no puppet

Before and after the great heat, just in time for the coming autumn, there were several downpours in succession.

And the construction of that ship was completed just before the beginning of autumn, on a certain extremely hot night.

All the shipwrights who came to help that day, including the ordinary villagers who came to join in the fun, were so excited that they could not fall asleep for a whole night, until the sails of the big ship were hoisted high on the mast, and the entire circular village was still brightly lit.

This ship is more than ten feet long and nearly three feet wide, and can accommodate at least twenty people. Due to the rush of overnight work, the hull itself is not very big, and it is not as luxurious as the merchant ships that entered the island back then. To put it bluntly, it is only a few times larger than the ordinary fishing boats at the pier.

Xie Hengyan called it: "Iron root."

Yin Chu called it "Into the Cloud."

But Una said: "It's better to call it a 'smooth treasure ship'. The so-called smooth sailing and extending in all directions is not exactly the truth!"

Xie Hengyan said: "Then why not call it Yuantong Treasure Boat, it's auspicious and pleasant to hear!"

Yin Chun said: "Since it extends in all directions, just take the word Da, which means auspiciousness, so we might as well call it Yunda Fairy Ship."

Wu Na and Xie Hengyan turned their heads at the same time, glanced at Yin Zhen, and said with great disdain: "Good soil."

Xie Hengyan said: "Yin Zhu's taste... is really bad, did it inherit from your master?"

"..." Yin Chun was speechless, so he could only respond, "Whatever you call it, it has nothing to do with me."

Ever since, the last big ship suddenly had countless names of all kinds.Xie Hengyan likes to call it Tiegen, Yinchun likes to call it Ruyun, and Wuna wants to call it Shunfeng Treasure Ship. Afterwards, the shipwrights came up with countless names, but they couldn't make it to the table. Just listen to the joke.

All of a sudden, the whole Yongcun Village was immersed in an atmosphere of cheering and joy. Everyone couldn't help but be full of expectations for the plan to go to sea by boat in the future.

Unexpectedly... On the second night after the completion of the ship, a heavy rain suddenly fell, and the sea wind was as fierce and powerful as a knife blade. The mast of the ship, which was called the iron root and should be indestructible, was blown off at once. cut a little.

When I got up on the third morning, everyone was staring at each other, and Lao Wang, who had proposed to strengthen the hull earlier, quarreled with his son who insisted on vetoing his opinion on the spot. It was lost in the endless discussions and disputes of the shipwrights, but it disappeared in a moment.

"Okay, okay, didn't you just break half of the wood?" At this moment, Xie Hengyan stood up and said to everyone, "Get a new one tonight, let's get on the boat tomorrow morning, and try it out outside the shallow water first ...No problem, let's go straight away!"

"..." Yin Chun looked at him and said, "Are you serious?"

Xie Hengyan: "Of course I'm serious."

Yin Chun: "Why are you in such a hurry? This ship is obviously still a semi-finished product. If encountering storms and waves at sea, how should we deal with it?"

"That's why I said, try a few laps first, and if it doesn't work, continue to find materials to strengthen the hull!" Xie Hengyan glanced at Yin Chun and said, "What's the matter, Xiao Yin's crew... Do you have an opinion?"

Yin Chun paused, Fang turned his head and said, "No."

As a result, Yin Chun couldn't come up with substantive opinions, and the suggestions of other old shipwrights were not too different from remaking. If it takes another half a year to modify the refined parts, I'm afraid I will be lucky enough to survive in the future. The villagers are less than half of the current number.

As Xie Hengyan said, even if the mast is broken, you can only find a new replacement. Looking at it now, the idea of ​​redoing is obviously not realistic. They are in a hurry to leave the island, and any delay in time is tantamount to consuming life .

Therefore, on this night, including Xie Hengyan, Yin Chun, Lao Wang, Lao Zhang and other family members, once again worked without sleep, and worked all night, in order to repair the mast that was blown off by the wind.

In the early morning of the next day, one person covered two giant panda-like eyes, and finally put the mast back to the bow, but before noon, the sky began to drizzle again.

The situation at this moment is really like a leaky house and continuous night rain.The new boat has only been built for a few days, and the wooden hull has soaked in the tide on the coast ahead of time before it can be launched. It was originally said that it would go around the island for a trial run, but now a large group of people are squatting on the grass near the pier. Under the shed, everyone was full of gloom, as if they didn't know what to do.

"If you want to try it, try it now." Xie Hengyan said, "Who can guarantee that you will never encounter cloudy and rainy weather during the days when you go to sea?"

The old shipwrights beside him had backaches, and when they heard what he said, they just shook their heads and said, "Ordinary people don't have the guts to make troubles. We are getting old, and when it rains, the fishing boats don't dare to go far. , not to mention such a big ship?"

"Try it, there is nothing to be afraid of." Rong Shilian's cold voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.She seldom expresses her opinion on this matter, but today she seemed to be brave, strode forward to push aside the crowd, and said to Xie Hengyan: "Let's go, get on the boat, don't dawdle...it's raining , As for being afraid of becoming like this?"

Xie Hengyan: "Hey... Sister Tang, Tangshui!"

