Chapter 32 Cat Island
I have been floating on the sea for a long time and stepping on solid land makes me uncomfortable.
Everyone's situation is similar. The pace of walking on the shore of Shanghai was trembling like drunkenness. Especially Brother Mouse was the most exaggerated. He overcame the severe seasickness by fighting with his life. He walked the earliest and the slowest. At this moment, he was spinning straight at the end of the team, and his feet fell into the water several times!
When my feet finally got out of the sea water that was still warm during the day, I lay on the white beach where the moonlight reflected on Jinqing Island, and felt dizzy, and the moon was about to be broken.
Once you go to the island, although it is also unfamiliar, it is much more at ease for us all inland people. At least we can run and jump here, and when we encounter danger, we can still pull out our swords and raise our guns to resist for a while. We don’t have to drift in the South China Sea anymore and worry about the so-called “no evidence of death”, right?
“Meow~”
Before I could breathe a few breaths, my ears moved. Are you hallucinating? I actually heard a cat's cry?!
“Meow~”
Brother Mouse, who had the best hearing, also sat up, but he was really unable to move. He pointed to a small bush and reminded us of the location of the cat's meow.
Dr. Lin walked towards that direction, the bushes rustled, and the cat confronted him several times. Finally, Dr. Lin successfully brought out a small cat that was only one or two months old from it!
"How can there be cats on the islands in the South China Sea?"
Master Dong looked around vigilantly. In the quiet night, everyone suddenly heard a cat that was far away but very clear and completely different. This was the sound of an adult wild cat. Listening to the direction, the cat had urged Bai Shuyang to go to Bai Shuyang's ghost ship at some point!
"Don't be surprised, there are still many wild cats on Jinqing Island."
Dr. Lin held a little trembling kitten in his arms, and his expression that had always been iceberg seemed much gentler: "Originally, there were mice smuggled over with boats on the island, so the fishermen brought a few cats to the island to catch mice. Unexpectedly, the environment here was too comfortable, and the cats didn't go to work at all, but reproduction and thriving here, and evolved into wild cats that specialize in seafood."
I reached out to touch the adorable light brown kitten. It stuck out its tongue and licked it so that my heart was about to melt. Master Dong asked strangely: "Doctor Lin, you should be the first time you are here in Nanhai. How could you know so much?"
"My Yun told me." He gently put the cat in my hand and took out a bottle of water from his bag. "I called him on the boat."
I thought to myself that he borrowed the little prince's cell phone, not saying he was reporting safety to his parents, but asking new friends for directions... This is quite good. If there are too many friends, the road is easy to walk on, so he is quite prescient!
The kitten seemed to have not eaten or drunk for a long time. As soon as it approached Dr. Lin's small bottle cap filled with water, it licked wildly.
More and more wild cats were screaming from the direction of the ghost ship. It seemed that there were lights on the ship, but they didn't dare to get close. There was no electricity and no one at this moment. If Bai Shuyang's ship was abandoned like this, it would become the territory of the wild cats!
I remembered that there was also the leg meat that had just been thawed on the boat. In addition to daily seafood and mice, do these wild cats have another meat dish?
Suddenly, another wild cat jumped out of the bushes on the other side. It was much stronger than an ordinary domestic cat. It showed its fangs and claws unfriendly to us. After looking at us for two seconds, unexpectedly quickly picked up the bag that Brother Rat had thrown on one side and ran away!
"**! I dare to steal and rob in front of me!" The mouse cursed, swept away his exhausted state, got up like chicken blood and rushed out of the bush!
There are very few wild cats here, they are aggressive! We quickly carried their own packages and prepared to change to a place that could avoid the harassment of wild cats. The sharp claws of the big cat just now could easily catch our flesh...
"So this little poor man's mother is dead."
Brother Mouse gasped and walked out of the bushes. In addition to the bag he took back from the wild cat's mouth, he also carried a heavy thing. He threw it to us, and sat on the ground to sweat so tired that I shivered when I looked at it-
A big cat's corpse was covered with dried blood on its fur!
"Oh my god, this is a female cat, the kitten's mother? Why did it be shot to death?"
This time, there was no need for Dr. Lin to take a look at it. Master Dong squatted over and glanced at it and saw a gun hole in the blood clot: "There are no maggots, the kitten has not starved to death, so this female cat has not died for a few days, who gave it a shot here... My god, gun? Could it be!"
Needless to say, Mr. Dong also knows what he meant, he must have walked here by some people who left the ghost ship, and then one night a few days ago, he encountered a threat from a wild cat like us at this moment. They had a gun in their hands, and then he suffered a life without mercy.
There are few traces of Jinqing Island. Who is this person with a gun in hand?
