This dock is very big.
There are at least thousands of ships berthing along the quay, and a large part of them are large-scale container terminals. Countless cranes are busy unloading and loading
Very busy.
The cargo ship Wang Xiao and others boarded was Mir 11.
A huge freighter with tens of thousands of tons. There were dozens of crew on board, which was very impressive.
At this moment, the crew of Mir 11 is loading quickly.
One by one, large containers are loaded onto the freighter by crane, and the waterline is constantly sinking.
Wang Xiao four people walk on the deck, under the fat man's leadership, walk slowly toward the cab.
Childe Hua was very bored all the way. Looking at the male sailors, childe Hua was very disappointed: "little brother, are all the sailors on your ship male?"
"Yes," said the fat man
"Why isn't there a beautiful seaman?" The flower childe shrivels shriveled mouth, seem to feel such arrangement is very unreasonable.
The fat man explained, "well Because our cargo ships drift on the sea all the year round, and they are also responsible for the heavy work of carrying goods and so on. The average female seaman can't afford such a job. Naturally, I don't want to come to work! Besides, our route has to cross several very dangerous river basins and Straits every time. There are often pirates and robbers, and it's also common to rob homes and homes. Not to mention the female crew, even the male crew are very reluctant to join the ship. In recent years, the wages of recruitment are getting higher and higher, but it is more and more difficult to recruit people. "
At this point, the fat man pointed to the crew carrying the goods around him and said in a helpless voice: "look, these crew members are all recruited on a temporary basis. They are all old hands. They are forced to come here to take part in the adventure because of their livelihood. "
Wang Xiao looked at the crew around him and found that they were all crooked, old, weak, sick and disabled. They didn't look like a regular shipping company.
Wang Xiao asked: "from here to Jinlu, halfway through a lot of dangerous Straits and rivers?"
Wang Xiao was puzzled.
According to Wang Xiao's understanding, it should be enough to go from Pinghai province to Jinlu and directly across the Pacific Ocean. There is a vast ocean in the middle. Where are the Straits and rivers?
The fat man explained: "you don't know something, leader Wang. The road we take is not the same as the road in the general sense. As for the specific channel, our captain will talk about it carefully with leader Wang later. "
Wang Xiao nodded: "thank you."
The fat man said with a little smile, "you are welcome, leader Wang. This is what I should do."
Young master Hua said at this time: "little brother, there is no female crew on board. It takes you ten days and a half months to go to sea. What if you are lonely and unbearable?"
Wang Xiao had no choice but to glance at the young master Hua.
Wang Xiao thinks that young master Hua is too erotic, and his eroticism is shown openly without any cover up.
Sure enough, he is the same as sun Dafu.
Wang Xiao can't help but quicken her pace and walk to the front. I don't want to go side by side with Mr. Hua. Gu Long and Yao Lao also moved forward quickly one after another, and they were no longer associated with Hua Gongzi.
Obviously, the fat man was speechless to huagongzi, but under the invisible pressure, he replied honestly: "what else can I do? I can only find a way to solve it myself."
Flower childe feels very disappointed: "is your captain also like this?"
The fat man asked, "what do you mean by that?"
Huagongzi said with a smile, "I mean, will your captain take Xiaomi or something?"
The fat man shook his head: "No. Our captain is not like that
Fat man can't look up to young man Hua. He thinks young man Hua is too obscene. But the fat man didn't dare to show it, so he had to explain patiently: "our captain has been shipping for 30 years, and has experienced numerous setbacks and big waves. But there has never been a thing that has corrupted the captain's morality. Our captain is a model for many freight companies! "
Young master Hua has no interest in whether the captain is an example. He is very disappointed at the moment.
Flower childe still does not give up, chase after a way: "so you this along the way, can you stop at some place?"
The fat man said: "of course, the route we take is different from what ordinary people know. It's a long way. We need to stop three to five times to complete the supply of oil, food and water. Otherwise, it will be a big deal
Flower childe immediately two eyes shine: "so, along the way, there must be a lot of towns or something?"
"Of course," said the fat man. We stop at the biggest towns along the way, which are very prosperous. It's mostly a paradise for many navigators and adventurers. "
"That's enough, that's enough..." While drooling, young master Hua began to look forward to the future. He thought that there must be a lot of beautiful women in the towns where they stop, and then he would have a good time Oh, no, it's not as simple as playing. Playboy wants to get drunk, go straight to dozens of beauties, and then surround himself in the middle, living an imperial life."Gaga, Gaga..."
Young master Hua is very happy. He can't hide his smile when he catches up with Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao took a look: "young master Hua, why are you so happy with your smile?"
