Start into the abyss

Chapter 76 75. The Skeleton Ship, The Hidden Price (4.1K words)
The rest of the journey was smooth sailing, and the few people were never attacked again.

About ten days later, the group arrived at Jizu Harbor at the southern tip of Xinzhou.

There were quite a lot of boats parked in Jizu Harbor, but the ghost slave's carriage did not enter the harbor, but deviated from the main road and went to a remote and deserted beach.

Bai Shan and the other four people walked down and stood in the wind by the sea.

The wet and cold air blows towards the face, driving the hair and the hem of the clothes and trousers to fly backward.

Miss Song looked at this barren beach where chickens don't shit and birds don't lay eggs, her pretty face was full of disgust.

Bai Miaochan stood on tiptoe, Yan Lanying let out a lazy "ha~~~" and stretched out her waist, even others could hear the comfort in her voice.

She raised her hand to cover the sun, looked at the blue water, her eyes sparkled with excitement: "This is the sea~~"

Standing beside her, Bai Shan was also in a good mood.

The journey is at least halfway through, and the weather is still sunny today.

The sun shines on the boundless sea, showing eyes full of golden scales.

Miss Xiaomei walked a few steps against the wind, her blood-red embroidered shoes landed on a slippery rock by the sea, she took out a six-hole bone xun from the mustard bag, and blew it towards the sea.

Xun is an ancient musical instrument, although its sound is ethereal, but in this sea breeze, it certainly cannot spread far.

But for some reason, the Xun played by Miss Xiaomei was like an unbreakable lotus root, drifting against the sea wind, towards the sea, melodious and containing a kind of deep ethereal that touched the soul.

All three of them could not help listening quietly.

No one thought that this frivolous girl with peach blossom eyebrows and bright red dress could play such music.

After a long time, Miss Xiaomei stopped, took back the bone xun, and sat quietly on the rock, as if waiting for the "responder".

Obviously, this xun sound was just a signal.

The surrounding area became quiet.

The three of them started walking casually on the beach.

Bai Miaochan's sharp eyes suddenly ran to one side, and in the blink of an eye, she stood beside a black stone, pointed to the ground, and said excitedly like a child: "Bai Shan, Bai Shan, come here!"

The boy ran over, but saw a sea turtle foolishly overturned on the sand.

Bai Miaochan's eyes lit up, "You also said that sea turtles hibernate, how could it hibernate here?"

The siblings used to talk about many things in their "bedtime time", and the above was also one of the previous topics.

Bai Shan looked at the turtle, it really didn't look like he was sleeping.
After all, what sleeping turtle turns its shell down?

Bai Shan raised his hand to touch the sea turtle, and found that the body of the sea turtle was abnormally cold. He murmured, "I'm afraid it must have been frozen, washed ashore by the tide, right?"

He glanced at the little prodigal standing on a high place, and saw her sitting quietly, obviously still waiting for the "response boat".

Seeing that there was still time, Bai Shan took out the charcoal stove, lit the fire, heated the pot, and boiled water.

At some point, Miss Song also stood beside her, her beautiful eyes sparkling with curiosity, "Are you going to eat this turtle? It looks disgusting."

Bai Shan ignored her.

Bai Miaochan said: "Ningning, sea turtles are so cute, how can they be eaten?"

"Is this cute?" Miss Song was very surprised, and then said, "Hey, Baishan, if you don't burn it to eat, what are you doing with the fire?"

She got no response.

Not long after, the water boiled, and Baishan took out another wooden barrel, poured it into it, took some cold sea water, neutralized the temperature, and made the temperature moderate, and then lifted the turtle into the wooden barrel.

The turtle stayed in the warm water for a while, but still didn't respond.

Bai Miaochan squatted beside the barrel, poking the turtle's shell with her little finger, a little pitiful and curious.

Suddenly, the gravel on the beach was rolled up, and a strong gust of wind blew in the distant sky.

Flying sand and rocks, sea water with white stripes.

With a flash, Bai Shan stood in front of the elder sister, Mrs. Song and the sea turtle.

However, the gust of wind was only for a while, and it soon returned to the category of normal strong winds.

On the boulder, Miss Xiaomei shouted, "Get ready to board the boat."

Bai Shan and the others looked towards the sea, only to see an ancient building boat approaching fast amidst the wind and snow waves.

Soon, the boat docked.

The sound of footsteps approached, and a burly man with scars in his eyes walked to the side of the boat, looked down, scanned around, and his eyes fell on Song Youning.

