This doesn't seem to be the legendary Badstone Island.

The island is divided into north and south, and the South Island is an uninhabited desert island, which is a large reef protruding from the sea, surrounded by dense reefs and dangerous shoals.

The north island is more than 20 miles in circumference, the terrain is high in the south and the bottom in the north, and there is a stream on the mountain, which flows into a small river into the sea. The southern part is rocky and densely covered with broad-leaved forests, and the northern part is surrounded by small plains and hills, which seem to have cultivated fields.

There is a bay in the northwest of the North Island, embraced by two mountains, with a simple wooden trestle bridge on the half-muddy and half-sandy tidal flats, and a few fishing boats moored in the harbor, the wharf is dilapidated, and most of the fishing boats are dilapidated, buckled on the beach, and the fishing nets drying on the side are tattered and tilted on the wooden poles, and it seems that they have not been out to sea for a long time.

There is a fishing village deep in Aokou, and you can see that there is a cross street in the village, and most of the streets are lined with low shacks, and the roof is covered with 5 feet of seagrass, and the seagrass protruding from the gable wall is almost hanging down to the ground, like a dwarf wearing a big hat. There seems to be a small wooden building, and you can see the cornices from a distance, and the wine flags and tea banners are hung. There were pedestrians in the streets, but the harbor was empty.

The enthusiastic heroes originally planned to break into the tiger's den in Longtan and kill him seven in and seven out, but in front of them was such a lifeless poor fishing village, which made people unhappy.

The 300 bird boats slowly sailed into the small harbor, and at this time the sail canopy had been lowered, and it was all driven by four oarmen rowing the big boat. Bai Jie cursed and jumped into the water, wading through the sea water and walked up to the trestle, the rope was thrown down on the boat, Bai Jie tied it to the cable stake, the iron-clad bow lightly touched the trestle, the bow iron ring clanged, and the ship stopped steadily on the berth. The whole process of berthing the boat was surprisingly smooth, and there were no onlookers.

A hundred steps away, there are barefoot fishermen carrying burdens full of local shrimp and walking leisurely on the streets, some are cooking on the fire in front of the house, some are old women with their children and haggling with cloth sellers, and a middle-aged couple is pasting window paper. In the distance, there are many pedestrians on the street, and it is difficult to see the face.

The fishing village was so quiet and eerie that no one even looked at these foreign seafarers. The sailors gathered on the deck in full gear, eager to try, but Chongwen said: "I don't know if this is a kraken lair, don't act rashly, I'll take a few people to see the reality first,"

Liu Guan said with a smile: "I'll go, and the officials will take care of the boat." ”

Chongwen nodded and said, "It's okay, Ah Gan's ears are smart and clear-sighted, and Yang Hao is resourceful and decisive, you take the two of them there." If you encounter danger, call the police, and I will immediately bring someone to support you. ”

Liu Guan laughed out loud and said, "It's okay to be expected. ”

Putting down the gangplank, Liu Guan and the three of them were fully clothed and armed, walked along the gangplank across the trestle bridge, and walked towards the fishing village without looking back, and the sailors watched the three people walk into the fishing village and slowly disappear into the depths of the streets and alleys.

The villagers are all overseas people, and the women wear floral cloth shirts and pleated skirts, which are similar to the Dakang skirts. The men were black-faced and fist-haired, most of them dressed in dirty white robes and cloth belts, and walked on their feet with men, women and children. No one accosted these outsiders, and Liu Guan was not in a hurry, the three of them walked slowly along the street, looking at the overseas customs curiously, and were surprised from time to time.

There is a smell of the sea in the village, but it is not as decayed as it seems, and there are cloth shops on both sides of the streets, and there are even carpenters' workshops and washing and dyeing shops. There are many low grass houses with shelves in front of them, selling all kinds of strange goods.

No one knows where they got ivory, nanzhu, fragrant wood, rhino horn, like lang, coral, and hawksbill turtle everywhere. Seashells and wood carvings seem to be local products, and what surprises them is that some Western things like clocks, copper buckles, and stained glass are how they came here, I am afraid it is a story of bloody adventures.

