Chapter 3 The third horror at sea

"Anchor!" "Sail!" "Fair wind!" With loud voices one after another, the old fox's big boat finally sailed away from the coast under the sunset. The draft of the hull is very deep, and the boat is obviously full of goods. The only weakness of the fox is greed, so it will be caught by the hunter. It seems that the old fox is the same. Lu Xiaofeng also really wanted to catch this old fox and ask, what kind of cargo was on board?Will it be dangerous because the load is too heavy?He missed the old fox, but almost knocked over the beef soup. The door to the main cabin was ajar, and when he tried to get in, beef soup was coming out of it.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at her in surprise: "How did you get on the boat?" Beef soup blinked: "Because you came on board." Lu Xiaofeng said: "We got on the boat, you're going to get on the boat?" Niu Tang asked back: "Let me ask you, do you also want to eat when you are on the boat?" Of course, as long as a person is alive, he has to eat anywhere, and if he wants to eat, someone has to cook. Beef soup pointed to his nose and said, "I cook rice, not only rice, but also beef." Lu Xiaofeng said, "When did you change your career?"

Niu Tang smiled sweetly: "I was originally a cook, but occasionally I changed my career to do other things!" There are a total of eight main cabins, with bronze handles inlaid on the carved doors, which look luxurious and exquisite. Niu Tang said: "I heard that the people on this boat are all very well-known people." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, smiled wryly and said, "I can think of that, otherwise how can I afford the old fox's boat fare." Beef soup glanced at him out of the corner of his eyes, and said, "Do you have an identity?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No!"

Beef soup said: "You only have money?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No, after paying the boat money, I'm almost completely bankrupt." He is telling the truth. Niu Tang laughed again: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, if you occasionally take the wrong medicine, I can still change it once in a while." Lu Xiaofeng could only sigh, he couldn't imagine how such a girl could cook. Beef Tang pointed to the third cabin on the left and said, "This room is yours. The bastard who only eats eggs lives in the first cabin on the right." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Can I change one?"

Beef soup said: "No!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why?" Niu Tang said: "Because people are already living in other rooms." Lu Xiaofeng called out: "The old fox advised me to charter this boat, but now there are people in every room?" Beef Soup said lightly, "Not only are the eight rooms here filled with people, but the 16 rooms below are also filled with people. The old fox always likes to be lively, and the more people there are, the happier he is." With a smile, she said again: "It's just that those who live here are distinguished guests. The old fox even asked me to cook some delicious dishes for you. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I want to eat a roasted fox, an old fox roasted until its bones are crisp." Although there is no roast fox for dinner, the dishes are very rich, and the beef soup can really cook good dishes. "Because my grandma always said that if you want to win a man's heart, you have to open his stomach first. Only a woman who can cook good food can marry a good husband." When she said this, all the distinguished guests laughed, only Lu Xiaofeng couldn't laugh. He really couldn't figure out where the old fox found these distinguished guests, and they hated each one more than the other.

Moreover, Yue Yang never showed up. After he entered the cabin, he never came out. It was so easy to wait until late at night when everyone was quiet and Lu Xiaofeng stood alone on the side of the boat, with the vast ocean and brilliant starlight, it seemed that he was the only one left in the world, and he felt more at ease. "Lonely" is sometimes a kind of enjoyment, but it just makes people think of things that they shouldn't think about. Too many sad memories not only make people old, but also often make people change. Fortunately, Lu Xiaofeng didn't change too much.Lu Xiaofeng is still that passionate, impulsive, sometimes stupid as hell, sometimes extremely smart, he doesn't care about anything, but he just likes to meddle in other people's business.

What kind of person is Yue Yang?His clothes are not only made of good quality, but also carefully cut. He doesn't care about money, and he can give five hundred taels of silver to anyone casually.Although his hands were long and powerful, they never seemed to have done anything rough, and his every move was grand, as if others were born to be under his command. Judging from these points, he should be born in a wealthy family, but he is too shrewd and too cold, which is usually not the case for aristocratic families. Even when he was plotted against, he almost died unexpectedly, but not only did he not care about it at all, but he also didn't want to pursue it.

The one-eyed old fisherman obviously wanted to poison him to death, and he knew it, but he pretended to be confused. Is this because he was already on the run and already knew who was going to deal with him. But he didn't hide his behavior, and he didn't seem to be avoiding others' tracking.Instead, he seemed to be avoiding Lu Xiaofeng, he definitely didn't want to be on the same boat with Lu Xiaofeng, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't even mean to hurt him at all, he just wanted to make friends with him. Lu Xiaofeng couldn't figure out these questions. When he was thinking, he suddenly heard a "click", and a boat plank was pressed down on him, and then another gust of wind blew past, and another oar swept across his waist.

