450 Check the boss's decision
The business in the noodle shop was at its most prosperous, but Boss Cha heard a particularly bad news: the water thieves were coming!
As soon as the customers who were eating noodles heard the word "water thief", they immediately dropped their bowls and ran away. Boss Cha was in a hurry, ran to the gangplank to stop them and shouted: "You haven't settled the bill yet!" Give money! Give money! ”
But how many can he stop alone? Those customers who couldn't wait to get ashore from the gangplank simply jumped over, or jumped back from the gang back to the boat they rowed from, and then the hula all ran with the other boats in the direction of the back six holes.
As mentioned earlier, the eighteen caves are just a collection of eighteen water caves, which can be roughly divided into the first six caves, the middle six caves, and the last six caves, which connect three different underground rivers and lead to three different directions. Boss Cha's noodle shop has been docked in the third of the first six holes.
Judging by the direction in which the other ships fled, it is likely that the water thieves came from the direction of the first six holes. What can I do now?
There are no city walls in the eighteen caves, and there are no decent city guards, and the iron ship where the cave master's mansion is located is still located in the middle six caves, if we want to rely on them to support us, it is simply a fool's dream to defend against the enemy outside the "national gate"!
So, we're on our own now. And the normal options are nothing more than two: either run away, or give money honestly.
"Dough roller! Come and help! ”
Boss Cha made a decision at the first time, called the dough roller, ran to the bow of the ship and began to raise anchor, preparing to run away with the other boats. The iron anchor was big and heavy, and it had to be pulled by a dough roller to get it up faster.
Then, Boss Cha instructed me and Scissorghost to climb to the top of the cabin and untie the sails from the mast. At this time, there is a yin wind blowing in the first six holes, and you can escape with the help of the wind.
But I didn't expect that the sail that was untied turned out to be broken!
Seeing this, Boss Cha was furious, and scolded: "That damn sarcasm actually dares to be lazy!" Last month I told him to mend the sails, but he ran away before he could fix them! ”
But scolding and scolding, the sarcastic ghost has been expelled by him, where to find it now to settle accounts?
Large underground caverns will form a certain amount of air flow, but it is not as strong as the surface of the earth, and it is cold and biting, which we generally call "yin wind". The wind was not strong, but it was still able to move a wooden boat. Boats in underground rivers are mostly rowed by oars, except when they set sail when the wind is downwind.
However, the wrecked boat we used to open a noodle restaurant was too big and had few people, so we couldn't row it at all. It seems that this time Boss Cha can only rely on breaking the fortune to eliminate the disaster!
Boss Cha angrily slapped the boat gang and scolded angrily: "These water thieves only came once five months ago, and let me pay 1,500 Yin Yuan before they would give up!" Isn't this coming again going to bankrupt me? ”
Fifteen hundred yin yuan is almost the net income of this small noodle restaurant for a year, no wonder Boss Cha is so distressed.
"Damn, I won't give it this time!" Boss Cha gritted his teeth, was ruthless, and yelled.
He ignored the doubts and inquiries of our fellows about his words, turned and went to the bottom of the cabin, and out of nowhere he pulled out a few weapons and threw them on the deck. There were knives, swords, guns, and two broken shields, but they were rusted from lack of maintenance.
Boss Cha sent us these rusty weapons and ordered: "Pick up the guys and prepare to fight the water thieves together!" People are in the boat, people are dead and the ship is sinking! ”
Everyone was stunned: just a few people, and they also want to fight water thieves? He really wants money and doesn't want to die!
"Old ...... Boss, do you really want to fight? Scissor asked with a stammer.
"Hit! A must-have! Boss Cha shouted categorically, "If we don't fight, we won't be able to run away, if this boat is robbed by water thieves, you will be unemployed!" ”
The bookworm ghost was even more frightened, and the rusty broken knife in his hand seemed out of place with it. But it didn't dare to ask the boss directly, but turned to look at me to see how I would react.
I said to Boss Cha: "Boss, to tell you the truth, I'm not afraid of losing my job, but I'm afraid of losing my head." It's not appropriate for us to have to fight a water thief just for a job like this noodle shop, right? ”
Boss Cha listened to my questioning and seemed to feel a little overbearing. Among these guys, I'm afraid that the old subordinate of the noodle roller will follow him loyally and work for him, but I, the scissor ghost, and the bookworm ghost are the guys who were recruited later, even if he leaves him and runs away now, he has nothing to say.
So, Boss Cha put on a smile that was even uglier than not smiling, and said to me: "Lao Feng, we are now grasshoppers on the same boat, and we will see the outside world when we say these words!" Otherwise, I'll cut some blood, and as long as you can help me get rid of the water thieves, I'll give you a raise!" ”
I pursed my lips, disapproving. With his slamming style, how much can the so-called salary increase be? Who is still desperate to add a few more Yin Yuan?