Except for the young fannu, Li Qiqian is most interested in the colorful East China Sea exotic fruits, most of which he has never heard of. However, Liu Guan was a little knowledgeable, and kept explaining to the two inland men, the green scales were pineapples, the yellow-skinned and hard-core were mangoes, and the black dates were betel nuts.

Li Qiqian pointed to a pile of fig-shaped fruits and asked, "Captain, what is this, and how to eat it?"

Liu Guan touched his nose and said, "Niang, who knows what kind of bullshit this fruit is, it's called black fruit." ”

Li Qiqian said with a smile: "It's obviously a purple skin, it should be a purple fruit." ”

Liu Guan said angrily: "I'm the captain of the ship, I said that his name is Heiguo, naturally it is Heiguo, is the skin and flesh itchy?"

The three of them talked and laughed, and if they had a favorite fruit, they picked it up from the table and ate it, threw down a few coppers and left, and no one bargained with them.

Liu Guan's eyes were not idle, and he had already seen the surrounding terrain clearly. The fishing village stretches to the south and down the hill, with rice paddies to the north and a port to the west. The alleys in the village are deep and muddy, with no end in sight of the twists and turns, and they are quiet.

The tallest building in the fishing village is the temple in the center of the cross street, there is no courtyard, the temple door is open on the street, but the doors and windows are covered with wooden boards, silent and unoccupied, revealing an eerie atmosphere. Liu Guan pointed to this temple and said, "Will the catfish be imprisoned here?" ”

Li Qiqian said: "I smell the woman's fat powder, it seems to be a prostitute. Liu Guan's eyes lit up and said, "This is to be investigated." ”

Lin Yanghao stretched out his hand to stop Liu Guan and said, "No, this temple is full of evil gates, and it's not good to be trapped in it." ”

Liu Guan laughed: "That's right, then let's talk to them about the open fire, and after a long time, the bird fades out of their mouths, how about bothering them with a glass of water and wine?" He raised his hand and pointed that the southwest corner of the cross street was the largest two-story restaurant in the village.

The three of them strode into the restaurant, the building was quite spacious, and a few tables of drinkers were sparsely pulled, whispering that they didn't know what bird language was. They strode up to the second floor and sat down at a window dining table.

Xiao Er came up, and Liu Guan shouted in a rough voice: "Let's play three times first, and then come... Well, it's the kind of rice on that table. He pointed to the opposite side, where several guests were munching on rice on wooden plates. This is a kind of seafood mixed with rice, shrimp, crab meat, squid and rice mixed together, and a few slices of pineapple.

Xiao Er nodded, muttered a few words, and retreated. After a while, Xiao Er held three large wooden cups one foot high and placed them in front of the three of them. Li Qiqian took a big sip, this wine was sweet and fragrant, he licked the residual saliva between his lips and teeth, and said: "It's not Dakang wine, it seems to be a kind of fruit wine." ”

Liu Guan said with a smile: "This is sugarcane wine, which is the most common in the East China Sea." Lin Yanghao didn't drink, his sharp eyes swept around. Liu Guan and Li Qiqian didn't care about everything, swallowed the cow and drank, and were full of praise for this cane wine.

There are three wooden plates at the small two ends, which are exactly that kind of paella. Liu Guan praised, suddenly lowered his head, and stared at a piece of squid meat with a puzzled look. After a while, he pointed to the plate for Xiao Er to see, but Xiao Er was inexplicable and lowered his head to watch. At the moment when he lowered his head, a strong force surged from the back of his head, and his head slammed down, and it turned out that Liu Guan pressed Xiao Er's head into the wooden plate.

The hand held Xiao Er down like iron tongs, and Xiao Er couldn't break free from it, his mouth and nostrils were stuffed with rice, and he couldn't scream. The fat shopkeeper scolded in his mouth, rushed up to theorize, Liu Guan flipped his other hand, and a fire gun was aimed at the fat shopkeeper's chest, and the fat shopkeeper was stunned and didn't dare to move.

Several guests upstairs stood up nervously, Lin Yanghao kicked over the wooden chair, pulled out the Yanling knife, Li Qiqian chopped it on the dining table, and shouted: "Who dares to step forward to lead death!" Although he didn't understand his language, the three villains were vicious, and which one dared to move.

