Chapter 6: The Tempest
In the middle of the night the next day, the long-awaited storm finally arrived.
Zhou Tang, who had already fallen asleep, immediately opened his eyes, jumped out of the narrow bed, and opened the hatch by holding on to the bulkhead of the ship, preparing to do his part.
was pushed in by the fat uncle, "Amy, stay in the room well, don't come out and make trouble." ”
A cold chill was close to her palm, a flintlock pistol was stuffed into her hand, and the fat uncle said solemnly, "Little Amy, you have to guard the kitchen floor!" Except for the baron, it doesn't matter if everyone else is dead or alive. ”
Looking at the gun in his hand, Zhou Tang's face flashed with astonishment, "Uncle! ”
The fat uncle only said, "Little Amy, this gun is just borrowed for you, hmm, you can use it, right?" I think you've wanted to have one for a long time.
This is still what I took from the people of country F, and the next time I meet people from country F, I will take a handful and give it to you. ”
Zhou Tang clenched the cold flintlock pistol, but her heart was hot, and she nodded solemnly.
The fat uncle laughed twice and staggered out of the kitchen.
Zhou Tang's back was tightly attached to the cabin, but he didn't expect the heartfelt push in the morning, in exchange for an unexpected result, who said that NPCs have no heart?
She speculated that the Baron and his party would not choose this time of the storm if they wanted to do it, and at this time, the experienced crew members who treated the ship as half a family could only barely complete the captain's instructions, let alone the delicate and frail players?
However, there were no absolutes, and she was quite optimistic about the two of the baron's guards, especially the slender and handsome blonde man.
The blonde man Cheng Mu didn't expect it, and swayed out of the cabin under his incomprehensible gaze.
"Hey, I said brother, what are you doing out at this time?!" Yu Chi's hand tightly grasped the pillar beside him, and he still felt insecure, feeling that he was about to be thrown out of a human sandbag.
Cheng Mu replied, "Naturally, I went outside to see if there was anything I needed help with." ”
Yu Chi's current appearance is very funny, a big piece of meat shrunk into a ball, "What are you doing with that boss?" Don't be careless and be jumped into the sea. Don't forget our plans and save some energy for big things! When the time comes, we'll take up the kitchen, so don't think about eating white food. ”
A cold look flashed in Cheng Mu's eyes, and only Cheng Mu's rather heroic slanted back answered him.
The short journey from the cabin to the wheelhouse took Cheng Mu more than three times as long as before, and in the passage, he also met the other crew members.
When the other crew members heard Cheng Mu say that he had served in the navy and planned to help at this time, they couldn't help but show a smile of relief and took him to the deputy captain.
Because of the captain's weak health, all the affairs of the ship were temporarily replaced by the deputy captain.
Eric, who was covered in water, stared at Cheng Mu for a while, and finally patted Cheng Mu on the shoulder a few times, and shouted loudly, "You follow Bell!" Bell, you go and give Theseus a hand, the canvas is stuck and won't be pulled off, we have to change direction. ”
Bell is the crew member who brought Cheng Mu here before.
As soon as Cheng Mu came up, Eric arranged a thrilling job for him, the so-called good steel should be used on the blade, how could the coolies sent to the door not be used well, so that he could play a huge value? !
Try it as a mule or a horse!
Besides, even if Cheng Mu has a ghost in his heart, he will be in vain at this time and under this kind of work!
Bell was ordered to leave with Cheng Mu, and Eric readjusted the plan and gave instructions to the crew.
The mast of the pirate ship was already being held tightly by a young and muscular man, and at the right time a huge wave hit and completely submerged the man.
Bell, who was leaning against the bulkhead of the ship, turned his head with a pale face and said, "Theseus, he won't last long, let's go and help, can you climb up?" ”
Cheng Mu's whole body was already wet, and his eyes were extremely firm, "Of course." ”
Bell really glanced at Cheng Mu, originally he thought that the people around the baron, including the baron, were all showy, and they were useless, but he didn't expect this person to really dare to respond.
Cheng Mu seized the opportunity and went under the mast with the mutual support of Bell.
Bell shouted, "Theseus, come down, go up for me!" ”
Theseus stretched out a hand to wipe the rain and sea water off his face, and slowly slid down.
When he landed, there was a huge wave rushing in, and the boat suddenly tilted greatly, but fortunately, Cheng Muyan quickly grabbed his collar and stabilized his body that was going to dedicate himself to the ocean.
Bell hurriedly helped Cheng Mu save Theseus.
At this time, Bell no longer continued to test Cheng Mu's sincerity, and decided to climb the mast and pull the canvas instead, but Cheng Mu directly stuffed Theseus into his arms.
"Look out for him! I'll go. ”
Cheng Mu climbed up with both hands and feet, firmly holding the mast when the huge waves hit, and as soon as the huge waves receded, he kept climbing up.
He didn't choose to tear off the canvas with all the effort that Theseus did, but climbed to the top with the huge waves, pulled out the dagger tied to his ankle, and slashed at the rope with a knife.
The canvas was finally torn off, and Cheng Mu also slid down.
Bell grabbed Cheng Mu, who was a little weak, put his arm on his shoulder, and slowly entered the cabin with Theseus, who had regained his strength a little.
But the storm is not over yet, it is far more terrible than imagined, the sea water seems to be pouring in, and Zhou Tang's eyes are full of sorrow.
At the bottom of the pirate ship, the group of slaves was like human sandbags, shaking with the ship, and the guards outside the door had already returned to the cabin for safety.
Everywhere they could see, the bulkhead of the ship, where the slaves had been forced to be thrown off, showed an ominous dark red, shimmering in the darkness and the sound of the sea.
One of the slaves had a glowing glow in his dark red eyes.
Yu Chi didn't know how long it took, maybe soon, maybe every other autumn, the knock on the door sounded heavily, through the roaring waves, he was shocked to realize that he was covered in sweat at the moment, and the sweat slid through his eyes, stinging his eyes.
"Yu Chi! It's me! The baron's voice rang out outside, "Quick! It was at this time that we went according to plan. ”
Only then did Yu Chi react, the pirate ship no longer seemed to be shaking violently, and the sound of the waves beating outside the ship was much quieter.
Did this pirate ship survive the storm?!
Yu Chi let go of his hand, shook his hand to relax his tense emotions, and opened the hatch, the baron looked eager, "What about Cheng Mu?!" Why are you alone? ”
Yu Chi pursed his lips and said, "Cheng Mu went to those crew members to offer his affection, and I don't know if he fell into the sea, and he hasn't come back yet." ”
The baron's sense of security in holding the flintlock pistol in his hand skyrocketed, and he frowned slightly, "We can't care so much, we will take advantage of the exhaustion of the crew at this time and directly occupy the kitchen!" In the kitchen, the fat chef and the kid who didn't have the same hair are not the same, don't worry! ”
Yu Chi walked out of the cabin with his long sword, and saw that the baroness and children were all on the side, and without saying anything, he rushed to the kitchen with someone.
