Jiao Ba swayed and walked to sit next to me. He put his arm around my shoulders and said, "Brother Yi, brother Yi, we are really brothers in need." Just as I was about to reply, he suddenly whispered again,
"Did you find anything?"
I glanced at him. He still had a casual smile, but he was facing forward and not looking at me. This grandson deliberately asked me in a hidden way. It seemed that he had some inside information. I almost closed my mouth and answered softly.
He said, "I didn't find anything. What did you find?"
"Same, I didn't find anything." I turned my head and glared at him, ***, what you said for a long time was all nonsense.
At this time, Jiao Ba deliberately said loudly, "What a damn unlucky person. We went to sea and encountered so many fatal things. If we weren't lucky, we would have been killed by that female corpse long ago."
Mr. Mai smiled at the stern of the boat and said, "Okay, at least we are safe for the time being. Just wait until we find the fishing boat."
When Jiao Bayi said this, I remembered something, and I asked him doubtfully, "Lao Ba, I have never understood why the female corpse suddenly rotted, and why did it look like the legendary vampire? She also sucked blood."
Jiao Ba whispered in my ear, "I have also thought about this. There should be two possibilities for why she rotted. One is that the man in black's spell played a role and caused damage to her, which led to
Her body decomposed rapidly, and the other was that she consumed too much energy."
I was a little confused, "I understand the first one, but can you be more specific about the second one? I don't quite understand."
Jiao Ba said again, "That's right. To be specific, you know about the bloodthirsty worm, right? Where did that thing come from?"
I suddenly realized and said, "You mean she released the bloodthirsty worms? The more she releases, the more energy she consumes. Is that the truth?"
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "Yes, that's the truth. Let's not talk about removing the man in black's talisman, just talk about her herself. It is indeed like this. I remember my old man said before that once the demon insect corpse rots, it will definitely be destroyed.
Someone will die. She is different from the legendary vampire. She not only sucks blood, but mainly sucks human essence and soul to repair herself. But this has almost never happened before, because few people can
We are the ones who take the initiative to provoke this thing. We are not afraid of death and risk our lives. We will know how powerful we are this time."
I glared at him and said, "Stop talking so damn sarcastically, you weren't the one who tried every means to get me on the boat in the first place."
Jiao Ba said with a drooped face, "Yes, yes, I have come back again and again."
"What are you two secretly whispering about?" Shunzi suddenly interrupted next to me. He had been in a daze, and he was lucky to be alive at the moment.
I looked at him and said casually, "Nothing. I'm discussing with Laoba how we can enjoy ourselves after making a lot of money back home."
Shunzi said feebly, "We are still making a lot of money. It would be great if we can go back alive. If we go back this time, I will never go to sea again."
It seems that this trip to sea has brought a lot of blows to Shunzi's heart. The fear in this big boy's heart has not been eliminated! I comforted him and said, "Don't worry Shunzi, with brother here, everything will be fine."
Shunzi nodded, closed his eyes and continued to rest. I also planned to take a rest. At this time, Jiao Ba suddenly asked me, "By the way, brother Yi, how is the bearded man doing?"
"He's dead, ***. It doesn't matter if he's dead. He just left his things behind. Now that the ship has sunk again, the things in the female corpse's mouth have disappeared and can never be found again." I knew very well in my heart.
, I will never go looking for that female corpse to reminisce about the past. I am lucky enough to be alive this time because my ancestors have blessed me.
Jiao Badie smiled and said in the smallest voice in my ear, "I have what the bearded man is holding."
As soon as I heard this, I immediately became energetic and almost cried out excitedly. This was the news I wanted to hear the most. When I was about to ask Jiao Ba how he got it, he immediately interrupted me and said, "
Let’s talk about this later when we get back, it’s not a good time to discuss it now, you just need to know.”
I nodded calmly. I knew Jiao Ba's intention very well. Mai Lao and Shunzi were both here now. When I didn't find out who the man in black was, I still needed to take some precautions, but I always felt that there was someone behind this.
