Chapter 231: A Hint of a Smile
The roar of the beast outside the cave almost lasted all night.
As the sky grew brighter, the ocelot, almost smoked by the fire, finally slept happily on the cloth, the most terrifying night of his life, so frightened that he longed to forget in his sleep.
Even if you don't wake up for a long time, it's a relief.
The beasts outside the cave could no longer smell the blood in the cave, and only the unpleasant smell of smoke came out. So, the hungry and tired herds scattered along the trails of blood in search of fresh meat.
Nearly a mile from the sea, a thin black shadow hung from the trunk of a tall tree. He was also the only survivor of the pirate who escaped with the hemp pole and got lost in the jungle, but he was only slightly injured when he was scratched off a few strands of flesh by the bear's claws on his back during the fight with the black bear, so he was clever enough to climb the branch like a monkey when he encountered the beast, and then hung on the trunk.
Drops of blood oozed out of the wound, along his back, over the gluteal cleft, soaking his trousers and dripping under the tree. The hyenas, who wait patiently under the tree, lick a few drops of delicious blood from time to time, which is a wonderful drink that is difficult to taste in their lives, bringing a new treat to their sensitive taste buds.
The donors on the trees were clearly in short supply, and the dripping drinks were sparse, causing them to lose their patience and keep yelling at the tree without manners, biting the bark, scratching the trunk, and urging the progress of the serving.
The pirate, who hung in the tree, had survived the whole night with great difficulty, and waited until dawn, and heard the singing of the birds in the forest in the morning, but he could not wait for breakfast, nor for the departure of the herd of beasts at his feet.
He desperately foresaw his fate, which would be to become a piece of jerky, which would automatically fall from a tree and fall into the mouth of a hyena.
Yongchang sat on the wet sand, next to his three generals, a bear and two guards. The sharp pain in his left shoulder and chest and abdomen had slowly subsided, and the treacherous environment of the beasts competing for food had forced him to forget the pain and tiredness, and he could only rest on the soft body of the black bear.
Xu Si and Yongchang's injuries were not serious, they had fully recovered after nearly an hour after taking Yongchang's injury medicine, and they felt that they had exceeded the medicine mud that Yongchang had used at the beginning.
At this time, I only felt that the limbs were hundreds, containing infinite strength, the eight veins of the strange meridians, a warm current flowed endlessly, and the whole body was comfortable. It's a wonderful feeling of being reborn. This is not taking medicine, but taking the elixir that condenses the vitality of heaven and earth.
Could it be that this is what the eldest brother is talking about?
That's too heavy!
It was nearly the middle of the night, the roar in the forest was slowly low, and the drizzle slowly stopped, it was estimated that the hunt was nearing the end, Yongchang was seriously injured, and he may have injured his bones, so he could only rely on the black bear to breathe slowly. The three of them waited for half the night, they couldn't chase the enemy, and they were unwilling to retreat, and finally Guo Zhang and the two discussed in a low voice, and reported that Yongchang would go back to report the news, Xu Si was responsible for the vigil, and Yongchang nodded and agreed.
After an hour, more than a dozen black shadows rushed over, except for the logistics squad guarding the base, the remaining fifteen men all came with Yongchang.
Everyone sat on the ground, forming a circle on the periphery, and only Yongchang and a bear were left in the field.
But time is like flowing water, never looking back, and dawn still comes in the sound of birdsong. Yongchang ordered everyone to eat breakfast first, and then Xu Si and Lao Zou Kailu and a group of nineteen people held knives and guns, and slaughtered to the foothold in the forest.
On the way, Yongchang saw the dying survivor hanging on the tree at a glance, "pop" a gunshot, the hyenas under the tree scattered and fled, the gunfire also alarmed the pirates on the tree, he turned back with difficulty, looked at the world again with nostalgia, breathed the last breath of air, let go of his hands, "tom" a muffled sound, and fell into the red dust.
The bloodstains from last night were still on the road, leading to the direction of the cave, but the imprints gradually thinned out, leading in all directions, and there was no exit in the dense forest, only the good appetite of the animals, lost in it, and there was little life.
