Chapter 41: The Fire of Escape

We gathered in one place, the night was as dark as ink, the sea breeze was cool, and in addition to the sound of wind and waves, it was the unique sound of humpback whales, and everyone who listened to it felt uncomfortable. I subconsciously looked at my watch, because it was waterproof, so I was still walking around as usual, it was already two o'clock in the morning, and in three hours, it would be dawn.

The ship was moving south, drifting, and I didn't know where it was going to take us.

Everyone pondered hard and thought about countermeasures, but they were at a loss. As the minutes ticked by, I lost count of the number of times I looked at my watch, and finally when it pointed to 4:50, I felt a shock in my heart.

The sun rises early on the sea, and at the latest at half past five, the light of the sky will be penetrating. At that time, will we be able to get rid of this USO, or will it really disappear with it, as is the case among the people?

The expressions of the crowd became more and more ugly, and at this moment, Tofu said, "I heard that the disappeared USO will take the people on the boat to the bottom of the sea and drown them alive, and I don't want to be flooded again." I said......" He looked at the machine and said, "If that happens, you can remember to slip around and shoot me in the head and let me die a happy death." ”

When he said this, A-Ying was even more frightened, she cried, lowered her head and wiped her tears, and said, "I don't want to die yet." ”

No one wanted to die, but Tofu's words reminded me of something, so I said to everyone, "Time is running out, and if we continue to spend like this, we will all die sooner or later." I have an idea to put it to death and live in the afterlife, I don't know if you dare to give it a try. ”

Professor Lin perked up and asked me what I had in mind. I told everyone what I had just suddenly come up with.

There is a way that ghosts are afraid of yang fire, the human body has yang fire, and ordinary fire is also yang fire, yang fire can drive away evil spirits, and small yang fire cannot suppress evil. In some rural areas, when walking at night, a flashlight is used to tie a simple torch at the same time, mainly for this reason.

I thought that instead of being trapped in this ship and waiting to die, I would take the risk and set this ship on fire, and then the wind would help the fire, and the ship would surely ignite a fire, and perhaps deter the evil spirits, and solve the current predicament. Of course, if this method does not work, and the fire burns again, then we are afraid that we will be burned alive.

When Jiqì No. 1 heard this, he did not object, but said, "I will give everyone a glorious bullet." ”

The idea was rather risky, and for a moment no one responded, and by this time, the hour hand was already pointing to five o'clock in the morning, and the sky was no longer as dark as before, but faintly turned gray, and it was not long before the day was about to dawn. And I also found a phenomenon, that is, as time goes by, this USO sails faster and faster, like an arrow from the string, and it is strange everywhere.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, everyone gritted their teeth, and could only give it a try, even if they went down to the cabin. Because the fire went up, we chose to set it on fire in the cabin. Since there was no solid fuel, the people dug out their bags of dry clothes and lit a fire, and in a short time the flames burned through the planks, and in an instant long tongues of fire rose from the dry hull. When the people saw that the fire was almost triggered, they immediately ran to the deck.

My heart was dark, thinking: ** egg, I see how you are doing it this time.

In a short time, the tongue of fire spread from under the cabin, and for a time thick smoke billowed out, and the choking crowd was very uncomfortable. I saw that the fire was almost there, so I gave Tofu a look, and motioned for him to try to jump into the sea again, maybe the thing was frightened by the fire and didn't dare to make a mistake. Tofu was very elf, and immediately jumped off the edge of the boat.

But soon, he fell from the sky to us, fell and screamed, and said, "The surname is Chen, next time you can do this kind of thing yourself." ”

I said, "I did it all myself, doesn't it seem like you're too useless." ”

Duan Fei came next to me again, his little face was a little pale on weekdays, he didn't say anything, he just hid behind me, he looked very scared, and the smoke came from the surface, making people teary.

Fortunately, the sea was windy, so the smoke didn't bother us too much. Soon, most of the ship was on fire, and at this moment, the ropes on the mast also broke one after another, causing the few sails that had been put away to spread out with brushes. Suddenly, everyone took a cool breath, only to feel that the cold hairs on their bodies stood on end, and their scalps were numb.

I saw that the cloth sail was white, but it was covered with bloodstains, and the blood stains seemed to be splashed on it, scarlet, and faintly formed the appearance of some human faces.

At a glance, it was as if there were countless bloody faces staring at us on the sails, not to mention the thrill of a heartbeat.

Gu Wenmin covered his mouth in fright, his eyes trembled, and he said after a while: "The shape of this ship is a bit like the shape of the European period hundreds of years ago, maybe the people on this USO suffered a massacre hundreds of years ago." Tofu swallowed: "What should I do now, the fire is so big, I can't jump out...... It's over......"

