Chapter 362: Little Life, The Journey Is Suspended
The next day, Chu Mingcheng slept until ten o'clock in the morning and didn't get up.
After steaming some sweet potato dumplings made last night, he finally found that the filling with dogtooth meat tasted very good, the filling had both the aroma of beef and the umami of fish, and there was no fishy as expected.
After eating in the morning, he walked out of the cabin and went out onto the deck.
Because of the threat of the leopard seal last night, he locked up the dog and sea otter who wanted to follow him.
He then went to the side of the deck of the ship, with a javelin in his hand to lure a possible leopard seal into the bait.
Chu Mingcheng's vigilance was right, in the morning, he waited for the rabbits on the penguin breeding ground, caught two penguins that jumped into the water to catch fish, and after a full meal, the leopard seal returned to the boat.
As a tyrant of Antarctica, when did it suffer the kind of grievances of yesterday?
The only thing in Antarctica that can make them feel wronged is killer whales.
But those who met killer whales were cold, but it was alive and well, and naturally the leopard did not suffer any setbacks on its way.
It also caused it to want revenge all night, and waited until now.
At this time, after waiting for most of the day, it finally found the contents of the cabin, and the hateful two-legged beast from last night finally came out.
And standing by the side of the ship is a very tempting opportunity.
It immediately swam over, intending to drag the other party into the water and let the other party understand how good it is.
However, it didn't know that Chu Mingcheng, who had turned on the Seagod Mode, had very keen senses.
As the leopard swooped up, he sensed something and stepped back.
The leopard seal, which suddenly lost its target, suddenly braked suddenly, but under the drive of inertia, it still exposed the water.
Chu Mingcheng looked at the leopard seal in front of him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.
He didn't take advantage of the fact that he had Poseidon mode to wipe out the danger directly, but returned to the cabin with a javelin.
Waiting for Jiang Luoluo to get up, then the two cooperated in the cab, one remotely controlled the drone to observe the waterway, and the other drove the boat to the next station.
However, the closer you get to land, there is more ice, so they need to get to the open sea first.
The Black Yao started to leave, and the leopard seal swam over.
But it didn't know there was a fish finder on board, so its tracks were completely exposed to the eyes of the two.
"Ah Cheng, this seal is still with us, what should we do?" Jiang Luoluo looked a little worried.
The seal follows all the time and is a threat to both the people and animals on board.
Chu Mingcheng looked calm: "You forgot to wait for our killer whales in the sea outside?" ”
"Huh~" Jiang Luoluo's eyes suddenly lit up, "Didn't the killer whales leave?" ”
"Well, they'll follow us until we leave Antarctica." Chu Mingcheng himself knew the general movements of the killer whales, this was because he could communicate with the killer whales.
Jiang Luoluo, who had been following him, naturally didn't know the specific situation of the killer whales, so he didn't think of relying on killer whales to solve the problem.
But now that she heard about the killer whales, she suddenly relaxed.
She doesn't have compassion for leopards and seals.
The main reason is that the leopard seal felt too ferocious to her yesterday, and her appearance is average, so it is difficult to win the sympathy of women.
If it were replaced by a fat little seal with big eyes in Carslan, then Jiang Luoluo would definitely beg the killer whales not to cause harm, and then fish for them to eat.
Appearance, the impact on human beings is indeed a bit big!
The weather has been sunny and the waterways are in good condition these days, and Chu Mingcheng quickly drove the boat out under Jiang Luoluo's command.
As for the leopard seal that followed behind, its leopard eyes suddenly widened when it was far away from the ice, and then immediately turned back and fled.
But it was too late, and the killer whales who had already spotted the Black Yao immediately rushed straight up.
I hadn't hunted yet, but I had just gone to meet my master and found delicious food.
Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo also discovered the movements of the killer whales, and when they saw them directly rushing towards the Black Yao, they understood what was going on.
They hurriedly stopped the boat and came out, and then took binoculars to observe the sea in the distance.
The leopard seal, which escaped one step earlier, was eventually overtaken by the killer whales, which moved nimble in the sea, but were not as fast as the killer whales.
This would have been forced to jump onto an ice floe.
If it's the kind of big ice that is connected together, it might have some hope of survival.
It's a pity that this is just a piece of ice floe, and the killer whale group has a way to deal with it.
I saw that the killer whales lined up in a neat line, and launched a direct charge at the surface of the water to the ice floe, and when they reached the location of the ice floe, they suddenly dived into the water.
