Chapter Twenty-Seven: Taking the Pearls
The carp held a fish-killing knife, and his hands were bloody and turned over the forehead of the ghost crab, just when everyone couldn't stand the violent smell, his expression changed, and the two fingers of his right hand were put together, making a gesture of picking out, and then, a red thing was pulled out by him, and rolled to the ground.
It was a round thing, covered in a blood-red membrane. I used to sell fish and kill seafood and other things, but I never knew that there would be such a round lump in the head of an octopus.
Is there really a bead?
Duan Fei covered her mouth, her little face changed color, and said, "It seems that I can't eat lunch today, A-Ying, what is our lunch?" β
Ah Ying said: "The original plan was to make an iron plate octopus, but now I don't think you can eat it, so I temporarily changed it to a big mackerel stewed with potatoes." β
Tofu said bitterly: "It's this again, I've been eating it since I got on the boat." β
A-Ying smiled and said, "There are only these two choices, or shall we still eat the iron plate octopus?" β
I waved my hand and said, "Don't talk about eating, let's stew potatoes." Then I squatted down and picked up the lump, I wasn't too afraid of dirty, I used to kill seafood.
The lump of flesh was hard in his hand, as if something had been wrapped in it. I immediately tried to tear the flesh film on the surface, and when the red flesh film was torn open, a burst of precious light came out in a flash, and I only felt dazzled, and the rest of the ship was also amazed.
The burst of treasure flickered for a moment, and then faded to the brilliance, and when I looked at it, it was a round pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, milky white in color, like a pearl, and the texture was more transparent than a pearl, and under the light of the ship's lamp, it flowed with dazzling brilliance. I've been with Xiao Jing to a lot of jewelry stores before, and I've never seen such an eye-catching treasure, and the brilliance of that thing is intertwined with the bloody flesh on my hands, forming a strange contrast.
The carp himself didn't expect it, and his speech was a little trembling: "There are really beads, it's so dangerous, it's good that I didn't throw it down directly, it seems that the things handed down by the ancestors still make sense." "Hurry up and dissect another ghost worm, with the experience of the last time, I found out the location of the spirit bead, and sure enough, it didn't take long for me to take out another bead, which was bigger than the one in my hand.
At this moment, it is the eve of dawn, gray in all directions, only the skyline is very far away, revealing a line of orange, these two pearls reflect each other in the dawn, the treasure light, breathtaking, it took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses.
The carp was a little excited, and said, "I've bumped into the baby, if these two things are sold...... Then I'll send it. β
Tofu came back to his senses when he heard this, and said, "Hey, hey, what's wrong." β
He took the two beads and handed them to the first person of the machine, and said, "The pirate ship was the four of them who risked their lives, and the ghost worm was also killed by them, and the seniors can't be lined up on your head." He has always spoken openly, and the carp was suddenly anxious, but it was expected that what Tofu said was reasonable, and he couldn't find a rebuttal, his expression was anxious and embarrassed, and his mouth was haha.
I didn't find the tofu, but I saw that the corner of the carp's mouth twitched fiercely, and the flesh on the cheeks tightened, thinking that there was some kind of anger, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: A boatload of people was fine before, but now the sharp word is the head, and there is a gap.
There is nothing wrong with the saying of tofu, that thing was originally obtained by a few people, even if they don't want it, it should be counted on me and tofu, but the benefits of this thing are like this, everyone feels that they should share a little. Tofu is not greedy, and acts according to reason, but he doesn't know that he has offended people.
If you are not afraid of enemies like wolves, you are afraid of teammates like pigs.
Fortunately, the bald four didn't value this thing, but handed it over to Professor Lin, to the effect that it was going to be confiscated. Professor Lin helped his glasses, put away the things cautiously, and said, "I only know about mussel beads, this kind of pearl production is indeed rare, these two things are very valuable for research." β
In an instant, the carp slapped its bloody hands and threw the corpses of the two ghost moths into the sea. Everyone this night can be described as thrilling, at this moment the sky is about to dawn, hungry and sleepy, A-Ying Zhang Luo boiled a pot of food, everyone did not have the heart to talk, quickly finished eating, then covered their heads and fell asleep to replenish the consumption of the night.
I woke up and looked at my watch, and I slept for eight hours, from five o'clock in the morning to one o'clock in the afternoon, and my mind and body recovered.
When he got to the bow of the ship, he saw Ah Ying in the command room, sitting in front of a row of modern operating equipment to control the ship, while the rest of the people were still sleeping, and the carp was also replaced.
I didn't have much to do, so I lit a cigarette and sat next to A-Ying to watch her operate, chatting casually.
