Chapter 57: The Salted Fish Lady
In the cockpit, the bearded man held the helm while talking to Wang Ling, and from his mouth, Wang Ling learned that these people were indeed pirates, and now he was going to take them to his territory. From time to time, he turned his head to look at Zheng Jiuwu, who was learning sailing skills from his brother, and told Wang Ling that this man was very strong.
"My name is Sha Kun, and I'm the captain of that boat," he said, pointing to the boat in front of him, "There are very few Chinese fishing boats on this road, and I believe you are lost, but I guess the salted fish lady is very interested in meeting you Chinese." ”
"Salted Fish Boss?" Wang Ling felt that he had never heard of this name, and he asked, "Is it a fish seller?" ”
"No, she's our boss," Sha Kun said as he sipped his wine, "You still have time, now think about how to explain the origin of this boat to her later, I guess you must not be an ordinary fisherman, tsk, Wufeng Banner, a pirate legend that hasn't appeared for many years......"
The ship reached a small fishing port before dark, and the harbor was filled with steamers of all kinds, large and small, and the bearded sailing skills were good, and the sailing ships were safely pulled aside. There was a naked little boy on the dock, and as soon as Sha Kun shouted at him, the boy ran away, and after a short time a large crowd came, speaking a strange language, and soon they put the old skin on the stretcher.
Wang Ling and the others naturally wanted to follow, but Sha Kun did not allow it, he said that he would take them to see the old lady salted fish, and in a commanding tone. At this point, it was impossible for you to think of what you were doing, and they were escorted off the sailboat like prisoners, and many children followed them along the way, and all the children here were dressed and walked on the sand as if they were walking on the sandy road.
It can be seen that this is a small fishing village, the air is filled with salty and wet smell and strong fishy smell, Sha Kun is very familiar with everyone here, everyone greets him very friendly, and also looks like Wang Ling and others cast vigilant eyes.
The houses here are made of simple wooden planks and covered with several layers of palm leaves, and the structure is very similar to the stilted buildings in Yunnan. They were taken into a stilted building, and Sha Kun said that he was going to see the old lady salted fish, and let them wait here, and Lao Pi would naturally be healed.
"Don't run around," Sha Kun pointed to the pistol he was wearing on his waist, and then grinned with an ugly smile, "It's dangerous here!" ”
Soon after Sha Kun left, a woman brought food and water, a slimy-looking thing wrapped in banana leaves, which smelled good, but there were no chopsticks. The woman had been standing beside her, she saw that these "guests" did not touch the food, as if she was in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at the stall while making a gesture of sending it to her mouth, then Wang Ling understood and said: "This should be pilaf, everyone is hungry, hurry up and eat, I think since that Shakun brought us, he shouldn't be able to do anything in the food." ”
The group of people who were already hungry and dizzy saw Wang Ling starting, where could they still take care of the image, and after a while, the strange bag of food was divided up, and even the girls were full of greasy, looking at the lady who was snickering again and again, which made Li Xin and them a little embarrassed......
Sha Kun came back about two hours later, and he brought two pieces of news, one was that the salted fish lady wanted to see Wang Ling and Zheng Jiuwu, and the second was that Lao Pi was no longer in trouble.
In a seemingly very simple room, full of all kinds of advanced equipment, a foreigner in a white coat walked out of the back room and nodded to Sha Kun. Sha Kun introduced that this was a doctor, an American, and when they walked into the back room, they found that it was a well-renovated ward, with everything from oxygen to cardiopulmonary monitoring, and the rumbling sound of the engine came from under the room.
"That's a diesel generator." Sha Kun looked at their doubts and said, "He will be well healed." ”
Lao Pi is still unconscious, and there is even a special nurse here, so it seems that Sha Kun cares a lot about his promise. This also surprised Wang Ling, similar medical conditions are probably only available in provincial hospitals, and he is still a foreign doctor, and those instruments are crooked foreign characters, and at a glance he knows that they are high-end imports, all of which are really incompatible with this ordinary fishing village.
This was the largest house Wang Ling had ever seen in the fishing village, it had three floors, and unlike those simple wooden buildings, it was a pillbox with machine gun shooting holes, but Sha Kun's words made Wang Ling nervous. He said that there was a rule for people who came here, they had to be blindfolded, because all the outsiders who had seen the salted fish lady with their own eyes were dead, and he specially explained that he and Zheng Jiuwu could not take off the mask in the middle of the way.
