Just when I was about to go to sleep, Mr. Mai suddenly asked again, "Zhongyi, do you know about Jiao Ba's matter?"
"Jiao Ba's matter? What is it?" I was stunned. I was stunned, not understanding what Mr. Mai meant.
Mai Lao smiled and said calmly, "It's what Jiao Ba wanted to tell us before. About the jade pendant, I didn't ask in detail because it was urgent at the time. It should be time now, right?" ?”
“Jade pendant? What jade pendant?” Mantou asked in confusion.
Chang Shan explained from the side, "We don't know either. It was Jiao Ba who said it about the jade pendant of the Ming Dynasty Queen."
Mr. Mai, this old guy, has such a good memory. He still remembers this. I almost forgot about it. Now it’s fine. Everyone knows about it. Even if I don’t say it, I can’t do it. But I I was thinking in my mind, should I say it? If I were to speak up, it would prove that I also concealed this matter. But if I didn't speak up, wouldn't I be shooting myself in the foot if there was any evidence?
"Zhongyi, what's wrong with you? You don't look good?" Mr. Mai asked intentionally when he saw that I was silent.
His words immediately made me embarrassed. Did this show that I had a guilty conscience? I quickly adjusted my mentality and pretended to be ignorant and said, "When Jiao Ba wakes up, you still have to deal with this matter." Ask him." I said something in between, neither indicating that I knew nor indicating that I didn't know. Although it was quite offensive, I had to say it.
"So you don't know?" Mr. Mai looked at me with a strange look, which made me feel very nervous.
Just when I was struggling, Jiao Ba suddenly sat up and said, "Okay, Mr. Mai, this matter has nothing to do with my sworn brother. When Jenny's matter is settled tomorrow, I will tell you naturally. ”
It turns out that Jiao Ba didn't sleep either. In fact, I should have thought of it, but seeing his tired look, I thought he would fall asleep soon. I pretended to look at him indifferently, but Jiao Ba didn't look at me, but just looked at me. A hand was tapping my thigh gently. Although I didn't understand what it meant, I felt like he didn't want me to say anything.
Mr. Mai smiled and said, "Okay, let's take care of Jenny's affairs first, and then we can talk about your secrets." He deliberately used the word 'secret' in a very strong sense, and no one would listen. Neither is comfortable.
Jiao Ba was very calm, and his expression did not change at all. It was impossible to tell his state of mind at the moment, "This is not a secret, and I never thought about hiding it from anyone."
"What on earth are you talking about? And what does that jade pendant look like? Can you let me see it?" The big man stretched out his hand and said with a flattering expression.
"Yes, Jiao Ba, why don't you take it out and have a look first? It will also open the eyes of our brothers." Mantou also echoed.
Jiao Ba glanced at the two of them and suddenly burst into laughter. His smile not only confused everyone, but even me was stunned. I was fine just now, but now I am crazy. At first glance, it's not a normal smile, it's too fake.
A few seconds later, Jiao Ba immediately stopped smiling. His face became very serious, but he still didn't say a word. His move was really hard to understand. What did it mean? ?
"Um...brother Jiao Ba, what did you mean by laughing just now?" the big man asked with an embarrassed look on his face.
"It's nothing, just to lighten the atmosphere. You will see the jade pendant sooner or later, so we are not in a hurry. What do you think, Mr. Mai?" Jiao Ba turned to look at Mr. Mai with a strange look in his eyes.
"Yes, there is no rush now. Don't ask any more questions. After finishing Jenny's matter, Jiao Ba will naturally explain it." Mr. Mai still had a smile on his face, but this smile made people I felt panicked when I saw it. It was that sinister and treacherous smile. Although it was only for a moment, I still caught it.
"Go to sleep, I'm tired." After Jiao Ba finished speaking, he lay down directly and ignored the others.
I also quickly said, "I have to go to sleep too. I'm exhausted, so I won't accompany you." I turned over, closed my eyes and got ready to sleep
At night, I was The nightmare is tightly entangled, it is still the ancient woman, the woman who asks for things from me. She always seems to appear in my dreams. What does she want to do, and why is she pestering me so hard? It seems like every time I go to sleep, she appears. What is going on? Is there something wrong with my brain, or is she right next to me?
I opened my eyes hazily, and the entire rest cabin was dark. I could hardly see anything. Only the faint moonlight shone in. I looked at the moonlight in a daze. The moon tonight is a bit dark. , Slowly, the moon actually turned red, the kind of blood red. Then, the moon got closer and closer, as if it had fallen from the sky.