However, the huge waves they drive with the sea do not do this, whistling up the ice floe.
Not only did the ice floe shake more than once, but it also washed the leopard seal on it and almost didn't fall.
"Awesome!" Jiang Luoluo took the binoculars and watched with relish, and was amazed by the tactics of the killer whales.
Chu Mingcheng also exclaimed: "It is worthy of being one of the most intelligent animals in the ocean. ”
The killer whales then charged three more times, successfully smashing the exhausted leopard seals down.
In an instant, the killer whales swarmed up, and the sea water was immediately stained red with blood.
Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo put down their binoculars at the same time, there was no need to watch the bloody scene next, they had to prepare lunch, so as not to affect their appetite after watching this scene.
In the days that followed, the two of them rarely had the opportunity to set foot on the Antarctic continent again.
The main thing is that the road conditions are not good, and it is difficult for them to find a suitable parking spot.
During this period, he encountered a luxury cruise ship that came to Antarctica, and Chu Mingcheng leaned over and exchanged the toothfish for some supplies that the two of them needed.
Chief among them are vegetables and fruits, followed by tea.
They have a lot of meat in their refrigerated cabins, and fish is inexhaustible.
Vegetables and fruits, which are not easy to preserve, have always been in short supply.
Toothfish is a top-notch seafood, so it's easy to exchange for something.
It's just that just as they were about to arrive in Argentina, the unexpected happened.
In the toilet in the cabin, Chu Mingcheng gently patted Jiang Luoluo's back, and after seeing that she didn't retch, he handed over a bottle of water.
"Are you better?"
Jiang Luoluo rinsed his mouth and nodded.
She touched her stomach and looked a little complicated: "It's a little early!" ”
"Not early, not early, in fact, we shouldn't be surprised that he came, after all, we haven't done anything about it." Chu Mingcheng smiled.
Although the arrival of the little one may disrupt their journey, both of them have a little disgust with life at sea all the way from Xiamen City to Argentina.
It's better to go back slowly, and where you want to go later, when the children are a little older, they can directly take a plane over, play for ten days and a half and then come back, and this kind of travel will not be as tiring as it is now.
Jiang Luoluo was so happy to see Chu Mingcheng, and his mood was much better.
"Are you so happy?"
"Of course, I'm going to be a father, can I be happy?"
"It's not a pity that the trip is over?"
"What's the pity, we went to Argentina for a while, waited for the baby to stabilize and then flew back. Your body is more important than the little one. After the ship arrives, it can be shipped directly to the sea, and the ship will be used as a yacht in the future! ”
Seeing that Chu Mingcheng had thought about everything almost instantly, Jiang Luoluo couldn't help but laugh.
But it's very sweet in my heart, because this man only cares about her more from beginning to end.
A few days later.
Chu Yongxin and An Xiuwen, who are far away in Huaxia, are idle at home and have nothing to do, and their hometown house has just been built, and they are arranging decoration recently, which also causes them to be relatively idle.
"Ah Cheng and Luo Luo are really, they said they had a good honeymoon trip, but they don't come back now. This is a honeymoon, it is clearly a honeymoon trip. An Xiuwen began to complain every day.
Chu Yongxin took a sip of tea, and sighed helplessly after hearing this: "Young people nowadays don't know what to think, why is it so difficult for me to be a grandfather?" ”
"Who says it isn't!" An Xiuwen nodded in agreement, and just as she was about to say something, her phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up and found that it was her son who called, and immediately complained: "Yo, rare guest, my son actually called!" ”
"Maybe there's something, let's take it first!" Chu Yongxin shook his head with a smile and said.
An Xiuwen didn't delay and pressed the answer button.
"Son, what's the matter?"
"Mom, Luo Luo has it!"
"Poof~" Chu Yongxin, who had just taken a sip of tea, immediately sprayed.
An Xiuwen was also stunned, and then suddenly overjoyed: "Yes, how many months?" ”
Chu Mingcheng: "It's only the seventh week. We have just come out of the hospital in Argentina and the doctor said that we will not be able to fly until the baby is 12 weeks old, so we will stay in Argentina for a while. ”
"It's seven weeks now, and I won't come back until twelve weeks later, and that's more than a month!" An Xiuwen calculated the time, and suddenly frowned, the time is a bit long!
"Son, will Luo Luo not get used to it over there, or will my mother go over, so that Luo Luo will not be used to eating over there?"
