Chapter 969: Night Rise

"Yikes!" Haimei looked at the screen of her mobile phone and suddenly shouted, "Iβ€”I'm really being put in-" Her face was very frightened, and she pointed to her phone and said, "Brother, you, you let me out-huh?" She suddenly saw her outstretched arm, and then she reacted, touched her whole body, pinched her beautiful face, and said in a panic: "No, no, since I'm there, but, but who is standing here now?" ”

"......" Brother Mu was speechless, feeling that this little girl's thinking was the same as Hong Shouyou's.

"Brother, you, you give it back to me-" Hai Mei was so anxious that her eyes were red, and she pointed to the tip of her nose again, "Again, get her away..."

Brother Mu had nothing to say, he wanted to deceive the little girl to say something, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, but he stabbed the hornet's nest, seeing that Haimei's tears really flowed down, Brother Mu hurriedly explained, saying that this is a painting, but the painting is fast and like, don't believe it, I said, I took another picture of myself, and then sent it to the little girl, she repeatedly looked at Brother Mu and then looked at the screen, sobbing and said: "This painting is better than me..."

Brother Mu was speechless again.

Haimei finally stopped crying under Brother Mu's patient explanation, the little girl's face changed really fast, the tears in the corners of her eyes hadn't dried yet, she had already snatched Brother Mu's mobile phone again, carefully facing the flowers and trees, learning from Brother Mu's appearance, pressing the button, "clicking" a photo was fixed, she looked at the flowers and plants with curiosity, and then looked at the phone, and finally "giggled" and laughed, as if she had found a priceless treasure, excited like a bee returning from collecting honey, jumping up and down and patting around, For a moment, the crisp laughter like silver bells resounded through the woods.

Brother Mu was a little dizzy by the little girl, watching her play more and more crazy, climbing to the tree to take pictures of the bird's nest for a while, and then going into the hole to shoot the beast's nest. It was almost heaven and earth, and he hurriedly dragged her down: "Little... Sister and sister, you can rest for a while, I am completely lost by you. ”

As soon as Haimei stopped, she felt that her legs were sore, her arms were numb, she was already sweating profusely, panting, and she was busy leaning on a big tree to puff her breath, and at the same time she said to herself: "Oh, yes, it's too interesting." It's so much fun! ”

Brother Mu smiled: "Do you think it's fun?" ”

"Okay, it's fun, I've never seen anything so fun since I was a kid!" Haimei held Brother Mu's mobile phone high above her head, using it to block the sun, her face was full of joy, of course, there seemed to be a trace of longing.

Brother Mu was still laughing: "You like it very much?" ”

"Well, of course, you see that this 'painting mirror' is more similar to that of Mr. Liu in the village, and it will shine. Brighter than the sun! Haimei closed one eye, aimed at the sun with the other, and pressed the shutter with a "click", and the screen lit up. Shook her to the ground.

"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Brother Mu said with a smile.

"Huh? Yes! That's not good, grandpa said you can't just ask for other people's things. Haimei hurriedly waved her hand.

"It's not what you want, I took the initiative to give it."

"That's not going to work, it's always wrong to ask for something from you for nothing."

"How is it for nothing? We're an equivalent exchange. ”

"Brother. Iβ€”I don't have anything of value, youβ€”what do you want to exchange? ”

"Change the 'heavenly machine' you know."

"Heavenly Machine? What, what a heavenly machine... Oh! You still want to ask us about the strange things that have happened on our island lately, right? ”

Brother Mu nodded.

"Then I-" Haimei hesitated.

"Still can't tell?"

"Nope! Can say! Haimei said categorically: "I said, I said." I'll say it all! "It's even more anxious than a traitor, it seems that she really likes Brother Mu's mobile phone, and she doesn't dare to accept it, but she is so at ease.

Brother Mu smiled slightly, leaned against a tree, and listened to the little girl say: "Brother, you don't know, in the past thousands of years, except for the occasional invasion of krakens like the 'Sea Corpse King', most of the rest of the days have been safe and sound, but in recent months, we have encountered trouble, and this time it is not in the sea, but on the island..."

It turned out that from a few months ago, the residents of the island found that the wine and food at home were stolen, and all at night, at first everyone thought it was a prank by the children of a family, but later found that things were lost more and more, and the thieves became more and more arrogant, not only stealing food and drink, but also daring to steal the hostess's oil, this nature changed, the villagers finally became vigilant, under the leadership of the head of the sea village, set up a night patrol, squatting in the pit every night, and vowed to catch the hateful thief and pervert and get personal stolen goods.

But dozens of days have passed, and the villagers haven't even caught a figure, but what makes them suspicious is that every family is still throwing things every night, and everyone is messed up this time, some say that they have encountered a powerful kraken, some say that the ancestor of the family has appeared, haunted, and some say that it is the sea dragon king Sogon, his old man is afraid of trouble, so he will take it himself... There were many rumors for a while, but none of them were convinced.

