Chapter 310: Johnson
The white-haired captain personally took us to the cabin where we rested and arranged for us two separate suites. I went in and looked, wow, oh my God, it's even more luxurious than the room in the previous ship.
York screamed excitedly, immediately took off his wet clothes and rushed into the bathroom to take a shower.
I thanked the white-haired captain and closed the door. I opened the backpack and took out all the items inside and put them on the table, as well as the stack of dollars, which was not wet - it turned out that Dr. Liu wrapped it in a transparent plastic bag.
I quickly found the ointment and applied it to the wound on my left thigh. Because it has been soaked in water, the wound has ulcerated, accompanied by bursts of tingling pain.
Then, I took off all the life jackets and clothes on my body, and found that many places on my body were covered with all kinds of tiny sea creatures, and I threw my clothes on the ground, they were still squirming desperately, and they looked very scary.
I quickly found a garbage bag and packed it all in. Then I went to the bathroom and took a nice hot shower, and when I came out, I saw a new set of clothes on the shelf - this Captain Santa Claus is so attentive!
Putting on that sailor's suit, I lay on the soft bed, feeling a sense of relief all over my body, and the tiredness and fatigue accumulated over the days came over me in an instant.
Soon, I fell asleep.
……
In my sleep, I kept thinking about the chip, and over and over again, a shot appeared in the dream: I touched my pocket, found that the chip was gone, and then swam to the bottom of the sea, and among the shipwrecks and seaweed, I saw the shiny chip, and was about to reach for it, but found that there was a green-eyed monster next to me, staring at me!
Damn! What a monster this is! - I woke up from a dream!
I touched my forehead, sweating profusely. My hands and feet also began to feel swollen for a while.
I sat up from my bed and looked at the clock above, it was five o'clock in the morning. I struggled to my feet, opened the door, and looked out at the sea.
It's a sea that's so familiar!
Every morning, I was in the sea, watching the light of the morning light slowly shine through from the place where the sea and the sky meet...... Those confused and frightened mornings are still vivid. And now, I can stand on this big ship and look at the same scene as the other day, it is really unpredictable......
I guess Dr. Liu should know that I've been rescued, right? He can't get to my chip and will definitely contact the captain of the Danish ship - I'll call back later.
According to what Dr. Liu said before, after getting on this ship, you can sail through the Panama Canal in a few days, go to the sea off Venezuela, and reach that country - I really didn't expect that my seemingly smooth journey would also experience such ups and downs! Thankfully, there was only a delay of seven or eight days, and I can now move on with the rest of the journey! Qin Lingjin, just wait, I will appear in front of your eyes soon!
Thinking of this, I began to miss my elderly parents, wife and daughter infinitely...... These days, in the vast sea, when you are almost about to give up and are on the verge of despair, when you think of them, you can always survive them! For their sake, I must complete this difficult task!
……
At this time, I saw a tall man standing on the side of the railing next to me, who seemed to be one of those Nordic sailors, who was holding a cigarette, smoking slowly, looking at the sea level in the distance, thoughtfully.
I walked straight up to him and smiled at him.
He was smart enough to know right away and handed me a cigarette. I took it, lit it, and took a big puff - it was my first cigarette since I fell into the water! It's so refreshing!
I nodded to him and said thank you.
"I can speak a little bit of Chinese." He even spoke.
"Oh? That's great. I replied happily.
"Do you know why?" He then asked.
"Because...... Your wife is Chinese? I laughed.
"Ouch, you're so smart! You are right, my wife is from Fuzhou, China, and I wonder every day when I will be able to go back to see her when this trip will be over! His face was full of wistfulness.
"She's in Denmark?" I let out a puff of smoke.
"No, it's in Fuzhou. Actually, she's just my fiancée, and we're going to ...... I won't get married until next year! He spoke slowly.
"You really have the vision, you found Chinese wife to be your wife...... Your fiancée must be beautiful, right? I smiled.
"It's ...... Pretty! He grinned.
"After this trip, when I returned to Denmark, I immediately flew to Fuzhou to find her! Do you know? I've been on this ship for over a month, and I ...... I miss her! You know! He then said aloud.
"I understand......," I nodded.
"You are so brave, sir, that we all know about you both! In such a violent storm, it is unbelievable that it was blown into the air and fell into the sea, and it was unbelievable that it could survive after drifting for so many days! "He gave me a thumbs up.
"Nothing, just a little bit of luck. Especially when I met your ship! Thank you so much! I looked him in the eye.
"That'...... What's next for you? He asked.
"I'm going to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines." I was precise in saying the name of that country.
"Oh? What are you doing in that little place? But our ship was going to stop for the night in the harbor of Kingston, which was very busy at night, and I had been there many times...... Also met a chieftain, very cool and cool. He laughs.
"Chief?" My eyes lit up.
"Yes, there's a Caribbean chieftain there, he's so cheerful, every time I go to Kingston, I'll go to him for a drink! You go there to play, I can introduce him to you, with him as a local snake, everything is easy to do! He replied.
"Oh...... That's great. What's your name? My name is Qian Tangjiang. I held out my hand.
"My name is Johnson, that's a cool name, isn't it?" He laughed.
"It's so cool, it matches your body perfectly!" I patted him.
"How many people are there on your ship?" I suddenly wanted to ask.
"Thirty-two, most of them Romanians, only seven of them are us Danes...... How big was the boat you were on before? I guess you've unloaded and reloaded for the return trip, right? He replied.
I reached out to him and asked for a second cigarette.
"It's about the size of your ship, like twenty-five or sixteen. But...... Alas...... Oh, by the way, don't you have a saying that you can't have women working with you when you sail in the ocean? Otherwise, you will suffer a catastrophe? I frowned.
"I've heard that in my grandfather's time, what era is it now, and you still care about this?! There are five women on our boat, too! He wasn't impressed.
"Oooh. When you two of us were rescued, your captain already told me about the previous ship, right? I asked.
"This ...... I don't know yet. He shook his head.
I was lost in thought.
……
I blew the smoke out of my mouth vigorously, and a gust of sea breeze blew, and the smoke disappeared without a trace in an instant, just like our life of coming and going.