His men were on the side of the ship, and the only way of retreat was to flee below. Below is the sea.When he himself heard a "plop" again, his people had fallen into the sea. The cold sea water is bitterly salty. He stepped on the water, trying to use his strength to jump up, and first tried to find a way to cling to the hull of the boat.But the long scull above hit him facelessly again. The side of the ship was so high that he couldn't see the people on it, and the sea water reflected the starlight, but the people on it could see him. He could only retreat, but the boat was moving forward. The distance between the man and the boat was getting farther and farther. Even if he had the ability to fly on water, he would have no way to catch up. Even if he would not drown for a while, he would definitely It can't last long, and when the sun rises tomorrow, he must have sunk.

How could Lu Xiaofeng, who was always omnipotent and able to solve any difficulty, be drowned suddenly in a daze? Of course he would not have drowned so easily.A person who falls into the sea does not necessarily have to drown. At this moment, he had already thought of several ways to get through this crisis. ——Try to relax your body and let yourself float on the sea. As long as you can survive this night, there will probably be ships going to sea passing by tomorrow morning. This place is not too far from the sea port and is on the route again. ——Find a way to catch fish, use the flesh and blood of raw fish to replenish physical strength, and then use fish bubbles to increase buoyancy. Although these methods may not work, he must at least try, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he will never let it go. He believes that his ability to endure pain and respond to changes is always stronger than others. The most important thing is that he has an indomitable will to survive. Perhaps it is because of this strong will that he can survive countless crises and live until now.He still has to live. Unexpectedly, he didn't use these methods yet, there was another "click" sound on the water, and something fell from the side of the ship, which turned out to be a lifesaving boat. The person who knocked him overboard didn't seem to want him to die in the sea, but just to force him to get off the boat. Besides Yue Yang, who else would do such a thing? The small boat fell from a high place without capsizing. The person who threw the small boat used his strength skillfully. Lu Xiaofeng climbed up from the sea, and he was even more sure that this person was Yue Yang. There was a jug of water on the boat, ten hard-boiled eggs, and a very heavy package that Yue Yang pushed to him from the table that day. Of course, the package contained five hundred taels of boat money to compensate him. What this young man has done is absolutely unbelievable, not only did he not want to hide it at all, but he also seemed to specifically tell Lu Xiaofeng: "I just don't want you to take this boat, what can you do?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and couldn't help laughing again. He liked the young man, liked the way it was done, but now it looked like he might never see him again. The sea is vast and endless, is it to chase the old fox's big ship desperately, or to retreat from the original direction? Of course, desperately to catch up. Their boat has only been out to sea for three or four hours. If he is willing to paddle hard and with a little luck, he can sit in the fox's den and drink again around dawn. Unfortunately, he forgot two things: When the ship goes out to sea, the wind is favorable, and the power of two oars can never be compared with that of a sail. And he hasn't had much luck lately. Before the sun came out of the sea, his arms were already stiff and numb from vigorous rowing. This monotonous and easy movement was more difficult than anything else. He ate a few eggs with plain water, but he felt bitter in his mouth. He wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but he fell asleep as soon as he fell down. When he woke up, the sun was dazzling, and the sun had risen so high , The pot of water, which is more precious than gold juice, has been knocked over by him in his sleep, and dried by the sun. His lips have also been sunburned and cracked. At a glance, the sky is connected to the sea, and the sea is connected to the sky, but there is still no shadow of the land. But he saw a little shadow of the sail, and it was coming towards him. He could hardly bear the desire to turn eighty-seven somersaults on the boat to celebrate, even if the beggar suddenly saw a big ingot falling from the sky, he would never be as happy as he is now. The boat came quickly, and he suddenly found that the boat looked very familiar, and there was a person standing on the bow, who looked even more familiar, and it turned out to be an old fox. The old fox also has sharp eyes, and he is waving his arms and shouting from a distance, the distance between the sea boat and the boat is so close that even the wrinkles on his face can be seen. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized that the weather-beaten face of the old fox was actually cuter than the little girl. He almost couldn't help jumping up and shouting, but he just held back and deliberately lay down on the boat, pretending to be very leisurely. But the old fox was yelling: "We are looking for you everywhere, what are you doing here alone?" Lu Xiaofeng said leisurely: "I can't stand those dishes made with beef soup, so I want to catch some fish for wine." The old fox was stunned: "How many did you catch?