Chapter 230: Don't you think this is delivered to your door?
Returned to the dock of Paradise Harbor.
The oncoming sea breeze blew on my cheeks.
Yuan Haihang has left.
This merchant ship, under the pirate flag, docked at the dock overnight, bringing a carnival of physical strength and remuneration to the boatmen on the dock.
Even the guards patrolling Paradise Island can't stop the fight between these boatman gangs.
But Yuanhang did it.
I have a good question. Last night, the largest gang of boatmen at the dock put aside their hatred towards each other and worked together to empty the cargo carried by the Voyage.
Of course, they also raised their wallets.
But this situation only lasted for one night.
These boatmen, who had been working together just now, became hostile to each other again.
After all, there is only one Yuan Voyage, and it is not available every day. If you want to survive, you still have to rely on grabbing business.
The three colors of ocher/gray white/light black headscarves have become a symbol to distinguish whether the other party belongs to the same gang.
But in my eyes, there is no difference between these busy guys.
Looking around, it looks like a colony of ants swarming around the dock, looking for work, or busy carrying goods.
Less than a mile away from his feet was the endless turbulent sea filled with white foam.
Ding Xiaoyi felt a little worried for a moment.
I wanted to rush over early and take the Yuan Voyage to my destination.
But now that the Yuanhang is no longer there, it is not easy to get to the destination.
After all, it is a place where foreigners hang out. Ordinary fishing boats dare not go there, and pirate ships will not pull them there.
Although he can use stealth to directly steal a pirate ship.
But the problem is, I can't sail, and I don't know how to sail a boat.
On the contrary, I know the principles of shipbuilding very well.
"Let's look for it. If it doesn't work, just use money to solve it."
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the fishing village in the lower class area not far away. He believed that there must be brave men under the heavy reward.
So we walked along the port towards the fishing village.
Before you even get close, you can smell the unique intoxicating aroma of fruit wine.
It is a fragrance mixed with sweetness and rich wine aroma.
It’s also the cheapest drink.
The raw material for brewing is strong alcohol brewed with sugar cane juice for three years, which is suitable for sailors who are drifting on the ship all year round.
This drink called rum is undoubtedly a cheap and affordable treasure.
If it can be paired with rum behind a mint leaf, it will definitely be a unique enjoyment.
Although this is the lower level of Paradise Island, it is also known as the stinking ditch of Paradise Island.
Although the house looks messy, the floor is still paved with smooth stone slabs.
For a seaport that is often hit by wind and rain, this is a huge but costly project that must be undertaken.
As soon as he walked into the fishing village, Ding Xiaoyi immediately felt the prying eyes surrounding him.
The appearance of a stranger will often attract the attention of people here.
But it's more of a warning.
Occasionally, there were some unkind glances, but when these glances saw Krutu's cold face, they quickly avoided him.
At this time, his eyes suddenly stopped at a small grocery store nearby.
This grocery store has an old and greasy storefront and has an odd name: "Fences, Women and Dogs."
This is not important, the important thing is that the owner of the grocery store looks like an old man from Xia.
Wearing a white turban, he was lying lazily on the same old bamboo chair next to him, smoking a pipe.
In this new world, the proportion of Xia people is not high.
After all, Xia people are born with weak limbs, so unless they are spiritual masters or fallen spiritual masters, they do not have any advantage here.
Therefore, when I see Xia people of the same clan, I feel a sense of closeness in my heart.
He noticed Ding Xiaoyi walking towards him.
The old man sitting in front of the door smoking suddenly became wary.
After all, Ding Xiaoyi thinks that he is of the same race, but he thinks that Ding Xiaoyi is not.
Especially the face that is not friendly at all, always looking like I am glaring at everyone who owes me money.
“Is there anything you need??”
The old man asked carefully.
"I need to find a ship that can go to sea, but the place I go to is a bit dangerous, but I can pay a good reward."
When I heard about the reward, and it was a generous reward.
The old man's eyes lit up and he raised his palms: "At least this number!"
"Can!"
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the old man's palm with only two fingers left, and nodded without hesitation.
Seeing that he agreed so readily, the old man hesitated and added: "I said 20 yuan!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm talking about 200!"
When he heard the number 200, the old man's eyes widened. He clapped his thigh and said, "I'll take this job!"
After saying that, he turned back and shouted twice towards the store, and a boy about ten years old came out. He had tanned skin, lean and strong hands and feet, and eyes with a maturity that was inconsistent with his age.
"For 50 yuan, take him out to sea!"
The boy frowned deeply when he heard this: "But what I just heard was 200!"
