Chapter Ninety-Six: The Hawker

In the evening, it was just getting dark. The door that hadn't been opened since Chen Shuangchuan woke up suddenly opened, and a man in his thirties came in, with a full face and a beard, looking particularly fierce and fierce.

Chen Shuangchuan was taken aback, couldn't help jumping up and taking a step back, and couldn't help but make a defensive posture, but he saw that the person threw something over casually, rolled over, and looked down to see that it was actually the chopsticks that Chen Shuangchuan threw out yesterday with the word "call for help", the man looked at Chen Shuangchuan, sneered and said, "Do you think that this kind of thing will bring someone to save you?" ”

After saying this, the man suddenly stared at Chen Shuangchuan carefully for a while, and said in a rather familiar tone: "Sure enough, it's you, girl, who did you offend this time, we haven't locked up anyone in this place for a long time." ”

This man...... Chen Shuangchuan thought carefully for a long time, and then recognized that this was actually Chen Dali from the same village, and he had been on the same road for a while when he fled before, but in that kind of time when he was hungry and in danger, everyone was on guard and could go all the way. It's more about using each other, I'm afraid that there is no friendship to talk about.

"This is the place?"

"Pirate's den, a whole village is a pirate, and if you want to escape from here, unless you have wings like a bird." Chen Dali paused for a moment, grinned with a hairy and bearded scum, seemed to smile, and said, "For the sake of acquaintance, if you die, I will help you collect the body, don't worry." ”

Chen Shuangchuan could only smile bitterly, Chen Dali had said such a thing, even if she could open her mouth if she asked for help, presumably Chen Dali would never accept it, or he was unable to accept it at all.

After a few words, Chen Dali went out, thinking that he had ordered, and after a while, the door opened again, but this time it was an old man with pale hair, listening to the footsteps, it should be the person who has been delivering food to Chen Shuang these days, and he struggled to bring in a bucket of hot water, put down a bag of clothes, and babbled at Chen Shuangchuan for a while, it turned out that this person was a dumb man.

It's a drowning water and a high fever, and I haven't taken a shower for several days. I just wiped my face with that little bit of cold water, and I didn't think that I would see hot water at first, but I suddenly felt itchy all over my body. After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't hold back, so he hid in the corner and scrubbed quickly.

The mute man brought a plain blue cloth shirt, a short placket, a very common seaside woman's attire. If you take these things in such a short time, then there should be a woman living on this island, and Chen Dali is also talking about a whole village, is this really a pirate village, and the people of the whole village are pirates.

If this is the case, I have never heard of such a place, and this village should be very remote, otherwise it will not be able to avoid people's eyes and ears. Near the sea, it is remote and no one travels, Chen Shuangchuan probably knows that there are several places, and the most likely ones should be the small islands in the north of Duqiao County.

Before Chen Shuangchuan could come up with an idea, the door of the cell opened again, but there was another person he didn't know at all, and he only had a beard and beard, so cold. Guang only wore a vest, exposed two muscular arms, staggered over, grabbed Chen Shuangxia's shoulders and looked left and right like looking at an animal, and then said with a mouthful of wine: "This is the girl who looks at it vigorously, she doesn't look very good, why is it still dirty, didn't you send water to clean it?" Is it born like this, so I said this strong eye, don't put such a good beauty, but I am worried about such an ugly girl! ”

Being in such a robber's den, and having heard about Qin Xianglan, Chen Shuangchuan also had an extra heart, specially tucked the changed clothes to his waist, combed a bunched hairstyle, and tried his best to make himself look bloated and ugly.

This person is the leader of this group of pirates, originally just an ordinary fisherman, a few years ago I met Chen Dali, these two people are bold and brave characters, hit it off, and gathered people to form this group of pirates, and it is also a little famous in this sea area near Wenzhou.