Jiqì No. 1 looked at the tofu with a heavy expression and said, "Do you want me to send you on the road?" Tofu looked like he was about to cry and said, "I can't bear to let you ...... If you are hit in the head by a bullet, will you die all at once, or will you have to die after a while? ”

The second person said: "We have only hit other people's heads, and we have not tried it ourselves, so we don't know." ”

Tofu shrunk his neck and stared at the muzzle of the gun in fear, obviously scared again when the matter came, and began to re-evaluate whether it was better to drown, burn, or be killed by a gun. The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and we hid on the deck, and the flames gradually began to spread, and the heat wave around us hit, and the eyes of the roasters were hot.

I couldn't help but hug Gu Wenmin next to me, and didn't speak again, at this time, I didn't have a rut, at the last moment, I just wanted to hug the person in my arms.

Her soft hand, gripping my wrist tightly, said, "I'm still angry." ”

I looked into her gentle gaze and said, "You can't lie at all. ”

Tofu wiped the smoked tears and howled: "It's shameful to show affection." Immediately after that, he prayed to all the gods and Buddhas in his mouth, saying that as long as he could get out of trouble this time, he would be a vegetarian from now on. I was shocked, not eating meat is a stricter problem for tofu than life, and he can make such a poisonous oath, which shows that he is desperate in his heart. So I said to Tofu, "It doesn't hurt to die at all, it's only a matter of seconds to be hit in the brain by a bullet, Xiaodou, be strong." ”

Tofu cried and said, "I can't be strong." ”

I sighed and said, "I know, you've never been hard in your life." ”

Gu Wenmin pinched me and said, "When is it, you are still so unserious." At this time, the eyebrows were already burned, and everyone was forced to stand against the edge of the ship, and a layer of oil and sweat was baked on their faces, mixed with soot, and everyone became black and white. Just when everyone was desperate and began to seriously ponder the question of the glorious bullet, I suddenly heard a snapping sound in my ears, which seemed to come from under the boat.

It sounded like the sound of a wooden beam breaking, and then our bow began to tilt down.

Professor Lin was overjoyed and said, "It seems to be the sound of a broken keel." "The so-called keel refers to the main beam in the center of the bottom of the old ship, and when the keel is broken, the ship will naturally solve the problem and split into two sections. At this moment, our bow suddenly plunged into the water, and before everyone could react, our bodies had already fallen into the water.

When we came into contact with the icy seawater, we were not frightened, but looked at each other, and then burst into laughter, Tofu patted the sea water and said, "Damn, Grandpa Dou, I'm back again!" ”

Not to mention the carp, his oily face was extremely excited, and he said, "Thanks to Brother Chen's clever plan, this trick is so wonderful to put it to death and use it later." ”

Everyone soaked in the water, and the unidentified sea object known as USO quickly sank into the sea. We floated on the surface of the sea, enjoying the joy of the rest of our lives. After a while, everyone suppressed their excitement, and at this moment, a faint glow was already faintly visible on the horizon, and it was estimated that in another ten minutes, the sun would come out.

At this moment, there is a vast sea around us, and the reef belt that we have been living in before has already been separated by many nautical miles, and we are floating on the sea, and the joy does not last long.

This time it was even worse, we didn't even have a raft, so we were just swimming in the sea? How long do you have to swim?

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw the tofu motionless in the sea, as if I had found something, and I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Pee."

No way...... Everyone hurriedly moved away from him, and before I could teach him a lesson, Tofu pursed his lips and said, "Don't look disgusted, we don't know how long we will float on the sea, it's hard to make it a feces and urine, and you can still hold it back in your stomach." The sea water is full of feces, and the fish poop is soaked in the sea. You know ambergris, it's made from sperm whale stool, and it's ......."

I quickly interrupted him and said, "From now on, you are not allowed to say another word." "Originally, I didn't realize it when I soaked in the seawater, but when I was rendered by tofu like this, I suddenly felt that something was wrong with my body, not to mention the three women, whose faces were black to the bottom of the pot.

But when it came to whales, I suddenly remembered and said, "That humpback whale is gone." ”

Gu Wenmin said: "Maybe it has left." ”

Tofu gestured, as if he wanted to say something, I looked at him coldly, and he shrugged his eyebrows and said nothing. At this moment, a jet of water suddenly shot up from among the crowd, and before I could react, something hard and hard under my feet dragged us up, and when I looked down, it happened to be the humpback whale.

Its breath was just below us, and it floated upward, and everyone sat on its back. Tofu didn't care about the ban, and said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Xiao Hei, I knew you didn't leave, what are you going to do?" Xiao Hei's eyes stayed on Tofu's body for half a second, ignoring this fool, swimming gracefully on the sea, and not meaning to throw us down.
