Chapter 7: Night Tracking

Just as I was about to go to bed, Mai Lao suddenly asked again, "Zhongyi, do you know about Jiao Ba's affairs?" ”

"Jiaoba's matter? What's the matter? I was stunned, I didn't understand what Mai Lao meant.

Mai Lao smiled and said very calmly, "It's what Jiao Ba wanted to tell us before, the matter of that jade pendant, because I was in a hurry, I didn't ask in detail, now should be the time, right?" ”

"Jade pendant? What jade pendant? Mantou asked incomprehensibly.

Chang Shan explained beside him, "We don't know, it was Jiao Ba who said it, about the jade pendant of Empress Daming." ”

Mai Lao, this old guy, his memory is really good, he still remembers this, I almost forgot about it, now it's okay, everyone knows about it, even if I don't say it, but I'm also totaling in my heart, should I say it? If I had spoken, it would have proved that I had concealed it, but if I had not spoken, wouldn't I have shot myself in the foot if I had any tricks?

"Zhongyi, what's wrong with you? You don't look good, huh? Mai Lao saw that I didn't speak, and asked intentionally.

His words immediately embarrassed me, did this show that I was a thief, I quickly adjusted my mentality, pretended not to know and said, "When Jiao Ba wakes up, you should ask him about this." I said something in the middle, without suggesting that I knew or that I didn't, and although it was offensive, I had to say it.

"So you don't know?" Mai Lao looked at me with a strange look, and my heart was up and down.

Just when I was struggling, Jiao Ba suddenly sat up, "Okay Mai Lao, this matter has nothing to do with Brother Yi, when Jenny's matter is finished tomorrow, I will naturally tell you." ”

It turned out that Jiao Ba didn't sleep either, in fact, I should have thought of it, but seeing his tired appearance, I thought he could fall asleep quickly, I pretended to look at him indifferently, but Jiao Ba didn't look at me, but a hand was gently tapping his thigh, although I didn't understand what it meant, but I felt like he didn't let me talk more.

Mai Lao smiled and said, "It's okay, let's deal with Jenny's affairs first, and then talk about your secret." "He deliberately put the word 'secret' so heavily that it was uncomfortable for anyone to listen to it.

Jiao Ba was very calm, and his expression did not change at all, and he couldn't see his state of mind at the moment, "This is not a secret, and I haven't thought about hiding anyone from me at all." ”

"What the hell are you talking about? And what is that jade pendant like? Can you show me? The big man stretched out his hand and said with a flattering expression.

"Yes, Jiao Ba, take it out and take a look first, and let our brothers open their eyes." The steamed bun also echoed a sentence.

Jiao Ba glanced at the two of them, and suddenly laughed, his laughter, not only confused everyone, even I was stunned, it was fine just now, how to say crazy now, crazy, this look is not a normal laugh, the laugh is too fake.

After a few seconds, Jiao Ba immediately put away his smile, his face became very serious, but he still didn't say a word, his action was really incomprehensible, what did this mean?

"That's... Brother Jiao, what did you mean by laughing just now? The big man asked with an embarrassed expression.

"It's nothing, it's just to ease the atmosphere, you will see it sooner or later, and you are not in a hurry at this time, what do you say, Mai Lao?" Jiao Ba turned his head to look at Mai Lao, his eyes were very strange.

"Yes, don't be in a hurry for this time, don't ask more, after solving Jenny's case, Jiao Ba will naturally explain." Mai Lao still had a smile, but this smile made people panic, it was the kind of sinister and treacherous smile, although it was only for a moment, but it still made me catch it.

"Go to sleep, I'm tired." After Jiao Ba finished speaking, he directly lay down and no longer paid attention to the others.

I also hurriedly said, "I have to sleep too, I'm tired to death, so I won't accompany you." "I rolled over, closed my eyes and got ready for sleep

At night, I was tightly entangled by nightmares, or the ancient woman, the woman who asked me for things, she always seemed to appear in my dreams, what did she want to do, why did she bother with me? It seems like every time I go to sleep, she shows up, what the hell is going on? Is there something wrong with my brain, or is she right next to me?

I opened my eyes dimly, the whole rest cabin was pitch black, I could hardly see anything, only the faint moonlight shining in, I looked at the moonlight in a daze, the moon was a little dark tonight, slowly, the moon actually turned red, it was that kind of blood red, and then, the moon was getting closer and closer, as if it had fallen from the sky.

