421. Across the ocean
When fireworks began to go off the shore that night, the 10,000-ton cargo ship moored in the port was also ready to depart.
Densely packed containers are piled up on the ship. Shoes and clothing, plastic and rubber products, presumably all of these are very common things.
On the foredeck, a handful of relatively idle old crew members gathered together, leaning on the side of the ship to watch the fireworks, smoke and chat.
The itinerary of setting sail for the New Year is a little depressing, but since they are eating this bowl of rice, the income is not low anywhere, and they have long accepted and used to it.
In short, as long as the daughter-in-law in the family can match the month of pregnancy, there is nothing special that cannot be passed.
"Crunch", suddenly some heavy footsteps came from the darkness.
Four stevedores stood in one corner, carrying a rectangular wooden box, and walked past the crew.
The wooden box is not small, and it is estimated that it can hold two adults, but compared to the container, it is naturally still small and pitiful.
The crew turned their heads to look and greeted each other and asked, "Are you still moving things up at this time?"
"Bulk cargo, temporary consignment. The stevedore replied.
"Oh, what's in there? It looks like a big coffin. ”
"I don't know, I didn't ask. ”
This is the end of the conversation as the stevedores fade away.
The crew who just asked casually didn't know that he had just walked at the threshold of life and death. Of course, the stevedores carrying the boxes didn't know either, and what they were carrying in their hands now could actually be regarded as a Transformer.
Annoyed by the kind that can sink a 10,000-ton steamer casually.
"Bang!" "Bang!" fireworks exploded one after another in the night sky, and the brilliant firelight was reflected on the dark sea in the middle of the night.
"Hey, have you ever heard of that when you came home this time? A young crew member started a new topic while smoking with someone.
"What?" asked the old crewman, who didn't light his cigarette and put it in his ear.
"Alien spaceships, snowy mountain monsters or something. ”
"Oh, that's it, I've heard it, it's not spread everywhere, I guess I've heard it all. But you see, we have the same sea, and don't we live the same days? ”
The old crew member said, looking up at the fireworks in the sky in the distance. In short, it's still the same Chinese New Year's Eve.
Everyone on the side said yes.
"What, I know this, no matter what aliens are aliens or not, as long as they don't fight with us, it's important to earn money and get by. I just want to ask you all believe it or not?"
When the little crew member said this, he lowered his voice: "Anyway, I believe it." I saw that thing last time I was on the sea with a ship, an alien spaceship, really, a little bit from the sky......"
"I've seen it before, it looks like a shuttle, doesn't it?!" the other continued.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's that thing, it's black, I've seen it. ”
"Well, I just can't see clearly, it's so fast. ”
The third and fourth responded excitedly on the spot.
The sea has a wide line of sight, and the days are boring, and nearly half of the people in the group have seen the large pointed shuttle-shaped spaceship with their own eyes, counting the length of the running boat. It's just that none of them know if it's a legendary alien inside.
It's like they don't know where those "shuttles" went later.
While they were discussing together, another group of seven people walked behind them. They all wore gray-black trench coats or jackets and hoods, and only walked silently.
In addition to the bag on their back, everyone carried a wooden case in their hands, which was a wooden case instead of a suitcase.
The size of the box varies, and the longest of them is not more than two meters, but three meters faster.
"Who is it?" After the others passed, the crew turned their heads to look at and asked in a low voice.
"Maybe it's with the ship's owner. The old crew member hesitated, and at the same time reached out to break the head of the little crew member, "Don't look at it if it's okay, don't ask around, since people can pass the customs, they won't do our business." ”
To tell the truth, the outfit and temperament of this group of people feel unusual, and the old crew members themselves are curious, but people have been floating at sea for all these years, not to mention how much else they will do, and silence has been learned when it is time to be silent.
"This trip is not a short time, and if they take the initiative to find something to say, we will respond to them well. If they don't want to touch, remember, don't mess around with anyone!!"
The old crew deliberately gave another serious admonition.
"Got it. "Got it. ”
Amid the sound of fireworks, the freighter departed the port.
It will then pass through the Soya Strait, then cross the Sea of Okhotsk, enter the North Pacific, and go all the way to the other side of the ocean, taking more than 20 or 30 days to complete an ordinary voyage.
............
The lower cabin, a specially opened room for this trip.
Tie Armor sat up from the "coffin" and turned his head with a click, "Why didn't you carry me?"
"The loading and unloading masters got started too quickly, and we didn't grab it. Wen Jifei said with a smile.
"Okay. "Rusty sister is a little depressed, in fact, she didn't occupy the box, if those people are more powerful, don't use four people, four people are too much, and the big coffin is even more excessive.
The sound of fireworks in my ears went away, and the sound of waves came in.
"So now we're at sea. Rusty Mei thought and said, "It's the first time I've gone to sea by boat...... I'd love to go out on deck, Aoko. ”
"Oh, okay, I'll go find someone to help clear an area for us. Han Qingyu got up and pulled the brim of his hood to cover the scar on his face, there were blue people on this boat to help them arrange everything.
He hadn't seen the sea like this, nor did Wu Xian, Plague Chicken, or He Tangtang. Zhe Qiuhong said she wanted to see it too. Even Zhu Jiaming, who said that he was seasick, said that he wanted to see it.
However, they did not go up first, but stayed in the cabin, and waited with Rusty Sister at sea until about four o'clock in the morning.
"Master, aren't you going?" When he got up, Wen Jifei deliberately called Old Man Jiang Longchi.
The old man lay on the bed and opened his eyes, looked at the group of people at the door, recalled and confirmed, and shook his head, "Don't go, I'm tired of seeing." ”
"Ah......h
So, sure enough, I haven't been super cut and it's arrogant! Han Qingyu, Wen Jifei and Wu Yi looked at each other and trembled.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Longchi laughed out loud and scolded with a smile: "Get out! I haven't been beaten by super combat power during the New Year, right?"
He Tangtang rolled over.
"Then master, you won't lose it, right?" asked Han Qingyu standing at the hatch.
Jiang Longchi turned his head to look at him, and suddenly seemed to remember it clearly, "I told you that this is the sea, the sea ......"
"I know it at sea, but your strength is probably not much worse than a torpedo when you swim in the sea. ”
“...... Get out!"
Imagining his torpedo-like posture, the old man laughed angrily again.
Han Qingyu turned around and rolled over.
He hadn't taken a few steps yet, though.
Jiang Longchi suddenly shouted behind him: "Come back." ”
"What's wrong?" Han Qingyu turned around and asked.
The old man sat up from the bed, opened the duffel bag in his hand, looked for it, and muttered to himself, "It's good to touch it, I haven't forgotten this." ”
He took a handful of things out of his bag with both hands.
Red paper envelope, red envelope.
But it's not money in it, it looks square, it should be a blue crystal source energy block.
"One per person, good luck. The old man said.
"Thank you, Master. "Blessings are like the East China Sea. "Shoubi Nanshan. "The world is invincible. "Teach Chen how to write words if he is not hungry!"
Han Qingyu took it, Wen Jifei took it, and Rusty Sister took it...... Even He Tangtang, who had just gotten out, came back to get it.
This year, they finally still have red envelopes from their elders to take.
The old man seemed to be quite happy after the red envelope, and lay down to sleep by himself, saying:
"Go ahead, go and see the sea, and when the sun comes out, it will be beautiful. ”
