Chapter 9: Weird
Xiaofeng said: "It's all cultural relics, and there are a lot of good things. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I picked two things, one is said to be from a black pot in Dingyuan County, Anhui Province, and the other is the sheepskin treasure map. The treasure map was hidden in a black jar, and I decided to ask for it as soon as I got it, and you know why. I felt like the other three families weren't paying much attention to me at the time, each picking up the loot. Later, everyone parted ways, and it wasn't until the attack on the Feifeng that I found out that I was still too tender, and the bottom line was that I lacked experience in the rivers and lakes, and I didn't know when I was targeted. ”
Seeing that she was still haunted by that time, I scratched Xiaofeng's hair to show comfort and asked, "Wupen?" What is a black pen? Or is it from Dingyuan County? Could it be that Bao Qingtian Wu Pen? ”
"Right!" Xiao Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked up and said with a smile: "I also think it's amazing, just a black basin, the size of a basketball, it's just too inconspicuous in so many treasures." I just feel like it's not the black pot attached to the black charcoal in the TV, so I'll take it away. However, I locked the black pot and the treasure map in my captain's quarters, and I was too late to bring them out after that attack, and now I am afraid that someone has snatched them. ”
I was a little confused, Xiaofeng sometimes thinks differently. So many treasures actually take a black black pot? This ruined girl, if you want me to be there, you have to vomit blood for him.
For the first time, I was under the splint of a ship, and I couldn't sleep with the excitement of the upcoming voyage. has been pestering Xiaofeng to chat with his subordinates, but their interest doesn't seem to be high. During this time, I learned a lot about pirates. For example, why did pirates wear blindfolds in ancient times, but modern bastards don't?
Blackie explained to me that in ancient times, sailors used to go in and out of two places under the pitch black deck, in bright sunlight. In this way, wearing an eye patch on one eye ensures that one eye can always adapt to the dark. In the event of a battle, the pirates must go below the pitch-black deck to fire their guns or switch to the battle, at which point the blindfold will be changed to the other side. You can restore your eyesight to fight.
I listened and nodded, but something didn't feel right. Just thinking about it, Ngawang corrected expressionlessly, no, the blindfold is basically worn by the captain. Speaking of which, I realized that something was wrong here. Because not all pirates in TV novels wear blindfolds. He went on to say that the captain is the absolute authority of a ship, so he should also point out the right direction to the whole ship. That is, at sea, the captain of the ship must determine the direction and target. The telescope and sextant are very useful, but in ancient times, the equipment was basically a single tube, and when using one eye to look at the sun for a long time, it would damage the eyes, and even blindness, so they would wear eye patches.
I asked some strange questions, all about the life of a pirate, and before I knew it, I looked up and was startled. Sunlight enters the wooden barn through the hermetically sealed round windows. As for why the windows on ships and planes are round, I have also learned to ask for advice, because the circle can effectively play a strong role, so that it can reduce damage as much as possible, and the circular opening is easier to bear the stress evenly.
It turned out that it was already dawn, and at this time the movement could already be heard from the ceiling, probably because the sailors of the Huang Yueying were starting to get busy. What worries me a little is that I can usually hear the barking of Danbao even if I am not on the shore, but now it is still lying depressed behind the wooden pillar, and it is quite sluggish.
Xiao Feng rubbed his eyes, looked at the sky outside the window and said, "Let's hide behind the piled cargo sacks first, and there are sailors to feed Danbao food at this time." ”
I nodded, and a few of them had just gotten out of their bodies. I heard the wooden floor outside the wooden barn, making a 'squeak' sound. It seemed that someone was coming, and for a while several people held their breath, listening to the movement that someone was coming, and the person did not speak, only heard the sound of 'clanging'. The iron basin should be pushed to the edge of the egg treasure with a hooked pole, the water mastiff is fierce and abnormal, and if it is not the order of the owner, it will be aggressive to anyone. So I guess the people who feed don't dare to get too close.
I could see through the cracks in the pile of goods that the egg baby was still lying there, and I couldn't see the man due to the angle and light, only a pole pushing the iron basin to the edge of the column. It suddenly occurred to me that the condition of the egg baby was probably caused by what the feeding person had done. I leaned closer to the best gap to see what the man had done besides feeding. When I looked at it, I was stupid, because I saw a pole fixed in mid-air out of thin air, like a magician's trick in the air, and then there was no one holding the pole at all.
I couldn't believe my eyes, how could such an evil thing happen? Rubbing his eyes, he looked again, and there was really no one there. I widened my eyes and didn't dare to make a sound, so I patted Xiaofeng beside me and motioned for her to come over and have a look. She inexplicably leaned over and looked through the crack, and suddenly she was stunned for a moment, and then her face was full of incredulity.
Then I asked Ngawang and the three of them to come and see, and they looked at us with expressionless faces and some doubts. I pushed them away and approached the gap again, and my eyes were straight to see that there was no pole there. I whispered, "What the hell, did you all see it just now?" ”
Xiao Feng nodded and said in surprise: "I saw a pole out of thin air!" There was no one behind the pole. ”
Sure enough, we both saw the same thing. If it's a hallucination, it's impossible for both people to have hallucinations, right? But the other three said they didn't see anything. Ngawang also questioned that because the light was too dim, there was actually a man in black standing there, and the voice looked like no one and it was black?
