Chapter 8: Panic on the ship
One night, the two of them were in a secluded and comfortable place on the deck, frolicking and whispering, enjoying the moist and salty sea breeze of the spring night.
Leng Yue suddenly remembered something, and said happily: "How can such a warm and romantic night be without wine?" You wait, I'll go get the wine. "Get up
Let's trot all the way into the cabin and go straight to the wine hold.
There are huge jars of wine in the warehouse, as well as rows of small jars, which are fixed to wooden shelves to prevent the hull from shaking and shattering. Cold moon tiptoeing
He took off a small jar and held it in his arms.
When Leng Yue returned with the wine, Nian Jiuling was still sitting lazily in the same place, revealing a piece of jade-colored skin and thousands of green threads at the wide open neckline
It was loosely clenched, and it flowed like water behind him, hanging down to the ground. The charming face becomes more and more enchanting at night, beautiful and dazzling.
The tattoo on his forehead caught her eyes, and her heart ached slightly. At that time, it was for her to stay, always reminding her of the dedication of this man for her......
Seeing her come back, he reached out and took the wine jar, opened the lid, sniffed deeply, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Good wine." Yue'er also came to try it. ”
"Yes, yes." She was also attracted by the smell of wine, and greedily approached her.
But he removed the jar from her lips and brought it to his lips, and lifted his neck slightly, allowing the elixir to pour into his mouth.
She wasn't happy anymore: "Huh? It's time for me to drink ......."
He put down the jar of wine, pursed his lips and said nothing, and suddenly reached out to hold the back of her head, lowered his face, covered her lips, and poured the wine in his mouth into her mouth.
Not...... What a fragrant wine vessel......
She greedily drank the wine in his mouth, and still used the tip of her tongue to search for the mellow fragrance that remained in his mouth, and there was wine from his
The corners of the lips spill out and slip straight into the neckline. She was like the most greedy drunkard, following the thin wisp of wine and sucking it all the way to his chest.
He gasped and tore open his shirt with all his might, groped through the jar, and poured the entire jar of wine over his body, the strong liquid irritating his skin to a slight redness
, exuding a rich mellow fragrance.
"This appetizer, Yue'er is still satisfied?"
"Enough...... Sumptuous! ”
The deepest bond, the tightest adhesion. It's as if this way we can imprint each other into our lives and never lose them.
……
Late one night after sailing for more than ten days, Long Wei watched the stars, looked at the charts, measured the compass, and took the telescope to look at it for a while, and gave the captain an order to deflect the course to the south.
The captain's hand held the rudder, but it did not move. Puzzled, he asked: "Young Master Long, if you go south, you will deviate from the route." ”
"Do as I say." Long Wei's face was expressionless.
Captain Iron Hook was anxious: "Young Master Long, I have run this route more than ten times, I will never make a mistake, just go straight ahead!" ”
Long Wei's expression was grim, and he squinted at the captain's gaze, which was so sharp that it hurt people.
Iron Hook's heart trembled, and he didn't dare to insist any longer, so he turned the rudder according to his instructions. While manipulating, my heart was full of doubts. The gaze occasionally swept over the chart, suddenly
As if struck by lightning, his eyes widened and he froze.
After being stunned for a moment, he violently spread the rudder and ran away to one side.
Long Wei saw that the rudder was loosened and there was a danger of getting out of control, so he hurriedly reached out and held it.
As the captain ran, he shouted in horror, "Misty Island! You're going to ......"
Before he finished shouting a sentence, he felt a black shadow in front of him, followed by a numbness on his back, and his tongue suddenly stiffened, and he couldn't say a word. At the same time neck
It was cold, and a curved steel knife was pressed against his neck, and he didn't dare to move. Only a pair of frightened eyes were open, staring at him
person
Nian Jiuling and Leng Yue also came over at this time. They had only just noticed the change in the direction of the ship's hull, and they expected that it was time for a showdown with the captain.
The captain suddenly turned his face to Long Wei and pointed to his mouth with one finger in a "I want to speak" gesture.
Long Wei said: "You may promise not to make a noise?" ”
The hook nodded vigorously. Only then did Long Wei relieve him of his acupuncture.
After solving the acupoint, he took a few deep breaths with relief before he spoke in a trembling voice: "Masters, that place is a forbidden place on the sea, and it is the sea
The gate to hell is guarded by sea ghosts. Listen to a small word of persuasion, you can't go, you can't go. ”
Long Wei said coldly: "Hugh has to talk more." ”
Captain Hook was about to cry: "Master...... It's not that the little ones want to talk more. When I ran a boat more than ten years ago, I was lost due to a storm
, I sailed into the sea area by mistake, and that time, it was really nine deaths. I was fortunate enough to pick up a life and come back, so I was able to live to this day, and the little one is really small
I don't want to go to that place anymore. Of the dozen or so people on the boat that time, only I survived, and the others all died. One by one, all of them died
......" was deep fear in his voice.
