"Stupid, stupid, simply stupid."

Hofho, who had arrived at the same time as the sailors, or pirates, tried to cut through the frozen ice, but had not taken part in the toil, stood far away on the dry shore, chewing on what little jerky was left in his mouth, and sneering at the actions of the men.

Hofhoke had already advised this group of people, if the winters in previous years were caused by the sneezing of the gods, then this year's winter is definitely a god who has a severe cold, and the snot on both sides hangs longer than urine.

"Look, you've worked so hard to cut a crack that's not as big as Jenny, and it's about to freeze again! Look, you're working for nothing! Hofhorn was furious, or simply cursed the group unkindly, "All have to die!" They all have to die! ”

After chewing the jerky in his mouth, Hofho just finished spilling the evil breath in his heart, and cursed the heavens and the earth, and then saw the group of people who were still in high spirits just now walking back with their tools down, and the mood that had been bad for several weeks suddenly improved.

However, instead of coming to Hofho's side, the pirates repaired on the shore, presumably thinking that they would wait for his men to regain some strength before continuing to dig into the ice.

Although Hofho had the vocabulary and strength to continue cursing pirates, he never had the courage to curse to his face, so when he saw the pirates returning, he walked away quickly without waiting for them to get close, and returned to the cave where it was not much warmer.

The road in the cave was rough and difficult, and Hofho Smeared walked cautiously for a few moments before returning to the place where he had been resting, where a bonfire was lit, and in it was simmered with snow water and dried meat, as well as so much salt that could not melt at all.

Yes, salt.

Salt piled up throughout the cave's resting place.

Hofho never dreamed that they would have to run aground here because of the sudden freezing of the sea, only to find out that this place belonged to the untold force to make the sea salt.

At present, it is estimated that they will not be able to leave here in a short time, and based on the food they carry, it is estimated that they will not be able to leave here in this life, and Hofho also has the idea of enjoying a handful before dying, so he simply filled the iron pot with salt, and would rather die of salt than freeze to death and starve to death.

"Lord Hovho, do you put this cave ...... Take care of it? Seeing that his master finally couldn't bear to freeze back to the campfire, Hofhoo's private army finally mustered up the courage to make a request to Hofho, "It's too bad luck to be with a few dead people anyway." ”

"That must be... No, you cannot. Hofho blurted out without thinking about it, but stopped for a long time in the middle to sell his feet, "A few old people were frozen when they were alive, and it would be too pitiful if they were still exposed to the wilderness when they died, although this cave is cold and dark, but it is more or less a place to shelter from the wind and rain." ”

The old men, who had been dead for many days, arrived at the ostensibly unremarkable salt works almost at the same time as the Hofho and the others, who had just directed the pirates to urgently transfer the goods he was going to sell from the ship to the cave, when the old men who had gotten to the beach from nowhere appeared.

It was too dark, and the pirates were so frightened by the sudden appearance of the old man that they immediately mistook that this was a place that had long been occupied by a pirate gang, and when they found out that the ship was about to dock, they hid and took advantage of their own inattention to kill another one by surprise.

So as soon as they saw the figure appear, they didn't have time to identify the comer, so they directly smashed the comer, leaving the pirates who were left to ask where they lived, so that they could survive this ice period that they had never seen before.

As a result, the pirates used all the torture they could think of, and the only old man who remained did not spit out a word, allowing his flesh and blood to be stripped off little by little, and finally died of pain.

Hofho couldn't bear to stop the pirates' atrocities, but the situation was quite delicate at the moment, and with his weak personal armament, he didn't dare to turn against the pirates directly, so he could only collect the bodies of a few old men after the pirates had little interest in the torture work, and at least put them in decent clothes, and then kept them in a corner of the cave.

Although Hofho did not speak well in front of the pirates, his own private army was quite loyal, and after hearing Hofho's categorical refusal, the private soldiers did not say anything more, but hoped that Hofho would take care to keep warm and not venture out again, and then continue to rest, or half-lie down and stand guard.

"I'm old enough to be told to pay attention to my body?" After the private soldier walked away for a distance, Hofho touched his beard slightly, and as a result, he brushed off a few white beards, and then he remembered as if he had just woken up from a dream, he is also 50 years old this year, and his son and daughter have been married for many years and scattered all over the mainland, "If I survive, then I should let go after this transaction." ”

"Let go?" Hofhoo didn't expect that his private muttering alone had already been heard clearly by the visitor who had just returned to the cave, and when the man passed by, even the private soldiers who seemed a little casual in the face of Hofho were busy standing up, standing up straight, and the other four or five private soldiers were about the same.

"Moore, you're back? How's it going? Hearing the noise behind him, Hofhoe quickly got up, walked quickly to the person he had become Moore, and reached out to flick away the accumulated snowflakes on his clothes.

In fact, Hofhoo's private armies wondered if this handsome-looking young man could be the illegitimate son of Hofhoo, whom they had never met, and that this voyage was to make an unprecedented deal of business for the young man, so that he could hand over all the family business to him in the future.

"Hofho, you just said you wanted to let go?" Instead of responding to the other party's impatient question, Moore was asking him how careful he was at first.

Hofhuel's hand movements did not stop, but it seemed that there was no intention of answering the question. Seeing that Hofhoe was silent, Moore then spoke, "Your son is working for the great kingdoms, and your daughter is married into a noble family with your money, and it seems that they all have a great future, but in fact, as long as you cut off the supply of money to them, it will all be like a bubble on the seashore, which will burst at the touch of a touch." ”

At the end of his speech, Moore added, "By the way, the sea is still frozen, and there is not even foam." ”

Moore's words are a bit vicious, in fact, he hasn't had long eyes all the way, not to mention that these people have done something that he doesn't like to see, even if they are pirates who are used to killing people and goods, he can bounce on the two of them without changing his face.

In the face of such faceless remarks, Hofho did not speak, because what he said was the truth, and he refuted it.
