Chapter 4: Haiqin (4)
Haigo was right, only an hour before dawn would these pirates be quiet for a while. Under Hai Qin's gaze, Hai Ge helped Xiao Dong put the ship into the sea.
"Hurry up," Seeing that Xiao Dong wanted to open his mouth to speak again, Hai Qin hurriedly opened his mouth and said calmly. "You have to disappear into the sea before the sun rises, there are at least ten days to sail from here to the Imperial Harbour, the goddess of the sea has a bad temper, you have to be careful. ”
"Boss, don't worry!" Xiao Dong smiled confidently: "I have been dealing with the goddess of the sea since I was a child, and it won't take me ten days, and I will be able to reach the Emperor Port in nine days!"
"Without further ado, hurry up. Haige had untied the rope tied to the pillar and threw it into Xiao Dong's boat. Don't forget to kick it so that Xiao Dong's boat can float out a little.
"Then I'm leaving! Boss, wait for my good news!" Xiao Dong also knew that he couldn't shout, and after saying the last sentence to Hai Qin, he rowed hard. Hai Qin and Hai Ge did not leave immediately, but watched Xiao Dong's departure until the darkness swallowed him.
"Do you really think Xiao Dong can accomplish this task?" asked Haigo.
Hai Qin shook his head and said, "Actually, I have sent a few letter gulls, but I don't know if I can reach the Imperial Port, so I should treat it as a double insurance." ”
"Why don't I think these two insurances are reliable?" said this, and Haigo himself laughed.
Hai Qin also laughed and said: "Don't look at Xiao Dong's usual giggling, when it really comes to the critical moment, he will stand up, this kid has been sailing with us for a while, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen? Believe me, he is a good lobbyist, as for whether he can reach the imperial port, it depends on the mood of the goddess of the sea." ”
Hego sniffed and said, "Get out of here, I can smell breakfast in the kitchen." ”
Hai Qin nodded and said, "You have to take care of the remaining sailors, the survival of the East China Sea depends on them." ”
Hai Qin and Hai Ge had just walked to the kitchen, pushed open the door, and saw Phoenix sitting at the head of his right hand, eating steamed buns and vegetable soup.
"Phoenix, why are you here?" said Hegov, who was angry at the sight of the pirate.
"What's wrong?" said Phoenix, munching on the steamed buns, "Those boys on my ship are so drunk that they can't even make breakfast, and I thought you should have them on board, so I came to eat a meal." ”
"We don't have anything to eat for pirates on our ship!" After Haige finished speaking, he deliberately looked at the guy on the ship and asked loudly, "Who allowed you to give this pirate something to eat?"
Phoenix didn't look at Haigo, he just stopped and continued to eat, looking at Haiqin with an innocent expression. Hai Qin also happened to stare at Phoenix coldly, and finally sighed and said, "It's okay, the visitor is a guest, isn't it just a breakfast." ”
Phoenix laughed when he heard this, and the steamed buns sprayed on the table with spittle, and said, "I have a big appetite, Qin, don't regret it!
"The ship doesn't miss your mouth, just don't call all the pirates on your ship when the time comes. Hai Qin then stepped back.
"How can there be an extra mouth?" Phoenix's eyes stared at Hai Qin, forcing the latter to look at him: "Are there no fewer people on your ship?"
Hai Ge was secretly frightened, could it be that Xiao Dong's departure was still discovered by this cunning old fox? Could it be that when he met the captain, he would send someone to ask for help, so he monitored the Donghai twenty-four hours a day. Heigo had to admire Phoenix's reaction, Xiao Dong had left less than two hours before the old pirate had already heard the news?
"Now we are in the middle of the East China Sea, and further north is the Emperor Sea, who dares to sail alone in the center of the Ocean Goddess?" Hai Qin asked quietly.
"Hey, hey," the old pirate laughed, and his laughter was hoarse, like the cry of a crow, "I can go wherever I want in this sea." But I am old now, and if I had been younger and stronger, I would have dared to sail from here to the Imperial Harbor in a small boat. ”
"Then you can try it now," Hai Qin sneered, "If you go ashore like this, absolutely no one will believe that you are the great immortal Phoenix." ”
"Hai Qin, don't lie to me. Phoenix tore off a large piece of steamed bun, put it in his mouth and chewed it vigorously.
"Then should I call all my sailors over and give you a count of the numbers?" Hai Qin's straightforward appearance made Hai Ge feel that Xiao Dong had not left the Donghai at all.
The atmosphere in the restaurant sank like this, Phoenix still chewed the steamed bun in his mouth slowly, and looked at Hai Qin with sharp eyes, and Hai Qin did not shy away from it, looking at Phoenix brightly.
Suddenly, Phoenix burst out laughing and said, "Why is the atmosphere so serious? Captain, you see I've left you the first place, come and sit down and eat. People, you must eat breakfast, as the saying goes, people are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. Hungry all night, be sure to eat well in the morning!"
Hai Qin walked to the first place and sat down with an expressionless face, and Hai Ge sat at the first place on his left hand. The guy quickly brought breakfast to him, along with the three buns and vegetable soup that Phoenix had just requested.
Hai Qin eats the same things as everyone else, and he doesn't open a small stove because of his identity. For the people of the sea, everyone is just the son of the goddess of the sea, everything is equal.
"Don't you check the number of people?" asked Hai Qin without flinching, expressing his dissatisfaction with the old pirate.
Phoenix laughed dryly a few times and said, "No need, I believe in you, Captain Haiqin." It's just that my body is a little weak these days, and I heard that the meat of birds on the sea is a big supplement, and I want to know if Captain Haiqin has something like seagull soup here, so I can make up for my body. ”
This is to make the Donghai cut off contact with the outside world, fortunately, before Xiao Dong set off, Hai Qin had already released the letter gull first, otherwise the double insurance would have been destroyed. Hai Qin secretly cursed the cunning of the old pirate in his heart, but he casually called the man: "Brother Li, roast the few seagulls locked up on the watchtower at night, and give our pirate captain a good patch." ”
Brother Li looked embarrassed and said, "Captain, that's all the gulls......
Phoenix did not shy away from asking: "Don't use roasted, use stewed, stew until it melts in your mouth, and the soup is fragrant." ”
Hai Qin didn't look at the old pirate, but continued to command: "Did you hear what the pirate captain said? ”
"All of them...... Captain?" Brother Li was still unsure.
"All. Hai Qin didn't nod, but just began to bury his head in dealing with the steamed buns with vegetable soup in front of him.