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Although the fish was not caught, but an old fox was caught." He still couldn't help asking: "You guys have already gone to sea, so what are you doing when you come back?" The old fox also laughed, just like a standard old fox: "I also came back to fish." Lu Xiaofeng said: "There are no fish in the sea?" The old fox laughed and said, "Although there are fish over there, none of them are willing to pay me five hundred taels for the boat." Lu Xiaofeng immediately said: "I'm not willing to pay for this fish either, I already paid for it last time." The old fox said: "Last time was the last time, this time is this time, last time you wanted to leave by yourself, and I didn't push you down, so if you want to get on the boat this time, you have to pay me another five hundred taels." !" Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help shouting: "How dark is your heart?" The old fox laughed again, and said leisurely, "It's just a little darker than the fox you caught." He certainly wasn't back fishing. The ship was loaded with so much cargo that it forgot to pack water, and even the old fox could not find a drop of fresh water to drink on the sea. They had to come back to fill the water again. Maybe this is fate, Lu Xiaofeng seems to be destined to take this boat.What is good luck?Or bad luck? who knows? The ship has landed.Lu Xiaofeng stood at the bow of the boat with the old fox, no matter what, it was always a pleasure to see the land again. Beside the rocks in the distance, there was a man looking over here, with a long and narrow horse face, with a very surprised expression. Lu Xiaofeng pretended not to see it, and quietly slipped off the boat from the other side. The people beside the rocks had been paying attention to the movement of the boat, but they didn't pay attention to him. He made a circle, slipped past quietly, suddenly appeared in front of this person, and said loudly, "Hello." He thought that this person would be shocked, but he just blinked his eyes, but his eyes were still calm and cold, looking at him coldly, and said: "Hello!" Every nerve in this man's body is like a wire. Lu Xiaofeng was a little uneasy on the contrary, forced a smile and said: "Are you wondering why we came back again?" Hu Sheng did not deny it. Lu Xiaofeng said: "We'll come back and look for you." Hu Sheng said, "Why are you looking for me?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because the cargo you want to transport is too heavy, we are afraid of capsizing, so we have to return it to you!" He fired a false shot, trying to spy on this person's reality. Who knows that Hu Sheng didn't even blink his eyes this time, and said coldly: "The cargo is not mine, and the ship is not yours. This matter has nothing to do with you or me. Why do you want me?" Lu Xiaofeng's shot obviously hit the stone wall, but he still didn't give up, and asked again: "If the goods are not yours, what are you doing here? I came here specially to deal with you with the cock crowing and five watch returning soul incense Brothers?" Hu Sheng's cold eyes stared at his face like a blade, but his body suddenly jumped up, plucked the onion from the dry land, turned over the kite, and entered the water with the osprey. Not under the world-renowned lone thief Sikong Zhaixing. No matter who possesses such extreme lightness kung fu, he must be a person with a lot of background. Looking at the rolling and falling waves, Lu Xiaofeng thought about hundreds of questions in his mind, and when he turned his head, he found that Yue Yang's cold eyes were also staring at him like blades. He simply walked over and said with a smile, "Strange, isn't it? We actually met again." Yue Yang said coldly: "I'm just surprised that you can't even finish ten eggs." Lu Xiaofeng said: "So if you want to beat me into the water next time, you'd better remember one thing." Yue Yang said: "What's the matter?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't like boiled eggs, I like rice wine beef." Yue Yang said: "Next time you fall into the water, I'm afraid there will only be one thing to eat." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What?" Yue Yang said: "Your own meat." Lu Xiaofeng laughed out loud, but someone on the shore exclaimed, a person was swept up by the waves, landed on the shore, and suddenly found that it was a dead person. They rushed over, and immediately found that the dead man was the friend who had jumped into the water just now. His lightness kung fu is so high, and his water quality is so bad, how could he drown in a single stroke? "This man was not drowned." The fisherman who found his body said with certainty: "Because there is no water in his stomach." But he couldn't even find a single wound or blood on his body. "How did he die?" Lu Xiaofeng turned to look at Yue Yang: "He seems to be dead like that one-eyed old man." Yue Yang turned around and walked away with his head down, looking indescribably tired and sad. It is not easy to kill Hu Sheng. Of course it wasn't Yue Yang who killed him. There must be another terrible murderer nearby, who killed Hu Sheng and the old fisherman in the same terrible way. The only similarity between these two people is that they both plot against Yue Yang. Could this be the cause of their death? So what is the relationship between this murderer and Yue Yang? Lu Xiaofeng sighed, refusing to think about it any further, now he just wants to take a quick bath. Anyone who has been in salt water for a while will definitely want to take a bath. It doesn't matter whether he killed someone or not. The bathing place is very simple, just a row of three huts built with a few broken wooden boards. If you want to peek at people taking a bath, you can find several holes in any wooden board. Except for these big and small holes, there is nothing inside, and those who want to take a bath have to carry water in by themselves. Lu Xiaofeng went in with a bucket of water, there was already someone in the next door, humming a little tune, it was a woman. There are not many people who come here to take a bath, and even fewer women have the courage to come here. Knowing that someone may peek at you when you are taking a bath, this feeling is not good after all. Fortunately Lu Xiaofeng didn't have this habit, what he didn't expect was that there was a pair of eyes peeking at him from a small hole in the wooden board. He turned his back immediately, and the person peeking at him burst out laughing, the laughter was actually very sweet. "Beef soup!" Lu Xiaofeng called out, of course he could hear the voice of beef soup. Beef soup chuckled and said, "I never thought that you would like to be clean enough to take a bath by yourself." Lu Xiaofeng said: "If you don't wash it by yourself, why don't you find someone to wash it in your arms?" Niu Tang said: "Did you come to take a bath because you wanted to peek at me taking a bath?