But now that Yuanhang is gone, it is not easy for him to go to his destination.
After all, it was a place haunted by aliens. Ordinary fishing boats would not dare to go there, and pirate boats would not pull themselves there.
Although I can use stealth to steal a pirate ship directly.
But the problem is that I don't know how to sail, and I don't know how to sail a boat alone.
On the contrary, he is very clear about the principle of shipbuilding.
"Let's look for it, if it doesn't work, just use money to solve it."
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the fishing village not far away in the lower-level area, and he believed that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.
So along the port, walked towards the fishing village.
Before you get close enough, you can smell the unique intoxicating smell of fruit wine.
It was a fragrance mixed with sweetness and rich bouquet.
Also the cheapest drinks.
The raw material for brewing is strong alcohol after three years of brewing with sugar cane juice, for sailors who have been wandering on the ship all year round.
This drink, called rum, is undoubtedly a cheap and affordable gem.
If it can be paired with rum after a mint leaf, it is definitely a unique treat. ,
Although this is the lower level of Paradise Island, it is known as the stinky ditch of Paradise Island.
Although the house looks disorganized, the ground is still paved with smooth stone slabs.
For a seaport that is often hit by wind and rain, this is a huge project that costs a lot of money but has to be done.
As soon as he entered the fishing village, Ding Xiaoyi immediately felt the peeping eyes all around him.
The appearance of a stranger often attracts the attention of the people here.
But it's more of a warning.
Occasionally there were some unkind eyes, but when these eyes saw Krutu's cold face, they quickly avoided him.
At this time, his eyes suddenly stopped on a small grocery store next to him.
The grocer with its old greasy doors and the queer name of "Fences, Women, and Dogs."
This is secondary, the important thing is that the owner of the grocery store actually looks like an old man from Xia.
Wrapped in a white turban, she was lying lazily on the same old bamboo chair next to her, smoking a pipe.
In this new world, the proportion of Xia people is not high.
After all, the limbs of the Xia people are not naturally strong enough, unless they are healers or fallen spirit masters, they don't have any advantages here.
Therefore, seeing the Xia people of the same clan, there will be a sense of closeness in my heart.
He noticed that Ding Xiaoyi was walking towards him.
The old man sitting in front of the door smoking a cigarette suddenly became alert.
After all, Ding Xiaoyi thinks he is of the same family, but he thinks Ding Xiaoyi is not.
Especially this unfriendly face on his face, it always looks like he is staring at everyone who owes me money.
"Is there anything I need??"
The old man asked cautiously.
"I need to find a boat that can go to sea, but the place to go is a bit dangerous, but I can pay a good salary."
When you hear the reward, and it is a generous reward.
The old man's eyes lit up, and he raised his palm: "At least this number!"
"can!"
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the old man's palm with only two fingers left, and nodded without hesitation.
Seeing that he promised so readily, the old man hesitated for a while, and added: "I said 20 yuan!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm talking about 200!"
Hearing the number 200, the old man's eyes were straightened, and he quickly patted his thigh and said, "I'll take this job!"
As he said that, he turned around and shouted twice into the store, and a boy about ten years old came out, with tanned skin, lean and strong hands and feet, and a mature look in his eyes that did not match his age.
"50 yuan, take him out to sea!"
The boy frowned deeply when he heard the words: "But what I just heard was 200!"
"Okay, up to 70 yuan, you little bastard, it's mine to eat, drink, and live in. I haven't even counted these things with you!"
After the old man glared at the boy and complained, the boy had no choice but to look at Ding Xiaoyi. Although he was a little afraid of this man, he still had the courage to ask, "Where are you going?"
"The islands in the Eastern Gulf."
Ding Xiaoyi remembered that there was no specific name for the island in the information, but only vaguely pointed out the general direction.
The boy was stunned, and raised his head: "That is the territory of aliens! It is dangerous."
The words "foreigner" obviously made the people around them very uncomfortable.
Most of them are full of fear of aliens.
Even see it as a demon.
Getting close to their territory is definitely a dead end.
Even the old man couldn't help hesitating, shaking his head: "Forget it, we won't take this job!"
Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi heaved a long sigh, and was not surprised by the result, so he opened his mouth and directly bid 200 yuan.
Seeing that they refused at this time, I was relieved in my heart.