Liu Guan smiled: "Let me see what is strange about you." He retracted the short gun in his right hand, and used the gun tube to open the ear of Xiao Er on the case, and there was a fish gill. Liu Guan smiled: "Are you playing tricks in front of your second grandfather, saying, where are our people?!"

It was only a moment before the short gun left the fat shopkeeper, only to see a low roar from the fat shopkeeper, and the whole person slowly changed, his head and face were distorted, his white robe was torn, and dense brown short hair grew all over his body, and he turned into a brown bear more than one person tall.

The brown bear was about to pounce, Liu Guan pointed back, and did not hesitate to pull the trigger at the brown bear's open mouth, the short gun roared, and the iron shot straight into the entrance at a distance of 3 feet, penetrating the back of the head, and opening the whole head to flowers. The brown bear let out an earth-shattering wail and struggled backwards.

At the moment when the brown bear fell to the ground, Liu Guan felt that his left hand was empty, and he turned his head to see that Qi Le was happy, and it turned out that the little two suddenly turned into a white rabbit and escaped from grasp, and was jumping downstairs to escape.

On the other side, the situation also changed greatly, and several diners shook their bodies and became smaller and smaller, and they pounced on the floor and turned into gray wolves, grinning at Li and Lin, with fierce eyes in their eyes. Lin Yanghao said with a smile: "Qi Qian, these demons are left to me, you go and seal the stairs, don't let other demons rush up." ”

Li Qiqian agreed and walked quickly to the exit of the wooden ladder, leaning on the railing and looking down, the birds and beasts downstairs were singing and roaring. He pushed the food table, smashed the railing of the staircase and fell downstairs, kicked a few more wooden chairs down, and the wooden walkway was blocked by the wood. He was afraid that it would not be safe, so he pushed a few more wooden cases down, and then he clapped his hands with satisfaction and turned to watch the fight upstairs.

Several gray wolves jumped around Lin Yanghao and pounced. Lin Yanghao didn't wear a hood, but he was wearing armor, which was a finger-thick raw cowhide, embedded with thick iron nails, and it was difficult for the sword to break, not to mention the wolf's toenails and fangs. A good Lin Jia long, with a short knife in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand, the long knife is powerful and heavy, and the wolves that cut it are either ** bursting, or their stomachs and intestines are broken. A gray wolf pounced in front of him, and the short knife in his left hand slashed hard, and several wolf claws were cut off.

A gray wolf finally went around the back and jumped on Lin Yanghao's back, Lin Yanghao bowed and threw it violently, and the wolf grabbed it with a roar. Liu Guan tore the wolf off Lin Yanghao's body, and slammed the screaming wolf on the floor with a fierce force, breaking the wolf's neck immediately, and seeing that there was no air intake.

In a moment, the second floor had already fallen to the ground, and the heavy bloody atmosphere made people want to vomit.

Only the last wolf was left cowering in a corner, its mouth open and its tongue sticking out, its neck hair blowing up, and its whole body trembling. Li Qiqian strode over and kicked the wolf out, Li Qiqian's feet were infantry warrior combat boots, and the toe of his shoes was inlaid with iron, and this kick went to the wolf's half life. Liu Guan shot the wolf in the head with his handcuffs, shattering the unlucky man's head.

At this point, the kraken upstairs is dead, and the downstairs is still making a loud noise, it is the kraken cleaning the aisle, wanting to rush up and fight. Upstairs, the smog was filled, the smell of sulfur was permeating, the tables and chairs were overturned, and it was a mess.

Lin Yanghao hacked to death the seriously injured krakens one by one, while Li Qiqian slashed open a window with a knife and leaned out to look out. I saw a large group of krakens gathered on the street, all of them transformed into wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, roaring loudly in the direction of Aokou in the west, but they didn't dare to rush up to pounce and bite.

On the bird boat a few hundred paces away, a group of Dakang sailors were rushing towards the fishing village, and the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. Li Qiqian brandished the Yanling knife, laughed and shouted: "Kill the demon thief, kill the demon thief!"

Liu Guan moved a wooden chair and sat on the side of the dining table, and complained to Lin Yanghao: "Yanghao, you are really your own brother, what are you polite, you are reluctant to drink a cup of water and wine, if you have to keep it for your brother, then your brother is not welcome." He picked up the foot-high wooden cup and drank it in the bloody killing fields.