But just a few days ago, the chief of Hai Village and the villagers accidentally discovered a pattern, the time when the "thieves" committed the crime seemed to be on the "fifth watch", that is, between three o'clock in the morning and five o'clock in the morning, because they did not find anything abnormal before and after, so it was certain that the troublesome guy must have been hiding somewhere at other times, or on the island, or in the sea, and only came out to make trouble before dawn when the night was darkest. Therefore, in the past few days, the village chief of Haihai has led several of the most trusted villagers to discuss together, and he is determined to lay a "net of heaven and earth" and catch the "thieves" no matter what.

And the reason why the village chief didn't dare to tell Brother Mu was very simple, he was afraid that Brother Mu would think too much, thinking that he was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, and suspecting Brother Mu of people who had just come to the island. I had to tell Brother Mu not to go out of the house at that time, firstly, to avoid a lot of misunderstandings, and secondly, I was afraid that everyone would disrupt the islanders' "thief catching plan".

Hai Mei told the matter from beginning to end, and the "heavenly machine" that was regarded as a forbidden word in her mouth before was now leaked to Brother Mu without any omission, which shows the simplicity of the little girl's mind.

Brother Mu understood clearly, and then followed Haimei back to the banquet, the people here have all drunk almost, the cups and plates are messy, the wine and food are about to run out, the tables are removed one by one, people set up tents in the open space, whether it is the crew, pirates, or the people of Shuiling Island, they all have the experience of spending the night in the wild, where to live, so the tent bedding is readily available, not long after, the empty field has been set up a large and small nest, when it is the hottest time in the afternoon, people are into the tent of shading, open the curtain for ventilation, lie down in it to rest and relieve hangover.

Only a dozen or so pirates were still chatting with the big girls, and some of them had even invited them into their tents, not knowing what they were doing inside.

When Brother Mu came back, he found that Jin Jiazi was sighing, and he asked if he was in trouble again, and Uwudai Jin Jiazi replied: "Alas! It's a big trouble, Xiao Pan ran to the tent of Lei Yuehai, my fourth brother is making trouble here. ”

"Who is Xiao Pan?" Brother Mu was stunned.

"Jin Lian, by the way, Brother Erlang, you are the most quick to kill Xiaoqing, when will you do it?" Wu Wu said with a smile, needless to say, Xiaoqing is a big official of Ximen.

"Hey, I'm not actually bothered, I just feel that those girls are too careless, so they were taken advantage of by bastard pirates-" Jin Jiazi sighed, "I really answered that wise old saying-"

"What?"

"The good land has made the pigs arch..."

"......" a few people.

…

The feast was dispersed, and the people rested.

After the people on the island cleaned up, they all returned to their respective homes, Brother Mu and the others did not bring any tents, and were arranged by the head of the village to a house near the open space, the house is not big, but it has also divided several rooms, which are decorated simple and practical, cleaned up, there are tea tables, chairs, and beds. After listening to Brother Mu tell everyone what he knew and heard, several people expressed their opinions one after another-

Hong Shou and Bai Pang said that they had long felt that there was something wrong with this island, and they should leave as soon as the ship was repaired.

Wu Wu agreed very much and said, "Let's leave, leave this sad place of the fourth brother." ”

Du Yanlong thinks it's okay to leave, but it's best to eat and drink a few more meals with him, and he can also "pack" some free food by the way.

Only Brother Mu, Jin Jiazi, and Lan Lan focused their attention on tonight, and after discussing a few plans, they each rested.

As the sun sets, the sea breeze blows, and the pale golden afterglow obliquely shines on this isolated island, leaving a slender shadow on the sea, with clear waves in the shadows, deep blue, as if covering countless secrets, flowing with ancient stories from thousands of years...

…

One more...

Two more...

Three watches.

Brother Mu and the others were resting and recovering, until the first arrival of the fourth watch, there was a "squeak", the door of the small courtyard opened, and three figures rushed out of the door, moving quickly, and in a blink of an eye, they did not enter the woods on one side, and after the "patrol" on the island walked by, they poked their heads out of the grass, it was Brother Mu, Jin Jiazi and Lan Lan.

After the group of people had gone away, the three of them turned around and sneaked towards the beach, as if they didn't notice that there were people following behind them, and there were quite a few of them, all of them lifted and fell lightly, lined up for a long time, and hid in the shadows and walked quietly.

Lei Yuehai led the way, followed by dozens of pirates, none of whom brought knives, guns and weapons, probably because they were really afraid of angering the people on the island and letting them "die before they got out", of course, they also had enough self-confidence - even if Brother Mu and their skills were good, they couldn't deal with dozens of fierce men at the same time...
