Chapter 43: Set sail
In addition to this, the elder Buffon's driving skills are also top-notch, and he is also extremely proficient in the maintenance of boats!
It can be said that if you go out to sea, there is no one in this town who is more suitable to be a captain than the old Buffon!
When everything was ready, Buffon Sr. said to the two of us: "No other sailor in this town dares to go to sea!" So this time, in addition to sightseeing and other things, you have to give me a hand, that is, you will also play the role of sailor and my first mate! ”
"No problem! Wrap it up on me! ”
It was getting late today, and the elder Buffon said that he would leave tomorrow, and then he would take us on board to explain the use and operation of various places on the ship!
After some introductions, we went home and went to bed!
However, when we stepped onto the deck the next day, Joan of Arc and I were completely stunned!
We thought that it would be no difficult to sail the boat, but we were completely panicked by the old Buffon's reprimand!
"It's a big wave here! Don't go near the guardrail! Do you want to go into the sea to feed the fish? ”
"Hey! That village girl, you should be sensitive to the rudder, don't look left and right! ”
"Hey! The elder brother of the village girl! You turn the engine down, we can't afford the fuel we bought, you are so profligate, is it possible, do you want to paddle back to port! ”
"Village girl! The speed has reached thirty knots! Stop rambling around! ”
"Hell yes! Didn't Old Brook's boat have an oil change? Why is it so noisy? ”
"Oh! God has a reef in front of him, hell! Get out of the way! ”
……
Since he got on the boat, old Buffon's mouth has not stopped, either reprimanding me or Joan of Arc! Even the old owner of the ship, the old Brooke, was not spared!
Because of these messes, we lost a lot of time!
It took us over an hour to stumble out of the port!
After sailing out of the port, Buffon Sr. let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh! My God, you are the stupidest sailors and first mates I have ever seen! ”
Me: "Oh! My God, you are the most daring subordinate I have ever met! Don't forget! In addition to being your first officer, I'm also your boss! I'm going to pay you a salary!" ”
Buffon Sr.: "Salary? A trip to the sea with you will save me ten years of life! If it weren't for the fact that my brother was in dire need of money to repair it, I wouldn't have bothered to go to sea with your partner? ”
Joan of Arc asked, "What about the sailors before you?"
Buffon Sr. lit a cigarette and said, "My brother and I are enough!" Never have I ever hired a sailor! Those who take the money to eat, will only break the parts on my brother's body! ”
Me: "Then why don't you just drive the boat by yourself?" Why do you want us to be your sailors and first mate? ”
Buffon Sr. took a cigarette in his mouth and began to check the instruments in the cockpit!
He said while holding a cigarette: "My brother, I can drive alone!" He was a perfect match for my driving skills! But Old Brooke's ship doesn't! He's terrible on this ship! If I were alone, I wouldn't have been able to sail this boat! ”
Me: "Oh! Oh my God, you don't drive your brother out! That way the two of us don't have to be so tired! You don't have to be so angry! ”
Buffon Sr. looked at me with disdain and said, "Are you stupid! I said that my brother has a critical part that is broken and needs to be repaired, and you still let me drive my brother out? ”
Me: "......"
Seeing that I was deflated, Joan of Arc explained: "Old Mr. Buffon, this is Chinese humor!"
Buffon Sr. shook his head and said, "I haven't been to China, so I don't understand this kind of humor!"
Although this ship was complained about by the old Buffon in every way, it was not ambiguous at all when it sailed at full power!
Soon the ship was far from the mainland and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean!
The land in the distance has formed a thin line with the sky, and there is nothing to see except water and water all around!
The ship was bumpy, and the smell of the sea breeze was constantly blowing on the face!
My mind suddenly came to mind the invincible armada of Europe's great power across the Atlantic!
If there was no Ming Dynasty's board that would not have allowed us to go to the sea, if there was no Qing Dynasty's seclusion and seclusion, maybe the old Meizi who is now the king and hegemon in the world is now being our little brother!
Alas! Think too much!
The boat slowly stopped, and I hurried from the deck to the wheelhouse!
"Old Buffon! What's wrong! Is the ship broken? ”
Buffon Sr. took a cigarette in his mouth and said, "It's almost! Let's stop here for a while and then head back! ”
I'll go! Lao Tzu hasn't met anything yet! If you go back like this! Isn't that money just going down the drain!
"No! We can't go back yet! ”
Buffon Sr. confronted me with wide eyes, "What's wrong?" Why not? We don't have much fuel, and it's noon now! If we don't hurry back, we won't be able to go back if the fog picks up in the afternoon! ”
"What's more, it's another matter whether this Seagod will let us go back!"
"I'm just in charge of taking you out to sea! It's not for you! ”
At this time, Joan of Arc, who sensed the situation, also walked into the cab and asked, "What's wrong?" Why did the ship stop? ”
Buffon Sr. said: "We will rest here for an hour or so!"
"Now you can eat, take pictures, and bask in the sun! It is even possible to do X on this sea! Anyway, in another hour, I'll be sailing back! ”
As he spoke, Buffon Sr. took out a bottle of cold beer from the cabin and drank it to himself!
Joan of Arc and I looked at each other helplessly!
At this time, the sea is calm and calm, and there is no sign of an accident at all! If we go back now, it will basically be a waste of money!
I whispered to Joan of Arc with my spiritual power, "Joan of Arc! It can't go on like this! We won't be able to go back until at least the evening, or I'll lose my money!" ”
Joan of Arc: "Yes! Okay, then I'll figure it out! ”
Me: "Try not to anger old Buffon, this thing is not very good, if I don't do it, my ship will be ruined!"
Joan of Arc: "Understood! ”
Joan of Arc walked up to old Buffon and said, "Old Buffon, do you want to sacrifice to the god of the sea?"
Buffon Sr. shook the beer bottle and drank the rest of the beer in it!
"Sacrifice to the god of the sea? Hehe! My old Buffon grew up and never believed in the existence of any gods in the world! If you want to talk about demons like Lucifer, I believe it! ”
Buffon Sr. took out some fruit and canned food from the cabin, and of course beer!
