Lei Yue Longmen

A lot of sundries were piled up in the square cabin, and a bed was placed at the base of the farthest wall, which was also full of sundries, leaving only half of the sleeping space.Four sealed large wine jars were tied with hemp rope at the foot of the bed, and a black sea bowl was still upside down on the ground.It appears that the owner of the ship is a complete alcoholic.

And on the opposite side of the wall, three fish barrels filled with bait were lined up side by side, exuding a damp sea smell.The smell was not pleasant, Yingrou opened the window to let the air in, and when she turned around, she saw Cen Zhu leaning against the wall and already asleep.

Until a loud and deep horn sounded, the sleeping man woke up as if from a dream, and stood up while leaning on the wall.Stepping out of the cabin, I saw nearly a hundred sails on the harbor had been raised.The order to "open the ocean" is being loudly communicated between the boats.The sound of the chain pulling the anchor out of the water by the winch, and the sound of the "war drum" brought out by the sea wind agitating the white sail soon drowned out the chant and became the most spectacular melody at sea.

The people on the boat were very excited, because it was a long-awaited fish season.Therefore, nearby ships and fleets that can go to sea have tried their best to go to sea.

Compared with those sea-going ships with extremely deep draft and tall masts, their ship is nothing to mention.

Xiao Zhuang said: "I've never seen so many boats going out to sea together. If it's in the Zhuohe River, it won't fit."

"Hehe, compared with the ocean, the Zhuo River is just a drop in the bucket. It is said that if a boat enters the ocean and sails eastward, it will not reach the shore for three years."

Xiao Zhuang's expression? Surprise can no longer be used to describe, "Really? How big is that!"

"It's huge."

"My lord, do you think there are really gods on the other side of the sea?"

Cen Zhu said with a smile: "This is difficult for me. But I think, many gods exist on the will of people? If there are gods on the other side of the sea, there must be people!"

"Someone?" Xiao Zhuang felt incredible, "What will there be? Who is there?"

"I read the records in ancient books, there should be some people with red eyebrows and green eyes."

"Isn't that a monster?"

Their boat is relatively inward, and they have to wait for the ships outside to sail out before they can lift anchor.Just as Cen Zhu was about to return to Xiaozhuang, he suddenly heard the captain shout:

"What the hell are you doing! I only came to check now, and the ship is about to sail."

Turning his head to look, the little sailor who was scolded by him looked a little aggrieved, "The sea official said so, let us, the boats behind, wait for a while, and then we are allowed to sail after inspection."

"Grandma dog!" The ship owner swears directly, and yells at another sailor: "Don't worry about him, keep sailing, these sea officials, who have nothing to do all day, just want to get on the boat to make a fortune, what the hell! Well... I won’t be serving you today. Let’s sail!”

"Boss, they are on the pier!" The sailor screamed.

"Damn it, so fast..." The owner of the ship was also a little surprised, and gave him a wink. The sailor understood, and quickly put the anchor back into the sea.The attitude of the ship owner immediately made a 180-degree turn, and he bowed his waist to prepare for the sea official's inspection.

Xiao Zhuang was shocked to see him change his face as if turning the pages of a book.Seeing the strangeness, Cen Zhu took Yingrou to the side and stood still, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

It is said to be a search, but it is actually for money.The captain, with a smile on his face, gave "filial piety" to the gang of yelling sea officials, looked at the almost empty purse, and angrily spat at their backs.

Cen Zhu frowned and asked, "Do they often do this?"

The owner put the remaining few boats into his trouser pocket, "You should ask, why are they not doing this, son of a bitch! Lift the anchor!"

A sailor pulled the anchor back up, and the owner stretched the muscles in his arms, turned the rudder quickly, and drove the ship fiercely out of the harbor.

The wind forced the fishing boat to sail on the sea for more than an hour, and it was more than 20 miles away from the coast, and it had already left the inland sea.The owner turned the sailboat and stopped going straight.

The sea is not like the land, it is all water as far as the eye can see, and there are no clear road signs. If you want to judge the direction of the fish, you can only rely on the experience and wisdom of the fishermen?

