Chapter 2: Out of the Wolf's Mouth! Into the Tiger's Den?
After Ace said for a long time, the headache was really unbearable, but fortunately, Xin Rui quickly helped him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The pirates are gone, and the remaining children neither cry nor make a fuss, all they have in their eyes is despair. Happy people are the same, but unfortunate people have their own misfortunes, perhaps these children have long been numb under the oppression of pirates.
"Ace, why do you bother? Being killed by the pirates made me happy, isn't it a more terrible thing to wait for death like this now? - But fortunately, you're still with me, and I know you're going to be ...... like you did. ”
"What was it at the beginning?"
Ace saw Xinrui's lips squirming up and down, and wanted to ask clearly, but considering that it was easy to expose himself, he had to turn his gaze to the side.
"Why are these people all hanging out! If you don't run away, are you waiting to die? What are you kidding, I've only been here for three days and I haven't experienced anything, so I'm going to die like this? Absolutely not!!"
Ace patted Xinrui's hand and motioned for her to let go, then walked to the splint and looked around, there was a vast sea in the distance, and some rags floated in the near distance, with a faint smell of blood coming from the sea breeze, and at the stern of the boat, you could still see the small boats that left intermittently.
"We have to get out of here before those pirates are done looting the boat, or it'll be too late!"
Although there are no extra boats on the current ship, but it's not a big problem! Anyway, this big ship is about to sink, and Ace doesn't have the ability to dismantle some planks to make a boat, but fortunately, he is now a child's body, as long as there are planks that can bear his weight and float on the water.
After thinking about this, Ace immediately conveyed his idea to Xinrui, and asked her to organize the other children to make a plank to escape together.
Ace saw that the children looked at each other in disbelief after listening to Xinrui's words, and shook his head! The method has already told them, as for whether to give it a try, it is their freedom, Ace can't control it, and he can't do it. Pulled Raxinrui and kept her busy with her.
Seeing this scene, the children knew that this might be the last hope to live, and their empty eyes showed a hint of longing for life, and they began to act separately.
In fact, as long as there is something that can float on the water, it is fine, but thinking of the scene on the sea, Ace still decided to make the plank bigger and thicker, but there is no perfect thing in the world, although it is not as good as expected, but Ace still had to push the plank into the water in advance, because he heard footsteps-
Unable to care more, Ace hurriedly pushed the plank into the water along with Xinrui, and when he was about to jump into the sea again, he was grabbed by the pirates who rushed out.
Seeing this scene, Xinrui, who emerged from the sea, was about to swim back to save Ace but saw Ace's refusal look, but she didn't care so much! Ace had no choice but to let out a desperate roar of "escape".
Xinrui also replied with a look that would never run away alone, but the mutation protruded, and several animals similar to Ace's dolphins in his previous life appeared in the sea, and he put Xinrui on the plank at once, and then worked together to protect the plank and swim away, although I don't know why this is but Ace is finally relieved, looking at this situation, at least Xinrui can be saved, maybe this is enough.
The pirates only captured Ace because they wanted to escape from the ship with the help of his wit, but now that they saw Xinrui's "practical demonstration", they abandoned Ace and began to make escape planks.
Ace lay on the deck indifferent, Xinrui's plank was successful because of her small size and plenty of time, and now that the big ship had only one bow floating on the water, it was impossible for the adults to escape.
Sure enough, the pirates failed to collect enough wood, so they had to lean on it with the help of a small plank to swim away, but unfortunately they were attacked by animals in the sea before they could swim far, and the smell of blood would only attract more sea creatures, so how far could these guys who only had the water above their shoulders swim?
Looking around at the fact that there was no one around, Ace looked at the sky and chose the "highest point" to lie down, although he had only been in this other world for three short days, and most of the time was spent in the dark and damp bilge of the ship, but he still felt very happy.
In the past three days, Ace has felt the care and love of people other than his parents from Xinrui, which is an experience he has never experienced in his previous life, and at the end of his life, he can save this kind and lovely little girl, he thinks this may be the reason why he will come here.
"Captain, look! there's a little boy floating there. ”
"It's not like I've never seen a dead body, so hurry up and salvage the wreck and see if there's anything of value on board, you slacker." ”
"No, he's alive! Are we going to save him?"
"You can do it yourself, but don't blame me for not reminding you that the food on board is limited. ”
At this time, because of the salvage, the hull shook for a while, and the captain accidentally dropped the things he was holding into the sea, and the crew members who were still idle were immediately commanded by the captain to go to the sea to retrieve them.
