Chapter 44: The Sloppy Old Man

Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong's fleet broke into the wind and thunder hall at night, and this matter soon spread on the island.

All the forces on the island did not fight because of the final victory of Baisha and his party, but they all hid far away, and even the inn where they stayed was not very willing to continue to entertain Baisha and his party. However, it happened that Bai Sha did not continue to plan to stay at the inn, so Zheng Zhilong also arranged for the crew to take Bai Sha to live on the warship.

Baisha, who was unable to move, had to be carried away on a stretcher, and the group carried Baisha out in public, which was a bit of a swagger.

On the night of the auction, Bai Sha spent five hundred taels of silver, and a kitten snatched was in Bai Sha's arms at the moment, and the kitten was very affectionate to Bai Sha, but Bai Sha could detect that the kitten was mainly very affectionate to the red stones on his body.

Bai Sha, who was lying on the stretcher, met the departing Feng Lei Tang head C and his men on the shore.

After the two sides glanced at each other, they did not have anything to do with each other and left.

Bai Sha pinched the ears of the kitten in his arms, and thought about where the person in charge of the party was going.

Bai Sha was carried to the warship, and Li Qiaoer moved a deck chair on the deck for Bai Sha to lie down and bask in the sun.

In Zheng Zhilong's heart, the most important thing now is Bai Sha's injury to recover quickly, which is related to the increase or decrease of the strength of the entire fleet.

With Zheng Zhilong and Li Qiao'er as his company, Bai Sha didn't feel so bored, remembering the head of the Wind Thunder Hall who he met before, Bai Sha said slowly: "Where did you say that the head of the Wind Thunder Hall boarded the ship and left?" ”

Zheng Zhilong thought for a while and said, "Presumably, it must be to go back to Luzon to report what happened here." ”

"When my injuries are almost healed, then we should also leave for Luzon again, I am curious about what kind of person Li Dan is, and what we do on the island, will he care about us?" Bai Sha said.

Zheng Zhilong shook his head, none of them had really seen Li Dan, and no one knew what kind of person she was.

Li Qiao'er on the side fed a grape to the innermost part of Baisha, and Baisha looked at Li Qiao'er and said: "I think of one thing, when you were present during the selection of the crew, you went to find the crew who knew how to rubbing, moved to live on our warship, and then instructed the other crew members to purchase the tools needed for rubbing." ”

In the past two days, Li Qiaoer has also heard a lot of secrets, and she can be regarded as the core personnel of this fleet. She knew that Bai Sha was going to rub the treasure map, so she didn't ask much at the moment, and left to find the crew member who could rub it.

Li Qiao'er left, and Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong were left on the deck.

Bai Sha said to Zheng Zhilong: "It will take a few days for my injuries to recover, you must have a bottom in your heart." ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded.

At this time, a crew member came to report, saying that the owner of the inn auction had come to collect the money.

Bai Sha was stunned for a moment, and almost forgot about this matter, it seems that the five hundred taels of the auction kitten will be given away today.

Since the kitten was successfully photographed, it was natural to pay the money, Bai Sha naturally would not repay the debt, and immediately ordered the crew to invite the other party on board to negotiate, ready to pay the other party's silver taels.

After a short time, the middle-aged man who had finished the auction came to the ship with a sloppy old man.

The middle-aged man who boarded the ship looked very restrained, no longer in the lively state of last night, but the sloppy old man was still as sloppy as ever.

Bai Sha knew this sloppy old man, the reason why this kitten was able to get a sky-high price of five hundred taels of silver after auction was caused by this sloppy old man's continuous price increase, and Bai Sha was very impressed by him.

Seeing this person, Bai Sha was angry in his heart and said, "Old man, what are you doing here." ”

The sloppy old man looked at Bai Sha and squinted and smiled, but he didn't speak.

The deeds of Bai Sha and his party have spread all over the island, and the middle-aged man at the auction has naturally heard of it, and in the face of this kind of character, he looked a little nervous, and said after carefully wording: "This adult, the one next to me is the seller of this kitten." ”

"Huh?"

After Bai Sha heard about it, he was even more angry, this is more hateful than malicious price increases, when sellers can also participate in the auction, and constantly raise prices.

The middle-aged man jumped under the appearance of Bai Sha, and the other party trembled and didn't dare to speak.

The sloppy old man took a step forward and said with a smile: "Little brother, at the auction, it is all about strength, as the so-called Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai and is willing to fight and suffer." ”

Bai Sha looked at the sloppy old man and said, "You old man is so treacherous. ”

The sloppy old man was not angry, but said: "If you regret it now, it's too late, it's a big deal that I don't want to bring the kitten back with money, and the trade will not be benevolent." ”

The sloppy old man's words are good, but Bai Sha doesn't know what the other party has in his heart, and finally raised the price of the kitten to such a high price, but now he is willing not to take back the silver, no profit can not be early, there must be fraud in this.

Bai Sha looked at the old man and didn't speak, but the middle-aged man at the auction on the side was a little anxious, he could earn a lot of commissions in five hundred taels of silver, if according to what the sloppy old man said, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water, but in the face of Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong, the middle-aged man didn't dare to put forward any opinions, so he could only stand aside and be anxious, praying that Bai Sha would not agree.

