Chapter 3: Watching the Sea of Tranquility

The street corner machine rotated, the rhythm gradually turned into dust, and the sudden noise made Shenhyuk, who was accustomed to quiet, a little uncomfortable. The handkerchief floating in the air landed on his feet impartially, and Shenhyuk leaned over to pick it up, and there was a little more dust on the pure white handkerchief. Following the prestige, the old port was now blocked with water, and the crowd of people looked into the sea, not knowing what they were looking at.

Sanna'er hurriedly grabbed a woman passing by.

"Auntie, why are there so many people in the port, is something wrong?"

"It seems that something strange has appeared on the sea, and I have gone to see it. ”

After the aunt finished speaking, she walked away, because she was bloated and ran like a big cicada chrysalis.

"Flowers, quick, come with me. ”

Before he could react, Shenhe Ze was dragged out by San'er, and he didn't forget to say goodbye to Aunt Wright: "Mother-in-law, I'll go with San'er to have a look first." ”

"Don't play too late, go home for dinner later. ”

Aunt Wright smiled kindly, and did not come back to her senses until Sanna'er and Shenhyuk were long gone.

The old lighthouse next to the port is crumbling, as if it will collapse at any time when a gust of wind blows, the Hayer Tower was built in the last era, more than 1,000 years ago, it is the first lighthouse on the mainland to be built and molded for practice, the Hayer Tower was originally used to burn wood to provide a light source, and now it has been changed to an oil lamp, flickering light, guiding the direction for the fishing boats that return late.

When you think of the Tower of Baer, you will think of a person, and that is the famous admiral of the city of Mocarben - Bahers. At that time, the inhabitants of the city of Mokabener lived by fishing at sea, and in the process of fishing, it was inevitable to have friction with the Fish-People, and the contradictions became increasingly intensified, and finally turned into a war, in the war with the Fish-People, the Fish-People defeated the Fish-People and drove them out of the Quiet Bay, as the defeated side of the Fish-People were forced to sign the Fish-People Agreement, which is the so-called land reparation, the content of the agreement mainly includes the ownership of Yaglo and the resource possession of some of the surrounding islands, and at the same time there is a crucial one, as long as the Fish-People are there, then the Fish-People cannot return to the quiet bay, let alone harm the people who go out to sea to fishThe Bahers Tower was built at the time of the signing of the agreement, which was originally placed inside the tower.

Coming to the door, Sanna'er pulled Shenhyuk and carefully pushed the door open.

'Squeak!'

The old and dilapidated wooden door was slowly pushed open a crack, and a smell of decay and dampness came to the face, and the two of them quietly slipped in.

"Whew. ”

Entering the lighthouse, Haiber, who was guarding the lighthouse, was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, and it could be seen from the few wine bottles scattered on the ground that the old man had drunk a lot last night.

Speaking of this, Haiber was a soldier who retired from the army after a broken arm due to serious injuries, and took up the job of guarding the lighthouse, receiving a salary every month, so that he would not be unable to live. 'Haibo' is not his name, but an honorific title, and he has probably forgotten what his name is, and when people ask him, he always shakes his head and never moves again.

In this savage continent, human life is as cheap as mustard, and it is just a handful of loess in the end if he does not mention his name, and this is how Haiber always answers the person who asks him his name.

"Shh

Sannael made a boo, and the two of them crept up the spiral ladder beside Heiber's bed, which led to the top of the Baer Tower. The tower is 60 meters high, climbed for a long time, and finally climbed to the top of the tower, Shenhyuk leaned on the railing breathlessly, standing here with a panoramic view of the entire quiet bay.

"Look, flowers!"

Sanna'er jumped and pointed downward, she seemed to have inexhaustible vitality at any time, even after climbing the sixty-meter-high tower.

Shenhe leaned over to look, the seagulls flew below, and the two three-masted boats slowly leaned towards the port, these two three-masted ships were so big, the fishing boats on the shore were like ants and elephants compared to them, and it was the first time for Shenhe to see such a big ship, and he couldn't help but sigh: "San'er, this boat is so big!"

Sanna'er looked at it for a long time and found that the ship had not been seen.

"Yes, flowers, but this doesn't seem to be our ship!"

Shenhyuk couldn't believe what kind of person it must be to have such a big ship!

"It's not our ship? No, who would park such a big ship here?"

Sanna'er said with great certainty: "I have never seen this ship every day, and you can see that the people below have clearly seen these two ships for the first time." ”

"If that's the case, I'll have to go down and see. ”

Saying that, Shenhyuk prepared to leave.

"Hiccup!"

Just when Shenhyuk turned around, a strong overnight fishy smell and fermented wine came to his face, and he almost fainted at the moment of inhaling his nose, Shenhyuk hurriedly held his breath, and saw an old man with a gray beard, who was the Haibo who had just fallen asleep on the bed.

"You...... When did you come in, do you know where this is?"

Haiber, who was guarding the lighthouse, squinted his eyes, his face was red, his tongue was numbed by alcohol, he was obviously not even able to speak, he didn't seem to have sobered up, he was holding an old-fashioned shotgun in his hand, and he didn't know if he could shoot bullets with his tattered butt, but it was okay to scare and scare people.

"That, that...... We. ”

In the face of Haibo's questioning, Shenhe Ze was a little at a loss, like a child who had made a mistake, Sanna'er was in front of Shenhe, and as soon as he raised his hand, several of Haibo's beards fell into his hands.

Haibo was dragged like this, screaming in pain, and most of the wine woke up, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, but when he saw that it was Sanna'er, he immediately softened: "It's Na'er, why are you here." ”

"Hmph, old man, you're stealing a drink again. What do you have to say this time?"

Sanna'er hugged her shoulders and looked unrelenting.

"Hiccup! I'll drink a little bit! I'm old, old cold legs, at night, this sea breeze blows like that, it hurts so much, I can feel better if I drink some wine, burp!"

Haiber hurriedly pleaded.

"Hmph, that's it, drink a little, three poles in the sun, snoring and sleeping, if we don't wake you up, I guess I will wake up tomorrow! I'll go home and tell my mother in a while." ”

Saying that, Sanna'er pretended to go down.

"Don't tell your mother, she has to know that she will be verbose for a long time, by the way, I just caught two Changhou turtles last night, that head has to be so big, you can take it back and eat it with your mother in a while." ”

Haibo gestured and showed goodwill, for fear that Sanna'er would sue.

"That's pretty much it. ”

Sanna'er was triumphant.

"What are you doing here?"

Hiber asked.

"Look!"

Sannael pointed to the two three-masted ships under the Bahers' Tower.

Haiber walked to the railing and looked in the direction pointed by Sanna'er, and slowly his face turned from red to white. Haibo's frown and movement were seen by Shenhe: "Uncle Hai, do you know these two ships?"

When asked like this, Hai Bo first paused, then shook his head and sighed: "I'm old, I can't remember anything, I wonder that these two ships are too big." ”

When Sanna'er left, Haibo didn't forget to remind her repeatedly to pay attention to safety, which shows how much he hurts her.

Walking out of the Bajer Tower, Shenhe Ze said to himself: Older people like to recall the past, and they tend to remember the past more clearly than young people.