It's really dangerous there, if a ten-year-old child takes him there, if something happens, he won't feel good.
Remembering that there is a bar below, he plans to try his luck in it.
Find out if there are any pirates who prefer to be helpful.
"and many more!!"
As soon as he walked down the steps, Ding Xiaoyi heard someone calling himself from behind.
I saw the boy running over quickly: "I can take you there, but...you need to pay extra!"
"How many!"
Seeing the serious expression of the boy in front of him, Ding Xiaoyi folded his arms, waiting for his answer.
"2000!"
Unexpectedly, the boy directly added a fraction after the number.
With the figure of 2000 yuan, many things can be done in Paradise Island right now.
You must know that a bottle of rum here starts at only 3 yuan.
Two loaves cost only one dollar.
This made him feel a little disgusted. He has no shortage of money, and he is even very rich.
2000 yuan is nothing to me at all.
But he doesn't like others to take him for granted.
Just when he was about to reject the boy.
What the boy said next shocked him instantly.
"2000 yuan is not worth mentioning to you, but it is enough for you to buy my life.
If I die there this time.
At least I will leave some money to my grandpa.
Enough for him to live the rest of his life with peace of mind.
In the future, there will be no need to save money to buy a boat ticket for me. "
Ding Xiaoyi's heart was shocked by the boy's words.
The boy's fiery and firm eyes and sharp words all shocked him.
Death may not be the most feared thing for a boy under ten years old.
But what is amazing is the aura displayed by the boy, the courage to see death as home, this is only a ten-year-old child.
When I was ten years old, what was going through my head? ?
After school, whether to do your homework first or play games first is the question you should think about.
Facing the boy's eyes staring at him, Ding Xiaoyi's heart softened instantly. He was just a normal person, and he still couldn't achieve that level of steel and ruthlessness.
"Please don't refuse. In this season, sea fog often gushes out from the sea. Now even if you pay a higher price, no pirate is willing to take the risk!"
Ding Xiaoyi raised his lips slightly when he heard this, and said, "I can offer 2 yuan!"
Faced with such a disguised rejection.
On the contrary, the boy became more confident: "Sorry, although it is very tempting, but I think if you ask for [-] yuan.
Then instead of getting there, you might not even be able to get out of here alive.
After all, killing a person and taking a person on an adventure are both the result of [-] yuan.
I imagine those murderous pirates would never mind killing someone who might have more money on them. "
"Pretty!"
After the boy finished speaking, Wangcai couldn't help but praise: "The thinking is clear and well-founded, you lost!"
"Heh, I think it's time for Datou to come out and eat some coarse grains soon!"
Ding Xiaoyi was not convinced, but he had to admit in his heart that this boy really surprised him enough.
But even then, he didn't want to risk taking a boy.
In his heart, there are some things that can be done, but some bottom lines must be adhered to.
Let a ten-year-old child follow him on an adventure, and he can't be such a jerk.
"Your eloquence moved me, here is 2000 yuan, you take it back first! Two hours later, we will meet at the pier, don't try to escape, or I will catch you."
As he spoke, he shook his fist and threatened viciously.
"Don't worry!"
After receiving the money, the boy quickly hugged it into his arms, turned around and rushed back.
Seeing the boy walking away, Ding Xiaoyi turned around and prepared to leave.
"But master, I'm afraid it's really what he said. It's really hard to find this season." Wang Caixin couldn't help but worry.
At this time, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly stopped and looked at the alley beside him.
When I saw a few pirates in the alley surrounding a woman in a corner, trying to do something.
Ding Xiaoyi narrowed his eyes gradually, and said with a sneer, "Who said that, look, isn't this just delivered to your door?" 11
Chapter 231: Agree if you don't say anything [Yesterday's debt repayment plus 3/5]
On the deck of the Cow and the Bell.
Heath was holding a newspaper in his hand, bathed in the winter sun, drinking rum in one hand, and glanced at the newspaper.
It had been a long time since he had been captain of the Cow and the Bell.
Especially after returning from this voyage, the things they found brought them a lot of gains.
The crew on the ship gave them a vacation. After all, it took five months to go to sea this time.
These men are afraid that even if they see a sow, they can see a flower.
Letting them out for a good indulgence is also a good option.
Otherwise, Heath is really worried that one day these hungry guys will start to stretch their hands on their companions.
