Chapter 87 The Death Song in the Fog (1)
一
It's been a month since the business opened, and Boss Feng has been very angry recently, beating people up every now and then.As the most famous pirate swimming in this sea area, it is really intolerable not to open for a month.But these days are really unlucky, either the wind and waves are too big to sail; or they patrol the sea for a day, but they still can't touch the ship;

The night before, the Huoling Strait was stormy, and the wind broke the mast of Boss Feng's ship. This was a very bad omen, and made Boss Feng's anger rise to the peak.Although his master and his subordinates urged him not to do business today, "It's unlucky to break the mast", he still insisted on going his own way, and when the wind and waves subsided, he jumped on another boat and left the island resolutely. out to sea.

This time the luck still seems to be not so good, the timing of the outlying islands has been adjusted once or twice, but nothing has been found yet.Boss Feng was pointing to the curse day when one of his subordinates suddenly ran over to report: "Island owner! A few people were found floating in the sea ahead. They seemed to be floating corpses. Do you want to fish them up and search them?"

"You worthless bastard!" Boss Feng slapped his men severely, "We are pirates, people with status, how can we do such a shameful deed?"

"I... I just thought that I haven't opened for a long time. If some silver notes and jewelry are found, it can be regarded as filling in the gap." The subordinate said aggrievedly, "There are two corpses whose clothes look good. Maybe a rich man."

Boss Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally stomped his feet: "Damn, what you say makes sense... let's get it!"

So the men put down the small sampan and fished up the five floating corpses of four men and one woman in the sea, and the appearance of these five corpses confused the pirates.At first glance, these corpses should have just fallen into the water not long ago, because none of them were swollen by the sea water, but the corpses were not the same from each other.Three of them looked like the corpses of poor peasants, apparently dead for a long time, while the pair of young men and women who "looked like rich people" were lifelike, as if they had just died.If this man and a woman are alive, they can really be regarded as a pair of lovers. The man is handsome, with a bit of scholarly elegance, and the woman is a feather man, with bright blond hair and a beautiful and pure face. .It is very difficult for the pirates who have been wandering the sea all year round to see such a beautiful girl. Even the always hard-hearted Boss Feng couldn't help expressing his deep regret.

"Damn it! It's such a pity that such a beautiful girl died like this!" He slapped his hands hard.

Unexpectedly, the sound of this slap was like some kind of signal, and the man and woman opened their eyes, scaring the pirates back again and again.But after all, they are all a group of desperadoes, and they immediately realized that these two people were just pretending to be dead.

"So he's still alive!" Boss Feng grinned, "That's great! I just need a Mrs. Yazhai... What, what's going on!"

Boss Feng was halfway through speaking, when he suddenly exclaimed, because he saw the other three corpses also slowly moving.If this pair of talented young men and women can be explained by pretending to be dead, the other three corpses are all gray and dark, with stiff limbs, and they can faintly smell the smell of corpses. Pirates who are used to seeing dead people can do it at a glance. It was judged that these three were all dead.But now, the three dead people actually started to move, slowly stood up from the deck, the cowardly pirate could not help but turn around and run away.

"Damn it! Did you cheat the corpse?" Boss Feng must have the guts to be the leader of the pirates.At this moment, even when faced with the miracle of the resurrection of the dead body, he was not scared out of his wits, on the contrary, he became fierce, no matter what he did, he went forward and punched a dead body in the chest.He punched heavily and often boasted that he could kill a shark with a single punch that dented the chest of the corpse with a thud.

But the corpse still didn't stop at all, and continued to stride forward.When Boss Feng finally came to his senses, "This fucking corpse is not afraid of pain at all", the three walking corpses had already approached him, one holding his arm, one pulling his leg, and one pressing his head, pulling Boss Feng to the ground to die Hold it down.

"Whoever dares to move will break his neck!" The handsome young man opened his mouth and shouted, "Throw away all the weapons in your hands!"

It was about the life and death of the boss, none of the pirates dared to move, obediently obediently threw away their weapons.Old Feng blushed with anger, maybe he was ashamed, because he had never been so ashamed in front of his subordinates, but facing the resurrected walking corpse, he really had nothing to do.Moreover, these walking corpses have superhuman strength, even with his brute force, he couldn't break free, so he had to calm down and stop struggling.

"That's right, those who know the current affairs are brilliant," the young man was very satisfied, "Please help us find some clean clothes, and give us some water, and it's best to boil some ginger soup to drive away the cold—ah, expensive There are female pirates on the ship, so it will be easier, please borrow the girl's clothes too."

The walking corpses treated Boss Feng so rudely, but the young man spoke very politely, but behind this was still a coercion without anger.After he gave the order, the pirates rushed into the cabin to prepare for him, fearing that their slow pace would anger him, and they really broke Boss Feng's neck with a snap.The young man paused, then lowered his head to look at his bare feet: "If you have extra shoes, please give me a pair, thank you."

