Chapter 196 Merchant Ship
A round of bright moon hangs high in the sky, sprinkled with cold and clear brilliance.

On the quiet and silent river, a large merchant ship sailed slowly.

This is a merchant ship from Tianlin Mansion. After sailing for more than ten days, it is finally ready to arrive at the target location.

After nightfall, due to the limited vision, the boats dare not drive fast, as if a boat hits a rock, a catastrophic accident of shipwreck and death will happen every minute, so you have to be careful.

Li Long and Zhao Sheng, two experienced sailors, were arranged to watch the night in the cockpit.

In order to prevent the ship from deviating from the course, there must be someone at the helm in the cockpit at all times, otherwise dangerous accidents will easily occur.

It's just that the river is calm now, and there are no strong winds and waves, and it is almost impossible to deviate from the course.

What's more, on Jiangshang, the temperature will start to drop sharply after nightfall, and the two of them can only get rid of the cold by eating peanuts and drinking burning knives.

After all, there is still some time before dawn, and it would be difficult for people to survive without the stimulant effect of alcohol.

"Sheng Zhao, I heard that something happened to the Lucky Ship two days ago, and I haven't found it yet." Li Long was bored, and started chatting about strange gossip.

"I've also heard that the lucky ship is not small, why did it suddenly disappear?" Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, also feeling a little strange.

"Who knows, who can explain the matter on the river clearly, maybe it will be taken away by Lord Long." Li Long took a mouthful of the burning knife, his throat was burning, alcohol welled up in his heart, and his face was flushed.

"So, I think it's possible that it hit a reef and sank. Then it sank into deep water, and even the boat and people couldn't find it." Zhao Sheng bit the peanut in his mouth and made a crunchy sound.

The most common reason a ship sinks is when it hits a reef.

I don't know how many lives were buried on the hideous and abrupt reef under the river.

"Whatever, as long as our ship is safe and sound."

"When we arrive in Ningshui City, we can go to Baihualou to find those little ladies who are so romantic and happy. I heard that the girls in Ningshui City have watery skin." Li Long chuckled.

"That's right." Zhao Sheng, who is also a fellow, laughed the same way. .

The two met and smiled at the same time.

The topic between men will inexplicably lead to a certain place when they chat.

It comes from a certain nature.

Li Long and Zhao Sheng chatted passionately, and they didn't stop talking. They kept pouring the burning knife, and quickly drank two jugs of wine.

Not long after, Li Long felt that his bladder was about to explode, and he couldn't hold back his urge to urinate any longer and said anxiously: "Sheng Zhao, I'm going to pee outside, you watch first."

According to regulations, the cockpit must be manned anyway.

If the two of them went out at the same time and were discovered, the consequences would be quite serious.

Zhao Sheng was also a little anxious to urinate, but Li Long brought it up first, so he could only helplessly say: "Then you go and come back quickly, I can't hold it anymore."

"Okay! Good brother, you wait for me to come back."

Li Long seemed to really be unable to hold back, and ran out of the cockpit without saying a word.

For a while, Zhao Sheng was the only one left in the huge cockpit.

However, Zhao Sheng was tormented by the desire to urinate at the moment, and he didn't feel scared in his heart. He just hoped that Li Long would come back soon so that he could be relieved quickly.

But after waiting and waiting, Li Long still didn't come back.

This made him secretly anxious.

"What the hell is Li Long doing? Does it take so long to pee?"

"Could it be an accident?"

Zhao Sheng had a bad premonition in his heart.

In the middle of the night, he used his knees to know that Li Long must have run to the deck to solve the problem.

But this guy drank a lot of wine, if he didn't become confused, it would be a disaster if he accidentally fell into the river.

This kind of thing has not happened.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng couldn't care less, and hurried out of the cockpit to look for Li Long, after all, human life is a matter of fate.

The front deck can be seen from the cockpit, but Li Long's figure has never appeared, so he should have gone to the rear deck.

Zhao Sheng came to the rear deck with a lantern, and the river wind blew.

The lantern was blown out instantly.

His vision was instantly plunged into darkness.

Zhao Sheng was also chilled by the wind from the river, and his body kept shaking.

The night is pretty good tonight, there are no dark clouds to obscure the moonlight, but I can barely see the surrounding environment clearly.

"Li Long, where did he die?"

Zhao Sheng searched around the rear deck, but found nothing.

"Forget it, let's wake up the boss and the others."

Zhao Sheng thought about it and made a decision in his heart.

After all, the loss of a living person is not something he can handle.

slap~
Just as he turned back to the cabin, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

"Who!"

Zhao Sheng was taken aback.

I obviously searched around the deck just now, but I didn't find anyone, so how could there be footsteps?
Could it be Li Long?
After all, in the middle of the night, he and himself were the only ones who didn't sleep.

Turn around.

Not Li Long!

But a middle-aged man.

However, Zhao Sheng still breathed a sigh of relief, and said anxiously: "Boss, Li Long has disappeared."

This middle-aged man is the owner of the ship.

It's just that he didn't seem to hear Zhao Sheng's words, he didn't respond, and looked at Zhao Sheng intently.

"Master??"

Zhao Sheng felt a little apprehensive when he saw the owner's eyes.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, the owner's face was as pale as a piece of white paper, bloodless.

Coupled with the stiff and dull face, Zhao Sheng felt as if a dead man was staring at him!

A puddle of unknown liquid flowed out from Zhao Sheng's trouser leg.

Originally, he was holding back the desire to urinate, but when he was frightened like this again, he was immediately frightened to urinate.

chi chi chi~
At this time, there was a rustling sound from behind.

The sound was very sharp, like metal scales rubbing against a wooden board.

Zhao Sheng was scared out of his wits, but he didn't dare to turn his head.

He was afraid of seeing something terrible.

But the very strange shipowner in front of him also made him feel inexplicably cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Suddenly, Zhao Sheng swept his eyes away and became even more frightened.

He found that under the pale moonlight, the shipowner's body did not form any shadow.

This is simply impossible.

How can a person have no shadow?

Zhao Sheng only felt his scalp tingling and goosebumps all over his body.

There is only one possibility.

That is the owner of the ship in front of me, not a person!

Just then.

Zhao Sheng felt something slippery wrapped around his neck.

The thing was slowly locking tightly, making him a little breathless.

"Help!!!"

"Is there anyone to save me?!!!"

Zhao Sheng's mentality completely collapsed, and he yelled frantically.

But got no response.

It seemed that he was the only living person left on this merchant ship.

A living being ready to die.

The greasy thing shrank with irresistible force.

Soon Zhao Sheng couldn't even speak, his brain started to lack oxygen, his face turned purple, and his eyes were filled with boundless fear.