"Sister Lian!" Wu Na also stood up, anxiously holding the corner of Rong Shilian's clothes, "Stop making trouble, it's raining, you can try another day!"

Rong Shilian turned his head, his eyes were cold and unfamiliar.She said: "Early test and late test, don't we all have to try? Our lives are no more than ordinary people. We live a day less than a day, and you have to count how much you have left?"

Wuna said sadly: "Sister Lian..."

"Little monster, get on the boat." Rong Shilian shouted, "It's just a round trip, and I didn't say where I'm going. A group of people are chattering, what are you talking about?!"

As soon as these words came out, there was no doubt that it was a thrilling encouragement to everyone.Rong Shilian, a weak woman, is not afraid at all, so what is there to be afraid of the villagers who want to escape from the island?

In the end, it is just a dead end. Maybe in the future, if you are lucky enough to leave the island, you can survive it?

So not long after, more than a dozen people came out of the straw shed, all of them looked scared and eager to try, and finally even Wuna stood up, saying that it was not safe for Rong Shilian to board the boat alone, no matter what Said that we should come and see together.

At this time, Wu Qian also popped his head out of the crowd, and repeatedly shouted at Una: "Father... I want to go too, I want to go too!"

"Fuck you! Just stay on the shore." Una roared, "We'll be back in a while!"

Wu Qian pursed her lips and said, "Let Yan Yan take me there!"

Xie Hengyan: "..."

"Otherwise, you should stay on the shore." Yin Chun looked at him and said, "It's raining outside, beware of getting sick."

Xie Hengyan shook her head, and only replied, "I'm going."

Yin Chun couldn't resist him, so he took the crutches, put Xie Hengyan on his back, and left the thatched shed together with the villagers, braved the continuous drizzle, and rushed to the bow of the boat in two or three steps.

It was started by them from a sketch, painted and built by themselves, and then modified and perfected continuously, and finally they got the big boat they dreamed of.Although when climbing up the wooden ladder, the deck and the side of the ship creaked under their feet-it was not high-quality wood, they knew it in their hearts, but all the resources in front of them were hard-won, and now the purpose was only to leave the island Going to sea is in itself a final game of life.

After the villagers boarded the boat, Una took the helm for the time being, and the crowd scattered and stood in every corner of the cabin and deck, checking whether there were any signs of damage to the various accessories during the boat.

Holding a wooden crutch in one hand and a paper umbrella in the other, Yin Chun squeezed together with Xie Hengyan at the narrow railing at the stern, watching from afar the hull rubbing against the water surface, causing a series of fleeting snow-white splashes.

At the beginning, I was still wandering around the shallow water beach, and even when I was free in the middle, I was able to say hello to the villagers who were watching on the pier from a long distance away.

Xie Hengyan said: "This boat is... quite stable, but it still wobbles a bit. It wobbles around and makes me dizzy."

Yin Chun looked at him sideways and said after a while, "Do you still want to vomit?"

Xie Hengyan: "I don't think about it for now."

Yin Chun asked again: "Is there any discomfort?"

Xie Hengyan: "...No."

Yin Chun: "Then... it's all settled? Really wait until the day you go to sea, don't change your mind suddenly."

Xie Hengyan hesitated for a moment, looked up at him and said, "Well, actually I..."

"It feels like time flies by so fast." Yin Chun said suddenly, "It's been a whole year. We've been on this island since last fall, and now it's time for autumn again."

"Uh..." Xie Hengyan frowned slightly, and swallowed all the words he wanted to say.After a long time, Fang responded with a voice: "It's pretty fast. If you look at the situation of more than 20 years, didn't they pass by in a blink of an eye?"

Before Yin Chun had time to answer, Xie Hengyan said again: "Have you considered what you should do after leaving the island?"

Yin Chun said: "I..."

"You plan to come back to Feng Town first to find your master, right?" Xie Hengyan asked with a smile.

Yin Chun said helplessly: "Yes." After saying this, he immediately added, "I won't leave you behind, you don't have to worry."

Xie Hengyan still smiled, and took the initiative to take his big hand, but didn't speak out.

"How is it? How's the stern?"

At this time, Rong Shilian's familiar voice sounded in his ears again.Just when Yin Chun and Xie Hengyan turned their heads, they saw her holding one arm, standing at the bottom of the wooden ladder leading to the cabin, staring at them indifferently.

"Nothing special." Yin Zhu said lightly, "I feel all right."

"Although it can't be said to be so unique and dazzling, it took half a year to build." Xie Hengyan answered from the other end, "As long as it can leave this sea area, it is an omnipotent lifesaving ship."

Rong Shilian sneered and said, "You're really thinking about it... In case of accidental disaster at sea, you won't even be able to cry."

Xie Hengyan said: "That's my destiny, and I have nothing to complain about."

"Also, even if you have a big ship now, are you sure you can break through the barrier and go back to the outside world?" Rong Shilian said, "I worked so hard back then, I don't know how many people were killed, but none of them could really go out Yes. You have the strength to toss, are you not afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty?"

Yin Chun turned his head and looked at Xie Hengyan. Finally, Xie Hengyan came out and said to Rong Shilian: "Sister Tangshui, I think the reason why those villagers couldn't get out is because they didn't grasp the real trick."

