Chapter 39: Escape from the Pirate Ship

I don't know the sun and moon in the cabin, but fortunately, the pirate who looks like a cook will show up on time to pick up the goods, and Zhao Min also roughly figured out the rules, and the pick-up time is twice a day, without deviation, and Zhao Min can clearly know the time. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Time passed unconsciously, Zhao Min practiced flying knives in the cabin when he had nothing to do, and after practicing dozens of times, he didn't expect to find a hidden setting: it turned out that there was a faint progress bar under the 'throwing LV1' at the bottom of the "skill lottery" column, because the color was gray and I didn't pay attention to it at first; The progress bar increases with the number of uses, and anyone who has played the game knows that it means that this skill has a proficiency setting! Although it is only a very short and short section, probably less than one percent of the whole, but this has greatly increased Zhao Min's confidence! If you have proficiency, you can advance! There's no need to bet on that 2.5% odds! Thinking like this made Zhao Min more and more excited, and he practiced more diligently.

After the pick-up chef left the cargo hold for the fifth time, Zhao Min still kept throwing throwing knives as usual. Just when the flying knife was about to shoot this time, suddenly Zhao Min felt a violent shaking, and in a trance, the flying knife didn't know where it flew. Then I heard a "boom", and the hull of the ship also shook suddenly, and then stopped moving, and there was an earth-shattering noise outside. Zhao Min's heart shook dramatically, this is ...... The ship docked?

Zhao Min hurriedly rushed to the porthole, carefully propped up the curtain, revealing a gap and looking out.

Sure enough, now the pirate ship is parked on a dock, and the side of the cabin where Zhao Min is located happens to be facing the dock, and the situation at the dock can be seen at a glance! This is a simple man-made wharf, there are many 'illegal buildings' like houses built on the shore, and the side by the sea is a plank road reinforced with logs the thickness of human waists, revealing a primitive and fierce atmosphere. Although the building is simple, it looks very crowded. Looking at the past from Zhao Min's point of view, the pirates on the pirate ship jumped onto the dock one after another, and for a while, there was a lot of noise and noise. It should be an island, and it looks like a pirate's lair, or at least an important stronghold! Zhao Min was originally mentally prepared to be taken to the pirate's lair, but he was still a little nervous here. Now that it has docked, this cabin will no longer be safe, because under normal circumstances, pirates will come to load and unload supplies after docking, and Zhao Min will have nowhere to hide at that time.

Zhao Min took a deep breath, from now on, he will be the only one hiding in the pirate's den, and he doesn't know what happened to Jimo? Cough! Now is not the time to worry about those things, let's focus on the crisis at hand!

The most important thing at the moment is to slip off the boat while there is chaos, find a place to hide near the dock, and then wait for the opportunity to get out of the boat and escape. Now the question is how to mix up the ship? It's certainly unrealistic to climb out of the porthole, the porthole is facing the dock, everyone is watching, he is neither Spider-Man nor invisible, and he can't hope that dozens of pairs of eyes can't see! It's riskier to get out of the hatch, and who knows if there are pirates on board at this time? In case you encounter pirates halfway through, who can guarantee that you will have such good luck to hide in a cabin where no one is hiding?

Zhao Min's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly glanced at the wooden barrel where he was hiding, and an idea moved in his mind. That's right! You can hide it in a bucket! Anyway, his body is light, and the weight of the empty barrel is about the same as the weight of a wooden barrel filled with water, according to common sense, but where there is a water source, the fresh water stored on the ship will inevitably be replaced, and then it will be his chance to escape! Thinking of it, Zhao Min was very familiar with these wooden barrels that had been with him for several days, and immediately chose an empty barrel that was not conspicuous in the middle, first used a book knife to open a few finger-thick holes in the side wall of the barrel body for ventilation, and then curled up, buried the whole person in the wooden barrel, and then firmly covered it with the barrel lid. Fortunately, except for the uncomfortable posture, there is no feeling of depression, and the rest is waiting for the porters to transport it.

