Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Seeing Yun Xianhe helplessly spreading his hands, Dirk smiled:

"Don't be nervous. Our captain is a good man. Even though he looks a little fierce, he will definitely do what he promised. Really, everyone on this ship was rescued by the captain, and they were all in a miserable state."

"Hey! Dirk! Don't say that, I'm not miserable!"

"I know, I know, you're just lost."

Dirk grinned foolishly, and 'as he wished' he was hit by a friendly punch from the other party.

Yun Xianhe covered Hongshu's eyes when the other party attacked.

"Children should not watch such violent scenes."

"..."

After having a fight with others, Dirk approached Yun Xianhe and the others in a very familiar manner, helping to introduce everyone on the ship and their daily tasks:

"We usually maintain our weapons, go fishing, go ashore to exchange some supplies, ask around for news of treasures, and go sailing."

"The Saka who just passed by was an unlucky guy who went out to sea for adventure but got lost and almost starved to death."

"As you can see, John was originally a fisherman. He couldn't catch any fish, so he got angry and came here to seek excitement."

"Old Tom was a bit miserable. His family situation was a mess and he was not liked by his parents. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and ran away on a boat with his brother."

At this point Dirk sighed:

"Unfortunately, his brother was too weak and died a few days after we rescued him."

Yun Xianhe listened quietly and gained a preliminary understanding of the members on this ship.

To sum it up simply - a group of people with tragic life stories, a group of people with middle school syndrome, the only chef named Oyama who cooks delicious food, and the only normal person, the captain.

...No wonder the captain looks so old at such a young age.

Yun Xianhe lowered his head and looked at Hongshu.

The former smiled brightly.

The latter was silent for a while, thinking that there might be another abnormal person added to the ship.

"We're here for adventure too!"

"Oh! That's great! But taking risks is hard work."

When Dirk said this, he looked up and down at the frail Yun Xianhe, and then looked at Hongshu beside him.

Although Yun Xianhe is quite skilled, he is too thin and looks like he could get sick easily.

Thinking of this, Dirk shook his head.

"You two may not be suited to a sailing adventure."

"Of course, after all, we are not pirates, but adventurers. However, adventurers can also conquer the seas!"

"Hahahahaha! I like your answer!"

John came over with a big laugh and threw two blankets to them:

"Make sure you are well protected. It's windy at night. Don't catch a cold. Medicines are scarce on the ship. It's easy to die."

"John, can't you say something nice?"

Old Tom, who came back from the kitchen, got furious when he heard this and dragged John to discuss life.

Yun Xianhe carefully wrapped the blanket around Hongshu, then tied his own blanket around his neck and threw it behind him.

The wind ripped at the hem of the blanket, like lifting a brave man's cloak.

The oil lamp hanging on the mast blurred the other person's face and dyed the white hair with the dimness of the world.

The scene was like something out of a picture book or a story book, leaving Dirk a little stunned:

"You are really suitable to be an adventurer."

"I think so!"

Yun Xianhe smiled at him and looked up at the captain standing on the upper deck:

"Captain, when do we leave?"

The captain, holding a cigarette butt in his mouth, looked at the high-spirited Yun Xianhe, took the cigarette butt and dusted off the ashes, then smiled and replied:

"Why are you in such a hurry? The treasure won't run away. Little Polaris, do you really believe there is a treasure there?"

"Of course!"

The captain laughed:

"Okay, don't cry if you can't find me when the time comes."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not the type to cry."

Yun Xianhe spread his hands and sighed as if with regret.

The captain ignored him and took the helmsman back to the room to study the nautical chart.

However, Dirk at the side showed great interest in Yun Xianhe:

"Little Polaris, have you and your brother ventured anywhere else before you met us?"

"Of course! We were on an island before, let me tell you..."

Hongshu looked at Yun Xianhe who easily got along with the pirates on the ship, and for a moment he didn't know whether to envy or sigh.

Should we say he is worthy of being a brave man?

Looking at the group of people arm in arm, if Hiroki hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it at all if someone told him that they had just carried out a test not long ago.