"Okay, up to 70 yuan, you little brat, what you eat and drink and what I live in are mine, and I haven't even accounted for this with you!"
After the old man glared at the boy and complained a lot, the boy had no choice but to look at Ding Xiaoyi. Although he was a little afraid of this man, he still had the courage to ask: "Where are you going!"
"That group of islands in the eastern bay."
Ding Xiaoyi remembered that the island did not have a specific name in the information, but only vaguely pointed out the general direction.
The boy was stunned and raised his head: "That's the territory of aliens! It's very dangerous."
The word "foreigner" obviously made everyone around him feel uncomfortable.
Most of them are full of fear of foreigners.
Even consider it a devil.
Getting close to their territory is definitely asking for death.
Even the old man couldn't help but hesitate and shook his head: "Forget it, we won't take this job!"
Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi sighed and was not surprised by the result, so he directly asked for 200 yuan.
Seeing their refusal at this time, I felt relieved.
It is indeed dangerous there. If you let a ten-year-old child take you there, if something unexpected happens, you will not feel good about it.
Remembering that there was a bar down there, he planned to try his luck there.
Look for any pirates who are more willing to help others.
"etc!!"
As soon as he walked down the steps, Ding Xiaoyi heard someone calling him from behind.
I saw the boy just now running over quickly: "I can take you there, but... you have to pay more!"
"How many!"
Seeing the serious expression on the boy in front of him, Ding Xiaoyi crossed his arms and waited for his answer.
"2000!"
Unexpectedly, the boy directly added a fraction after the number.
With 2,000 yuan, you can do a lot of things on the current paradise island.
You know, a bottle of rum here only costs 3 yuan.
Two loaves of bread only cost one dollar.
This made him feel a little disgusted. He had no shortage of money, and was even very rich.
2,000 yuan is nothing to me.
But he doesn't like others to think of him as being taken advantage of.
Just when he was about to reject the boy.
What the boy said next shocked him instantly.
"Two thousand yuan is not worth much to you, but it is enough for you to buy my life.
If I die there this time.
At least I want to leave some money to my grandfather.
Enough to let him live the rest of his life with peace of mind.
You no longer need to save money to buy a boat ticket for me."
The boy's words immediately shocked Ding Xiaoyi.
The boy's fiery and determined eyes and sharp words all shocked me.
Death may not be the most feared thing for a boy who is less than ten years old.
But what is amazing is the aura and courage shown by the boy. This is just a ten-year-old child.
When I was ten years old, what was going through my head?
After school, whether to do homework first or play games first is the question you should think about.
Facing the boy's eyes staring at him, Ding Xiaoyi's heart suddenly softened. He was just a normal person and could not achieve that level of ruthlessness.
"Please don't refuse. This season, sea fog often emerges from the sea. Now even if you offer a higher price, no pirate is willing to take the risk!"
Ding Xiaoyi raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard this, curled his lips and said: "I can give you 20,000!"
Faced with such disguised rejection.
On the contrary, the boy became more confident: "Sorry, although it is very tempting, I think if you offer 20,000 yuan.
Then not only will you not be able to go to that place, you may not even be able to leave here alive.
After all, killing a person and taking a person on an adventure both cost 20,000 yuan.
I think those pirates who are murderous will never mind killing people who may have more money on them."
"pretty!"
After the boy finished speaking, Wangcai couldn't help but praise: "The thinking is clear and well-founded. You lost!"
"Ha, I think it's time for Da Tou to come out and eat some whole grains recently!"
Ding Xiaoyi was unconvinced, but he had to admit in his heart that this boy really surprised him.
But even so, he didn't want to take risks with a boy.
In his heart, there are some things that can be done, but there are some bottom lines that must be adhered to.
Let a ten-year-old child follow you on an adventure, and you can't be such a bastard.
"Your eloquence persuaded me. Here is two thousand dollars. You can take it back first! In two hours, we will meet at the dock. Don't try to escape, or I will catch you."
As he spoke, he shook his fist and threatened fiercely.
"Don't worry!"
After taking the money, the boy quickly held it in his arms, turned around and hurried back.
Seeing the boy walking away, Ding Xiaoyi turned around and prepared to leave.
"But Master, I'm afraid it's as he said. It might be really hard to find him this season." Wangcai couldn't help but feel worried.
At this time, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly stopped and looked towards the alley to the side.
When I saw several pirates in the alley, they were surrounding a woman in a corner and holding their hands up and down.
Ding Xiaoyi's eyes gradually narrowed, and he sneered: "Who said that? Look, didn't this just come to your door?"
