readx; The night at sea is always accompanied by the sea breeze, if it is the height of summer, it will definitely make people feel comfortable, but now is the end of the year, it is the cold winter, even if there is no snow on the sea, but it does not mean that the weather is not cold.

So a hapless ghost who had been hanging overboard the ship and had been awake for a long time, his body was tied like a rice dumpling, and his mouth was still stuffed with a cloth ball that he didn't know what it was used for, and his eyes were full of horror and swayed with the blowing of the sea breeze, and he shivered, as if he would fall into the cold sea water that looked like black ink at this moment.

He just wanted the rope to tie him a little tighter, and the knot to tie it tighter, so that he wouldn't fall. Previously, he had seen a person thrown into the sea by the bandits by a big fish with a sharp mouth and dragged into the deep water, leaving only a touch of blood red, and after a while, this blood color also disappeared without a trace, that person seemed to never exist, obviously, a moment ago they were still together sneering at each other, sneering at each other, stumbling with each other.

That memory was by no means good for him, but at the same time, he also understood a truth, in this boat, there is nowhere to argue, nothing is important to be alive, because they really have nothing but this life.

The man who was eaten by the fish was thrown into the sea just because he offended a bandit because he said a complaining word, and there was no one to help, and the bandits were still betting on how long he could hold out before being eaten by the man, and the big fish that the bandits called the shark dragged away, but none of the bandits won, because the man was thrown into the sea before he could say a whole word and was dragged away by the big fish.

He regretted it very much, why did he play tricks on that young man during the day because of his whims, but is it useful to regret it now? No, no, it works! The fact that the young man's accomplices did not throw him into the sea shows that there is room for remediation!

He got excited, as long as he didn't throw him into the sea, let him do anything!

Suddenly, he felt someone lifting the rope that was hanging from him, but after only four or five strokes, he was lifted onto the deck, and was mercilessly thrown on the deck with a muffled "bang".

He didn't care that his body was still tied, and his mouth was still stuffed with cloth, he arched his body and knelt on the ground without looking at whether there was anyone in front of him, and he kowtowed repeatedly, and his head made a "knock" sound when it came into contact with the wooden deck, which showed how hard he knocked hard.

"If you don't want to die, stop your death-seeking." The young man's clear and cold voice sounded behind him, startling him, and also reminded him that this was on the boat of the bandits, and if the movement was too big to attract the bandits, it would be over. So he knelt up dizzily, turned awkwardly, faced the young man, and frequently bowed his waist to beg for mercy.

Qi Jin looked at the person in front of him who was groveling and had no dignity at all, once upon a time, he was like this, but he was different from him in that he didn't dare to die early because he won or lost, he was to live, if he hadn't met Zhuang Hua, I'm afraid that living would really be no fun for him. Qi Jin's visitive gaze made the person kneeling on the ground break out in a cold sweat, and it wasn't until he was about to tremble that Qi Jin said the second sentence: "Do one thing for me, and after you get off the boat, I will give you a people's household registration, five hundred gold, and one hundred acres of fertile land." ”

Maybe Qi Jin's words were too straightforward for him to react, or this reward was too surprising and made him stunned, in short, in Qi Jin's eyes, the person kneeling in front of him widened his slender slits, and knelt motionless on the stake like a wooden stake, looking ridiculous.

Qi Jin was not in a hurry for his answer, and waited patiently for his reaction.

After some time, a cool breeze blew, and the man nodded vigorously, his eyes full of surprise. Qi Jin's conditions were too tempting for her, just the people's membership was enough to make him work hard for it, not to mention that there were such generous additional conditions! Once a confused person grasps the slightest ray of hope, he will hold on to it, even if he dies, he will not let go.

Seeing him nodding, Qi Jin walked over and pulled out the dagger pinned to his boots, cutting the rope on his body, "What's your name?" ”

"The little one's name is Gou, and the son can call it whatever he wants." Hook got rid of the rope and threw the cloth ball in his mouth, knelt down again in front of him and said respectfully.

Qi Jin put away the dagger and glanced at him with a cold gaze, "Do you know why I chose you?" ”

Hook said: "The little one doesn't dare to speculate on the meaning of the child." ”

Qi Jin hooked the corners of his lips, "Because you are clever, because you are timid, because you are a villain." Remember? ”

Gou immediately understood, "The little one understands, the little one understands." ”

A clever and timid villain, no matter what kind of person this hook is, Qi Jin said that he must be like this, and this is very similar to Gou's nature, and it is not difficult to pretend. The only difference is that he is timid, he plays tricks under the eyes of the bandits, and dares to agree to Qi Jin's dispatch so simply, he doesn't look like a timid person. Regretting one's life is not the same as being timid, and a timid person may not be afraid of death.