Qiu Shan and Bai Shuyang seemed to be heading for the Dragon Cave. I've seen the sailing chart of the boat doctor's uncle. The Dragon Cave is on the fish tail of Jinqing Island, and it is a suitable head for docking. If you want to go to Long Cave, you must go to the island to experience our journey. But apart from that, I don't know how Dongdong, a little yellow bird, got on the boat. What kind of forces do the strangers we saw in the surveillance video belong to? Since there are Vietnamese people among them, based on your feelings, Xiao Curly always says that Bai Shuyang is a persistent woman. She has such a deep relationship with her husband. Bai Shuyang shouldn't cooperate with the Vietnamese, so there should be two groups of people on the ghost ship?
The little prince grabbed the shiny scalp under the moonlight and shook his head and said, but the surveillance video was taken while the ship was moving. In other words, when the ghost ship had not stopped on the shore of Jinqing Island, Dongdong and the others were all there. If Captain Bai was not on the ship at that moment, how did the ship start?
My heart skipped a beat and I thought of a very bad possibility:
Bai Shuyang and Qiu Shan are together, and they are the captains who look down on the South China Sea. However, Dong Ye said that Dong Dong's performance in surveillance is obviously a commander, which means that the ship is actually in the hands of Dong Dong and the others. Could it be that Captain Bai was controlled by the Yellow Bird's people?
In any case, we have gained something through this dead female cat. Since we have embarked on the same path, if we continue to move forward, we will definitely find other clues left by them. In this way, we can always infer the story that happened around the typhoon night!
More and more wild cats rushed out of the bushes and rushed towards the novel ghost ship. I couldn't stand the wild cat's cunning screams, so I quickly urged everyone to stay away from the beach and find a place to rest.
Dr. Lin, who made new friends in the South China Sea, became our guide. He led us around the bushes and walked up to a small slope with a higher terrain. Under the moonlight, you can see several triangle-shaped black shadows on the ground. It seems that... it has been built, but has not opened the tent shelf for use?
"Jinqing Island is rich in red-mouthed snails. There will be fishermen avoiding the typhoon season. They live here for one or two months of the year to make money by picking red-mouthed snails." Dr. Lin looked around, "The rise and fall of the tide in the South China Sea is difficult to control. It is safer to have a place with high terrain. Now is not the time when red-mouthed snails are flooded. We can stay in these tents for one night."
I walked uphill platform and looked at the tents. Two brackets were inserted directly into the island body, and they could not be blown away even by a typhoon. It seemed to be a safe place that could withstand the test of fishermen.
When I opened the bracket, the canvas on the tent was so broken that it could not be closed on both sides. Although it was so simple that it could not be simple, when everyone saw such a ready-made resting place, just like a person who had not closed his eyes for a few days saw a comfortable bed. Who could care about what was so particular, so I quickly chose a few useful tents, stuffed my bags inside, and couldn't wait to lie on the ground.
The fishermen who came here to catch red-mouthed snails all used single tents, and the space inside was very small, so the two of them couldn't turn over when they fell asleep. The screams of wild cats were still echoing on the island one after another. For safety reasons, Mr. Dong slept in the tent near the outside. Dr. Lin and I squeezed in and were assigned to the highest point.
Although everyone in the team is intimate, it is really embarrassing to get so close to Dr. Lin. However, as soon as I lay down, my eyelids were so sleepy that I couldn't open it. I was very thick-skinned and fantasized that if the little curly hair had not left Bai Shuyang's ship, then after Chao Wendao returned to the team, I could squeeze with him and have a beautiful sleep on such a moonlit night, right?
"Fortunately there is a moon tonight, so we just need to be careful of the wild cats. Then no need to worry about going ashore if you are a *** water ghost."
"Your Majesty, please sleep for a while. I can still hold on for a night. Look at the kitten that is about to fall asleep on your bald head, don't make a noise."
I was a little moved when I heard my teammates sleeping outside chatting about something. They had never let me do such a guard stay up late.
"Master Dong, leave me a gun, you can rest for a while, a few kittens, you dare not bully me. I will not be missing any bags for us!"
"Take it down, your kid, the wild cat is causing trouble for you, who calls you a 'mouse'... Seasickness is already so exhausted, right? Let's give you a blanket, we have to rely on you to clear the way for a while!"
I felt relieved when I lay in the tent, and my back was a little uncomfortable. Dr. Lin didn't seem to sleep, he was staring at me.
"Doctor Lin, go to bed, good night." I waved my hand at him without looking back.
He did not respond to me, his eyes turned elsewhere, as if he fell asleep faster than me. After a while, I couldn't tell whether he was in a dream or awake. I heard him say something in my ear in a very small voice:
Chapter completed!
