Chapter 57: Carrying the Coffin
Bai Sha thought about Li Jian's affairs in his heart, and fell asleep very late. When they got up, it was already very late, and it was almost time for lunch, Zheng Zhilong and Bai Sha did not open a small stove, but ate the same meal as the crew.
The crew of each ship ate on their own boat, and the windows in the cabin were open to let in the light.
There were only so many people on the ship, and now that the fleet was docked on this island, some of the crew members were willing to spend some silver taels to settle the problem in the restaurants on the island, so generally speaking, the people who ate were always not together.
Bai Sha had something in his heart, and the food was tasteless, so he put down his chopsticks without eating a few bites, and then looked around.
Bai Sha found that Ergou didn't seem to have eaten today, this guy has always been very punctual when he eats, and it is impossible for Ergou to go to the island to eat, he has received an order not to leave this warship.
"Ergou won't be too tired to rub the treasure map, and he hasn't woken up yet." Bai Sha felt a little strange in his heart, so he called Li Qiao'er, who was sitting next to him, to call Ergou down for dinner.
Zheng Zhilong's eating is like chewing wax, and he can't raise his appetite at all.
"After eating, we will follow what you said, and hurry up to Yin Mole's hut to see if he can know a little bit about it, after all, he has lived on the island for a long time." Zheng Zhilong said.
Speaking of looking for Yin Mole, in fact, Bai Sha refused at first in his heart, but now Li Jian and Dai Zong put too much pressure on him. These two people always give people a different feeling from the Wind Thunder Hall, the things in the Wind Thunder Hall are like a storm, they come and go quickly, while Li Jian and Dai Zong give people the feeling that they are a bit like a quagmire and swamp, and it will be very troublesome if they accidentally fall into it.
Bai Sha had to be careful, he originally thought that he had obtained the book of "Martial Dao Supreme", and he thought that his realm was not low, but he was taught a lesson by the head of the Wind Thunder Hall, and the battle of the Wind Thunder Hall was victorious, in fact, there was a lot of luck.
Bai Sha said: "Yin Mole, this old guy, I didn't expect that I would come to the door in person to ask for his help, it seems that it is not possible to go to Sun Erniang's wine this time." ”
Yin Mo is a good wine person, but also a good wine person.
The two of them didn't have much interest in today's lunch, so they were about to leave, and when they went up to the deck, they saw Li Qiao'er with a pale face.
Li Qiao'er's face was full of horror, as if she had seen something terrible.
Bai Sha had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The horror in Li Qiao'er's eyes did not dissipate, but stood stiffly in place, and pointed to Ergou's room with stiff fingers.
Bai Sha bypassed Li Qiao'er in front of him and hurriedly ran to Ergou's room.
Bai Sha knew that something must have happened, his heart beat unconsciously faster, and his breathing became short.
The door of Ergou's room was not closed, and after approaching, Bai Sha felt a lifeless smell.
Everything in the room was neatly arranged, and Ergou was lying on the bed with his eyes open, and the remaining blood stains on the corners of his mouth had dried up.
Bai Sha hurriedly sat on the side of Ergou's bed, pressing his fingers on the other party's neck, and Ergou had already lost signs of life. In his hand, he held a treasure map that had been rubbed and clutched it.
Bai Sha didn't expect this to happen suddenly, and his eyes were instantly bloodshot.
Zheng Zhilong, who followed behind, also saw the scene in the house and stayed in place.
Bai Sha vaguely remembered that Ergou ran to his house bizarrely last night, saying that his eyelids were jumping, and he was very uneasy, he thought it was a bad omen, thinking that he and Zheng Zhilong's actions would encounter difficulties at night, but he didn't expect this bad omen to be verified in Ergou.
Bai Sha closed Ergou's eyes that refused to close, then held Ergou's cold hand with both hands, and waited until Ergou's cold and stiff hands were soft, and then took out the treasure map that Ergou was holding in his hand.
After Li Qiaoer came to her senses, she entered the room and closed the door, but she still didn't dare to look at the second dog lying on the bed.
Ergou did not forget the task given to him by the first mate, and he completed the rubbing of the treasure map, as if the mission was completed.
None of the real or false treasure maps in the room were lost, and all of them were held by Bai Sha in his hand.
Bai Sha's heart was extremely uncomfortable, his breathing began to grow thick, and the hand holding the treasure map trembled slightly.
"Bang!"
The rubbing platform was split by Bai Sha with a palm, and it was immediately divided into two halves. After venting, Bai Sha took a deep breath, turned around and said calmly to Ergou: "This revenge, the first mate must avenge you!" ”
Ergou was originally an ordinary crew member.
Ergou was found by Baisha to carry out the work of rubbing, and he didn't know what his rubbing map was until he died, but he only knew that he resolutely completed the task arranged by the first mate, and now, his task was completed.
Zheng Zhilong did not comfort Bai Sha, who was in a sad mood, because the flame of revenge in his heart was also burning.
Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong now understand that their whereabouts last night have been discovered, and there is no one else who can do this except the old man Dai Zong, and the retreat of the two does not mean the end of this matter.
Bai Sha pulled out the dagger and said to himself: "If you have to provoke me three times or twice, you have to play me to death, this time I will play with you to the end as you wish, and I will never die!" ”
Bai Sha put away the dagger, took one last look at Ergou, and strode away.
