Chapter 1014: A Man of Great Wisdom
Shui Ling smiled awkwardly, "I just wanted to see if there was any mechanism."
Soul laughed, "Don't bother, there are no mechanisms, it's just a whole wall."
"Ah?" Shui Ling is a little bored, so what is it doing in there?
The soul continued: "This is the bow of the ship. There is a mezzanine inside, but this mezzanine hides the captain's personal belongings."
Shui Ling asked doubtfully: "Since it is a whole wall, how can he put his personal belongings?"
The soul put the things in his hands on the ground, "Every captain must burn incense and make offerings when he inherits the ship. If he supports me, I will work for him."
Shui Ling was dumbfounded, could he still play like this?
The soul said: "Wait for me."
It turned around and entered the mezzanine again. Every time it came out, it would take a box that could be covered with both hands.
It seems that it can't hold large objects either.
After waiting for a while, there were more than thirty boxes on the ground. The soul said: "That's it. There is nothing in it."
Shui Ling curiously picked up a wooden box. It looked inconspicuous, but when she opened it, she saw a ruby as big as an egg. The ruby was red and transparent, much like a large ball of fresh blood.
"Is this a ruby?"
Soul said: "Yes, this is the treasure of the city lord of the last city where we settled."
Shui Ling's mouth twitched, "How many cities have you robbed?"
Soul shook his head, "I don't know, I can't remember, after all, it's been so many years."
Shui Ling nodded and asked, "Are these all for me?"
Soul smiled and said: "Of course, as a reward for helping me, no one will find it if I leave it there."
After a pause, it continued: "This boat will become very heavy after I leave, but one good thing is that it is fireproof."
Shui Ling nodded, not knowing what the principle was, but there were all kinds of wonders in the world, so he could figure everything out.
"can we start?"
Soul nodded, feeling a little sad, "Let's get started. Although I have lived a long time, I am still tired of it."
Shui Ling sighed and began to transcend it.
After the souls left, Shui Ling threw all the boxes on the ground into the space. The boxes did not enter the underground warehouse but were placed on the floor of the space office.
Shui Ling didn't think too much, left the ship and returned to Zhang Xinyi's place.
Zhang Xinyi was talking to the girl.
When they saw Shui Ling coming back, they asked in unison: "Have you eaten?"
Shui Ling laughed and said, "No, I just went to the boat to take a look. There are trees on both sides blocking it. It looks very stable. This way, you won't worry about it turning over when you put food in it."
Zhang Xinyi smiled and said: "The village chief said that tomorrow we will start digging a trench under the boat, let the boat sink a little deeper into the ground, then pile up stones around it, and then fill it with sand."
"This way you won't be afraid of it falling over, what do you think?"
Shui Ling didn't expect that the village chief had such a way. No wonder he put the boat in the woods, obviously he wanted to have double protection.
"Very good. Have you had lunch?"
Zhang Xinyi nodded, "Qin Jia made seafood porridge today. Try it. It's delicious."
Shui Ling took a look at the girl he rescued. Her name was Qin Jia, and she was very hard-working just like her last name.
"I'll give it a try. It seems like there's nothing to do now."
Zhang Xinyi shook her head, "How could it be? There is a strong tide tonight, so I have to go to the beach to wait in the middle of the night."
Shui Ling looked at her in surprise, "Big tide? How big is it? What can it bring?"
Zhang Xinyi suddenly said with longing: "It is said that the founder of this village was brought by the tide. The founder is very good-looking."
Shui Ling looked sideways, Zhang Xinyi was a bit crazy at this moment.
But the tide... will bring some big fish and so on, and if you are lucky, you can also pick up corals.
"I understand, let's eat first."
Shuiling went to eat, while Zhang Xinyi and Qin Jia continued to process the medicinal materials.
Baitao ran over and shouted: "Shui Ling, Shui Ling."
Shuiling put down the bowl and asked, "What happened here?"
Baitao smiled and said, "My brother can stand up now."
Shui Ling raised his eyebrows, the people here are really skinny, and they can actually stand up after being so seriously injured."
Baitao smiled and said, "The village chief said it was thanks to you for killing those pirates and saving my brother, so I want to thank you."
"I have been busy repairing the house that was burned down in the past few days. I only have time now, and tonight is the spring tide, so he said that you can pick out the things picked up on the spring tide, and you can divide the rest after you choose."
Shuiling shook her head, "No need, we have enough food."
Baitao blinked her eyes and said mischievously: "The tide will bring many beautiful stones. If you are lucky, there will also be corals and pearls. You can choose them as you like and keep them as dowries in the future."
Shui Ling chuckled and said, "I am already married, but my husband and I were separated by the sea water. I will go find him in a while."
Speaking of her husband, Shui Ling secretly cursed himself. He had been pirates and destroying the ship these days, but he forgot to leave a message for Gong Qianyu.
Baitao looked at Shui Ling in surprise, "You...are actually married."
Shui Ling nodded, "Yeah."
Baitao was very disappointed, "Okay, I also want you to be my sister-in-law."
Shui Ling glanced sideways, "No, I have a husband."
"Okay." Baitao gave up completely.
The four women had endless topics to talk about when they got together, and they chatted straight into the evening.
Baitao wanted to go back to cook, so the room became quiet.
When Baitao brought the meal, she said in a panic: "Oh, you don't know, that big ship is haunted."
Shui Ling was startled and looked at her suspiciously, "Haunted?"
Baitao nodded, "Yes, originally the boat was very light and the wood was yellow, but when they went to look at it in the afternoon, they found that the wood of the boat had turned blood red."
"Although the color is pretty, it's too unusual. What could it be if it's not haunted?"
Shui Ling burst out laughing, "Maybe it's a problem with the wood. It turns yellow when soaked in water, but turns red after it slowly dries out of water."
"Huh?" Baitao looked Shui Ling up and down, "Why are you saying the same thing as the village chief said?"
Shui Ling narrowed his eyes slightly. Did the village chief know about this kind of wood? He explained this way because he was afraid of causing panic?
No matter what, if the village chief controls everything, I won't join in the fun.
"The village chief is a man of great wisdom. Listen to him and you will be right."
Baitao nodded in agreement, "Yes, we all think the village chief is right, but we didn't expect you to be so smart."
The corner of Shui Ling's mouth twitched, she could only make it up like this, otherwise it wouldn't scare you to death if she told the truth.
Zhang Xinyi smiled and said: "Okay, eat quickly, and then go to bed early. You have to get up in the middle of the night to chase the tide, otherwise you will take away a lot of things when the tide goes out."
The three of them started eating immediately, and Baitao went home to eat.
At midnight, Shuiling got up first, went to the latrine, pressed the ring and said, "Gong Qianyu, where are you?"
It's a pity that the ring didn't respond, and Shui Ling didn't pay attention either. He would definitely reply when he heard it.
