whale wave

The upper deck of the stern cabin is used as a guest room with gorgeous interior decoration. It is the dormitory of the ship’s executives and small merchants on board. Chen Yu’s room is arranged here.

Due to the delay of the journey, all the small sea merchants who had been on the ship had left, the guest rooms were empty, and the night was extremely quiet.The boat was sailing on the boundless sea, the boat was dead silent, the cold moonlight shone through the window, and Chen Yu on the bed looked more and more lonely and sad.

The joy when boarding the ship is of course gone at this time, Chen Yu is entangled in melancholy, and he doesn't know why he is so uncomfortable, he seems to have sensed the emotions of "others" on the ship.

This "other" exists in his heart, and the emotion of the "other" seems to be his emotion, so real, as if he experienced it himself.

Chen Yu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Whenever he closed his eyes, he would have weird dreams. He dreamed that he was on the Yang family's Suzaku boat, in a spacious and empty bedroom, the doors and windows of the room were closed, Only by lighting a candle, with limited light, Zhao Yousheng's body could be seen lying in a long silk box.

In the dream, he was lying on the silk box, murmuring to Zhao Youcheng who seemed to be asleep, and touching his eyebrows and lips with his fingers. Chen Yu felt the grief of himself in the dream, and lay strangely lying on the bed. You Sheng in the cloth box was motionless, his face was pale, and his appearance did not look like a living person at all.

Both You Sheng in the dream and himself seemed to be a few years older. Chen Yu didn't know why he had such a dream, but it was undoubtedly a nightmare.The self in the dream seemed to have lost his mind. He was either talking with the dead, or sitting under a screen without moving. The food on the wooden table was changed again and again without moving. Changing outside the window, time goes by, only the pear blossoms on the screen are still in full bloom and never withered, while the flapping wings and big colorful butterflies on the painting seem to be frozen in mid-air.

In the dream, Chen Yu buried his head in his arms. He was getting thinner and thinner, and his clothes were loose. He held a copper sea beast in his hand. The tail of the sea beast was exposed. He also held a cloth sachet with flower and bird patterns. The sachet and the top The colorful ropes are all stained with blood. If you look carefully, you will find a hole in the sachet, as if it was pierced by some sharp weapon.

Chen Yu resisted having such a dream. He opened his eyes and looked at the moon outside the window. His eyes were red with residual tears at the corners of his eyes.Even though he knew it wasn't real, it was just a dream, it still made him cry.

The moonlight was hazy, the sea was covered with mist, and the moon waxed and waned. Chen Yu didn't want to fall asleep and dream again. He put on his windbreaker, walked out of his bedroom, and boarded the wooden ladder leading to the stern deck.

The sea breeze was very cold, making Chen Yu grit his teeth, but this coldness kept him awake and not drowsy. Chen Yu wrapped his windbreaker tightly and stood on the deck overlooking the sea.He smelled the familiar breath of the tide, and in the sound of the waves, he thought of another voice from the ocean, very gentle and kind, like the call of an old friend or a relative, he didn't have to listen, he could feel it, just like he usually does It feels like wind, rain, thunder and lightning are coming.

Chen Yu reached out to touch the copper sea beast hanging around his neck, it was cold and hard, it was the touch of copper, Chen Yu couldn't imagine how the sea beast came alive and rescued him when he fell into the sea as a child.

The sea, to Chen Yu, was born with a sense of intimacy, and he also liked the feeling of being swayed by the waves. He obviously likes to go out to sea by boat, but why is he so depressed.

Tomorrow the boat will arrive in Mingzhou, and after landing on land, perhaps she won't be so restless anymore.

Originally, it only took half a day to get to Mingzhou, but Yang Huan let the ship berth at the port because of the pirate police report from the passing ship on the way, which delayed the time.

Yang Huan was suspicious and worried that his ship would be targeted by pirates. He ordered the ship to sail at night to avoid being followed and attacked in the middle of the road.There are several sailors standing on the main deck of the ship, and they need to take turns to observe the situation on the sea surface.

The sailors on duty huddled in a corner to enjoy the fire because of the cold. They occasionally looked towards the deck of the stern cabin, and they might wonder in their hearts that it was so cold and foggy, how could anyone come out to watch the night view.

The sea ship arrived at Mingzhou Port in the early morning. Chen Ying, who got the news early, had been waiting at the port for a long time. She happily embraced Chen Yu who got off the ship. his figure.

"Sister." Chen Yu called her excitedly.

"My little brother has grown up." Chen Ying hugged Chen Yu and cried. When she got married, her little brother was not as tall as her, but now he is half a head taller than her.

Chen Ying hugged and cried to Chen Yu, but only greeted Chen Fan, and the siblings chatted for a while.

Brother-in-law Yang Yan came over and said that everyone was tired all the way, and the weather was cold, so they came to my house to rest earlier, and he kindly invited Chen Fan and Chen Yu to his house.

Yang Yan and Yang Huan are brothers, Yang Yan is the eldest, Yang Huan is the third, and the second child died young. One of the brothers is in the family and the other is in the outside world. They have a good relationship.The Yang family is a well-known maritime merchant family in Mingzhou. The house is huge, with carved beams and painted walls, and cost a lot of money to build. Just looking at it from the outside, it already feels majestic and majestic.

Chen Yu fell asleep in a room that had already been arranged. The comfortable dormitory, the soft and warm quilt, and the elegant scent of burning incense made Chen Yu finally have a good night's sleep.

He didn't have any more dreams, just like when he got off the Yang's boat, the nightmares would no longer come to him.

