Early the next morning, before He Cheng woke up, he heard a noisy sound outside, He Cheng got up and moved his body, although it was still a little sour, but compared to last night, He Cheng was almost better.

He Cheng looked at the clothes next to the bed, it was He Siliu who brought it over last night, it looked a little smaller, He Cheng reluctantly put himself in, pushed open the door and walked out.

A group of people outside were noisy and shouting, and no one noticed He Cheng coming over, and after getting closer, He Cheng noticed that there was a person tied to the deck, because there were more than a dozen people around, He Cheng didn't see who was tied up, the dozen or so people spoke Hokkien, you said a word, He Cheng couldn't understand what they said, look at their expressions, listen to their tone, obviously very excited, He Cheng leaned on the railing behind the crowd, and stood there with the mentality of watching a play.

But the more He Cheng looked at the person who was tied, the more familiar he felt, and after a closer look, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this is not Old Xiong, He Cheng hurriedly ran over and said and asked them what the situation was.

"He's a pirate, he must be thrown overboard, or our ship won't be able to go any further." It was a black and thin man who was not tall when he spoke, and it could be seen that he was the head of these people, and his Mandarin was very non-standard.

Coincidentally, the boss of this ship was in Hainan when he did aquatic work, and also ran a boat in the South China Sea, and when they were rescued, he felt that the old man looked a little familiar, and he didn't think about it at the time, but the more he thought about it at night, the more sober his head became, this old man was not a famous pirate leader in the South China Sea, and his goods were intercepted at the beginning.

The more the ship boss thought about it, the more he felt that Xiong Lao looked like the pirate leader, so he sent all the people under his command to tie up Xiong Lao, who was still sleeping, early in the morning, almost effortlessly, he originally wanted to interrogate him well, but Xiong Lao confessed to his past.

He regret said next to him that they can't do this, it's illegal or something, but the black and thin little man who talked to him before didn't bird him at all, he has been the boss of the ship for many years, killing people at sea is almost a headless injustice, he doesn't care about the law, He regret remembered that He Siliu slept so late last night, and he may not have gotten up yet, he can't take care of this matter himself, and he must call He Siliu immediately.

When He Cheng and He Siliu rushed over together, Zu Lan and a tall and strong man had already started to negotiate with the ship boss on the deck.

"Uncle He, your friend is not small, many countries in Southeast Asia are still wanted for him, listening to the ship's boss's meaning, he and your friend seem to have a bit of a holiday, you see what to do." Zu Lan saw that He Siliu was coming, and said with a cold face, she was still complaining that He Siliu didn't have a good attitude towards her when she saved He Cheng yesterday, women have always been grudge animals.

"Xiaolan, I apologize to you for my uncle's bad attitude last night, Xiong Lao is my friend, and he is also a member of my He family, I don't care what he has done before, and now he calls me 'Sixth Master', I can't ignore him, besides, it's all about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, Xiong Lao is now almost seventy years old, let's just get over this matter, anyway, Xiong Lao is tied up, what do you think?" He Siliu said hello to Zu Lan, and saw that the black and thin boat boss was really staring at him with a pair of big eyes, he hurriedly said with a smile, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his body and stuffed them into the boat boss's hand.

"This friend, it's not that I can't help, this really can't be counted like this, even if he wasn't a pirate before, we have to throw him into the sea." The boat boss stretched out his hand, and hurriedly stuffed the cigarette back into He Siliu's hand, and said seriously.

"What do you mean by that? What does it mean that even if he wasn't a pirate before, he would throw himself into the sea and not give face, right? He Siliu's face sank when he heard what the boat boss said, and he did not hide his murderous aura.

The boss of the boat was also frightened by He Siliu's sudden change of momentum and took two steps back, but after all, he was also an old man, so he hurriedly calmed down and said fiercely: "It's not that I don't give face, he has ghosts on him, and the unjust spirits in the sea will come to him to ask for his life." ”

He Siliu and He Cheng both trembled in their hearts, they didn't tell Zu Lan about getting on the ghost ship before, how did the boat boss know, He Siliu and He Cheng looked at the boat boss with a strange look.

"Don't sell it, it's a matter of human life, you can say anything." It was the tall and strong middle-aged man who had been standing next to Zu Lan who spoke, and his voice gave people a sense of oppression, and listening to him, the boat boss also felt a little scared.

"Let's take a step to talk," the boat boss said deliberately in a low voice, and then led a few people to the side, and after seeing He Siliu's skeptical expression, he said, "Don't worry, without me, your friend will be fine." ”

He Siliu came with him, but his eyes glanced at the place where Xiong Lao was staying from time to time.

"Guys, have you ever heard of sea monkeys?" As the boat boss spoke, he mysteriously looked around at the expressions of several people, and then continued: "I watched your friend slaughter a couple with my own eyes, and he even skinned it at that time. ”

The ship's shoulders fluttered as he said this, as if he had thought of something terrifying.

"I've heard about sea monkeys." Looking at the blank expressions of several people, Zu Lan's face was not very good.

These things are also seen by Zu Lan in some folk miscellaneous records, the height of the sea monkey is about 60 cm to 1 meter tall, the weight is only about 45 kg, it belongs to the thin body type, it looks like a child between 3 and 10 years old, looks like a human and an ape. It has a foul smell and mucus that is not easy to catch, and in some places it is said that the sea monkeys are covered in hair. Legend has it that he was transformed by the unjust spirits in the sea and specially dragged people into the water.

There is a terrible legend about this thing, according to legend, there is an old couple in the fishing village who picked up a boy with black hair on the beach, the old couple had no children, they were very happy at the time, and just hugged back to the village, the old village chief of the village saw it and let them throw it away, saying that the child was a sea monkey, and it was made of resentment in the sea, and the old couple was also a little scared when they were said, and they were going to throw it away when they took it to the beach, but when they saw that it was a sleeping child, what could they have, and they brought it back home, The next day, the villagers found the bodies of the old couple at the door, both of them had their internal organs hollowed out, and their deaths were very horrific and horrific.

The old village chief hurriedly asked the Taoist monk to be a mage for a few days, and the matter was over.
