Chapter 40: Running Away at Night (1st Update)
Pirates are very different from the pirates that Zhao Min once exterminated, pirates make a living by plundering passing merchant ships at sea, and the repression of perennial drifting at sea has created their fierce and bloodthirsty habits; Compared with the pirates exterminated by Zhao Min, they can only be called 'coastal thieves', because the pirates are no different from the thieves who block the road and rob each other, it is nothing more than relying on the stronger mobility and transportation capacity of some sea ships, and it is mainly a means for Cheng Biyang to do something disgraceful, in general, it is nothing more than a collection of homeless people and fishermen, which is not the same as the murderous and bloodthirsty pirates.

But even pirates can't stay on the sea forever, they still have to have a place to stay, so one or several fixed pirate dens are particularly necessary. Judging from the size of this lair, it should be a village of thousands of people, with many pirate lairs. Medium-sized is not small.
Zhao Min leaned against the mountain wall and looked at the pirate village in front of him, his purpose was to go to the dock, it stands to reason that there must be a road to the dock, and now the central road is reflected by the lights on both sides, and what is even more excessive is that there are patrols with torches patrolling back and forth from time to time on the road! It seems that it is impossible to slip directly along the road. The pirate village is flanked by dense woods, and the only way to avoid alerting pirates is to go around the woods. Zhao Min hesitated, casually chose a side, and quietly touched into the woods under the cover of night.
The trees in the forest were dense, the leaves on the ground were falling, and the roots were entangled, and Zhao Min stumbled. I barely walked in the same direction as the road in my impression, and after I was almost out of the village, I thought that I should be able to avoid the patrol by turning back to the village. When I stepped out of the woods and looked out, it was the outer edge of the village, but where was the trace of the road? Zhao Min couldn't see the shape of the village for a while, could it be that the road didn't cross the entire village? No way, then continue to detour along the outer circle!
After walking through the forest for a while, Zhao Min was dumbfounded when he turned back again: now there is no trace of the pirate village outside the woods! Did you get it in the wrong direction? Or is the Pirate Village not as big as it seems? Zhao Min searched again, but found nothing. Zhao Min sighed, choosing to advance in such a harsh terrain under such a poor line of sight was a thankless task. As far as the eye can see, there are mountain walls all around, except for the trees. Mountain walls? That's right! Why don't you climb up the mountain? As the saying goes, stand tall and urinate ...... Well, it's a long way to see from afar, and although the mountains here don't look very high, at least it shouldn't be difficult to overlook the entire island, right? Zhao Min patted his head, turned around and ran towards the mountain wall.
The mountain on this side of the woods was not too steep, and the height was only a dozen feet, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to climb to the top. Looking into the distance, you can see the situation below the mountain at a glance. It turns out that the whole island is in an irregular "L" shape, and the area is about hundreds of acres, and the pirate village is located at the top of the "L" vertical, and the dock is in the depression of the "L" turn, and he is now actually in the middle of the village and the dock!
Looking at the rugged mountain top, and then at the complicated and difficult road under the mountain, Zhao Min sighed, let's climb slowly from the mountain! It's hard to walk, but at least you won't get lost; If you can't find the direction down the mountain, you have to climb the mountain again in the end to make it hurt!
In fact, the mountain road is not as difficult as imagined, it was difficult to walk in the forest because of the lack of vision, but now there is no obstacle on the top of the mountain, and it is no problem to see the road under your feet by the starlight in the sky. After a short walk, it was only a mile away from the dock, and Zhao Min breathed a sigh of relief. However, it was no longer possible to walk along the mountain, because the mountain had come to an end. Zhao Min slid down the hill, and his feet became a gravel terrain unique to the offshore, and the lighthouse on the pier indicating the direction was already in sight. All you have to do is go to the dock and find a hidden place near the wooden house you saw when you disembark, and the body that has been tired for half the night seems to have regained some strength, and its steps are noticeably lighter.
However, things will not be smooth sailing after all, and when they are less than two hundred steps away from the dock, a few lights suddenly turn from the direction of the dock, and it is the pirate patrol! Zhao Min secretly screamed that it was not good, the current position was very embarrassing, just in the middle of the foot of the mountain and the wharf, and the surrounding area was empty, and there was no place to hide if he wanted to! At this time, what else can be done is to turn back to the cliff to dodge, and wait for the patrol to leave!