The others are basically the locals of this fishing village, and the only one who comes from outside is Chen Dali, who has a wide range of friends and is willing to work hard, and unknowingly has a considerable influence among the pirates. However, unlike ordinary pirates, Chen Dali never seems to have any intention of getting married, and people who gossip are speculating that Chen Dali must have a sweetheart, thinking of making money to go to the girl's house to propose marriage.

The pirates took people's money to deal with them. At first, the pirate leader didn't take Chen Shuangchuan to heart, and when he caught it, he casually threw it into the cell, and he didn't care at all. Who would have thought that when Chen Dali came back and heard about this, he couldn't wait to see Chen Shuangchuan after leaving the table, and ordered to treat her well, and couldn't help but remind the pirate leader of that rumor, and wondered what kind of fairy beauty could make Chen Dali look at.

When I met, I felt very disappointed, just looking at the facial features are still good, but the face is dirty piece by piece, the waist is bloated and there is no slender figure, I really can't see the posture.

Unsure what the pirate leader was here for, Chen Shuangchuan only felt that those eyes were staring at her, exuding a terrifying ferocity, and there was a kind of ill-intentioned aura, so he could only take a step back.

The pirate leader hiccuped, took a sip of wine, grabbed Chen Shuangchuan's arm, smiled, touched his chin and said, "If I let you out to be red, I don't know how many brothers will come to rob you?" ”

Being red is a black word among pirates, Chen Shuangchuan couldn't understand it, intuition was not a good thing, and struggled for a while. Instead of breaking free, he was grabbed tighter, and his arm hurt as if he was about to be unscrewed. Chen Shuangchuan had to say: "My family is in Duqiao County, and my husband is just a newly appointed petty official from the eighth grade, and he can't get too much ransom." ”

"I'm pretty good at talking." The pirate leader grinned coldly and said, "If you cut off this arm and send it back, I don't know how much ransom you can get in exchange?" ”

The man was telling the truth, Chen Shuangchuan only felt that his heart sank more and more, and he was even more frightened and didn't dare to move.

At this time, Chen Dali, who got the news, came over. After seeing this scene, he only frowned, pulled the very drunken pirate leader out to speak, and the argument gradually faded away.

Chen Shuangchuan only felt a burst of despair, and from the argument he heard just now, he knew that the pirate leader and Chen Dali were not convinced, and decided to follow the rules of the pirates and use a duel to determine Chen Shuangchuan's belonging, and the time was tomorrow.

Whether it is the pirate leader or Chen Dali, in Chen Shuangchuan's opinion, which one is a pirate, there is not much difference.

Chen Shuangchuan wanted to run away, but the sky was not very beautiful, this day began in the afternoon, the sky was very cloudy, the wind was very strong, and it began to rain heavily in the evening, and I felt that the wind and rain were so fascinated that I couldn't open my eyes when I opened the window panel a little.

Perhaps it was due to the heavy rain, and dinner was delivered later than usual on this day, so the mute man just opened the small door and threw it into a bowl of nests that had been wet by the rain with a little anger.

In such weather, no one should come again.

Always thinking about escaping, Chen Shuangchuan still didn't give up, he touched the dark carefully in the room again, and always felt that the only exit should be on this window, but Chen Shuangjiang tried countless times, this one is equipped with a very strong wooden fence, which is not something that Chen Shuangjiang can shake at all.

Chen Shuangchuan was not disappointed, but felt that his prospect seemed to be shrouded in this wind and rain, and he could not see any light in the shaky darkness.

Suddenly, a snow-white face drenched in the rain appeared outside the window, and said quietly: "Mrs. He, right?" No mistakes, not a lot of words"

This scene was too terrifying, for a moment, Chen Shuangchuan thought that a powerful ghost had appeared, and almost didn't scare her soul out, and there was still a trace of reason, thinking that she couldn't lead people over, so she quickly covered her mouth. There was only a short scream, but fortunately the wind and rain quickly dissipated.

