Chapter 12: The Tavern: Su Sheng (II)

At the bar of the Snake Bay Tavern, when Old Cherki suddenly said this sentence in a somewhat deep tone, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle with Xue Hua's confidence and courage at this time.

"What... What do you mean? You say you saw someone who should have died a long time ago? You're probably mistaken, right? ”

"Wrong? Hey! That guy happened to be in front of me, not only did I see him, he saw me, I saw it clearly, it was Dane, and there could be no mistake! ”

Cherki snorted, raised his head and poured a sip of wine, and said with a bit of smoke in his words.

"I remember when we were on a hunting boat together, we once caught a needle-backed eel, a big guy with venom on its back.

Harpooner - that idiot! He plunged his harpoon into the eye socket of the beast, and when he saw it floating motionless to the surface, he assumed that it was dead, and reported it to the captain, and asked everyone to help get the big creature into the boat, lest it be eaten up by the scavenging fish that smelled of blood.

Dane naturally came, and he was the first one in high spirits.

But who would have thought? The big guy wasn't dead, he just fainted.

Just as Dane and the others were dragging the bastard on a steel net, the shit suddenly woke up and went berserk.

It spewed out all the stingers on its back at the crew at once, and it shot down a large area, and the crowd was in chaos, and I saw Dane lying on the ground with his face covered, struggling in pain, and the crazy ghost thing was jumping around it, and the body of that thing was thicker than a human being, and if it hit Dane at once, this kid's life would be accounted for.

I didn't know where I got the courage at the time, so I rushed up and dragged him back, so he escaped this catastrophe.

Since then, Dane has been left with a huge scar that spans his entire face, and that is the memento that the bastard eel left him.

That day at the fish market, I clearly saw Dane's face and the 'souvenir' on his face! ”

Old Cherki was babbling about his past experiences, and his face was gloomy and he kept pouring wine.

"Well, you said you saw him and that's him, but didn't you survive that shipwreck? Maybe this old fellow of yours is lucky, and he didn't die? ”

Xue Hua still didn't believe it, even in the shelter world, such a thing as the resurrection of the dead belonged to the level of legends, and even if it really happened, it was unlikely to appear in an ordinary sea hunter.

Hearing Xue Hua's questioning, Cherki shook his head.

"It's impossible, the ship sank directly into the trench at that time, and the speed of sinking was very fast, and the people in the cabin couldn't have a chance to escape, and even if Dane was really favored by the Fog Girl and escaped by luck, the face I saw that day was really weird."

Speaking of this, the old man turned his head to look at Xue Hua.

"That shipwreck happened more than 20 years ago, and after such a long time, I have changed from a man in the prime of life to a bad old man!

But the Dane I saw at the fish market that day was the last time I saw him, you know?

Not old at all, as if these twenty years have not existed in him at all... This guy is not a professional or a mercenary, otherwise he would not have been able to run to the sea hunting ship to eat with his head closed! ”

When Cherki's words were spoken, the atmosphere between the two fell silent, and after about ten minutes, the old man suddenly smiled and continued to speak.

"When I saw him at the fish market, I thought it was because I had a problem with my eyes, or that I hadn't slept well last night and was hallucinating.

But when I rubbed my eyes and continued to look over, he was still there, next to the mouth of a dark alley, staring at me in a daze against the wall of the house beside the road.

So I decided to chase after him and take a look, if he was wrong, it would be nothing to say, but if it was really Dane's kid, I would like to grab him and ask him about the maintenance secret! Hahacoughcoughcough......"

Cherki laughed in a strange tone, then choked on the liquor in his throat and coughed violently.

"I walked past the vendors at the fish market and came out of the crowd to ask the guy for a good look, but when I squeezed through the last group of fishy-smelling fishmongers to the mouth of the alley, I found that there was nothing.

I chased down the alley for a while, but after only a few minutes of walking, I realized that the alley was a dead end, it was dark and dark, and there were high walls of houses built on both sides, and there was no place to hide......"

Cherki's tone was low, and he pushed the glass in front of him a little forward, tapping his fingers lightly on the wooden top of the bar, making one "thump" after another soft "thump".

"I'm pretty sure I saw him, it's definitely not a hallucination!

So I went to the old fellows who had survived the shipwreck with me and told them what had happened to me.

But they didn't believe me, and some even thought I was crazy......

I'm not crazy! Old Cherki won't go crazy!

I'm not old enough to get old, and that guy, I mean Dane, saw me too, and he clearly recognized me, he just didn't want to meet me......"

The old man mumbled and poured the last sip of his wine, then grabbed a piece of dinosaur from his plate and stuffed it into his mouth.

"All in all... That's it, hey... That's all for today, the tavern is almost closed, and I can't leave the city if I don't leave......"

He seemed to be in a bad mood, and he didn't care about Xue Hua on the side, he got up from the chair by himself, put on the coat that was placed aside, and limped towards the tavern door.

"You're a good lad, young man, I can tell you're looking into something... I assure you, old man, what I just said is true... Although old Cherki likes to take advantage of small advantages, I have never deceived people with the foggy girl on top.

Okay, that's all for today, and if you have the chance, we'll see you later! ”

The old man waved his hand with his back to Xue Hua, and at the same time opened the door of the tavern, and walked straight out in the cold wind howling at midnight.

Inside the tavern, the original lively scene is slowly dissipating, the tavern is on the verge of closing, and the guests who are familiar with the place have also dispersed in twos and threes.

Xue Hua sat in front of the bar, looking at the last sip of residual wine in the cup in front of him, and a meaningful smile gradually appeared on his face.

"The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, this old gentleman seems to have a talent for attracting such strange things!

Isha, let the Shadow Worms follow, and let's see what the guy who went out with Cherki wants to do. ”
