Chapter 493: The Waves Are Rough, and the Ghost Ship Is Coming!
Zhao Lao Wu concentrated on driving the boat, Tong Yan and the others had nothing to do, so they chatted with Zhao Lao Wu's son Xiao Zhao.
"Xiao Zhao, you're not old, are you, you're going to get married at such a young age?"
When Xiao Zhao heard this, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "The people here have stopped studying for a long time, and they all got married early." Some children of my age can make soy sauce, and it's too late for me. Actually, I wanted to get married last year, but my girlfriend's family didn't agree. I think my family is poor, so I have to buy a house in the county, but the house price is so expensive, I can't even afford the down payment, so I have delayed it until now. If I don't get married this year, I guess my girlfriend will have to break with me. Alas......"
Hearing the helplessness in Xiao Zhao's heart, in fact, this is the current situation of society. This is not only the case for them, but also for many parts of the country.
Although this trip to sea may not seem too risky, who knows what to expect on that mysterious island? Besides, the blood rain on this day made people's hearts a little uneasy. But no matter what, Tong Yan made up his mind that he must keep Zhao Lao Wu and their father and son safe, otherwise, what is the difference between him and the harmful demons.
"By the way, Xiao Zhao, I heard you tell Lao Zhao earlier that there was a scream on the island, what's going on? Can you tell me more about that? ”
Xiao Zhao was also bored, so he simply told Tong Yan about what happened a few days ago.
A few days ago, the two of them went out to sea together, because they found a school of fish, so they followed the fish all the way forward. Strange to say, the fish swam and disappeared. Unexpectedly, the two of them discovered an island that they had never seen before.
Zhao Lao Wu has been fishing for half his life, and he is still very clear about the nearby waters. Where there are islands and where there are no islands, he also knows.
But he didn't have the slightest impression of the island in front of him, wondering if this would be a ghost island?
Ghost Island is a fisherman's statement, which means that an island suddenly appeared in a place where there was no island, just like a ghost, coming and going without a trace, so there is such a term.
When you run into a ghost island, the most important thing to do is to stay away, because in the eyes of fishermen, this is not a good sign.
But just as they were about to sail away, the group of sea fish that had chased them here appeared again, and they were right next to the so-called ghost island.
Turning back now means that the whole day is in vain. Zhao Lao Wu was unwilling, so he and his son drove the boat to continue to approach the fish. Unfortunately, the ship ran aground. It seemed that something had hit the bottom of the boat, knocking the boat out of a hole.
Their fishing boat is relatively old, and it was used by Xiao Zhao's grandfather to catch fish during his lifetime, and this has been passed down for decades.
The ship broke down, so naturally they had to come down to repair it, and just like that, the two of them reluctantly landed on the mysterious ghost island.
And just as the two of them were busy repairing the ship, they heard a ghostly cry before they could think about it. The voice sounded a little ethereal, but it went straight to the heart. Some resemble the sound of a woman crying, while others resemble a female prisoner being tortured.
The two of them listened intently, as if the sound was coming from beneath the island. But worried that they had hit a water ghost, the two stepped up to repair the ship, and as soon as the ship was repaired, they fled and left.
Thinking about it now, it's scary.
After listening to Xiao Zhao's story, Tong Yan can basically conclude two things. First, there must be some secret hidden on that island. Second, the scream came from the woman's mouth.
This is the East China Sea, and the island where the Kirin Pavilion is located is in this sea area. No, the sound will be related to the Qilin Pavilion. Or maybe it's Cher who made the screams.
He didn't know why he was speculating, but that's what he thought. During this period of time, he has been sad about the abduction of Xue'er and Tan Yu, so the first thing he thought of was naturally them.
It is precisely because of this that he can't wait to go to sea overnight to find out.
He chatted with Xiao Zhao a few more words, and Xiao Zhao went to replace Lao Zhao to drive the boat. The mysterious island was still three or four hours away, and it was late at night, and everyone lay down on their beds in the cabin and fell asleep.
But before he could sleep for long, he heard a strange cry of "whoop" outside.
The sound was like the roar of a wild beast, and it woke up all the people who were asleep.
Xiao Zhao, who was driving the boat, was a little flustered now, and he hurriedly said to Lao Zhao, who had already opened his eyes: "Dad, what do you say is the case?" Are we being targeted by some big fish? ”
Strange things often happen on the mysterious sea, Lao Zhao has been fishing for half his life, and he has experienced some things.
"Don't be afraid, son. Maybe the dragon king is going to eat, so I'll throw the fish in the boat into the sea, and the sound will be gone. ”
These fishermen are also really interesting, and everything they encounter has to do with the dragon king. But is there really a dragon king in this sea? This is still unknown, but when Lao Zhao laboriously threw two boxes full of sea fish into the sea in the rain, the strange cry disappeared.
The screams disappeared, and Xiao Zhao, a hairy boy, calmed down, but he didn't dare to continue to drive the boat, so he naturally handed over the burden of driving the boat to Lao Zhao.
In order to prevent any accidents from happening, Tong Yan instructed the white crow to go to the ship's room to assist Lao Zhao. If you see something, come back and let everyone know right away.
In this way, another half an hour passed smoothly, but what I didn't expect was that a new situation appeared again. This time, instead of a strange cry, they found a huge wooden boat speeding towards Tong Yan's fishing boat from a distance.
As soon as the white crow found out, he immediately asked Lao Zhao, "Master Zhao, what kind of boat is that in front?" How is it so big? ”
At this moment, Zhao Lao Wu's face turned pale, and he said with a little trembling: "That...... It's a ghost ship, and there's ghosts on it! ”
Hearing this, the white crow said calmly: "Is there any way to avoid it?" ”
Zhao Lao Wu swallowed a mouthful of spit, and then said: "I'll try it, I hope the Dragon Lord will bless us and let us spend it safely!" ”
Watching Zhao Lao Wu's urgent rudder, the white crow hurriedly turned around and walked to the cabin.
"Young Sect Master, there is a situation when you go. Lao Zhao said that there was a ghost ship sailing towards us. ”
Hearing this, Tong Yan frowned slightly, and then asked, "How far are we from us?" Is there a way to shake it off? ”
The white crow opened his mouth and responded: "Master Zhao is already thinking of a way, according to the speed of that ghost ship, I'm afraid it will be able to get close to us in less than five minutes." ”
Tong Yan sighed lightly, and then said: "Whether or not we can escape the ghost ship, we must protect the Zhao family's father and son." Now push me to the ship's room to see, I want to see what kind of hell ship is coming! ”