After that, the two of them were put on black hoods, like hostages taken in the movie, and someone was guiding them in front. Through this black hood, a little light can be faintly seen, Wang Ling only feels that they have been turning all the time, a while to the left, a while to the right, after a few back and forth, they can't distinguish the direction, I don't know if this terrain is really so complicated or they deliberately did it, what is the origin of that salted fish old lady?
After walking around for about twenty minutes, they finally stopped, and someone arranged a chair, and when the two sat down, they only heard a hoarse female voice say something in an incomprehensible language, and then the hoods of the two were taken off, and there was a sound of footsteps retreating in their ears. At this time, Wang Ling still remembered Sha Kun's confession, he always kept his eyes closed when the hood was removed, God knows if these people would just find a reason to throw them into the sea to feed the sharks?
When the surroundings were quiet and could not be quiet, a woman's voice flickered: "You are Chinese?" ”
This is a fairly standard Chinese, much stronger than Sha Kun's half-hanged man, Wang Ling was stunned: "Yes, we are from China, just ordinary fishermen, and we happened to be saved by your people when we encountered a storm, may I ask what advice does the salted fish old lady have for us?" "He doesn't look like an old lady when he hears that voice, or maybe the cultured person is that person's entourage, aren't all the big guys like this?
"You're not fishermen," the woman said, "tell me, what's the matter with this flag?" ”
"Flag?" Wang Ling thought about it, I was afraid that it was the flag that Sha Kun found in the cabin, he didn't know what it was, but he didn't know how to answer for a while, for fear that if he was wrong, his life would be lost, and when he was hesitating, the woman didn't know when she had walked up to him and gently raised his chin, and said softly: "Open your eyes and look at me!" ”
Wang Ling shook his head desperately and said, "Don't dare, there are rules here......"
"I'll let you open it!" The voice began to become a little harsh, but Wang Ling continued to insist: "Everyone who sees the salted fish lady has to die......"
......After a chuckle, the woman said, "Did I tell you that the salted fish lady is here?" ”
"Are you ......" Wang Ling paused and didn't dare to ask any more, and the woman continued: "Do you know why there is the title of Salted Fish Lady? Come, let me tell you, because the salted fish lady likes to eat salted fish and never brushes her teeth, so her mouth is full of fishy smell, do you smell fishy here? ”
"Then you are ......"
"It doesn't matter who I am, my patience is bad." After that, Wang Ling felt that there was a cold thing on the top of his head, and a faint smell of gunpowder gradually dissipated, he had to open his eyes to see, the surrounding side was pitch black, and the shadow of a person in front of him retreated slightly, and then something seemed to come towards his face, and he felt it with his hand It should be a piece of cloth.
"Wufeng Banner, where did it come from?" The woman said, "If you can't speak clearly today, you, and your friends, will never see the sun." ”
"I don't know what the five-peak flag is," Wang Ling said, "that boat was picked up by us, our boat was destroyed by a storm, and this boat was found on a small island, didn't Sha Kun tell you that we don't even know how to control that boat?" He helped drive all the way back. ”
"The Five Peaks Banner is Wang Zhi's fleet mark! Hundreds of years ago, his fleet was wiped out, and no one had seen it again. That ship used to belong to Wangzhi's fleet, and you have to tell me honestly where you got it. ”
"I ......" Wang Ling wanted to talk about Xuanwu Island at this time, he thought that Lao Xing was not a good bird anyway, so he simply guided Sha Kun, a group of serious pirates, and he could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. But at this time, Zheng Jiuwu on the side preemptively said: "We really don't know the exact location of that island, we don't know how to sail, but the educated youth who came to the beach in response to the call of the country could only fiddle with a sampan and catch some fish in the offshore water." This vast sea looks the same everywhere, and you can't even tell the direction, if you want the boat to take it, I just have a request, can you borrow a radio to use it, we have been missing for a long time at sea, and our family is very anxious and wants to report safety. ”
"Educated youth?" The woman laughed twice and said, "I heard that you are very capable of fighting, you are a soldier from the mainland, so you came here to spy on intelligence, and then tell your organization?" Don't dream, let me tell you, this is located at the junction of Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Chinese mainland, it is a three-way zone, known as the golden triangle of the sea, since you come, don't think about it so easily! ”