Cen Zhu saw two sailors coming out carrying a bamboo tube with a bowl-thick mouth, and plunged one end into the sea, steadily going down.There are actually two bamboo tubes nested in this bamboo tube.It has been running until it is completely unfolded, and the bottom end has gone five or six feet deep to the bottom of the sea.

The sailor fixed the bamboo tube on the ship's side with hemp rope, put his ear close to the end of the bamboo tube, and listened with bated breath.

This time? Not only Xiaozhuang, but even Yingrou was curious.

"Are they? Listening? Fish?"

Cen Zhu: "Yes, they are listening to the movement of fish swimming in the bottom of the sea. This bamboo tube is pierced through. If there are fish swimming in the depths of the sea, the movement will be transmitted along the bamboo tube. This is what coastal fishermen? A way to catch the fishing season."

"That's right, it's a good idea." Yingrou praised sincerely, "It's a pity we don't grow this kind of bamboo over there."

Cen Zhu said with a smile, "The safflower wine you have over there is much better than this one. Sprinkle two or three drops into the water, and carp within a radius of ten miles can fall into the net."

Ying Rou heard that she was laughing, and sighed: "What's so good about this method of exterminating households? I mentioned it to my mother many times, but she didn't listen to me."

Cen Zhu sympathizes with her very much. She has long experienced the strength of the Queen.But on the other hand, Yingrou's character may indeed be too weak and kind for a crown prince.Originally thought that the queen? The queen would arrange for her until the end of her life, but she did not expect that she escaped.Why? Why did you run away?She didn't dare to ask, for fear of hearing an answer that she couldn't afford.

Suddenly the sailor who was listening to the sound gave a thumbs up towards the inside of the ship.The owner of the boat was full of joy and said: "Can I earn back this one? The wine money is gone, boys, hurry up and get off the net!" The two sailors rushed to the side of the boat, tore off the high-hanging fishing net, and threw it into the water vigorously.At the same time, the captain gritted his teeth and turned the rudder quickly, tilting the boat sideways to avoid the waves, turning the sails to the left and turning the sails to the right, so that the boat turned in an arc, which was convenient for the sailors to weave fishing nets.

Cen Zhu was a little unsteady, so Yingrou and Xiaozhuang each grabbed her by one arm.The boat shook for about half an hour, and finally stabilized.The sailors began to pull up the fishing net with all their strength. Looking at the gradually boiling water, Cen Zhu knew that they had gained a lot this time.

Cen Zhu could not see such a scene of natural selection, and he had no intention of being a good person who saved all living beings.Then he went to the stern alone.After a while, Ying Rou came over with two fishing rods, handed her one, and said with a smile: "Don't you people from the Central Plains often say that wishers take the bait? Let's try it too and see whose hook catches first."

Cen Zhu saw that the hook was straight and there was no bait on it, he laughed at her naivety, took the fishing rod and said, "Okay."

Now the weather is sunny and cloudless.The waves are not fast or slow, which is very suitable for fishing.The two sat leisurely at the stern of the boat, posing for fishing.

Cen Zhu didn't feel it when she was holding the pole at first, but once she turned it sideways, the weight on that end was pressing on her, and soon she felt a little strain in her hand.Quietly put the fishing rod on the side of the boat, holding the tail of the rod with your hand to prevent it from falling.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden sound of horns on the sea.Cen Zhu instinctively looked around, and found that there was a ship coming, followed by the captain's cry: "Damn it! Dare to grab the territory with me! Don't you know who I am?"

The voice was mixed with saliva, and it seemed that he was more annoyed than before.

Cen Zhu wasn't going to be at this juncture to fight against the captain or make him suffer, so he ignored it.On the contrary, Yingrou stood up and took a look, it was a huge lucky boat sailing towards this side.Because the hull is too large, the high bird's head looks like a hill in the longitudinal direction, splitting the huge waves.Not to mention the three bulging sails on the ship.Only the middle? That one is bigger than their boat.There are also two rows of large oars driven by human power on both sides of the boat, which can travel hundreds of miles a day even in the calm sea.

