Chapter 23: 【Ferry Ticket】
And at this time, a strange scene happened. Originally, the unassisted boat was speeding quickly in the water of this cold water bay, but when the boat reached the middle of the lake.
Lin Tao was shocked to find that the lake water began to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye. And the place where it froze at first happened to be around the boat.
I don't know why this boat came from, when the lake just froze, the boat broke through the ice and continued to move forward, without the slightest intention of being stopped, but the whole hull stopped slightly.
Then, as if immortal, the ice on the surface of the lake was broken and then closed in an instant, and in a form of encirclement, the boat was completely enveloped.
So, break open...... Closed...... Break open ...... Closed......
I don't know how many times later, the help of the boat from nowhere finally seemed to disappear, and the speed of the boat began to slowly decrease, and finally it was wrapped in heavy ice, and it could no longer move a minute.
But Lin Tao looked at it with the naked eye, but he was surprised to find it. The frozen surface of the lake in Coldwater Bay is only about a hundred meters around the boat, while the rest of the lake is still sparkling, although the sun cannot reach the lake.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lin Tao was completely stunned. What was happening in front of him was really against his logic.
"It seems that it is the effect of divine power!" Lin Tao thought to himself, and he couldn't find any other explanation. For that there is a god in this world, Lin Tao has long believed it. Of course, he also knew that God was actually a human being at the beginning, but after doing what people couldn't do, he was passed on by word of mouth, and there was a god. On the other hand, God is a powerful man, so powerful that he can no longer be counted as a human being.
Lin Tao slowly exhaled a breath, and swept his gaze over the boundless territory one after another, only to see that the boundless face was also dazed and frightened. The bark-covered strange man had a solemn face, though it was not easy to tell from this strange face.
At this moment, the strange man with a bark-covered face slowly crouched down, and the next moment, he knelt on the deck of the boat. His eyes stared reverently at the lake of Coldwater Bay, his hands folded, and his mouth was full of words.
"Wow...... Cat’s meow...... Laa...... Gnat...... Gurg...... Tsk!" A low, strange voice came out of his throat.
Lin Tao looked back at him, completely unaware of the meaning of these words that this strange man finally came out, and he couldn't even understand it.
When the sound stopped, the bark-covered strange man slowly bit off his right index finger, and then, with an extremely reverent look, slowly stretched out his right hand from the boat, hanging over the ice of Coldwater Bay.
"Smack!" A sound that was so subtle that it was almost inaudible sounded, and when the blue blood that surprised Lin Tao slowly dripped onto the ice, the already strange ice layer seemed to have received some order, and it actually began to melt slowly.
No, that's not melting, it's supposed to be called an evacuation......
Lin Tao smiled bitterly, and the curiosity in his heart was naturally self-evident. And even more curious, what is the identity of this strange man with a bark-covered face, why can he drive a small boat on the surface of a cold water bay lake that can't even float a piece of silk, and can even go at a very fast speed without any power, and why his blue blood seems to be able to dispel this strange ice after encountering this strange ice.
Too much curiosity shrouded Lin Tao's mind.
He is a curious person, or his character is like this, he must find out what he doesn't know and don't know before he stops, and he is a person who breaks the casserole and asks the end in his bones.
Fang Cai, under the hint of Jiang Wubian, kept the curiosity in his heart and did not ask these questions, but until this moment he could no longer suppress the curiosity in his heart.
"This old gentleman, may I ask what is just going on?" After thinking about it, Lin Tao decided to use the title of old gentleman to call the strange man in front of him. In fact, when this sentence was asked, Lin Tao's mood was also very nervous.
When he heard Lin Tao's words, Jiang Wubian immediately turned his head to look at him, and there were many reproaches in his eyes, as if he was sighing, as if to say, "Didn't you ask you not to speak, why didn't you listen to me, and still speak?"
And because Lin Tao was weak-hearted, he didn't use his own eyes on him.
Unexpectedly, when the old man of the Atta clan heard such a sentence, he was unresponsive and silent for a moment. However, after a moment, he said in an angry tone: "I bought a ticket, but I got two people?"
Lin Tao was stunned, completely unaware of what he meant by this. But the next moment, after he saw Jiang Wubian's red and blue face, he realized that this sentence was for him.