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't seem to be the one who likes to peek at other people's baths." Beef soup said: "I can peek at you, but you can't peek at me—" Before the sentence was finished, the wooden board suddenly collapsed, and the body of beef soup was leaning on the wooden board, but now the person and the board fell on Lu Xiaofeng's body. The two people's bodies that can be used to cover up are not enough together. Make a piece of baby's diaper. So now none of them need to peek at each other. After a long time, I heard Niu Tang sigh softly and said: "You are really not a good person." "And you?" "I don't seem to be either!" It's not a good situation for two people who are not good people, crowded in a hut that may collapse at any time. What's worse, at this time, someone in the distance shouted again: "The boat is sailing, the boat is sailing!" The boat has been sailing for three days.These three days were actually very peaceful, the sea was sunny and sunny, apart from the hard work of having a meal with those distinguished guests every day, Lu Xiaofeng had almost no other worries. All the troubles seemed to have been blown away by the sea breeze, and the blood was also blown away. Yue Yang didn't seem to have any intention of throwing him into the water anymore, and he wouldn't give Yue Yang a second chance. The goods on board are nothing more than woodcarved Buddha statues and wooden fish for chanting sutras.He had asked the old fox, and had seen it himself. "People in Fusang Island believe in Buddhism recently, so Buddha statues and wooden fish are very popular." The old fox explained: "Although there are people who carve Buddha statues there, they don't have such good craftsmanship." The carvings of Buddha statues are indeed exquisite, and carving is an ancient art.Of course, it's not something that narrow-minded and short-sighted Japanese can understand. They like these exquisite works of art, perhaps only because of a deep-rooted national inferiority complex, as long as they can take something from the descendants of the Chinese people, whether it is buying, stealing, or robbing, they will feel honored and happy. Lu Xiaofeng didn't know much about this kind of thing, and he didn't really want to know about it, because at that time, no one saw those nouveau riche with shrunken shoulders and short legs and pretentiousness. The owners of these Buddha statues and wooden fish are those vulgar "noble customers" who are willing to deal with upstarts, and of course they are not very likable.Fortunately Lu Xiaofeng can ignore them, when he wants to chat, he would rather go to the old fox and beef soup. When he didn't want to chat, he just lay alone in the cabin, enjoying the solitude and tranquility that he rarely enjoyed. Just when he was at his calmest, the boat suddenly became very restless. He was lying on the bed well, but suddenly he was bounced up, and then he almost hit the board of the ship. The boat suddenly became like a sieve, and people became like rice in the sieve. Lu Xiaofeng managed to stand still, but was bounced to the opposite side all of a sudden, he had no choice but to hold on to the handle first, and slowly opened the door, only to hear the sound of running and screaming outside. On the calm sea, a storm suddenly broke out. It is really hard for those who have not experienced it personally to imagine the horror of this storm. The sea water rolls back, as if mountains are pressing down on their heads, and there is a shrill whistling sound, and it is like a huge hammer hitting the hull. As long as there is a little rupture, the sea water will immediately pour in, and people are like It was in the boiling soup on the stove. The huge and strong sea ship, in this kind of wind and waves, has become like a children's toy! No matter what kind of person, no matter how much he has achieved, in this kind of storm, he will become humble and fragile, completely losing his mind and confidence in himself. Lu Xiaofeng tried his best to hold on to everything he could grab, and finally found the old fox. "Can this boat survive?" The old fox didn't answer. This was undoubtedly the first time he couldn't answer what someone asked him. But Lu Xiaofeng already knew the answer, the despair in the old fox's eyes already explained everything. "You'd better try to hold onto a plank," was the last thing he heard the old fox say. Another wave rolled in, and the old fox's people were thrown out like projectiles, and they couldn't even see their shadows in a blink of an eye. It's a pity that Lu Xiaofeng didn't remember his words well. What Lu Xiaofeng was holding was not a wooden board, but a person's hand, and he suddenly saw Yue Yang. Yue Yang was also looking at him coldly, but with an incomprehensible expression in his eyes, he suddenly said something strange: "You should know by now, why I must not let you take this boat?" "Did you know this ship was going to sink?" Yue Yang didn't answer either, because at this time the mainmast of the ship had fallen down. A layer of huge waves pressed down like a mountain peak, and the boat was smashed to pieces like a toy. Lu Xiaofeng suddenly couldn't see anything before his eyes, and then he realized that he had sunk into the sea water. Dark water.
