Behind Me Is the Earth

Chapter 499 497 Ghost Ship

The name of Sea Weaver Girl has been circulated for a long time, and among the people of Baocheng County, she has a good reputation.

Some fishermen who had received her protection were extremely boastful when they came back. Even in some small fishing villages along the coast, some people build temples and statues of the Sea Weaver to pray for safe and smooth fishing.

This phenomenon quickly attracted the attention of the Night Owl Organization and the Dangding Guards.

However, Sea Weaver did not take the initiative to spread ideas, nor did it have an expansionary influence. The most important thing was that it was only spread within a small area. Both the Night Owl organization and the local garrison are under strict surveillance and are investigating the origins of Sea Weaver Girl, but have not taken any other actions.

After this ghost ship incident and its impact began to spread widely, we joined forces with the intelligence station in Yuandao to start an in-depth investigation.

"In other words, this Sea Weaver Girl is only one person, not a group?"

Xiaowan asked with a frown.

If she were just an independent individual, the abilities and strength of this Sea Weaver Girl were beyond her expectations.

"Go and prepare a detailed information about Sea Weaver Girl."

Xiaowan ordered.

"yes!"

Li Changyun responded and hurried down.

The climate in Xiangshan County in February is pleasant, and it’s not too cold in the morning before sunrise.

Ren Pingsheng came out this time not only to take a walk, take a look at the construction in various places, and understand the people's livelihood conditions in various places, but also to take Ruan Tang and Xiaowan out to relax.

Ruan Tang and Xiao Wan, barefoot, followed Ren Pingsheng, walking together on the soft sand of the seaside.

The waves washed over her feet, and Xiaowan felt refreshed. With a wave of her hand, a wave of waves rose up on the sea, like a tamed elf, turning into small transparent butterflies, dancing gracefully in the sun. Rotating around the three of them.

The salty smell blows from the seaside, and there are a large number of small fishing boats docked on the beach. In a small fishing village not far away, every household was drying their fishing nets.

Someone was shouting on the beach, and dozens of people were dragging the fishing nets. As the fishing nets were dragged to the beach, every time a piece of fishing net was dragged up, people would bend down in the fishing nets, and happily pick them off and put them on the beach. In the wooden barrel, I counted the fish.

At this time, there are fish vendors standing guard here, observing the fish catch, and running up to discuss the price with the fishermen.

Ren Pingsheng saw some fish stew stalls on the shore and walked among the fishermen.

"Brother, you have a good harvest today."

Ren Pingsheng walked towards a dark-skinned man who looked to be around forty years old and was wearing armor. He took out a wad of banknotes and asked him how many fish he had bought.

"Hai Niangniang bless you."

The black man smiled and showed his white teeth.

When Ren Pingsheng heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Hai Niang is the Hai Zhi Nu? I'm from out of town and have never heard of Hai Zhi Nu before. Can you tell me?"

He had just bought his fish. Although the black man was still busy picking the fish out of the fishing net and throwing them into the wooden barrels, he still said while working: "You must not know that, Mr. Hai Niangniang." It is the patron saint of fishermen in our Xiangshan area.

Sir, do you know what we fear most when we go fishing? "

"A storm at sea?"

Ren Pingsheng said.

"Yes, when we go to sea, we are most afraid of heavy rain, big waves, and storms, followed by pirates and some ferocious big fish.

Hai Niang Niang is a goddess who can calm waves and storms. After she appeared in Xiangshan Bay half a year ago, she has helped us fishermen more than once. We don’t know how to repay her, so we built a temple for her and offered incense. "

When the black man spoke, his tone was pious like a preacher. He pointed to a father and son who were cleaning barnacles and oysters under the fishing boat not far away and said: "The father and son Zhao Laosan in our village were saved by the Queen of the Sea. Life."

Ren Pingsheng went to find Zhao Laosan and his son again and chatted for a while.

The Zhao family's father and son were happy to chat with him when they saw that he was impressive and polite, and that he was talking about the Lady of the Sea, whom they believed in.

Ren Pingsheng didn't say goodbye to them until the fish at the stall over there was ready.

"Dad, the voice of that noble man just now sounds familiar."

The little girl from the Zhao family looked at the direction Ren Pingsheng left and said with some confusion: "I seem to have heard of it somewhere."

"It's a bit like the king's voice."

Father Zhao said without raising his head as he scraped the barnacles with a knife.

"Dad said so, it does look like it!"

Zhao Laosan nodded repeatedly and said.

"Your father and I listen to the radio every day. During the Chinese New Year this year, what the king said on the radio was so true that we ordinary people like you can understand it. I dare say that hundreds of emperors from previous dynasties have no ability. The emperor of the dynasty showed it like this!"

