"Is there any water?" A cold voice suddenly sounded, at this time Wang Ling was leaning on the ground in a daze, he heard the shout, turned his head and was immediately stunned, only to see a person standing by the hatch leaning on the door frame and drooping his head.

"I'm a little thirsty, do you have water?" The man asked again, and Wang Ling turned around and looked to the other side, the huge silhouette of the ship was still floating quietly, but the side of the ship, which was still bustling with activity, was empty. Wang Ling turned his head again to look, the dim chandelier in the cabin went up and down with the undulating water, and the man's face was really visible, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and his scalp immediately stood up with a "whoosh". Holding the wooden plank on his back with both hands, Wang Ling moved his legs that had collapsed on the ground while staring at the man, and suddenly a spirit rushed up, as if he had been electrocuted, and rushed out frantically......

On the side of the ship, Wang Ling then faintly saw a figure crossing the side of the huge ship, leaving an afterimage of him with only one long leg left, "Li Mubai!" He trembled and shouted loudly to the remnant, how he wished that the man would hear his cry and turn in response, but unfortunately he did not wait for the poet's familiar face. By the time he turned to look at the cabin again, it was empty!

Realizing that something seemed to have happened, Wang Ling rushed back with an arrow step, and he rushed out of the cabin to the other floor in a few steps, because he rushed too quickly, he pulled the door frame with his hand and barely stopped, but threw half of his body out again. This threw out and looked, the back in front of him was walking slowly towards the deck, the sea breeze was blowing, the lights flickering on the deck made him see clearly, and the back of the man held a slender shadow.

Wang Ji is engaged in the sale of incense for the dead, and Wang Ling has heard such a saying, saying that if you see someone walking under the light but there is no shadow, then that "person" is not a person, but something else. At least now it seems that this guy is a "person", so he lowered his voice and shouted: "Lao Zheng? ”

Sure enough, the man stopped, he paused, shook his head, and planned to continue walking, Zheng Jiuwu himself still felt strange? Isn't it just asking you for a drink of water, it's like a hell of a life, he thinks that Wang Ling may still have a lot of knots in his heart, he has always been unwilling to talk or meddle in things, thinking about whether to let him calm down......

Seeing that he didn't stop, Wang Ling said in an extremely trembling voice towards the back: "Lao Zheng, is it you?" ”

The sound that people make when they are afraid is a little different, it will carry obvious trembling and insecure helplessness, Zheng Jiuwu heard the problem, he finally stopped, and when he looked back at Wang Ling, he saw that his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and then he looked at the boat parked beside him, and he also realized that something seemed to have happened.

"Don't be afraid, it's me, what's wrong?"

"You," Wang Ling confirmed that it was him, the trace of fear in his heart had not completely disappeared, he still held on to the door frame and said, "Lao Zheng, didn't you get on that boat just now?" ”

"Boat?" Zheng Jiuwu glanced at the big black guy again, then shook his head and said, "I've been anchoring with Ah Da all the time, and I just thought about going to you to find some water when I was a little thirsty, did they all go up?" ”

"I'm ......" Wang Ling wanted to speak and stopped, he didn't know how to express it, but he was sure that the person he had just seen was indeed Zheng Jiuwu, although he was a little confused all day, but he was sure that Sha Kun was the first to go up, and then someone followed the boat with great speed after Sha Kun shouted the sentence "found". The few people who live together day and night have long been familiar enough to judge each other's identities just by listening to their footsteps, so Wang Ling is sure that he is definitely not wrong!

"I seem to have seen you go up just now, really," Wang Ling said with some mismarks, "I mean you are the second to go up on our boat, I saw it with my own eyes!" Have you come down again? ”

"How many went up?" "One, two......" Wang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "If you add that person, seven will go up!" ”

"But now there are three people on the ship, me, you and Ah Da!" At this time, Ah Da at the stern of the ship also stood up, Wang Ling saw it clearly, it was indeed Ah Da, but there were only nine people on this undead from beginning to end, when did there be one more person? And judging from the back, that person is almost completely similar to Zheng Jiuwu!

"Don't panic!" Zheng Jiuwu said: "Don't mess around at this time, I confirm that there has never been an extra person on our boat, and I also believe that you did see one more person, we don't care who that person is, I plan to go up and take a look at this boat alone." ”

"I'll go with you!" Wang Ling felt furious when he thought of that figure, this extra person out of thin air was not a good sign, he turned back to the cabin, where he took a flashlight, and when he was about to go out, he saw Sha Kun's pistol resting on the bridge, he hesitated for a moment and then picked it up and pinned it behind him, this is also the first time Wang Ling took a gun, because he really smelled danger.

The height of the grid hanging down is just close to the side of the "Dead", and it only needs to stand on the side of the ship and exert a slight force to be able to get it, Zheng Jiuwu glanced up and then said to Wang Ling: "Do you think that an old ship that has been floating on the sea for hundreds of years will really let us meet it so coincidentally?" Even if it encountered, it happened to be given a climbing net at this height, and this net didn't know what material it was made of, and it was okay to soak in this sea for so many years? ”

When Wang Ling heard his words, he was a little unhappy in his heart: "Since you know that there will be problems, why don't you stop them?" ”

"Do you think it's useful to stop you?" Zheng Jiuwu said again: "This is obviously waiting here, I don't know if it's waiting for you or waiting for us, just like you originally planned to stay out of the matter, but it's not because a shadow has mixed yourself in again." With that, he jumped on the boarding net, and then leaned sideways and stretched out his hand to Wang Ling and said: "Since you are the captain of the ship, you should take responsibility for the safety of the whole ship, fight like a man, face it, what can you solve by evading?" You can do better, why not try! ”

After many days, Wang Ling once again stretched out his palm to his companion, and with a hard pull, his body jumped, and the moment he stood on the boarding net, he felt that he had come to life. Everyone has a cowardly side, no one has ever been born strong, and after going through so much, he felt that he could feel that his muscles were strong, his mind was clear, his breathing was smooth, and his eyes that were always misty became extremely firm when he looked at the high side of the ship overhead.

He and Zheng Jiuwu glanced at each other, and the latter gave him a signal of encouragement, and the two began to quickly climb up the boarding net, and the moment they crossed the side of the ship, Wang Ling glanced down at his own boat. Under the mast, Ah Da was watching them, and there was a picture of himself sitting in the cabin ten minutes ago with a decadent face......

Crossing the side of the ship, Wang Ling didn't see his familiar face standing on the deck, he was about to turn on the flashlight but was held down by Zheng Jiuwuyi, he whispered: "Shhh, don't move yet, I smell an ominous smell." ”

"It's too quiet," Wang Ling said, "what about them?" ”

It was not dark on this deck, about ten meters to the left of their boarding position, there was a forerod in the center, and on the pole hung a kerosene lamp, the black lampshade showed a dappled pale yellow light, and on the crossbar where the lampshade hung stood a large black bird, which gently shook its fat body.

"Sea Owl!" Wang Ling recognized the name of this bird at a glance, it was a somewhat notorious bird, and those who went out to sea did not want to see it, because this bird only feeds on carrion, and it is always inadvertently associated with death, it is an absolutely ominous thing!
