Chapter 185 Provincial Capital
Yin Xiu let out a breath and took back the two knives from Yuan Tianwang. Finally, she could no longer hold on and sat down on the deck.
Xiao Zhang ran up with a splash, his footsteps making the deck creak.
When he ran over, he first looked at Yuan Tianwang's body on the ground, then looked away expressionlessly, and ran to Yin Xiu's side.
"It's all done, brother. I asked the captain to change the direction as you said before, and now the ship is sailing back."
Yin Xiu glanced at him and then at the looming musket in the other person's arms. She probably knew what he was "begging" for, so he just nodded to express that he understood.
Xiao Zhang then said: "Brother, I just took care of Chen San's men on the lower level. What are you going to do now?"
Yin Xiu frowned when he heard this title: "Why do you call everyone big brother? If I heard you right, you call Chen Sanqian the same way, right?"
"Who do you think I am!"
Xiao Zhang's expression became serious and he said: "Brother, you don't know something. On the road, people like me are generally called marginalized people, but in novels and stage plays, people like us have a very fashionable personality." ", do you know what it is?"
"What, twenty-five boys?"
"A spy is a spy! Or an undercover agent! My boss has always been the only one who can do it, but he saw that I have a bright mind, so he asked me to lurk at Chen San's side in case of emergency."
No wonder Kuan Bao was so efficient in doing things this time. It turned out that he had arranged his eyeliner long ago and used it easily.
After rejecting Xiao Zhang's help, Yin Xiu stood up on her own and moved a few steps on the deck while holding on to the railing.
Although there seemed to be a lot of blood on his body this time, the body was not eroded too deeply by the Dragon and Tiger Qi, so the injuries were not very serious overall.
After a while, Yin Xiu was able to move freely under Xiao Zhang's stunned gaze.
As they came down the stairs, they met the Indian sailor from before.
Xiao Zhang glanced at him coldly and was about to take out his gun, but Yin Xiu stopped him.
Yin Xiu glanced at the stairs again. The money and watch were still lying quietly in their original positions.
Yin Xiu walked over slowly. The sailor didn't know whether he felt he couldn't escape, or his feet were weak. He just stood there with his eyes closed, not daring to speak out.
"Old, man, I didn't see anything. This ship was registered in Panama. The patrol police here have no right to arrest the people you killed on the high seas!"
"I know."
Yin Xiu spoke calmly and stuffed the money and watch back into the sailor's pocket.
"Where are we going next?"
The sailor was stunned for a moment, then said: "The high seas, ah, no, according to this course, the next stop is the provincial capital! Do you need to turn? We can return to Hong Kong Island in only half an hour!"
He opened his eyes unconsciously as he spoke. After seeing Yin Xiu looking at him, he quickly closed his eyes again.
Anyone who sees the face of a murderer will not end well!
Yin Xiu shook his head and said: "We have delayed these tourists for so long. We don't want to waste everyone's time anymore. Let's just go to the provincial capital. I'll just buy a later cruise and come back."
He said this. As a follower, Xiao Zhang would naturally not raise any objections. Moreover, a ship going to Jinmen returned in less than half a day. On the contrary, it was a strange thing that would attract a lot of people's attention.
"Let's go, I haven't left Hong Kong and Kowloon yet!"
Yin Xiu spoke with excitement, completely forgetting that her body was still full of wounds at this moment.
"By the way, what's delicious in the provincial capital?" He looked at Xiao Zhang. "That's a lot!"
"Man, half a plain-cut chicken, a plate of stir-fried beef with kale, a steamed fish, fish ball soup, and a bowl of rice in a sea bowl!"
"Okay girl, who are you?"
"Why, is there anyone else here besides me?"
hiss! What a big appetite!
The waiter took a deep breath and turned around to place the order.
"Brother, that little girl is so skinny, but I didn't expect that she could eat so much. Will she be reincarnated as a starving ghost?"
Xiao Zhang was amazed and skillfully washed the dishes and chopsticks with boiling water.
"What do you care about others?"
Yin Xiu knocked him on the head and said, "If you are really hungry, you can eat better than her."
The provincial capital seemed to have entered the rainy season. It had been raining non-stop since they landed ashore, making the whole city even more sultry and humid.
Therefore, as soon as the girl with her face tightly hidden under the bamboo hat walked into the restaurant and was greeted by a gust of wind and rain, Yin Xiu had already noticed her.
On Hong Kong Island, no matter what occasion women appear in, there is no surprise.
But in inland areas, restaurants are by default the private property of men, so her appearance alone inevitably aroused the curiosity of others, and there were some whispers in the restaurant.
A woman who can enter this place openly, no matter how she dresses, is destined to be a character that is not easy to mess with.
After everyone came to this consensus, the voices became quieter, and the restaurant was once again filled with noisy shouting and laughter.
"Brother, that woman is indeed not simple. Look at her eating without lifting the veil hanging from her bamboo hat, but she is not slow at all when eating.
With one chopstick, there was only a bone left in the chicken leg, and with another chopstick, several spoonfuls of rice were missing. Oops! The way this hungry ghost eats, he must have been hungry for several days. ”
Yin Xiu said impatiently: "It's endless, isn't it? If you are really free, go and order me some soup. I have lost so much blood and it's time to replenish my body."
After he said this, Xiao Zhang could only stand up reluctantly. Then he remembered something and turned around and asked: "Brother, what are you drinking?"
Yin Xiu was stunned for a moment, then said: "Just civet stewed fish whip, hurry up!"
Xiao Zhang nodded and ran to the kitchen in a hurry.
Without this annoying guy, Yin Xiu finally felt peaceful. He twisted his neck, and when he looked over again, he found that the woman sitting there was gone.
Just as he was wondering, a faint fragrance suddenly came from his side, like the fragrance of lilies.
At the same time, a warm, soft hand touched the back of Yin Xiu's hand, clasping his veins intentionally or unintentionally.
Yin Xiu did not look back, but simply said: "Girl, although I am a very open person, but if you want to get to know me, do you want to get my consent first, and then get started?"
"Really? Is it too late for me to ask now?"
The power of holding her pulse increased suddenly. Yin Xiu turned around and saw the woman who was eating there before, sitting next to him.
Under the cloak is a beautiful, young face, with a coldness that is almost dripping, like a delicate knife unsheathed.
