Chapter 115 Chapter 115 Another Wind Wing

*

"morning."

"Good morning, where are you going today?"

"Wow, how come you have time to come to the second floor?"

…

The cabin door had average soundproofing, and at daybreak, noisy conversations drifted into the room through the cabin door.

He didn't dare sleep too deeply in someone else's territory. Gu Mengran woke up at the slightest movement. Although his eyelids were pressed down by strong sleepiness, he still insisted on keeping his eyes open.

There was a rustling sound beside him. Liang Zhao had already started to put on his clothes. Gu Mengran sat up and looked through the window at the gray sky. He then looked at his roommate who was still sleeping and said in a low voice:

"They said we'd talk about it today. Someone will come to see us, but when will they come? I'm so hungry. I heard someone talking outside. Should we go eat with the group?"

It is impossible to set up a separate stove to cook on the boat, so it must be a big pot.

There was a lot of noise outside. Most people must have gotten up. The first thing they would do when they go out is to eat.

Gu Mengran was hungry and thirsty, and his stomach was starting to feel sour.

Of course, he was an adult and could still endure his hunger, but the key was that his guess last night made him unable to control himself and he was eager to confirm it.

Liang Zhao put on the ill-fitting clothes, stood up slowly, rubbed Gu Mengran's head with his hand, and said softly: "The host hasn't spoken yet, and it's rude for us guests to wander around in someone else's house. Be patient and bear with it for a while."

Hearing this, Gu Mengran paused while putting on his clothes and looked at him suspiciously, "That's not something you would say."

"What kind of person am I who doesn't know manners?" Liang Zhao asked with a smile.

Gu Mengran shook his head. "That's not the case. I just think..."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Mengran hung his head and sighed, looking lonely and frustrated.

Liang Zhao squatted in front of him, holding his face with his hands, and said solemnly: "It's not that I'm not anxious, Meng Ran, I also want to find grandpa and the others as soon as possible. But now we need help from others, so we must lower our posture and listen to other people's arrangements."

"and……"

Liang Zhao paused, turned his head to look at the sleeping Song Jun, and added in a whisper that only the two of them could hear: "This is most likely a test of our obedience, deliberately leaving us alone, and deciding whether we stay or go based on our performance. There are more than 200 people on the ship, and if we are troublemakers who don't obey the management, they will definitely not keep us."

Taking the initiative to go out does not necessarily mean that they will be labeled as troublemakers, but it also indirectly shows that they have low obedience and strong subjective consciousness, which is not conducive to management.

Ignoring the trump card in their hands, they were rescued when they had nothing and were homeless. They should have shown gratitude, been cautious, and obeyed the advice.

Gu Mengran was silent for a long time. When he raised his head again, the loneliness in his eyes had mostly disappeared. "I was too impatient and didn't think it through. You're right. We are two poor people without a home now. We can't act too confident."

Facts proved that Liang Zhao's guess was correct, the other party was indeed deliberately leaving them alone.

After daybreak, Song Jun also got up and left. He seemed to say nothing before leaving the house, but that meaningful look seemed to say it all.

From morning to noon, and then from noon to evening, the two seemed to be completely forgotten, sleeping one after another in the cabin with empty stomachs.

But that was only on the surface. After Song Jun left, they were the only two people left in the room. Gu Mengran no longer had any scruples. He took out a strawberry and stuffed it into Liang Zhao's mouth, and then took out half a piece of jerky and stuffed it into his own mouth...

He did not dare to let go completely, for fear of being seen or smelled by others, so the food that Gu Mengran took out were all eatable and did not have much taste.

Trapped in the room with nowhere to go, time seemed to be extremely long.

After filling his stomach, Gu Mengran fell asleep again. When he opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window had gradually darkened.

"Oh, it's really annoying!"

Shaking his head to regain consciousness, Gu Mengran sighed heavily. Then he stretched and sat up, putting on the old cotton coat that the young man had brought him last night.

Liang Zhao stood by the window like a statue, looking out with a deep and distant gaze. No one knew what he was thinking. He didn't even hear what Gu Mengran said.

I didn't get enough rest these past two days, and I couldn't sleep well. I was afraid that others would come over to find me if I slept during the day, so I could only sleep for a while alone.

Gu Mengran woke up and it was time to go to Liang Zhao.

After getting dressed and getting out of bed, Gu Mengran was just about to call Liang Zhao over to rest when there was a sudden knock on the door.

It was dark, and Gu Mengran naturally thought that Song Jun had returned. He happened to be close to the door, so he took three or two steps forward and opened it directly.

But when the door opened, the person who appeared behind the door was not Song Jun, but a slightly fat and bald middle-aged man.

As if he had not expected the door to open so quickly, the man was stunned for a moment, and then a friendly and cordial smile appeared on his stiff face, "How are you, my two little brothers? Are you used to living here?"

Here they come! Gu Mengran was possessed by the spirit of drama for a second, and nodded repeatedly, saying: "Habit, very habit. Your boat is really good, I don't feel the waves at all, it is much more stable than my fishing boat."

The flattery was so effective that the man smiled and laughed out loud: "Of course, a small boat is different from a big ship. The wind and waves that a small boat can't withstand are just a nuisance to the Giant."

“Indeed, there is absolutely no comparison.”

Gu Mengran grinned and tactfully made way for the man.

But before the man entered the house, he bent down and bowed to the man sincerely in one breath, "Thank you, thank you, Captain, thank you for sending people to rescue us. If you hadn't extended a helping hand in time, my brother and I would have frozen to death on the ship in the middle of the night."