Rong Shilian narrowed his eyes: "What trick?"

"Just saying it like this may cause you to panic." Xie Hengyan said, "I think... at present, on this island, it is not only the villagers of Yongcun that are trapped, but also those who hide behind the barrier and secretly manipulate everything. that person."

Rong Shilian said, "Who is it? Please speak clearly."

Xie Hengyan said: "It's not clear, Yin Chu and I don't know either. It can only be said that he, like us, desperately wants to escape from the shackles of this island...Since this is the case, everyone wants to go out, why not do it? "

"Little monster, I advise you, you'd better think about the matter clearly, and then make a careful plan." Rong Shilian stepped forward, looked into the puppet's eyes, and said word by word, "You don't even know what you took out. What is it, you dare to leave with it casually? Haven't you thought about the price you will pay?"

Xie Hengyan only said: "Speaking so much, Sister Tangshui, I just want to ask - do you want to leave here?"

Rong Shilian: "I..."

"It's not too late to talk about the grievances and disputes outside the island." Xie Hengyan raised his chin and motioned her to look at Una standing not far away, "Brother Wu is also on the boat, if my sister has any ideas, I'm afraid she won't." Let him know?"

Rong Shilian paused for a moment, then turned away and stopped answering his words.

"Let's go, Yin Chun, let's go to another place to have a look." Xie Hengyan pulled Yin Chun and said, "Obviously we drew the boat by ourselves, no matter how you look at it, everything is different, suddenly it feels so strange!"

Yin Chun glanced at Rong Shilian behind him, then stretched out his arms to embrace Xie Hengyan, and said, "That's natural, the contents of the drawings have been modified to some extent, and it's impossible to follow them all."

Xie Hengyan asked: "You won't make random changes, will you? Will something happen when the boat is halfway through?"

Yin Chun frowned and said, "What are you talking about?"

Xie Hengyan: "I'm not talking nonsense... I'm clearly thinking about it seriously!"

On the same night, at Xu time, the big ship was docking on the north side of the island.Meanwhile, a group of villagers who were waiting at the pier from day to night all carried lanterns to illuminate the road back to time along the way, and surrounded everyone who got off the boat amidst the noisy discussions. group.

The first sentence of the mouth is naturally to ask: "How do you feel?"

"Is the boat shaking a lot?"

"Have you encountered any danger? ... Next time I will try instead?"

However, it is impossible to say that the boat does not shake too much. After a whole half-day journey, let alone ordinary villagers, even Yin Zhu, who has always been well-trained, just jumped off the bow of the boat at this moment. The legs are a little limp, and the face is somewhat ugly.

Everyone said that setting a table and banquet for them can be regarded as "receiving the wind and washing the dust" for this successful return.But Una jumped out and waved his hands again and again: "Fuck the dust! The hull is not stable at all. It will take several days to go from here to a farther place outside. What should I do if it collapses in the middle of the boat?" ?”

When everyone heard the words, they were all surprised: "You mean, the hull needs to be reinforced?"

Wu Na glanced at Rong Shilian and said, "Yes, that's right."

"I told you when the outer panels were installed, you can't just pay attention to speed...you just don't listen, you have to rush!" Old Wang couldn't help but trembling, "It's better now, the hull is as fragile as the boat. It’s like paper, what else do you use to drive to places where the water is deep?”

"It won't collapse so easily." Xie Hengyan hurriedly answered, "You all forgot, is there still Yin Chu?"

Una asked, "What can he do?"

"Supporting an enchantment as big as a ship should be easy to do." Xie Hengyan patted Yin Chun on the shoulder and said, "Yin Chun, get up tomorrow morning, and stick all the parts of the hull that need to be reinforced with talisman paper. Stick it firmly, and find a way to prevent them from collapsing in the middle... Maybe it’s okay to keep the itinerary for a few days?”

Wu Na was stunned and said: "What enchantment to support? What kind of paper?"

"Tomorrow, I'll give it a try." Yin Chun didn't look at Una, but turned around and looked at the towering and huge boat shadow behind him, as if he was looking at the broad road that is about to unfold in the future, everything is unknown, Unforeseen, invisible hidden more risk factors.

He couldn't help but wonder, is it really the right choice to leave the island rashly according to the current situation?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

I have to get up early tomorrow, I really don't have the courage to stay up late, I have to give up my full attendance, but everyone can rest assured, I will not stop changing!

Regarding the deal between Yan Yan and the boss of the island, it will be revealed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, today is just a test ship!

Then, as an example, explain the part that may not be understood:

1. I haven’t found the size of the medium-sized ship. You can refer to the pirate ship in the movie. It can accommodate more than a dozen people. The specific length and width are the size of the warship I searched divided by five, which is about one-fifth. If any professional baby finds any mistakes or omissions, please leave me a message to correct me.

2. Una's attitude towards the ship. He has been complaining about the lack of stability of the ship. He definitely hopes that the longer the time, the better.After all, elder sister Rong Shilian is a phoenix that cannot be kept in a cage, and she will fly away from him as soon as she gets a chance~