"You stand a little bit while I sawn this window open." As he spoke, the man took a small carpentry saw and began sawing the wooden fences on the windows.

"These pirates were instructed by someone, and one of them liked to come to our shop to buy vegetables, and Chunyan happened to hear some of them, and I didn't know who they were talking about, but then the news came, and we were really surprised."

"You are ......" Speaking of Chunyan, Chen Shuangchuan finally guessed who this person was, Chunyan's husband, the chicken vendor who met twice a long time ago, although he didn't remember much about his appearance, but looking at his optimistic smile with dimples, Chen Shuangchuan began to have some familiar feelings.

"I've been walking around here for days, and I haven't found a chance, but that day I saw something thrown out here, and I thought it should be here, so it was easy to wait until today."

The chicken vendor carefully sawed the wooden fence and told Chen Shuangchuan what had happened. There is no special reason, it's just that I've been in Duqiao County for a long time, and I've heard a little about this pirate, so I propped up the family's boat and walked around. Sure enough, he found the location of Chen Shuangxia, but there were usually pirates coming and going on the side, and only on such a windy and rainy day did he venture to climb up from the small cliff behind him.

"Chunyan is so anxious, she always says, she is sorry for you, grandma is good to her, just like a sister, I only went on this trip for her."

Chen Shuangchuan was a little silent, and he didn't know what kind of mood he was in for a while, but he didn't expect it to be just such a forced thing, but Chunyan has been feeling guilty until now, and Chen Shuangchuan himself would rather not want to because he felt uncomfortable, he just forgot it, and he had never been this person.

Although she knew that this person was risking a U-turn to save her, Chen Shuangchuan was a little reluctant to go, but she would not pretentiously say, please leave me alone, just because Chen Shuangchuan didn't want to die, she wanted to escape from here and live well.

Taking advantage of the time when the chicken seller was sawing the wooden fence, Chen Shuangchuan hurriedly cleaned up himself neatly to facilitate his movement, because he couldn't find clothes to protect himself from the rain, Chen Shuangchuan simply took off his cotton jacket, otherwise such a big wind and rain would be too heavy to walk when he was soaked.

Chen Shuangchuan was quickly ready, but the wooden fence was very strong, and it was not easy to see it, and it would be sawed for a while. Chen Shuangchuan only felt that it was like a saw in his heart, he was afraid of being discovered, he was afraid of the saw, and he was afraid that the person would leave her and run away, so he was very confused, and he almost couldn't sit still, so he could only take the few nests that he hadn't had time to eat at night, and stuffed them into his mouth little by little, always eating to have the strength to escape.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a slight click, and Chen Shuangchuan jumped up almost immediately, and threw himself into the window to see that the chicken vendor was breaking the sawn fence and barely allowing people to pass.

Moved the empty water tank and stepped on the height, and the chicken vendor pulled his arm off violently outside, scratching the layer of oily skin, and actually forced her to squeeze out.

As soon as Chen Shuangchuan wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the wind and rain rushed towards him, choking Chen Shuangchuan and only coughing.

The wind and rain were too strong, and the chicken vendor could only talk as close to Chen Shuang's ear as possible: "I put the rope, there is a cliff here, be careful and follow me, you can swim, there are many reefs here, and the boat can't get in." ”

Swim...... Although she grew up at the beach since she was a child, Chen Shuangchuan is always a girl, and it is not good to toss in the water like a boy, basically she has never been in the water, swimming, and she has seen a lot, but Chen Shuangchuan has never tried it. But since things have come to this point, even if they think that they won't, there is no way, Chen Shuangchuan just nodded and said, "I will always swim when the time comes." ”

When turning the corner, the wind and rain are completely oncoming, as if they are about to blow people away, and just following forward is already exhausting, and it is impossible to speak.

Almost two steps back, and with great difficulty to the edge of the cliff, the chicken seller stopped and pointed to a tree on the side, and a rope was firmly tied to the root of the tree, which he had prepared when he came up.