The man smiled gentlemanly, then bowed slightly to Song Youning, nodded, and said respectfully: "Miss."

The little rascal shouted: "Old Chen, Miss is still awake."

The burly man raised his head, grinned his sharp white teeth, and said with a smile, "That's Miss, too."

Looking at the fierce man, Song Youning was startled at first, but when she saw that the man was respectful to her for some reason, she became even more flustered. She knew that there was some kind of "Miss" sleeping in her body.

This "Miss" must be the leader of these dirty things, a big evil monster.

I don't know what purpose such an evil big monster stays in her body.

If, if you can go back to the capital and show it to the immortals, then they will definitely find a way to dig out this "Miss" and kill her.

But if you get on the boat, you don't know where you will go.

Thinking of this, she began to shrink back.

After taking two steps back, he started to run wildly.

After a while.
Bai Shan took her by the back collar and came to the side of the boat.

The burly man with a knife scar carried a huge wooden board from top to bottom, gently lowered it, and then grabbed a clean gold-edged red carpet from the void and spread it on the wooden board.

Then he stood respectfully on one side, waiting for the lady to board the boat. The scene showed a sense of ceremony.

Miss Song said pitifully: "Master, husband and wife are kind for a day, you take me away."

Bai Shan said: "You will be fine."

Miss Song shouted: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it! My husband, you have been brainwashed by these evil devils, you are crazy!! I am your wife, you have to believe me!"

Captain Scar was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed loudly and said, "It's really interesting that Miss still has such a side, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha~~"

On the side, the little prodigal suddenly said: "Miss Song, you will be fine."

Miss Song suddenly turned into a shrew, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"

She suddenly sat back with her buttocks, her long legs straightened, her little boots stomping on the ground, and she kept shrinking back.

Bai Shan took her both hands, took a small step forward, held her by the neckline again, tossed it lightly, then clamped it with his left arm, and led her up the boat ladder on the red carpet.

"Baishan! You idiot! Idiot! Idiot! You still don't let me go!" Miss Song kept struggling, kicking her long legs.

Bai Shan said: "You Ning, in fact, if you really want to escape, why don't you choose a time and place that are more likely to succeed? For example, you said that your stomach hurts halfway. Now it's time to get on the boat, and you even yelled What are you doing? Aren't you stupid?"

"I, I. I." Miss Song was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be the truth, so why didn't she think of a way to escape before?

Is it because the obvious crisis was not noticed at the time?

Or is it because it is too easy to doze off in the carriage?

Although she didn't want to understand, she understood that the man was scolding her, so she cursed back, "You are stupid! You are the most stupid!"

While speaking, Bai Shan had already walked through the boat ladder with Miss Song in his arms.

The burly Captain Scar bowed slightly, and said in a deep and respectful voice, "Chen Zhi, I have met Miss. Speaking of which, this name was given by Miss, and Chen Zhi will never forget it."

Miss Song was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became smarter. She coughed secretly, and then said in a cold voice: "Then, Chen Zhi, I want you to escort me off the boat now."

Captain Scar laughed loudly, patted a wine gourd on his waist, and swayed towards the bow.

Miss Song is trembling and cold, +1
Bai Shan glanced at the boat, and found that the style of the boat was really old, and besides Captain Chen Zhi, there was no sailor on the boat, even the ladder was carried by the captain just now.

He's used to the oddity, though.

The little rascal also walked onto the deck, and in front of Mrs. Song, he naturally took Bai Shan's arm and began to "charge".

Miss Song is trembling and cold, +2
Where's Miss Miaomiao?

Bai Shan looked back.

He found that Bai Miaochan was actually moving the warm water wooden barrel soaked with sea turtles.

He originally planned to let the turtle look for luck. When the tide came, the barrel and the turtle would be swept back into the sea.

But I didn't expect Bai Miaochan to bring the turtle with me
However, Bai Miaochan moved very hard, most of them were dragging her. There were beads of sweat on her forehead like small pearl particles, but she was very independent, and she didn't mean to ask for help at all.

Bai Shan shook his arm, signaling the little prodigal to let go.

The little rascal didn't let go, and said Nuo Nuo: "I'll do it."

As the voice fell, the ghost slave not far away rushed over, grabbed the wooden barrel, carried it with another leap, and put the wooden barrel on the deck.

This may be the first time he, as a ghost slave, has made a move to save something.

Bai Miaochan shouted: "Thank you, Brother Guinu."

The little rascal laughed "goose goose goose", she poked her head and shouted: "Miss Bai, the ghost slave has no emotion or reason, and will only follow the master's will, he can't understand your thank you. "

The boat left the coast.

