Back on the docks of Paradise Harbor.

The oncoming sea breeze blew on his cheeks.

Yuan Nautical has left.

This merchant ship under the flag of pirates, docked at the dock for a night, brought a carnival of physical strength and remuneration to the boatmen on this dock.

Even the patrolling guards on Paradise Island can't stop the fight between these gangs of boatmen.

But the Voyage did.

Good question, last night, the largest gang of shipwrights at the docks, put aside their hatred of each other, and worked together to empty the cargo carried by the Voyage.

Of course, they also puffed up their wallets.

But this situation lasted only one night later.

The boatmen, who had been working together for a long time, became hostile to each other again.

After all, there is only one voyage, not every day, and if you want to survive, you still have to rely on grabbing business.

The headscarves, which are red in ochre, gray and white, and light black, have become a sign of whether they belong to the same gang or not.

But in my own eyes, there is no difference between these busy guys.

As far as the eye can see, it is like an ant colony shuttling around the docks, looking for a job, or busy carrying goods.

Less than a mile away beneath his feet was the endless raging sea with white foam.

For a while, Ding Xiaoyi was a little worried.

I wanted to come over early and take the Voyage to my destination.

But now that the Voyage is gone, it is not easy for me to go to my destination.

After all, it was a place infested by aliens, and ordinary fishing boats did not dare to go there, and pirate ships would not pull themselves over.

Although he can steal a pirate ship directly in a stealth way.

But the problem is that I can't sail, and I don't know how to sail a boat.

On the contrary, the principle of shipbuilding is very clear to me.

"Let's look for it, if it doesn't work, it's better to solve it with money."

Ding Xiaoyi looked at the fishing village in the lower area not far away, and he believed that there would be brave men under the heavy reward.

So I walked along the harbor towards the fishing village.

Before you get closer, you can smell the unique intoxicating aroma of fruit wine.

It is a fragrance mixed with sweetness and rich bouquet.

It is also the cheapest drink.

The brewing material is a strong liquor made from sugar cane juice water for three years, for sailors who have been adrift on ships all year round.

This drink, called rum, is undoubtedly a cheap and affordable treasure.

If it can be accompanied with rum behind a mint leaf, it is definitely a unique treat. 、

Although it is the lower level of Paradise Island, it is known as the stinky ditch of Paradise Island.

Although the houses appear disorganized, the floors are paved with smooth stone slabs.

This is a costly but compelling undertaking for a seaport that is often hit by wind and rain.

As soon as he walked into the fishing village, Ding Xiaoyi immediately felt the peeping eyes around him.

The appearance of a stranger often attracts the attention of people here.

But it's more of a guard.

Occasionally, there were some unkind eyes, but when these eyes saw Krutu's cold face, they quickly dodged away from him.

At this time, his eyes suddenly stopped on a small grocery store next to him.

This grocery store has an old, greasy door with the quirky name of "Fence, Woman and Dog".

This is secondary, the important thing is that the owner of the grocery store looks like an old man from the summer people.

Wrapped in a white turban, he was lazily lying on the same old bamboo chair next to him smoking a pipe.

In this new world, the proportion of Xia people is not high.

After all, the Xia people were born with not strong enough limbs, and unless they were not spirit masters or fallen spirit masters, they did not have any advantages here.

Therefore, when I see the Xia people of the same race, I will have some closeness in my heart.

noticed Ding Xiaoyi walking towards him.

The old man who was sitting in front of the door smoking a cigarette immediately became vigilant.

After all, Ding Xiaoyi sees him as the same clan, but he doesn't see Ding Xiaoyi.

Especially the face that is not friendly at all, always seems to stare at everyone who owes me money.

"Is there anything you need??"

The old man asked cautiously.

"I need to find a boat that can go to sea, but the place to go is a bit dangerous, but I can pay well."

When I hear that the remuneration is handsome, and it is a good reward.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he raised his palm: "At least this number!" ”

"Yes!"

Ding Xiaoyi looked at the old man's palm with only two fingers left, and nodded without hesitation.

Seeing that he agreed so quickly, the old man hesitated and added, "I'm talking about 20 yuan!" ”

"Less nonsense, I'm talking about 200!"

Hearing the number 200, the old man's eyes straightened, and he hurriedly patted his thigh and said, "I took this job!" ”

As he spoke, he turned around and shouted twice into the shop, and a boy of about ten years old walked out, with tanned skin, lean hands and feet, and a look of maturity that was not appropriate for his age.

"50 yuan, take him to sea!"

When the boy heard this, he frowned deeply: "But what I heard just now is 200!" ”

"Okay, 70 yuan at most, you little rabbit, eat and drink and live with me, I haven't counted these with you!"

