Chapter 188: Encountering a Ship
Far away in the sky, a star disappeared into the sky with a long brilliant trajectory.
Meng Nan and Yin Ruoqing held hands and made a vow of eternal love to the meteor, while Xiang Yu rode the wind and waves with the excitement of returning home, and drove at full speed towards the sky where the meteor fell.
"Uncle Xiang, are you sure you're going in the wrong direction?" Meng Nan asked.
At night in the vast sea, pitch black is the main color, and the dim starlight only plays a role in embellishment, and they have been drifting on the sea for seven or eight days, Meng Nan and Yin Ruoqing have already been tortured, but the shadow of the land has never appeared.
"Of course, I have a lot of research on the direction of the sea and the changing wind speeds. Other than that, I was able to feel ......"
Xiang Xiang raised his head narcissistically and looked ahead: "I can feel that my hometown is calling me ......"
"But the two of us don't have the strong body of Uncle Xiang, and if we continue to drift like this, we are afraid that we will not be able to hold on!"
Meng Nan looked at Yin Ruoqing in her arms worriedly, and her pretty face obviously showed an indissoluble haggardness.
"I was negligent!" Xiang Yu finally woke up from the excitement of returning home. It accompanied Captain Billy on the seas, knowing that humans could not float on the sea all day long like themselves, and that they had to keep their feet on the ground from time to time to recover on land.
There were many crew members back then, but they couldn't find land in time and died at sea.
"I'll keep an eye on the island!" After Xiang Yu finished speaking, the big eyes of the basketball began to shuttle.
Meng Nan held Yin Ruoqing's hand tightly and used her love to give her confidence and courage. In order to save their strength, the two stopped talking and curled up in the corner of the big basket, drifting with the flow.
And so, they greeted the sunrise the next day. The day is the hardest time to endure. Because there is no shelter on the sea. The strong sunlight and the refraction of the sea surface make it very uncomfortable to get sun.
Although Meng Nan had already considered this, when he set out, he carried a few mats woven with leaves, but most of these mats were damaged by the invasion of the sea breeze and seawater, and only the last mat full of holes was left on top of his head. Better than nothing.
Just when the two of them were curled up quietly and gradually fell asleep, they suddenly heard the surprise cry of Xiang Yu.
"Boat! I saw the boat! ”
Meng Nan immediately poked his head out of the tattered mat and saw a huge dilapidated sailing ship. His eyes immediately overflowed with surprise.
Although he knew that there was a ninety-nine percent chance that this ship belonged to the Sona Empire, in any case, he and Yin Ruoqing were already extremely weak, and it was much better to be able to go to the ship to compensate for the supplies than to drift on the sea like this.
But. Meng Nan looked at Xiang Yu and suddenly thought of something.
With its terrifying appearance, it was afraid that the ship would immediately flee from the wind, instead of taking the two of them in.
Meng Nan expressed his meaning euphemistically to Xiang Yu. Naturally, the boss is not happy.
"Do they want me to hide for a while, do they fear the Mutual Worm whose loyalty is wider than the ocean......
Having said that, the elephant still tore the rope on the big basket and dived into the sea. Pushing the big basket from the water, it floated to the big boat.
"Help!" Meng Nan stood up from the big basket. Waving at the ship and shouting at the top of his voice,
A man with a full beard and a strange costume poked his head out of the side of the boat and glanced at Meng Nan, who was waving and shouting. Retracted his head.
At this moment, in the hall of the ship, it is very lively, with more than a dozen strong men, some playing cards in groups. Some were lying down drinking fine wine, and some were wiping knives and axes, and when they saw the bearded man come back, a man who was playing cards raised his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up, and asked.
"Sooke, who's shouting?"
The bearded man named Suke pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "A poor fellow with only leaves left!" ”
"Business has been getting worse and worse lately!" Yizihu shook his head and sighed, then reached out with lightning and grabbed the hand of the fat man opposite.
"Red stroke, you dare to steal cards!"
"Hehe, this game is not ......" the fat man smiled and threw the cards in his hand to the ground, stood up and stretched.
"You guys, I'm going to bask in the sun."
"Your money has been confiscated! By the way, tell Huan Li Ang, speed up, and ignore that poor ghost. The beard let go of the fat man, sat down and continued to play cards.
The fat man walked out of the cabin with a depressed face, and when he thought that his money was gone, he couldn't help but turn around and spit out with hatred, and at this time, Meng Nan's hoarse cry for help sounded again.
The fat man, who was already extremely depressed, didn't dare to provoke a mustache, but looking at Meng Nan who was calling under the boat, he finally found an object to vent his anger.
