1149, retaining guests

- Although there are more than 100 full-time crew members on each giant ship, the manpower is not all covered for brute force jobs.

However, the "Northern Night Star", which can be sent far away by the sea breeze, can bring the desire of everyone present at this time to contribute to the merchant ship.

- After the event, Mo Ye had the opportunity to ask Ye Nuonuo carefully, and learned that the meaning of this origami represents a kind of star.

These stars appear in the northern sky every day at nightfall. It doesn't seem to twinkle like other stars; It is almost the brightest star in the night sky except for the moon; It never moves the slightest position, and is able to give direction to many people who walk at night; It is also the auspicious fortune of the maritime fleet, and on the sea, without any directional reference, it is like a loyal companion, always on the left side of the fleet and on the right side of the fleet when it returns.

Mo Ye watched the colorful "Northern Night Star" float out from the viewing platform, all flying towards the sky. She wanted to imagine it as falling flowers, but these pieces of paper, which carried the blessings of ordinary people, although the color reflected was almost the beauty of petals, did not have the slightest decline of falling flowers, because they did not fall off their hands, but rode straight up with the wind, like a living soul.

In such a small splendor, the giant ship gradually turned its head and tail completely. When it "turned around", for a moment, one end of the tall end of the ship was relatively close to the coast, and while the hull of the ship was turning, the part of the hull that was submerged under the water stirred up huge waves, and some of them slapped on the shore, and shot down some of the Northern Nightstar that flew a little lower, but there was still a little Northern Nightstar with a body made of light paper, brushing the top of the water and floating to the boat.

In the stands. Someone cheered!

It was impossible to tell who threw the Northern Night Star as it flew through the waves, but as soon as one person began to cheer, it would soon be echoed by the voices of many others.

Mo Ye finally got really excited.

The people on the observation platform only threw out such a small piece of paper, but in an instant, they formed a sea of 'stars'. Everyone gathered together today to form such a sea of people, and each of them let out a roar. That is, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore is overshadowed. Even the roaring "thunder" on the sacrificial roof seemed to be compelled to be inferior - such mass actions all came from the country of Nanzhao.

At least at this moment, the people of Nanzhao have forgotten their identity, family background, mental troubles, and pressure in life...... All of them. It's just a citizen who wears the Order of Nanzhao, and he has become an equal member of this big group!

And he is also a national of Nanzhao!

There is no need for words to guide, no need to be driven by profit. This feeling of resonance from the heart is the most effective way to speed up the blood flow. I want to sweat and raise my arms and shout!

As soon as Mo Ye was excited, his hands became tighter and tighter, and when all the ships turned around one after another, they left the harbor where they had docked at the beginning. Slowly and smoothly sailing towards the far boundary of the sea, Mo Ye realized that the "Northern Night Star" in his hand had not been thrown!

However, just as she was about to raise her hand to make up for a few. She suddenly felt that in the crowd around her, that kind of passionate atmosphere had declined for some reason.

Mo Ye calmed down slightly. I saw that most people's eyes were fixed on one direction. Puzzled, she looked in this direction, and saw a huge ship parked in the harbor, which was exceptionally empty because all the merchant ships had left. Looking at its sail flag, it should belong to the same group of ships as the first step.

Mo Ye couldn't help but be stunned.

On the observation deck, the cheers that were similar to cheers before gradually subsided, and the sound of whispering gradually diffused. The voices of different arguments are mixed together, and no one dares to raise their voices alone, so this kind of speech composed of deep whispers is like a swarm of flies buzzing, although it is not clear but it can be deafening.

Since he couldn't hear what others were discussing and analyzing, Mo Ye could only look at it with his own eyes, trying to see the cause of the problem.

Her eyes were fixed, and when she looked at the merchant ship, she saw that the bow of the ship was standing upright, and more than a dozen people had gathered, and judging by their clothes, they should all be crew members. There were a dozen people at the bow of the boat, and several other crew members had already slid down a ropeway and dived underwater, not knowing what to do.

"Looks like something is wrong."

