Chapter 42: The Ship Robbery
The world is sometimes so small, although Yao Qianwen pointed out this road to me at the beginning, but I didn't expect to meet her again on such a small boat to the small town of Latam.
The surprise made me forget about the previous tracking, and when I calmed down, the man was gone.
"You actually came out alive? That's great! Awesome! You know, I thought you were dead! Uncle, you're really a cockroach! "But Yao Qianwen looked more excited than I was.
She seemed eager to see me.
I looked her up and down, paying special attention to her complexion, "It seems that your insect venom has been resolved." You really didn't lie to me about this. ”
"Uncle, what do you mean by that? I didn't lie to anything else! ”
I didn't speak, just stared at her, and after looking at her for about three or five seconds, Yao Qianwen immediately waved her hand, "Oh okay, what about other things, I may be a little mistaken, but it doesn't matter!" Who doesn't have a secret? How many ex-boyfriends did your girlfriend have before she married you, and she can't be honest with you, right? ”
"Are you talking too far?" I glared at her.
"Look at you!" Yao Qianwen pursed her lips, "It's just a casual chat, uncle, your temper is getting bigger and bigger, it's not good." ”
"Where is the one named Du Youlan? Now that your poison is cured, I need to ask her too. "I'll cut back to the point.
"Where is she? Oh......" Yao Qianwen suddenly hesitated, as if she was thinking about something, "I thought you came here to find out...... It seems that you haven't found her yet? ”
It's strange what she said.
If only she had nothing else to ask for from me, just tell me where Du Youlan was.
If she asks me, she can make a condition.
But looking at the look in her eyes at the moment, it seems that she wants to get some other information from me.
"Although the country is not big, finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. How could I possibly know where she was, but you, don't you know? ”
"Of course I do."
"Tell me, then. I'm not mistaken, you introduced me. I looked at Yao Qianwen inexplicably.
"But uncle, if you don't meet me here, how are you going to find her? You don't seem to be wrong with this route, but how did you get it right? Or do you have some other secrets? Speaking of this question, Yao Qianwen's eyes lit up, which was what she wanted to know the most.
The town of Ratam, the location of the insect egg burst on the trap map.
Should I tell her this message?
After a moment of thought, I said, "Didn't you give me a coin, throw it away." After speaking, he took out the coin engraved with crystal orchid and flicked it in front of Yao Qianwen.
Yao Qianwen smiled coldly: "How much do you look down on me for lying to me like this?" ”
"You can jump off a cliff with a coin toss, why can't I use it to determine the direction? Don't sell it, say it, I know you want to tell me. ”
I originally expected that Yao Qianwen was willing to reveal the information about Du Youlan to me, after all, she was the one who introduced Du Youlan to me in the first place, and there was no reason to hide it from me after meeting me now.
But what I didn't expect was that my luck was really bad.
Yao Qianwen suddenly snatched the coin from my hand and looked at me with a smile: "Uncle, if you arrive two days early, I will be willing to tell you where Sister Lan is." But it's a pity, you're late, and now you can't find Sister Lan, you can't save me. But if you tell me where you're going and what you're doing, then I have a chance to change my mind. ”
She was threatening me.
Moreover, the girl mentioned "save", which is an interesting word.
I laughed.
Yao Qianwen frowned: "You are smiling!" ”
I looked at her face carefully and said, "You look good, you must not be a worm venom that threatens you." ”
I looked at the environment again, and near the bottom of the cabin, it was covered in mud and mess.
In this case, ordinary tourists will not come.
"Little girl, you can't sneak onto the boat, do you? And, maybe you're still being hunted down? Is this the script? ”
As soon as these words came out, Yao Qianwen's face changed by three points, and she glared at me fiercely: "Why do you talk so much nonsense, don't you usually look in the mirror?" You don't need me to tell you how bad your face is right now, do you? Still want to counter-threaten me? ”
I waved my hand, "I can't threaten you." I wondered, who have you offended? Who are you? I've checked your information, and it's all fake without a person like you. I'm curious, what are you going to do on this ship? ”
"Transshipment, the legend of the transshipment of the holy river of Laguo, everyone who comes here knows it."
"It seems that you look down on me a lot, are you going to tell this lie for the rest of your life? Let's change the reason, no, I'll make it up for you? ”
Yao Qianwen gave me a blank look.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a small faint sound coming from the cabin door behind me, as if someone was moving something inside.
I was curious, so I stopped the tentative dialogue with Yao Qianwen for the time being, and quietly approached the door.
At the moment when my hand touched the door panel, there was a sudden sound of gunfire overhead!!
"Oh! What the?! Yao Qianwen shouted and looked up in surprise.
