Chapter Twenty-Three: Pirates in the South Seas
It was night, the wind was light and the stars were sparse, and a crescent moon was obscured by black. On the Cape Island of the South China Sea, Liu Qingfeng took Lin Hong and the two to wait outside the exquisite house.
Liu Yifeng took the green light ring and handed it to her master. Her master is only about forty, although the years have left traces, but the charm still exists, and she must have been a Peugeot beauty when she was young.
The middle-aged beautiful woman picked up the ring, looked at it for a long time, and muttered: "Is this fate, I have seen countless jewels, looking for this green light ring, I don't want him to find it." ”
Liu Yifeng said strangely: "Master, which one, Lin Hong?" The middle-aged beauty whispered and scolded: "Mouthy! ”
Lin Hong and Adam were outside the house here, and they didn't know what was going on inside. I just felt that the weather was getting cooler, and I was long-winded.
The middle-aged beautiful woman is Gongsun Ziniang, who has been engaged in the jewelry business in the South China Sea for many years, but she has rarely appeared in recent years, and the business is mostly managed by her lover Liu Yifeng. Gongsun Ziniang loves purple, so the lover naturally likes purple too.
After Gongsun Ziniang looked at the ring, she said, "This ring doesn't belong to me, I'm just helping her find it." Now that I've got it, I'm wondering if I should tell her. ”
Liu Yifeng was puzzled: "Master, which one is he?" I don't understand. ”
Gongsun Ziniang looked at Liu Yifeng, who was suspicious, touched her hair, and said, "Child, you are still young, and there are many things in this world that I don't understand." ”
Only then did Liu Yifeng think that Lin Hong and the others were still standing outside the house, and asked, "Master, what should I do with those two people outside, do you want to send them away?" ”
Gongsun Ziniang said: "These two have nothing to do with me, but they may be related to her." You let them go back to the other side. Of course, she had something else to say.
Liu Yifeng thought of next week's jewelry business, so he asked, "Master, let me report to you, next week's jewelry business will also start to prepare." ”
Gongsun Ziniang nodded and turned around. "Okay, I got it. You go get busy. "Okay, then I'll go out, master."
At this time, although the wind was light, it was blowing a chill. Liu Yifeng conveyed the master's meaning to Lin Hong, and asked Lin Hong and them to return to the town.
Lin Hong said: "I'll go back like this, this matter is not over yet." I promise to hand it over to the designated person, who does not seem to be your master. It's someone else. ”
Liu Yifeng glanced at Lin Hong and said, "You're smart, right, you know others, what are you doing with me?" Lin Hong saw that Liu Yifeng was a little angry and said: "I am entrusted by people and loyal to people." The old man said that when the ring is handed over to the woman of the South Sea, she will definitely give me something. I'm just going home empty-handed? ”
Liu Yifeng waved her hair and was a little angry: "You want to be paid, right?" I tell you, no! Liu Yi's pretty face looked heroic and a little disdainful.
Before Lin Hong could speak, Adam said in a round: "Brother Lin, he didn't mean that, and besides, this thing is money, not necessarily." Then Adam turned to Lin Hong and said, "Brother Lin, there will be a jewel boat next week, are you interested in coming up and getting a handful?" ”
Lin Hong saw that Liu Yifeng was a little angry, and when he heard Adam say this, he shook his head: "I don't have any interest in these transactions. I just want to find the real person who belongs to the ring. ”
Liu Yifeng said impatiently: "You are still verbose. My master should know the person you are talking about, but my master and her old man won't see you, so let's go. ”
Ah Dang begged now: "Miss Liu, you can help this Brother Lin." He was not only a good man, but also a faithful man. Liu Yifeng saw this situation and said: "Unless you can use some method to impress my master, I think you are in vain!" ”
Lin Hong felt a little hopeful at this time, and said with a smile: "Okay, Miss Liu, I humbly ask you for advice." ”
Liu Yifeng looked at Lin Hong with a smile, still so disdainful, stared at Lin Hong and said, "You are trouble!" Tell you, don't ask me, I can't think of it right now! ”
At this time, Dang remembered next week's jewelry transaction, so he said: "Isn't there a job next week, let Brother Lin also go, be your bodyguard along the way, and then think about it slowly, you can come up with it." After speaking, Adam looked at Liu Yifeng, as if begging her.
Liu Yifeng snorted and said coldly: "After running for the past few years, the merchant ships I led have never thought about any storms, do you still need him to protect them?" Lin Hong smiled: "I won't trouble you, I also want to see your style across the sea." ”
Liu Yifeng said: "The sea is very stormy, there may be pirates, do you have the courage." ”
When Lin Hong heard this, he knew that Liu Yifeng had agreed, and nodded vigorously: "There is Miss Liu leading the team, and if you are still afraid of any wind and waves pirates, you will all beat them down." Liu Yifeng said angrily: "Poor mouth! ”
Above the waves, the wind and waves surged, and the mast of the merchant ship was embroidered with the golden character "Gongsun" to wave in the wind. The merchant ship has been on the sea for a day, and on the bow of the ship stands a straight and tall woman, with apricot eyes slightly closed, tied in a ponytail, and clasped hands, it is Liu Yifeng. Seeing this outfit, Adang couldn't help but praise: "Miss Liu, she has good martial arts, wit, and business acumen, she is really a genius." ”
Liu Yifeng opened his eyes slightly, didn't look back, and said: "If there are any good words, after saying it, don't say half and leave half!" Ah Dang laughed, coughed, looked at Lin Hong and said, "It's your turn." Lin Hongqi said: "What should I be."