After the old man glared at the boy's mouth and complained, the boy had no choice but to look at Ding Xiaoyi, although he was a little afraid of this man, but he still had the courage to ask: "Where are you going!" ”

"The archipelago in the eastern bay."

Ding Xiaoyi remembered that there was no specific name for the island in the information, but only vaguely pointed out the general direction.

The boy was stunned for a moment and raised his head: "That's the territory of aliens!" It's dangerous. ”

The three words of alien obviously made the people around him very uncomfortable.

Most of them are full of fear of aliens.

Even see it as a demon.

Approaching their territory would be a self-defeating one.

Even the old man couldn't help but hesitate and shook his head: "Forget it, we won't take this job!" ”

Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi sighed and was not surprised by this result, so he opened his mouth and directly asked for 200 yuan.

At this time, seeing their refusal, I was relieved in my heart.

It's really dangerous there, and if a ten-year-old kid takes him there, he won't feel good if something happens.

Remember that there was a bar down there, and he was going to try his luck inside.

Find out if there are any pirates who prefer to be more helpful.

"Wait!!"

As soon as he walked down the steps, Ding Xiaoyi heard someone behind him shouting to him.

I saw the boy running over quickly: "I can take you there, but ...... Add money! ”

"How much!"

Looking at the serious expression of the boy in front of him, Ding Xiaoyi hugged his hands and waited for his answer.

“2000！”

Surprisingly, the boy directly added a fraction to the number.

With the figure of 2,000 yuan, a lot can be done on the current paradise island.

You must know that a bottle of rum here only starts at 3 yuan.

Two loaves of bread are only a dollar.

This made him feel a little disgusted in his heart, he was not short of money, and he was even very rich.

2,000 yuan is nothing to me.

But he doesn't like others to think of him as a wronged leader.

Just when he was about to reject the boy.

The boy's next words instantly shocked him.

"2,000 yuan, it's not worth mentioning to you, but it's enough for you to buy my life.

If this time I die there.

At least I'm going to leave a sum of money for my grandfather.

Enough for him to live the rest of his life with peace of mind.

I don't have to save money to buy a ticket for me anymore. ”

The boy's words suddenly shocked Ding Xiaoyi's heart.

The boy's fiery and determined eyes and sharp words all shocked him.

Death may not be the most feared thing for a boy who is not yet ten years old.

But what is amazing is the aura shown by the boy, the courage to see death as home, this is just a ten-year-old child.

When I was ten years old, what was going on in my head?

After school, whether to write homework or play games first is the question that you should think about.

Facing the boy's gaze at him, Ding Xiaoyi's heart softened suddenly, he was just a normal person, and he couldn't be that kind of ruthless steel.

"Please don't refuse, this season, sea fog often gushes on the sea, and now even if you pay a higher price, no pirate is willing to take the risk!"

Ding Xiaoyi heard the words and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he pouted and said, "I can give 20,000!" ”

In the face of such a disguised rejection.

The boy was more confident: "I'm sorry, it's tempting, but I think if you offer 20,000."

Then not only will you not be able to go there, but you may not even be able to leave it alive.

After all, killing a person and taking a person on an adventure are the result of 20,000.

I don't think those murderous pirates would mind killing someone who might have more money on them. ”

"Beautiful!"

After the boy's words were finished, Wangcai couldn't help but praise: "Clear thinking, reasonable, you lost!" ”

"Heh, I think it's time for Big Head to come out and eat some coarse grains recently!"

Ding Xiaoyi was not convinced, but he had to admit in his heart that this boy did surprise him enough.

But even so, he didn't want to take a boy on an adventure.

In his heart, there are some things that can be done, but there are some bottom lines that must be adhered to.

Let a ten-year-old follow him on an adventure, he can't be such a bastard.

"Your eloquence moved me, here are two thousand yuan, you take it back first! Two hours later, we'll meet at the docks, don't try to escape, or I'll catch you. ”

He shook his fist as he spoke, threatening viciously.

"Don't worry!"

After taking the money, the boy quickly took it into his arms, turned around and hurried back.

Seeing the boy walk away, Ding Xiaoyi turned around and prepared to leave.

"But master, I'm afraid it's really as he said, this season, I'm afraid it's really hard to find." Wangcai couldn't help but worry in his heart.

At this time, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly paused and looked at the alley on the side.

When I saw a few pirates in the alley surrounding a woman in the corner, getting her hands on and off.

Ding Xiaoyi's eyes gradually narrowed a gap, and he sneered: "Who said that, you see, isn't this just sent to the door?" ”
