Chapter 111 Pascal's Troubles
Xiao Peng handed a life jacket to Pascal: "Put it on!"
Pascal put on his life jacket and said, "Are you sure you don't want to wait for them?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "What are you waiting for? I'm telling you the truth, Fabian has really disappointed me this time! If we were just friends, I wouldn't care what he does, but this is a business between the three of us! And he doesn't even take it as his own business!"
Pascal said, "You don't know my cousin. He does this for a reason!"
Xiao Peng untied the ropes and started the boat to leave the harbor: "Damn it, it's going to rain again... What did you say?"
Pascal said, "My cousin's ideas are actually very simple. He has an older brother and an older sister. His brother is now a multinational businessman, and his sister is married to a banker. In today's society, judging a person's success is very simple: it's based on whether you have money, and he has undoubtedly been the loser in his family for many years. He's very simple now, just wanting to prove that he's not a loser in his family. Those crew members were introduced to him by people in the diving association. He did this to gain their support and gain control of the diving association."
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "What does he want with the right to speak in the Diving Association?"
Pascal said, "After all, that's the symbol of the Cousteau family, isn't it?"
"He can't get over it!" Xiao Peng concluded. "If he becomes strong enough, others will naturally flock to him. Just like you, you never interact much with the Cousteau family, but your status in your family is definitely higher than his. Why is that? Because you are strong enough. Why can't he understand this?"
"He's so anxious! After so many years of suppression, he doesn't want to waste a minute now." He said as he carried a large bag onto the deck. The bag was filled with octopuses, weighing at least dozens of pounds. "Where's Nightingale?"
Xiao Peng said while driving the sailboat, "It won't come looking for us for a while. I told it last time that it would only appear after making sure there were no other ships near ours. Although the limelight has died down a lot now, there are still many people watching it."
Pascal curled his lips after hearing this and said, "It sounds like it really listens to you. Today I brought its favorite octopus, and I don't believe it won't play with me!"
Xiao Peng laughed heartily as the boat left the harbor. After adjusting the sails, he set the boat to autopilot. "Take your time. Don't stay on the deck. If you catch a cold in the rain, I won't take care of you!"
Pascal said, "I'm not afraid of catching a cold!"
"I'm afraid you'll infect me! If you catch a cold, I'll throw you onto the deck in your sleeping bag!" Xiao Peng said, "I've already set the route, heading straight to Palermo. You're going to suffer these next few days!"
Pascal said, "Is there anyone from Marseille who has never been to sea?"
Xiao Peng shook his head. "You just can't get over it. Just follow my advice and go to Palermo to wait for me. Do you really have to come with me?"
Pascal said, "I do!"
Xiao Peng sighed, "Okay, then we'll travel 24 hours a day. You drive the boat first, and I'll go get some sleep! I'll drive the boat tonight!"
"Okay, no problem!" Pascal looked a little excited while holding the rudder.
Xiao Peng is going to Sicily, Italy. The coordinates of the shipwreck found by Moro belong to Italian waters. They are going to Paramo, the capital of Sicily, to obtain the sea area work qualification certification in the name of the company.
In fact, Pascal could have just gone to Palermo for this matter, but Pascal insisted on going on the same boat with Xiao Peng, so they simply sailed to Palermo together, since it was also a port city.
Pascal thought it would be a good idea to get out and about, so the two of them sailed together to Sicily.
The Mediterranean Sea is not actually very cold in winter, about ten degrees Celsius, but due to the heavy rain and sea breeze, it is really painful to be at sea.
Xiao Peng fell asleep on the sofa in the cabin.
There's a large bedroom at the bow of the Red Head Boat. It's called a double bedroom, but it's spacious enough for three people to sleep in. But there's a basic rule of thumb on boats: you can't sleep in the bow while sailing.
This is not a superstition or anything like that. It is because the bow of a ship is the most bumpy place when it is moving in the ocean, so it is best to sleep at the stern when the ship is moving.
There was no bedroom at the stern of their "red-head boat", so Xiao Peng could only sleep on the sofa in the cabin.
It was strange to say, most people would feel uncomfortable sleeping on the sea because of the bumpy ride, but Xiao Peng slept very soundly on the boat, the ups and downs of the waves making him feel as comfortable as a cradle. Xiao Peng was having a good night's sleep.
When he woke up, he found that the interior cockpit was empty.
Xiao Peng yawned and rubbed his face. What the hell was this little Pa doing? He didn't fly inside on such a bad day, but stayed outside. What the hell was wrong with him?
He went to the bathroom to urinate and then staggered towards the cabin door. As soon as he opened the cabin door, he was splashed with rain in the face.
"Fuck, it's raining so hard?" Xiao Peng was stunned and quickly walked out of the cabin. Why was Pascal running outside instead of staying in the boat in such heavy rain?
He went up to the deck and was almost furious when he saw that Pascal was standing outside on the bridge, steering the ship and singing!
"Xiao Pa, are you fucking crazy?" Xiao Peng pushed Pascal aside and began to lower the sails to slow down. After the boat stabilized, he dropped a parachute anchor into the sea to keep the boat stable. After doing all this, he found Pascal standing there like a fool. He was so angry that he dragged Pascal back to the cabin and closed the hatch to prevent rain from entering.
"If you want to die, don't drag me with you!" Xiao Peng was really scared this time. Fortunately, this guy was just acting crazy and was just standing there in the rain and wind. If he really had something to worry about and jumped into the sea, Xiao Peng would be guilty of a serious crime. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
He walked to the indoor bridge and looked at the electronic chart in amazement: "Where the hell did this go?"
According to the route he set, they should go north from Marseille, bypass Corsica, and go along the coast of Italy through the Tyrrhenian Sea to Palermo. But now, the ship is going all the way south and is almost reaching Sardinia. Is it going straight to Algeria?
Xiao Peng took a deep breath to adjust his mood, then turned to look at Pascal: "Xiao Pa, we are friends, right?"
Pascal nodded.
Xiao Peng continued, "I don't know what happened to you that made you feel so bad, but since we're friends, you should let me share the burden with you, unless in your eyes I'm not your friend!"
Pascal was silent for a long time, then looked up at Xiao Peng and said, "Xiao, I'm sorry. It's my fault today that I didn't control my emotions well. But I really can't control myself."
"What happened?"
"The man I nominally call father came to see me!"
