Chapter 139 Jealous
I was amused when I heard it, and said: "What kind of water mushroom, don't mess with the nouns. The things salvaged from the bottom of the sea are called 'clams'."

Duan Fei was a little curious, dragged her chin and asked, "Why is it called mussel?" Gu Wenmin was also puzzled.When I saw so many audiences, I got excited and started to explain to everyone.

In ancient times, fishermen living by the sea, the sea has two kinds of wealth for them, one is the parallel fish and shrimp in the sea, and the other is the pearls contained in the old mussels in the sea.Compared with fish and shrimp parallel imports, pearls are more precious, and pearls are produced in mussels, so the antique ghost objects fished out of the sea are vaguely called 'clams'.This is the name of the South China Sea area, but we are now located in the East China Sea area, so I don't know if it is called that.

The life on the boat was relatively leisurely, everyone ate, drank, chatted, and got to know each other well, and soon became one with each other.Only Wu Sidong has some opinions on me and Tofu, probably because he regards me as a rival in love and looks down on our identities.Identity is something like a fart sometimes. I have been poor and rich, I have been respected and sought after, and I have also been ridiculed with cold eyes. These things have long been ignored, so I don’t care about young people like Wu Sidong. In terms of age, I am eight years older than him, so there is really no need to waste expression on him.

After dinner, there was no entertainment on board, and the sea was pitch black, and there was nothing to see, so everyone went to the crew room early to rest.Since it was still early and I didn't feel sleepy, I thought about something in bed, and I don't know how long it took before I felt drowsy.

Unexpectedly, before he fell asleep, he heard a strange sound ringing in his ears.

I opened my eyes in shock from that voice, and my heart skipped a beat, because your voice is a bit like a ghost crying, sobbing and sobbing, it's hard to ignore.

I was not the only one who was woken up by this sound, and soon Tofu also woke up, and the door directly facing the outside also lit up, Gu Wenmin and others hurried out, looking vigilant and asking: "What is the sound? "

Tofu and I both shook our heads, only to realize that the rest of the people probably haven't slept yet, and their clothes are neat.

A group of us were crowded in the narrow entrance, and we couldn't find the source of the weird sound for a while.Just when I was about to ask everyone to go to the bow to check, Ah Ying came out of the lounge yawning, seeing everyone looked alert, smiled and waved, and said: "Look, I scared you, this is a ghost on the sea." The sound' is actually the sound of the sea wind. It’s night in the sea, and there will always be such a wind for a few days, it’s okay, let’s sleep.”

I breathed a sigh of relief, and said to myself that it was a false alarm. After a long time, it turned out to be the sound of the wind. I have heard ghost sounds. It is due to the vast and unique environment of the ocean, so sometimes when the wind blows, the sound of the wind will be particularly like the sound of ghosts crying.People who hear it for the first time will inevitably be taken aback, and they will get used to it after a long time.

After Ah Ying explained this, everyone felt relieved. The four bald heads went back to their lounge without saying anything. The rest of us were so frightened that we lost all sleep. It was only nine o'clock at night.The whole group is used to nightlife, so they can't fall asleep so early, so the eccentric Duan Fei suggested that they should tell a ghost story alone, because the wind outside is scary now, and there is too much atmosphere.

I'm not interested in this kind of game that the little girl is passionate about. I was just about to go back to the house. I can't stand the tofu.Seeing that the rest of the people were very interested, I didn't spoil their interest, so I sat and listened to them.Most of the talks were horror jokes on the Internet, and Ah Ying was also listening to them, her swarthy face turning green with fright.

After talking for a long time, Duan Fei turned to look at me and said, "Why are you not afraid at all?"

Tofu laughed and said, "His courage is iron-clad. It's not easy to scare him, but he has a lot of stories in his belly, you can ask him to tell one." Kindergarten children.Seeing that I ignored me, Duan Fei stood up from the ground with a pouted mouth, ran behind me and shook my shoulder violently, and said in a coquettish voice: "Talk about it..." I couldn't stand this, and I couldn't help but blushed for a while, and my heart ached. It is said that the little girl is really open-minded now, how will we men live if this continues.

Unable to resist Duan Fei's coquettish pestering, I told everyone a ghost story.

It is said that in one hospital, for several days in a row, the feet of the corpses in the morgue were cut off, leaving only the bare calves, and I don't know who did it.

A man passed by the back of the hospital at night and saw a beautiful woman in white sitting there crying, so he went to comfort her.The beauty was happy after being comforted by him for a while, and asked him: "Why do you come out to play so late, haven't you heard that this hospital is haunted."

The man said that he was brave and not afraid of those things, and asked the beautiful woman how she was haunted.