Long Wei smiled coldly: "I already knew about your experience. You're the only person I can find who has been there and come back alive, so
will find you and let you lead the way. ”
"......" The captain of the iron hook realized that he had been calculated, and he said, well, the remuneration paid by this master is several times that of a normal trip, and it was originally opened
The heart said that he met a master who didn't know the market, but he forgot that pie would not fall from the sky.
Long Wei said in a soothing tone: "If you can't go back to sea this time, your family will get a generous pension of silver taels." ”
This comfort almost soothed the captain and burst into tears. Choked up: "Master, we don't want silver, we want life." ”
"Bang".
The cold light of the water swept by, the scimitar swept the tip of his nose, and Long Wei's cold tone floated: "If you are verbose, chop off one of your hands." ”
Long Wei said: "Don't worry, we won't ask you to lead the way to the near part of Misty Island." I just heard that the sea is full of reefs, and from that reef
You are the only one in the world who survived. Since that experience is so unforgettable, you should still remember the distribution of reefs, right? You just have to take us to wear it
If you want to leave the boat after crossing the reef area, there is a life-saving boat on board, and you can leave by boat. Drive in this direction for another two days and you'll probably be there
It's a sea area. ”
The iron hook was silent, the expression on his face was between confusion and fear, and he trembled slightly.
In order to prevent him from escaping, Long Wei arranged for two soldiers to guard him.
However, the next day, the two guards were knocked unconscious by him, and he ran away.
When he was found to have escaped, he was just rowing a few hundred meters away in a life-saving boat, with a hasty back, as if he was fleeing from hell.
Long Wei, Nian Jiuling, and Leng Yue stood on the side of the boat and watched the boat.
Leng Yue said: "Don't you have to chase him back?" ”
Long Wei said, "No need," shook off an old sheepskin in his hand, "He left this chart in the cabin, and the location of the reef was densely marked
, I thought that it was explored and depicted all the way during his adventure. It must have been that experience that made him palpitate, and he also took this one when he went to sea
The picture is on the body, in case it strays into the sea again. With this chart, there is no need to force him. ”
Leng Yue nodded, only wishing that the poor boat could reach the distant land smoothly. Inadvertently, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the back of the parchment chart in Long Wei's hand
There was a word, and he hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, and turned the sheepskin over.
The three of them looked intently, and saw four large characters in ink on the back of the sheepskin, and the handwriting was half-dry, apparently written by the captain of the hook when he was leaving.
There are ghosts in the water!
The scribbled handwriting of four teeth and claws is shocking. The three of them felt a chill run down their backs.
Long Wei's face was solemn, and he ordered in a deep voice to an officer: "Gather everyone on the ship to come over." ”
The officer was ordered to go. Soon, all the sailors and soldiers on board, amounting to fifty or sixty people, gathered on the deck.
Long Wei's cold and firm gaze slowly swept over the crowd. He said, "I would like to inform you of the true destination of this trip. We're going
The place is called 'Misty Island'. ”
There was a "buzz" in the crowd, and the sailors who had heard about the legend of Misty Island changed their faces.
Long Wei's heavy gaze swept over, and the sailors were quickly silenced. Trembling and waiting for the following.
Long Wei continued: "I'll make things clear. In the Isle of Mist, we know for sure, there is a treasure trove of gold, and there is gold all over it
The land is a mountain of treasures. This trip is to dig up this treasure. When the treasure is found, every brother has a share, and it will not cost you enough for ten lifetimes. ”
When the frightened sailors heard the word "gold", their faces were already fascinated. Long Wei saw that everyone was moved, his eyes flashed slightly, but he was still
Poker face.
But suddenly, someone shouted: "It's not wrong to have money, but you have to have a life to spend!" That place ......"
Long Wei said: "Misty Island is very weird, and it is indeed extremely dangerous to go this way. However, if the husband only knows how to be greedy for life and afraid of death, how can he get ahead? all
The sailors are begging for a life on the cusp of the storm, and the sergeants are also living a life of licking blood from the knife edge, which is originally precarious, why not gamble? If so
If you succeed, your father, your wife, and your children will be able to enjoy all the glory and wealth with you. ”
Speaking of which, most people are already tempted. But there are still timid voices to leave the ship.
Long Wei nodded expressionlessly: "Listen to it." ”
The sailor pulled his leg and ran to the lifeboat. Before my hand touched the edge of the boat, I felt a chill on my back. I looked down in a daze, and saw a touch of Qingfeng's heart
Mouth seeps.
Long Wei slowly drew his sword from his vest. There was not a drop of blood left on the water-colored sword. The man has not yet fallen, but he has already lost his breath.
Long Wei's eyes were like a cold pool for ten thousand years. said coldly: "Is there anyone else leaving?" ”
No one spoke up again.
Long Wei's gaze swept across everyone's faces: "If there is anyone who escapes without permission, it will be killed." His voice was not loud, but it pierced almost everyone's heart.
"Then, go and do your job, and set sail immediately." Long Wei said.
The crowd dispersed in silence and returned to their respective posts.
Long Wei stood still for a moment, his eyes falling on the sailor who had fallen under his sword, blood slowly leaking from under the corpse.