The fat man picked up the iron anchor from the deck, came to the side of the ship, pointed to Meng Nan's position, and suddenly let go of his hands.
"Damn, you shouted!" The fat man snorted with evil taste on his face and poked his head out, wanting to enjoy the tragedy directed by himself.
However, the scene that happened in front of me was extremely incredible.
The big basket made of tree branches, facing the huge iron anchor smashed down from the sky, turned around miraculously, and was able to avoid it.
The iron anchor hung straight into the water, and the iron chain tied to the back seemed to hang a life-saving rope for the man. The sneak attack failed, and the fat man with a depressed face suddenly lit up in front of him.
It turned out that the man suddenly took out a woman from the big basket. This woman has long hair the color of the sea, and a half-raised pretty face, although she is a little haggard, but the unparalleled and unrivaled face of the city makes the fat man almost stunned.
"Big ...... Big Brother ......"
was playing cards, and was startled when he saw the fat man rushing in. He hurriedly threw away the cards in his hand, stretched out his hand and pulled out a long knife, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”
"Woman...... The woman ......" The fat man said half a sentence out of breath, and was kicked down by a word.
"I'm rubbing, I don't think what's going on. You kid misses a woman......"
"No, it's a woman in the sea......" The fat man took a few breaths, and finally spoke fluently: "Very beautiful woman, ...... in a big basket"
Before the fat man's words landed, he felt that the black shadow flashed in front of him, and when he got up, he was the only one left in the empty hall.
No one can imagine how much a man who has been adrift on the sea is hungry for a woman. Don't say a beautiful woman, as long as it's a woman, it will make them crazy. So the men, almost like a swarm, rushed outside.
At this moment, Meng Nan was already holding Yin Ruoqing, climbing up step by step along the iron cable. As soon as he climbed to the deck, he fell to the ground weakly, and the drifting of these days, even his strong body, was unbearable.
Then, he saw a large group of people rushing out, and the eyes of these people all shot out a scorching light, focusing on Yin Ruoqing's body.
"Hello!" Meng Nan staggered to his feet and blocked Yin Ruoqing with his body.
"Hello!" The bearded hand reached behind his back, shook it at his accomplice, made a gesture that we were playing with this kid, and then walked towards Meng Nan with a kind smile on his face.
"Tell me, dear traveler, did you meet us in order to conquer the sea?"
Meng Nan smiled bitterly: "No, I have been conquered by the sea." I would venture to ask that my wife and I be allowed to rest on your ship! ”
"Of course no problem!" Yizihu nodded again and again with a kind smile on his face: "Although we are not too rich, at sea, there is no more generous crew than our Billy!" ”
"Thank you!" Meng Nan seemed to be sincerely grateful. He is not a fool, the fat man just now smashed the iron anchor towards him with a fierce face, if it wasn't for Xiang Yu pulling a big basket at a critical moment, I am afraid that at this moment he and Yin Ruoqing have become a puddle of meat.
And although the mustache in front of him was smiling and groaning, looking at the people behind him, he couldn't wait to melt his eyes on Yin Ruoqing's face. Regarding his current situation, Meng Nan did not dare to be careless at all, he said: "Thank you, your generosity is enough to reflect the sea." Allow me to know your name. ”
"My name is Hela." Yizi smiled nonsense, turned his head and scolded the person behind him: "What are you still doing in a daze, our distinguished guest has already boarded the boat, that one, go and prepare to eat, ask for the most exquisite food!" And who else, hurry up and get water, don't you know that our guests need these things the most right now! ”
The two men who were targeted by the word reluctantly turned their heads to prepare, but when they were leaving, they reluctantly glanced at Yin Ruoqing's face, and then turned to leave.
Meng Nan wiped the sweat flowing from his forehead, his body was already very weak, and he had climbed onto the big ship with Yin Ruoqing in his arms just now, and his physical strength had reached the point of running out of oil and lamps.
Seeing Meng Nan's action of wiping his sweat, Yizihu smiled considerately: "Well, this enthusiastic sunshine is really unbearable!" Please follow me to the cabin. ”
Meng Nan turned his head and glanced at the sea, showing a wrist and foot, and made a reassuring gesture, then nodded, followed the mustache, and walked to the cabin.
"Distinguished guest, please tell me your name. Also, I'm curious, why did you end up at sea......" The mustache took Meng Nan and walked into the spacious hall, and asked as he sat down.
"My name is Meng Nan, and this is my wife Yin Ruoqing!" Meng Nan looked around, and suddenly a pattern on the bulkhead fell into his eyes, which made Meng Nan feel shocked............ (To be continued......)
