"By the way, little brother, has the room card been returned?" Mu Zi asked — this was the starting point of the conversation.
"It has been sent to the reclaim office."
"Sorry to trouble you this time. If it weren't for my urgent matter, I would have sent it over." Mu Zi's gaze suddenly softened.
"Everyone has times when it's inconvenient."
Luoqiu looked at a small black spot on the sea — it was probably a small island or something like that.
"By the way, you look like you are still a student, right? Did you come here with your girlfriend during the Golden Week? "
She seemed to be a very talkative lady, and the topic unconsciously revolved around Luoqiu — but surprisingly, some of Ms. Mu Zi's questions did not cause any negative emotions.
Perhaps it was because of her affinity as a woman, or perhaps it was because of her skills as a social person. When the topic was opened, Ms. Mu Zi would also talk about her own things, "… If you have a chance, you should really go to the Tibetan Plateau to have a look. If you like traveling, I would recommend it. "
"If I have a chance." Luoqiu nodded with a smile.
Ms. Mu Zi intertwined her fingers and stretched comfortably against the sea breeze. She seemed to be very satisfied with the delicate sea breeze here. She sighed and said, "Well … I have rested enough. Little brother, I have a good time chatting with you. I thought there would be a generation gap since you are so young. "
Luoqiu thought for a while and said, "The generation gap is probably formed because there is a debate. It is good to talk about something else. People of different ages can always find common ground. "
Ms. Mu Zi was startled and subconsciously said, "However, people can't just talk about things that they like when they are in a relationship. After a long time, there will inevitably be friction. After all, creatures like humans are independent, irreproducible, and complex individuals. If you only have simple contact with people, it may be difficult to find intimate friends. "
"Thank you for your guidance." Luoqiu nodded.
Ms. Mu Zi suddenly opened her handbag, "Little brother, take it as a thank you gift for helping me send the room card. I bought this when I traveled to the plateau before the New Year. I hope it can bring you luck. "
A small chain of wooden beads.
Luoqiu curiously took them and saw that each bead was engraved with a Sanskrit word. Each bead was different. Although it looked rough at first glance, it seemed to have an indescribable sense of delicacy upon closer inspection.
"The body is like colored glass, clear inside and out," Madam Mu Zi said softly, "The words on the bead are translated. I hope you can be a worry-free person. "
"This is too valuable." Luoqiu shook his head and planned to return the bracelet.
Madam Mu Zi smiled. "It's fate that brought us together. Although I'm not a Buddhist, I quite like this saying. If I can give you a little kindness, and you can share my kindness with others, life will be better. "
As she spoke, Madam Mu Zi stood up and gently patted Luoqiu's shoulder. Then, she looked at You Ye, who was beside Luoqiu, and smiled. "Of course, treat the people around you well."
…
"This Madam Mu Zi is very cultured." The servant girl rarely praised others.
"The body is like colored glass, clear inside and out." Luoqiu played with the wooden bead bracelet in his hand and suddenly smiled. "It seems that this sea trip was really good."
"Master, this bracelet seems to be attached with a very weak spiritual power … It's a very gentle power." You Ye expressed her opinion. "If ordinary people wear it, they will probably feel more refreshed, and there won't be any adverse reactions."
"It's probably consecrated by an eminent monk." Luoqiu looked at You Ye. "Although I haven't been there, I heard that this kind of small thing consecrated by eminent monks is very popular in the plateau. But it's not easy to find one that can be consecrated."
Saying this, the shop owner directly put the bracelet on his wrist … His senses were much stronger than that of ordinary people. The weak energy on the bracelet instantly emitted a sense of calmness, which was easily captured by him.
"Mu Zi, Mu Zi … Li."
Luoqiu smiled slightly and continued to look at the black spot on the sea that was gradually approaching. The tourist brochure placed next to him introduced that this was a small island called Haibei.
…
…
The friction between the lid and the stainless steel wine jug made a metal scraping sound. The old captain had drunk almost half of the vodka inside and felt a warmth in his body.
Standing on the deck on the second floor, the old captain looked at the people below. He often watched the tourists on the deck here for dozens of minutes.
However, this time was probably the coldest he had seen in the hot Golden Week in the past ten years. There was almost no one.
There was only a man and a woman who looked like a young couple sitting on the bench on the deck, silently overlooking the sea. It had been a while.
The old captain naturally recognized this young couple. This was the young man and woman who traveled with Officer Ma.
"Silently accompany …" The old captain's eyes suddenly became cloudy as if he was reminiscing about something.
He took another sip of liquor and took out the pocket watch he carried with him.
There were footsteps behind the old captain. It was the sound of leather shoes hitting the deck. He hardly needed to look back to know who the person was because this was the person he had an appointment with.
"Dad, are you looking for me?"
The person who came was … Mu Qinghai, the deputy captain.
The old captain shook the wine bottle in his hand at this time and suddenly sent it to Mu Qinghai. Mu Qinghai was taken aback and frowned, "Dad, are you drinking again?"
"There's not much left." Mu Enli shook his head and suddenly said, "You drink too … We haven't drunk together for a long time."
"I don't drink during work hours," Mu Qinghai still shook his head.
Mu Enli said, "People like us who have been on the ship all our lives, without alcohol, it is equivalent to losing half of our lives. Why don't you understand?"
Mu Qinghai still shook his head, "If you drink, you can find a place to drink when you get ashore. As the deputy captain of a ship, I will not touch alcohol on the ship anyway. "
Mu Enli took a sip happily, turned around, and leaned against the railing. The wind almost blew off his hat, so he had to take it off.
Mu Enli looked at the badge on the hat and said indifferently, "Everyone on the ship is afraid of me, but I can always find someone who is willing to drink with me. However, you can't find anyone … Whether it is at work or off work, everyone will only stay away from you. Do you know why? "
Mu Qinghai said indifferently, "Work has a work system. If the crew has doubts about me, they can raise it with me. After discussion, if I am wrong, I will naturally change. As for staying away … I am just strict with myself. If they are afraid of me, it proves that I have my own prestige on the ship. "
"Wrong."
Mu Enli shook his head, "Wrong. It's not because you have prestige, but because you don't know how to drink. You don't understand that the most important thing on this ship is not me or you, nor the manager, but every sailor on the ship."
"Dad, what era is it? The sailor's way of life is outdated. " Mu Qinghai argued, "Maybe you can deepen the feelings between you and the crew, but it doesn't improve work efficiency at all. The change rate of the staff on the ship is very big every year. If you want to cultivate feelings one by one, it is too time-consuming … Besides, they are just staff on the ship, not sailors. "
Mu Qinghai seemed to feel that his words were a bit too much. He took a deep breath, and his tone slowed down, "Dad, when we return this time, you will retire. Now that I've retired, I'll enjoy my life and don't worry about anything else … In the future, I'll do better. So, leave everything in the future to me. Don't worry about it anymore. "
Mu Enli was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Qinghai, did you really stay in the central control room all the time last night and never left?"
"Except for walking away when the power went out, no." Mu Qinghai's face didn't change, and then asked, "Why do you ask?"
"No." Mu Enli shook his head, "Nothing, that's it. We will arrive at Haibei Island soon. Go and prepare. See how many tourists are willing to get off the ship to sightsee. "
"Okay." Mu Qinghai nodded, then turned and left.
After the old captain stayed here for a while, he planned to leave.
Before leaving, the old captain glanced at the young couple sitting on the deck and looking at the sea, and whispered, "If we can stay together for a long time, it's good, it's good …"