Ace, who was waiting for death, was first woken up by a loud noise, and in a daze, he thought it was a hallucination, and then a wave slapped on him, which completely woke up, but he also lost his balance and was poured a few mouths of seawater.
Among the men who went into the water was a boy of sixteen or seventeen, who had long blond hair, and not only that, but his eyes were golden. Don't look at his small swimming, he was not slow, and after getting the things dropped by the captain, he found that Ace was still alive and beckoned him to swim towards him.
Ace was successfully rescued, and when several people surrounded him and asked him his name, he held back for a long time before finally spit out the two syllables of "Ace".
This can't be blamed on Ace, it's also a strategy - dragging time to observe the situation, being watched like this, it's obviously the rhythm of just getting out of the wolf's den and entering the tiger's mouth!!
"It's not dumb, but it's not much different from a dumb one, -- you saved the Rozi, so his food was deducted from you. ”
Luo Qi nodded silently and showed a sincere smile to Ace, which made Ace's nervousness lessen, and at the same time smiled back and said, "Thank you!"
"Captain, wait a minute!" said a skinny monkey in the crowd to Ace, "I ask you, what are you going to do? ”
"Looking for books, you slacker, everyone agrees with you and talking about a fart!"
"Luo Qi has my share of food, how can I share it with others casually!"
But it seems that this man who is called a book seeker has a very good relationship with Luo Qi! Why should he embarrass himself? Is it because of the shortage of food? But since the opportunity to live is in front of him, how can Ace let it go.
"What can I do? I can distill seawater into fresh water, which is a great skill at sea! ”
Ace thought about another headache, lowered his head and rubbed it, and inadvertently saw what the captain was holding in his hand, but it's not strange that there is this thing in another world, do you want to give it a try?
Anyway, there is no loss, if it really doesn't work, come up with the distillation method, although it will be a little troublesome, but there will always be a way. Thinking so, Ace pointed to the captain's hand and signaled that he would play with it.
"What? You mean you know how to play with this little box!"
Ace nodded and took the things handed by the captain, and silently recited the mantra in his heart: "The first cross, the top corner returns, the flip returns, the top cross, the top edge returns, the top corner returns, and you're done!"
"Y-You've played with this stuff before?"
The captain took the "Rubik's Cube" that Ace had turned all the same colors to the same side, touched his chin with his other hand and looked at Ace thoughtfully, and said with a click: "Yes, it seems that it is still a little useful, if only I could meet you three months ago." But it's not too late, little one, your uncle will take care of the food, so you can stay on my ship with peace of mind. ”
The captain then waved his hand and motioned for Rozzie to take Ace to arrange accommodation, and then continued to supervise the rest of the crew to salvage the wreck, while looking at the empty box in the center of the Rubik's Cube that had been opened.
"Captain, didn't you open this thing two days ago? you didn't say anything about it, and then you took us around here, and now you inexplicably take in this little ghost, I really don't understand you anymore. ”
"Kutch, why don't you understand such a simple thing? Captain is a pity! The mystery that took the captain nearly three months to solve, this kid only solved it in a while, although there may be reasons for him to play it before, but this just shows that he has a good mind, otherwise who would play that thing? plus Luo Qi, who is more talented in martial arts, the captain is now surrounded by both civil and military skills, right, captain!"
"Haha, is it both civil and military? It seems that Kutch, the 'old man' on your ship, has been in the sea for too long, and you should learn more from Duo Yi that the current business is not as easy as it used to be!--Damn mercenaries!!"
Ace had found another place to stay, and according to his observations, the ship should have been an ordinary merchant ship, with only eight people on board, including himself.
After a few days together, Ace got to know everyone a little bit. First of all, Luo Qi, his hair color is so dazzling in the crowd, it is said that Mishu "picked up" him in the seaside town of Yulin Continent, and then saw that he was lonely and took him on the boat, and now everyone knows nothing about his previous life; the exclusive title of "Slacker";
Next is Duo Yi, the third in command of this ship, this man is a quick and wise man, and then the second in command Kutch, the oldest of the people, and he is the one who has followed the captain the longest, and it can be said that half of the credit for the current achievements of this ship is in it; and finally there is the captain, whose name is unknown, everyone has always called him the captain, and his main role on the ship, the foreign trade Duo Yi has the internal command of Kutch, so Ace has not seen him do anything, all he sees is to lock himself alone in the captain's room, or just blow the wind in the bow of the ship。
As for the remaining two, one is called Zuowei and the other is called Youmen, they were found by the captain two months ago, and although they were assigned the task of sailors, they drank most of the day and ignored others, and felt that they were more like the captains of this ship.
