Chapter 360: What You Don't Want, What You Can't Get
So far, Wren can only take off the hat he got from Alleghe and reveal his true identity.
Alohan realizes that he has made a big fuss, and the identity of this mysterious passenger who has been temporarily stuffed into the hitchhike is certainly special, but the money is definitely not available.
Alohan didn't know what to say for a while, so he casually chatted a few more words and ended the conversation hastily, and the others also had their own thoughts, and the whole car was silent again.
At this time, it seemed that Wren, the only outsider, was a little redundant, and he felt that getting into this car was like getting on a small broken boat that was about to capsize, and the people on the boat were embarrassed to see who was facing each other.
But he can't jump out of the car.
Wren looked out the window, and on the right hand side of the coach was a large river parallel to the road, and the destination of their trip was the kingdom of Lugull at the end of the river, built on the delta at the mouth of the sea. The road taken by the bus is basically along the direction of the big river, the distance is sometimes near and sometimes far, occasionally passing the bridge across the river, and it will also go around the distance to connect the nearby towns.
Like the current road between the river valleys, it is a very close distance between the two sides. The road follows the foot of the valley, just a few meters above the river, and the river goes down an almost straight slope beyond the guardrail.
Not far ahead, on the river, a boat moored caught Wren's attention.
The boat was so close to the shore that if it weren't for the hull below, it would have been almost clinging to the steep slope of the road, and the hull was almost the same height as the road.
The hull was painted with fancy colors but there was no specific theme to be seen, and the colorful lights outlined and decorated the outline of the ship, and although it was not yet dark, it was still very commotionally lit up. The most striking thing is the huge lettering sign on the top of the boat, but the content doesn't seem to have any real meaning, probably something like "Howw! Such onomatopoeia.
Wren couldn't help but look at it twice, although he felt that the position where the boat was parked was too close to the road was a safety hazard, but he didn't think much about it, maybe it was some kind of colorful boat, such as advertising, or simply like the kind of roadside stalls.
In broad daylight, you can't ......
"Squeak!!
The sharp sound of brakes stung everyone's eardrums, and the people in the car fell forward, complaining one after another.
After knowing Wren's identity, Alokhan has complained about the driver's unauthorized decision to take strangers into the car, and this anger is unreasonable and can't be sent to Wren, at this time, he braked suddenly, he was suddenly angry, and yelled in the direction of the driver: "What the hell are you doing!" Is there such a brake?! ”
The driver seemed to be frightened, wiping his sweat with one hand, caressing his chest with the other, and said aggrievedly: "I don't want to, who knew that a group of people suddenly appeared in the middle of the road." ”
Wren stood up when he heard this, and looked through the windshield in front of the car, and saw more than a dozen people dressed strangely and in the same style as the colorful boats on the side standing in the middle of the road, with several large stones in front of them, blocking their way.
It should be the people on that boat.
They carry weapons such as scimitars and harpoons, and you have to pay attention to the dozens of colorful parrots on their arms, shoulders, or heads.
Wren had a strange look: Is this a pirate?
Alohan thought of robbers and the like, and hurriedly shouted at the driver: "Reverse! Hurry up and reverse! Why are you stunned, why don't you run quickly? ”
"No...... No, I can't. The driver looked at the group of fierce people in front of him, glanced at the rearview mirror and said helplessly: "The back is also blocked." ”
Alohan looked behind him, and sure enough, he saw several people in the same costume pushing a few stones from the nearby hill to the middle of the road, and now there was no way back.
"What should I do?"
Alokhan was sweating profusely, the others on the bagpipes were scared, and some began to take out their mobile phones to call the police, but what to do before the police arrived?
At this time, a hand pressed on Alokhan's shoulder, and Wren patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll go and see what the situation is." ”
That's right! Isn't there a policeman in the car?
Alokhan's heart was a little calm, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "Okay, okay, then trouble Mr. Wren!" ”
......
Yorick looked at the panicked bagpipers on the bus in front of him, feeling that the recent depression had been swept away, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Beside him, the scrawny, rather frail looking secretary Zonke with a huge scar on his face trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Commander, is it really good for us to do this?" ”
In front of him, Zanke was a little reluctant.
Yorick glared at him fiercely, "What's wrong! These guys robbed us of our jobs, and if they didn't teach them a lesson, we drank the northwest wind! Also, I said don't call me the captain, you have to call the captain. ”
"But." The emaciated Zanke still looked uneasy: "Before he died, the old captain said that if anyone still wanted to be a pirate, he would break his legs......"
"Go, go, the old man is already dead! If he crawls out of the dirt and gives me a large sum of money, I promise to call him Daddy. Yorick smoothed the parrot's fur on his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Besides, are we pirates now?" ”
He spat on the ground: "We are robbers! Bandits! ”
"It's just a boat."
"Not pirates anyway."
In the face of Yorick's strong words, Zanke made a bitter face: "About money, in fact, I have been contacting a small village nearby, and they ......."
"Fart, that's not enough to even stuff your teeth!"
"Fart! Fart! Fart! ”
The parrot on Yorick's shoulder followed his example and repeated it, making it difficult for Zonk to speak.
Do you quarrel with a parrot?
Seeing that Zanke still looked embarrassed, Yorick patted him on the back and laughed, "Haha, I'm kidding, the old guy has been in prison for decades, and I'm stupid to be a thief." Don't worry, I'm measured, just to scare and scare them. Later, if they are willing to go home and promise not to come again, I will personally remove the stones for them to go back. We have so many ticket people, we have to eat, don't we? ”
Hearing Yorick say this, Zonk knew that he couldn't persuade him, and besides, what he said was the truth.
Their group was indeed a pirate gang, but after the arrest of the previous boss, Yorick's father, the group changed careers and are now all members of the Parrot Troupe.
It's a theater troupe, but it's actually more like a circus, but just look at the name and the large pile of parrots they are carrying now, you can know that their specialty or main project is the domestication of parrots, using talking parrots to perform some simple performances.
Originally, the small life was quite moist, and it was also well-known in the area of the Lugull Kingdom, but it has also encountered difficulties recently, and everyone is a little tired of seeing it, and it seems that there are fewer and fewer jobs to receive, and Yorick is also anxious. Fortunately, there was a large-scale event in the kingdom of Lugull recently, and they still managed to catch the line.
There was a lot of money, and everything was about to be negotiated, but I didn't expect it to be cut off, and the show of the Parrot Troupe was actually topped. There is a very famous opera troupe that I don't know why, but I am full of food and running to their little kingdom to perform.
Yorick heard that this opera troupe called the bagpipes is very powerful, and it is not easy to watch them perform in the past.
If you only rob that one job, forget it, as soon as the parrot troupe inquired, there are many activities in the Lugu area and see the water bagpipes coming, and they want to invite them to perform.
The people who heard about the bagpipes were quite hesitant and reluctant to participate in those small activities, but the organizers invited them again and again.
Now Yorick felt that he was being targeted.
