Chapter 9 The Boatswain

Xiang Yu took the medicine, lay down for a long time, and when he was able to move, he slowly came to the captain's room, he knew what the captain was going to ask, and he had already decided what to do, that is, he would not admit it.

Anyway, the spirit of the sbefore could not help but tell him, he knew that with the captain's violent nature, after knowing that there was a spirit, he would definitely find a way to catch the spirit.

Who wouldn't want to have a mascot on board who can predict calamity.

"Are you here, have you eaten?" the captain was surprisingly polite.

Xiang Yu had no choice but to say: "Eat, thank you captain for your concern." ”

"Well, you're my crew, and I should care about you. Benniel smiled, then added, "You sit down first, and we'll talk." ”

Xiang Yu sat down in a proper manner, just like a poor relative went to a rich house, he didn't know how to put his hands and feet, and he only dared to sit on half of his buttocks.

Benniel sat across from him, poured himself a large glass of rum, and poured another glass for Xiang Yu, "Drink some wine first, this is the best remedy for our pirates to relieve their sorrows, I usually drink it when I am sad." ”

"Hmm. Xiang Yu took the wine glass and put it in front of him, but he didn't dare to drink it.

Benniel frowned, his words, when it came to this, actually didn't answer him. Shouldn't I say a word to my beloved captain, what is there to worry about? What can I do to make the captain sad?

These are normal conversations, not just a "hmm", which hurts and makes it hard to move on with the rest of the conversation.

Fortunately, he is a pirate, and he has always paid little attention to face and etiquette. He looked at Xiang Yu and asked directly, "Last night, you said that you judged that there was a tsunami by smelling it?"

Xiang Yu nodded, "Yes." ”

"How is this judged?" said Bennier, trying to debunk the lie.

"Before the tsunami, there will be a special smell in the air, which is very light, and it is difficult to smell if the nose is not good. When a tsunami comes, the smell comes out, just like yesterday. Xiang Yu said the answer that had been prepared for a long time.

"Yes? I've never smelled it. ”

"I can only smell a little bit, after all, the smell is very weak. ”

"You can tell if there's a tsunami based on that alone?" don't you think it's very inappropriate?" asked Bennier.

"No, besides, there is an old saying that has been handed down from the old days, saying, 'It is better to believe what you have than what you don't.'" I think it's always good to be prepared for everything. Xiang Yu said seriously.

"Oh, I've read this old saying, and there are a lot of old sayings in the old miscellaneous books, but the one I remember more clearly is, 'If you don't know what you don't know, you can't do it'. Have you heard?" asked Benil, looking at Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu felt a suddenness in his heart, but he still said calmly: "I've heard it, the old saying is always true." ”

"So you don't have anything to say to me?" Bennier asked.

"No, Captain. ”

"Hmm. Benniel nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How long have you been on the boat?"

"Half a year. ”

"Been a floor cleaner for half a year?"

"Yes, Captain. ”

"Very well, now you're a boatswain. Benniel was suddenly promoted.

"I, boatswain, no, no, captain, what did I do this?" said Xiang Yu repeatedly.

"I said you can, don't you want to be a boatswain? This is not good, as the old saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, the water flows low, but people go high, do you know what I mean?" Bennier has read a lot of books, and remembers a lot of old sayings, which are recorded in the historical miscellaneous.

"But how can I rise for nothing? Xiang Yu still wants to shirk. It's not that he really doesn't want to be a boatswain, it's just that this sudden good thing, he thinks it must not be easy.

As the old saying goes, eating people with short mouths and taking people with short hands, and when you receive the benefits of the captain, you always have to pay something.

And he has nothing but that secret.

Are you still here for this?

"Who said you didn't make meritorious contributions, last night's tsunami was the first thing you discovered, wasn't it? The crew was also woken up by you, wasn't it? You were also at the helm after that? You see, if it weren't for you in that disaster last night, we would all be dead, so you have a lot of credit, and according to the meritorious deeds, you should also be promoted. Benniel said slowly.

"But I'm too young to be convinced. ”

"Age is never a problem, the sea is always just about strength, which wave have you ever seen that will ask you how old you are? That's it, as long as you continue to play your best in the future. If you can, you can also pass on your skills to the people around you, I remember Manhat's sense of smell is good, you can teach him. Benniel took a sip of his wine, in a refreshed mood.

Manha is the captain's henchman, and if he gives it to Manha, it is equivalent to giving it to the captain, and the captain will know what is going on.