Approaching the entrance of the cave, Yongchang saw the situation in the cave from a distance, and in the cave that led through, there was only a pile of ashes, a pile of materials, and two human bodies. Those who can finally reach here can already be called strong, which is enough to make Yongchang admire.
Xu Si and Yongchang entered the cave and dragged the two unconscious pirates out of the cave, one with a severed hand and the other intact, it seemed that they were the golden pair they had fought last night. At this time, these two people were as unresponsive as two corpses, and the water they brought with them should not be wasted, so Yongchang asked several men to untie their belts and release water.
Ma Pole was still unconscious, the ocelot was choked awake, and when he saw the crowd around him, a trace of joy and indifference flashed in his eyes, and his expression was flat, as if there was no joy or sorrow.
Yongchang caught the instantaneous change of look in the ocelot's eyes, he understood that it was relief after despair, it was resignation to fate, and there was also a hint of luck in escaping the predation of wild beasts, this fierce pirate, who had given up the struggle and willingly allowed the enemy to cut off his head, indifferent to his fate.
If life and death are broken, the soul will be liberated!
Yongchang waved his hand to disperse the people around him, and searched the vicinity of the cave in groups to make sure that there were no fish or lurking beasts. Although it was still morning, after a night of squatting, there was no rest, and it was raining, so it was necessary to take a rest.
There may not be many people left on the ship, but the cannon can't be taken down with high kung fu. After all, when the pocks were searching yesterday, the guns on the ship rang out non-stop, and there must be people who are good at handling guns among the pirates left behind.
Acting rashly will only lead to failure.
Yongchang stared coldly at the ocelot with an indifferent expression, this dying beast had lost his faith and thirst for survival, it seemed that his setback was not a small blow.
Maybe Ma Pole is the idol he has always followed, or his brother who lives and dies together, but in the pirate group, the rules of the law of the jungle will not be more gentle than in the jungle, and at most a long-term dependence has been formed in life and death, just like a beast raised by the strong, he is just a killing tool under the stronger.
Yongchang didn't believe that the pirate in front of him would be the so-called loyal, perhaps, if he survived this night beast for a while, he could also be subdued as his minion, just like Xiong Da.
The hemp stalk had woken up, and after the blood in his body had been drained, his black skin turned gray, and a dead gray color appeared. Maybe he himself has fallen into the dying moment, but probably back to the light, his eyes are fixed on Yongchang, full of unwillingness.
Perhaps, he wants to do it again, but a perfect killer won't give him a second chance.
Last night's fight was originally a method he was good at, and the perfect trap was tried and tested, but unfortunately the appearance of a black bear disrupted his arrangement, exposing the trap he had carefully set in advance.
He is confident in his kung fu and the strength of his subordinates, the elite of these men are bandits who have survived a hundred battles, and with tacit understanding, he has almost succeeded. Now, after the killing, he had lost his arm, and the treacherous situation did not give him time to bandage his wounds, and the escape from the beasts exhausted his physical strength. Coupled with the fact that there was no one to take care of him for most of the night, the blood had dried up, and there was no longer the strength to resist, and the suffocation of a night of suffocation made him suffocate and exacerbate his weakness.
He just didn't want to observe his enemy, as if he wanted to remember the appearance of the enemy, Yongchang's demon-like appearance, coupled with the tall beasts on the side, let him know that everything was desperate, this was the first time he lost confidence in his own strength after breaking out of his murderous name, even if it was intact, what could he do?
Yongchang kicked the hemp rod away, just as he kicked the grilled fish under his feet, and the hemp rod flew out like a broken sack and fell into a stone ditch, making a muffled sound, and with him was the breeze brought by the black bear.
The ocelot looked indifferently at Yongchang tossing his partner, listening to the sound of the hemp pole falling to the ground, the sound of the black bear tearing his limbs, and the sound of chewing, he was completely resigned to fate, he didn't expect the enemy to let him go and let him escape, besides, he was already weak and weak.