Chu Mingcheng: "Don't be, I'll rent a house here, and I'll do whatever Luo Luo wants to eat." Don't worry, I'll take care of Lolo! ”
An Xiuwen hesitated, but finally nodded: "Luo Luo, let my mother take a look at her." ”
"Luo Luo is also on the phone with her parents, let's talk when our house is rented!"
After Chu Mingcheng informed his family of this happy event, he hung up the phone after chatting for a while.
They had to go to the Argentine capital next, and before they went to the capital, they had to arrange the consignment of sailboats, so they were in a hurry.
Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is the second most livable city in the world, surpassing Melbourne in Australia.
Chu Mingcheng is not short of money, so he will naturally arrange the best living conditions for Jiang Luoluo.
"What did Mom and Dad say?" After making phone calls on both sides, Chu Mingcheng stopped a taxi from the hospital and returned to the hotel, and asked about his parents-in-law's reaction.
Jiang Luoluo pouted: "When they become grandparents, of course they are very happy." He also said that he wanted to come here, but I persuaded him! ”
Chu Mingcheng's heart moved when he heard this, just now his parents said that they were also coming, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law also had the same idea, and he suddenly felt that this thing was feasible.
Buenos Aires is a very good tourist city, and when Jiang Luoluo can almost go back, he can arrange for the elders to come over.
I believe that the arrival of relatives will also make my daughter-in-law happy.
However, he didn't say this in front of Jiang Luoluo, and he could be a surprise when the time came.
Back at the hotel, rest for the day.
Then Chu Mingcheng went out alone to inquire about the consignment, and he is currently in the Santa Cruz province in the south of Argentina.
There are many large ports here, and after inquiring with a translator, he successfully inquired about the large ocean-going merchant ships that consigned to China.
The cost is naturally very high, and it takes a long time, it is estimated that they have all returned to China, and the ship may not arrive.
After understanding the situation, Chu Mingcheng secretly brought all the antiques on the ship back to the hotel at night, and only came over again the next day to arrange consignment.
As for the ingredients on the ship, the quantity was not much, so he directly packed and arranged for delivery to the shipping station in Buenos Aires, and then went to pick it up himself.
After the ship consignment was completed, Chu Mingcheng returned to the hotel with his pets and set off for Buenos Aires with Jiang Luoluo.
The distance between the two provinces is not very far, but because he can't do a plane and has a pet, Chu Mingcheng finally chartered an RV and asked the driver to drive over.
Departure in the afternoon and arrival in the morning of the third day.
If there were only the two of them, Chu Mingcheng would definitely choose a star-rated hotel for more than a month.
The hotel room can be cleaned at any time, which is convenient and trouble-free.
But the situation was special, and with a pet, he ended up renting a small bungalow with a relatively warm environment.
It's not that I can't afford to rent a villa, but the villa is too big, and it's really not as comfortable as a small bungalow with a good environment, at least Jiang Luoluo is very satisfied with this place.
Seeing Chu Mingcheng's slightly tired appearance after being busy, she touched her abdomen and whispered, "Baby, baby, you see that your father is in trouble because of you." ”
"For the sake of your mother and son, what's the trouble!" Chu Mingcheng heard her muttering, and immediately laughed.
"Mother and son? What if it's a daughter? ”
"In my eyes, children are the same."
It's been two or three years, who is still engaged in sexism!
Jiang Luoluo also knew this, and smiled slightly when she heard this, so she said it casually.
For the next two days, they mostly stayed at home, and at most they walked around the neighborhood.
Suddenly they come to an unfamiliar environment, they don't understand the main language, they can only communicate with the translator, and they need a certain amount of time to adapt to the local customs and habits, so as not to touch the taboos of others.
However, they didn't know much about the taboo or anything, but they were surprised by the slow pace of life here.
People here seem to wake up late, and after half past nine in the morning, there will be more and more pedestrians on the road.
Secondly, they pay a lot of attention to lunch, and they eat it at 9 to 10 p.m. in the evening.
The most commonly eaten food in the local area is beef, and roast beef is basically available in local restaurants.
As for the customs and so on, this side is basically very similar to some Western European countries.
Of course, Chu Mingcheng was most concerned about the fishing situation.
Buenos Aires is a coastal city facing the Atlantic Ocean to the east.
The house rented by Chu Mingcheng is not far from the sea, and it takes about half an hour to drive.
A domestic driver's license can be used in Argentina, which greatly facilitates his usual travel.
Therefore, he was very decisive to buy a second-hand pickup truck to use first, and when he went back, he sold it at a low price, which was much more cost-effective than renting a car.