Zheng Zhilong grabbed Bai Sha's wrist, "I'm with you." ”
Bai Sha said slowly: "Don't worry, the bones of the second dog are not cold, let him be buried first...... I'm not going to fight hard, don't worry. ”
Zheng Zhilong threw away Bai Sha's hand and let him go.
After a while, each ship received the most urgent order, and immediately summoned the most elite crew members to gather, and the leading big brother of each ship all gathered in Baisha and Zheng Zhilong's warships.
————
In the direction of the island, several crew members had already bought the coffin back and sent it to the warship.
Bai Sha personally put the body of the second dog into the coffin and settled it, and then closed the coffin board.
"Da Biao, Du Ju, Qiu Tian, and Xia are out of the queue to carry the coffin for Ergou and see them off!" Bai Sha said word by word.
There were no superfluous ceremonies, and there were no money papers scattered all over the sky, and the more than 200 elite crew members who were summoned all followed behind to see off Ergou, while Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong led the way on the left and right.
Most of the people on the island saw the movement on the shore and didn't know what the fleet was trying to do, until the coffin appeared in front of them. In the face of such a strong team, no one dared to wander the streets, huddled on both sides and whispered.
More than 200 people left the fleet and headed towards the island, and the leader Bai Sha did not stop when he passed the small shop where Li Jian lived, but the fierce light in his eyes even the passers-by on both sides could not dodge.
Bai Sha wants to bury Ergou behind the island, next to the grave of the brother who died in the First World War in Fengleitang.
The crowd came to the opposite side of the island, and Bai Sha personally dug the grave for Ergou, and then said: "I buried you with my own hands." With other brothers to accompany you, I hope you are no longer alone. There is a debtor who has been wronged, and your revenge can be avenged, and the creditor is still alive. Li Jian! Dai Zong! ”
All the brothers took turns carrying the soil, each with a handful of soil, and it didn't take long for a small mountain bag to appear.
The two dogs are in the ground, the new grave is not ancient, and the new grave rises again.
Two jars of Sun Erniang's wine, one altar to commemorate the innocent two dogs who were killed, and one altar to prepare for Yin Mole.
The crew took turns to worship Ergou, and Bai Sha walked to the thatched hut not far away with a jar of wine, he thought very clearly, he wanted to ask Yin Mole to deal with Dai Zong, not to mention joining the fleet, Bai Sha would agree to any conditions.
Bai Sha walked very heavily, and when he came to the front of the hut, he said loudly: "Bai Sha asks to see Yin Mole's senior!" ”
There was no movement in the room, as if no one was there.
Bai Sha could hear it clearly, and there was obviously a slight snoring sound coming from inside the house.
"If the seniors are willing to help, Baisha promises that you can join our fleet." Bai Sha was not reconciled and continued to speak.
The snoring inside the house was not interrupted by Bai Sha's shouting.
With so many people and such a big movement, even the most sleepy people should be woken up, but the snoring in the room was still there. Obviously, the sloppy old man pretended not to hear Bai Sha's words and fell asleep.
Yin Mole didn't see Baisha at all, and Baisha didn't even have a chance to say what to do with it. If this kind of thing were placed in normal times, Bai Sha would definitely use the radical method with a dead face, or directly break into Yin Mole's room, but now he didn't want to do it, he didn't know who was more powerful Yin Mole or Dai Zong, there were already a lot of people involved, so simply one less implicated was counted as one.
Bai Sha gently placed the wine jar at the door of the hut, and turned away without saying a word.
Zheng Zhilong saw Bai Sha eating the closed door soup from a distance, and probably knew that Yin Mo would not help, so he said: "You can arrange the next thing." ”
Bai Sha waved his big hand, and instantly quieted down.
"Some of you know Ergou, some of you may not know, but it doesn't matter. The second dog was killed, on the ship I was on, and I didn't even notice it...... Someone has repeatedly provoked us, his name is Li Jian, you tell me what to do? ”
"Kill Li Jian and avenge Ergou!" The voices of the crew are unified, shocking the sky!
Zheng Zhilong took a step forward and said: "To tell you the truth, there is a master by Li Jian's side, maybe Bai Sha and I are not his opponents together, so we need crowd tactics and everyone's help, once this trip goes, life and death are unpredictable." If there are still crew members who want to quit, they can leave without any responsibility. ”
The crew did not say anything.
"Damn it, no one is allowed to leave! Today, I will take the lead, and I must kill Li Jian! Bai Sha said loudly.
"Kill Jian Li!" The crew members were furious and swore to follow the White Sands operation.
Two hundred crew members plus the top forces led by Bai Sha and Zheng Zhilong, even if Dai Zong has three heads and six arms, he can't defeat so many people, and the reason why Bai Sha buried the two dogs openly is actually planned in his heart.
Bai Sha wanted to let the other party know that such a huge fleet of ships docked on the shore was not for posturing, and his strength was beyond imagination.
The change in quantity leads to a change in quality, no matter how high Dai Zong is, it is not as high as two hundred crew members!
There is no evidence to prove that the second dog was killed by Dai Zong, but if you still have to pay attention to evidence now, Baisha will not be that Baisha, and he would rather kill the wrong one than let it go, besides, Baisha knows that he will not kill the wrong one, Li Jian and Dai Zong must die.
Today's island is not destined to be peaceful.