It didn't take long to hear the hatch opened, and through the small hole drilled, I couldn't count how many people there were! , followed by a chaotic shouting and scolding, and the sound of driving sounded, and then I felt that my body was light, and my eyes floated, presumably being carried on my shoulder! The porter obviously didn't find anything abnormal, which made Zhao Min breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that my luck is not bad, and the next thing is to gamble on the emptiness of the defense of the place where the goods are delivered!

But soon Zhao Min didn't think so, because as soon as he got off the boat, he could no longer enjoy the treatment of being raised by others as a member of the 'barrel', and then on the road on the shore, he began to roll and set off - that's right, the barrels are all rolled away! For a while, Zhao Min only felt that the world was spinning, his mind was blank, and the urge to vomit flooded his throat from time to time. With his eyes tightly closed, his limbs struggling to support the wall of the barrel, desperately resisting the desire to vomit, and overcoming the occasional bumps in the uneven road from time to time, Zhao Min felt like clothes in a drum washing machine, enjoying the courtesy of being reborn. At this time, he wanted to die!

It seemed that after a long time, the seemingly never-ending rotation finally stopped, and then the sound of "dong dong" was incessant, and it should have reached the place where the barrels were concentrated. Then the sound of people and footsteps gradually faded away, presumably these cargo personnel were no longer responsible for the next work and left one after another. Zhao Min only felt dizzy, and his limbs seemed to be broken, and he couldn't feel his existence at all. The wheezing calmed down for a while, and he felt a little better, but he still didn't dare to move. According to the sky I just saw on the porthole, it is now estimated that it will be dark in one or two hours between the time of Shen and the hour of You, and that is the best opportunity to escape!

Zhao Min shrunk in the bucket and breathed silently, and at the same time he was afraid: the decision to hide in the bucket in a hurry just now was too hasty, although the weight was about the same, but the feeling of water or solid in the bucket when shaking was two completely different concepts, this time it was good luck to meet a careless porter, will it be so lucky next time? You must plan and then move, boy!

Time passed slowly, and because of the tight spacing between the barrels, it was impossible to observe the sky through the air holes, but it was estimated that there were more than two hours. Zhao Min bit his lower lip and decided to test it. He clenched his hands into a fist and knocked on the wall of the barrel lightly and heavily, making a muffled "thump"; After waiting for a while, there seemed to be no response, and after a little more hard tapping, there was still no response. Zhao Min breathed a sigh of relief this time, pushed open the lid of the barrel hard, and got out of the barrel.

It was really dark outside, Zhao Min took a deep breath of fresh air, and then slowly spit it out. After being stuffy in the small space on the sea for so long, he suddenly saw the openness that he had not seen for a long time, and his mood that he had been suppressed seemed to relax a lot with this turbidity. Pirates can't kill me, they can't drown me, they can't kill me when they smash my anchor, they can't trap me in the cabin; It turned out that I was forced to have no choice, but now I have been given such a broad world, I can go wherever I want, I will play peek-a-boo, I don't believe you can find me!

After thinking about it like this, Zhao Min became excited. His plan was still to find a way to escape with a departing ship, so it was now imperative to choose a good hiding place, so that he could keep an eye on the dock at all times, so that he could blend in at any time. Zhao Min looked around and found himself in a place shaped like a mountain col, surrounded by low hills on three sides, with only one exit. There was a stream beside him, which was supposed to flow from the mountains, and the barrels were piled up on the side of the stream. Zhao Min didn't dare to blatantly go down the stream, so he had to stick to the mountain wall, carefully turn out of the exit, and look at it, and was suddenly dumbfounded under this look:

I saw a big road dozens of steps down the exit, and all kinds of strange wooden houses were erected on both sides of the road, many of which were brightly lit, and there was a faint sound of drinking and laughing, but I couldn't see where the dock was!
