Chapter 190: The Fishing Boat Sets Sail (Part II)
No matter how strong a person is, he can't compete with nature.
After getting out of the cabin, Lin Daxiong has been standing on the deck and pondering, this fishing boat is really bottomless, but since it has come to this point, if he turns back halfway, I am afraid that he will be the first to refuse, besides...... Corpse Jade is the only one who can uncover the mystery of a qiē, and if he retreats today, this kind of opportunity will not be there again in the future.
Especially when I saw the tiger carrying that Li Sheng's short knife, my heart was even more uncomfortable, and now there are still many questions that have no answers, and we must not give up halfway!
After thinking about it, Lin Daxiong decided to repair the fishing boat as perfectly as possible, so he gave it a shot!
Because the deck part needs to go up the mountain to cut wood, the transportation back and forth is individual work, so the tiger does it alone. Lin Daxiong and Bai Qing were in charge of finding suitable vines and weaving them together to act as sails. And Ye Zhiliu herself has a poor physique, she doesn't know Taoism, and she has no martial arts foundation, so she can only stay on the fishing boat to take care of Li San.
The plan was to get these things in place before dark, but by nightfall, the hole in the deck had been sealed by the tiger with pieces of wood, and the sail had not been finished.
Because considering that the characteristics of vines and hemp fabrics are too different, rough weaving is inevitably not firm, so Lin Daxiong and Bai Qing took it as carefully as knitting a sweater.
I don't know if as a person in the 21st century, accustomed to seeing cruise ships, the first time I see the ancient ship, I will inevitably feel that it is unreliable, Lin Daxiong after looking at it, I feel that it is not as dilapidated as I imagined.
In the middle of the night, in order to test whether there were cracks in the hull, Lin Daxiong asked the tiger to try to loosen the anchor and keep the fishing boat away from the coast, only to find that after such a long period of erosion, the hull was actually well preserved, and there was no problem after traveling more than 50 meters.
After returning to the shore and tightening the anchor, Lin Daxiong sat on a reef and watched the tiger fish in the shallows, and couldn't help but direct his mind to the two strings of numbers. This time, he still thought about it for a long time without an answer, and just when he was about to give up, he suddenly remembered an outrageous method that Li Sheng had used a few years ago.
He arranged the Tibetan poem according to the four monosyllables of Chinese characters, replaced them with the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 in turn, and then used the quaternary code to decipher, and finally guessed the name "Lin Dakun".
For example, the first sentence at the beginning of the Tibetan poem is: "The second concubine is resentful", which can be turned into the number "4144111", but no matter how you try, this method does not match the two numbers of "2144" and "33414".
In desperation, I had to give up my current conjecture about numbers. Lin Daxiong jumped from the reef to the shore, and saw that the tiger had already put the fish on the bonfire to barbecue, so he thought in his heart that maybe he was just too sensitive, and these two strings of numbers did not match him at all, so he walked over and smelled the fragrance of the fish, and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
"Is this fish fresh?" Ye Zhiliu suddenly asked inexplicably.
The tiger glared at her, and said angrily: "It's fresh, you can eat it with confidence!" ”
"Don't you think it's strange?" Bai Qing sat on the side, his little face red from the fire.
Lin Daxiong picked a piece of grilled brown fish, put it to his nose and smelled it, and said strangely: "What's strange?" ”
Bai Qing paused, and before he could speak, Ye Zhiliu preemptively said: "The water quality had a sour smell before, but now it is back to normal, and the layer of dead fish floating on the surface of the water is gone." ”
After she said this, Lin Daxiong subconsciously looked at the water, indeed as she said, the dead fish on the surface of the water inexplicably disappeared at the moment, and the fish that the tiger pricked up did not have any strange taste, the meat was very tender, "What's the fuss, the water is flowing, it may have risen too much, and the sour water has flowed away." ”
"Brother Lin, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, where does the sour water come from?" Bai Qing also picked a string of fish meat, put it to his mouth and took a small bite.
As soon as this question was raised, everyone fell into a deep thought, but in the end there was no definite answer. After everyone finished eating the grilled fish, the tiger left two for Li San to send, and then followed Nobita into one of the houses.
There are only four rooms in total, Li San preconceived the biggest one, and the remaining three Lin Daxiong is not easy to grab with the little girl, so he can only sleep in the same bed with the tiger.
The bedding here has been moldy and insecta, and it is still out when the tiger tidies up the room, so there is nothing to keep warm, and the change of clothes in the bag comes in handy at this time.
Early the next morning, the tiger got up early, put up the sails that had been woven in advance, and originally planned to tie a few more fish for breakfast, but who expected that the water quality changed again, and this time there were more dead fish floating on the surface of the water than before, and almost all the places within ten feet of the shore were dead fish.
