Looking for the lost ship girl

summer.

It has only rained once in this county near the sea, and it has cleared up now, the sky is as blue as a thousand hectares, but the coolness in the air dissipates very quickly, and soon I can see all the locals sitting on the street. Enjoy the shade under the bridge hole.

At this time, in the busiest street in the county, a coconut seller placed a wooden table under the shade of a tree by the side of the street. A little girl with short pink hair was holding a coconut by the wooden table with an ugly expression on her face. Opposite her was an adult with a suppressed smile.

"Others look like they are in their teens, how can they be called aunts."

The owner who sells coconut juice is a girl in her teens, but she looks much older because of the floral cloth tied on her head. After all, it is a costume that only older women like.It's just that the faint fluff can still be seen from the slightly dark face of the other party, which shows that the other party's age will not be very old.

Remember that conversation just now.

"Auntie, Auntie, I want two coconuts."

Then came a sweet smile: "Call me sister."

"Auntie? Two coconuts, two coconuts."

Is there anything more worrying for a girl than being called an aunt?She couldn't even take care of her own business, even though the other party was just a little girl, she still yelled out.

"It's sister, sister!"

In the end, the aggrieved little Tirpitz held the coconut and endured the malicious laughter of an unscrupulous adult.

At this moment, little Tirpitz was fiddling with the coconut and said, "I can't tell what it looks like from the back. My sister and aunt are about the same."

"If you don't know the difference, you must be calling me elder sister. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with calling me elder sister. Anyway, there is absolutely nothing wrong with calling someone younger."

Little Tirpitz retorted: "It's so troublesome, you can call it whatever you want."

"Nonsense, you usually don't call your prestige sister Hood so good, how about you call Aunt Hood then." He squinted his eyes and remembered going to the amusement park when he was in junior high school, and wanted to ask the girl in front of him to borrow a map Take a look, I just called auntie, and immediately saw the expression of the other party's almost jumping feet, and then I was babbled for a long time, "calling sister" and "calling sister" and so on.If Tirpitz was called Aunt Hood, the scene would be very exciting.

It's just that little Tirpitz is not a weak person, and retorted: "Okay, okay, let's call it Aunt Hood, Grandma Hood."

After Su Gu became the admiral, he returned to the county in the afternoon.On the second day, I took little Tirpitz around and went to the local church. The church was not big and there was nothing to see. I just watched a group of people worship from a distance.Although he has just experienced such a miraculous experience, from one world to another, he still believes that it is an unknown science compared to God, and he is still barely an atheist to this day, although he is not too firm, of course. The level above should be said to be the level of respecting ghosts and gods.Come out of the church, and then prepare to walk back to the residence along the street.

At this time, he looked at the little Tirpitz who was bouncing in front of him and said, "Have you heard of another way to eat lychees? Dip in soy sauce."

Little Tirpitz showed a dazed expression, and said, "Oh, I haven't eaten lychees before."

Su Gu suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

In the afternoon, he walked to the pier of the county seat. On the pier, he stepped on the stone bricks all over the floor and looked at the large warehouses neatly arranged on the side of the road. The surrounding people were bustling with people, and huge passenger ships were moored on the sea.On the narrow road, there are all kinds of black cars in the Ford style of the Republic of China, tall horses leading beautifully decorated carriages, rickshaws and carts.Because several ships are stranded in the county, there are more vendors on the pier than ever before, tourists, vendors, sailors, people who want to fish in troubled waters, workers pushing canoes to move goods by the roadside, entertainers sitting on the ground and playing monkeys, beggars There are also all kinds of people. This place is like a museum that exhibits the scenery of the world in the [-]s and [-]s.

At the ticket window on the pier, Su Gu looked at the itinerary on the window glass: "How much is the ferry ticket to Guicheng?"

Guicheng is the city where Lexington is located, so far away.

The answer he received was that the boat ticket was simply unaffordable. In the final analysis, the work he has done so far has not paid much at all. Coming here also means that the savings in the past have nothing to do with the present. There is no way for currency to circulate, and his own The wages are all in the house, wardrobes, tables and chairs, water basins, everything needs money.

