Chapter 16 Chapter 16
"Captain, please step aside."
"Ah? Oh." The captain moved his feet to the side in a daze to make way for the crew members who were holding moisture-proof pads, his eyes were bloodshot from the excessive force, and his expression was tired.
He has been sleepless for two days and nights, his mind is full of Gu Baiqing's words.Inner ghosts are all people who are in the same boat. What does inner ghost mean?Is there any value in breeding ghosts on board?He couldn't figure it out, so he could only stare at everyone on the boat, but after looking around, he felt that everyone was like a ghost, but what is a ghost?
This is an endless loop... It caused him a splitting headache, and his vision became more and more blurred.
"Captain, are you all right?"
With a slight push on the shoulder, the captain turned his head and met Wei Lan's worried eyes.
On this boat, the only two people who can't be ghosts are Gu Baiqing and Wei Lan.
Wei Lan was brought out by him alone, and he has been with him longer than Gu Baiqing.In the beginning, no one was willing to take a woman out to sea. One was physical problems, and the other was physical problems.Floating on the sea every day, no matter how careful you are, you will inevitably have some illnesses. Now that you are sick and have no medicine, you have to grit your teeth and endure it. Even the strong men have died countless times, and the women are weaker... plus women During the menstrual period, the wind at sea never stops, and it is unknown what is hidden under the water. Will the smell of blood stimulate those elusive sea monsters?No one knows, and no one is willing to take the whole boat to gamble on a possibility.There are also some unspeakable group characteristics. A ship at sea is an isolated island, and women themselves do not want to get close to the closed space where men gather together. Over time, it has become the default rule not to bring women on board.
But he was the first to break the rules.
The reason can no longer be investigated, but it is definitely the right choice.
Even now, Wei Lan is the only woman who can follow the ship, and has been approved by all the captains.Reputation is not easy to accumulate, but it only takes one time to destroy it.Wei Lan's thoughts are unpredictable, but she is obsessed with life and the sea. He may not believe in her character, but he has no doubts about this.
It made him uncomfortable to be watched, and Wei Lan didn't dodge, but just pushed him lightly again, and said softly: "Tired? Otherwise, go down and rest first, I'll watch here first."
Closing his eyes felt sore and swollen, and the feeling of fatigue almost overwhelmed him, but the captain still shook his head: "Where's the bone spirit?"
"He's on the mast." Wei Lan motioned him to look over.
Standing upright on the mast in mid-air, Gu Baiqing's clothes were swollen by the strong wind, looking precarious, making him sweat when looking from below.The captain frowned: "Let him down quickly."
Wei Lan nodded, and brought him over in a blink of an eye.
After blowing the cold wind for too long, Gu Baiqing's whole body was exuding a slight chill, and his eye circles were also red. When he saw the captain, he squeezed his frozen hands into his arms without politeness, and complained pitifully: " Freezing me."
The ice-slag-like hand stuck to it, and the captain was so cold that his mind became clear. He pushed him away with a slap, and cursed angrily: "It's fine if you freeze to death, but you still want to drag me to give you a back?"
It was even more uncomfortable when the hands that had been warm for a second were exposed to the coolness again.Seeing that the captain was hopeless, Gu Baiqing turned his eyes and looked at Wei Lan, so scared that she quickly hid back, shouting while hiding: "If you dare to reach out your hand, I will chop off your paw! "
"Is there still compassion in this world?" Gu Baiqing was also angry, turned around and left angrily.
"Hey, wait..." Only then did the captain remember that he had something to ask, but the angry bone-boned shrewdly heard it and refused to look back.
As Gu Baiqing said at night, the temperature started to cool down, the patter of rain was mixed with snowflakes, the deck was soon wet, and it became chaotic when one stepped on it.The people who were still reinforcing the sail ropes had to speed up, and Wei Lan temporarily transferred a few people up, and everyone hurriedly rushed, and finally completed the work on the deck before the wind and snow intensified.
The cabin has also been turned upside down, and all the beds are gathered into a circle. In order to block the invasion of the penetrating wind, wooden boards were moved out of the cargo warehouse, a temporary partition was made, and the outside was covered with plastic sheets.From the outside, it looks like an abrupt and improved yurt, and you have to lift the curtain to get in and out.
Later in the night, the wind became stronger, and the planks of the boat were creaked by the waves.Gu Baiqing had no choice but to order to suspend the progress and lower the anchor to fix the hull.The mast could not go up, and the deck was soon covered with snow. It was too cold, and the number of people staying behind to work was reduced to two, and they all shrank to the second floor to avoid the wind.
It was cold and people were lazy, and those who were not on duty after a busy day, had a hasty dinner, and then all lay back in bed and gathered in one place to keep warm.
Gu Baiqing was freezing during the day, but at night he had a fever, so he was forced to lock him in the room.Wei Lan specially ordered that no one should disturb him.
