Chapter 808 So it was you!
The salty sea breeze rushed into the cabin. Li Ming casually gripped the helm, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth. It was just a moment of carelessness, and he swayed along with the ship.
This made Li Ming quite depressed. How could this be? Was he having a mental illness? How could someone throw up whenever they saw a boat?
However, I felt much more at ease when I was in charge of the ship myself, since I had served as the boatswain on the Caledonia for a period of time.
Although that ship had abandoned the outdated steering method of using a helm, the principle of sailing remained the same.
Just make a slight adjustment to the direction to ensure the boat can move; after all, it's a sailboat, and the power comes entirely from nature.
What? You're asking if the canvas is broken?
Li Ming looked up at the two people hanging on the mast. On the left was Zhao Lianping, frozen into an ice sculpture. At this moment, his white eyebrows and beard had all melted, and the sun shone on him, bringing him a lot of warmth.
The occasional gust of wind made him shiver from time to time.
Yan Chengying, on the other hand, had a dark face the whole time, and was slightly blown by the wind, like a sausage hanging on a mast to dry.
"Why..." Yan Chengying's whisper drifted into Zhao Lianping's ears on the sea breeze.
"what why?"
Before Zhao Lianping could react, a foot flew over in the next second.
"What the hell were you doing in the cabin, you bastard!"
Because his hands were tied to the mast, his feet couldn't actually reach Zhao Lianping, but Yan Chengying was still furious.
I was doing a great job as the helmsman, so how did I end up being hung up? It's so embarrassing!
"Old Yan, don't be angry, don't be angry..." Zhao Lianping was very open-minded when he realized that Li Ming's solution was to hang himself up.
The first person this guy thought of was his dearest (and most beloved) friend.
"You should know that this is your punishment for running aground!"
Even though he was just being sarcastic, this guy still shamelessly claimed it was punishment for Yan Chengying running aground.
After following Li Ming for a long time, one can indeed naturally develop a certain degree of shamelessness.
Upon hearing this, Yan Chengying became even angrier.
"What do you mean by punishment for running aground? I'd rather be a plug to block that hole than hang here like this as a canvas. What are we? Cured meat?"
Although Yan Chengying couldn't kick Zhao Lianping, he could still spit spittle all over Zhao's face.
The sea spray, carried by the sea breeze, all smeared onto Zhao Lianping's face.
However, this guy just turned on Zhao Lianping and rubbed his face on the canvas, and Yan Chengying couldn't do anything about it.
This guy is shameless!
"Alright, Lao Yan, don't even think about plugging the hole. The hole you dug is harder to stop than a tank."
Seeing that Yan Chengying was really angry, Zhao Lianping explained, "How could I, Zhao Lianping, not have thought of such a clever method as using a stopper?"
Yan Chengying, upon hearing this, looked at him with suspicion, "Patch it? What did you use to patch that hole?"
Yan Chengying always felt that this guy's methods would be quite bizarre.
Upon hearing Yan Chengying's sincere question, Zhao Lianping became smug, "Then it must be with my indestructible body!"
Zhao Lianping's smug face started to contort into exaggerated facial expressions.
Yan Chengying, however, had an expression that said, "I knew it!"
A leg suddenly kicked Zhao Lianping in the face, which was constantly stretching forward.
"Pah, pah, pah! Old Yan, you bastard!"
"You bastard!" Yan Chengying finally understood why he was stuck on this mast. "You bastard, did you tell Lord Li that you would be even better as a helmsman?!"
"Old Yan, you're not cut out to be a helmsman."
Zhao Lianping said this as if it were a matter of course, clearly showing that he was very dissatisfied with the kick he had just received.
"Did you tear this canvas when you came down?" Yan Chengying looked down at the tear between the two of them. It was obviously not a natural tear; it was pulled and torn downwards from the initial hole.
"You keep watch, I'll steer the ship—that's all there is to it, no doubt about it!"
Zhao Lianping's voice suddenly became much louder. Even Li Ming, who was helmsman, turned around to look, but after realizing it was Zhao Lianping, he just scratched his ear and turned back to continue helmsmanship.
Seeing Zhao Lianping speak so loudly only confirmed Yan Chengying's suspicions, but hanging him up like that was strange, unless...
"Was it when Lord Li asked you this question down there that you also spoke to him?"
Zhao Lianping immediately fell silent, only turning his head to look at the sky, "Hehe, you know what, the sun in the sea is really nice, hehehe!"
Suddenly, Yan Chengying understood the truth. What else was there to say? It was obvious that Zhao Lianping was showing off, and then Li Ming caught him and was unhappy with him.
"Zhao Lianping, you son of a bitch!"
Yan Chengying used to pride himself on being a nobleman and disdaining to argue with guys like Zhao Lianping. He would occasionally quote ancient poems and phrases to make himself seem sophisticated. But now, he has abandoned all his manners. What are manners anyway? Zhao Lianping, you'd better die!
He kept kicking Zhao Lianping with both legs. Zhao Lianping didn't know why Lao Yan had discovered the trick so quickly, even though he had disguised himself so well.
"You don't understand, this is called making amends for your crimes!"
Zhao Lianping thought for a moment and even came up with a reason to redeem himself, making himself seem more upright. But Yan Chengying had now abandoned all pretense of dignity and didn't care at all. Please, right now I'm like a sausage with sea salt flavor hanging on the mast. Is face something I can have?
The fact that the two people could be so lively and energetic while hanging on the mast made Li Ming, who was steering below, feel somewhat impressed, realizing that he had been quite merciful after all.
Of course, Li Ming was just thawing Zhao Lianping in the sun, and also giving this slightly arrogant younger brother a warning, because if they really encountered that dragon, he wouldn't be able to take good care of them both.
When evening came, Li Ming put the two down. Seeing their pale lips but still lively and energetic appearance, Li Ming was speechless. "Alright, stop arguing. Starting tomorrow, one of you will keep watch, and the other will be responsible for keeping an eye on Tajima. We should be able to see that dragon around tomorrow. Be careful!"
"Yes~"
Although they looked quite energetic, their answers were already listless. Li Ming was too lazy to say anything more. Anyway, they both knew what was important and wouldn't do anything stupid.
“I’ll keep watch tomorrow,” Zhao Lianping said matter-of-factly.
These words clearly displeased Yan Chengying. "I'll keep watch!"
"Why should you be the lookout?" Zhao Lianping protested.
"Then why should you be the lookout?"
Yan Chengying was not convinced at all, and Li Ming watched as the two of them stopped eating and started arguing again.