After Lin Daxiong got up, he stood on the deck and looked into the distance, and suddenly found that the reef he was sitting on before had risen from the water, which was originally less than one meter above the water, but now it was more than two feet high.
"Damn, it's wrong!" Nobita screamed, and when Bai Qing and Ye Zhiliu got up, he didn't talk nonsense and directly let the tiger release the anchor and start the official journey.
As the fishing boat gradually moved away from the shore with the wind, everyone gasped in unison, and the anchor was thrown, and then it was time to test the hull and sails.
Lin Daxiong knew that this trip might experience unexpected dangers, so he borrowed rune paper from Li San in advance and drew various talismans in his room in case of emergency. At this moment, seeing the appearance of the mountain peak gradually drifting away, Nobita has no bottom in his heart.
"Dude, you must hold on, everyone's lives are in your hands." Lin Daxiong stretched out his hand and touched the stake of the sail, and said with a wry smile.
This sentence made Bai Qing and the others relax a lot, and the uneasiness turned into excitement in an instant, because everyone present was going to sea for the first time, and they were full of curiosity about the qiē under their eyes.
Even at this time, Li San was still lying in his room and did not come out. Lin Daxiong saw that it was normal now, so he beckoned the others back to the cabin, "Let's go in, it's windy outside." As he spoke, he was about to walk in the direction of the wooden door, but just as he took a step, he suddenly felt someone poke him from behind.
Looking back, it turned out to be a tiger, Lin Daxiong frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The tiger sneakily glanced at Bai Qing and Ye Zhiliu, leaned over and whispered, "Master, have you found this ship weird?" ”
When Lin Daxiong heard this, he secretly leaned back, and said gloomily: "This fucking boat is gone, you are saying it's weird!" Why didn't you say it just now? ”
"A little bit...... Whisper. The tiger squeezed his eyes at Nobita, signaled that Bai Qing and the two were present, and then pulled Nobita back to the deck, and waited until they entered the wooden house before he said slowly: "There is no problem with the ship, I mean the cabin." ”
"Cabin?" Lin Daxiong didn't understand what he meant, so he asked, "What's wrong with the cabin?" ”
The tiger glanced left and right, and was about to speak in Nobita's ear, but was pushed by Lin Daxiong, "There is no one else here, you just said it generously." ”
"You don't like me to call you master, so I'll call you master in the future, okay?" The tiger smiled and said lightly.
Hearing this inappropriate sentence, combined with the tiger's big face, Lin Daxiong really wanted to slap him, but he still gritted his teeth and held back, "Call it as much as you like." Let's start by talking about what's wrong with the cabin. ”
"Yes, master!" The tiger grinned, and suddenly said with a stern expression: "As far as I know, there is only a hundred years difference between the age here and the era when I existed in my previous life, but the craftsmanship of the dockyard should not have improved so quickly." ”
Lin Daxiong nodded slightly and didn't say anything, not understanding what he wanted to express, so he had to listen to him quietly: "It's the first time I've seen such a large cabin, what I mean is ...... I heard that in the master's time, there were already big yachts or something, and I felt that this fishing boat was a little out of the current science. ”
"A big yacht?" Lin Daxiong was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, Tiger and Zhu San have been together for so long, it is possible to hear some new terms.
"Master......" The tiger swallowed it raw again.
"What do you think of and say, how do big men twist and pinch?"
The tiger looked at Nobita, as if he had made up a lot of determination, and lowered his voice and said, "I think that the Ghost Domain may be a modern metropolis!" ”
Hearing this sentence coldly, Lin Daxiong was shocked in his heart, looked around the water and scolded: "Why the hell do you think that? What exactly did you find? ”
"Actually, last night, when the white girl said that there was a problem with the water quality, I noticed the problem." The tiger uncharacteristically became a think tank, and said with his chin in his hand: "In the past, Zhu Daochang told me a lot of things in your time, if I remember correctly, the thing that will affect the change of water quality is called a chemical factory, and then you think about how heavy this cabin is, such a large scale can actually float on the water, this kind of science is unheard of by me!" ”
Looking at the tiger's expression, he was very serious, obviously paying attention to this detail for a long time. Lin Daxiong listened to it one by one, and it was not unreasonable to think about it.
The fact that this fishing boat is docked here is a big problem.
First of all, ordinary fishermen would not have come to this place at all, and secondly, the group of people who walked in front of their group did not have the time and energy to get such a behemoth. So there's only one possibility, and that's that there is a group of people living in the vicinity who are well-versed in shipbuilding technology, who make a living from fishing and probably have their own docks.
And the problem of the size of the cabin mentioned by the tiger can actually be ignored, because the technology of the Republic of China can reach this point, but it is the chemical factory that is thought-provoking, Lin Daxiong pondered it carefully, and was about to speak, only to see a huge black shadow approaching on the far horizon......
