"No - Captain, please let me go, I'm really afraid -"
"Don't scream, shut up. If you let others misunderstand, I'll beat you to death." Although the bearded captain said harshly, he still relaxed his grip a little.
Pulling the thin man who was still whimpering, he pushed open the door.
It was dark outside and it was difficult to see what was going on, but the bearded captain did not react at all. He was obviously used to such an environment.
While walking on the creaking and broken wooden corridor, the bearded captain also told the thin man to close his mouth.
"If you yell again to attract Lenko's attention, nothing will happen."
Perhaps the words of the bearded captain had an effect, as the thin man's voice was indeed softer.
However, the thin man shouted too loudly when he was in the house, which eventually aroused some people's suspicion. The bearded captain had not left for long, and before he even finished walking through the shabby wooden corridor, he saw the gray mist in front of him.
In the middle, a tall silhouette appeared.
Seeing the figure in front of him, the bearded captain secretly cursed, pinched the skinny man's neck hard, and pushed him aside. Then he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
When the bearded captain opened his eyes again, his eyes had changed from a ferocious wolf gaze to an ordinary smooth one, and his temperament directly changed from a reckless man to a simple and honest good man.
"Captain Barrow?" A nice and elegant voice came from the front.
"Yes, Mr. Lenko, haven't you gone to rest yet?" the bearded Captain Barrow said with a smile.
"I just came back from the experimental field. I'm going to record the growth of red radish before I go to rest." The figure in the darkness came out, but it was a tall young man wearing the same linen clothes as Captain Barrow. But he was different from Captain Barrow.
Captain Luo's slovenliness was different. This young man looked clean and elegant, with a straight back. Even on such a gloomy and dark island, the young man's hair was neatly combed.
It is worth mentioning that he wears a slender knight's sword on his waist.
Lenko approached Barrow, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the thin man beside him, with exploration and thought in his eyes.
The thin man stopped talking at this time, his eyes wandered, and he did not dare to look at Lenko.
"I was outside just now and I heard little Birch saying something like 'Don't be afraid'. What happened?" Seeing that the thin man did not dare to look at him, Lenko simply asked directly, but
He couldn't help but look at the thin man's body, especially his waist and buttocks.
On this bleak island, which is basically full of grown men, there are always some people who start to deviate from the bottom line. The thin and small Birch can easily become a target, so Lenko heard Birch cry before.
Howling, he hurriedly searched for it.
Captain Barrow naturally heard the implication of Lenko's words. He couldn't help but glared at Birch fiercely from the corner of his eye. This brat is harming me! Who would fall in love with this guy?
Besides, with Lenko, a powerful and self-righteous man maintaining order, no one would dare to do anything forced in Dock No. 4.
"Nothing, nothing, I just wanted to take Birch to the beach to catch some fish and crabs, but this guy heard others say that there are some fluorescent ghosts on the beach that can devour people, and he was so scared. So he kept making trouble." After Barrow finished speaking,
Kicked Birch.
Birch didn't react at first, but when Barrow winked at him, Birch said "oh oh oh" for a while: "Yes, the captain is right. We just went to the beach to grab some food, yes, that's it."
.”
Barrow looked at Birch's eyes and couldn't help cursing secretly: This guy is as stupid as a manatee, he can't even lie.
Lenko looked at Barrow, then at Birch, and finally said softly: "I don't care where you go, little Birch, tell me, are you doing this voluntarily?"
Birch's eyes rolled. He wanted to say "no", but he also understood Lenko's subtext. Lenko had obviously misunderstood his relationship with Captain Barrow... Lenko didn't even think about it, Captain Barrow really
If you want to misbehave with him, there are so many opportunities, how can you make him yell?
He couldn't smear the captain's reputation at this time.
Moreover, that woman... Birch felt hot all over when he thought of the words used by Little Flea to describe that woman. He actually wanted to take a look. The prerequisite was that the Mandarin and the others did not discover him.
"Mr. Lenko, I think you misunderstood. Captain Barrow really just wanted to take me to catch fish and crabs, and I really volunteered." Birch nodded.
Lenko looked at Birch. He knew that this kid was lying a lot, but when he said "voluntary or not", he was really sincere.
"Since you are voluntary, then you must bear the consequences." Lenko said no more, walked directly to the side, leaned against the wooden wall, and gave way to the road.
The meaning is self-evident, at least in terms of Lenko, they have passed.