, not only is the man in black staring at us, there should be others.
This is just my personal thought. These sudden events recently have made my mind a little confused. Jiao Ba has closed his eyes to rest, and I have also begun to close my eyes to rest.
I don’t know how much time passed, and amidst the violent shaking, I slowly opened my eyes. The sky was still dark, and the sea breeze was still blowing. I took a look, and saw Jiao Ba and Shunzi sleeping.
It was very heavy, and some snoring could be heard slightly.
Mr. Mai was still rowing at the stern of the boat. In this endless sea, our small boat was really too small. Any big wave could rock us this way and that.
I looked at the dark night sky and asked, "Mr. Mai, how long have I been sleeping?" I don't know how long I have been sleeping, but the time must not be too short.
"It didn't take long, only about an hour. Are you tired? Do you want to take a rest?" Mr. Mai said softly.
It was only more than an hour, but it felt like a long time. I shook my head, got up and walked to the stern of the boat, "Mr. Mai, you are tired too, why don't you let me do it instead?"
Mai Lao rowed the boat and said with a smile, "It's okay, my old bones are quite durable."
I also laughed and said, "Mr. Mai, you are not old at all. Your physique is much better than that of us young people."
Mai Lao stopped his hand and said, "No, I'm getting older. When I was young, I drifted alone on the sea for two days and two nights without dying. If it were now, it wouldn't take me more than two hours.
You have to feed the fish.”
After hearing what he said, I was surprised. What kind of person does it take to survive alone in the sea for two days and two nights? With this kind of courage, ordinary people cannot do it.
I asked him tentatively, "Oh? How did you end up adrift on the sea back then?" As he spoke, I took the oar from his hand and started rowing slowly.
Mai Lao seemed to be reminiscing. After waiting for a moment, he said, "It was because during a sea expedition, our ship hit a rock, which eventually caused the ship to sink. There were more than a dozen people on the ship, but I was the only one who escaped by chance. I was there."
I drifted in the sea for two whole days before the rescue team arrived. Hey, forget it, don’t talk about me, tell me about you, Zhongyi? Do you have any special experiences? "
I didn't know whether to believe what this old guy said or not, but I could see that he had brought the topic to me, which I was disgusted with, but I couldn't show it yet.
I said casually, "I don't have much experience. I just went fishing for a few years and worked as a sailor for two years. It was very dull, but not as colorful as you."
After listening to what I said, Mr. Mai laughed heartily, "Are you very humble? You are from the Marine Corps. Judging from your skill and courage, you are not that simple. Since you don't want to say it, I won't force it.
this is yours**."
I smiled awkwardly. This old man is not easy to fool. I always feel that his experience is not just these. This old man is much more complicated than I thought. What he said to me tonight may be just the minimum.
Partly, or completely, he made it up.
In short, I can't figure out how capable he is, and I know nothing about everything he has ever done. I also realize a key issue. Except for Jiao Ba and Shunzi, I know a little about the people on the fishing boat.
Except for this, I was completely blank about others, and even Jenny’s words made me a little doubtful.
I suddenly asked him again, "Mr. Mai, what's the secret behind the navigation chart in Jenny's hand? It could make that bearded man so interested that he might even risk his life." I wanted to see what this hometown would do.
How can you answer me? Can you get any clues?
Mr. Mai said seriously, "To be honest and loyal, I can't tell what secrets are hidden in the navigation chart in Jenny's hand, but judging from the current situation, it's not just about finding the sunken ship."
This is what I want. It seems that this old guy knows it very well. I asked sideways, "Well, I think so. Mr. Mai, what secrets are hidden in the female corpse?"
"I don't know about this. It's useless for you to ask me." He rejected it in one sentence. That's right. This old guy had avoided the female corpse from the beginning. He had reason to say so.
I looked at him and smiled and nodded. When Mr. Mai saw that I was silent, he gestured and said, "Just keep rowing south. I'm going to take a rest. Call me when you're tired." After he finished speaking, he walked to the bow of the boat.