Not long after, A-Ying suddenly said, "It seems that the sky is about to change." Following her gaze, looking through the transparent glass front desk, she saw that the sky outside had been covered with a layer of clouds at some point, and it seemed that it was going to rain.
I nodded and said, "In the marine environment, changing your face is as fast as flipping through a book." "A-Ying is probably tired, yawned, her eyes watery, I thought about her as a woman, I haven't slept for a long time, I watched it for a while, most of them are pre-set navigation programs, and I have mastered most of them, so I let her rest, I help watch.
Ah Ying smiled gratefully when she heard this, gave up her position, explained to me the basic operation of the command platform, and yawned and went back to the lounge.
It was one o'clock at noon, and the summer was supposed to be the hottest time for the sun, but at the moment the sky was overcast, and the air was a little stuffy, and the whole ship, except for me, was resting, and had nothing to do. This time the sea was not very smooth, and I don't know if Tang Jiangze's ghost is still on the ship.
According to the navigation, at this speed, we will be able to reach the coast of the Bohai Sea in five hours and twenty-six minutes.
While thinking about it, I looked at the sea and sky outside, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong. The weather outside was a little dark, and it was darker than when I was talking to A-Ying just now. Although Shenzhen is a city close to the sea, the coastline is blocked when the sea changes, so I have no experience to judge whether such weather is normal or not.
The thin dark clouds that had covered the sky like thick ink, and there was no longer a ray of sunlight, and they hung low against the sea, giving me the feeling that the sky and the earth had never been as close as they are now, and there was a feeling that they were about to collapse.
Just as I was wondering if the weather was normal, Tofu came up from the lounge kicking his slippers, looked outside, and said, "Looks like it's going to rain." As soon as the words fell, a purple lightning bolt slashed through the dark clouds, and in an instant, a dazzling brilliance erupted, and the whole world suddenly brightened up, and fell into darkness violently.
Accompanied by lightning, a rumbling thunder sounded in the clouds, one after another, and it was a whole piece, which shook people's ears and hearts.
My vigilance made me unable to ignore it, so I said to Tofu: "Don't be stupid, go and call the carp, this day, there will definitely be a storm at sea, and it is more reliable for the ship to be commanded by professionals." Tofu nodded, and immediately walked to the lounge, only halfway to retreat from the stairs, it turned out that the carp had already rushed out while dressing, probably awakened by thunder.
He shouted loudly, "What's the matter, what a big thunder." "At sea, the weather is a very important thing, and the only thing that humans can rely on is the boat, and whether the ship is safe or not is closely related to the weather in a large way.
Storms on the sea are more common, and the power system of modern ships is relatively storm-resistant, so there is no need to worry most of the time, and only when encountering larger storms, will there be danger.
Generally, when the boat goes out to sea, the connected system will have a weather forecast, and when it is not suitable to go to sea, the fishermen will stop sailing.
The carp is more knowledgeable, he looked at the sky and frowned, then connected to the navigation system, pressed a few buttons, and called up a weather number, which showed that the area we are in today is calm and calm, and it is a suitable day to go to sea.
Tofu stared at the number of jΓΉs, pursed his lips, and said, "It's obviously, so the weather forecast can't be trusted." β
The carp sat back in the command room and said, "Look at the weather, this storm is coming a little hard, I'll turn on the wind speedometer." "In the past, things like wind balls were used to measure storms at sea, but now they have developed into wind wheels, which automatically get the number jΓΉ. After a while, there was a number of jΓΉ on the display screen, and the carp's face suddenly turned a little pale, and said: "The wind speed has reached 39 meters per second, which is a strong typhoon of level 13, which is really unlucky." β
When he said this, the icon of the wind and sun still hung in the upper right corner of the chart screen, which was extremely ironic.
At this time, the thunder roared outside, and the rest of the people also gathered in the command room one after another, because the doors and windows here were closed, so we could only see the dark clouds and dazzling lightning outside through the glass, and listen to the deafening thunder and the sound of the waves surging, and the sea breeze could not be felt. However, according to the number of jΓΉ that has been transmitted, if we really reach level 13, and we are now in the sea, in the center of the wind, then the wind outside must be very strong, and the size of the little girl will be swept up into the sky as soon as she goes out.
We didn't feel anything until we were in the command room, but just listening to the sound and the increasingly strong swing of the ship, we could already feel the power, and no one dared to go outside the command room for a while.
At this time, Gu Wenmin suddenly said, "Where did the little girl go?" β
Duan Fei said: "She has been sleeping in A-Ying's bed. β
Ah Ying was surprised when she heard this: "Mr. Chen was on duty for me just now, and when I went back to bed, I didn't see anyone, so I thought I was with you?" β
