Chapter Twenty-Five: The World-Weary Youth in the Tavern
After sending the three of them away, Qingji returned to the tavern and ordered a large glass of beer, sitting at the table against the wall and drinking slowly.
After leaving the navy, he was a little confused.
Although he had a purpose, he had a bit of a hard time getting started.
"What's next?" Qingji looked at the bubbles rising from the wine glass and muttered in a low voice.
Recruiting partners is not an easy task, and Seoji knows this: "Alas......"
"Alas......"
To the left of the temple sat a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, who took two sips of his drink and sighed deeply.
He turned his head to look at the Qingsi on the side, and then sat down with a wine glass: "Boy, why are you sighing?" ”
Qingsi said very calmly: "I'm worried about recruiting partners, what about you? And what are you sighing for? ”
The young man was already drunk, his face was flushed when he drank, and he said to Qingsi: "Hiccup......, I sue you, the girl I like has run away with someone else and is going to be a pirate!" Murray's nasty fellow, he kidnapped my beloved. ”
"You just said you were going to recruit partners?"
"Do you want to be a bastard pirate too? Do you want to be a beast that dares to oppress civilians? ”
"Don't be stupid brother, there are no big secret treasures, these pirates are a group of crazy people who are being used."
"There is no ...... saved in this world, hehehehe......"
Qingji looked at the boastful young man, and his eyes swept over the rest of the tavern. It's a tavern, and a lot of pirates drink here.
Hearing the young man's words, they immediately became angry, a tall and strong man stood up, looked at his appearance, smelled the fishy smell on his body, and knew that he was a pirate who had been at sea for many years.
Someone openly insults pirates, is this acceptable?
He walked over to the boy and picked up the boy's clothes: "Is the stinky boy drunk?" What nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to hammer your stinky mouth! ”
The boy was still smiling: "Isn't what I said the truth?" Do bastard pirates want to hit people? There's a naval base here, and I'm not afraid of you. ”
The pirate was immediately enraged, his fists clenched, and the green tendons on his arms exploded, and he quickly struck the young man's head.
Qingji just wanted to make a move, but the young man took out a short knife out of nowhere, and slashed it from the bottom to the top, and the pirate let go of the young man, and he looked at his front in disbelief.
Blood quickly smeared his chest.
The boy sat down in a chair: "How's it going?" My scalpel is sharp, isn't it? You're the one who did it, bastard. ”
"Ahh......h ”
A few more rough miners stood up, this time with knives with them.
Seeing this, the tavern owner immediately asked the waiter in the store to sneak out through the back door and call the navy.
The pirate stood in front of the boy with a fierce look, and the strong man snatched the big knife from his companion's hand and slashed at the boy heavily.
The boy swayed from side to side, just as he dodged the heavy blow, and the silver-white scalpel in his hand flew out of his hand quickly, and at once plunged into the pirate's neck.
"Hans!"
"Stinky boy! I want you to be broken into pieces! ”
The rest of the pirates slashed at the boy with big knives, originally wanting to see what the boy was capable of, but who would have thought that he would climb directly on the chair railing and fall asleep.
Qingsi appeared in front of him, covering his arms with armed colors, blocking the blows of several pirates, and then quickly poked out a few finger guns, and several pirates suddenly rolled their eyes and fell to their knees.
Hearing the chaos outside, Qingsi picked up the drunk and fainted boy and walked to the boss and asked, "Where is the back door?" ”
The boss had a serious face, and his head shook like a rattle.
Qingji gestured with a fist.
The boss instantly smiled, put on another face to point out a path to Qingsi, and even said welcome next time......
Seiji came out of the back door and headed straight for the port of the ship.
Then a group of navy with torches was seen coming towards the harbor, Qingsi anchored Yang Fan, and the ship quickly left the harbor and disappeared into the darkness.
The next day, the sun was shining.
The boy woke up from his sleep, his brows furrowed, he took a cold breath and muttered, "Hiss......, my head hurts so much......"
"Is it because of the drinks you drank yesterday? I broke the vows ......, wait, it seems like yesterday...... I killed someone! ”
The boy sat up from the floor, his chest heaving violently, trying to remember what had happened last night, the image of the scalpel inserted into the pirate's neck kept flickering in his mind, the picture was a little blurry, and the boy didn't want to believe it.
But when he saw the blood on his body, his pupils trembled, this was the blood spurted from the pirate's throat rupture, and he hugged his head in pain: "I killed someone, I actually killed someone......"
"Are you going to be caught and punished? How can it be repaired! ”
Qingsi walked out of the cabin with two cups of lemon tea, and saw the young man sitting on the ground curled up in a ball and said, "Hey, you're awake, don't worry, I've already taken you away, and the navy can't catch you." ”
"You are?"
The young man looked up at Qingji wistfully, and after a short thought, he blurted out: "That pirate who wants to recruit a partner!" ”
Qingsi smiled and said, "It's not a pirate, I haven't figured out what it's called, but you can't go back." ”
"Do you want to go to sea with me?"
Qingji sat on a chair next to him, took a sip of lemon tea, and asked the young man to come on board with a sour expression.
The boy was still in a panic, and he looked at the deck in front of him.
Qingsi said casually: "It's okay if you don't get on the boat, I can send you to the nearest town." ”
After a while, the boy stood up.
"I'm on board, but I can't be a pirate."
He figured out that there was nothing left to be nostalgic on that island, and that if he went back without being arrested, he would lose his job and find it difficult to find a new job.
Who will go for a murderer.
It's better to get on the boat and take a look, but he will never do it to be a pirate to burn and loot, after all, his parents were killed by damn pirates.
Qingji motioned for him to sit down on a chair beside him.
He came over and sat down, and wanted to pick up the lemon tea on the table, but was flicked away by Qingsi's hand: "What are you doing?" This is what I prepared for myself, and I want to drink it and do it myself. ”
Qingji continued: "By the way, what's your name? What will be done? Will it fight? ”
"My name is Chizuki Shimada, I'm a doctor, and I can't fight......"
Qingsi squinted his eyes and said, "Can't fight?" I think you were quite tough yesterday, and you took out a pirate who was much bigger than you in a few clicks, so why didn't you fight? ”
Qian Yue remembered the picture of last night, he had a frightened expression on his face, shook his head and said, "I really can't fight, it was an accident, right......?"
