【Chapter 34】Docking
The person in charge is worthy of being in charge, and when he got the news and came to see this scene, he just gasped, and immediately made a decision and gave an order.
He first sent most of his men to the hold, and to transfer the most valuable cargo to the deck and the life-saving dinghy as soon as possible, and to minimize possible losses; After that, he asked several craftsmen, including Yu Moji, to check the "Dragon Heart" as quickly as possible to test whether this extremely expensive Feilu Sufeng could still be saved; In the end, a few sailors were sent to Gyeonggi Port in a dinghy overnight to ask for help.
The Wei family is wealthy, and even the life-saving boat is powered by burning Chitose gold, and the speed is very fast. The sailors rode the waves and soon disappeared.
Before he died, Yi Xiaocheng said that the ship would not sink, and sure enough. Although Feilu Tracing Wind is no longer able to drive in the original direction, it can still float steadily in the water. The boats were also veterans who had experienced storms and waves, and seeing that the situation was not particularly urgent, they all quickly calmed down and went to their temporary assigned posts.
But they didn't have anything to do with the core parts in the "Dragon's Heart". After all, the craftsmen have never been to the "dragon's heart". Even when the machine here was in good condition, it had far exceeded their imagination, and now it was scattered with scattered fragments, which made these craftsmen even more confused.
Yu Moji listened to Yi Xiaojiao's explanation for many days. Seeing the craftsmen looking at each other, she had no choice but to take responsibility and blast the remaining craftsmen to the periphery to overhaul other parts that met the standard shape, and she herself came to deal with the pile of waste products in the "Dragon's Heart" that used to be hot for people's eyes and are now only the size of a human head.
Yu Moji looked back and forth carefully for a long time, and couldn't help but admire Yi Langao who made all this, as well as Yi Xiaojiao, who tried his best to defend here.
Although there was a mess in the "Dragon's Heart", the situation was not as bad as Yu Moji had imagined before.
Not only was the seven-pin golden kettle preserved, but also the core parts such as pipes and runners that transmit power to the outer wheel propeller power were also saved because of the special design made at the beginning, which can be collected in the place that can best avoid external blows, and a large part of them have been spared.
It is precisely because of this that even though the power of Feilu Tracing Wind is insufficient, it will not completely lose control and go with the current. In addition, there are still anchors and other material support, and it may not be a problem to hold on until the sailors bring in reinforcements from Gyeonggi Port.
Yu Moji breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly frowned again.
The "Dragon Heart" had been closed all the time, and the air inside was turbid, and when Yu Moji stayed here before, he was usually focused on the study of Yanjia, so he didn't notice anything abnormal; Now that it had been open for a long time, she felt that something was not right.
It's the smell.
In the past, when Yu Moji was doing chores in the lecture hall, he often had to keep vigil in the warehouse, and he was very familiar with the unique cold and hard smell of the metal used in the Yanji, as well as the choking smell of all kinds of engine oil. Although the Yanji in the "Dragon's Heart" has been running in high temperatures, many of them have now become dead objects, and they are no different from warehouses.
Yu Moji smelled a smell that shouldn't belong to the warehouse.
The moment the machine was damaged, the heating in the cabin stopped. The river breeze at night was pervasive, and the ink marks were not lightly frozen in the bilge. She sniffed and searched around for a long time, finally realizing what the strange smell represented.
Kerosene.
Yu Moji was shocked.
Fire oil should never be in the Dragon's Heart, because there are thousands of years of gold everywhere. In the gold cauldron, the burning millennial gold is certainly a precious power; However, once out of the control of the gold cauldron, the flame ignited by Chitose Gold represents a disaster that is difficult to extinguish.
Chitose gold can have the status of being as expensive as gold today precisely because it is not only extremely easy to ignite, but once burned, it has a blazing heat.
Even if Feilu is now drifting in the river, with the current situation on the boat, it will definitely not be able to withstand a fire.
However, with Yi Xiaocheng's cherishing of her brother's work, and the extent to which she knew every part of the "dragon's heart", how could she allow the oil to be here?
Yu Moji took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.
When Yi Xiaoji was dying, Yu Moji was worried about the safety of Feilu Sufeng, but he didn't ask; So, why did Yi Xiaowei go out of his way to tell her that the ship was fine?
In the past many days on Feilu Tracing the Wind, why is Yi Xiaoji so enthusiastic that she must teach Yu Moji what her brother left behind?
How did Yi Langao die?
Yu Moji sat down on the ground tiredly. Her mind was a mess.
Suddenly, she faintly heard the sound of gears walking, "Click-", "Click-", "Click-", "Click-" ......
The rhythm of the voice was slow and steady, as if the empty "dragon heart" suddenly came to life and had a heartbeat.
It's really weird.
Yu Moji stood up, searching in the direction of the voice.
In the depths of the dragon's heart, which had been shattered, there was still an intact wooden box. The wooden box had been hidden in a corner, blending in harmoniously with the surrounding parts, so that the ink marks never noticed it.
The heartbeat-like sound became clearer, and the source was in the wooden box.