Barrow no longer held Birch's collar, nodded slightly to Lenko, then motioned for Birch to follow, and walked into the mist.
During the next stretch of the journey, Barrow stopped talking to Birch and walked quickly.
After walking for more than ten meters, a sudden gust of wind blew, and the wooden boards under my feet began to sway a little, and the sound of rushing water could be heard.
Barrow stood very steadily, while Birch was a little bumpy, leaning on the wooden railing beside him, lowering his head and looking down.
Below is a dark water.
They are in a boat.
The wind rocked the ship, but after the wind stopped, everything returned to silence. Then Barrow continued to say to Birch: "The wind can't stand it, it's nothing like a man on the sea."
Birch replied nervously: "I was not a sea man before. I only went to sea once, and ended up in this damn place."
Barrow patted Birch on the head and said, "You're going to take whatever I say? Shut up."
Birch pursed his lips and said nothing.
Only then did Barrow say with satisfaction: "Hurry up and follow us. Before Lenko can react, let's leave the dock first."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After passing through the long wooden corridor, boarding the deck, and throwing down the rope ladder, it took five minutes for Barrow and Birch to finally get off the ship.
Standing on the ground at the entrance of the dock, Barrow raised his head and looked at the huge but scarred freighter, with a slight emotion in his eyes: "The Moonlight Bird... Oh, is there still a chance to set sail?"
Barrow shook his head and sighed.
What he didn't know was that on the deck at this time, Lenko was leaning in the shadow of the mast, his ears moving gently.
"Sail? I hope so." Lenko lowered his head and muttered: "I don't want to stay on this ghost island forever."
After whispering a few times, Lenko suddenly raised his head and looked into the dark mist.
"Captain Barrow said he wanted to take Birch to the beach? Oh, but he went north along the inner lake. This is not the way to the beach." Lenko frowned slightly: "Did Birch really follow Barrow?
?It’s not like that. Besides, if they really have something fishy to do, what are they doing outside?"
Not only are there ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes outside, but you may also encounter people from other shipyards. Those people have completely fallen into darkness and cannot even be called human beings.
Lenko thought for a moment, hesitated again and again, then picked up the weapon, flashed his figure, jumped off the deck, and finally disappeared into the darkness.
…
This island has no recognized scientific name. It is located in a foggy area. It is covered by fog almost all year round, and the sun cannot shine in. There is really not much difference between day and night. It is eerie and foggy all the time.
However, despite the fog, at least the island is relatively safe.
There is a huge inner lake on the island, which contains the remains of some ancient ships. There are a large number of dilapidated or sunken ships, making it like a ship cemetery.
Therefore, some people call this place Ghost Shipyard Island.
The reason why it is not a ghost ship island is because there are several large-scale shipyards in the inner lake, and most of the shipwrecks are piled up in the shipyards.
The Moonlight Picture Bird is parked at No. 4 dock in Neihu.
Other docks are also occupied by some people. Among them, the Mandarin's Po Xue is located in the No. 1 dock, which is currently the largest and most complete dock in the inner lake.
It can also be seen from this that the Mandarin who can occupy the No. 1 dock must not be underestimated.
At this time, Captain Barrow was taking Birch around the lakeshore to the famous No. 1 Dockyard.
"Lenko, you know, although he won't talk nonsense, if he lets us go, it will also cause some associations in the minds of other people on the ship." As Barrow walked, he said to Birch, who was beside him with a sad expression: "
When I get back, I'll explain it to them when I get the chance, so they don't misunderstand us."
"I don't even think about it, how could I like it..." Barrow stopped mid-sentence.
Birch naturally understood what Barrow meant, and he did not dare to talk back, but he was saying the same thing as Barrow in his heart.
"Oh, Lenko really has an excessive sense of justice. If it weren't for him, we could have discussed with everyone and gone to grab it directly... How could we have gone there so secretly to take a look." Birch couldn't help but muttered.
Barrow stopped, turned around, and pressed Birch's forehead hard with his finger: "Are you complaining about Lenko now? You don't even think about it. If it weren't for Lenko, our Moonlight Bird would have been able to maintain this situation in the past six months.
Good order?"
Although Barrow also hates Lenko, he has to say that with the intimidation of a powerful person like Lenko, not only has there been no major civil strife within the Moonlight Map Bird, but he has also killed many Xiaoxiao in the past six months.
Foreign enemies who want resources on the ship have demonstrated their strength.