Dang said to Lin Hong: "Don't you understand, I just deliberately left half a sentence for you to praise the captain." ”
Lin Hong took a look and said, "Oh, yes! I was thinking about words just now. Miss Liu is not only martial arts, witty, smart, but more importantly, beautiful. I think that on this turquoise ocean, no one can compare to Miss Liu's beauty. ”
Adam said: "No, no, no! That's not all. Not only on this ocean, it should be said that looking at this world, who else can compare to our Liu girl! ”
Liu Yifeng snorted and slowly turned around: "Although it's flattery, I like to listen to it!" Then she turned around and looked out at the sea, and the sea breeze blew her hair and cloak up, which was really chic.
Lin Hong's mood at this time also fluctuated with the blue waves, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, and there was no news of Wu Rongdai. wondered if Wu Rongdai really didn't dare to see him, or if his father put him under house arrest. But in this era of advanced information, it shouldn't be impossible to keep in touch. Lin Hong contacted Wu Rongming, but they were all fragmented, and they didn't know how to deal with things.
When Lin Hong thought of this, he couldn't help but feel more and more painful. If you like someone, you can't forget it if you want to; If you fall in love with someone, you can't break it if you want to. Love is this kind of thing, for thousands of years, countless people have been obsessed with it and crazy about it, and even some people have given their lives to get love.
Whining! Woooooo There was the sound of conch in the distance, and it came one after another.
An elderly seaman stood on the board of the ship and exclaimed loudly: "Miss Liu, look at Yangbu, is it a pirate?" "That yang is a code word, a black word on the sea, which means the south. The inverted is the east, the cut is the west, and the dense is the north.
Liu Yifeng was also shocked in his heart, although he had dealt with pirates, but it was a long time ago. This whining conch sound is only found on pirate ships. Shouting: "Everyone, be careful! It's not that they're old scumbags, or they are grabbing goods, they all pay attention! "This old scum refers to human trafficking, killing people and stealing goods.
After a while, the ship to the south approached, and the black flag skeleton on the mast of the ship stood out. On the bow of the ship stood a middle-aged black-faced man, with a disheveled head, holding a sharp knife in his hand, and shouted to this side: "The fire cave is turning around, stay and pick up your life!" "This fire hole is also a sea slang, which means to make a lot of money.
Liu Yifeng was furious, thinking that he was afraid that these dozens of pirates would not succeed. He immediately took out the thin whip in his hand, stood proudly on the side of the ship, and said, "You have to ask if my long whip agrees?" With that, he swept over with a whip in his right hand, only to hear a clang, and the upturned wooden beast head on the opposite side was shattered.
The black-faced man shouted: "Hula, Hula! Feed me the black medicine. Lin Hong was about to step forward to help, but he saw more than ten people around the black-faced man holding spears and aiming towards this side. The black-faced man shouted, "The little girl is good, you can stay as a boat man." ”
Liu Yifeng was furious, the long whip shook in, flew over the pirate ship board, and shouted, "Lin Hong hasn't come over to help!" Almost at the same time, Lin Hong also jumped onto the board of the ship, standing on Liu Yifeng's side and preparing for battle. But when I saw the rows of spears, I was also terrified in my heart, even if I had Tianluo Wuyi to protect me, I could barely protect myself.
Several pirates climbed onto the merchant ship from the side and controlled the seamen. Liu Yifeng said: "I was careless, and I let you succeed." The black-faced man said: "We have already known your whereabouts, and we let you run away the first few times, but you can't be lucky every time, hehe." ”
Liu Yifeng said: "I want money, let's tell you, we don't have money!" ”
The black-faced big man said senran: "No money, why are you going to take the merchant ship?" Think of us as a trickster, right? ”
Liu Yifeng shouted: "What's Wan'er, if you draw it down, I'll take it." ”
The black-faced man said, "My people have already searched for it." If you don't have any money, you can stay and let the others go. Liu Yifeng said proudly: "Impossible! ”
The black-faced man shouted, "Did you find it?" The searching pirate replied, "Captain of the ship, there is only food and water on board, and there is no cargo." The black-faced man smiled: "Since there is no goods, I can't say it, you have to stay, uncle, I will make you comfortable." ”
Liu Yifeng took a sip and said, "I want your life!" ”
Lin Hong hurriedly prepared to stop Liu Yifeng. After a few gunshots, I saw Lin Hong blocking Liu Yifeng in front of him, and he was in great pain. The black-faced sweat shouted: "Good boy, Lao Tzu called you a hero to save the beauty!" ”
Lin Hong was shot, although he had the armor in his body to protect his body, but the force of the bullet impact was not small, and the pain was naturally inevitable. Although Lin Hong blocked it, Liu Yifeng was still shot, and his calf and abdomen were bleeding nonstop. Lin Hong hugged Liu Yifeng and flew back to the merchant ship to put down Liu Yifeng. These few moves, I was stunned when I saw the black face sweating, why could Lin Hong still move freely after being shot.
The black-faced man knew that he was not an opponent and motioned for the pirate ship to leave. Lin Hong was about to settle accounts with the black-faced man, but he saw Liu Yifeng's forehead sweating, and he said bitterly: "Brother Lin, I... Lin Hong motioned to Liu Yifeng to remain silent.
Only a "boom" was heard, and the merchant ship was deafening. It turned out that the black-faced pirate knew that he had met a master, and when he saw that the other party was injured, he immediately sailed away, and bombarded the merchant ship with side guns.
Lin Hong was furious: "These bastards, I ended up with him in the past!" Liu Yifeng's calf was still bleeding, and said, "Brother Lin, don't, protect the seafarers and evacuate." Adam shouted, "Let's put the life-saving board!" ”
As he was talking, there was another "boom". The merchant ship was struck in three sections and was sinking. Lin Hong couldn't care about revenge, picked up Liu Yifeng, and swam to a life raft.
