Chapter 19: Old John
Dou Qingxiao looked at Chen Yan in his eyes, as if he was saying that you are teasing me.
Chen Yan ignored her silent protest and said, "Chris, do you have any acquaintances here?"
Chris stroked his flowing blonde hair and laughed, "Chen, you are right to let me come along, no one is more familiar with the situation in this village than me." ”
Dou Qingxiao said coldly: "Why is this your hometown?"
Chris laughed: "It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that I am home, but when I was younger, I was an adventurous lad who longed for the legendary deeds of the Cayman Islands. After hitting the wall there several times in succession, I came here disheartened and lived here for a while. ”
Hearing that he had gone to the Cayman Islands, both of them looked sideways.
Dou Qingxiao asked: "You actually survived"
In her eyes, Chris is a natural nerd who is off the line, and such an idiot can survive in the Cayman Islands, so you can imagine how bad his luck must be.
Chris didn't bother with her taunts, he picked up a backpack and said energetically, "Let's go, let me help you get your mother back." ”
Dou Qingxiao: "......"
The three of them walked out of the dock, and when they left, they saw a dilapidated house on the side of the road, which Chris said was the best inn in the area. And Dou Qingxiao said that he didn't live in it.
Chris said: "Dear niece, you must know that it is not easy to find a responsible boatman here. I do know a few people, but I'm not sure if they're still alive. ”
Dear niece
After saying these five words, Chen Yan felt a surge of murderous intent surging from Dou Qingxiao's body.
He shook his head, stood between the two, and said, "Let's stay first, it's still a long time anyway." ”
Twenty-five days were left before the end of the blindness of the ghost eye, and in order to maximize their chances of victory, they had to be careful at every step. Dou Qingxiao naturally has this account clear.
She snorted, glared at Chris viciously, and walked in with her luggage.
After a while, there was the sound of things breaking and brawling inside.
Krist: "What's going on inside"
"Who knows. Chen Yan snorted: "Let's go, my friend." ”
When the two of them entered the hotel, they opened the door and saw strong men with tattoos on three or four sides lying crookedly on the ground. Dou Qingxiao sat at the bar and raised a glass of lemon juice to drink.
Chris was stunned, he pointed to the tattered table and chair, the boss hiding behind the counter, and said in a trembling tone: "Niece, did you do all this?"
Dou Qingxiao rolled her eyes, she smashed the cup on the ground, and looked at the counter viciously: "Hey, it's not dead, it's not dead, open a room for me."
Smack
A bunch of keys were put on the counter by the boss, and this sturdy man seemed to be frightened by Dou Qingxiao, and said tremblingly: "The keys are here, whatever you like."
"Hey, a big man, how can he be like a girl. Dou Qingxiao cursed, and then took the key and walked up the stairs.
Chen Yan walked over, touched a piece of goldfish from his arms and put it on the counter, and said with a smile: "Boss, the little girl is not sensible, please bear with me." ”
The boss saw the golden light in his eyes when he saw the goldfish, and he wanted to reach out to take it, but when he thought of something, he glanced at Chen Yan suspiciously.
"Hmm"
He saw Chris standing behind Chen Yan, and wondered, "Are you ...... Chris"
"Hein, my good friend" Chris laughed and walked over.
The man named Hai Yin stretched out his hand and shook his hand, and then said with hostility: "What does this mean?"
Chris said: "Chen is my friend on the road, and the little girl just now is my new niece. Don't worry, Hein, about the loss of your store and the medical expenses of your brothers, I will be covered. ”
"Hmph" After seeing the acquaintance, Hai Yin calmly put the gold nugget back to the counter. He said: "How many years, I didn't expect you to dare to come back, don't forget, Scarface Hitt is still looking for you all over the world." ”
Scarface Hitt is a powerful landlord in the Cayman Islands, having operated in this extralegal land for more than 30 years. It was also surprising that someone like Chris could provoke Hit.
He began to suspect that this good man he met on the road was not so innocent.
Chris smiled slightly: "Hit, that thief old man is not dead, God is really unfair." ”
"If you seek death yourself, don't drag me in. Hai Yin cleaned up the counter, glanced at Chen Yan and the others, and asked, "You want to enter the island."
"Yes, do you have a recommendation, by the way, John is still not there"
Chris is talking about John as a well-known boatman in a small fishing village, a well-known lookout and stargazer here. He is known here as the Son of the Sea, which is a high compliment.
Hein shook his head: "Little John brought people into the island a year ago, and then disappeared. ”
Chris looked regretful: "That's a pity. ”
It is a very common thing for people to die here, and the two of them have no cold, let alone such leisure and elegance. After sighing, Chris asked for a key and went to rest first.
After all, this trip lasted about five days, and even if it was as strong as Chen Yan, it was a little tired.
He took a key, and as he walked upstairs, he was stopped by a voice.
"I heard you're looking for a boatman"
Chen Yan paused and looked back.
The man who spoke was huddled in the corner of the tavern, he was thin and withered. Looks like he's getting close to his sixtieth year.
Before Chen Yan could speak, Hai Yin scolded: "Get out of the way old John, don't disturb my guests." You don't even have a boat, what kind of boatman are you?"
Old John thought for a moment, and he asked, "This is ......?"
Hein mixed a glass of wine for Chen Yan and said, "He is John's father, and he used to be a very famous boatman. After teaching his son, he retreated into the background. After John Jr.'s death, he has been wandering around my shop to find guests to visit the Cayman Islands. ”
Chen Yan nodded and said, "Another drink." ”
After a while, he sat down in front of old John with two glasses of white wine, and said hello: "Hello, you are going to be our boatman"
Old John was originally shrunk in his seat, and when he saw the crystal clear wine, he swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't want money, I just ask you to buy a boat and let me pass." ”
Chen Yan suddenly realized when he heard it: "You are going to the Cayman Islands to find John"
"Give up, John hasn't been heard from for a year, what does it mean here, I don't need to say more," Hein said.
Hearing his words, Old John's neck stiffened, and his voice became loud: "He's not dead yet"
