After the pirate leader finished speaking respectfully, he signaled to his men to leave. Apparently many of the other pirates around him were well-informed, and they had recognized the calm man when he took out what he had in his hand.
After finding out his identity, several of them still had eager expressions on their faces.
"etc"
The calm man saw the pirates were about to leave and called out to them.
"I wonder if you have any other instructions? I'm happy to help you..." The pirate leader was stopped, but his attitude was still very respectful. Perhaps in his opinion, he felt very happy to be able to serve such a person.
The calm man showed a playful look and said, "If you leave, won't we also be buried in this vast ocean? As far as I know...all the crew members on the ship will be killed by you, right?"
The pirate leader was stunned for a moment, not understanding what the unusual man in front of him meant. Seeing the pirate's appearance, the calm man had no choice but to say helplessly, "Do you have your own ship?"
"Yes, sir," the pirate leader replied honestly.
"That's good. I wonder if we can take your ship to the United States?" The calm man stated his purpose.
When the pirate leader heard what he said, a smile immediately appeared on his face, as if he had picked up a piece of gold. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. "Of course, of course, it will be my lifelong honor to sail your ship."
After saying that, he quickly took the lead and led the way, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would not go.
"Everyone, are you planning to swim to the United States by yourself?" The calm man walked a few steps and saw that a group of us were still stunned. He turned around and said to us teasingly.
We quickly followed him, and it was obvious what he meant. We could leave with him. Immediately, the crowd cheered. This time we had a narrow escape, and even the pirates were taken care of. After many twists and turns, we were finally in this vast ocean again.
Survived.
I walked to the calm man's side in a few steps. I looked at him deeply and said, "Actually, you also have a great sense of humor."
He smiled at me and said with a somewhat appreciative tone, "You are very courageous! You are also very wise and courageous! You alone saved our group of people."
When he said this, I felt a little embarrassed. With his status, the people he could praise were definitely not ordinary people, and I just saved them by the way when I was trying to save myself.
After all, strictly speaking, he is a super rich, handsome man, and compared with him, I would be considered a loser from the bottom of society in today's terms.
He stretched out a pair of white hands, shook my hand and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Rick."
After a pause, he added "Rick Rothschild"
I noticed that when he said these last few words, a kind of natural pride flowed on his face. This was a sense of pride and honor for his family, a kind of faith-like feeling.
something.
Many domestic families cannot exist for a long time or become world-famous. In fact, it is because they lack a kind of faith! There is no concept of family, no sense of self-honor and belonging, so the family cannot be passed down for a long time, and most of them are only one or two generations.
It began to decline.
It is different in foreign countries. Most ancient families can be passed down and continued forever. One of the family mottos of the Rothschild family is: As long as you are united, you are invincible. The day you break up will be
The beginning of losing prosperity. This sentence can be said to be like a warning. It has been passed down with their family, and they have always abided by it.
The next part of our trip was more interesting. All of us got on the pirate ship. As for the other people, after Rick told the pirate leader, the pirate leader asked someone to give us permission when we left on the ship.
The land sent a signal and asked people to rescue the luxury cruise ship. It must be okay for the time being.
The pirate's ship called the Devil is an ordinary cruise ship, even a little old, but the inside is well maintained. It seems that these pirates take good care of their ship.
The pirate leader introduced himself as James, which made me a little embarrassed. This name seems to be associated with some celebrities or athletes. It felt a bit strange when this pirate told us his name.
After boarding the pirate ship, Rick, a super rich and handsome man, of course enjoyed the same treatment as a VIP. The rest of us were not left out in the cold either. We were all assigned places. Not to mention how comfortable it was, but at least it was normal.
We didn't think about how good the treatment would be. Don't forget, these people were pirates who were killing people just now!
We were able to find a place to stay because of Rick's words. The pirate was a little hesitant at first when he saw a group of us following him, but Rick simply said: They are my friends.
!The pirate leader said no more and treated us as guests.
This pirate leader named James enthusiastically took us to visit his ship. Of course, the protagonist must be Rick, and we were just following along as if we were going through a cutscene.
"Come, sir, please come inside. This is the captain's cabin." James introduced Rick to the situation on the ship and invited him to visit the captain's cabin.
"Huh? What is this?" Rick picked up a book placed in the captain's cabin with one hand and opened it casually. I took a look and couldn't understand most of the English, but I still saw a lot of pictures on it.
Something like that, probably something from the structural diagram of the ship.
When asked by Rick, the pirate leader James seemed a little shy and hesitantly said, "Well... this is a textbook on ship structure. In fact... I used to study at the University of Shipbuilding Industry..."
"Um?"
We on one side were very shocked. This pirate leader used to be a college student? This is too fucking outrageous. He actually became a pirate? Could it be that gangsters should be educated to be able to live better!
After we were all stunned on the spot for a long time, Rick changed the topic to avoid this embarrassing question. The episode quickly passed, and we all settled down for the time being.
The next days were filled with waiting. Finally, after looking through the autumn water on the sea journey, the outline of a continent appeared in our sight. As the ship approached, a modern city appeared on the coast, and further away, a huge statue
The statue stands in the city.
The Statue of Liberty! This thing that is almost a symbol of the United States finally appeared in front of me at this moment. After many twists and turns, I finally reached the destination. Looking at this majestic statue, I felt relieved.
"Sir, we can't take you to the shore. This... is not very convenient. There will be ships passing by here. You can transfer to the dock..." James said goodbye to Rick with some embarrassment.
Rick nodded to express his understanding. Their group of pirates must be wanted criminals everywhere. If such a group of people drove past directly, they would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
"Although it was you who caused the incident, I still want to thank you for sending us here." Rick thanked him, which made the pirate leader say he couldn't take it seriously.
He was right. It didn't take long for us to see a ship passing by. With some excuses and a generous reward, we boarded the passenger ship and headed towards the land!
After arriving at the pier, Rick said goodbye to us and left first, but before leaving, he said to me in a meaningful way, "I think we will meet again. You are a nice and interesting person!"
After saying that, he left. The other people also said goodbye to each other and left. Some even left silently without saying thank you. But I didn't care. I didn't mean to save them. It was just in passing.
On the other hand, the middle-aged fat man who was engaged in tourism patted my shoulder with a not too big fat belly to express his gratitude, "Xiao, you saved our lives. If you want to travel in the United States, I can entertain you well."
, if you need help, just ask.”
"Haha, just don't forget about me then," I said jokingly.
"Don't worry, my friend, I'm famous for repaying kindness. Is that what you said?" The fat man said this idiom to me in half-baked Chinese, which made me burst into laughter.