The shore drifts away and becomes a line.

In the end, the lines were gone, leaving only the vast ocean shining freely in the sky.

The ghost slave didn't board the boat, but drove the carriage to nowhere.

Chen Zhi took a sip of the wine gourd from time to time, and the boat seemed to be moving by itself, heading for the distance.

Suddenly, Chen Zhi turned around and walked over, stood in front of several people, then looked at Miss Song, and said solemnly: "Miss, you still don't know anything about the situation here. So... Chen Zhi needs to explain to you again, If you go to the cabin to rest, you must come out before nightfall."

Miss Song was confused: "Why do you always think that I am a young lady? And what happens when it gets dark?"

Chen Zhi didn't answer, but glanced at Miss Xiaomei.

Miss Xiaomei shook slightly.

Chen Zhi didn't say any more, but said: "Miss, just remember Chen Zhi's advice."

He glanced at Baishan beside him from the corner of his eye, but he didn't mean to call my aunt, he just staggered away.

Miss Song is trembling and cold, +3
Bai Shan looked at Xiaomei, who was holding his arm, with doubts in his eyes. Miss Song's problem was actually his problem.

Xiaomei cast a critical eye on him.

From the corner of the corner of the eye, Miss Song saw the flirtatious eyes of the man and woman, she was trembling coldly, +4
She ran away far away to watch my sister-in-law play with the unconscious sea turtle.

Standing on the side of the boat, Bai Shan looked at the blue sea and sky, and glanced at the three women. It felt like "Zhang Wuji took the women to Binghuo Island", but when he thought about it carefully, the difference was quite big.

Zhang Wuji is the protagonist, whether it is Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, Xiao Zhao, or A Li, they all like him
But for me, Xiaomei, who is like a ghost bride, wants to "recharge", Miss Song and him are unwilling at all, and the eldest sister is his older sister.
The sun goes down over the sea, the moon rises high,

The icy cold light shone on the solitary boat.

And as the moonlight fell, a terrifying change suddenly arose.

"Ah~~~~" Miss Song screamed suddenly.

In fact, it's not her fault, even Bai Shan became vigilant.

In the moonlight, this building boat undergoes an extremely sudden change. The deck, cabin, and ship's side are all gone, replaced by pitted bones. Naturally, this building boat is no longer a boat, but a lying on the water, The bone itself and the lower body are completely distorted and misplaced! !
The deck they were standing on was the backbone of this skeleton.

And this original cabin is the internal organs of the skeleton that was twisted towards the sky.

Although those parts are gone, the location is indeed right.

Chen Zhi told them to come out of the cabin before nightfall, which meant that they should not stay in the internal organs of the skeleton.

Bai Shan glanced at Eldest Sister and Young Lady Song, both of them were trembling, who would not be afraid of normal people seeing this scene?
However, Baishan is no longer afraid.

He took out two thick velvet cloaks from the mustard bag, put them on the two of them, then raised his arms, causing the "arm pendant" Xiaomei to shake too.

"Miss Mei, let's go." He said softly.

Xiaomei responded.

The two walked away.

Only then did Bai Shan ask: "What's going on? Why does Captain Chen Zhi know that Song Youning is just an ordinary person, but still call her Miss? And this ship?"

Miss Xiaomei Nuo Nuo said: "Grandpa, you forgot, isn't it the same at night in our Song's house, this boat is not much different."

Bai Shan said: "What about Song Youning? What is the relationship between her and Miss?"

Miss Xiaomei suddenly became quiet, very quiet.

This is not thinking about how to answer, but a very solemn prelude.

Bai Shan waited quietly.

After a long time, Miss Xiaomei said: "Uncle, in fact, I call you Uncle, but I should only call you this life.

After Miss Song dies, we won't have any contact anymore.

At that time, you can choose again, and the power and resources you get during this period are all your own, which can be regarded as our reward for you. "

"However, if you really want to know the relationship between Miss Song and Miss, then you who know the secret will always be ours."

"Actually, the relationship between Miss Song and Miss is not important to you at all, and it doesn't matter at all. You don't need to pay the price of being tied to us forever for such a little curiosity."

"You are different from us, you are alive, you are human."

Baishan:.
Xiaomei looked at the starry sky, her peach blossom eyes reflected Xingzi, "Guye, if you want to know the answer, I can tell you, but after I tell you, you can't leave us, otherwise it will be betrayal."

"And the price that the betrayers have to pay is to be wiped out."

"Do you want to?"

"Uncle?"
