Chapter 1698: The Strange Man on the Cruise (1)
There are also the most expensive staterooms, which are not for the average person. It is said to be very luxurious, and the number is extremely rare. The price is different for each position. The higher you live from deck, the more expensive it is.
I pulled Niu Niu, went to the deck, and followed the room number on the ticket all the way up. The elderly people below were chattering and shouting, very curious. Many old people even go out for the first time in their lives, and everything they see feels fresh.
Small cruises have the benefits of small cruises, there are not many tourists, and once you go upstairs it is quiet.
The room we booked was on the third floor, warehouse 303. Niuniu seemed to have completely forgotten the conversation she had just had with me, yelling for me to swipe open the hatch with the access card and happily run in.
I didn't rush into the room. I put my hand on the armrest and looked into the distance.
The pier of the Fire City is very noisy, standing at a height of more than ten meters, everything is in full view. The black-pressed man under his feet squirmed from the passage to the deck like a building block. The dark night, blowing a terrible wind, like countless ghosts wailing.
I shuddered, and for some reason, I felt something lurking in the ship, silent. It's as if everyone who sets foot on a cruise ship has been marked. Just like the live pigs dragged in from the slaughterhouse, the skin is burned with a hot red iron, and the word 'qualified' is scorched.
Shaking my head with a wry smile, I secretly laughed at how I could have such an outrageous imagination. Forget it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and since you have already got on the boat, don't think too much about it now.
Could that mysterious M be on the ship? And the girl who looks like Shi Yueying, is this really just a coincidence?
I was very concerned, and at this moment, Niu Niu, who was still cheering in the room just now, suddenly screamed!
Hearing the screams, he subconsciously touched the pistol hidden in his clothes and rushed into the open hatch. The first class cabin on a small cruise ship is always the same, similar to a hotel standard room. Two single beds, a wardrobe, and a small bathroom.
Niu Niu was half-crouching on the boat near the window, with her back to me, looking out the window.
"What's wrong?" I nervously scanned the environment and found no danger. Only then did he ask quietly.
Little Lori didn't turn her head, but beckoned to me: "Brother, come and see." ”
I walked over and approached the window and looked through the glass. In the dark night, outside the window is the turbulent Yangtze River water, and the night renders everything dirty and blurry. The occasional light leaking out of the pier can shoot far away, but it can only widen the line of sight only slightly, and you can see the faint outline of the distant mountains on the other side of the Yangtze River.
"Nothing." I shook my head and signaled that it was okay.
Little Lori got up in a hurry and pointed down: "Below, on the deck." Look there's another weirdo. ”
I lowered my head, and then froze.
The seating arrangement of the small cruise ship is generally oval, and we live in a position with the dock at the back. The deck on the first floor under the room, which also belongs to the back of the dock entrance, is relatively less crowded. Several old people of the Sunset Red Tour Group had already entered the cabin door, and the noise had faded a lot.
There's a weirdo down there. To say that he is a strange person is really not to wronged him. Judging by the clothes, this person should be male, not very old. But although the weather has entered autumn, the temperature in Fire City still does not fall below 30 degrees. This guy is wearing many down jackets layer after layer, and his body is fully propped up into a ball, which is very weird.
"That uncle isn't afraid of the heat, isn't he?" Niu Niu was puzzled.
I narrowed my eyes: "Maybe it's sick." ”
"Afraid of cold?" Niuniu shook her little head: "I think that uncle, something is not quite right." There was a breath of death in him. Yes, it's dead air! ”
I lowered my head again and looked at the spherical man. The man moved slowly, and the heavy clothes on his body were noticeably slowing down his pace. The man didn't even bring any luggage except what he was wearing. Empty-handed, the moving steps are very rhythmic.
Yes, as Niu Niu said, he walks like a zombie and lacks life.
"And that uncle's shadow is so scary!" Little Lori said hesitantly.
The shadow of the man, there is nothing strange about it. At least I don't see anything weird. The light above his head shone on the man, and the dark shadow seemed to be like a ball.
"What were you just screaming?" I asked, "Because of this weirdo?" ”
Niuniu nodded seriously: "Yes, it's this uncle." His shadow scared Niu Niu. ”
Little Lori's little face turned pale, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying. But no matter how I look at it, I can't see the spherical shadow, where is the blame. I touched her head and looked at my phone.
Twelve o'clock in the morning, ten o'clock.
"I'm ready to go to bed, and there's no beautiful scenery at night." I commanded, send Niu Niu to take a bath. I turned around and packed my luggage.
The Oriental Cruises, which had fallen into a calm state, suddenly let out a few sharp whistles, shook slightly, and then finally left the dock and headed for the deep channel.
I stopped what I was doing and subconsciously walked to the window to look.
The dark night sky flowed at speed, and the faint sound of breaking water echoed before falling silent.
"Hello passengers, this Oriental Cruise will travel for eight days, passing through 4 major cities and 28 attractions. Please refer to the tour itinerary attached to each cabin for the exact duration of the tour. I'm Captain Zou Hui and I'm glad to serve you. ”
After the usual greetings, the Oriental Cruise was asleep and sailed down the Yangtze River.
That night, I slept fairly well. But no one guessed that it was almost everyone, and finally a comfortable night's sleep!
The midnight wind was howling, and the cries of unknown animals were heard from time to time on both sides of the quiet Yangtze River. With the whistles of the ships reflecting each other, the noisy noise is actually very comfortable.
I slept straight into the sun and didn't wake up until Niu Niu shook my head and screamed hungry.
I ran to the restaurant and ordered some breakfast, but I was still dizzy and didn't wake up. Human beings really need travel to dilute their inner anxiety. Even if it has a certain purpose, after all, tourism with a purpose is still tourism. Sitting by the window, drinking porridge and side dishes, eating a few bites of steamed buns.
My gaze fell unfocused on the river outside the window.
The surging river water, with the turbidity of the Yangtze River that has not changed for thousands of years, flows through the hull of the ship. Just looking at the flow of water, you can feel the peace of mind.
