In the dim, cramped lower cabins, damp mildew was constantly rising.

"Crunch—"

As the rotten wooden door was pushed open, the light of the torches shone in. A lame man with a striped headband slowly moved in with a broken bowl in his hand, his shadow swaying with torches.

The lame man took a few steps forward, and roughly kicked a tall figure lying on the ground with a scrawny body, this tall figure was so weak, the dull and chapped skin was quietly attached to the bones, and the muscles of the whole body were atrophied and disappeared, as if he had been sucked flesh by some demon, if it weren't for the sound of breathing, I am afraid that he would have been considered a corpse that had been dead for a long time, but even so, he was still alive.

Seeing that the tall figure did not react, the lame man had to half-squat on the ground, lift his loose hair, pry open the lips of the tall figure with the broken bowl in his hand, and did not care whether he could swallow it or not, and roughly poured the decoction in his hand into it.

"Ahem—"

Most of the black potion flowed down the tall figure's chest, and the remaining half kept him coughing.

"You shit! Whether you can survive or not, Lao Tzu has been serving you for several days, and if you don't get better, Lao Tzu will hack you to death! Accidentally splashed on his chest by the decoction, the lame man was furious.

But he still poured all the remaining potions, but this was not because he was merciful, it was just that he did not dare to disobey the captain's orders.

Seeing that the sick seedling under his feet still didn't react, the lame man angrily let go of the hand holding the tall figure, and let his head hit the wooden board with a clanging sound, then he sneered and slowly left with the broken bowl.

"Crunch—"

Hearing the wooden door open and close, and the sound of heavy footsteps gradually fading away, Lu Li opened his eyes and smiled bitterly, "What a violent pirate!" ”

The day after being rescued by this ship five days ago, Lu Li's consciousness came to his senses. But before he could struggle to his feet, the conversation outside the door attracted his full attention.

......

"Vic, why do you say the captain wants to save such a piece of waste! The captain is merciful and ready to do good deeds? A voice full of doubts rang out.

"Are you stupid? We're pirates! Burn, kill, rob, and do all kinds of evil Whale Pirates! How can you save people because of kindness! Another gruff voice replied.

"Huh? It's not kindness! So why save people! Even if we come up, we have to waste our resources, and we must not waste a lot of food when we eat and drink! Hearing his companion deny his conjecture, another voice grumbled dissatisfiedly.

You must know that as a small pirate group, the daily consumption of food is particularly huge, but you can't carry too much food when sailing on the sea, after all, they are pirates, how can any pirate not rob but rely on their own food.

However, the sea is so vast, it is inevitable that there will be many times when you can't find a merchant ship or find a merchant ship with too strong a guard, and the robbery will not be successful. The pirate group that lacks food can only compress the food of the people at the bottom, for example, the two people who just spoke can only get three fist-sized rice balls a day, so naturally there is a lot of resistance to the food that one more person does not share.

"But he can sell it for money!" The pirate named Vic said cautiously, "I've heard that our captain knows a lot of slave traders, and every time he robs the inhabitants he captures, he sells them to slave groups!" ”

After a pause and a swallow of saliva, Vic continued, "This man who was rescued by the captain will definitely be able to sell it for a great price as long as he recovers from his injuries." I don't know how fierce the people who are more than three meters tall are there, I heard that those noble ladies and noble ladies are very optimistic about this kind of fierce man! ”

"And this kind of thing! Are those aristocratic ladies and aristocratic wives so? Then if I ......" Vic's companion swallowed, drowning in fantasy.

Looking at his companion who lowered his head and fell into a fantasy, Bick pursed his lips disdainfully, thinking in his heart, this cripple doesn't even know what the point is, the captain secretly bought so many people, and he didn't give us a single Bailey, which is the point! Why only pay attention to noble ladies and young ladies, what useless garbage!

Bick was disdainful, but he didn't show too much, but gently patted his companion's shoulder, "You just hurry up and go in and give him medicine!" ”

Seeing Vic leave decisively, his companion asked in some surprise, "Then what are you going to do!" Aren't you going in? ”

"I'm not going. I believe you can do this little thing, you can go yourself! I still have something to do, so I'll go first. Vic walked away without looking back, and said secretly in his heart, God knows what disease the captain has when he catches him, what should I do if he infects me, don't deal with this cripple in the future, it's too stupid!

"Really! It's a task for the two of us! The lame pirate muttered helplessly.

......

Ever since hearing this conversation that day, Lu Li has been pretending to be unconscious, hoping to paralyze the pirates' vigilance and find a chance to escape.

Sure enough, under Lu Li's continuous "unconscious" situation, the lame pirate became more and more at ease with him, and the task that the captain arranged for him to keep an eye on Lu Li was completely forgotten, and he only came in and fed Lu Li some decoction when he remembered it.

"Still don't have any chances! Did I escape the catastrophe of God and die at the hands of these thieves? Lu Li looked at the web-forming spider in the corner in frustration.

Judging from what the lame pirates have revealed by themselves in the past few days, I am afraid that the trick of pretending to be unconscious is not very good. Faced with the opposition of his subordinates who are worried about the contagion, and he has been in a "coma" state, the captain of this pirate ship is also impatient with himself, and it is very likely that he will throw himself off the ship again, and this time he may not be so lucky.

As for hitting down from the ship? That's impossible. The real world is not like games or anime, if you are seriously injured, drink a bottle of medicine and rest overnight, you can be resurrected with full blood. After surviving on the isolated island for so long, lacking food and water, Lu Li's muscles all over his body have shrunk to the point of not being able to look good, and he has contracted a disease because of eating vultures, and his internal organs are in a state of failure.

After being rescued on the ship, although he was cured of his illness, he could only get a little food every day, which was completely unable to meet the most basic conditions for recovering his body, and this bit of food could only ensure that Lu Li would not die.

However, when God closes one door for you, another window will also be opened.