No matter what the position is, this person is definitely a member of the management of the Giant. It’s a high position, not a low one. Besides, he came here alone, so it’s no big deal if he is called the wrong position. After all, which crew member doesn’t have a dream of becoming a captain?

A series of small moves made the man stunned.

He grabbed Gu Mengran's arm and helped him up, then patted Gu Mengran on the shoulder twice and said cheerfully, "Hey, little brother... let's not say these polite words. Now that the disaster is upon us, everyone is in dire straits. We can't bear it, so we just raise a hand and help as many people as we can."

Gu Mengran stared at the man, his eyes showing undisguised admiration and gratitude, "Captain, you——"

"Hey, little brother, don't shout nonsense, I'm not the captain."

Although he said this, the man's smile deepened, and he looked at Gu Mengran with a friendlier look. He waved his hand and introduced himself, "I'm the first mate of the Giant. My last name is Wan. You can also call me Brother Wan."

"Hello, Brother Wan, my name is Gu Mengran, and this is my brother Gu Liangzhao."

"Wow, you two have a great name, with the same surname."

"Haha, my middle character comes from my grandfather, and my brother's comes from my grandmother."

After chatting for a few words at the door, the distance between us suddenly became much closer.

It was probably time for dinner, and there was a noisy sound of people coming from the corridor. Brother Wan walked past Gu Mengran and entered the house, closing the door. He sat down on the floor that belonged to Song Jun very naturally, and greeted Gu Mengran and Liang Zhao:

"Come on, Xiao Meng, Xiao Liang, sit down, let's sit down and talk."

Gu Mengran responded and pulled Liang Zhao to sit diagonally opposite Brother Wan.

After bragging and chatting, Brother Wan stopped wasting time. As soon as the two of them sat down, he said directly: "I won't beat around the bush. There was a storm again late last night. This morning I specially sent someone to check the situation in the area where you called for help."

"I originally wanted to tow your boat back and repair it, but the boat is gone, not even a trace of it can be found. I came here just to ask you two brothers what you are going to do next."

"Are you going to do anything?" Gu Mengran lowered his eyes slightly, looking a little disappointed. After a long pause, he sighed helplessly, "The boat is gone, and we don't know what to do. Now there is water everywhere, and it is really difficult to move forward without a boat."

Brother Wan didn't respond immediately. He looked at Meng Ran intently, and then glanced at Liang Zhao who was quite vigilant. Then he pinched his chin and said slowly: "If the two brothers really have nowhere to go, you can consider staying on the Giant."

"Really?" Gu Mengran's eyes lit up and he almost jumped up in excitement.

Feeling that he had lost his composure, he shook his head in embarrassment and smiled dryly, "Sorry, Brother Wan, I was too excited. But we have nothing. Can we really stay in the Giant?"

"Who said there is nothing?" Brother Wang smiled, "Labor is the best thing for young people. As long as you work hard and obey the instructions, and don't be lazy and cunning, the door of the Giant will be open to you at any time."

"These are no problem. My brother and I are strong and efficient at our work. We will never cheat or play tricks," Gu Mengran paused and hesitantly said, "It's just that..."

Brother Wan raised his eyebrows, "What are your concerns?"

Gu Mengran admitted: "We have lost our relatives and they are still drifting in the sea. I am afraid we cannot stay here with peace of mind until we find them."

"hiss……"

Brother Wan seemed a little helpless. He pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then looked at Gu Mengran again, "You said at sea. Are your relatives also in the East China Sea? What kind of ship were they on? When did they get separated? We have been wandering around the coast for the past few months and have seen a few ships before."

Although the process was a bit bumpy, Meng Ran had finally brought the topic to this point despite his painstaking efforts. He did not dare to delay for a second and quickly told Brother Wan about the ship types and features of the Wind Wing and Ever Leap.

In fact, Gu Mengran did not hold out much hope. After all, it was the sea. Heavy rainfall had continued for more than a year. The vast and boundless ocean was not a road. How could he just run into it?

The reason for laying so much groundwork is to stay on the Giant, to let the other party know clearly that they are looking for someone, to help keep an eye out, or to do them a favor and allow them to stay on the Giant under certain conditions.

But unexpectedly, when the name Feng Yi was spoken, Brother Wang was obviously stunned. He held his chin with his hands, his eyes moving up and down, as if he was recalling where he had heard or seen this familiar name.

Time passed by, and seeing Brother Wan's increasingly solemn expression, Gu Mengran could no longer sit still. He didn't care about being polite and said hurriedly, "Brother Wan, think about it carefully. Red and green, a river boat, her deck should be covered with a layer of waterproof--"

"No, wait a minute." Brother Wan raised his hand to interrupt him, and after thinking for a moment, "The cruise ship is still very conspicuous. I am sure we have never seen it. But the name of Feng Yi is really familiar."

"Wind Wing, I must have heard of it somewhere, but why can't I remember it? Red and green, Jiang..."

Brother Wan slapped his thigh and said, "I know! Our captain always mentioned this name when he was bragging to me! Yes, it's called Wind Wing!"

The excitement only lasted for two seconds, and Brother Wan tilted his head and muttered, "It doesn't seem right. He said that the Fengyi was a cargo ship, not a river boat."

The name of a ship is similar to a license plate number, one ship has one name, and it cannot be the same or homophonic with the name of a previously approved ship. However, a new regulation was added a few years ago, which allows the name of a scrapped ship to be used again.

Then, the Wind Wing mentioned by the captain of the Giant——

The cargo ship that grandpa had in the early days?