Ye Nuonuo's voice came from his side, Mo Ye turned his head to look at Ye Nuonuo, who was standing next to him and was also looking intently at the merchant ship, and hesitated: "What do you see?" ”

Ye Nuonuo hesitated: "This harbor was built a few years ago, and it has been in use for many years, and the bathymetric survey has gone back and forth several times, and there has never been a reef collision. In addition, there should be no leakage of the hull. Although several of these dozen or so large merchant ships were newly added last year, they have been successfully sailed twice, and the annual maintenance time is several times the time of use. Under this premise, if something goes wrong, not only will the emperor be punished, but the people responsible for building these ships should be ashamed and kill themselves. ”

Mo Ye gasped when she heard this, still having doubts in her heart, but she didn't ask anything more. She thinks that this is all Yenuo can understand, and that's probably all she can do.

After a few moments, the crew members who had dived into the water came out of the water one after another, climbing the ropeway back to the ship. The drenched diver had a quick conversation with the waiting crew on board, and then one of the crew strode up to the mast, stood still under it, and gestured to the crew member who was guarding the observation deck at the top of the mast.

The crew on the observation platform had already seen the diving behavior of the crew on the splint, realized that something was wrong, and became vigilant in advance. After receiving the command from below, the crew member above also made a gesture, and then he shortened, and when he stood up again, he already had a small triangular black flag in his hand.

At this moment, Mo Ye suddenly heard Ye Nono's voice.

"Black Lingqi ......" Ye Nuonuo reached out and touched a twisted pigtail hanging down to his neck, his pupils shrank, as if he was searching for memory fragments in his mind, "A few years ago, my father accompanied me here, and he talked about the meaning of the six colors of Lingqi on the merchant ship, and black seems to be ...... Anchor ......"

Mo Ye glanced at Ye Nono in surprise, and then subconsciously looked towards the mast again, and saw that the black flag held by the crew member on the observation platform had been raised to the shoulder. But when he was about to raise his hand on the top and issue a flag order to the officials who supervised the execution on the altar, he was on the observation platform. Suddenly, another person came and pressed his arm.

Until then, the man had not been seen on the observatory, but there was a windproof fence around the observatory, so it would be difficult for anyone to find a person hiding inside, as long as the crew on the observatory were willing to keep it a secret.

The crew member who was about to raise the flag was stunned at first, and subconsciously wanted to push away the force that hindered him from raising the flag. But when he looked sideways, he saw the face of the "extra man". His hand holding the flag froze in mid-air for a moment, and then naturally, or rather, it drooped down on his own initiative, giving up the decision to issue the flag order.

――What is this person's identity? How could the crew in charge of the flag order be allowed to change the decision handed in by the crew members below after deliberation?

Followed by. The "extra person" climbed out of the windshield fence around the observatory and fell straight down.

From the point he approached the top of the mast to the time he landed on the ship's plank, his figure sliding down the way. It is almost straight and parallel to the mast without any contact. It was like a spider sliding down a tree along a filament - but no one could see his "spider silk", and perhaps no one could be sure whether he had jumped down with a tool.

However, Mo Ye, who saw this scene. An image suddenly flashed in my heart.

That day, Wu Shu took her to the Martyrs' Mausoleum to pay respects to her master, and passed by the Wolf's Tooth Siege on the way. Wu Shu carried her up to the city wall, and then slipped down the body exercises. That's what it looks like.

The momentum is like wanting to go straight up to the sky, and the speed of falling is like leaning over the cliff without care, this person ...... It is......

When this thought first came to Mo Ye's mind, the range of her gaze was already about to break away from the figure that fell straight from the top of the mast. And she was only in a trance for a moment, and when she tried to find out where the figure was, she barely caught half of the silhouette of a gray figure before sliding down the ropeway into the water.

"Uncle Wu......"

Mo Ye didn't hold back, and two words came out of his throat.

Because she couldn't help but make a sound, the sound was not loud, and against the background of the noise environment she was in at this time, it was more and more reflected as slightly as a mosquito "buzzing".

But Yenono, who was standing very close to her, still noticed something strange and glanced sideways at her.

