Chapter 500: A Journey at Sea
The hull shook slightly, then slowly stabilized again. Ding Qin could feel that the surge was becoming more and more obvious, indicating that the ship had entered the sea.
After a while, he and Mei Qing walked out of the cabin together. The land was moving away from them, and looking ahead, there was only a deep blue ocean.
The boatman was packing up his things on the deck, and when he saw Ding Qin and Mei Qing coming out, he couldn't help but smile, "You guys have nothing to do, and we're all ready, so let's leave early." At sea, it is estimated that it will take five or six days to reach the fishing grounds in Stinky Bay, and during this time, there is nothing special. If you want to experience fishing at sea to pass the time, there are rods and bait on the back deck. ”
Ding Qin naturally had no interest in fishing, but Mei Qing still seemed to be more ambitious, and ran to the back deck with a grin. But it didn't take long for her to come back with a depressed expression, and she sat down on a small wooden stool next to her, dragging her cheeks with her hands, "It's not fun." There are no fish to bite at all. ”
"It's not that easy." If we were so easy to fish, would we be able to get by the way we are now? Going to sea is not only a matter of skill, but also of luck. We went out for half a month at least and two months at most, and every time it was a kind of torment. ”
"So, what do you rely on to pass the time?" asked Mei Qing.
The boatman laughed, "Well, it's nothing." Think for yourselves. Everyone is different, and I can't help you. ”
Mei Qing's face showed obvious disappointment. She turned her gaze to the sea, "I'd love to get to Stinkskin Bay sooner." ”
For an afternoon, none of the four people on the boat had any more communication. The two boatmen had been sorting through the ship's belongings until it was getting dark, and they had cooked a simple meal, in addition to rice, there were also two kinds of fish that had been improvised from the sea.
However, the taste of this fish is extremely delicious by them. may also be because he has already embarked on the trip, Ding Qin's appetite has improved a lot, and he has added two meals.
After dark, there was no more scenery to see on the deck, so Ding Qin and Mei Qing returned to the cabin. Due to the fixed wind direction and the stable currents, the boatman did not have to stay at the helm and returned to the cabin.
At night, sharing a room with an unfamiliar strange girl, Ding Qin still felt extremely uncomfortable. Of course, he would not sleep in the same bed with Mei Qing, but on the floor, he cleaned up a vacant lot, took out his belongings from his Lingna stone belt, and made a simple bunk.
Since there was nothing to do, Ding Qin straightened out the matter about Mei Qing again. Later, he thought that there was another question that he hadn't asked clearly, so he said, "Mei Qing." ”
"Huh?" Mei Qing seemed to be waiting for Ding Qin to talk to her about something, and immediately responded, "What's wrong?"
Ding Qin said, "I remember, when you were walking from the passenger terminal to the fishing boat terminal, you said that your enemy was here. What's going on? If you go out to sea from the fishing dock like this, will they follow?"
Mei Qing put the book down, "Actually, it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is an enemy. None of them are enemies. A son who should be called a wrongdoer, the son of the citizen of Qixingyu County, Nanhai County, has always wanted to associate with me, but I have always disagreed, so he often follows me. Once, I said that I had a sweetheart, and he said, then bring someone out to show him. ”
"I found him in the crowd at that moment, so I borrowed you to deceive him. Actually, I didn't do it right. I don't know if the follow-up will cause you trouble. It is said that this son of the citizen of Qixingyu County is a narrow-minded person. ”
Mei Qing sighed, "Later, when I got on the boat, I saw that when you used the shield, the power was also average, so I regretted it a little." Well, if this person really gets you in trouble, I'll help you settle it. ”
Ding Qin did not comment on this. Of course he knew he might be in trouble, but it was useless to say anything now. "What about the other one?"
"The other, the other is actually a devotional who wants my dad to make weapons for him. Because of his bad deeds and the fact that he had not behaved so decently, my father turned him down. Since then, he has been following me and trying to use me to blackmail my father. It's just that since his cultivation is comparable to mine, he is the third level of spiritual power, so he doesn't dare to act rashly, and he is always observing in secret, trying to find an opportunity to start again. ”
Mei Qing said and put her hand on her cheek again, "I don't know if you understand this feeling of being followed all the time. Anyway, I'm so annoyed that I'm worried every day. ”
"I know. I've been being stalked. Ding Qin couldn't help but think of the situation a few days ago when the Nine Turnstile and Ruyi Fang followed behind.
"Is it? who is following you? is it also an enemy, or is it a romantic debt you owe?" Mei Qing seemed very interested in this.
"Neither. Just some people who are interested in me. Ding Qin didn't want to say more, because he didn't want to casually mention the Nine Turnstile and Ruyi Fang.
Mei Qing is very persistent, "Then why are they interested in you, and what are they interested in you?"
