Chapter 55: Clues
It's getting late,
First mate Randster, after roughly gauging the direction of the wind, ordered Baru to lower the sails, and he himself ran to anchor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's only a shallow sea, and the chain of the main anchor is only halfway down before it touches the bottom of the sea, and Lancet secures the main anchor and rushes to the secondary anchor...
The reason why the Sukhbaatar does not sail at night is very simple, there is only one person who can steer this ship, and he will never be able to eat alone after a long uninterrupted voyage, so he can only anchor at night and sail during the day...
On the deck of the Sukhbaatar, Balu quickly climbed the mainmast with Xiao and Lei, who were two teenagers who learned this set of sail lines very quickly, and were now barely able to operate independently in just two or three days.
Of course! There is still a big gap between the two little guys compared to Balu,
The three of them cooperated with each other to put away the sails.
Baru pulled out a strip of black cloth from his back pocket and tied it to a prominent position on the crossbar, and after securing the sail, the three climbed down the mainmast and tied the sail rope to the string.
By this time, Ken's dinner was ready, and the whole ship was filled with the breathtaking aroma.
Xiao secretly swallowed a mouthful of spit, looked up and saw a black cloth strip tied to the crossbar by Balu, and asked a little strangely, "Brother Balu, why do you want to tie a black cloth to the highest crossbar of the mainmast?" β
Hearing Xiao's question, Balu replied with a smile: "That! It was a tradition in my hometown to tie a strip of black cloth to the highest crossbar, which meant to pray for the ship to be 'not confused by the night'. β
"Oh? Can I tie that too? Xiao looked wistfully at the striking black cloth on the mast.
"Well, forget it this time, I still have a red one. I'll let you come next time! What do you think! Balu looked at Xiao with a smile.
"Red? What's the implication of that? Akatsuki was immediately intrigued when she heard Balu say this.
"Is it red..."
As soon as Balu opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Thunder on the side: "Brother, Brother Ken's meal is ready!" β
'Gollum! β
Hearing the words 'Ken and rice', Xiao, who was a little bigger, swallowed involuntarily and spat again.
"Good! Let's go! After answering simply, the two brothers left Baru, who was fixing the sail line, and ran to the ship's dining room.
Balu sighed inexplicably while tying up the sail line: "After all, you are still young!" β
"Hey! Balu, what does the red strip of cloth mean? "Kachimia on the lookout carried 'Belloris' and landed in front of Baru, and she listened to the conversation between the three of them word for word.
It's just that unlike 'Xiao's curiosity, she is a little skeptical. The suspicion is not because of anything else, but because of the color of the strip of cloth! Familiar with the history of the continent, she clearly knew that on the continent of Karad, black was a symbol of foreboding and calamity, how could it be used as a blessing?
There is also red, although red also has a good side, but more often it represents war, killing!
Balu heard Kachimia's question, and the burly man smiled gently.
"Huh! It's just some local customs in the countryside, but they can't get into the eyes of Miss Kachimia! β
Before he had time to think, Kachimia's head went blank when he heard the word 'Miss', and his face suddenly turned red: "'Miss'? Are you kidding! A man at the next time! β
"Huh!" Balu smiled gently.
"Don't talk nonsense! Otherwiseβ" Seeing Baru's smile, Kacmia dropped a plausible threat and ran away with a red face and no return.
Balu finally tightened the rope and said to himself, "What a group of people with obvious weaknesses..."
With that, he walked alone towards the ship's dining room...
ββββββββββ
The dinner of the Sukhbaatar was opened at night,
1223οΌ
1234οΌ
1235οΌ
Kitagawa waved his fists and kicked his legs along the way through the hallway to the restaurant.
This was originally a meeting room on the ship, but at the strong request of a certain captain, it was converted into a dining room, and then it was forcibly called "the best place to solve the problem is the table!" βγ
As Kitagawa, who is the captain, enters the restaurant, dinner begins. Although Ken's craftsmanship was not said in the end, except for Balu, Xiao and Lei Brothers, the three foodies, everyone's attention was completely on the food.
To be precise, Beichuan's strange behavior overcame the temptation of food and firmly attracted everyone's attention.
What is this guy doing?
Let me ask you, have you ever seen a man who is eating with his fist waving?
Chef Ken's theme for today's dinner is fish, and this thing is not lacking in the vast sea, and what I didn't expect is that Ken is also a master fisherman! With just a fishing rod made of scraps from the ship and a little bait, there was enough food for all the Sukhbaatar to eat!
That's not the point, the point is that the current captain βββββ holding the salmon in one hand and gnawing on it, and the other hand is clenched into a fist and constantly hitting the air, and there are strange things like 'Baba Si, Baba Si Uh-huh' in his mouth.
"Ahem! Well, Lord Higgs can't be crazy. Camicia looked cautiously at Liz, who was also glaring at the side.
Liz shook her head and said she didn't know...
At this time, Yongshan, who was sitting in the corner and munching on bread, answered.
"This kid has been like this since he got into a fight with me at noon." After speaking, Long Shan took a bite of the hard bread in his hand.
"I say! That bald head, you can't break our captain's head, do you? Liz looked at Yongshan suspiciously.
"I didn't, we were still talking after the fight..."Ryuzan continued to chew the bread in his mouth, and the crumbs of bread spurted out like snowflakes in his mouth.
"Hey, hey! I said that bald head! Be careful about other people! Ken, who was sitting across from Yongsan and was sprayed, was furious.
"Boy! Who do you call bald! Look at me tearing you down! β
Yongsan suddenly stood up, and if he didn't open his mouth, he opened his mouth, and his mouth was like a watering can spraying forwardββββ but instead of water, it was bread crumbs...
Seeing Long Shan like this, Ken was also angry! wiped a handful of breadcrumbs on his face, grabbed Long Shan's collar and said, "Dead bald!" Go to the deck! β
"Just go!" Yongsan continued to spray.
The two guys dragged one to the deck...
"Captain Higgs! Won't you stop them? The first mate Lanster, who had been watching from the side for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak.
Hearing this, Beichuan finally stopped what he was doing and took a look, and the deck outside the hatch was dyed moon white by the moon and said: "These two guys are both pilgrims on the road called the strong, the battle between them, don't worry!" It's going to be fine. β
After that, he began to continue the unfinished action again.
First mate Randster followed the gaze of his own captain before,
Outside the hatch, the moonlight is like water!
The middle-aged man lowered his head thoughtfully...
Not long after Ken and Ryuzan walked out, there was a fierce fight outside, mixed with a few strong vibrations from time to time.
"I mean, they're not going to break the deck, are they?" Leeds said with some concern.
"Probably not! I'm worried about whether Ken will be killed... What about food in the future? Camicia said with a worried expression.
Beichuan complained in his busy schedule: "Longshan is measured, even if I am killed, I will make food!" Feel relieved! β
ββββββ
Suddenly
Two figures with blue noses and swollen faces walked in from outside the hatch, supporting each other...
"Hey! Unexpected! I've found a true martial arts descendant here! β
"Aha! I'm afraid I'll break you just now! What you make is delicious! β
"Can you teach me martial arts?"
"When I'm done with my own business, I'll open a martial arts gym in Paravon, the 'Hero City of the World', and then you just have to bring gold coins!"
"Do you still want to collect money?"
"Definitely, in order to keep the martial arts hall running!"
"That's right! Hahahaha! I'll go find you! β
"Aha! No problem! ...β