Seeing that I didn't speak, Boss Cha knew that I was not satisfied, so he gritted his teeth and patted his thigh and said, "Forget it!" I promise you, as long as you defeat the water thieves, I will pay each of you an extra three months' salary in addition to the salary increase! ”
Well, I guess this is also the biggest reward that Boss Cha can give!
I couldn't help but smile wryly. Before I came to the Eighteenth Cave, I only thought that it was easy to hide and escape, but I didn't expect that this place was also easy to be attacked by water thieves, and I had to fight for one or two hundred Yin Yuan!
However, at this point, I can't help but hesitate. More than a dozen clippers suddenly appeared in the first six holes, full of water thieves, all with weapons in their hands, screaming and scaring us who didn't have time to escape.
In fact, they are ghost bandits who are rampant on the water, and what they do is to kill people and steal goods. The only difference is that they also know how to cut leeks, and when attacking a small yin city like Eighteen Caves, they generally don't rush to kill them all, grab the money and run, and then come back in a few months.
This is also the reason why I did not categorically refuse to check the boss and left it alone. At this time, it will also be dangerous to be alone, so it is better to follow them to guard the ship together. As long as I don't run into hard stubble, with my Fifth Yin Gong cultivation and rich combat experience, there should be no big problem with self-preservation.
And, on the good news, the dozen or so clippers from the water thieves split into several groups when they reached the first six holes. The first few big ships and the main force of the water thieves all went straight to Zhongliu Cave, which was where the cave master's mansion and other official facilities were located, and the harvest of looting there was the greatest. They left only three small boats of thieves in the third hole, responsible for looting us civilian ships doing business.
There are a total of nine water thieves on the pirate ship that came to our ship, and roughly speaking, the strength is relatively average, only three, the others are green ghosts and gray ghosts, and there is not even one ink ghost. This gave me a little more confidence.
"That's right! They all stood there obediently, so obedient! One of the at the head of the pirate ship laughed loudly, and ordered his men to bring their ship to our ship, and it should be the little leader of the pirates on this ship. Ghosts are all floating, and when the two ships get closer, they don't need a gangplank at all, and they can come by jumping.
According to the tactics arranged by Boss Cha in advance, we did not do it immediately, but hid all our weapons in the shadows around us. Wait for Boss Cha to shout "do it", and then everyone will the guy together to kill the water thief.
But where has the bookworm ghost ever seen this kind of scene, he can't stand on his feet tremblingly, let alone doing it, it's good that he can keep it from fainting for a while. The other two, the dough roller and the scissor ghost, had both licked blood from the knife after all, but they had some experience and behaved quite calmly.
"You're the owner of this boat, aren't you?" As soon as the little leader of the water thieves came over, he stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the boss Cha, and threatened: "Old man, don't want to play any tricks, if you don't want the head to land, hurry up and pay for it!" ”
"How much do you want?" Boss Cha held back his anger and asked rhetorically.
"How much?" The little boss smiled and said, "Don't ask such stupid questions!" We'll have as much as you want! ”
After hearing this, Boss Cha suddenly changed his face. He slapped off the little boss's hand, grabbed its neck in turn, and twisted it harder, and the ghost head was twisted off!
Boss Cha kicked the headless little leader's body into the water, and then smashed the ghost head into the other water thief standing behind him, and pulled out a knife hidden under the table. At the same time, he yelled at us, "Do it! ”
A few of our other fellows also quickly pulled out the weapons hidden around us, and aimed at the water thieves who were still a little overwhelmed.
I shoved the bookworm ghost into the cabin before I picked up the usual knife hidden under my clothes, and with a single blow I split the nearest water thief in half. Later, I fought with a water thief who had reached the level of a. Although its strength is far inferior to mine, its movements are very flexible, and it actually made me slash three times in a row.
At this time, I didn't have time to play hide and seek with it, so I stabilized my mind, transported ninety percent of the yin power, and slashed it away from the old man!
The water thief killed me and couldn't imagine that my usual knife could actually slash ghosts in the air, and after a scream, it was also broken in half, and then turned into black mist.
"Ahh
As soon as I finished eliminating the two water thieves and ghost bandits, there was also a scream behind my ears, and the sound should be from Boss Cha!
I looked back, and sure enough, the boss was annoyed. He was the first to wring off the little boss's head, and he was the first to be targeted by the water thieves.
Next, Boss Cha was besieged by three water thieves at the same time, although he killed one desperately, he was attacked by the other two, and stabbed him several times from behind. Every time the knife was pulled out of Boss Cha's body, what gushed out was bright red and smelly human blood, spraying the faces of the two water thieves who had killed them.
Boss Cha fell on the deck, his eyes widened, his hands and feet twitched constantly, and he saw that it was difficult to live.
