Chapter 229: Investigation
Xiang Lu and Agashi put on makeup, went out of the house together, and saw the old man in the courtyard.
"Old man, I would like to ask what is the name of the island not far from the sea? How can it be passed. ”
When the old man saw his master and servant, he thought of the incident of last night, cast a strange look, and said: "I can't go now, it was okay three years ago, but I don't know what strange things have happened in the past two or three years, as long as someone sails to the island, when he is about to get close, he is knocked over by something, and he also falls into the sea and dies." From then on, we people no longer dared to go to the island. ”
"Oh! Is it true that none of the old man came to that island? ”
"Don't hide from you, there is a ghost ship on that island at night, and then it stays for a while, and then leaves, and when it leaves, it is burning with a green fire!"
When Xiang Lu heard this, he thought that he had seen it with his own eyes last night, and asked, "Is there really no one who has been there again?" ”
"No, I've lived here for decades and I've been looking at the sea. There used to be a lot of ships coming and going, and I could see that since three years ago there were a dozen big ships sailing by, there haven't been any. ”
"A dozen big ships?"
"Yes! Three years ago, more than a dozen very large ships sailed to that island at night, but none of them came back, so they must have all become ghost ships! Don't say that the ghost ship really looks like a dozen missing ships. ”
After listening to this, Xiang Lu fell into thought. Agashi said, "Old man, how do you get food around here?" ”
"It's easy to do, go to the beach and catch crabs by yourself! I have oil, salt, sauce and vinegar here, you can make it yourself. Don't be too troublesome, just go to the county seat a few miles away. ”
When Agashi heard this, he pulled Xiang Lu and said, "Let's go, go to the beach." ”
When the old man saw the servant squirming and pestering the merchant, his face was very calm, and he thought to himself: You two men are really not ashamed.
Xiang Lu was pulled up by Agassi and went to the beach, Agassi was very excited when he saw the sea, and suddenly took off his shoes and socks and walked on the beach.
Xiang Lu was reluctant to go into the water, so he watched Agassi pick up food from the side.
Agashi picked up a lot of shellfish and crabs, and rushed to Lu happily, saying, "Sir, you see there are so many things to eat!" I can't even pick it up, but I guess I can eat dozens of people. ”
Xiang Lu looked at Agashi with an innocent and cute appearance, although the beard made her look manly, but the cuteness was still revealed.
"There are so many fish, shrimp and crabs! Let's go back and cook! Xiang Lu said, "Wait, there are a lot of fish, shrimp and crabs here, and they are very sufficient, so there should be more near Ghost Island!" ”
Xiang Lu thought carefully about the old man's words, and looked at the scene in front of him, and the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger.
"It seems that you have to go to the island to see it, but the old man said that if you get close to the island, the boat will be knocked over, so you can't go up at all. So what to do? ”
Agashi carried a basket of fish, shrimp and crabs, pulled Xiang Lu, and said, "Go, go back!" ”
When they returned, the old man and Agashi cooked a table of meals together, all seafood.
Xiang Lu was still distracted, absentmindedly picked up a crab, ate it in his mouth, took a bite, and put it in his mouth.
Seeing that Xiang Lu had been holding a crab in his mouth, Agashi said, "What are you doing!" ”
As he spoke, Agashi took Xiang Lu's hand and helped him pull out the rest of the crabs.
When the old man saw this, he panicked for a while, and thought: Really, the world is going down, the world is going down!
Suddenly, Xiang Lu slapped the table and said, "I see, it looks like I have to intercept that ghost ship halfway!" ”
Agashi and the old man were taken aback, and Agashi said, "What are you doing?" Scary. ”
Xiang Lu said: "Thank you for the hospitality, the servant and I will leave today." ”
"What to go? I haven't had enough of it! ”
When the old man heard this, he thought to himself: You two dragon and yang addicts can go, I want to drive you away.