Seeing the huge ship approaching, although the owner of the ship scolded the other party for not being ignorant of the rules, there was nothing he could do about it.Especially the "Zhu" flag that he can't afford to offend is still flying on the other party's boat.I had no choice but to turn the sails angrily and find another fishing spot.

Cen Zhu was bored and continued fishing. When the boat turned around, the fishing rod drew a semicircle on the sea surface like a sundial, passing the approaching giant boat.

Cen Zhu's gaze also had to be deflected, following the rotation of the space, he looked squarely at the ship's side, which was taller than the two of them.

Suddenly, a shadow as cold as icy skin broke into her line of sight.

She was standing on the high side of the ship, her body was covered by a layer of misty sunlight.Like a solidified snow-coloured rabbit, it looked at this side obliquely, motionless.

Compared with the sea boat, her figure is really pitifully small. Every ups and downs of the waves inevitably drag her into an involuntary cycle of ups and downs.Although surrounded by lively sailors and loud chant, her figure still looks so alienated and lonely.It seems to be out of tune with everything around.

The captain turned the boat around in a disgruntled manner, and Cen Zhu, who had lost the image of the man, was about to break his neck, but he couldn't stop looking back.In order to confirm, she simply dropped the fishing rod and ran from the stern to the bow, looking at the receding side of the ship.There was no one to be seen.

Could it be?Could it be an illusion?

She began to doubt herself? She was really in a trance these days, and she kept seeing some strange things.

How did that person come to Danyang?Not to mention going to sea alone.

Yingrou's reaction to her was a bit strange: "What are you looking at?"

Cen Zhu shook his head, looking at the sails that disappeared into the sea level, his face was surprisingly calm, but his heart was already out of control and his heart was in a state of confusion.

About ten miles deeper into the open sea, the amplitude of the waves was obviously stronger than before. The ship shook violently up and down, and it was almost impossible to stand on the deck without holding on to something.

Xiao Zhuang walked over with difficulty, and said to Cen Zhuo in a sluggish state, "My lord, I'm a little dizzy."

Cen Zhu collected himself: "Are you seasick?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Zhuang ran to the stern of the boat and vomited outside.

"Looks like I'm really seasick." Cen Zhu asked him to lie down on the deck and not look at the moving things, and asked Ying Rou to plug his ears.I went to negotiate with the owner of the ship, "Can you return to the voyage now?"

"Are you kidding me?" The captain was obviously not happy, "It's the west wind now, you want me to paddle back? Let's talk about it when the trade wind turns in the afternoon!"

Cen Zhu also knew it was difficult to force others, but he still insisted: "Since you are not willing to return to the voyage, we can't force it. But my brother is very seasick, if there is a passing ship later, please accommodate the owner of the ship and let us change ships and leave."

Although the owner of the ship agreed, but since the ship passed by, until the evening, no ship came again.Worst of all, the trade winds have not changed, blowing from west to east, so it is impossible to return to the coastline, it will only drift farther and farther.

But the owner of the ship was not in a hurry. According to his words, the big deal would be to spend the night on the ship.Anyway, they stored a boatload of seafood and wine, so no one would starve to death.

Cen Zhu is not in the mood? Spending time at sea with them, she still has business to do, and just wants to get back to land as soon as possible.Moreover, at the place where the originally clear blue water and the sky met, thick clouds began to roll. According to past experience, this was the signal before the storm.

The wind pushed the waves higher and higher, and the mast screamed frightfully in mid-air, as if it would break at any moment.

Cen Zhu immediately went to inform the captain, and saw him and two sailors set up a boiler on a tripod on the deck, eating wine with seafood, ignoring the weather.

Is the boat owner still there? Laughing at her: "Boy, just this little wave scares you? Then if a really huge wave comes over, won't you be so scared that you'll pee your pants? Haha~"

Cen Zhu was furious, he didn't expect these people to be so trifling with human life.
