Chapter 40 The giant ship on the sea 4

In the public area on the first floor of the restaurant, Qiuli took out a pan-fried bun on a plate, filled a bowl of porridge with some salty tea, brought it to the back of the restaurant and sat down.

There are two waiters in the restaurant, a man and a woman. They are two young people. The man looks very honest and honest, while the woman is a bit thin with short hair.

Their names were easily known from the duty list at the door. The man's name was Li Zhongshi, and the woman's name was Fang Xiaoshui.

There were a lot of people eating, about 40 people in the bustling place.

There must be players mixed in here. Just looking at them, they all looked natural. After a few glances, she felt dazzled and quickly gave up observing.

Qiuli was very distressed. How could she be a cook to complete such a thing as detective reasoning? But it wouldn’t work if she didn’t complete it. Let’s find a few more useful clues. It would cost 1,000 points to find a mosquito. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.

I finished my breakfast with a sigh, and was surprised to find that today's breakfast had received unanimous praise.

She looked at the favorable impressions of the crew members in the restaurant. At the same time, the "cooking time compression" progress bar in her mind loosened and began to slowly climb one level.

She felt happy and relaxed. There were a lot of people here, so it wouldn't take long for her skills to be upgraded.

The public area on the first floor is divided into a canteen and an activity area. In addition to newspapers and magazines, the activity area also has some games. It is too early and there is no one inside.

When she got to the deck, the first mate was already waiting for her.

Looking up, several chirping seagulls were rotating around the hull of the ship. The sea breeze was blowing and the hull of the ship was stable. Standing on the deck felt like standing on flat ground.

She saw the name of the ship: Blue Bird Wings, with square fonts painted on the side of the ship.

At the bow of the ship, there were more than a dozen people standing on the deck, gathered near the fishing nets, chatting and laughing.

A muscular man with his upper body naked waved to the first mate.

He is a boatswain. Qiu Li saw him last night. During the day, he looked very energetic. He was about thirty years old, with a shaved head, a lean body, and obvious muscle lines.

The first mate responded with a smile, turned around and asked Qiuli: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the harvest."

His kind smile dissipated some of the sharpness in his eyes.

The fishy smell around here is getting stronger.

Below the front of the deck is a storage box for fish, which is very cold.

Qiuli followed the first mate to the edge of the storage box, and her nose was instantly filled with fishy smell. She touched her nose. People nearby were accustomed to the fishy smell and didn't care at all.

The first mate walked to the other side of the box, looked into the storage box, and muttered: "This guy is quite capable."

He was praising the boatswain. It seemed like they had a good personal relationship.

The boatswain put down the empty fishing net in his hand, handed it to the sailor beside him, turned around and strode towards them.

The fishing net on the other side was slowly being lifted out of the water, and the pulleys were tightened. Some people exclaimed: "How heavy this must be!"

"Today is God's blessing. There are so many fish!" A sailor said in dialect with a smile.

There was a loud "clang" sound, which could not reach the defense. The pulley was spinning and fell from the boom. The steel rope on the side suddenly tightened. A sailor screamed and his whole body was bounced away and fell into the sea instantly.

Several sailors immediately ran to the edge of the deck and looked down.

In the chaos, Qiuli was pushed hard from behind. Her body instantly lost her balance and fell into the storage box.

In a flash of lightning, her left hand was pulled hard, and she was suspended in the air. A sharp pain came from her dangling arm, and her feet were empty and powerless.

She was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest, "Don't panic, I've got you." She raised her head and looked up, and it was the boatswain who caught her.

He was worried that Qiuli's random shaking of her body would increase the burden on her hands, so he added: "I have a very firm grip, don't worry."

He was lying on the deck, holding firmly on the edge of the box with one hand, his fingertips turning white from excessive exertion, and holding Qiuli's left wrist tightly with the other hand.