The beauty pulled up her white skirt, pointed to her feet and said, "The corpses in the hospital all have missing feet."

The man looked at the beauty's legs, and there were only two bare calves...

After hearing this, Duan Fei shook in fright, leaned directly on me, and said, "It's too scary, no, no, I can't sleep if I tell another joke." I felt a little embarrassed when she leaned on me, and turned around At the first glance, I saw Gu Wenmin's complexion darkened. He glanced at me, said something to go out, then turned and left the lounge, and walked towards the deck.

I don't like it, Gu Wenmin seems to be jealous.For a moment, I was a little happy for some unknown reason, but worried that she would be really angry, so I quickly pushed Duan Fei and said, "It's okay, if you dare not sleep at night, let Xiaodou accompany you."

Tofu nodded sharply, and said: "I am willing..." Before he finished speaking, Duan Fei wrinkled his nose and said, "I don't want to." Tofu felt that his self-esteem was hurt, and he thought he was a donkey with good intentions, and immediately argued with Duan Fei. The two of you come and go, arguing in full swing.Seeing that Duan Fei's attention had been successfully diverted, I immediately went upstairs.

Passing through the command room, I greeted the carp who was manipulating the boat, and saw Gu Wenmin's slim figure standing at the bow of the boat, with black hair blowing up in the wind, his figure looked a bit lonely.My heart softened, I walked up to her and said, "Are you angry?"

Gu Wenmin looked calm, and said softly: "I have nothing to be angry about." As he spoke, he turned his face and looked away.

I thought to myself: I don’t even want to look at me anymore, this is not angry, don’t look at the big beauty who is usually calm, but now she is awkward like most girls.I thought it was a little funny, but also touched, and said, "Success, you're not angry, then I'll go on telling ghost stories to Feifei." Just two steps away, Gu Wenmin's annoyed voice came from behind: " Chen Xuan!"

I immediately turned around, accompanied the smiling face, and said: "Queen, please tell me if you have anything to do." As the saying goes, you don't want to hit the smiling face. In this way, I will...not help you in the future!"

"Oh."

Seeing me, Gu Wenmin slowly replied a word. After waiting for a long time without seeing me speak, she became anxious, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, and said, "Oh what!"

I said: "It won't be like this in the future, but what you said...what is it?"

When I asked, she immediately became embarrassed and said, "You did it on purpose."

"Ah."

Gu Wenmin was in a hurry, so she turned around and left. I couldn't see it. I wanted to provoke her, but I overplayed it. In my desperation, I hurriedly threw her into my arms and said, "I won't be like that in the future, and I won't give anything else. Women tell stories, don’t rely on other women, is it okay?” At this moment, the sea breeze is a bit strong, and the body of the person in my arms is soft and warm, not as strong as it looks on the surface, she leans back in my arms, silent for a while, He held my hand, didn't look back, just said softly: "After this time, you and Xiaodou don't fight anymore. That's illegal, and...it's too dangerous."

We didn't say anything about love and love between us, but everything seemed to be natural along the way. I understood Gu Wenmin's intentions. After a while, I tightened the person in my arms and said: "I have some unspeakable secrets. Fighting is not all about money..." At this point, I don't intend to hide it from her anymore, I was about to tell her all kinds of reasons, when her body froze for a moment, then she broke free from my arms and walked a few steps away. Near the edge of the ship, I don't know what happened.

Immediately afterwards, she turned her head, with a worried expression, and said, "Chen Xuan, look, there seems to be something floating there."

Damn it, with such a good atmosphere, if we go one step further, we can kiss. I looked at Gu Wenmin's bright red lips, and cursed in my heart, what is it that spoiled my good deeds? I don't know if men can't hold back.Walking to Gu Wenmin's side, looking in the direction she was looking at, there was indeed something floating on the sea in the distance.

It’s just that it’s dark at the moment, and we didn’t fully turn on the lights of the ship in order to save electricity. The thing is located at the junction of darkness and light, and it vaguely looks like a human figure.

Gu Wenmin quickly turned around to get the telescope, adjusted the magnification, and exclaimed: "It's a person, but it's still alive, please ask us for help." I was also shocked when I heard it, and took the telescope in her hand At first glance, there was indeed a person there, without a motorboat or driftwood, swimming in the sea, drifting back and forth with the undercurrents of the sea, staring at our direction all the time, as if wanting to swim towards us , but the undercurrent pushed him further away.

Even in the dark night, I can clearly see the desperate expression on his pale face.

Seeing this, Gu Wenmin and I didn't care about talking about love, we continued the previous topic, and quickly told Li Yu and the others about it, Li Yu immediately steered the boat towards that person, and stopped beside him in a short while.Bald No. [-] quickly salvaged the man and put him on the deck.
