absence of a beautiful woman in his arms, which makes it difficult for him to imitate the classic scene in the Titanic.
However, after some ideological struggle, Su Shi still guarded the unhappiness. After all, the ship sank into the depths of the sea, and most of the people inside perished. Su Shi didn't think simulating that scene on this boat was a good sign. He also thought that he wanted to have a good time in the sea, at least to enjoy the scenery by the sea.
When he was demoted to HN in his last life, Su Shi had an inseparable yearning for the sea. Growing up in the heart of the SC Plain, he didn't have many opportunities to see the majesty of the sea, which became the regret of his life. He also used to imagine what was in the depths of the sea, whether it was the legendary sea monster, or the strange tribes, customs, and wild beasts scattered in the depths of the sea, as described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
And now, with this experience of taking a boat, he must have another feeling that he has never had in his previous life. I heard that four hundred years after his death, there was a guy in the West called Napoleon, uh, no, it was Magellan, who woke up around the earth. He must have seen something extraordinary. It may be different from what I imagined, or it may be far beyond what I imagined, but it seems very reasonable.
Li Bai stood beside him, listening to the symphony played by seagulls from the depths of the blue sea, and wanted to be able to see the end of the sea as soon as possible. He has similar aesthetic tastes to Su Shi. It's just that the latter prefers to incorporate the principles of life into the psalms. It seems that there is more emotion.
It's a pity that if the two of them knew which direction at the end of the sea, thousands of Gentoo penguins were landing on the island to lay eggs, and they didn't know what the expression on their faces would be. It was indeed the scene they imagined in Chaohu, but it was also reasonable.
Suddenly, a column of water shot out from the water not far away, startling Su Shi and the others who were standing at the bow of the boat took a few steps back. Fortunately, all the slots on this ship have been taken by the reborn, and they don't have to worry about other passengers laughing at them. There were just a few kind crew members reminding them not to get too close to the side of the ship and to be careful of falling into the sea after a violent jolt.
After thanking the kind crew member, Su Shi and Li Bai helped each other to the side of the ship. They didn't look like anything too complicated in their minds, they just wanted to know what this thing was in front of them.
"That's probably a whale I've seen in books." said to Su Shi who was not sure.
"I think so." Su Shi nodded and said. After being reborn, they spent a long time learning about the world that modern humans have discovered. Naturally, it is impossible to be ignorant of the thing in front of you.
"That's not a whale." At this time, the old captain, who heard them talking, and was not very worried about their safety, came over, pointed to something that had gradually surfaced, and said, "It's just a dolphin." Even an adult individual will only be one or two meters long. Although they are whales, I guess what you want to talk about are the big guys. You've probably never seen it before, otherwise you wouldn't have made such a fuss about a dolphin. ”
"It turned out to be a small whale." Su Shi's breadth of knowledge at sea will certainly not be higher than the old captain in front of him. Regarding this gap, Su Shi and Li Bai faced it very calmly. After hearing the old captain's introduction, the two of them immediately understood that the thing in front of them was nothing more than a dolphin.
At this moment, the first mate of the ship suddenly ran over and whispered something next to the old captain's ear. In an instant, the old captain's face became extremely difficult to look at, and Su Shi and Li Bai glanced at each other in unison. They know that something bad may have happened.
At this time, I heard the old captain's dull question: "How far away is it?" ”
"Thirty nautical miles." Sharply replied immediately.
"Catch up and save the whale."
"But we're just a passenger ship. And passengers may be reluctant either. ”
Su Shi heard them mention the passenger door on this boat, and thought to himself that these people were all pulled onto the boat, and if something happened, he would have no way to explain when he went back. Immediately asked, "What happened?" ”
The captain saw that he opened his mouth to inquire in detail, and knew that his plan would be a little too much to say if he started to implement it without informing the passengers on board.
"Do you know about whaling ships?"
Hearing the old captain's words, Su Shi glanced at him with some confusion, and finally asked with the same confirmation: "Could it be that there is a whaling ship near us?" ”
At this time, the first mate who had just spoken interjected and explained, "It's a whaling ship from the Wa Kingdom. They have been around the area for a long time, and recently they just eyed a rare sperm whale. ”
"To get the spices from the whales?" Su Shi knew that sperm whales had a wide range of lives, and he also knew what humans usually did not kill such whales. But he guessed wrong.
"That's just a small part of the reason, the Japanese usually hunt whales for meat."
The old captain was even more indignant at this time, and he pointed in the direction of the whaling ship of the Japanese kingdom and scolded loudly: "If you don't see a little blood one day, you will feel uncomfortable." It's the 21st century, and I don't believe they still have enough to eat. The Hokkaido Fishing Ground is one of the four largest fishing grounds in the world. How could this group of people be starved. These people are just taking pleasure in killing! ”
When Su Shi heard this, he suddenly remembered a certain massacre that he had heard about on many occasions after being reborn. Linked to the old captain's words, his anger suddenly rose to the top.
"Go and call Zai Yuan Yeping. I want to ask him if the so-called way of survival is to let others die, or to accept slavery? ”
A moment later, the old captain saw a man who was not tall being brought to Su Shi. Su Shi's angry palm had already slapped over at an unbelievable speed.
