Chapter 10: The Sea Wolf
I couldn't see what this dark shadow was, but at this moment, a strange thought came to me, and I thought to myself, "Which stowaway has broken the vows?" Also thrown into the sea to wash clothes?
I'm soaking in the sea now, which doesn't taste good, and it also allows me to stop talking without talking. I had to wait and see.
After the man at the stern of the boat threw the black shadow into the sea, he quickly left, and after the black shadow fell into the sea, it quickly floated. It was also tied with rope and ended up floating around us, swaying over the water like us.
This time, I realized that it was a large wooden barrel. Tie Jun was very sensitive to this wooden barrel, and said to the two of us, "Let's go and have a look." ”
We are still a unit, and we are not separated hand in hand. Let's slowly move over there together.
I was closest to the barrel and was the first to reach for it. It seemed to me that the cask was normal, except that there was a small crack in the edge of the barrel, and a small stream of liquid was spilling out of the crest.
I clasped the crack and put my hand in front of my eyes to look at it. The liquid was a little red, and I sniffed it closely, and it was quite fishy.
My first reaction was blood. I also told Tie Jun and Big Mouth about the situation.
Big Mouth shook his head, indicating incomprehension, and Tie Jun was stunned for a moment and scolded badly.
He led the two of us around the barrel. We were lying on the barrel, and the cold was like lying on the lifebuoy. But that's not our ultimate goal.
The Iron Army gave the order, let's hurry up and untie the rope of the barrel and let it drift away with the waves.
Big Mouth and I both asked why? Tie Jun replied with a very bad face, "We must not provoke the sea wolf!" ”
I'm new to the word sea wolf, but I've heard of desert wolves, jungle wolves, and so on. Big Mouth and I didn't delay our hands, but I also asked one more question, and let Tie Jun explain what a sea wolf was.
Tie Jun reminded him, "Shark! My head buzzed.
Don't look like I don't usually have the opportunity to come into contact with this marine animal, but its notoriety has long been imprinted in my mind through various means.
I also know that sharks are very bloodthirsty. The barrel was bleeding out, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the sea wolves, that is, sharks, were brought in.
We're so close to the barrel that we're sure to be a meal for the sharks.
We were all in a hurry, but the rope that tied the barrel was very tight, and the left and right were one, and the barrel was tied with three layers inside and three layers outside.
We unravel one, and there is another.
We didn't give up, so we had time to have a cigarette, Tie Jun turned his head and couldn't help but curse.
I followed his gaze and glanced at him. To be honest, I was frightened, and not far away on the sea, a fin suddenly appeared. It was a foot tall, to say the least, and was rapidly approaching us.
What this is, it goes without saying. Tie Jun shouted, "Hide! ”
We didn't untie the ropes anymore, so we all got out of the barrels, and each of us swam to the side as fast as we could.
Shortly after we dodged, the shark came and was so ferocious that its big head popped out of the water. It opened its mouth wide and bit down into the barrel.
I heard a thud and the shark clung to the barrel and twisted its body to get the most out of it.
I've heard people say that shark teeth are as sharp as daggers, and I didn't believe it, but this time I watched the shark bite a few times, and the barrel shattered into two pieces. I believed it thoroughly.
And as soon as the barrel shattered, all the blood in it came out, and for a time a red area appeared on the sea, which was stained with blood.
When the shark felt the blood, it immediately became excited, bit down on half of the barrel, and continued to twist itself.
As a result, its speed was affected, and it was thrown off a distance by the White Shark, and I was a little relieved, and I said that the barrel was gone, and the blood was scattered, so it should leave now, right?
But it's not that easy to pass. It spat out the barrel and accelerated again, rushing at us, and the first target was me.
I was so scared that my head buzzed. If there was one more gangster this time, even if it was a gangster, I wouldn't be so nervous.
I'm sure I'll use elbows and grapples to fight the bandits. The problem is that now the opponent is a shark, and I don't know how to start.
After such a delay, the shark was a lot closer. I felt like my whole heart was about to jump out of my throat.
I tried to escape, but I was restrained by the fucking rope behind my back. Tie Jun knew that I was in a bad situation, so he took out a "baseball bat" from his back and swam quickly towards me, holding the bat.
The shark didn't take the Iron Army seriously, but when the Iron Army approached the shark, he did it.
He twisted almost half of his body, and with this momentum, he poured all his strength into the arm, and he slapped the rod hard in front of the shark's fin.
There was a splash on the surface of the sea, and the shark showed up in pain.
It changed its strategy and focused entirely on the Iron Army, opening its mouth wide to bite the Iron Army.
Tiejun withdrew his stick, this time turning it into a thorn, and pointed the tip of the stick at the shark's nose and poked it hard. But now it's dark and we're on the sea again. His accuracy was not high, and he missed it at once. The shark took the opportunity to pounce in front of the Iron Army.