Father Zhao said.

"What Dad is saying makes sense. Even a woman like me can understand it. Your Majesty is speaking truthfully and he really takes ordinary people like us into consideration."

Zhao Xiaomei said.

It was not because of the sound that they thought that the person chatting with them just now was the king.

After all, the king is a person in heaven, and it is impossible for him to come into contact with low-level people like them who are foraging for food in the sea.

After all, how could humans possibly reach the stars?

When Ren Pingsheng walked to the small table in front of the stall, Ruan Tang and Xiao Wan were already ready and waiting for him, and the fish soup was already simmering to a milky white color.

It smells so delicious!

While eating and drinking, the sun rose over the sea, and Ren Pingsheng also saw a large number of fishermen going out to sea.

The rising sun, still holding the pipa half-shielded, swayed brilliant sunshine, spreading on the sparkling sea, like countless broken, sparkling diamonds beating. Dozens and hundreds of fishing boats sailed towards the rising sun and sailed into the radiance of the sun. Seagulls circled over the fleet, making waves of chirping sounds.

These small boats cannot go very far, and most of them rely on manpower. It only takes a day to reach the sea.

It's far from being compared to the fishing boats on Earth, which can go out for ten and a half months at a time.

However, it still gives people a sense of shock when they see dozens or hundreds of small boats sailing towards the ocean shouting slogans.

While eating delicious food and admiring the sunrise on the sea, Ruan Tang is a sentimental girl. At this time, she couldn't help but rest her head on her husband's shoulder, feeling romantic in her heart.

Finally, the rising sun seemed to jump sharply from the sea level, breaking away from the control of the sea surface and rising into the sky.

Baocheng County is a place suitable for living, with a variety of seafood and specialties. For several days, the footprints of Ren Pingsheng and his two wives were left in famous local restaurants and scenic spots.

Ren Pingsheng secretly visited the newly built port area and industrial area here.

The port area was built under the leadership of the Ministry of Industry. Both in terms of scale and standards, it was built in accordance with the plan. It was no worse than the port in Dongyang County.

Moreover, the military port not far from the port is also under construction at the same time. There are a large number of civil engineering professionals working on the construction site. The first phase of the project will be completed by the end of the year.

As for the industrial park, it is somewhat unsatisfactory. Compared with what Guangnan Governor Ge Changhai reported in the official document, it is more than a little bit worse.

Therefore, Ren Pingsheng was quite disappointed with the Governor of Guangnan.

Because the seal of Guangnan Palace was torn, many people were guessing who lived in it. Even after the news of the king spread from Jinshan County, some people began to speculate in this regard. Patrols in the city They became more and more closely connected, and some gangs inside and outside the city were suppressed for a while, and it was rare for them to become honest.

Ren Pingsheng had decided to leave Xiangshan County and continue to conduct research and inspections according to the scheduled itinerary, but a piece of news came out that night, which made him decide to stay here for one more day.

"Master, there is news from Qian Duoduo that the little man has been obtained.

He knew that the young master had come to Xiangshan County and wanted to send the little man here in person. "

Xiaowan came over with the telegram and glanced at the watch on her wrist as she spoke: "Qian Duoduo should have set off by now and should arrive in Baocheng County early tomorrow morning."

Ren Pingsheng glanced at the sky outside.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the full moon was exceptionally bright in the sky. It shone on the glazed tiles of the palace, as if a layer of smoke had risen, like a veil.

Ren Pingsheng hugged Xiaowan and fell asleep.

It's half past three o'clock in the night.

He radiated his mind power and saw Ruan Tang tossing and turning on the bed next door for some reason. He stretched out his hand to rub her. She was so shocked that she covered the big bear and trembled. Then the screen of her mobile phone next to Ren Shengsheng's pillow suddenly lit up and jumped out. He touched Ruan Tang's face and made a face for him, which also shocked Ren Pingsheng.

In the past few days, he often searched the sea with his mind, trying to get a look at the appearance of the Sea Weaver Girl who knew neither friend nor foe.

But neither the Sea Weaver nor her residence under the sea was found.

But tonight was different.

The power of thought surged in and spread like a tide.

Most people in Baocheng County have gone to sleep. Only the hook bars inside and outside the city are still brightly lit and there is constant traffic.

In the trading houses and guilds outside the city, there were still people working all night long.

In the villages and towns outside the city, people who had worked hard all day enjoyed the sweet dreams given to them by the quiet night.