When the blood-colored moon filled the whole window, the windowsill began to seep blood, the blood was like flowing water, it kept flowing, and soon it filled the whole rest cabin, I wanted to shout, I wanted to call the other people up, but I couldn't shout, I opened my mouth wide, I couldn't make a sound, I couldn't even move my body, the blood soon flooded the top of my head, I couldn't breathe, I felt like I was dying, countless grimaces appeared in the blood, around me......

I opened my eyes suddenly, took a deep breath, it turned out to be a dream within a dream, but it felt so real, my whole body was soaked with sweat, I was already very tired, I wanted to sleep well and rest, but I felt even more tired after such a toss, this damn nightmare, why did it always haunt me, since I left the island, I basically haven't slept for a day, maybe this is the result of the curse, a kind of intense mental torture.

The rest cabin is very quiet, the only discordant is the snoring of the big man and the steamed bun, these two people are snoring are about to catch up with the thunder, my ears hurt from the shock, the moonlight is very faint, very similar to the moonlight in the dream, I turned over, planning to continue sleeping, even if I have a nightmare, I have to sleep, I can't stand up.

But when I turned around, I saw by the moonlight, the bed opposite me was empty, I immediately felt a lot of energy, at first I thought I was dazzled, I hurriedly found out the flashlight, but turned on the flashlight to see, I suddenly had no sleep, the bed on the opposite side, it was really empty, it was Jiao Ba's bed, this in the middle of the night, where did he go? Could he still have some ulterior secrets, it seems that there is definitely something wrong.

I glanced at my watch, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, he really knows how to pick the time, this time period, is the most tired time for normal people, but also the best time to sleep, usually there is no loud sound, generally will not be woken up, big men and steamed buns are the best examples, and I am an exception.

I got out of bed quietly, walked to Jiao Ba's bed, reached out and touched the quilt, there was still some temperature, proving that he had just left, I turned around and used a flashlight to look at the other beds, it didn't matter, I was shocked again, Changshan's bed was also empty, where did he go? It's weird, how these two people disappeared en masse.

I hurried to the door, gently opened the hatch, and quietly walked out, the lights in the corridor were on, and there was a duty at night, after all, it was at sea, and someone had to watch.

I walked down the aisle to the deck, and when I was just halfway there, I saw Chang Shan and Jiao Ba walking in one after the other, I didn't have time to dodge, and there was no need to dodge, I stood in place and looked at them coldly.

When Jiao Ba saw me, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered, and he hurriedly walked over and asked, "Brother Yi, why did you come out?" ”

"I was about to ask you? You don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you coming out? I raised my eyebrows and asked, I was more and more suspicious of Jiao Ba, what kind of medicine was he selling in this gourd?

Before Jiao Ba could speak, Chang Shan came over, and he smiled at me and said, "What? Nightmares again? ”

I was stunned by his words, how did he know I had nightmares? That's weird, isn't it? Looking at his eyes that seemed to be able to see through me, I suddenly felt a chill all over my body, and cold sweat almost flowed out, but I tried to stay calm and not lose my temper.

"No, it's just that I woke up, why did Brother Changshan run out in the middle of the night?" I told a lie, and asked him again, I suddenly felt a little afraid of Chang Shan, this person is too evil, not an ordinary evil door, Jiao Ba compared to him, it is simply a small thing.

"Oh, it's nothing, just come out and go to the bathroom." Chang Shan's words are simply imbeciles can only say, we have a toilet in the cabin, do you need to come out to use the toilet?

"Going to the toilet? Isn't there a toilet in the cabin? Why do you go outside? I looked at him and asked in a low voice.

Chang Shan patted me on the arm and said, "By the way, the sea breeze blows, don't think about it, I'll go back to sleep first." With that, he walked straight to the rest pod.

After Chang Shan returned to the rest cabin, I looked at Jiao Ba and asked sharply, "What kind of plane are you doing?" I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you tired of playing with Chang Shan? ”

Jiao Ba glanced at me, quickly stretched out his hand and pulled me aside, and he whispered in my ear, "I came out with him, do you think I am willing to run out in the middle of the night." ”

"Follow him? What do you mean? I looked at him and asked, feeling that he was a little perfunctory.

"Listen to me tell you, at one o'clock in the morning, I found Chang Shan getting out of bed and going out, I followed him quietly, I thought there would be something to discover, but it turned out that he really came out to go to the bathroom, just on the deck blowing the sea breeze, I hid near him, I wanted to see what he was going to do, but guess what?" Jiao Ba suddenly asked a rhetorical question, and his expression changed.

"I don't know what's wrong, you say it." I'm a little impatient, in the middle of the night, I didn't sleep well, and I tossed up.