Ding Qin shook his head and directly choked this conversation. "Don't talk about it again. I haven't finished asking yet. Is it possible for these two people to follow?"
A slight disappointment flashed in Mei Qing's eyes, "Okay, if you don't mention it, you won't mention it." Then again, these two people, if they knew where I was going, would definitely follow. Especially that Sheng Jingwang, that is, the son of the people of Qixingyu, absolutely wants to show his so-called heartfelt feelings when he goes to the place I go, and what will he say to protect me secretly when I see it. ”
"Hmph. Mei Qing snorted disdainfully with her nose, "Who used him to protect me." There were a few times when I encountered a robber, but I rescued him. As a result, I was just starting from morality, but he was fine, thinking that I was still interested in him, and he was even more shameless. ”
Ding Qin didn't speak again. He probably thought about it, if these two people saw Mei Qing and himself going to sea from the fishing boat wharf, and then thought about Mei Qing's family background and the current situation in Honglang County, they would definitely be able to judge that they were heading to the stinky Bay fishing ground. In this way, if they are not afraid of danger, they can easily arrive on another ship.
Hopefully there won't be a delay in the trip because of these two people. Ding Qin silently recited a few words in his heart.
After nightfall, Mei Qing didn't talk to Ding Qin anymore, she leaned on the bed, just turned on the light, and didn't know what she was reading. Judging from her behavior, although she talks about many things easily, in fact, her ability to accept behavior is also limited, such as being alone with Ding Qin.
Ding Qin turned his back to her and slowly cultivated by himself there.
But it wasn't long before the next cabin suddenly heard a cry from the ship's family.
Mei Qing reacted the most sensitively, jumping directly from the bed, "What sound?"
Ding Qin also opened his eyes and carefully distinguished.
The sound was intermittent, sometimes loud and sometimes small, very irregular, and mixed with a slight tremor that did not seem to come out under normal circumstances.
"You stay here, I'll take a look. If anything happens, you run first. Mei Qing said, gently extinguishing the light in the cabin and tiptoeing out.
Ding Qin also raised his vigilance. Because he didn't feel any spiritual power fluctuations. What's more, this is the sea. If it is true that there is an outsider on the ship who controls the ship, then this person's cultivation will be considerable.
Not long after Mei Qing went out, the boatman's voice suddenly raised, "Ahh......hh
Ding Qin couldn't help frowning. Could it be that something really happened on board?
However, with a long sigh from the boatman and her husband at the same time, the whole boat was calm.
Soon, Mei Qing also returned. She was as light as when she went out, went to the table, lit the lamp, and then sat down on the bed very unhappily, without looking at Ding Qin, and tilted her head to the side.
Ding Qin didn't know why, and asked, "What is the situation?"
Mei Qing snorted dissatisfiedly, "What's the situation?" Husbands and wives are doing husband and wife business. ”
After speaking, she turned her body to the side again, trying to avoid Ding Qin.
When Ding Qin heard her say this, he suddenly felt a little hot on his face. This ship's family too, but there are still people in the other cabin, why don't you know how to be quiet......
The two were silent for a while, and they went their separate ways, one reading a book and the other practicing. However, after about an hour, the next door started to call again.
This time, Ding Qin and Mei Qing were even more embarrassed. Mei Qing simply spread out the quilt and got into it with her head covered. Ding Qin could only forcibly calm his mind and not be disturbed by this sound.
However, apparently this time, the two of them were much louder and longer than they had just been.
Ding Qin thought that after this time, the night would be late and he would be able to sleep peacefully. Who knows, at midnight, the sound rises again. After a few hours of calm, before dawn, the cries were even louder.
On the sea, it was quiet at night, and the sound was estimated to be 100 meters away.
After a whole night, Ding Qin barely slept well. He now understands why the two of them insist on not separating the position.
At the same time, he also understood the boatman's explanation of how to pass the time at sea. It seems that this is their aspect of relieving their emotions, and they really can't help Ding Qin and Mei Qing.
When it was time for breakfast, Ding Qin and Mei Qing felt a little unnatural when they saw the two of them. But these two people seemed to be fine, especially the boatman, who felt even more refreshed. And her husband didn't have the slightest tiredness on his face.
After breakfast, Ding Qin and Mei Qing both seemed to have been amnestied, and they returned to the cabin to make up for another sleep. But surprisingly, within two hours, before noon, the sound of this particular cry was heard again.
Mei Qing couldn't hold her breath this time, and threw the quilt away, "Damn, don't let people live!" and then raised her voice, "I said you two, can you be quiet!"
Unexpectedly, not only was the voice not smaller, but it became more intense, and men and women sang together. The sound of high and low waves filled almost every corner of the ship, and it lasted for a long time.
"Oh my God!" Mei Qing covered her ears with her hands and ran out directly.