Qi Jin is not afraid that he will fight against the water, without Qi Jin's use, he is penniless, if he wants to win the favor of the water bandits by betraying Qi Jin, it will be ridiculous, a person who will betray the former master for his own interests will trust him, and besides, the water bandits will not give him more promises than Qi Jin, and more importantly, if he does not agree, I am afraid that Qi Jin will immediately throw him into the sea.

As for whether Qi Jin will fulfill today's promise, this is not enough to consider is that the little people have their own set of opinions of the little people, Qi Jin said "after getting off the ship", then it means that there will be an accident on this ship, and I expect the bandits to protect their captives and dream! It's better to surrender to the opponent of the water bandits early in the morning, whether you win or lose, at least that's what you want, the things that Qi Jin promised are not the final result for Gou, but a fuse that ignites the fire in his heart that wants to rebel against the status quo.

Qi Jin knew that he had found the right person, and waved his hand: "Get up." Then he asked, "How much do you know about this ship?" ”

Hooked up and replied: "I have never entered the shipbuilding above, and the corners and corners of this boat are all clear." There was no lack of ostentation in his flattering tone, he was one of the first waves of captives, his original master was killed by the bandits when he resisted, and there were only a few servants left with him, he was the highest ranking of the remainders, he would come and see things, and the bandits were very satisfied with him, so he had far more places to go than others.

Qi Jin's eyes flashed with a different color, he just asked casually but didn't expect to have such a gain, so he took out a silk silk and a carbon strip from his arms, handed it to Gou, and said, "Draw everything you know, try to be as detailed." ”

Drawing with carbon strips has been used, Qi Jin blended into the captives with the help of the captured subordinates under Yueqiu today, the first thing was to draw the composition of the ship, so he carried tools with him, since Gou knew the details of the ship, Qi Jin gave him this task, the so-called use of people is not suspicious of suspicion, since Qi Jin has decided to use Hook to do things, he will be trusted.

Gou hurriedly took the things handed over by Qi Jin, and promised repeatedly: "The little one will give Gongzi a detailed picture early tomorrow morning." ”

Qi Jin nodded, and handed a wax pill the size of a thumb nail to hook, and said: "There is a chance to hand this wax pill to a thin man on the ship, wearing gloves on his left hand, and short hair with ear-length ears, I don't know where he is, so I need you to find it, if you can't hand it out at sunset tomorrow, you will destroy it and throw it into the sea, do you remember it?" ”

Tick the words and remember what Qi Jin said firmly, nodded and replied: "The little one remembers, the little one can rest assured!" ”

Qi Jin didn't explain anything, turned around and walked into the darkness, disappeared, but Gou stayed in place for a while before leaving, and when he went back to the bilge, he also met two water bandits who were patrolling the night.

Compared to the silence in the bilge and deck, the richly decorated room at the end of the second floor of the ship's building was filled with singing and dancing.

The beauties sing and drink together, and the lights are like brocade to accompany the king's sleep.

Zhuang Hua looked drunkenly at the beauties dancing in the court, the gold bottle in his hand shook slightly, and the wine was sprinkled on the moon-white robe, blurring a small watermark.

"Zhuang Hua, you're drunk." Yue Qiu frowned slightly, and took the gold wine bottle from Zhuang Hua's hand.

"It's fine." Zhuang Hua pronounced the words clearly, his eyes returned to clarity, looked back at Yueqiu, and reached for the wine bottle that Yueqiu had taken.

Yueqiu's hand withdrew to the side, and Zhuang Hua grabbed the air, but in a blink of an eye, Yueqiu's military dignity was held by Zhuang Hua, and he poured the wine and drank it. The slightly cool wine with mint fragrance entered the stomach, Zhuang Hua felt that his body was much lighter, and he didn't know how many times he praised it: "Good wine!" ”

Tianyang's hearty laughter came, and said: "Zhuang Hua, as long as you enter my Jinmiao Island, you can drink this wine at any time, what, think about it?" ”

Zhuang Hua looked in the direction of Tianyang, and saw that only one sleeve of Tianyang's upper body was left on his body, and several delicate-looking women next to him were still teasingly pulling the precarious clothes, Zhuang Hua shook his head, "Don't think about it." ”

"Why? Could it be that Zhuang Hua looks down on me? Tianyang said unhappily.

Zhuang Hua sideways dodged Yueqiu's hand to snatch her wine bottle, the narrative alcohol reaction was much slower and did not dodge, the wine bottle was still taken away by Yueqiu, Zhuang Huazhi was helpless, picked up the wine jug on the table, poured wine directly into his mouth, heard Tianyang's question, held the wine jug in his arms to prevent Yueqiu from snatching it again, and replied unconcernedly: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, who can afford whom, and who looks down on whom." The children of the family sprout the shadow of their ancestors, don't they know that their ancestors also rely on their own abilities to strive for the glory of future generations, you are his past, he is your future. ”

After Zhuang Hua finished speaking, he went to drink again, not noticing that when Yueqiu and Tianyang finished saying this, the eyes that looked at her became deep and hot.
