I followed Shaoyu quietly, planning to see where he was going. He walked to the door of Martin's rest cabin and stopped. Then he knocked on the door gently twice. When the door was just halfway open, he
He quickly dodged in, yes, he dodged in sideways, not walked in.
This aroused my suspicion even more. Martin's rest cabin was used by himself alone. In the middle of the night, after Shaoyu saw off the others, why didn't he go back to his own cabin to rest? But he had to go to Martin's cabin.
Go to the rest cabin, something is obviously wrong.
I quickly quickened my pace and ran out quietly. There was no one on the deck. I think everyone except the helmsman had taken a rest. I walked around to the side of the cabin, intending to eavesdrop from the window of the rest cabin.
I counted along the windows and quickly found the location corresponding to Martin's cabin. I ducked and crept over. The windows of Martin's cabin had already been hung with curtains, and there were lights inside. If I stood directly
From outside the window, they can be seen at a glance.
I had no choice but to lie down and listen. The voices inside were very low, and it sounded like they were secretly discussing something. But fortunately, my ears were good, so I could basically hear what they said.
"Did you find anything?" was Martin's voice.
"Only a few small porcelain items were found from the person named Shunzi. There was nothing from the others." This was Shaoyu's voice.
"How is that possible? What about Jin Zhongyi?" Martin asked.
"I looked for it too, but found nothing. Except for Jenny and Miss Li Xin, I searched for everyone else," Shaoyu said.
It suddenly dawned on me that we were invited to drink tonight. It was the so-called "Hongmen Banquet". But I remembered that they both drank a lot of wine. How could they be so sober? At this time, I thought that the person pouring the wine for us had been
They are all Shaoyu. It seems that they also made "articles" in the wine.
I was so careless that I didn't guard against them. This Martin was really doing something behind his back. He looked very gentlemanly on the surface, but he actually did these shameless things behind his back. Fortunately, I woke up because I was peeing, otherwise
It's really hard to find them.
"The nautical chart in Jenny's hand may contain some secrets. It doesn't look simple. It stands to reason that they have been at sea for a long time, so there is no way they haven't found anything."
It turns out that this grandson has been playing tricks on us. He wants to find some antiques from us. There are two possibilities. One is to see if we have found any treasures since we went to sea, and the other is to check our background and say that we are cooperating.
, but once there is a conflict of interest, it is easy to fight.
"Captain... wasn't it a bit bad what we did just now?" Shaoyu said softly.
"There's nothing wrong with them. I have to know their details. Be prepared. They say they are cooperating, but when they really fall out, they must not be lenient." came Martin's sinister voice.
"Can't you even trust Miss Jenny?" Shaoyu asked.
"I... can trust Jenny, but I can't trust them. You go back, Shaoyu, and pay more attention to them, especially Jiao Ba. This person is not simple." Martin is a cautious person, and he actually has his eyes on Jiao Ba.
....
When I returned to the rest cabin, I discovered that it turned out that Jiao Ba was not sleeping. He had been sitting on the bed waiting for me. Mai Lao and the others were sleeping very deeply, and they were snoring loudly in the room.
stop.
After seeing me coming back, Jiao Ba gestured to me. I walked up to him and asked softly, "Are you not drunk?"
Jiao Ba shook his head and said in my ear, "I don't drink much at all, so I knew that if Martin invited us to drink for no reason, it would be up to him." This kid is really a thief, he treats everyone like a thief.
Beware.
"Where are those things?" I was asking him about the phoenix pendant, the golden key, and the ball.
"Don't worry, it's all my fault. That guy named Shaoyu thought I was drunk. If I was fooled so easily, then am I still Jiao Ba?" Jiao Ba is very proud, but he also has the capital to be proud. No wonder Martin wants to
Be on guard against him.
I whispered, "You guys are really vigilant. It seems that Martin doesn't trust us. There might be conflicts later."
Jiao Ba sneered and said, "Their little tricks are not enough to threaten us. It's enough that you know this and I know it. Don't let anyone else know, especially Jenny. Be careful of her elbows turning outwards."
I nodded, "Okay, I understand."
Time passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, we had been sailing for six days. The days of wandering on the sea always passed by inadvertently. Jiao Ba and I didn’t tell anyone what happened after we were drunk last time.
It rotted in the stomach.
Even when we saw Shaoyu and Martin, we both pretended as if nothing had happened. In the past six days, Martin's leg injury has basically healed and he can walk freely. This is thanks to Jenny's care, otherwise he would have to spend some time
The crutch of time.
We only eat and sleep every day. We occasionally chat together, and sometimes we talk about our companions who died before. When I think of those young lives that fell like meteors, I feel very uncomfortable.
Especially when I thought of Xiao Huzi's death, I felt sorry for him, and so did everyone else. I sighed when I thought about it, and later I simply stopped talking about these things, so as not to bring up the sad things again.
The relationship between us has become much closer during this period. It is no longer the kind of companionship and simple team relationship, but more like relatives and brothers. We can take care of each other and temporarily trust each other.
Although I don’t know the past of each of them, at least everyone is of the same mind now, which is enough. After all, we have another cooperative team, so we must unite together.
Jenny and I have not spoken a word in the past six days, let alone meeting in the restaurant. Even if she and I walked alone and bumped into each other, we would just pass each other directly, and no one would look at the other.
This is a woman's heart. Once she becomes cold towards you, even if you are a ball of fire, you will not be able to melt her. On the contrary, it will freeze you.
But this is okay. Our relationship is between employer and employee, so there is no need to go deeper. I have already done my best to her. Since she doesn't want to talk to me, why should I bother her anymore?
I can't do the butt thing.
But there are also things that make me very happy in these six days. The relationship between Li Xin and I seems to have become closer. Every time after dinner, she will always go to the stern of the boat and stand for a while. I don’t know if it is to enjoy the sea breeze or just to
What do you miss? In short, she has been at the stern of the boat every day these past few nights.
I also accidentally found her there when I went to the stern of the boat. Just like that, she comes every night and I come every night. The two of us lean on the railing, blowing the sea breeze, and chat about insignificant things. Sometimes