Yongchang asked the leopard cat to hang high on the branches, and then asked the cave to be cleaned up, and the bags containing cloth, tobacco, and spices were arranged in two rows, just like the Datong shop in the northern carriage and horse shop, and a dozen people lay on the sacks to eat and rest.
Jin Xiu still served meticulously, in order to let Yongchang sleep comfortably, he didn't care about the girl's shyness, so he put his head on her lap, warm and soft.
A virgin fragrance penetrated Yongchang's nose, and after a while, he fell into a deep sleep, never having such peace.
When he woke up, it was noon, Yongchang felt refreshed, and the pain was completely gone.
Greedily inhaling a breath of air mixed with the girl's body fragrance, his hand gently held the soft and boneless little hand of Jin Xiu, and looked sideways, above were two tall and beautiful peaks, which looked even more sexy and attractive against the backdrop of the black suit.
The girl feigned sleep against the cave wall, her eyelashes trembling slightly, betraying the tension in her heart.
Jin Xiu had already woken up, her hands were held by a pair of rough big hands, and there was warmth and strength, and her legs were pillowed by Yongchang's head, giving her a strange feeling, a mature man's breath, blowing on her sensitive waist and abdomen, warm, itchy, making her almost melt.
A morning of intimacy, a shy girl who has no personnel, is deeply attracted to the man in front of her, makes her confused, and makes her fall.
It wasn't until the man left her thighs and walked out of the cave that she dared to open a pair of confused beautiful eyes, and a trace of emptiness and loss welled up in her heart.
Yongchang has generally recovered from his injuries, but he doesn't want others to know that the enemy is gone, and he just has to rest and rest, with a group of men, and he always has to do it himself, so he doesn't become an old scalper, and he is a cow and a horse.
What's more, all the pirate elites have been defeated, and there are three or two kittens left, so that the rookies under them can exercise their skills. Without accumulating experience through killing, a rookie will never become an old bird.
If the large army of poisonous dragons drove over, they would not be able to bear it by themselves.
The team rested for a day, and one by one they had already held their breath, with Yongchang leading the black bear and two guards to eliminate more than a dozen fierce pirates in front of them, they couldn't help but be excited. Approaching dark, Yongchang gathered his team to arrange a night attack. Three teams of seventeen people stood in front of them, all in good spirits. Jin Xiu and the black bear were behind him, and it was not their turn to get on the ship to fight, so he planned to take them with him and be the whole team.
The night covered the sea, two small boats and a raft were pushed into the water, and the seventeen members of the team were all wearing cross-era black body armor, and according to the prisoners' explanations, the enemy was left with six, such an overwhelming advantage, not surprisingly, was a complete victory.
Xu Si and Yongchang each brought a small boat, Liu Yang and Meng Haishan rowed a raft, and on the sea covered by darkness, three groups of people quietly approached the pirate ship. The bow of the ship was lit with a vigilant oil lamp, which could not penetrate the night, but could only shine on the bow deck.
Xu Si led people around to the stern of the boat, climbed the anchor chain, and boarded the boat one by one, the sound of the iron chain shaking was hidden in the sound of the waves flipping, and all the seventeen team members boarded the boat, and no one on the boat noticed.
The trapped beast is still fighting, and it will also struggle to the death, Xu Si and the people quietly approached the cabin, the two combat squads were responsible for cleaning the cabin, and the reconnaissance squad continued to move forward and clean the deck. The lion fights the rabbit, and he still does his best, and Yongchang's order is to leave no pirate captives and let them kill the enemy with their hands and feet.
Xu Si listened to the cabin door, the sound in the ship was noisy, it was estimated that it was time to eat dinner, the sound of drinking and eating and shouting came to the door, and it was mixed with the sound of men and women laughing, obviously the pirates on the ship were not worried about the safety of their leader, the prestige of the hemp pole made them act unscrupulously, and without the leader to suppress them, they stepped up to enjoy the food and beauty. As everyone knows, at this moment, their god-killing leader, Ma Zhu, has been devoured by the night to the point that only bones remain.