The wooden box was the appearance of a woman's makeup, but the makeup was much larger, and it was very old. However, from the intricate carved patterns on it, Yu Moji can barely make out a picture of a boat moored at the water's edge, as well as a pair of "Yi" characters in the corner, which seem to be signed down, like butterflies.
Is it something that is a small ship?
Yu Moji reached out and touched it, only to notice that the wooden box was fixed to the bulkhead, and it was quite firmly connected to the other parts around it.
The flavor of the oil is stronger.
With Yu Moji's frightened brain, by this time, he finally guessed it.
This is a box of explosives.
The sound of the walk was probably a small bell.
That ghostly little ship, in the heart of the most important dragon on this ship, hides a box of explosives that will time itself!
The ghost of Yi Xiaowei was unfathomable, and Yu Moji thought that he did not have the ability to dismantle explosives with his bare hands, so he did not dare to act rashly, so he could only run out immediately, wanting to tell the steward and sailor who were tossing the cargo on the deck as soon as possible about this terrible news. What did Yi Xiaowei say before, did she tell her to "go quickly"? Why didn't she notice? Why not do it?
Yu Moji ran out of breath, holding the side of the boat all the way over, and before he reached the steward, a powerful wave of qi had risen from under his feet.
The sound of water and waves clashing was all around, and occasionally mixed with a few screams. Yu Moji's whole person was immediately swept into the river.
Perhaps because of the damage to the dragon's heart, the power of the explosives could not be fully exerted; Maybe the location of Yu Moji Station is good; Maybe it's because of her fate; Maybe it was because Jiang Shui couldn't take her away once, so he gave up this time. Anyway, she didn't die this time.
The hull of the ship, which had been broken by the wind of Feilu, had sunk and could not be saved; But the ink marks reached a broken ship's plank.
The board of the boat was not large, and Yu Moji threw his arms on it, and half of his body was still soaked in the water.
It's a terrible taste, but it's always good to be alive.
Yu Mochen coughed for a long time, and finally spit out the water that had choked into his lungs, before wiping his face to look around.
Yi Xiaocheng's murderous plan did not succeed. The sailors were caught working on the deck by the money-grubbing stewards, and no one remained in the cabin to die. They are all good water people, some of them are injured, but most of them are still alive, and they have each found a way to save their lives temporarily.
It's just that a shipload of goods can't be saved. The steward sat on the largest plank, weeping and communicating.
They didn't soak in the river for long.
The Wei family also had permanent personnel in the imperial capital, and the people who picked up Feilu had already arrived at Gyeonggi Port, and soon sent rescue.
Although the losses are heavy, it is very rare to be able to leave so many lives behind. The people of the Wei family quickly settled the shipwrecked sailors and boatmen, and arranged a temporary place for Yu Moji to live.
This is a nice inn, perhaps because there is an old plum tree in the backyard, and the owner has a very elegant name, called "Dianmei Inn". The rooms are comfortable and spacious, and the décor is very elegant and warm. But it was by no means the kind that Yu Mozhen would choose by himself - her 20,000 yuan silver ticket was burned in the mountains, and even the only remaining one was searched on the Jiangshan boat.
All she has on hand now is a little travel money sent by Wei Linyuan before she set off from Linhai County. Fortunately, she has always loved money, and the silver tickets are all close to her; Although she soaked in the water for a while, since it was the ticket issued by the Wei family, the person surnamed Wei in the imperial capital didn't say a word, and immediately helped her redeem it.
Yu Mojin didn't say anything about what happened along the way before, and Wei Linyuan naturally didn't know that she was so poor that she was penniless. Although Young Master Wei has never taken money very seriously and is extremely generous, the travel expenses for Yu Moji's emergency use will not be much. Yu Mojian is rubbing the temporary accommodation arranged for her by the Wei family at this time, and living on travel expenses, after all, it is not a long-term solution. Before entering the cardinal, she had to be frugal no matter what.
Fortunately, the food at the Dianmei Inn was also round, otherwise, Yu Moji really didn't know where to go to comfort her empty belly that had suffered a lot.
The dining hall of Dianmei Inn is on the first floor. Probably because the name of the inn is so light that it is oblique, there are not many guests staying in the hotel, and the canteen has to be opened to the public as a tavern.
As soon as Yu Moji looked at the number of diners here, he estimated that the food should be good.
But at this moment, Yu Moji suddenly didn't have the heart to think about food, and the evil ghost who was beating gongs and drums in his stomach couldn't call her back.
Because she saw a very familiar person, sitting quietly by the window. He had come alone, with only a stylish teacup in front of him, steaming leisurely.
Yu Moji looked at it from a distance, as if he could already smell the aroma of white chrysanthemum.
Yuan relied on it.
This person, who has not been seen for a long time, but who seems to have never been a stranger, has three points of warmth and concern in his eyes.
This look was not handed to Yu Moji.
Yuan Zhizhi didn't notice her at all.
This young general, who has always been dignified, is looking at another girl in the shop hall at this moment.
The girl's outfit was not magnificent, but it was also neat and dignified; The face is very beautiful, but the expression is a little sad. She was holding a lute at the moment, and Chu Chu was leaning pitifully against the wall.
It turned out to be a singing girl.