A girl was talking to her cow. Huang Niu spoke standard Guangnan Mandarin, and as he spoke, he actually transformed into a young man in his twenties with a pair of horns on his head. His majestic body and muscles were tightly bound, and his face gave people an honest and honest feeling. : "Yanzi, wait for me for another two and a half years. When I turn into this pair of horns, I will marry you as a human being. Yanzi, you must wait for me, Yanzi!"

In the distance, the port is under construction day and night. There are more than ten iron towers, more than ten meters high, with a circle of spotlights installed on them, clearly illuminating the busy port.

Outside the port, the sea is very calm tonight, and the moonlight shines on it, like silver arcs, sparkling, and the delicate light jumps and shines on the water, as if scattered pearls embellish the tranquility of the sea.

The sea breeze blows gently, raising gentle waves and creating poetic ripples.

But for people who make a living at sea, the fear of the deep blue has already been deeply engraved in their minds.

"Sir, ghost ships have appeared frequently recently. The moon is full tonight, so the probability of ghost ships appearing is very high."

On a sailboat, Qian Duoduo, who had been traveling all night, stood on the bow. The sea breeze blew through his black cloak and his clothes.

He stood tall and straight, and his specially grown beard moved in the wind. He didn't care when he heard this: "If we really come across it, then I'll take a look."

I don’t know if Qian Duoduo’s mouth opened. As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of mist suddenly rose on the sea in the distance and quickly dissipated. A dark sailing ship in the style of the country of Iran was just like that. Suddenly appeared on the sea, heading towards Qian Duoduo's ship with a sinister air.

This ghost ship is much larger than the one Qian Duoduo was sitting on. The white skulls printed on the black sails give people a sense of intimidation.

The people on the ship were not afraid and waited for the ghost ship to approach.

The ghost ship was very fast on the sea. After a moment, it had approached Ye Mao's ship silently.

Qian Duoduo saw the shadowy figures on the other ship. Under the moonlight, they looked a little shady.

"They are all some perverts. Lao Huo, go and try it."

Qian Duoduo ordered a red-haired young man who was only wearing a pair of shorts.

Red Hair nodded, jumped hard, and jumped onto the ghost ship like a swallow.

The ghost ship is real. Red Hair landed on it and felt a coolness on the soles of his feet rushing straight to his forehead along his body.

Cool!

Red Hair, who was burning with heat, shivered comfortably.

Seeing the ghosts surrounding him, all with lustful expressions on their faces, Red Hair's body suddenly burst into flames, and the orange-red flames quickly spread all over his body. The blazing flames emitted burning heat, and he stepped forward and rushed into these ghosts.

These ghosts were like a ball of air, unable to exert any force at all, but the scorching flames still made them boil like steam, and bursts of black smoke came out of their bodies.

"What are you doing, ouch."

Ghosts were like a pot of boiling water, constantly evaporating. But they were immortal, and after evaporating painfully, they were refreshed in another part of the ship, like a copy of a game.

So much so that after waves of death, these ghosts were afraid to dodge around when they saw Red Hair.

While dodging, they shouted something in a chattering voice.

"Don't scream for me!"

Red Hair couldn't understand their bird language at all, and chased these ghosts like driving pigs.

Finally, with a "bang", Red Hair only felt a puff of smoke in front of his eyes. The next moment, the world spun and he fell into the cold seawater.

There was a gurgling sound of boiling water, which was the burning flames on Red Hair's body boiling the surrounding seawater.

An iron chain was thrown into the sea, and Red Hair extinguished the flames on his body, and climbed onto the ship neatly by pulling the iron chain. The seawater on his body and head, which made his skin hot, soon evaporated into wisps of water vapor and dissipated in the air, leaving a layer of crystal salt on his body that made people feel uncomfortable.

However, Red Hair had no time to pay attention to himself, because the half-disappeared ghost ship was tightly bound in the air, as if there was some heavy pressure squeezing this ship from all directions. Everyone could even hear the "squeaky" sound from this sailing ship.

Under the moonlight, there were gusts of cold wind, black smoke, and the howling of the dead. Black shadows were madly hitting the pirate ship, but there seemed to be a barrier on the ship, blocking the escape of these ghosts.

Finally, with a sharp "crack" sound, the pirate ship instantly turned into debris all over the sky, fell on the sea, and black smoke rose up.

The howling sound was nothing in the rising black fog. The broken wood chips, wine barrels, masts, canvas and other items on the ship were melting rapidly on the sea like ice and snow, and disappeared in front of Qian Duoduo and others.

A circle of ripples suddenly spread on the calm sea, and a woman floated out of the water from the ripples. She looked up into the air with a solemn expression of doubt. (End of this chapter)