After a violent vibration in the door, it suddenly quieted down, I wanted to open it to find out, but I heard Yao Qianwen's voice begging for mercy behind me, "Hey, what are you doing, don't, don't mess around, don't I just didn't buy a ticket, don't use a gun......"
Holding the muzzle of the gun against Yao Qianwen's back was the same local I had been following.
He glared at me and spoke in broken Chinese, "You! Get down! Fast! No...... Otherwise, shoot! ”
"Calm down." I squatted down, put my hands behind my head, and gave Yao Qianwen a look and told her to do the same.
I noticed that those three people were strange, but I didn't expect that they actually hid guns on the ship. What are these people going to do? The man in front of him, there are two other accomplices, from the point of view, he seems to be a veteran of firearms, I take action now, and the chance of successfully controlling him and taking the gun at the same time is only about thirty percent.
Although I am still infected by insects and cannot be easily killed, there are too many people on this ship, and rash action may affect innocents.
The most direct is this girl who is full of lies.
So I choose to obey.
Yao Qianwen and I were taken out on deck, where the crew, the passengers, almost everyone on the ship. They squatted in three rows, holding their heads in their hands, and one of the three people before was in the crowd at the moment, frequently changing the muzzle of the gun in his hand, threatening everyone.
The ship looks like it has been hijacked.
Yao Qianwen and I reluctantly joined the crowd, squatting in the last row, the last two positions.
"No, it's so ......unlucky," Yao Qianwen quietly bumped me with her elbow, "Uncle, is there anything you can do?" ”
Although there were at least thirty hostages guarded by one person, it was clear that the local with the gun was very alert.
For that reason, it was difficult to take the gun from him, and the other two were missing at the moment.
"No way, I don't have a gun."
"Wait for death......"
"Don't panic, first find out what the purpose of these people is." I always felt like they were looking for something. In fact, the first time I saw Yao Qianwen, I was sure that she was hiding something. At that time, I even had such a thought, whether the three people I met before were the people who chased and killed Yao Qianwen.
But now, it doesn't seem to be.
The rest of the day was a long one, and we spent two hours on the deck in the scorching sun. These guys seem to be very experienced, and should have cut off the ship from the outside world in the first place, and we have no chance of being rescued.
Over time, the people who guarded us, from one, to two, and finally to the shift. Eventually, all three of them came to us, and I felt they should have searched the entire ship by now.
That's right, I guess my guess is right.
These people didn't hijack the ship for reasons like money. They were looking for something, but they didn't seem to find it now, so they were ready to ask.
"You...... And you! The man who grabbed me and Yao Qianwen is now walking in the crowd, speaking broken Chinese, and dragging two of them up, "Get on your knees!" ”
He commanded the two hostages, kneeling in front of the crowd, pointing a gun at the back of their heads, it was a middle-aged couple, who were trembling with fright at the moment, and could not cry. The robber kicked the weeping woman on the head, and although it was extremely dangerous, the man still had the courage to protect his wife and shout in a panicked and frightened voice: "You, you...... What are you going to do?! ”
The robber stretched out his left hand, the palm of which was black, too far away for me to see clearly.
He seemed to be asking the hostages if they knew the thing.
The man denied it, shook his head again and again, hugged his wife, resisted and begged for mercy uncontrollably.
"Search!" The leader of the robbers ordered two other men to begin searching the husband and wife, but as expected, the two did not have what they wanted.
Next, the three thugs shot the couple without hesitation.
Although there were gunshots before, it was more for deterrence, and no one really died. The hostages were afraid, but they hadn't imagined the worst yet. And now, there are really dead people, and the screams are like thunder, which is heart-wrenching. The lonely ship in the long river is like a ship of death adrift in the river of hell, which will send everyone into the endless abyss of terror at any time.
But the villains would not pay attention to the hostages' pleas for mercy, they continued to pull people, and this time, the hostages who were dragged to the front of people for questioning knelt down directly and begged for mercy.
But the result was still the same, and he was still killed.
The robbers understood that these people had no idea at all, and that the reason for their killing was only for deterrence.
Shock the man who hides in the crowd and really has what they want.
But that thing, maybe not easily carried on the body, should be very small and secretive, so they searched the body, the ship, but did not search everyone on a large scale.
Their suspicions, more inclined to it, were that the thing was hidden somewhere on the ship.
So what exactly is that?
"It really has nothing to do with you?" At this time, I still couldn't help but look at Yao Qianwen beside me.
"Of course, what do you think, I'm also confused now!" She was also so frightened that her face turned pale and didn't look like she was lying. And at this time, an unfortunate scene appeared, this time, the robbers dragged up three people, again a husband and wife, but in the middle there was a little girl, who looked less than ten years old.
