At this point, Renn could only take off the hat he got from Alleg and show his true identity.
Arohan realized that he had made a big mistake. Although the identity of this mysterious passenger who had been temporarily added to the ride was special, the money was definitely not available.
Arohan didn't know what to say for a while, so he chatted a few more words and ended the conversation hastily. Others also had their own thoughts, and the whole car returned to silence.
At this time, it seemed that Ren, the only outsider, was a bit redundant. He felt that getting on the car was like getting on a small broken boat that was about to capsize. The people on the boat were watching each other to see who was embarrassed.
But he can't jump out of the car.
Renn moved his eyes out the window. On the right side of the bus was a large river parallel to the road. Their destination, the Luou Kingdom, was at the end of the river, built on the delta at the mouth of the sea. The bus was located
The road we took basically followed the direction of the river, and the distances were sometimes close and sometimes far away. Occasionally we would pass bridges across the river, and we would also take long detours to connect with nearby towns.
The current road between the river valleys is a section where the two sides are very close. The road was built along the foot of the valley. The road surface is only a few meters above the river. Beyond the guardrail, there is an almost straight steep slope going down to the river.
Not far ahead, a boat moored on the river attracted Ren's attention.
This boat is very close to the shore. If it were not separated by the hull below, it would almost be pressed against the steep slope beside the road. The raised hull is almost at the same height as the road.
The hull of the boat is painted in a fancy way, but there is no specific theme. The colorful lights outline the outline of the boat. Although it is not dark yet, they are all lit up in a very lively manner. The most eye-catching thing is
It's still a huge font sign on the top of the ship, but the content doesn't seem to have any real meaning. It's probably an onomatopoeia like "Howw!"
Ren couldn't help but take a second look. Although he felt that the boat was parked too close to the road and there was a safety hazard, he didn't think much about it. Maybe it was some kind of colorful boat, for example, for advertising, or simply
It's like a small stall set up on the roadside.
In broad daylight, you can never...
"squeak!!!"
The sharp sound of brakes stung everyone's eardrums, and people in the car fell forward one after another, complaining one after another.
After knowing Ren's identity, Arohan already complained about the driver taking a stranger into the car without authorization. This anger was unreasonable and could not be directed at Ren. At this time, he suddenly braked, and he suddenly became furious and turned in the direction of the driver.
He yelled: "What the hell are you doing! Is there such a thing as braking?!"
The driver seemed to be in shock, wiping sweat with one hand and stroking his chest with the other, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't want to either, who knew a group of people suddenly jumped out in the middle of the road."
After hearing this, Ren stood up and looked through the front windshield of the car. He saw a dozen people dressed in weird clothes, whose style was exactly the same as the colorful boats next to them, standing in the middle of the road, with a few big rocks placed in front of them.
Blocked their way.
They should be the people on that ship.
They hold weapons such as scimitars and harpoons in their hands. What people have to pay attention to are the dozens of colorful parrots on their arms, shoulders, or heads.
Renn looked strange: Is this a pirate?
Arohan was also thinking of people like robbers, and he quickly shouted to the driver: "Reverse the car! Reverse the car quickly! Why are you standing there, why don't you run away quickly?"
"No...that's not possible." The driver looked at the group of menacing people in front of him, glanced at the rearview mirror and said helplessly: "The back is also blocked."
Arohan looked behind him, and sure enough he saw several men in the same clothes pushing a few stones from the nearby mountain to the middle of the road. Now there was no way back.
"How to do this?"
Arohan was so anxious that his head was covered with sweat, and the other people in the Water Bagpipe group looked fearful. Some people started to take out their mobile phones to call the police, but what should they do before the police arrived?
At this time, a hand was placed on Arohan's shoulder, and Renn patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll go see what's going on."
That's right! Isn't there a policeman in the car?
Arohan calmed down and seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "Okay, okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Lane!"
...
Yorick looked at the panicked members of the Water Bagpipe on the bus in front of him, feeling that the recent depression had been swept away, and he couldn't help laughing.
Next to him, Secretary Zanke, who was skinny and had a huge scar on his face that looked quite frail, was shaking and said in a trembling voice: "Captain, are we really okay with this?"
Facing the situation, Zanke felt a little discouraged.
Yorick glared at him fiercely: "What's wrong! These guys have robbed our jobs. If we don't teach them a lesson, we will drink from the northwest! Also, you told me not to call me captain, but to call me
captain."
"But." The thin Zanke still looked uneasy: "Before his death, the old captain said that if anyone still wants to be a pirate, he will break his legs..."
"Go, go, the old man has died a long time ago! If he crawls out of the soil and gives me a lot of money, I promise to call him daddy." Yorick smoothed the parrot's feathers on his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Besides,
Now, are we pirates now?"
He spat on the ground: "We are bandits! Bandits!"
"I just came by boat."
"It's not a pirate anyway."
Facing Yorick's strong words, Zanke grimaced: "As for the money, I'm actually contacting the nearby small villages recently. They..."
"Fart, that's not even enough to fit between your teeth!"
"Fart! Fart! Fart!"
The parrot on Yorick's shoulder also imitated his behavior and repeated it, leaving Zank speechless.
Are you arguing with a parrot?
Seeing that Zanke still looked embarrassed, Yorick patted his back hard and laughed: "Haha, I'm kidding, the old guy has been in prison for decades, and I am stupid enough to become a thief."
Don't worry, I'm sensible, just to scare them. If they are willing to go back home later and promise not to come to Lu'ou again, I will personally remove the stones for them. We have so many people in our group, we have to eat.
no?"
Hearing what Yorick said, Zanke knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore, and what he said was also true.
The predecessor of their group was indeed a pirate gang, but after the previous boss, Yorick's father, was arrested, the group changed careers and are now all members of the Parrot Troupe.
It's said to be a theater troupe, but it's actually more like a circus group. But looking at the name and the large number of parrots they are carrying, you can tell that their specialty or main project is parrot domestication performances, using talking animals.
Parrots perform some simple performances.
Originally, my life was relatively smooth, and I was well-known in the Luou Kingdom. However, I have encountered difficulties recently. Everyone is a little tired of it. Seeing that there are fewer and fewer jobs, Yorick is also anxious. Fortunately,
Recently there was a large-scale event in Luou Kingdom, and they managed to get online.
There was a lot of money, and everything was almost settled, but unexpectedly, someone intercepted the parrot troupe's show. There was a very famous opera troupe who, for some reason, ran away from them after eating too much.
This little kingdom has come to perform.
Yorick heard that this opera troupe called Water Bagpipes was very powerful, and it was not easy to see them perform in the past.
It would be fine if they just grabbed that one job. When the Parrot Troupe inquired about it, they found that there were many activities in the Luou area where water bagpipes were coming, and they wanted to invite them to perform.
People who heard about the water bagpipe were quite hesitant and unwilling to participate in those small activities, but the organizer kept inviting them instead.