When he came to Mingzhou, Chen Yu was not obsessed with having fun, and occasionally went out with his brother to socialize, and spent the rest of the time with his sister and nephew.The little nephew was only over one year old, and he called his little uncle in a childish voice. Chen Yu couldn't put it down, and he especially liked to hug him.

Chen Fan's life in Mingzhou was obviously not as leisurely as his brother's. He was socializing every day. From his occasional few words, it can be known that he and Yang Huan worked together to form the Maritime Guild and got his wish.

Early in the morning, Chen Yu took his little nephew's hand and played in the garden. The children kept laughing. In the next room, Chen Fan woke up with a hangover, lying in the room with a headache.Chen Ying asked a servant to bring him a hangover decoction, and handed him a drink. Seeing his frowning, she couldn't help but say to him: "Drinking alcohol hurts your body, drink less in the future."

Chen Fan swallowed the bowl of strange-smelling hangover decoction, and frowned even deeper. Chen Ying asked the maid to feed him candied fruit, but he refused to say no.It's not a child, you have to drink medicine and chewing gum.

The curative effect of the decoction was good. After lying down for a while, Chen Fan felt that his headache had eased. He heard the cute laughter of his little nephew in the courtyard, so he finally couldn't help but go out to see him.

Chen Ying picked up her son, stuffed it to Chen Fan, and coaxed the child to call him uncle with a smile.

Hearing the childishly calling uncle, Chen Fan picked up the child, put it on his shoulder and said: Uncle will take you to pick flowers.The little nephew didn't recognize his birth, so he happily went with him.

When they came back from playing around in the garden, Chen Ying picked up a camellia. Chen Ying took the child and teased Chen Fan: "It's fun for children, brother, give birth to one soon, it's not too young."

Chen Fan didn't say anything, just waved his hands and left.

The little nephew handed the camellia to Chen Yu, with chubby little hands, he said cutely: "Little uncle, Huahua." Chen Yu took the camellia with a smile, couldn't help but praise him for being so good, and casually put the flower hairpin on his hair superior.

Chen Ying touched her younger brother's head, and said with a smile: "My younger brother looks great, I don't know what kind of lady I want to match."

"Sister, I'm still young." Chen Yu's face reflected in the water burst into a smile. He didn't tell his sister, so he didn't want a little lady to match him. The guy next door with the nickname of Zhao is pretty good.

On the morning when Chen Yu and Chen Fan left Mingzhou, Yang Yan and other descendants of the Yang family gave them a farewell party at the restaurant. After drinking, Yang Yan and Yang Huan personally sent them to the port.

On the way to the port, passing by the shop, Chen Yu saw a peddler set up a stall with twenty or thirty sachets hanging on the shelf, all of which were Rob sachets used by ordinary people. Only cracked cloth sachet.

The sachets on the stalls were of different styles, Chen Yu had a sharp eye, and he actually managed to find a sachet that was exactly the same as the one he saw in his dream.He was very surprised, and bought the sachet from the vendor with money.

Although such a sachet is very well made and beautiful in style, it is worthless and does not match Chen Yu's identity.Yang Huan, who came to see him off, said that if he wanted to buy a sachet, there was a gold shop in front of him, and the hollow flower and bird sachets were exquisitely crafted.Chen Yu put the sachet into his bosom, and said with a smile: "There is no shortage of sachets, I thought it was pretty, so I just bought it."

Returning to Quanzhou Port, it was still Yang's ship, but this time it was a passenger ship.The facilities on the passenger ship are complete, the bedrooms are spacious and bright, and the layout is meticulous.

The boat moved slowly, and Chen Yu lay resting in the room, playing with the newly bought cloth sachet in his hand, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like the sachet in his dream.The same material, the same pattern, the same style, even the black and yellow ropes are the same.

Why is it the same as in the dream?Is there any ominous omen?

At noon, the boatman prepared sumptuous food and wine for the only two guests on board. Chen Yu entered the dining room under the guidance of the boatman. He saw that Chen Fan was already sitting at the table, obviously waiting for him to come and eat together.

Chen Yu walked up to Chen Fan and sat down. He used to be very afraid of this elder brother, but at some point later, he no longer felt scary about him, and even realized that his elder brother was a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

Chen Fan distributed the chopsticks to Chen Yu, and he said: "It will take another hour to arrive in Quanzhou, eat something to rest your stomach first." The chopsticks that were handed out, Chen Yu didn't reach out to take them, Chen Fan noticed that something was wrong with his younger brother, and his face turned pale Pale, eyes fixed on a newly made screen in the dining room.

"Xiao Yu?" Chen Fan called out to him, seeing him shaking, as if he was about to fall to the ground, Chen Fan hurriedly supported him with his arms.

Chen Yu leaned back on the chair, his face gradually returned to color, Chen Fan asked him what was going on?Chen Yu said that he had a dream, and the screen that appeared in the dream was exactly the same as this screen.

Chen Fan asked carefully: "Speak carefully, what kind of dream is it?"

Chen Yu told Chen Fan that he had dreamed that A Leftover died, and that his and A Leftover's bodies were on the Yang's boat, and there was such a screen in the room they stayed in.

Chen Fan was lost in thought. He obviously didn't think such a dream was absurd and uninhibited, and it was not worth minding.Afterwards, Chen Fan called the boatman and asked him where he got the screen. The shopkeeper said he bought it from a shop in the city. He bought two screens at that time, one here and one on the Suzaku boat.

"You've never been on a Suzaku ship, and it's the first time you've been on this passenger ship. It's really weird." Chen Fan made an analysis. People can kill him. It's probably a weird dream, don't bother yourself."

The author has something to say: Chen Fan: Well, no one can kill him.
