Chapter 13 The Lost and Found Meteorite
Chapter 13 The Lost and Found Meteorite
In the early morning of the next day, the ghost stood at the pier against the storm, watching the ship struggling to leave the port with worry, always feeling that it would be overturned by huge waves in the next second.
Liu Yunchen's head hit the deck heavily, he let out a cry of pain, continued to help hold the sail with one hand, and rubbed his forehead desperately with the other hand.
"Okay, go back to the cabin and rest." Ares strode forward and hugged him, "Leave this to me."
"Are you alone? Are you sure?" Liu Yunchen shouted, "I can stay and help!"
Ares carried him back to the cabin and handed him over to Ina.
"Why did you put yourself in such a mess?" Ina asked in surprise.
"Because he tried to help me fix the sail." Ares wiped the rain from his face.
"Oh, poor boy." Ina helped him massage the swelling on his forehead, "Don't worry, this storm is nothing to Ares, he can even handle it with one hand."
"Will the storm become more severe the closer it is to the Artis sea area?" Liu Yunchen asked.
"Of course not." Yi Na handed him a cup of hot tea. "At most one week, the weather will be clear again. Although this ship is not as luxurious as the Liuyun family's luxury cruise ship, you can still drink on the deck when the time comes." Juice, or sun."
"There will be a hurricane on the sea later." Natasha walked in, "Is there any rope? I have to tie Senior Ming Chuan to the bed so that he won't be thrown into the sea."
Liu Yunchen: "..."
"Okay, go back and rest." Yi Na patted him on the shoulder and said, "There will always be some discomfort at the beginning of the voyage. Your performance is already good enough, at least you didn't get seasick in the storm."
Hearing her words, Liu Yunchen smiled calmly, forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his stomach, and even drank a glass of wine before leaving.It wasn't until he returned to his bedroom that he lay on the trash can, throwing up in a daze.Although he also received seasickness simulation training in the military academy, he didn't know how tolerant and merciful Colonel Nan Ming was to him during the previous practice until he was in a real storm zone.
In the middle of the night, a hurricane really blew up on the sea.Liu Yunchen fixed himself on the bed with a rope, and while he was dizzy, he also had deep doubts about the next journey - he didn't even know if he had the strength to stand up when the ship arrived in the waters of Artis.
Another huge wave hit, and Ares whistled. He adjusted the direction of the sail freely in the storm, and his upper body muscles bulged, just like a bodybuilder in a pictorial.
Liu Yunchen covered his head with the quilt, wanting to faint immediately.
Heka sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him with sympathetic eyes.
The storm lasted for five full days.
In the early morning of the sixth day, the thick black stone finally dissipated, and the warm golden halo shone from the rising sun, sparkling the entire sea surface.
Stomach growled, Liu Yunchen felt that his feet were stuffed with cotton during the short distance from the bedroom to the dining room.
"Not bad." Ke Lei touched his chin and said, "I can still stand up by myself."
"Morning." Liu Yunchen didn't have the energy to deal with his teasing, so he took bread and juice by himself, "Where is Senior Ming Chuan? Is he all right?"
"Of course it's okay. Yi Na is basking on the deck with him." Ke Lei put down his teacup, "How does it feel to be far away?"
"I hope that in the next voyage, I will never encounter stormy weather again." Liu Yunchen replied from the bottom of his heart.
"It's unlikely, but you should be able to get used to it gradually." Ke Lei continued to bow his head and flip through the book until Liu Yunchen finished his breakfast before politely inviting him, "Do you want to go to the deck to have a look?"
Liu Yunchen readily agreed.
Ming Chuan had already left, and there was no one on the deck.After the baptism of the storm, the sky is dry and intoxicating, and the sea is as calm as an oil painting, the deepest blue.
Liu Yunchen leaned against the railing, watching the birds rising and setting in the distance, his eyes were also filled with sunlight.
Corey handed him a small box.
Liu Yunchen took it with some doubts: "Give it to me?"
"Open it and have a look." Ke Lei seemed to be in a good mood, and his tone was very gentle.
This kind of picture... Liu Yunchen's mind flashed a bloody third-rate movie, and he quickly thought if he opened it and found a ring, should he jump into the sea immediately, or should he take him back to the imperial capital to see a psychiatrist.
"What are you doing in a daze?" Seeing that he was standing still, Ke Lei urged.
Liu Yunchen opened the box with the mood of the end of the world.
Corey smiled at him.
Liu Yunchen was a little surprised.A blue meteorite was lying quietly in the black velvet box, round, transparent and slightly shiny.
"Yina said that this is very important to you." Ke Lei said, "So no matter how much it costs, it seems that you should get it back."
"Thank you." Liu Yunchen looked at him.
