A large gold coin with the strange smiling face of a pig beast, and a black semicircle of tortoiseshell stone with the word "ancient" on it. Two things, two stories, Tao Xiaozhi couldn't help but laugh when he saw these two things. The former was a souvenir given to him by the people of the strange island when Tao Xiaozhi passed by the strange hut in Evil Flower County, and the gold coin was given to him by the king of the strange island. On this trip, when Tao Xiaozhi heard that the route passed through the strange island and where it was possible to stop to fill the food, he thought, maybe the story of this gold coin could continue. And this strange stone was given to him by his mysterious "master" on his way to Fat Sheep Mountain, and he didn't even see what the "master" looked like, what his name was, why he accepted him as an apprentice, etc., he didn't know anything, he just gave him this stone as a "meeting gift". The story is weird, but it's funny. A lot of good memories, after many years, tend to forget, and for some very sad, sad, hateful or weird things are often remembered, to put it bluntly, bad things are actually the biggest stimulation of people's brain memory cells, people are such animals. He cherishes such memories very much, so he also cherishes these two things and always carries them with him.

The sea breeze was light, although the wind of the Black Sea seemed unusually fishy, and the sun was not shining, but at least he was still in a good mood, standing quietly on the deck, watching the black waves roll up, thinking about these strange and interesting things.

Today is the fifth day of sailing, and there are still about ten miles to the strange island, and there is still about twice the distance of the previous voyage from the bastard egg island.

"It's time to eat—"

This voice is a little hoarse, obviously a person who has experienced vicissitudes, but after experiencing vicissitudes, he is still optimistic about life, it is the sailor Lao Wang on this ship. It's a common name, and the man is an honest man, but he has a different experience: it is said that he is a man who has gone through countless water battles and died many times, but every time the king of Yama does not want him, because the king of Yama does not like to take boats. He is an ageless legend of the sailor of the Hailong Peninsula, but because he has reached the end of his life, in the fierce competition for the position of sailor, this legend has also been swept down, and he can only be a sailor and do logistics. He also said that who would want an old man to go to war, unless he wanted to save the coffin. He was the leader of one of the other veterans and three remnants, the temporary captain of the coffin-wrecked ship.

Today's lunch was quite plentiful: some braised pork, some sun-dried vegetables and turnips, a plate of peanuts, freshly caught edible seafood (there are still edible creatures in the Black Sea), and most importantly, a pot of wine! When asked, it was actually Lao Wang's 60th birthday.

Eight people gathered around the table and began to sing birthday songs to Lao Wang, and then they ate with their stomachs open and drank happily. Lao Wang is also quite happy, because he has always been lonely, he has no home since he was a child, and he has always taken the sea as his home when he grew up, and today's birthday is the happiest he has ever had. After a few rounds of drinking, the feeling gradually came up. Although the wine is inferior, it is too strong, and there is nothing strange about the iron bucket falling, but Amu has fallen, and he can only blame the stamina of this wine is too much, Tao Xiaozhi has begun to feel that the ship is turning over, although it is calm now.

But the old king, who drank the most today, was not drunk, and neither were the other four sailors, perhaps because they were used to drinking this wine or because they were all massive.

Tao Xiaozhi put his arm on Lao Wang's shoulder, held the wine glass and said, "I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than the Purple Mountain!"

A strange smile flashed at the corner of Lao Wang's mouth, and then his round eyes opened fiercely: "I wish you - don't die well, die to feed the sea beasts of the Black Sea!"

In the laughter of everyone, when Tao Xiaozhi was about to understand the meaning of this sentence, his eyes were already turned off - he also fell.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"How's that, it's cool, isn't it?"

Grinning, still smiling.

Tao Xiaozhi was woken up by a basin of urine, and the nausea all over his body made him busy vomiting when he just woke up.

Amu and the bucket were of course awakened by this particular way, and the three of them vomited at each other, and the three of them were tied together, right on the pillar of the sail on the deck.

"Is the wine good?" At this time, Lao Wang's previous vicissitudes of life but kind wrinkles had now become twisted and hideous, and he was licking a small sharp knife, and then laughed hideously.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "You put sweat medicine in it?"

"Clever!" Lao Wang picked Tao Xiaozhi's chin with a knife, "It's a pity, it's a little late to know now!"

Another old sailor said, "Do you know why we weren't poisoned?"

"Because we've already taken the antidote!haha。。。。。。。 He asked himself questions, as if he was afraid that someone else would rob him of his answer.

Iron bucket said: "We have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm us?"

"What?!" Lao Wang said angrily: "Little rabbit cub, you not only have an enmity with us, but also with the people of the Sea Dragon Peninsula!"

In this way, everyone knows the reason.

Tao Xiaozhi said: "You were sent by the county guard, right?"

Lao Wang smiled: "Of course, I am a legend among the sailors!" and then several other people laughed.

It's not so easy to see that on the surface, they are old and weak, but many things are hidden, and they are the elite of the elite among the sailors! Everyone has a lot of stories behind them, and they have a lot of halos on their heads! The plan of the county guard turns out to be just killing two birds with one stone: on the one hand, you can sell a favor to your brother with braids. On the other hand, he can throw Tao Xiaozhi and others into the sea unknowingly. It's a seamless ploy!

Tao Xiaozhi finally figured out why his brother had borrowed boats and soldiers so smoothly.

"It's just that you're too tender, and you still need to touch a lot of walls in reality - it's a pity that you won't have a chance to hit the wall in the future, because there is no 'future'!"

The bucket said, "Are you going to kill us?"

Lao Wang slapped Tietong's fat face with a knife, snapped, and said with a smile: "You are finally smart!"

Amu said: "You took advantage of our confusion to end us up, aren't you clean?"

Lao Wang said: "First, I want the four of you to understand. Second, I can't be so cheap for you: I'm going to cut off your flesh piece by piece, and let you taste all the pain of the world before you die!"

The men laughed in tacit agreement again.

Amu scolded angrily: "What a poisonous heart, even if I am a ghost, I will torture you in the same way!"

Lao Wang's sharp knife cut through Amu's clothes, and the hair on his chest swam on the back of the knife, and he smiled: "You say, I cut your piece first, can you feel very cool?"

Another old sailor sneered: "I suggest that you cut that little nipple, where is it estimated that it will be more sensitive, it is easy to reach *~~~"

Lao Wang said: "Yes, it is exactly what I want." Then the tip of the knife slowly slashed toward the place—"You're not human! I'm going to gnaw off all your bones。。。。。。。。。 Amu shouted, what he was afraid of was not death, but such humiliation!

When the old king was about to cut it, there was a sudden "whoosh" and a blood shot out, splashing the blood on Amu's face—and an arrow on the old king's forehead, planted there like a wild flower!

The other four people panicked, and when they slashed at them, there were a few "whoosh" sounds, and each of them also "planted" a wildflower on their heads, and then they fell, and they didn't even know what was "growing" on their heads!

Tao Xiaozhi and the three of them turned around, saw a skeleton fluttering on the sail with a rose in its mouth, heard a burst of cheers, and then saw the skeleton active on the deck - the Rose and the Skull!!