The sky was getting dark, and the sunset glow coated the pier with a layer of blush.He watched one ship leave, and saw another ship slowly approaching the shore.On the pier, sailors cast the cable on the deck, and then the workers on the dock put the cable on and tighten it.There are no gantry cranes at the wharf here, and no large containers for cargo ships.Workers at the pier set up a shelf for the cargo ship, and someone stood on the ship and said something, and soon after, the workers began to unload the ship.

Su Gu chatted with the sailors on the pier: "Is it easy to meet deep-sea ship girls at sea?"

"It's not so easy to meet a deep-sea ship girl, every other sea area has a tutelary fort."

"But the route cannot be close to the coast. There should be places that the tutelary mansion can't take care of."

"That's right, large fleets are escorted by ship maidens, but for small ships, it depends on luck."

Su Gu laughed and asked, "Which city is your fleet going to?"

At night, dinner is seafood.

Little Tirpitz, who was sitting in front of the table, shook his legs and said, "Admiral, what have you been talking to those people?"

Su Gu tapped the dining table with his fingers and said, "It's not that Lexington is in Guicheng, let's go by boat."

Jr. Tirpitz's journey has been rough all the way, and she finally settled down after finding the admiral. At this time, she held the bowl and found that her admiral finally had a little self-consciousness as an admiral. She replied: "Yeah, then Woolen cloth?"

Under the dim light, Su Gu pinched his chopsticks: "But I don't have enough money for us to buy a boat ticket, so I thought of other ways?"

He is quite confident in his quick wit, even if he has no money, he easily thought of a solution to the problem, Su Gu said: "Let me ask the sailors on the pier, cargo ships generally need escorts, and then we can go to the ship and promise The guard is fine, you are the guard, you are not the ship's mother."

Little Tirpitz didn't speak, and cleaned up the rice in her bowl, because she was sitting on a high chair, her legs dangling in the air, and she didn't know what to think about.Not long after, little Tirpitz suddenly raised his head and said, "Do you have to go by cargo ship? It's very uncomfortable."

Su Gu was stunned, and said: "I don't want to do it either, but I don't have the money to let us build a passenger ship. I have already said that I am very poor."

"But I have money. My sister Meow gave it to me before. I never spent it." Little Tirpitz grabbed a handful from his pocket and let go of it on the table, and then the jingling coins fell down.

Su Gu was silent for a while, then calmly said: "Actually, there is another reason for not being a passenger ship, which is especially important. The departure time of the ship is very late, and the cargo ship can leave the next day after it is loaded. The conditions are a little more difficult.”

"However, it costs a lot of fuel and ammunition to be the escort of a cargo ship. It costs more to replenish it than a passenger ship, and it costs a lot of extra money."

Su Gu continued to remain silent, and then said: "Oh, that's right. Um...do you only eat these dishes for dinner? Children need to eat more when they grow up."

Soon after, as the night progresses, the lights are turned off.Little Tirpitz slept on the bed, and Su Gu himself slept on the floor of the mat. Although they could sleep together, but little Tirpitz was a little girl, so he had to be self-conscious first.

"Admiral, can you knock us on barnacles?"

"It's not like you're staying in the water and can't go ashore. Where did the barnacles come from?"

"So will you change my paint job? I'm going to do red paint."

"Paint it? That's all right."

Little Tirpitz's voice suddenly paused, and he said, "Admiral, can I sleep with you?"

"why?"

"I used to always dream that I was standing in the port, and many planes were flying over my head, and then many bombs were dropped. It was really scary."

Su Gu understood the life of the battleship Tirpitz. This battleship did not take action a few times in its life, but in the end it sank because of the British bombers.In the darkness, he said softly, "Whatever you want."

Not long after, he felt little Tirpitz sleeping next to him, holding his clothes with his little hands.

"Admiral, I've caught you, you won't go away suddenly, even if you go, you won't be able to go away."

"Will not."

"Well, Admiral, I want to hear a story."