I was in a hurry, shouted, and swam to the Iron Army with Big Mouth. I really didn't see how Tie Jun did it, but he miraculously escaped the shark's mouth and passed by the shark's mouth.
But he dodged like this, distracted, and let him lose the stick.
The shark wanted to back off, and it was tempting to sprint again and pounce again, but Bigmouth and I had already reached either side of the shark.
The big mouth is really fierce, sticking to the shark's head, reaching up and pinching and grabbing. It's just that the shark's skin is rough and thick, and the size is so big, the pinching and scratching of the big mouth has no effect at all, and it is almost like tickling.
I stared into the shark's eyes and reminded me in a hurry, "Pick at its eyeballs." ”
I acted with Big Mouth. The moment I picked it up, I felt that the eyeballs were a little hard, and I guess there was some waterproof film on the outside. I don't care so much, I use all the strength I can, and I want to take this eyeball off in one go.
Big Mouth emulates me. The shark suddenly couldn't stand the pain, twisted back and forth, and sank sharply.
Big Mouth and I had the heart to follow all the way, but as soon as we entered the water, we were pulled by a rope, and we were both jerked back. When I surfaced again, I gasped for breath and touched the water on my face.
I looked around and saw no sign of the shark resurfacing again, and I was so happy that I had finally gotten rid of this demon.
But I was too happy too early, Tie Jun looked into the distance, reminded us, and then decisively took out the waterproof flare.
He broke it and held it high. There was a snort, and a firework appeared in the sky.
I didn't have time to see if the fireworks were beautiful, and my eyes were fixed on the distance, because there was another fin, this one was a lot taller than the previous one, and it was clear that this sea wolf was bigger.
We tried to get as close together as we could, and we tried to pull the rope up the White Shark, but the problem was that the rope was full of nails and we had nowhere to start.
If there is no help from outsiders, it is estimated that it will not be long before our brothers can repel this big guy who rushed here, and they will eventually die at the bottom of the sea.
The fat second mate was very efficient, and it is estimated that after seeing the fireworks, he quickly appeared in the stern with three sailors. After he saw this scene on the sea, he shouted decisively. I couldn't make out what he was shouting, but I guess it was something like let's hold on.
Together with his men, he found a gallows and used it to twist our ropes. In the meantime, we have been in a dangerous battle with the new shark.
I had nothing to do with Big Mouth, and Tie Jun was forced to grab a handful of a rope with one hand on the nailed rope. His hand was bleeding from the stabbing sound, but it also allowed him to temporarily rise and avoid a shark attack.
When the gallows was completely powerful and dragged us completely out of the water, we were all relieved.
The iron army covered the injured hand with his other hand, and I and the big mouth didn't dare to move, and we were honestly hanged.
It didn't take long for us all to be back on deck. The fat second mate and one of the sailors were busy untying us, while the other sailor hung the rope that bound the clothes with a gallow.
But the clothes were unlucky and were bitten by a shark. When I finally hung it up, most of the clothes were gone, and the rest of the clothes that were still hanging on the rope were all mutilated.
The sailor scolded angrily. The fat second mate didn't hear it, and looked at us coldly.
We were completely untied at this point, and we were struggling to stand up and move our bodies. The fat second mate asked us, "What's going on?" How did the shark get there? ”
Tie Jun answered first and told him what had just happened.
I echoed with Big Mouth. And we also have evidence, the remaining half of the barrel is still being pulled by ropes and floating on the surface of the sea.
The fat second mate asked his subordinates to hang the rope up, so that the human and material evidence were all there, and it was obvious that someone was deliberately harming us.
We all agree on the same thing, and the fat second mate is not stupid, we all think of baldness.
The fat second mate asked the two sailors to stay, clean up the scene and so on, and he took us to the cabin together.
The cabin is dim now, with only a few small lights. Some of the smugglers were sleeping, and some were getting together in twos and threes, smoking cigarettes and chatting.
Our arrival surprised them. One of the stowaways muttered, "Two hours passed so quickly?" Sir, are these three newcomers lazy? ”
We ignored the stowaway. I also went to the door and pulled all the switches to turn on all the lights that could be lit.
In this way, those who slept were also awakened, and they cursed continuously for a while.
We were all looking for the bald head, and I found him lying on the bed with his back to us.
I said in my heart that this thing that doesn't grow hair on his head is okay, he is quite fat, and he dares to be lazy and can't get up.
Big Mouth and I winked, and we both wanted to go over and pull him off the top bunk. But Tie Jun originally showed a thoughtful look, and saw that I had just taken two steps with Big Mouth, and he fed us and stopped us.
Big Mouth and I looked at Tiejun in confusion. Tie Jun ignored the two of us, but said to the fat second mate, "Sir, come on!" ”