This pair of young men and women were of course Xue Huaiqing and An Xingmian who jumped into the sea in the middle of the night.Xue Huaiqing used the corpse dance technique to turn the three walking corpses into buoyant bags capable of exerting their own strength, and carried the two of them floating in the sea all night, relying on the amazing strength of the walking corpses, they struggled all night.Before dawn, the storm finally subsided and the sea returned to calm, and the luck of the two of them was really good. They even met Boss Feng who was eager to open his business, and they were truly out of danger.

Xue Huaiqing herself has some unique methods of corpse dancers, which can quickly dry clothes, but using her mental power to command the walking corpses to drift on the sea for a night, even when she was healthy, she would not be able to bear it, let alone her body has not recovered yet. So she tried not to use any secret techniques as much as possible, and changed into the clothes of a female pirate, which was quite charming.

"I have imagined over and over again what it will be like when we meet again, and what should I say to you," An Xingmian, who also changed into a pirate costume, helped her lie down on a soft couch "But I really didn't expect that we would meet again in the sea that could drown people at any time. I was too busy to talk all night. Now I really want to say something to you, but my brain seems to be soaked in salt water. Nothing can be said."

"Then there is no need to say anything," Xue Huaiqing smiled slightly, "There is no need to say anything between you and me."

She leaned lightly on An Xingmian, and An Xingmian stretched out his left arm to hug her, and fed her steaming ginger soup spoon by spoon with his right hand, blowing on each spoonful of soup to avoid it being too hot.After drinking half a bowl of ginger soup, and chewing some dry food such as dried fish and shrimp, Xue Huaiqing's pale face finally had a tinge of blood, and his body no longer trembled.An Xingmian let out a long breath, and said to her: "Go to sleep for a while, I have already tied this Island Master Feng with a cable. Unless he is Kuafu, he will not be able to break free. You don't need to use the corpse dance again." surgery."

Xue Huaiqing nodded trustingly: "I'm really tired, I'll leave it to you, be careful."

An Xingmian carefully let go of her arms, and put her on the couch. Xue Huaiqing's breathing gradually became gentle, and she fell into a dream. The three walking corpses who had been standing proudly by the side immediately seemed to be discouraged. The skin bag limply fell to the ground.The corpse dancer could have kept the corpse servant's athletic ability in sleep through spiritual connection, and could simply stand guard, but Xue Huaiqing was too tired, and the reunion with An Xingmian made her finally find a person she could trust completely. people.So she completely relaxed her mind and stopped driving those three poor corpses.

Looking at Xue Huaiqing who was sleeping soundly, An Xingmian's heart that had been hanging over the past few months was relieved.Although the two of them are on a pirate ship in the sea at the moment, and there are countless vicious pirates around, but he and Xue Huaiqing are finally together again, and the two together seem to overcome everything.

Boss Feng's vicious voice interrupted his reverie: "Hey, you said 'corpse dance' just now? Is this girl the legendary corpse dancer who can let corpses fight for you?"

An Xingmian nodded, and Boss Feng spat hard: "Damn it! I thought those legends were all fake, but I didn't expect to meet the truth today!"

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you, the head of the family," An Xingmian said, "We just need a boat to take us back to the mainland. When we get to the shore, I will not only return the boat to you, but also pay you for it." Shipment."

Boss Feng snorted through his nose: "We are pirates, and the business has been delayed, can you make up for the little boat money?"

After hearing what he said, An Xingmian reached out and took out a small oilcloth bag from the sundries she took out when changing clothes: "Fortunately, I had already prepared before boarding the boat, and wrapped these banknotes with a tarpaulin. It should still work."

He untied the oilcloth bag and handed the contents to Boss Feng. It turned out to be a few slightly damp but undamaged bank notes.Boss Feng saw the above amount clearly, and his eyes widened all of a sudden: "All of these...give it to me? His grandma's, he won't have to do business for half a year!"

"When a gentleman says it, it's hard to chase," An Xingmian said, "But I know you're still a little bit dissatisfied, thinking that we subdued you by relying on the surprise of the dead dance."

"Of course, I got on a pirate ship at the age of 14. I have been in this sea area for more than 30 years. No living person has ever been able to block my fist!" Boss Feng stared again.

"I just found out that you are a rude and violent person, but your subordinates are very loyal to you. When you were caught by us, they dared not disobey the slightest thing. They will do whatever I say." An Xinmian There was no pick up, but a strange change of subject.

"Of course!" Boss Feng was very proud, "A small half of my scars were added to save the lives of these bastards!"

"This shows that you are at least a person of loyalty. According to my inference, people of loyalty generally keep their promises, right?" An Xingmian asked again.

"Everyone in this sea knows that what I, Boss Feng, said is harder than coral dust gold on the bottom of the sea, and I have never regretted it." Hearing that there was a hint of praise in An Xingmian's tone, Boss Feng's tone was also gentle. some.