"This ......"

"Alright, so be it, my boatswain, now you can leave. "Captain Bennier gave an eviction order, and he didn't like anyone in his room any more than he didn't like someone reaching into his crotch.

Xiang Yu knew that it was useless, so he had to turn around and leave, and as for the glass of rum that Benniel sent, he could only give up.

After leaving the room, the sun was shining outside, and the sea breeze was gentle, like a woman's hand pulling the hair on his forehead. His dark eyes, like lights in the night, were extraordinarily bright.

Erin noticed the beautiful eyes at a glance, and she jumped up and running like a little girl. Oh no, she's a little girl, she's only sixteen years old, how can you not call her a little girl?

It's just that our Erin is really cute, she happily jumps in front of Xiang Yu, and the last jump wants to give a lively effect that suddenly appears.

So she called out with her own sound effect, "Boom!" and sent her big bright eyes to Xiang Yu's eyes, looking at each other.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Xiang Yu saw this cute girl, exhaled heavily, and felt much more relaxed, "I'm okay, Irene." ”

"What is he looking for you?" said Erin, who made a counterclockwise rotation and turned to Xiang Yu's side, meeting him shoulder to shoulder with him.

He wanted to know about the spirits. "Xiang Yu doesn't hide much from Erin.

"Oh, you didn't tell him, did you?" asked Erin, with her little hands behind her back, a little nervous.

"Of course not, the less people know about it, the better. Xiang Yudao.

"Well, I'm afraid you'll tell him. You have to remember that don't let the captains know about it, or you'll get in trouble. Erin instructed.

"Why do you say that?" asked Xiang Yu.

"You know, on this sea, no one doesn't want to find the other sea, and this ability of yours has a great effect on finding the other sea. Once you let those people know that you have this ability, I think they'll catch you. Erin said seriously.

Xiang Yu nodded, this was not a lie, he knew how crazy these people could be for Bihai.

"I'll remember. ”

"Also, there's something I didn't have time to tell you before, you said you have the ability to communicate with the spirits, didn't you?" said Erin again.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"I remember in Robin's Diary that she referred to people like you as extraordinary. ”

"The Extraordinary?"

Yes, she said that the sea is a god who has many wonderful powers and is able to bestow extraordinary abilities on people, and those who are chosen by the sea to be endowed with powers are called extraordinary. Erin walked with him to the bow of the boat, and then leaned against the railing together, like a pair of good friends who had known each other for a long time.

She said that the extraordinary are the lucky ones of the sea, with extraordinary abilities, which can be regarded as a gift or a kind of compensation from the sea. When I used to look at this, I couldn't understand why she said that this ability is a kind of 'compensation,' isn't it a good ability? It doesn't seem like there's anything to lose, right? How can it become a compensation?"

Xiang Yu didn't know any of this, but said, "Maybe I used the wrong word." ”

"Maybe. Erin smiled and didn't continue on the question.

"Then who do you know that I have this ability?" asked Xiang Yu.

"I've only been out for half a year, so I don't know if anyone else has it, but there should be, after all, a lot of absurd and bizarre things have been written in many newspapers, and I don't think it's all made up by them, there is always a little bit of wind. Erin looked at Xiang Yu with a smile, "According to the words of your ancestors in the old era, it is called 'never out of nowhere', isn't it?"

"I see you making something out of nothing, and you are secretly Chencang. Xiang Yu smiled, he didn't expect Erin to know so much about the East China Sea in the old era.

Erin threw her head back and leaned her back against the side of the boat, revealing her white, delicate face. Her side face is very good-looking, angular, the key is to look closely, out of the white and tender, you can also see the girl's unique fluff.

This is the fresh face, which is different from those preservatives scraping putty.

Xiang Yu saw her like this, and leaned back after learning the same, enjoying the intoxicating sun.

The sky is gray and yellow, the waves of the sea are shining with a series of bright lights, a few seagulls in the distance are flying high and low, and groups of dolphins are chasing the waves, having a lot of fun.

The surface of the sea is calm and cheerful.

But what about the bottom of the sea? What about the legendary cities that have fallen?

What were the old days like?

Erin opened her eyes and remembered the last sentence in "Robin's Diary":

"It turns out that we are not the only human beings, the sea has helped us to preserve them, and they have protected us. ”

Every time Erin thought of this, she didn't understand why Robin said such a sentence when she was in prison, and why was she arrested?

"Xiang Yu, do you know the old times?"
