432 Birds of the Same Life (10 Ghost Ships)
Riding the wind and waves, all the way north, Liansheng sat on the deck every day to blow the wind, looking at the scenery on both sides is very pleasant.
At this time, they had already come to the boundary of Shandong, and further on to the mouth of Bohaikou, where Qian'er judged that they should be able to meet Xuanming's ship.
"Master, it's still blowing the wind, and your face will be blown black."
Xu Yan ran out of the cabin, saw Liansheng sitting on the deck eating snacks and drinking tea easily, stepped forward and snatched the honey three knives that Liansheng was about to swallow in his mouth, and threw it directly into his mouth, and then licked his lips gently: "It tastes good, the dim sum in this palace is full of ingredients." ”
"Hey, grab it."
"Master, since you got on the ship, you have been blowing the wind on the deck every day to eat snacks, this is not good, be careful when you return to Beijing, you blow black and eat fat, and become a black fat man."
"Wow, you have such a vicious heart, and you curse me like this."
"Master, people care about you, and the apprentices will do the work for you."
"Aren't you worried about being seen by Wang Heng when you go back?"
"Wang Heng......" Xu Yan lowered her head, her hands went around, and Lian Sheng chuckled: "Look, when did you start to be ashamed when you were so thin-skinned?" ”
"Master, people have always been very thin-skinned."
Xu Yan thought of Wang Heng's indefatigability after she was kidnapped, and her heart was so sweet that honey could drip out.
"Oops, this looks like it's sour." Liansheng couldn't help but quip.
The two of them laughed for a while, listening to the sound of a dry cough coming from behind them.
"Wood, what are you going to say?"
Xu Yan looked at Qian'er standing not far away with a straight face. Beckoned to him, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
"The ship of Xuan Ming and the others should be not far from here, please pay attention to safety."
"I know, recharge your energy these days, and the time for the decisive battle is coming soon. Qianer, you should give everyone a good meal at night, maybe you can meet the enemy tomorrow. ”
Rensheng stood up and walked into the cabin, intending to boost his morale.
After all, it is not a professional navy, and it has been walking on the canal for several days, and in the past few days there have been people who have been seasick. Hasumi felt the need to mobilize before the war. Boost morale, these rely on that wood Qianji obviously can't do it.
In the evening, a hearty dinner was prepared in the kitchen. This time, I couldn't bring more vegetables, but I brought a lot of easy-to-store cabbage and potatoes, and the bottom warehouse contained sheep, chickens, and rabbits. Chicken eat some broken rice. Sheep and rabbits eat hay. It can be regarded as a salary for the army. In the evening, he killed a sheep, and the scene was bloody, so frightened that Xu Yan ran to the cabin and didn't dare to come out. Some soldiers hung down large wooden barrels and brought water to wash the deck, thinking about the sumptuous feast of the evening, and laughter everywhere. At this time, the sun has gradually set, and the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the wide river, half the river is sorrowful and half the river is red, and the description in the poem is really accurate.
This section of the river is very wide and dark in color, so it should be at the mouth of the sea and the Bohai Bay at night, right?
Lian Sheng leaned against the railing and looked at the lively scene on the deck, full of ambition, hoping to catch up with Xuanming's gang as soon as possible, and he could quickly ask what the same fate spell was all about. Liansheng was originally an atheist, and he has been trying to use scientific principles to explain the unbelievable in his investigations. But in her heart, she still believes that there must be things she doesn't know, things she doesn't know, things that are beyond the reach of the human eye. Otherwise, how did you cross over? Liansheng lives well in Dashun, but he doesn't want to be really killed by some Laoshizi to be buried with King Qin, and he hasn't lived enough.
Thinking of this, Liansheng clenched his fists, full of passion before the war.
In the evening, a large pot of mutton, cabbage, and potatoes were made, and the hot soup was accompanied by dry cakes, and the soldiers cheered, and many people sat on the deck with bowls and snorted and ate lively.
