Chapter Eighty-Eight: Facing the Sea, Spring Blossoms
The treasure ship has a deep draft, and the coastline without a deep-water dock is full of countless reefs, which are the graveyards of the treasure ship, so from the very beginning, the treasure ship has been docked far away from the sea.
The five-tooth giant ship borrowed from Luoyang, at this time, was driven back to Luoyang by the sailors from Luoyang, and it is estimated that at this time, it should have arrived in Luoyang.
Of course, when I came, the ship was full of people, and when I left, it was also full of goods, which were naturally good things produced in Nanfuzhou, which was a favor for returning home.
At the beginning, the boat that carried Zhao Chen and them back from the sea was still docked on the coastline at this time.
So, naturally, Zhao Chen took Ji Ning'er and the others in a small boat, towards the treasure ship on the sea in the distance, and slowly approached the past.
This time he went to sea to distract Ji Ning'er, and there was nothing special, so Zhao Chen only brought Hou Yong, Muqiu and others, while Cheng Chumo and others were left on the shore.
The five hundred Flying Tiger Army, this time they came to Guangzhou, it is not that they have nothing to do, just as Zhao Chen just told Yu Ronghai in the city of Guangzhou, he wants to build a huge wharf in Guangzhou.
And this wharf is naturally built for the imminent establishment of the maritime army, which can be regarded as Cheng Chumo's business, so the five hundred Flying Tiger Army, in the next few days, will stay on the shore and be responsible for the preliminary preparations.
The sun is very good, standing on the wide deck, stretching out your arms, looking at the blue sea in front of you, and listening to the sound of seagulls in your ears, no matter how depressed you are, it is also at this moment. It will involuntarily produce a feeling of relaxation and happiness.
"Ready to go whale watching?" Ji Ning'er beside her. A pair of eyes with a smile in them, squinting slightly. The expression on his face was intoxicated, and seeing Ji Ning'er like this, Zhao Chen suddenly asked with a smile.
"Hmm!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words beside her, Ji Ning'er, who was originally squinting slightly, suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Zhao Chen with a smile, nodded vigorously, and hummed lightly.
"Sail!" Hearing Ji Ning'er's light hum, Zhao Chen chuckled at Ji Ning'er. When he raised his head, he shouted an order at the ship's wingmen and sailors.
The sailors on the treasure ship who had been waiting for Zhao Chen's order for a long time immediately became busy when they heard Zhao Chen's words.
A wingman sailor, holding two small flags, waved vigorously at one of the wingmen on the mast.
I saw the wingman waving the flag below, the wingman on the mast. Immediately put the conch to his mouth, and the next moment, the melodious conch sounded on the treasure ship.
As the melodious conch horn sounded, more than a dozen wingmen sailors. Shouting the trumpet in unison, turning the winch, and the sound of iron chains rattling. The heavy anchor was pulled up little by little.
And at the moment when the anchor was lifted, the sixteen oars on both sides of the treasure ship were lifted. At the same time, it began to shake, and the prismatic oars slapped against the sea. Draw a circle of ripples.
And in this rowing, the giant treasure ship began to move little by little, and with the rapid rowing of the oars, the speed gradually increased.
The boat is going south, the wind is beautiful, with the treasure ship moving forward, a flock of seagulls, accompanied by the treasure ship, Ji Ning'er, who has been sullen for a long time, saw the scene in front of her, and the smile in her eyes never stopped.
"In a place a long time ago, there was a particularly remarkable person there, he was the most famous captain there..."On the huge deck, Zhao Chen was lying on a beach chair, enjoying the sunbathing, while looking at Ji Ning'er who was crawling on the side of the boat and looking at the sea, and spoke in a leisurely voice.
"Front?" Ji Ning'er, who was on the side of the boat, looking at the sea, heard Zhao Chen's voice behind her, and couldn't help but turn around, looked at Zhao Chen and asked curiously.
“… No, well, I mean, this place is not in Datang! Zhao Chen was interrupted by Ji Ning'er, smiled at Ji Ning'er, patted the chair beside him, and motioned for Ji Ning'er to sit down, and then said: "It's very far away from Datang, even if the speed of the treasure ship, it will take a long, long time to arrive!" ”
"Ugh!" When Ji Ning'er heard Zhao Chen's words, she was slightly stunned, thinking of Zhao Chen's words in her mind, her eyes stretched out to the distant sea level, and after a long time, she turned around, looked at Zhao Chen and asked, "So far away, what kind of place will it be!" ”
"Caribbean!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he chuckled and said: "But that's not the point, the point is the person I just talked about, his name is Jack, and everyone who knows him will call him Captain Jack, and he himself will call himself Captain Pirate!" ”
"This Jie Senpai is a pirate?" Ji Ning'er listened to Zhao Chen's yearning tone at first, and thought that this person was amazing, but as a result, when she heard Zhao Chen talk about the pirate captain, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Hah, he often calls himself a pirate, and he often dresses up like a vicious pirate!" Zhao Chen recalled the things about Jack in his mind, and said to Ji Ning'er: "However, he often backfires, and every time he fights with a real pirate, he is left alone!" ”
"Then this senior should be a thief!" A trace of fascination began to appear in Ji Ning'er's eyes, obviously, she had been attracted by the story of this Captain Jack.