Nowadays, on the Ghost Dock Island, Dock No. 4 and Dock No. 1 are almost two parallel forces, and Lenko's power is behind this.
However, although Lenko brought many benefits, it also brought some unnecessary restrictions in Barrow's view.
For example, Lenko still pays attention to rules and morality.
The reason why they did not challenge Boss Man even though they were powerful was that Lenko's moral sense made him unwilling to take the initiative to infringe on others. Of course, if someone invaded, Lenko would not be polite.
The Mandarin also knew some of Lenko's habits, so when he knew that he might not be able to defeat Lenko, he no longer took the initiative to provoke Dockyard No. 4.
This also disappointed Barrow, who was ambitious to occupy the No. 1 Dockyard. After all, without Lenko, they might not be able to defeat the No. 1 Dockyard by themselves.
On this ghost island where you cannot leave and where the deepest darkness of human nature has been completely unearthed, it is really stupid to be moral. At least Barrow thinks so.
And this time, the reason why Barrow was worried that someone would disagree and took Birch to secretly check the situation was because if he told the truth, Lenko would definitely not agree. After all, Lenko would never attack women.
.
This is also the difference in stance between Lenko and Barrow.
Ten years ago, Barrow was still a pirate who roamed the sea. Although he later quit, joined a shipping company and became the captain of the merchant ship Moonlight Bird, he still had the ruthless spirit of a pirate in his heart. Therefore,
, he doesn’t value rules that much.
Lunke was different. Lunke was a knight who accidentally boarded the Moonlight Bird and prepared to go to Fan Continent.
Yes, knight. He himself said that he is a current knight, and his behavior also abides by the knight code, humility, integrity, compassion, bravery, justice... Although Barrow often feels that Lenko is a bit pedantic, but also because of his
Pedantic, everyone on the ship trusted Lenko, including Barrow himself.
Therefore, although Barrow does not like Lenko, but Burch blames Lenko, he will still defend him as soon as possible.
Amidst the rustling conversation, they had arrived at the lake shore near Dock No. 1.
At this point, Barrow became obviously cautious.
Even though the fog and darkness prevent people's vision from seeing too far, this place is too close to Dock No. 1, and any disturbance they make here may attract attention.
Barrow secretly went to the "Pig Pen" to see the beautiful woman this time. He had no intention of starting a war with the Mandarin now, so he had to be careful and not be too reckless.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "We sneaked around the dock and went to their pigsty."
Barrow took Birch and left the lake shore and walked into the forest. He planned to bypass the lake and go directly through the back door of the dock.
As the leader of Dockyard No. 4, Barrow and Lenko once came to Dockyard No. 1 to meet with the Mandarin and discuss the so-called "balance theory."
The conversations and games at that time were basically nonsense, and Barrow has almost forgotten them now. But he clearly remembers the layout of Dock No. 1.
Moreover, with Little Flea secretly helping, Barrow knew the movements of Dock No. 1 very well.
Although walking in the dark forest, Birch was not as scared as before, because he often came here to meet the little fleas and was very familiar with the forest. He even knew where there were snakes and birds.
.
"Should I send out a coded signal to call the little flea out?" Birch asked.
Barrow shook his head: "No, the little flea has already come out to see you today, and running out again within one day may arouse suspicion. After all, his job does not require him to leave the ship every day."
Little Flea is the ship's doctor on the Poxue. However, he did not join the Poxue on his own initiative. He was kidnapped by the Manchus many years ago.
The last time Barrow came to No. 1 Dockyard to negotiate, Birch saw Little Flea, and then he realized that his long-lost friend had been kidnapped by pirates and was now trapped on Ghost Dockyard Island.
It is said that part of the reason why Birch boarded the Moonlight Bird from his hometown of Cidro Island to go to sea was to find little fleas.
Unexpectedly, he found it in the end, but they were all trapped here, and he didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune.
Since seeing the little flea, Birch often used the secret code of their childhood to call out the little flea. At first, they just talked to each other. Later, when Barrow knew about it, he began to slowly develop the little flea into the one they left behind.
The secret whistle on the dock of the ship.
Therefore, they can all know what happened in Dock No. 1 through the little flea.
"I know where the pigsty is, just follow me closely."
Barrow took Birch into the deeper darkness. As soon as Barrow took his first step, Lenko appeared on the spot.
"We actually came to No. 1 Dockyard...and what did they just say, pig pen?"