"In this case, let's make a bet." An Xingmian said, and stepped forward to untie the rope for Boss Feng.Boss Feng was astonished. Although he regained his freedom, he forgot to punch An Xingmian immediately. Instead, he stammered and asked, "You, what do you want to do?"

"I know you don't accept what happened just now. Dead people are not afraid of pain and your fists, so let me accompany you through a few tricks." An Xingmian flexed his wrist, "If you win, you can kick us off the boat, and I will give it to you along the way." All the belongings in your body; if you lose, I will trouble you to drive this boat for a while, and of course, the money will be paid accordingly."

Boss Feng was a little confused: "Did you get fooled in the sea?"

"No, in fact I am more awake than ever," An Xingmian said, "but I have to make this bet, because I not only want to survive, but I also have to borrow this boat to accomplish some very important things, otherwise, even if This time I escaped by chance, but next time I will have to jump into the sea.”

"I see!" Boss Feng seemed to be stunned, "You are going to chase the people who threw you into the sea, and kill them to avoid future troubles. But you have no ability to catch up with them yourself, so you want to use my boat."

"You guessed pretty close. That's probably what happened." An Xingmian said, "How about it? Bet or not?"

Boss Feng thought for a while, then shouted, "It's a bet!"

This duel on the deck attracted almost all the pirates on the ship to watch. Boss Feng was restrained by several corpses just now. It is true that the pirates were not very convinced. Now there is an opportunity to come back and regain their face, which is naturally not to be missed.Boss Feng really didn't want to take advantage, he wanted An Xingmian to rest for an extra day, because he had struggled in the waves all night, and his physical strength was obviously lacking.

"Sorry, I can't wait any longer. I have to set off immediately to catch up with that big ship. I might not be able to catch up if I wait a little longer," An Xingmian said, "Let's start now, I have enough physical strength."

Boss Feng frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly swung his right fist, hitting his left arm hard.This blow was so powerful that there was a muffled sound, and An Xingmian was taken aback for a moment.

"Okay, my left arm hurts a lot, and I can't exert any force when I fight, so we're even." Boss Feng didn't show any pain on his face, "Come on, let's start."

He turned his head and said to the pirates: "Listen up, you bastards, this is a fair bet. If anyone dares to be troublesome, I will chop off your dog's paw!"

The pirates were naturally obedient and did not dare to say no, so An Xingmian nodded and signaled Boss Feng to make a move.Boss Feng took a deep breath, let out a tiger roar, and with a flick of his right fist, he had already reached An Xingmian's face.

With the strong wind blowing in his face, An Xingmian's heart trembled slightly, and he hurriedly turned his head away, only then did he realize that he was a bit overbearing.He had seen the three walking corpses face to face before and restrained Boss Feng, thinking that he would be easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that this person had some real qualities, maybe it was just because he underestimated the enemy just now.Now that he was under the pressure of the game, he naturally went all out. The speed and strength of this punch were excellent, and it would be difficult for an ordinary warrior to resist.

After An Xingmian dodged to dodge, he raised his right hand and took Boss Feng's right arm instead, trying to twist his joints.But Boss Feng was extremely strong, and he couldn't loosen his joints under the force, but was shaken by him so hard that his shoulder hurt, and he had to let go hastily.Boss Feng turned around and waved his right fist like the wind. The moves looked simple and plain, but the strength was strong and the speed was astonishing, which forced An Xingmian back again and again, not daring to confront him head-on.

Too bad, this time I underestimated my opponent too much, An Xingmian was secretly anxious.In fact, if he was full of energy, he would still be able to win against such a pure and fierce approach, but Boss Feng was right before, after struggling in the sea all night, his energy was really low, and his reaction was slower than usual. few.

But he had to bite the bullet and make the bet.After boarding this pirate ship, he made up his mind that he must use this fast ship to pursue Mr. Yuwen.But he also knew that coercing a group of pirates by force could only succeed for a while. After all, there were only two of him and Xue Huaiqing, and Xue Huaiqing hadn't recovered yet, surrounded by enemies, not to mention that he knew nothing about navigation.If the pirates deliberately took a wrong route, or even went wrong and were attacked by surprise, then everything would be over.So he could only take the risk of gambling with Boss Feng, hoping to command the pirate ship to serve him with dignity.

Sure enough, Boss Feng's left arm was not very flexible and lacking in strength, but he concentrated on using his right arm, which made it even more powerful.Moreover, he has been in the sea for many years, and he has rich actual combat experience. An Xingmian repeatedly tried to show weakness and try to lure him to show his flaws, but he never took the bait.Probably due to being too careless before, he stumbled on the walking corpse. Boss Feng is now extremely cautious. Although the offensive is fierce, there is still room for each move, and he will never let the opponent take advantage of it. Astral power.

Is it possible to steal a chicken now and lose a handful of rice?An Xingmian's back was already drenched, and the sweat rolled down, usually because of fierce fighting, and the other half was because of nervousness.He regretted that he had talked too much, but now, there is no way out.If this battle is defeated, what will happen to him and Xue Huaiqing is really unimaginable.