Without much nonsense, the chicken vendor took the lead and grabbed the rope and climbed down.

Carefully glanced down, although this cliff is not high, but there are rocks below, if you accidentally fall down, it must be no bones, Chen Shuangchuan only felt that his heart trembled, and his hands and feet were a little weak. Seeing that the chicken vendor was almost at the end, Chen Shuangchuan could only bite his teeth, tear the skirt, wrap it around his palm, grab the rope and crawl down.

After all, Chen Shuangchuan's strength is small, this rope is soaked in water and it is very slippery, after a while, Chen Shuangchuan can't catch it, almost didn't fall down, slid his hand several times, Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but look down, more and more afraid, simply closed his eyes, slightly let go, the person slipped down all of a sudden, the palm of the hand had already been worn out of blood, stinging pain.

But I finally got to the ground safely, and I didn't have to walk a few steps to see the sea, which was still near the shore, and the waves were rolled up more than one person high, and it looked very terrifying.

With such a strong wind and waves, not to mention that Chen Shuangshui can't swim, even if the water is a little worse, he is afraid that he will be swept back and shattered on the rocks, no wonder the pirates went back to sleep with confidence, and no one patrolled outside.

Will you really be able to get out alive? Even Chen Shuangchuan began to be suspicious.

The chicken vendor tugged at Chen Shuang's sleeve, pointed to a reef not far away, and led her there.

The sea water here is still shallow, the coast is also flat, only just arrived at Chen Shuang's knees, wading for a while, Chen Shuangchuan just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and before he could react, he was directly covered by the seawater, and choked several mouthfuls of water at once.

The chicken vendor turned around by chance, only to see an empty sea, and waited for a while and didn't see anyone, so he reacted and quickly dived into the water to save people. It's just that it was windy and rainy, and the chicken vendor also changed several breaths in a row to find Chen Shuangchuan, grabbed Chen Shuangchuan's arm and took it up, and took Chen Shuang down to the reef with great effort, only to feel that he didn't even have the strength to turn over on the boat, so he could only climb the stone and gasp for breath for a long time.

After such a long time, this piece of wind and rain seems to have begun to subside, and it slowly began to lighten, but the sky is slightly revealing a glimmer of light, and the sky is almost bright.

There was no time to toss here, so he quickly lowered Chen Shuang to the top of the boat, and the chicken seller also turned over with difficulty, untied the reins, and took advantage of the rain to sail out quietly.

This small boat swayed in the wind and rain for a long time, and finally found the right direction and finally returned to Duqiao County.

When he was at the wharf, the chicken seller said goodbye to Chen Shuangchuan and said: "It was originally for Chunyan, and you are also kind to our husband and wife, so if you pay it back, you don't have to worry about it." ”

It's just a little thing, but they have been thinking about it until now, Chen Shuangchuan doesn't know what he feels in his heart, so he can only say: "Although I don't thank you for my great kindness, I still thank you." ”

Don't be a chicken seller, I finally got home, and I found that there was a gloomy cloud, He Jue rushed over and hugged Chen Shuang's feet and called his mother for a long time, and cried again: "Dad, dad is gone......"

Chen Caichun was calmer, seeing that Chen Shuang had frozen all night, her lips were already white, and her teeth were chattering involuntarily, so she quickly took the two children who were crying so much that she couldn't help herself, and quickly burned ginger soup and poured two bowls of Chen Shuangchuan full, and then soaked her in hot water and took medicine to wipe it.

Chen Shuangchuan also thought that why Jinbao disappeared because of the time he encountered pirates, and when he saw Chunhong, he knew that He Jinbao had come back that time, and when he saw that Chen Shuangchuan did not come back, he went out to look for her every day, who would have thought that one day he did not come back, and even Guo Wuyan, who went out to look for him later, also disappeared, and only found a bloodstain on the coast, I am afraid that something will happen.