"That's right!" When Zhao Chen heard this, he smiled at Ji Ning'er and said, "However, my favorite is not Captain Jack's thief, but something else!" ”
When Zhao Chen said this, he paused slightly, and then looked at Ji Ning'er and said: "It's him, that indomitable spirit, even if he is in a desperate situation, even if he is beaten by the opponent and only has a pair of underwear, he can still get up until he crawls down the opponent!" ”
Ji Ning'er, who was originally immersed in Captain Jack's story, suddenly heard Zhao Chen's words, and the expression on her face was slightly stunned, and she looked at Zhao Chen blankly, and she was speechless for a while.
"So, Ning'er!" Zhao Chen sat up straight, held Ji Ning'er's hand with both hands, stared at Ji Ning'er up close, and said: "We should all learn from Captain Jack, learn to live strongly, only live very happily, the ancestor is in the sky, and if you see it, you will be happy, right?" ”
"Hmm!" Ji Ning'er listened to Zhao Chen's words, her eyes were a little red, she lowered her head, nodded vigorously at Zhao Chen, and her throat seemed to be choked, and she hummed lightly.
"Come, I'll teach you a way!" When Zhao Chen said this, he suddenly got up from the chair, said something in his mouth, pulled Ji Ning'er to the side of the boat, let go of Ji Ning'er's hand, and said with a smile: "Let's learn with me, okay?" ”
"Hmm!" Ji Ning'er didn't know what Zhao Chen was going to do, but out of instinctive reaction, after hearing Zhao Chen's words, she still nodded and hummed lightly.
With Ji Ning'er's approval, Zhao Chen gathered his hands together and put them to his mouth, and then, facing the sea, with enough strength, shouted loudly: "Ancestor... How are you? ”
Zhao Chen's shout, with all his strength, came out from afar, causing the busy wingmen and sailors on the treasure ship to look sideways.
“… Shout! After shouting, Zhao Chen put down his gathered hands, looked at Ji Ning'er with encouraging eyes, and said: "Close your eyes, put your hands to your mouth, don't think about anything, and shout out the words in your heart to the sea!" ”
Hearing Zhao Chen's words of encouragement, Ji Ning'er's eyes flashed slightly, and under Zhao Chen's continuous encouragement, finally, he took a long breath, learned from Zhao Chen's appearance just now, gathered his hands and put them to his mouth.
"Ancestor..."Ji Ning'er gathered her hands, closed her eyes slightly, took a gentle breath, and then, facing the sea, she suddenly burst her heart and shouted: "Ning'er misses you, I really miss you..."
Ji Ning'er closed her eyes, put her hands together at her mouth, and shouted at the sea one by one, her voice gradually became a whimper from the beginning of the clear, and at the end, the voice that came out became a loud cry.
At this time, many of the sailors on the ship, including several Flying Tiger Army, including Hou Yong, looked at this side curiously at first, but when they saw Zhao Chen, they took the crying Ji Ning'er in their arms, and then turned their heads one by one.
"Cry, cry out all the unhappiness in your heart!" Zhao Chen hugged Ji Ning'er, listened to Ji Ning'er in his arms, crying heartbreakingly, gently patted Ji Ning'er's shoulder with his hand, and whispered.
Since the death of the ancestor, Ji Ning'er has been silent, on the surface, it seems to be much better, but Zhao Chen knows that in Ji Ning'er's heart, there is actually a deep sadness.
Extreme sadness, if not released in time, will become a disease in the depths of my heart in the long run.
Zhao Chen is from the next generation, and naturally he is used to such things, and he has seen too many people who are depressed like this, and in the end, they were all tortured and driven crazy by themselves.
He didn't want that kind of thing to happen to Ji Ning'er, so he couldn't wait to take Ji Ning'er to sea, just hoping that in such an environment, Ji Ning'er could release the depression in her heart.
Ji Ning'er in her arms was crying loudly, this was the first time since the death of her ancestor that Ji Ning'er let go of her voice and cried so loudly, and her crying was full of grief that had been suppressed for a long time.
However, just as in the dark, just when Ji Ning'er was lying in Zhao Chen's arms and crying loudly, a whale roar suddenly came from the distant sea.
The sound came from a distance, and everyone on the treasure ship raised their heads at this moment, looked at the place where the sound came from, and let out bursts of exclamations.
"Look at Ning'er, that's a whale!" Zhao Chen's eyes also looked over there with this whale roar, and when he saw that on the sea over there, a giant whale was breaking through the seawater, and when his huge body jumped up, he immediately lowered his head and shouted at Ji Ning'er.
With Zhao Chen's voice, Ji Ning'er, who was lying in her arms, raised her head suddenly, and looked in the direction of Zhao Chen's finger.
On the surface of the sea, an unimaginably huge fish was plunging into the sea, surrounded by waves splashed by giant whales, several feet high.
"Is that a whale?" Ji Ning'er's face still had tears of crying, however, the expression on her face was completely shocked by the scene in front of her.
"Hmm!" Zhao Chen was still holding Ji Ning'er, looking at the whale in the distance, and after hearing this, he said with a smile: "It is the overlord of the ocean, no one dares to provoke it!" (To be continued.) )
