Chapter 156: The Sails Fly Again
After returning to the shore where the treasure had been buried, and digging out the large box of lobster specimens, Cuenca's brand-new battleship "Extraordinary Leviathan" set sail. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking at the Keane sailors running around the deck behind him, Wen Wen really couldn't understand where the inexplicable pride of the bow of the ship Cuenca came from.
The wind was very favourable to them, and the trade winds from the west were whistling, and the Extraordinary Leviathan was sailing wide and moving quickly.
Wen Wen raised his eyes to see that it was a blue sea in either direction, and after asking where the sailor Keane was sleeping in his own room, he sent An You back to the cabin, after all, the sea breeze on the deck was still very strong.
"You two are used to it, aren't you?" Cuenca, who was lying on the side of the ship, raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of Wen Wen coming out of the cabin, he looked at the other party and whispered, "If you get seasick, tell me, I have an exclusive secret recipe." ”
"An Yu seems to be fine, she fell asleep in bed, and I didn't react." Wen Wen waved his hand, and also leaned down beside Cuenca, looking at the blue sea in front of him and asked softly, "Your hometown...... How's it going? ”
"I don't know."
Originally, Wen Wen was still worried about whether his question was a little abrupt, but Cuenca's clean answer instantly dispelled his doubts, he looked at Cuenca's side face, made sure he didn't feel any unpleasantness, and then continued to ask, "What ......about it?" Aren't you going to go home and have a look? ”
"What are you going to do?" Cuenca's rhetorical question made Wen Wen stunned, "Since the time I went to sea, I never thought that I would be able to go back alive...... No, boy, did you believe all the nonsense I said last night? ”
"That's not nonsense, you and I know it very well." Wen Wen leaked a shallow smile and shook his head gently, "Actually, to be honest, I have some empathy for everything you have experienced. ”
"Haha, at a time when everyone thinks I'm bragging, you're probably the only one who believes me." Cuenca smiled happily, and quickly took out the old pipe he had picked up from the wreckage of the battleship from his pocket, gently held it in his mouth, and whispered, "All my men must have died in that storm, I really didn't expect to survive." ”
"At this point, we do." Wen Wen showed a somewhat bitter smile, and his eyes looked back and forth on the sea without focus, "All my brothers died in the battle against the demons, and it was really cruel for me to go to war for the first time. ”
"In war, there will always be deaths." Cuenca took out a small paper bag from his jacket pocket, stuffed the tobacco leaves into his pipe, and lit it with a match, the curling green smoke was blown away by the passing sea breeze as soon as it rose. ”
"I know." Gently sighed, he continued, "If my strength is enough, I will definitely let all the people I want to protect live!" ”
"That's a good idea, but if I'm strong enough, I'll take out all the enemies that threaten me!" Cuenca spat out a smoke ring and said with a smile, "If you want to stop being afraid of others, you can only make yourself the most terrible." ”
"If you want to stop being afraid of others, you can only make yourself the most terrible?"
Gently chewing on Cuenca's words, he lost his mind for a moment, and when Kunca saw that he had not spoken, he turned around and saw his stunned appearance.
With a smile, Cuenca didn't bother Gentle, just let him go into a meditative state, and then smoked the pipe in his hand.
After a long time, the tobacco in the pipe was almost burned, and the gentleness slowly came back to his senses and let out a sigh of relief.
"Figured it out?"
"Figured it out!"
Turning his head to look at Cuenca's smiling face, Gentle also showed a relieved smile, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his tone carried a sense of open-mindedness that he had not had before.
"Then can I ask a little more, what have you been through?" Cuenca took off his pipe and poured the ashes into the sea, "Forgive my curiosity, it's definitely a common problem for every old sailor. ”
Cuenca listened quietly to the gentle and bland narration, and said nothing, seeing that the two were chatting so happily, the sailors on the Extraordinary Leviathan also consciously bypassed this place, after all, no one knew if they disturbed the interest of the two big guys, whether they would be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks.
After all, this is Cuenca's ship, and the captain is the boss.
"That's how it all went." Gently sighed and looked at the side face of Cuenca beside him, "I'm done, it's your turn." ”
"Me? Haven't you heard all my stories? Cuenca smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's what I said in the tavern last night, and it's a bit exaggerated, but it's mostly true. ”
"No, what I want to know is what happened at the end of that storm, didn't you say that you met your lover in the depths of the sea?"
"Ha, that's what you're talking about, I don't know how I met her, I just know that I met her in the depths of the dark ocean, and I met her in an accident when I was a hairy boy with no hair on my mouth." Cuenca laughed and said, "From then on, I decided that I would only love her for the rest of my life. ”
"Is she happy to see you?"
"Happy? She was not happy, but she was crying there when she loved to laugh so much. Cuenca lowered her head, but the expression on her face was very happy, "I swam over, and she took me in her arms, oh, you don't know, after so many years, she is still so beautiful!" ”
"And then?"
"Then she scolded me and kissed my wrinkled forehead with her lips, and I thought I had traveled back to time and space, back to the way I was young!" "I asked her if I was dead, but she held me and said nothing, and it was a long, long time before she said to me, 'You can die anywhere, but not in the sea, because the sea rejects you,' and then I felt a glimmer of light above my head, and although I didn't want to say goodbye to her, she let go of her hand and pushed me out with that charming smile." ”
"Wow...... Did you just let her go? ”
"Haha, because I know, we'll see each other again." Cuenca's eyes gleamed with confidence and happiness, "It will definitely be." ”