There was the sound of falling to the ground in the direction of the bow deck in front, and then the oil lamp hanging under the edge of the ship was removed, and the light shone on the black face of Xiao Shandong's playful laughter.
The team regrouped, half with knives and half guns, and rushed into the cabin.
The people on the ship froze, and before a dozen men and women could react, they were met by a burst of gunfire and fire, and then the swords flashed, and the pirates present fell to the ground and rolled their heads. Xu Si and Yongchang led people to disperse and rush into the side room to chase down the pirates who had slipped through the net, and only brought out the two women who were cooking in the kitchen.
The two squads then rushed down the bilge to continue clearing the enemy, leaving five scout squads to guard the prisoners. There were only a few women left in the room, bare, shaking the papaya as white as ivory and as fat as a melon, trembling and at a loss.
After a while, several gunshots and fighting and screams came from the bilge, and it soon ended. The attack was unprepared, and it was a night attack, and it didn't take long for Xu Si to bring people up with two classes of soldiers, with more than a dozen women in disheveled clothes behind him.
In total, a pirate ship carried more than two dozen women, and judging by their appearance, it is estimated that they were all looted trophies, and they became comfort women with the ship.
Yongchang stood on the seashore, looking in the direction of the pirate ship, and the sound of gunfire came far away in the night, "popping", as if more than a dozen firecrackers had been set off. Soon the ship fell silent, and a small boat rowed towards the shore. Yongchang can also see clearly in the dark night with the faint light, and he can see a few of his subordinates and a few women.
Slave girls? It is understandable that the pirates have such a collection, and they do all the business of licking blood on the head of the knife, no one knows whether tomorrow will be dead or alive, killing and enjoying have become the whole of life, and without one, this killing trade cannot be done. Either you have to go crazy, or you have to be destroyed.
Xu Si jumped out of the boat and walked quickly towards Yongchang.
"Big brother!"
"Win?"
"Win."
The heavy man's face could not hide his excitement and pleasure, and he looked at the man who led them to face the pirates again and again, this is a powerful man, a god-like man.
"What about the casualties?"
"Report to the eldest brother, all six pirates on board were killed, and none of the brethren were killed or wounded. When he got out of the bilge, Ah Sheng rushed to the front and let the pirate guarding the meat ticket shoot him, but it was okay, the things given by the eldest brother were indeed good. ”
Thinking about the clothes he was wearing, Xu Si couldn't comment on it, he was also slashed by pirates a few times during the fight last night, and he was fine after taking two pills for an hour, Chen Dasheng was shot in the chest, and he actually acted as if nothing happened, so that the pirates on the opposite side forgot to resist, and he was cut down by the knife in a daze.
"How's the seizure?" Yongchang's tone was still so calm, cherishing words like gold, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.
"Twenty-two women were arrested on the ship, three of them were estimated to be tied meat tickets, and they were brought with the ship, all of them were foreign women, chattering non-stop, and they couldn't understand a word, and the other women were now on the deck. There are too many knives, guns, shells, *, and they are still counting, and they can't be seen clearly at night, and it is estimated that they will be lit up tomorrow, big brother, you see? ”
Well, no hurry, the rest is really just trifles.
"You've done a great job! Tell someone to go over and tell them to do a thorough search of the cabin and not hide anyone. In addition, let Yongchang take people to stay and watch the boat, pay attention to the vigil at night, and keep two people on duty, one bright and one dark. Let Liu Yang leave two people for him, one hour and one turn, and one night exactly the other.
"You withdraw with the rest of the people, the women on the ship will be transferred to the shore, you can't relax your vigilance now, in case there are people with poisonous dragons in the room, there is a possibility that something will happen, be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years."
"I'd better go by myself, please rest assured, big brother!" Xu Si came and went in a hurry, and he was afraid that there would be a mistake in what Yongchang commanded. Yongchang is very satisfied with this bold and righteous man, and it is rare to be simple and meticulous.
He couldn't help but smile a little.