"Hey! Little North Star's brother! What's your name?"

A large hand was placed on Hiroki's shoulder, and the unrestrained force successfully knocked him off balance.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I should have been more careful."

"It's okay, my name is Xian'an."

"Idle?"

Saka scratched the hair on the back of his head, thinking that the name sounded a bit strange.

The original name of Little North Star also sounds strange, and it doesn't sound like a local name at all.

"Then I'll call you An. Here! Drink some hot soup to warm yourself up. Cheer up. You still have to attend the welcoming ceremony later."

"A welcoming ceremony?"

Seeing that Hiroki seemed interested, Saka smiled mysteriously without giving any further explanation.

Over there, Yun Xianhe had just finished telling a group of pirates about his adventures with Hongshu.

He walked over and rubbed Hiroki's head twice skillfully:

"Dinner will be served soon—"

"Why did you give me this name?"

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe replied naturally:

"My name comes from '闲云野鹤', which means free and unrestrained. I think you might like this feeling too. Besides, the most precious thing on the road of adventure is safety and turning danger into fortune."

The brave man counted on his fingers and said:

"So, I picked the word 'an xian zi zai' from the idioms and chose the two characters 'xian an'. Of course, you can change it if you don't like it. It all depends on your own preference."

Having said that, Yun Xianhe rubbed Hongshu's head twice.

The latter looked up at him, his heterochromatic eyes looking particularly soft in the dim light of the kerosene lamp.

The brightest stars in the night sky are not as bright as those eyes.

Hiroki paused after noticing someone standing in the wind direction, and said slowly:

"No thanks...I like it very much."

The second half of the sentence was spoken very quietly, but Yun Xianhe still heard it thanks to his good hearing.

He chuckled softly, and his gentle voice was carried far away by the sea breeze, like the murmur of a dream.

Noah's Ark captured this data and stored it.

"Yo! Little North Star! Ann!"

Old Tom, who was standing at the door of the cabin, saw the two people looking at him and waved at them:

"Come here! The dinner has started!"

"Come here, is there anything delicious tonight?"

"Hahaha of course!"

Yun Xianhe led Hongshu into the cabin. The pirates surrounded the dining table tightly, making it impossible to see what was inside.

"Here they come! Our little Polaris and Little Lucky are here!"

Seeing Hiroki's confused look, Saka smiled and explained:

"I just asked the captain, An means safety, and for pirates, it means luck!"

"That's right! Those who can be safe and sound on this sea are lucky!"

"We now have the North Star to guide us and the luck of our escort. We will definitely find the treasure this time!"

"Hey, don't be so confident."

"Tsk, I like to praise my children when I'm happy, so what?"

Yun Xianhe and Hongshu were pushed to the dining table, which was filled with a variety of delicious food.

The pirates brought out their best to entertain their new member.

Hiroki, who was sitting between the burly men, was initially frightened by the physical pressure.

But looking at Yun Xianhe's relaxed and enthusiastic look, he suddenly felt that it was not that scary.

The captain on the first seat patted the table, turning everyone's attention to himself.

"Now let us welcome two new members!"

"Oh oh oh!!"

The pirates present responded enthusiastically by banging on the table and clapping their hands.

"First place! Little North Star!"

Yun Xianhe, who accepted his code name well, stood up, greeted the people around him enthusiastically, and high-fived the two pirates next to him.

"Second place! Little lucky!"

Hongshu was stunned for a moment when he was called. Yun Xianhe, who was already sitting nearby, and the pirates around him gave him warm cheers.

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Hahaha, it seems that Little Lucky is a little shy!"

Seeing Hiroki seeming a little overwhelmed, the captain was very considerate and spoke up to help him out:

"Everyone, you need to get along well with the new members. I'm talking about you, Silk. Don't just drag others to compete with you."

The big guy called Silk was stunned. He glanced at the two clean-looking people sitting opposite him and scratched his head in a naive way:

"Captain, I can't do this."

"Hahahahaha!" xN

Everyone laughed. One person joked:

"Hey, Silk, do you look down on our little North Star? I'll kill you in one move!"