Zhao Min turned around and left, but he turned too quickly, stumbling garlic under his feet, and "plopped" and fell into a dog eating! The sound of the fall to the ground was not loud, but it could be heard far away in the silent night sky. I only heard a broken shout from behind me: "Who is it!" Who's there! Zhao Min was so frightened that he scolded himself: This is the second time! I didn't care about the gravel on my body, and I didn't dare to turn my head back, so I got up and ran. Then a voice came from behind him again: "Stop, don't run!" Otherwise, you won't be killed! Where was Zhao Min willing to listen, he only took a more hurried step.
If it is discovered by the patrol, it will definitely alarm the pirates in the village, and it will definitely not work in the direction of the pirate village. Zhao Min had no choice but to run along the beach to the left, hearing the shouting and scolding chasing behind him, and his heart was bitter: Why am I so unlucky!
There is nothing on the beach except gravel, Zhao Min's feet are non-stop, and his brain center is turning rapidly, now he must find a complex terrain to dodge, so that it is possible to avoid the pursuers, after all, the patrol team is only three or five people, and it is impossible to divide many people to search for it. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a blurry black shadow in the distance, Zhao Min was overjoyed, and immediately rushed over there.
When I got closer, I found that it was a detached, dilapidated courtyard, which seemed to be uninhabited, and although the gate was closed, the wall was only symbolically surrounded by a few horizontal logs, and there were holes everywhere, through which you could see that there were about four or five wings in the courtyard. Zhao Min didn't think much about it, so he found a hole and got in.
At this time, the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, and the "Stop!" came from "Stop!" "Don't run!" The sound is also clearly audible. Zhao Min was about to find a place to hide, when suddenly there was a sound from the two wings in the courtyard, and there seemed to be the sound of someone getting up. There's someone in the house! Zhao Min scolded in his heart, someone lives in you and makes such a broken yard, so that my brother thinks it is abandoned! At this time, it was too late to be discharged from the hospital, so I had to try my luck!
Zhao Min casually chose a wing room to push the door, the door did not move at all, and it was locked! At this time, the chasing patrol had reached the gate of the courtyard, and the lights of the two manned wings were also lit. Zhao Min was so anxious that he pushed the next room again, but he still didn't move! There was only the last room left, Zhao Min stepped over in three steps and two steps, pushed hard, and the door opened! Zhao Min was ecstatic, and in a flash, he entered the house, gently closed the door, and put his ear to the door to listen to the movement outside the door.
I only heard the noise in the courtyard, and the people in the courtyard seemed to get up and open the courtyard door, and they were talking in the courtyard at this time.
A somewhat feminine voice sounded: "The big boss has ordered that you are not allowed to approach the other courtyard for no reason, and you dare to put the big boss's life on the line?" ā
How dare such a broken yard be called another courtyard? You pirates really put gold in your face. Zhao Min sneered and continued to listen attentively.
The other replied in a respectful voice: "Master Mingjian! It wasn't the small ones who made the time, but they saw a black shadow on the way to patrol, and the small one chased the black shadow to this place, and lost his trace outside the courtyard. The little one was afraid that outsiders would sneak into the island and disturb the brothers, so he had to disturb the brothers' rest, and hoped that the brothers would forgive their sins! ā
The feminine voice in front of him said: "Recently, only the second master ship has gone out to eat on the island, and there are no other ships coming and going, how can outsiders appear?" Don't you have any special thoughts about that little lady, right? The big boss has warned that any woman on the island can play casually, and this little lady can't touch it, Mo Feier and the others think that I can't kill anyone! "In the end, it's all about it.
The man who replied was so frightened that his voice trembled: "Master misunderstood!" Master misunderstood! How can the little ones have that dog's guts! The little ones have always taken the words of the big masters as if they were holy decrees...... And the master's orders will never dare to disobey, the master is angry! ā
At this time, another calm voice sounded: "Master, these little brothers are also responsible, if they are fine, they will not come here to touch the mold, don't embarrass them, let them look around, it's early, save standing here in the middle of the night and blowing the cold wind." ā
The master snorted coldly and stopped speaking, and the little minion hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Sixth Brother, thank you Master!" After speaking, he shouted to the minions: "Didn't you hear what the sixth brother said?" Take a look around, hurry! The crowd responded.
Zhao Min hid in the house and secretly complained, where else could he escape if he wanted to search the house? I turned around and looked around the room to see where I could hide, but I almost didn't scream!
I saw a big bed in the empty room, and a woman was sitting on the bed, because the light was too dim, I couldn't see my age clearly, but Zhao Min clearly saw a pair of clear and translucent eyes looking at him quietly! In the dark night room, only this pair of eyes are as bright as stars!