"I like this kitten very much, the deal has been completed, five hundred taels of silver is nothing, I will pay you." Bai Sha said.

The middle-aged man at the auction was obviously relieved, thinking that it was really a false alarm.

The sloppy old man smiled slyly and said to Bai Sha: "Five hundred taels is not the first small amount, it's a pity to buy such a sick kitten, don't you say?" ”

As soon as the sloppy old man's words fell, the kitten in Bai Sha's arms came out and yelled at the old man.

"The little brute with no heart and lungs has only known each other for a day." The sloppy old man couldn't help but scold.

Bai Sha looked at the kitten in his arms, was amused by the kitten's actions, and couldn't help but touch its little head, and the kitten quickly licked Bai Sha's palm flatteringly, becoming very docile. This scruffy old man's angry teeth itch.

Bai Sha stopped caring about the kitten, and said to the sloppy old man: "No matter what your purpose is, but you have also seen it, this kitten seems to be closer to me, so you take the money and leave immediately." With that, he told the crew to go and get the money.

The sloppy old man looked at Bai Sha, who was not fooled, and hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, can you really discuss it again?" ”

The middle-aged man in the auction house in the back looked at the sloppy old man with a very dissatisfied expression, why did he always get along with money?

Bai Sha shook his head and signaled that this matter was non-negotiable.

The sloppy old man changed his conditions and continued: "Look at me, you lonely old man, no matter how much money you give me, I won't be able to keep it, if I don't have the money, I won't starve to death on this small island." I don't charge you a penny for this kitten, but you have to pay a commission to the owner of the auction. ”

Bai Sha knew that what the sloppy old man said about starving to death on the island was simply nonsense, but it was possible to discuss without charging a penny, Bai Sha motioned to the other party to continue.

The sloppy old man rubbed his hands together and said, "You can defeat the Wind Thunder Hall, which means that you are strong, if I can live in this fleet for a long time, wouldn't I have a strong backer." As long as you allow me to join the fleet, this kitten will be for nothing. ”

The sloppy old man did not shy away from the name of Fengleitang, and began to talk exaggeratedly, which made others tremble.

Bai Sha felt that this old man was more and more interesting, he knew that the sloppy old man was not a simple character, and the eyes of the two had a brief intersection on the night of the auction, and the old man's eyes were not as sloppy as his outfit, but there was light in his eyes.

The sloppy old man put forward his own conditions, and if he joined the fleet, he could give a cat for free.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

Joining the fleet seems to be a sentence from Bai Sha or Zheng Zhilong, but at this sensitive season, Bai Sha can't believe anyone outside the fleet, not to mention the sloppy old man who gave up real money just to be able to join the fleet, the value between the two is too different, obviously there is ulterior motives on board.

Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong's fleet is not an ordinary transaction, there are important things on board, and at this critical juncture, someone offered to join the fleet, which has to make people doubt his motives.

Bai Sha refused the other party's request and motioned to the crew to quickly take out the silver taels.

The crew went down to the cabin and in a short time retrieved five bags, each containing a hundred taels of silver, just enough to count.

The middle-aged man at the auction hurriedly bent down and turned out five bags of silver, took out his own fifty taels of silver, and handed them all to the sloppy old man.

The sloppy old man took the silver, weighed it, and took the fifty taels of silver that were left in one of the bags. Then the remaining four bags were thrown to the crew, somehow meaning.

Bai Sha frowned and said, "After this village, there will be no such shop, you are sure that you don't want the remaining silver, I didn't promise you to join the fleet!" ”

The sloppy old man lost his previous smile, and he didn't reply to Bai Sha's words in a dead voice, so he snorted coldly and ignored the auction owner on the side, and got off the boat alone.

Seeing the sloppy old man leaving, it was not good for the middle-aged man in the auction house to continue to stay longer, so he hugged his fists and left after a few polite words.

Bai Sha looked at the sloppy old man's strange performance, and couldn't think of a reason in his heart, whether he had taken a fancy to something in this fleet or something else. If you want to treat this fleet as a big tree to enjoy the shade, it is not true, because everyone on the island knows that this fleet has provoked Li Dan, and it is already a mud bodhisattva who can not protect himself when he crosses the river.

Bai Sha had already made up his mind in his heart that he would wait for his injuries to heal before meeting this sloppy old man for a while, Bai Sha had to figure out all the uncertain factors and act carefully.

Zheng Zhilong, who was on the side, did not express an opinion since the two of them boarded the ship, and said slowly at this time: "How many people do you say that there is a treasure map on our ship?" Could this old man be one of them? ”

Bai Sha shook his head and said: "Even the Wind Thunder Hall doesn't know about this matter, and not too many people will know about it, otherwise the forces on the island would have already done it to us, but I can't see through this sloppy old man, I don't know what his real purpose is." ”

Bai Sha touched the kitten in his arms, and now the only one who has anything to do with the sloppy old man is this kitten.