"I said, brother, life is short. We should have fun in time. I said that you people are too old-fashioned to find happiness in time. You are like my brother Hua. Although you have just set sail, you have planned a happy journey in the future. "
Wang Xiao said slightly: "this time we have a great responsibility, life and death line. How many people worry that it's too late? Why do you still say it's a happy journey? "
He said with a smile: "Hey, brother, you are not sun Dafu. Even if I tell you, you won't understand. I still won't tell you. "
Wang Xiao is very speechless and no longer talks nonsense with Mr. Hua.
"Master Wang, this is the cockpit. The captain is in it. You go in! " Fat man took the initiative to open the cockpit door for Wang Xiao and others, and then welcomed them to enter: "my name is fat seven, is the captain's assistant. If you need anything, please tell me to do it at any time! "
Fat seven is very respectful to several people, Wang Xiao nodded slightly: "OK, thank you!"
It seems that Lei Ming is quite reliable in his work. The ticket he got for himself is very high.
Entering the cockpit, Wang Xiao saw a large control room. As a giant freighter, it is equipped with all the necessary equipment, which is very complicated.
On the other side of the cockpit, there is a lot of leisure space.
A pair of huge leather sofa, placed in the middle of a very imposing mahogany tea table, very tall.
The captain was sitting on the sofa brewing a pot of tea. When he saw Wang Xiao and others coming in, he got up warmly and said, "gang leader Wang, please sit down quickly!"
To welcome the four to their seats, Wang Xiao began to look at the captain.
But the blue eyes of the captain in his forties show that he is a foreigner or a half breed.
But to Wang Xiao's surprise, he is a master!
Steps!
Does a captain need to reach the ground level?
Is this sea lane really dangerous?
"Lord Wang, I knew you would come very early, so I have prepared the first-class tea for you early. Please The captain poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then he took a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Wang Xiao said slightly: "the tea is good!"
The captain said with a smile, "my name is mark. I'm a half breed! I'm really proud that the leader Wang can drive my boat. "
Wang Xiao said with a smile, "Captain mark, you are very kind. This time I'm going to Jinlu. I'll trouble you a lot on the way! "
Mark will be very respectful: "don't say that, leader Wang. It's my honor to help you go to Jinlu. It's just that the living conditions of this ship are very poor. I'm afraid I'm going to aggrieve the leader of Wang Gang. "
Wang Xiao said: "yes, Captain mark. I've just heard that our ship doesn't take the usual course? "
Mark looked around and said, "that's right. Because this time we are on the illegal crossing route, we can't take the ordinary waterway. "
Young master Hua asked, "is there any other route from here to Jinlu besides crossing the Pacific Ocean?"
Mark smiles: "yes! What Mir 11 does all the year round is smuggling. It has never crossed an ordinary waterway. "
Young master Hua asked, "what channel are you taking?"
Mark said, "we're going on land and water in summer."
"Land and water in summer?" Wang Xiao was puzzled. Wang Xiao had never heard of the word before.
Mark said slightly: "gang leader Wang spends most of his time in the Chinese river and lake. I don't know that it's normal for Da Xia to have water and land. In fact, Da Xia Shui Lu is a special waterway, a waterway discovered by ancient adventurers. "
Wang Xiao is very curious: "all ears."
Mark said: "in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, a poet named Li Taibai wrote a poem that has been passed down through the ages: if you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky and run to the sea and never return In fact, this is not the water of the Yellow River understood by ordinary people, but the land and water in summer! "
Wang Xiao murmured this poem, only feeling that the poem was full of the momentum of the vast universe and the vast heaven and earth:" the water of the Yellow River in Li Taibai's poem comes up in the sky, and ordinary people understand that it is because the Yellow River is so vast that the waterfall hangs upside down, as if it came from the sky. In fact, it's not as if it's from the sky. It's just that the sky is not what ordinary people call the sky, but the land and water in summer. "
Wang Xiao several people are very serious, mark continued: "you must be very curious, where is the land and water in summer?"
Mark pointed to the sky at the top of his finger and said, "in fact, geographically speaking, the land and water in summer are above the sky above us, just invisible to ordinary people."
The flower childe stares at the top of his head: "since the land and water of summer are above our head, why can't we see?"Mark said, "it's invisible to the naked eye, because it's land and water in summer!"
I don't know much about it.
Mark turned to stare at Wang Xiao and said, "the water on land in summer is the water in the sky, which contains aura. Every plant, every tree, every sand and every soil in summer contains aura. So the whole summer land and water world can be suspended above our heads. Because they have aura. "
Wang Xiao was stunned: "is there such a good thing? Is there a place full of aura in the world
Mark said, "that's right. Not only do ordinary people not know about the land and water affairs in the summer, but even many powerful practitioners do not know about the land and water affairs in the summer. "
Wang Xiao was stunned. If Mark hadn't said so much today, Wang Xiao didn't know the existence of land and water in summer.
Mark continued: "ordinary people only know that there are seven continents and four oceans in the world. The Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. What they don't know is that there is actually the fifth ocean in the world - the land and water in summer! "