The watch cut into the flesh of her wrist. Qiuli felt pain and endured the pain. She tried her best to stretch her right hand upwards. Within a few seconds, the first mate who had recovered quickly also lay on the ground and reached down to pull her out.

His right hand was also firmly grasped.

The two of them exerted force together, and Qiuli was pulled to the deck.

Qiuli collapsed on the ground, not caring to calm down, and immediately looked behind her. Behind her was a noisy crowd. In addition to salvaging sailors who fell into the sea, there were also people watching the excitement. It seemed that she had just fallen.

No one noticed except the three of them.

Qiuli felt cold in her heart. Players cannot kill without reason, but this kind of damage is not considered killing. So, is this a test?

The storage box is very high, and there are broken ice cubes underneath. If it falls, although you won't die, you will at least suffer fractures.

Or maybe it's not the player but the NPC who takes action.

Her mind went through a thousand twists and turns, and her eyes ran across the backs and sides of these people. She was as frightened as a bird, no matter how she looked at these people behind her, they all seemed to have bad intentions.

The boatswain bent down and waved his finger in front of her eyes: "Are you scared?" His voice was younger than his appearance, and it sounded somewhat pleasant.

Qiuli blushed and got up from the ground. The shirt on her body was stained again. Her wrist seemed to be broken. Her arm was sore. She didn't know if it was strained. She looked away and looked at the bosun and the others. Sincerely

Thank you politely: "Thank you, thank you."

The first mate looked guilty and took a step back: "Just thank him. I shouldn't have brought you here. It's all my fault."

"It was an accident. It's none of your business. Besides, I'm fine. You guys go ahead and get busy. I'll go over there and take a look." Qiuli pointed to the crowd gathering place at the railing behind.

The bosun nodded and hurried into the crowd, followed closely by the first mate.

Qiuli broke away from the large group and lay down in front of the railing on the other side. First she stared at the faces of the onlookers. She wanted to remember them. Then she grabbed the railing tightly and looked down.

The fishing net was pulled in the opposite direction, with the pulley in the middle being dropped, and the other side being taut with the cable bolts on the ship. The things in the fishing net were still struggling with the cables.

The rope made a "squeaking, squeaking" friction sound.

"Holy shit, boss, how big is this thing in the net?" a sailor asked the boatswain who squeezed in.

The sailor who fell into the sea on the other side had grabbed the lifebuoy, was pulled to the side of the ship, and was struggling to climb up.

The boatswain looked at the rope that was being tightened, his face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Stay away! Hurry!"

A few seconds later, the joint of the pulley broke with a "bang", and it slid down and hit the side of the ship. After a few bounces, it was pulled into the sea by the things in the fishing net. In a moment, it disappeared together with the fishing net.

The rope on the other side broke and made an explosion sound. It hit the deck several times and finally stopped near the rope bolt. The crowd dodged quickly and no one was hurt this time.

The boatswain breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and pointed at the sailors watching: "You guys, put your things away, we can't catch fish today."

The lid of the huge fish box was closed, and Qiuli was already walking back. She took off her watch on the way, and saw two strangulation marks on her left hand, and the one near the front was bleeding.

She knew there was a small medical room in the public area and saw it during breakfast.

Everyone on the boat was performing their duties, and not many people were in the public area in the morning.

There was no one in the medical room. She waited for a while and decided to do it herself. There were regular disinfectants on the table. She took out alcohol cotton and disinfected the broken wrist first, then sprayed it with the solution. The wound was not deep. She

He shook his wrist and moved freely.

There were footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a beard and a Mediterranean hairstyle walking in. He frowned when he saw her inside.

Qiuli immediately took a preemptive strike. She pointed to the injured part, "Well, I didn't see anyone, so..."

"Just whatever!" The man said angrily, reaching out and grabbing her. Qiuli stepped back, staggered, and leaned against the table.

"Don't call me uncle outside. I've told you so many times. Show me the wound. What are you hiding from?" The man lowered his voice and looked around.
