I rushed outside the cabin and saw that there was nothing strange on the ship. The crew was working as usual and doing what they were supposed to do.
Nakano Yunzi opened the first cabin and saw no one inside. Then they went to the third cabin to check, with Lin Chuang following behind. They found Liu Deshan humming with his arms bare, his upper body covered with bandages, and the bandages were full of blood.
.
"Put on your clothes! Aren't you afraid of being exposed?" Yunzi Nakano said coldly.
"It's too..., no, Miss Ye, can you give me some medicine, it hurts too much. Bah..." Liu Deshan said with a grin.
"Bear it!" Nakano Yunzi uttered two words and closed the cabin door with a bang.
"What sound?"
Nakano Yunzi asked Lin Chuang.
After hearing this, Lin Chuang put the gun into his waist and signaled Nakano Yunzi to put away the gun too, saying: "Maybe we were too guilty, so we were frightened. It sounded like drumming. Listen, it's
Not very rhythmic?"
"Why are you guilty? I'm not guilty. Well, I'm just playing the drums."
"The sound is coming from the stern of the ship. Let's take a look."
Lin Chuang said and hurriedly walked down the gangway.
The sound came from a ship-shaped building at the stern of the ship that was similar in appearance to the Jianglong. Li Yuewang and some boatmen were surrounding it, eyes closed, hands clasped together, and mumbling something.
Kameda also prayed among the boatmen, but his eyes were not closed and he was looking around.
Seeing this scene, Lin Chuang whispered to Nakano Yunzi: "It seems that the boatmen are holding a sailing ceremony."
"Yeah." Yunzi Nakano nodded.
"Damn, you ruined my good deeds. Bah!" Lin Chuang cursed in a low voice and spat.
"Hehe, keep your voice down, in such a solemn place, if Mr. Li hears you swearing, he will get angry with you." Nakano Yunzi's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile.
At this time, the sound in the boat-shaped building changed again. In addition to the drums, gongs and cymbals were added, and the rhythm became faster.
"It sounds good. It sounds like beating drums to scold Cao. Listen." Infected by the sound of gongs and drums, Lin Chuang became interested and stood behind the crowd to watch.
After a while, the sound of gongs and drums stopped, and Li Yuewang asked everyone to go to work. When he saw Lin Chuang and Nakano Yunzi, he came over and said, "Did I disturb you two?"
"Isn't that possible? Where do I think the cannons will be fired?" Lin Chuang said.
"Mr. Hua was joking, how could the cannon be so loud?" Li Yuewang said with a smile.
Hey, this boss Li is also a wonderful person.
"Boss Li, are you doing a boat launching ceremony?" Lin Chuang asked.
"right."
Li Yuewang pointed to the boat-shaped building and introduced: "This is called a boat drum. It is popular in our hometown of Fenghua to pray for safety in this way. Therefore, every time a ship sails, the boatmen will knock it and knock it for good luck."
"Oh, that's it." Lin Chuang nodded.
"We are about to enter the Yangtze River. The boat will rock a little more violently at the entrance. You two should please go back to the cabin." Li Yuewang said.
Lin Chuang felt the rocking of the ship, and it felt really powerful.
With more than 3,000 tons of cargo loaded, the shaking is still so severe. If it were an empty ship, how much would it be shaking?
"Boss Li, I have a question for you."
"Mr. Hua, please speak."
"Without the cargo, is the ship shaking a lot?" Lin Chuang asked curiously.
"Mr. Hua is from the north. He is not very familiar with things on the ship."
"Yes, I am from Shandong, from the plains of western Shandong. I have never seen a boat since I was a child."
"That's no wonder. In fact, this is not a problem here. Small boats like the Jianglong have ballast stones. Of course, we can't use stones. They take up too much space and are not easy to carry. So we thought of a way to use them.
Salt ballast tank.”
"Salt?"
"Yes. The salt settles and is easy to transport."
"How many tons of salt are needed for ballast?"
"No less than ten tons."
"Oh, I understand."
"It's windy on the boat, so you two should go back to the cabin. Especially Mr. Hua, who's not used to riding on a boat, it's starting to feel strange, and I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it for a while."
"Boss Li, go and do your work. Don't worry about us. Let's take a stroll and look at the boats to satisfy our curiosity." Lin Chuang said.
"Okay, then please feel free to do it."
Li Yuewang said that and went back to the cockpit.
When Lin Chuang said he was going around, he actually wanted to take a look at the strange man and woman.
He always felt that there was a relationship between Yunzi Nakano and these two people.
Moreover, if you don’t live on the third or second floor, but find a place to hide on the first floor, how can it feel so mysterious?
"Sir, please go back to the cabin, I'm dizzy..." Yunzi Nakano put her hand on her forehead, shook it, and lay in Lin Chuang's arms.
"Okay, okay, I forgot that you grew up in the Northeast and are not used to riding on boats." Lin Chuang had no choice but to give up the idea of exploring the secret and helped Yunzi Nakano back to his residence.
After this fuss, both of them lost interest in continuing. Yunzi Nakano said she was dizzy, so she returned to the bunk and lay down.
Lin Chuang also felt a little uncomfortable, so he lay down on the bunk and began to worry.
He was thinking about two questions.
First, who are those two people? Could it be related to Nakano Yunko’s conspiracy? If so, what roles will those two people play?
The second is how to break Nakano Yunzi's situation.
In fact, it is very simple to break her situation, as long as Chongqing cooperates.
But the problem now is that Tian Biyu doesn't know the news about being coerced by Yunzi Nakano, so Chongqing doesn't know either. How can they cooperate tacitly?
Apart from this, there is another way, which is to find a way to shift the suspicion of leaking information onto others.
For example, Liu Deshan.
If possible, you can do some tricks on him - of course, Lin Chuang is at a loss as to how.
But Nakano Yunko pestered him and refused to leave at all. Except for Kameda and other four special agents on the ship, they were all honest shipwrights.
Li Yuewang is very capable, but he is from Qin Jiangchun. He is obviously trying to curry favor with the Japanese, but he will not be used for his own purposes.
With no information, no one to use, and oneself trapped again, isn't this a hero's death?
After feeling worried for a while, Lin Chuang thought again: "Grandma, what the hell, I have cut off Hua Yichang's contact line. This Nanjing connection will definitely be fruitless. Even if Nakano Yunzi doubts me, what can he do?
?I’m not the only insider. It’s estimated that she will increase her surveillance on me, and it’s not ruled out that she will use some underhanded tactics, that’s all. At worst, just be careful in the future.”
Thinking of this, I suddenly stopped thinking about it, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Although the ship's shaking was not large, it was like a huge cradle. Lin Chuang soon became sleepy and began to snore.
In my sleep, I was suddenly awakened by a soft sound. When I listened carefully, I saw that it was the sound of high heels.
Although it was very light, Lin Chuang caught it immediately because it was very brittle.
"That girl Yunko Nakano must be feeling lusty again, hehe, I'll pretend to be asleep and see how she teases me."
Thinking of this, Lin Chuang kept snoring and listened carefully to Nakano Yunzi's movements.