After Liansheng got on the ship, except for eating a small snack every day, three meals a day were the same as those of the soldiers, and there was no specialization. She went to the kitchen to get the food herself, and the chef smiled and said, "My lord, this blood sausage is good, and I washed the casing quite clean." ”
Blood sausage, I like it. Lian Sheng asked for a piece of blood sausage, and returned to the cabin, Xu Yan looked at a large black piece of something in her bowl, grinning, she was not used to eating this kind of big pot of rice, as long as a bowl of soup, soak the cake in it and eat it.
After dinner, Lian Sheng took Xu Yan to the deck to see the moon.
"What's so nice about the moon."
Xu Yan just wanted to go to bed.
"The moon is born on the sea at this time, how poetic and picturesque. It's already to the sea, it's very beautiful, come on. ”
The moon was very good this night, Liansheng silently calculated, it turned out to be the thirteenth of the lunar calendar, the black sky and the round moon rose from the sea and walked upwards a little bit, generously sprinkling the afterglow on the sea. The sea is calm, but I don't know what is under the seemingly calm waves, and there is a sense of deep mystery.
"Hey, what's that!"
Xu Yan pointed ahead.
"Like, it's a boat!"
Lian Sheng hurriedly ordered someone to call Qian'er over.
Qian'er came with Ma Liu, an undercover agent of the Cao Gang, who recognized the Cao Gang's boat, stood in front and looked at it carefully, and said happily: "My lord, it's Lao Feng's boat." I recognized the boat, with a string of horse's tails tied to the mast. ”
"Okay, work hard, catch up with them!" Qianji was also in high spirits in an instant.
"Catch up with them!" Liansheng was also extremely excited, Xuan Ming might be in that boat, that sinful guy, and he was about to be punished. Xu Yan clung to the side of the boat tightly, thinking that the person who kidnapped and humiliated herself might be about to appear, she was excited and worried.
Getting closer and closer, and about to catch up, Liansheng suddenly whispered: "No, this ship doesn't seem to be moving much!" ”
Yes, Qian'er also found out, and after chasing this for a while, the boat barely went much.
Qian'er waved his hand to let Ma Liu pass the word, asking everyone to prepare for the battle, and he took out his Western binoculars and looked at the ship: "There is no one on the deck. ”
"No one? Are people in the cabin? ”
Lian Sheng thought for a while and asked, "It seems that the other party has already prepared." ”
Qianji looked at the ship for a while and ordered, "Bring the rocket!" ”
The rocket he said was an arrow with cotton soaked in vegetable oil and other things wrapped around the arrow, and his trick was so vicious that the wooden boat caught fire and you couldn't get on the deck to put out the fire.
Three arrows swished, one at the sail, and two fell on the deck, and the sail soon caught fire, and by the light of the fire, everyone could see clearly, and there was indeed not a single figure on the deck.
The deck also began to burn, and there was no one on the ship who made such a big noise.
Something is wrong!
"What should I do?"
Lian Sheng looked at Qian'er, she had no actual combat experience, and her palms were already in cold sweat at this time.
"Lean in."
Kanji ordered the sailors.
"Don't be in a hurry, maybe this ship is there to lure us, don't they have two boats? Maybe another one is waiting for us in the shadows. ”
Liansheng thinks it is better to be cautious.
It's getting closer and closer, as long as you jump, you can go up, everyone take a closer look at the front and back, there are no other boats around, Qian'er took a team of people, jumped directly to the ship, and began to search in the cabin.
There was no sound at all, no fighting, no shouts of killing, the sails burned clean, fell, and the mast began to burn slowly.
The searchers held torches and searched the boat inside and out, but found nothing, and there was no one on the ship.
Qianji withdrew to his ship with people, pointed to the ship and said, "It's really strange that there is no one, where have all the people gone?" ”
"Could it be...... Ghost ship? Rensheng remembered the legend of the ghost ship.
"Ghost ships? What is that? Xu Yan hurriedly asked.
Suddenly, there was a clang, which startled everyone, it turned out that the mast of the ship had fallen, and the flames were jumping on the deck, and in the moonlight, a quietly burning ship looked particularly poignant and ...... Uncanny. (To be continued......)
