Familiar Boss

Chapter 273 Climb to the cockpit

The ship sailed smoothly on the sea, and it has been a day since it set off. During the whole day, the sun was shining, the breeze was gentle, and the sea was calm.

If the weather and sea are still so good for the rest of the journey, they don't have to worry about not being able to make it to the Istis mainland.

At night, a small oil lamp dangled on the boat, illuminating the unique small cockpit on the third floor of the boat. The captain, Kunka, still sticks to his post with love and dedication.

I saw him steering the ship with both hands and scanning the sea ahead. On the simple bridge, there were a pair of telescopes, a compass, and a parchment map.

In the small cockpit of the kerosene lamp, he was hanging from an iron hook not far behind his head, shaking with the rhythm of the bumping of the ship.

Su Ke, Cui Lixina and the others ate a little food in the cabin below the deck, which was regarded as dinner, and then they climbed into the cabin with a glass of beer and came to the deck.

Seeing nothing but the pitch-black sea in front of him, although the darkness did not affect Su Ke's vision, the seascape at night is no different from that during the day, nothing more than Just one more sun.

What's more, there is no moon in the sky, and there are not even stars, so it is very boring to watch.

Su Ke saw the lights coming from the cockpit on the third floor, and then Captain Kunka, who was very active during the day, rang out.

An old man in his 40s, in order to please his group of young people and relieve their fatigue, and to prevent them from feeling that sailing at sea is a boring and depressing thing, he took the initiative to find topics to chat with.

When Su Ke turned around and raised his head, he saw Captain Kunka silently with his back to the light, staring intently into the distance.

"Hehe, it's night, and this captain Kunka has also calmed down. Could it be that he is driving the boat, and then fell asleep while driving?" Su Ke smiled and climbed up the wooden ladder.

When Kunka heard the movement, he turned his head to look, saw that it was Su Ke, and immediately smiled and said, "How did Su Ke's warrior climb up here? It's not comfortable to stay down here. The upside is much more bumpy than the downside!"

"I'm afraid you'll fall asleep from boredom, so I'll come up to have a drink with you and chat with you!" Su Ke had already entered the cockpit.

The cockpit is not very big, but it can barely accommodate two people lying down.

"You can't doze off when you are sailing a boat. Although it is said that sailing in the vast ocean, you rarely meet other ships and you can't hit anything, but if you don't pay attention, you don't know where you are drifting." Kunka's words were quite rigorous. Said.

Su Ke came to Kunka's side, took a general look at the environment inside the cockpit, and said, "I haven't come up to see this place yet, so the cockpit looks like this."

"Hehe, what else is there here? Nothing but a rudder, a compass, a map, and a telescope, all gone!" Kunka said heartily.

"Yes! It's very primitive and crude, but you can still be on the sea and reach exactly where you want to go, unlike our high-tech things like various instrument display panels." Su Ke sighed with emotion. Said.

"That world of yours? Apparatus? High technology?" Kunka looked at Su Ke suspiciously, he didn't understand the meaning of these words.

"Well, hey, you might not understand it, forget it!" Su Ke waved his hand, raised his wine glass and said, "Come on! Have a drink!"

Kunka reached out from the table next to him, picked up his wine jug that was already filled with wine, touched Su Ke, and said, "Drinking will not delay the sailing of the boat! Hehehe!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled happily, took a big sip, and let out a refreshing cry: "Ah!"

"You usually sail alone, so it must be very boring. Since you don't pick up the boat bill, you run around on the sea all day long. What do you do when you're so boring?" Su Ke didn't shy away, curious asked.

Kunka shook his hand, swallowed the wine, and said: "I have already said that the sea is my life. I can't go to land, and I can't survive on land, so I don't feel bored. Only at sea can I truly feel alive."

Su Ke felt inconceivable when he heard this, shook his head, and asked again: "Then you don't receive the ship's order, you have no income, even if you are on the ship, how can you survive?"

"I don't know, anyway, I can't die in the sea!" Kunka still couldn't figure out why he was still alive without a source of income.

"I've seen a lot of vagrants like you, gnawing old people, but they are in the sea, and you are in the sea!" Su Ke pointed to Kunka, and asked again: "I ask you, you Did your father leave you with this ship?"

"Yeah! That's amazing! Brother Su Ke, you can guess all of this! Haha! Come! Have a drink!" Kunka saw that Su Ke had guessed the origin of the ship, and thought he was very powerful. He happily raised his wine glass to respect Su Ke.

Su Ke accidentally clinked glasses with him, took a sip, and continued: "You are 40 years old, Captain Kunka. As a friend, I feel sad to see you like this. You can't continue like this!"

"This kind of life is pretty good!" Kunka replied indifferently.

Su Ke shook his head, and said disapprovingly: "You see, you are sailing alone on the sea all day, what should you do if you are lonely? You don't have any girls! What if you want to have a good meal? There is no fresh food, the most important thing is Without money, this kind of life is not good at all!"

"I think it's okay." Kunka insisted on his own thoughts.

"Hey, all right! All right! Don't say anything, come on! Have another clink!" Su Ke raised his glass and clinked another glass with him.

"You broken ship, if you encounter pirates, it will be over. There is no artillery or anything, it's just a fishing boat." Su Ke continued.

Kunka didn't take it seriously, and responded: "What are pirates? I've met too many pirates, and none of them dared to do anything to me!"

"Yeah, that's right, because you are too poor! Pirates robbing you is indeed a loss-making business! If you want to rob, you will be really unlucky!" Su Ke squinted at Kunka, and nodded repeatedly in response. road.

"No, the main reason is that they can't come up!" Kunka said with a high air.

"Well, yes, they are afraid that too many people will climb up and your boat will fall apart, so they dare not climb up." Su Ke continued to say with a smile.

"No, because I'm very good! Very! Very!" After Kunka finished speaking, she emphasized the word "very" to make Su Ke listen.

"Okay! Okay! Come drink!" Su Ke didn't want to argue with him about these unnecessary things.

The two drank and chatted in this small cockpit for a long time, and then went down to fight after drinking.

It was late at night. When Su Ke felt sleepy, he just fell down on it and fell asleep. He was too lazy to climb down. Besides, the cabin below was not very big anyway, leaving more space for Cui Lixina and the others to sleep.

Kunka really didn't sleep when she said she didn't sleep. She was at the helm all night, and the ship was sailing at full speed with full sail.

For several days in a row, the sea was so calm, Su Ke and the others were also safe in the sea, spending these few days comfortingly.

In the early morning sky, a lot of fish-scale clouds appeared, and the morning glow was also reflected on the scale clouds, showing a crimson red color.

Su Ke climbed into the cockpit when he had nothing to do, because the view from the high place is so comfortable.

At this time, he saw Kunka looking at the sky with a melancholy expression on his face, and muttered, "The sky is going to change today."