This may be the case, but one thing doesn't make sense, because even if a person is dressed in black, he always has to hold the pole in his palm, right? But I remember very well that the pole was empty, and there was nothing. Even if the man was wearing black gloves, he could see the outline of his grip on the pole.
"Click! Click! ”
Just when I was puzzled, I heard the sound of metal rubbing, which was the sound of anchoring. This means that the ship is about to set sail. The excitement of going out to sea woke me up, and there was nothing more joyful than this, and I was thrown out of the clouds by that strange pole out of thin air, you must know that this was the first time in 30 years that I had seen the sea through the window of a ship!
The whistle of Huang Yueying's departure echoed in every corner. The sound sounded like thunder in my head, something I had been thinking about in my dreams since I was a child. Once upon a time, I dreamed countless times of standing in my own boat, holding the sail and shouting loudly.
For a moment the whole ship seemed to boil, and there was a roar above our heads, and I could imagine the sailors, bare-chested, toiling in the morning sun.
The excitement lasted for a long time, and I stared out the window at the endless sea, with the occasional few small fish jumping out of the sea, and seabirds falling in the air, all of which made me happy. I didn't feel hungry until noon.
Xiaofeng said in my ear at this time: "I have been sailing for five hours, and I have studied the direction of my mother's voyage. I was right, the Huang Yueying was heading in the direction of the accident on my Feifeng. ”
Ngawang reminded me: "The departure from Wenzhou Port is about 500 nautical miles away from the place where our Feifeng incident occurred, which is equivalent to more than 900 kilometers, and it is estimated that it will take 17 hours, and it should arrive in the early hours of tomorrow morning."
In fact, 900 kilometers is really not far, and it takes ten hours to get on the highway by car. Of course, there is no comparison between a car and a ship, one on land and the other in the sea, which is equivalent to making a lion more ferocious than a shark.
Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, we had been in this dim wooden warehouse for more than ten hours, and I don't know why I looked at the blue sea outside the ship, and I thought it was a good thing to stay for as long as I wanted. At this time, Xiaofeng gestured his fingers to me and whispered, "Don't speak, the one who delivered the food to Danbao is here." ”
Raising water mastiffs is very particular, can not let the food too full for fear that it is not active when there is a task, nor can it be fed too little to affect the task play, it is best to have two meals in the morning and evening, so someone will come at this time. The sound of "clacking" came from the wooden floor outside the wooden barn, which was a little strange to me when I listened closely, because the sound was similar to that of high heels stepping on the floor, which was even more surprising.
How could it be a woman?
Historically, it has been explicitly stated that women cannot be carried on pirate ships, and there are several different versions of the theory. One theory is that pirates were mostly superstitious and believed that women would bring storms and shipwrecks, but this is nonsense. If there is a disaster for a woman on the boat, she will fight with other people's real knives and guns, and stuff a woman into the cannon and blast it over, so that they will have nothing to do after they finish playing?
In fact, the most reliable way to say it, I think is that the muddy waters have always emphasized unity throughout the ages, and both modern and ancient times often compared 'we are in the same boat' to unity. This is especially true on pirate ships, where disunity can lead to disputes and even brawls. A large ship of nearly a hundred sailors with strong blood and strength had not even seen a woman for months. A woman is equal to having more monks and less meat, which can easily cause violent conflicts.
Of course, it's different if the captain is a woman, there was a famous female pirate leader Zheng Shi in ancient China, who was cruel and rewarded and punished. The pirates he led numbered hundreds of ships alone, making him a prominent party. It is undeniable that sometimes women are leaders, and it is easier for pirates to unite when they are strong and soft.
Speaking of Zheng Shi's family, what I have to say is that her descendants are also the leaders of the party in modern times. However, it is a very serial drama, but the Shi family and our Fang family have a feud. There is no way to prosecute the origin of hatred, maybe it is that a certain ancestor of our family has abandoned others from the beginning to the end, and he flashed after eating, and he may have formed this beam.
Xiaofeng looked at me in amazement. Because she was a captain herself. Spotting a woman on a pirate ship is as surprising as seeing a giant panda on the street. We hid behind sacks and peered through the cracks in the doorway. I thought to myself, could it be that my mother came down herself? But it's unlikely, my mother was almost isolated from the world when she entered the captain's room, unless the ship was out of position, or he was in command of a major accident. Otherwise, general things will be ordered to be handled by the first mate, and there will be two and three deputy officers. Usually she will nest in the captain's room to apply a mask, watch Korean dramas, and it is impossible to come to the wooden warehouse, and Danbao is not very cold to my mother, but she listens to the words of the first mate.
The sound of the tall shoes paused at the door, but there was no one to be seen.
This scene is really weird, a dark wooden warehouse, there is no figure, there is no movement, and I always feel that there are people in that place.
We hid quietly, and we didn't dare to take a breath in the air. Suddenly, the sound of "clattering" resounded in the wooden barn, and it sounded like a ghost to me.
