Chapter 24

A few of us returned to the rest cabin again. Shunzi fell asleep soon after lying down, while Jiao Ba was tossing and turning on the bed. I don’t know what the grandson was thinking. Since he went to sea, the impression given to me by Jiao Ba is that he has changed a lot.

Although he usually talks a lot, he is very quiet these days. It is rare to see him joking.

"Baby, can't you sleep?" I saw that he was feeling a little uncomfortable, so I asked casually.

"Well, I've been having a bit of insomnia these past few days, ***." Jiao Ba's hoarse voice sounded above my head. Our beds were facing each other, head to head when we were resting, and Shunzi was on top of me.

Above Jiao Ba is another sailor. This rest cabin can accommodate six people, and the conditions are relatively good.

"Hey, you also have insomnia? Why? Are you worried?" I asked with my eyes closed.

"What can I have on my mind? I just want to get some more money so that I can end this unlucky life as soon as possible. Brother, you don't know. I'm actually a little seasick. I spent more than a month on the sea.

How can I bear it?" Jiao Ba complained.

"Damn, it took me a long time just because I got seasick? I thought it was a big deal. Okay, go to bed quickly and don't waste the good time." I said this, but I didn't feel sleepy at all.

Jiao Ba sighed and said, "Hey~ Brother Yi, tell me, can we go back safely?"

"Why do you ask?" Did Jiao Ba also have a premonition of danger? Tomb robbers like them always have something called a sixth sense, and I can't fucking understand it anyway.

"Damn, I'm just upset. Ever since I saw the female corpse in the coffin, I haven't had peace of mind. Oh, forget it. Forget about my sworn brother, you should go to bed early. I'm going to sleep." After Jiao Ba finished speaking, he stopped.

No more squeaking.

In fact, I can think of what he is saying, but he cannot say on this occasion that there are other sailors in the rest cabin. If he says the wrong thing, it will easily shake the military morale. In fact, we all want to end it and go back quickly, but now we can't.

If I don't go on, Jiao Ba is just like me. Ever since I saw the female corpse in the coffin, I haven't been able to sleep well. This woman always appears in my dreams.

It scared me awake several times. Every time I woke up, I was covered in cold sweat. To be honest, I didn’t want to do it anymore, but when I thought about catching the treasure, I had to continue. Since I couldn’t sleep, I might as well go out.

Let's take a walk. Thinking of this, I quietly got up and got out of bed, opened the cabin door, and walked to the deck.

When I walked to the deck, a beautiful figure on the bow of the ship caught my eye. This girl was not sleeping. My mind turned and I wanted to scare her. I smiled evilly and walked to her quietly.

Next to me, someone suddenly yelled, "Hey, what are you doing?"

I thought Jenny would be frightened by my yelling and scream, but unfortunately I miscalculated. She just trembled all over and didn't even have any other reaction. Then she turned to look at me normally and said

, "Hey, you're bored. If you find it boring, just jump into the sea and cool off."

I leaned against the railing, took out a cigarette and lit it. After taking a puff, I said, "Damn, I didn't say I was bored. It's you. You're not sleeping at this late hour. Why are you here blowing the cold wind?"

"Can't I have insomnia?" Jenny said casually.

I smoked a cigarette and said with a smile, "Hey, what's going on? Why are there so many people with insomnia today? Or do you graduate students all love insomnia?"

Jenny looked at me and said intentionally, "Hey, you are telling me something, are you deliberately trying to seduce me?"

I chuckled and said, "I don't. I just see that you are quite lonely here. You are still blowing the sea breeze here in the middle of the night, so you are not afraid of freezing." I took off my coat and put it directly on Jenny's body.

.

Jenny didn't even refute, but tightened my coat and said, "Don't think that if you do this, I will like you. You'd better give up. You are not my type."

I threw away the cigarette butt in my hand and said, "Damn, what the hell is this? Don't worry, I didn't think anything of it."

Jenny smiled and said, "You are much different than I thought?"

"Why is it different? Am I more handsome in person?" I said shamelessly.

"Why don't you speak properly? Can you be more serious and serious?" Jenny gave me a fierce look. She was probably helpless by my language.

I immediately pretended to be serious and said, "Okay, okay, I promise you, from now on, I will be serious about everything I say, and I am all ears now."

Jenny pursed her lips and smiled and said, "That's about the same. Actually...it's different. It's because of what happened these days. On the surface, you look weak, but in fact you are quite tenacious. At the critical moment, you are still there."

It is not easy to have a fearless spirit..."

"Stop it, I'm not that kind. It's just that sometimes, if I don't make a decision, not only will they die, but I will too." My tone of voice was very soft, but my eyes were very persistent.

Jenny suddenly said at this moment, "Two people have died in the past few days at sea. I really don't know what will happen next. I feel very sorry for the two sailors who died."

When Jenny said this, her eyes were a little red. I could see that she was really sad. Although they had no feelings for each other, after all, these were two lives. They still saw them die with their own eyes, and they still felt sorry for them.

Anyone who works for himself, as long as he has some conscience, will feel sorry for himself.

I comforted her and said, "No one wants to get into trouble. There is nothing we can do if we catch up. Don't think too much. We will fish out the sunken ship and return safely." I couldn't even fool myself with this sentence.

It's so fake.

"But I always have a bad feeling in my heart. Although I haven't seen the female body in the coffin, every time I hear you mention it, I feel uncomfortable all over. Zhongyi, do you think I am too selfish? In order to salvage the sunken ship

, they don’t even care about everyone’s life safety.” Jenny’s face was not very good, and it could be seen that she was also uneasy.

I grinned and said, "There's nothing selfish about it. I went to sea for money, and you salvage the sunken ship for your family. Everyone has their own needs. As for the female body in the coffin, I think it's not that scary, it's just a dead person."

, Even if it’s some kind of demonic insect corpse, so what? Jiao Ba just heard that it’s not that suspenseful.” I was telling lies, but in fact I was really scared.

After listening to what I said, Jenny put on a smile and handed me my coat and said, "Well, everything will go well. Thank you. Then... I'll give you my coat back. It's time for me to go back."

I took the coat, nodded and said, "You're welcome, I'm always at your service, good night, beautiful lady."

Jenny chuckled lightly, turned around and left. I looked at her leaving back and had some wild thoughts in my mind, but the dirty thoughts disappeared in an instant. I took out another cigarette and lit it, since there was no one to accompany me to enjoy the moonlight.

, I had no choice but to appreciate it by myself. I sat on the deck smoking a cigarette, blowing the sea breeze, and looking at the dark sea. What I felt in my heart was no longer excitement, but helplessness and timidity. I hope everything goes well...