Am I a virus?Hearing the sound of footsteps walking back and forth outside the door gradually subsided, Gu Baiqing curled up under the blanket and could not stop cursing.I was so tired that I couldn't fall asleep even if I lay down, Gu Baiqing boredly took out the playing cards from his collection, wondering if he could go out and play after Wei Lan fell asleep.
Coincidentally, Wei Jin opened the door and came in, Gu Baiqing didn't even have time to hold the poker in his hand, so he half-sat on the bed without embarrassment, staring at each other, speechless for a while.
"Either come in or go out, what are you doing with the door open? It's freezing." Gu Baiqing reacted quickly, complaining, while secretly stuffing the poker cards in his hand into the bed.
Wei Jin's reaction was faster. It took less than two seconds to close the door and go to bed to dig out the playing cards.
Gu Baiqing only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and when he woke up, his hands were empty, and he was angry immediately: "You dare to snatch my poker cards!"
Turning a blind eye to someone's anger, Wei Jin stretched out his big hand, and directly pushed Gu Baiqing down with him, and then tucked the corner of the quilt thoughtfully, wrapped the person into a rice dumpling, and lay down with his iron arms firmly Locked beside him, her tone was firm: "Wei Lan said that you are sick and need to rest."
Gu Baiqing struggled for a few rounds, but was still firmly locked under his arm. He simply didn't move, and became annoyed when he opened his mouth: "I'm the first mate, you listen to her, don't you listen to me?" Wei Lan What good did it do him?Ensnared people so quickly?
"you are sick."
"I'm not sick, I'm just tired." Gu Baiqing argued.
"You're sick," Wiggin looked at him, "you're blushing."
"You're overwhelming me so much, can you not blush?" Gu Baiqing rolled his eyes angrily, not forgetting his playing cards, sparks burst out from his peach eyes, with an astonishing momentum, "I'll give you the last one!" One chance, hand over my playing cards, or I will let you stay on the deck!"
"No." Wei Jin was unmoved, "Wei Lan said to watch you carefully, not to let you play poker, not to let you go out, not to let you open your eyes."
As he said that, Wei Jin stretched out his big hand, and pressed it directly on Gu Baiqing's face.
"...you're covering my nose!"
The two quarreled for a long time, but Gu Baiqing still couldn't escape from the clutches.It was pitch black in front of his eyes, and the subtle sense of touch became more prominent. The cool fingers covering the skin relieved the heat, and the fatigue after struggling also dissipated a little. He could only helplessly blink in the palm of others, desperately I found that my physical strength was indeed inferior to that of a human being.
With a movement of Wei Jin's fingers, the deep voice seemed to be close to his ears: "Don't blink."
Do you care about blinking?Take chicken feathers as arrows!
It's okay if he doesn't say anything, Gu Baiqing's hands and feet were weak, and he was still panting heavily, but his eyes blinked desperately.
Wei Jin: "..."
"Give me back the cards, and I promise to rest honestly." Gu Baiqing thoughtfully hinted.
"No."
"..."
Gu Baiqing didn't move and didn't speak, his eyes calmed down obediently, his breathing slowed down a little bit, and he seemed to be asleep.The room finally became quiet, and the chill began to spread. Wei Jin looked at the people under him vigilantly for a while, and after confirming that he was probably really asleep, he withdrew his palm, pulled up the corner of the quilt, and retracted himself in.
However, he was relieved just now, and the next second, the cold wind suddenly picked up, and he felt extra weight on his body.
Wei Jin: "..."
Gu Baiqing sat on his waist, his legs stuck on both sides of the quilt, his knees pressed against Wei Jin's arm through layers of obstacles, restraining all possible struggles from a high altitude, his eyes and brows were full of pride: "Soldiers never tire of cheating, boy .”
Wiggin closed his eyes, pretending he wasn't there.
"Tsk." Gu Baiqing was thinking about his poker cards, he couldn't touch them through the quilt, he was afraid of being countered when he stretched them in, and he was intimidated and not easy to use, so he didn't know what to do with him for a while, so he could only bend down , patiently and kindly coaxed me, "I just have such a deck of cards. I take it out to feel it and I don't want to go out to play. I promise to have a good rest. You can return it to me first. In this way, I will give it to you tomorrow." Catch ten fish, and the matter between us will be over."
Wiggin opened his eyes and studied the ceiling intently.
"I'm just such a thing that can pass the time. Wei Lan dare not touch it. Are you stupid? She asked you to control me, and you still take it seriously? She is setting you up, understand?"
"..."
"Really not?"
"..."
Gu Baiqing said whatever he said, but Wei Jin was unmoved, he didn't even look at him. On the contrary, the more he talked, the more tempered he became, and soon he felt bored.Frustrated, he tilted his body on the spot, and his head hit the person's shoulder. Before he could vent his anger, when his body hurt, he was directly pinched by his arm and thrown aside, and rolled into the bed with a swipe.
Ok?
Gu Baiqing blinked away his dizziness, turned his head to see, Wei Jin had already turned around, and was still lying quietly on the bed.
What did he just... see?