"You're welcome." Ke Lei helped him close the lid, "It's your reward for going to sea this time."
"Senior Ina said that after this voyage, everyone will return to the imperial capital together?" Liu Yunchen asked.
Ke Lei nodded: "That's your territory, so you can seek shelter and have a drink?"
With a smile on Liu Yunchen's face, he touched his fist: "No problem, it's a deal."
For the next month, the voyage went smoothly, so smooth that Liu Yunchen even began to wonder whether the legendary Artis Sea Territory that would swallow everything really existed in reality.
"Don't let your guard down! Cutie." Ina handed him a glass of juice, "This attitude is dangerous."
"Sorry, I'll pay attention in the future." Liu Yunchen stuck out his tongue, took the cup from her hand, and hesitated, "Why is there blue-purple juice?"
"It's not for drinking, but for replenishing energy." Yi Na replied, "This is a plant found when the ship docked on the last island. People call it screaming fruit."
"This name doesn't sound very good." Liu Yunchen sniffed it carefully, then frowned, "The smell is not very good either."
"But it's enough to supplement vitamins." Yi Na pinched his nose and downed the whole glass of juice, "so the side effects can be completely ignored."
The sour and bitter taste even has a hint of spiciness, which is even scarier than the herbs from the East.Liu Yunchen's nose and eyes were wrinkled together, and it took a long time before he had the strength to speak, "There will be side effects?"
"Of course, otherwise, why call it screaming fruit?" Yi Na walked back with the cup, intending to squeeze a few more cups to give to others, "But don't worry too much, you won't scream because of it, it's just that you will be overly excited That's all."
"Oh! God, I don't drink!" Ares tried to escape.
Yi Na bent her knees, gave him a hard push between his legs, and poured the juice into her mouth while the other party was screaming in pain: "Your etiquette teacher didn't teach you, don't refuse easily. A charming lady?"
Ares almost coughed his lungs out, leaned on the railing and confessed with tears in his eyes: "If I knew the teacher would teach this, I would definitely not skip class."
Ming Chuan half leaned on the bed, under the loving and caring eyes of Yi Na and Natasha, he drank a whole glass of juice in pain.
As for the great General...
"Is it really decided by lottery?" Ares screamed, "I bet the boss will not be willing to drink this kind of thing, maybe he will be beaten up or splashed in the face."
"Nonsense, how could the boss do such an unqualified thing?" Yi Na flexed her wrist and said, "It was agreed in advance that whoever catches it will be the one, and you are not allowed to renege on your debt."
"Of course I won't renege." Natasha stared at the balls of paper on the table, trying hard to figure out which one contained the words. "If I get it, I'll jump into the sea."
Liu Yunchen: "..."
In the reading room, Ke Lei was flipping through an outdated magazine.
Liu Yunchen held the cup with both hands and handed the juice to him.
Corey frowned.
"Please, everyone should drink it, in order to supplement vitamins." Liu Yunchen showed him his tongue that was dyed purple, "Although it looks a little scary, it's actually not bad to drink. I've already drank it, and you You can try it." His tone was full of love and encouragement.
Corey glanced at the door.
The rest of the people retracted their heads instantly, indicating that they were not eavesdropping.
"It seems that only you are the most unlucky." Ke Lei laughed."
"How could it be!" Liu Yunchen's eyes were filled with a sincere smile, "I am very honored to accept this task." So if it doesn't taste good, please don't take your anger out on me, I am innocent, but the luck of the lottery is not very good That's all.
Ke Lei took the cup, raised his head and drank it down without changing his face.Of course, except for the fleeting entanglement in his eyes.
Liu Yunchen pretended that he didn't see anything.
Ares applauded warmly at the door, and Yi Na and Natasha exchanged a tacit understanding of each other's views - if there is such a thing in the future, it can be completely left to the little cutie.
The effect of the fruit juice is amazing. The specific performance is that until late at night, everyone on board is still full of energy, and Areski even wants to tear off his shirt and run naked.
Ke Lei sat on the watchtower and taught Liu Yunchen how to use military binoculars.
"You can see the stars clearly, they are very bright." Liu Yunchen kept looking up at the sky without taking his eyes off.
Ke Lei looked at his profile and suggested, "Maybe you can study in the astronomy department."
"Hey, wait." After a while, Liu Yunchen shifted his gaze down, "There is an island over there... an island? "Colei took the telescope from his hand and looked in the direction, and sure enough, under the cover of thick night, there seemed to be a black outline on the sea level.
"But it's not marked on the map." Liu Yunchen asked him, "Do you want to go around?
"No need for now." Ke Lei pulled him to stand up, "If we can find fresh water on this island, then we can save a lot of time without taking a special detour to the Kaya Strait."
