Fu Laoda was in the cockpit at the helm. Actually, he originally wanted Fu Ming to take the helm so he could pick up his precious fishing rod and try his luck on the deck.
But considering that his daughter-in-law hadn't been back for so long and it was rare for the couple to spend time together, Fu Laoda suppressed the thought as soon as it popped into his head.
Fu Wan led Bai Qianzhou on a tour of the ship. It was the first time Bai Qianzhou had ever given a detailed tour of the "Riding the Waves". This ship was much larger than the "Sailing Forward". Without exaggeration, it was comparable in size to the warships they used for missions.
"Ah Wan, it's rare to have such a relaxed day, how about we play some cards?"
Wandering around wasn't very interesting. It took more than an hour to get from the pier to Yanwo Island. After wandering around with Qin Anning for a while, Fu Ming couldn't help but want to find Fu Wan to play with.
Fu Wan doesn't mind playing cards, as long as it's not done while at sea and the stakes aren't high; she quite enjoys participating in this kind of entertainment.
If she wasn't mistaken, there didn't seem to be any playing cards on the ship.
But seeing Fu Ming's smug look, Fu Wan immediately realized what was going on.
"Brother, do you have any playing cards?"
Fu Ming chuckled and nodded, "I brought this last time, but you said it couldn't be used in combat, so I just put it away. It's perfect to take it out now."
There's no one else here, Wan, let's play a game together!
"Okay, we won't gamble. Whoever loses has to crawl under the table."
Fu Wan's suggestion caught Qin Anning's eye, and Bai Qianzhou readily agreed.
The only place with tables on the ship was the restaurant, so the four of them went there. Fortunately, the restaurant was not far from the deck, and the sea breeze on the deck was quite strong. They opened the restaurant door, and it was very cool inside.
The commotion of the four playing cards caught the attention of Jack and his two companions, especially as they watched Fu Ming keep crawling under the table. Jack and Robert were even more eager to join in.
This looks like a lot of fun!
Fu Wan and the other three weren't playing Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game), but rather a simple game called "Drawing Turtles" (another card game).
The game rules are to draw cards from other players, and if you have the same card in your hand, you play it down.
Whoever has the most cards left in their hand at the end is the turtle.
It's somewhat similar to the match-3 games of later generations.
Unfortunately, after half an hour, Fu Ming had already been a turtle three times.
Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu, who were watching, laughed heartily without holding back, making Fu Ming blush.
Bai Qianzhou and Qin Anning each became the tortoise once, while Fu Wan was very lucky and never got to be the tortoise.
"Friends, we want to participate too!"
"Me too, count me in!"
After the game ended, Robert and Jack hurriedly spoke up, and Tom nodded repeatedly.
Fu Ming was eager for new people to join in, but strangely enough, no matter how bad the cards he was dealt, he always ended up with the most cards in his hand.
"You guys have fun, I'm going out to check!"
Fu Wan put down her cards. She had gotten her fill of playing cards in the past half hour. Sigh, being invincible is too lonely. It's no fun to always win a little bit!
Seeing Fu Wan put down her cards, Bai Qianzhou also dropped his cards and stopped playing.
As the two stepped out of the restaurant, the sea breeze on the deck blew in their faces, and Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou squinted in unison.
"That's great!"
Bai Qianzhou suddenly sighed, and without needing to say more, Fu Wan knew what he was talking about.
"Yes, that's great!"
Compared to war, such peaceful and comfortable days are priceless.
The two leaned against the railing side by side, their hands unconsciously touching.
Just as Bai Qianzhou was about to take Fu Wan's hand, Fu Wan suddenly remembered something.
"Oh dear, that's what I forgot! Wait here for me!"
After saying that, she quickly turned around and ran towards the upstairs rest cabin.
Bai Qianzhou was puzzled, but he wasn't in a hurry. When Fu Wan returned, she was holding an unfamiliar wooden box.
"Ta-da! Guess what this is?"
Fu Wan presented the box to Bai Qianzhou like a treasure, and Bai Qianzhou was somewhat flattered by the sight.
"A gift for me?"
"Yes, hurry up and open it!"
Fu Wan revealed a mysterious smile, and Bai Qianzhou, not wanting to spoil the fun, quickly opened the wooden box.
Inside the wooden box was a cloth bundle rolled up in a ball. Bai Qianzhou felt that the way it was rolled up looked somewhat familiar, and he had a vague guess in his mind.
Could it be a gold needle?
That's not right. Master said that golden needles are extremely rare. How could Fu Wan have found another set?
But this technique looks too similar to the way the gold needle was wrapped before.
With thoughts surging through his mind, Bai Qianzhou didn't have time to think much before Fu Wan urged him to untie the rope on the cloth bag.
The cloth bag was unfolded, and a row of glittering gold needles was instantly displayed in front of Bai Qianzhou.
Truly a golden needle!
Bai Qianzhou was overjoyed, and countless words welled up in his throat, but in the end, they all turned into one sentence.
"Ah Wan, thank you."
Fu Wan smiled and waved her hand, "No need to thank me, it's just a matter of reciprocity!"
Theoretically, the watch Bai Qianzhou gave her was much more valuable than this gold needle.
Bai Qianzhou shook his head, "You don't know how important this golden needle is to me. I found a master in the south who is exceptionally skilled in acupuncture."
Ever since Sun Shao-ping woke up, Bai Qian-zhou has officially started learning acupuncture from Li Zhong.
However, the needles he used for his studies weren't even silver needles. In those days, very few people could make silver needles, let alone the rare gold needles.
Besides seeing Fu Wan, he also wanted to contact friends to see if they could make a pair of silver needles during his vacation. Unexpectedly, Fu Wan brought gold needles to him today, just after he had taken his vacation yesterday.
Bai Qianzhou rarely talked on and on, and Fu Wan could tell that he really loved medicine.
He liked it even more after seeing that the gold needle had no cultural value whatsoever.
After all, there's no risk of having to hand it over.
God knows how much he struggled before deciding to hand over those gold needles.
He wanted to keep the first gift his partner gave him.
But those were cultural relics. As a soldier, he had the awareness to do so. However, after handing over the gold needle, he suffered from insomnia for several nights in a row, feeling that he had let Fu Wan down.
"Wan, this must be hard to buy. Did you put a lot of thought into it?"
Bai Qianzhou wasn't stupid. Fu Wan smiled and realized that this thing was indeed very useful to Bai Qianzhou. She immediately felt that it was worth the trip to the capital and the tens of thousands of yuan she spent.
"It's alright, Bai Qianzhou. You must study acupuncture well so that you can save more people in the future."
"must!"
Bai Qianzhou nodded solemnly. Just then, Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan, who had been chatting in the rest cabin, quickly came down.
Seeing Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou talking on the deck, Ye Xiaocui hurriedly called out, "Awan, Bai, come and get your things, we'll be there soon!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan looked up at the sea. Only then did she realize that, without her noticing, Yanwo Island was already very close!
"Bai Qianzhou, I'll help my mother carry the tools. Go and call my brother and the others."
"good!"
Bai Qianzhou readily agreed, as he also wanted to go to the rest cabin to put away the golden needles.
It had been four or five months since she last visited Yanwo Island. The "Riding the Waves" ship hadn't completely stopped yet, so Fu Wan walked to the side of the ship, eager to see if there was any seafood on the beach.