Still inexplicable, Lin Tao didn't know why the other party said that. What is called "buying a ticket, but getting two people". However, Lin Tao is not stupid, and after his brain turned, he understood it. Obviously, this ship is not so easy to get on, there must be something weird, and the weirdness is weird on board. Otherwise, just imagine, since even a piece of silk cloth can't float in the lake water of Cold Water Bay, how can this boat be able to move? Immediately, Lin Tao thought of the patterns around the hull, and it seemed that those patterns were not as useless as they looked.
Imagine that if there was no such ship, it might not have been possible to reach the other side by ferry. In this case, there must be a price to be paid for taking this ship.
As for what the price is, Lin Tao doesn't know. And the sentence "I bought a ticket, but I got two people" made Lin Tao even more puzzled. Could it be that he and Bai Electric walked on the boat so swaggeringly, and the other party didn't notice it? How is this possible?
Jiang Wubian seemed to see the curiosity in Lin Tao's heart, and immediately spoke: "Don't be surprised, the people of the Aita clan can't see, or even hear the subtle sounds, only when you speak, can you know your existence." Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly, as if he was reproaching Lin Tao for not listening to his persuasion to speak out.
Lin Tao was stunned, he didn't expect that there was such a group in the world, who couldn't see people, or even hear subtle sounds. In this way, Lin Tao knew that Jiang Wubian was planning to get through in the dark. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, and I regretted a little in my heart that I shouldn't have listened to the other party's persuasion and spoke.
"Either buy a ticket or get off the boat. The cold voice of the old man of the Atta tribe came into Lin Tao's ears, and it seemed so harsh. The voice was already empty, it seemed to have no emotion, and it was even more disgusting at the moment.
Jiang Wubian coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Sir, it was my idea just now to ask my friend not to speak." Then let me buy the ticket. ”
When the old man of the Aita tribe heard Jiang Wubian say this, he laughed faintly, and this laughter reached the ears of Jiang Wubian and Lin Tao, as if with a hint of mockery. "I'll only ask the people who take the boat here, and no one else will pay for it, don't you know? ”
Jiang Wubian was scolded by the other party, his face changed, he sat to the side, and stopped talking.
Lin Tao realized that he had to speak by himself at this time, and immediately looked at the old man of the Atta clan, frowned and asked, "How to pay?"
A look of excitement flashed in the blue eyes of the strange man with a bark-covered face, and he said, "Five years of life!"
Lin Tao thought that he had misheard, and was stunned, and then asked repeatedly in disbelief: "What?"
"Five years of life!"
Lin Tao looked at each other with idiot eyes, and scolded in a low voice. "If you take a boat, you will want me to live for five years, are you blackmailing? Well, even if I want to give it to you, how can you take it?"
The old man of the Aita tribe was not angry, and said with a mocking smile: "The river boat in the dark land is not so easy to sit on. Without me, you would have to take a long detour through Coldwater Bay, and it would be wishful thinking to get there by water. Speaking of this, he repeated again, "Five years of life!
Lin Tao saw that the other party was so unreasonable, and he was slightly angry, but he couldn't argue with the other party on the boat in front of him, after all, the boat was now sailing on the lake surface of Hanshui Bay, and the water in this bay was very strange. Besides, Lin Taohe didn't think that the other party was a soft persimmon.
Five years of life, this is a very illusory price, but there is no doubt about the preciousness. If you live for one or two hundred years, five years is nothing, but if your longevity is very short, these five years are extremely precious.
But at this moment, people under the eaves have to bow their heads. Without this ship, Lin Tao knew that he would definitely die in Cold Water Bay.
At that moment, I couldn't help but sigh and nodded, "Okay, five years of life!"
Seeing that Lin Tao had agreed to his request, the old man of the Atta clan smiled, turned away, and stopped talking. But this smile was so ugly in Lin Tao's eyes.
Now, Lin Tao's identity has been exposed, and Jiang Wubian and him don't have to have any scruples like before, and they don't dare to speak. At that moment, you said a word, and I spoke, completely treating the strange person around me as if it did not exist, and the strange man's blue eyes always looked into the depths of Cold Water Bay, and his eyes were very complicated.
Lin Tao looked at the corner of the eyes that were looking at the person behind him, and couldn't help but be shocked, could these light blue eyes really not see anything? Then why did they seem to sweep towards him intentionally or unintentionally?