Ye Nuonuo felt that Mo Ye seemed to say something just now, but when she looked at her, she saw that she was looking silently and did not speak, but her eyes seemed to contain a heart that did not confide.

After Mo Ye lost his mind and whispered, he quickly realized that this behavior was inappropriate, and he quickly pursed his lips and stopped talking. But in her heart, she was still worried about the agile figure who was suspected of being Wu Shu. Although she subconsciously understood that Wu Shu was superb in martial arts and agile, when he was submerged in the water, her heart couldn't help but rise.

The gray figure had been diving for a long time.

The dozen or so crew members who stopped at the bow of the ship also began to show signs of anxiety. Several crew members had already pointed to the water, and then opened their lips to the people next to them, and said something quickly, as if they couldn't hold back and wanted to go down and have a look.

How long can a person hold his breath underwater?

Mo Ye nervously and quickly searched for memory fragments in her mind, and before she could figure out this question, she saw the surface of the water where Wu Shu had dived into the water just now, and suddenly a large white and blue splash bulged from below, and the eyes of the crew at the bow of the ship towards the water surface also became neat.

The gray figure finally emerged from the water, and quickly climbed back to the boat along the ropeway, he was soaking wet on the board, but it allowed Mo Ye to identify him more clearly.

His hair, which was not so voluminous, had been soaked by the sea, and had become straight and obedient to his head, and the voluminous strand of hair on his forehead hung like a blade of grass, and could no longer cover his strange face of two colors.

Mo Ye's eyes widened slightly, she wanted to see farther and clearer, but her lips were pursed tighter and tighter.

Wu Shu, who was sitting on the board, said something to the crew next to him, and the crew hesitated for a moment, and then beckoned a few people to walk down the cabin together.

After a moment, the behemoth body of the merchant ship slowly moved.

However, because there was one anchor cone that had not been pulled up, the extremely thick iron chain that held the anchor cone had been pulled straight, as if it had reached the limit of its toughness, and under the control of the confined force from the seabed, the hull of the ship only moved slightly, and the iron chain made a strange grinding sound.

This sound, composed of two notes, sharp and dull, seems to be coated with a layer of spiritual control, piercing the hearts of all the spectators on the coastal observation deck, and they are impetuous.

But the heart-wrenching tugging didn't last long before it stopped. If you want to accurately describe the scene of the giant ship stopping, because the taut thick iron chain suddenly loosened, and part of the volley chain swayed and hit the hull of the ship, making a dull sound, and a small number of spectators on the shore observation deck were frightened by the collision, but the strange grinding sound finally stopped.

In fact, the deflection of the hull is not large, but because the chain itself is not elastic in the slightest, a trace of tension is reflected in it, as if it has the momentum of wanting to break it.

As the chains suddenly relaxed, the hull of the ship trembled for a moment, and then slowly stopped again. The nervousness of the dozen or so crew members could be seen in the swift approach of the chain.

Wu Shu had been sitting on the board of the boat near the chain, and at this time, the hull of the boat had just stopped shaking like a struggle, and he had once again slid down the edge of the ropeway and dived to the bottom.

Mo Ye's heart was also secretly lifted again.

This time, Wu Shu dived into the water for a longer time than the previous time.

Mo Ye secretly thought that it might be that he had lost too much body on his previous dive, so it would take more time to go down the second time. However, her thoughts flickered, and she immediately frowned again. The biggest difference between operating underwater and acting on land is that you can't breathe. Isn't it dangerous to stay in an environment where you need to hold your breath for longer?

But just as she was about to shout, in the area where Wu Shu dived into the water, there was a splash of water bulging out of the water from below. She knew that it was Wu Shu who was coming up, but when she saw the dirty color of those splashes, her face couldn't help but change again.

But fortunately, Wu Shu still got out of the water behind the splash of mud and sand.

However, when he returned to the ship after the second dive, his image can almost only be described as wolf bèi.

It was as if he had just crawled out of the mud. Fortunately, the structure of the sediment on the seabed is not as dirty as the silt under the laundry pool, so the sea sand on Wu Shu's hair and clothes can still show a close to pure silver color...... (To be continued)