When the bloody moon filled the entire window, the window sill began to seep blood inside. The blood kept flowing like running water, and soon filled the entire rest cabin. I thought Shouting, I wanted to wake the others up, but I couldn’t scream. , I opened my mouth wide and couldn't make a sound. I couldn't even move my body. The blood quickly flooded the top of my head. I couldn't breathe. I felt like I was about to die. Countless ghost faces appeared in the blood. Around me...
I opened my eyes suddenly and took a deep breath. It turned out to be a dream within a dream, but it felt so real. My whole body was soaked with sweat. I was already very tired and wanted to have a good sleep and rest. , but after all this tossing, I feel even more tired. Why do these damn nightmares always haunt me? Since I left the island, I have basically not slept peacefully for a day. Maybe this is caused by the curse. The result is a kind of intense mental torture.
It was very quiet in the rest cabin, the only discordant sound was the snoring of the big man and the steamed bun. The snoring of these two people was almost like thunder, which made my ears hurt. The moonlight was very pale, and it was like in my dream. The moonlight was very similar. I turned over and planned to continue sleeping. Even if I had a nightmare, I had to sleep. I couldn't stand up.
But when I turned around, I used the moonlight to see that the bed opposite me was empty. I immediately became more energetic. At first, I thought it was because I was dazzled, so I quickly turned on the flashlight. I found it, but when I turned on the flashlight, I suddenly felt sleepy. The bed opposite was indeed empty. It was Jiao Ba's bed. Where had he gone in the middle of the night? Does he have any hidden secrets? It seems like there is definitely something going on.
I glanced at my watch. It was already past two o'clock in the morning. He really knows how to choose a time. This time period is when normal people are most tired and also the best time for sleep. Usually there is no big sleep. Generally speaking, people will not be awakened by the sound of noise. Big Man and Steamed Bun are the best examples, but I am an exception.
I got out of bed quietly and walked to Jiao Ba's bed. I reached out and touched the quilt. It was still warm, which proved that he had just left not long ago. I turned around and used my flashlight to look at other beds. It didn't matter. I was shocked again. Chang Shan's bed was also empty. Where had he gone? This is really strange, how come these two people disappeared collectively.
I hurried to the door, opened the cabin door gently, and walked out quietly. The lights in the corridor were on, and there were people on duty at night. After all, we were at sea, so someone had to watch.
I walked along the aisle to the deck. When I was halfway there, I saw Chang Shan and Jiao Ba walking in one after another. I had no time to escape, and There was no need to hide, I stood there and looked at them coldly.
When Jiao Ba saw me, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered. He hurriedly came over and asked, "Brother Yi, why did you come out?"
" I was just going to ask you? Why are you out here so late at night?" I raised my eyebrows and asked, becoming more and more suspicious of Jiao Ba, what kind of medicine is he selling in this gourd?
Before Jiao Ba could say anything, Chang Shan came over. He smiled at me and said, "What? Are you having a nightmare again?"
His words immediately shocked me. How did he know that I had nightmares? Isn't this too weird? Looking at his eyes that seemed to be able to see through me, I felt a chill all over my body, and I almost broke out in a cold sweat, but I tried my best to stay calm and never lose my composure.
"No, I just woke up. Why did Brother Changshan come out in the middle of the night?" I told a lie and asked him again. I suddenly felt a little afraid of Changshan. This person is too evil, isn't he? Compared with ordinary evil sects, Jiao Ba pales into insignificance.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just came out to use the toilet." Chang Shan said this like an imbecile. There is a toilet in our cabin. Do you need to go out to use the toilet?
"Go to the toilet? Isn't there a toilet in the cabin? Why do you have to go outside?" I looked at him and asked in a low voice.
Changshan patted my arm and said, "Let me enjoy the sea breeze by the way. Don't think too much. I'll go back to sleep first." After he finished speaking, he walked directly to the rest cabin.
After Chang Shan returned to the rest cabin, I looked at Jiao Ba and asked sternly, "What kind of plane are you doing? You didn't sleep in the middle of the night. What kind of tricks are you playing with Chang Shan?"
Jiao Ba glanced at me. At one glance, he quickly stretched out his hand and pulled me to the side At the same time, he whispered in my ear, "I followed him out. Do you think I was willing to run out in the middle of the night?"
"Follow him? What do you mean?" I looked at him and asked. , I feel like he said this a bit perfunctorily.
“Listen to what I’m telling you, at around one o’clock in the morning, I found Chang Shan getting out of bed and going out, so I followed him quietly. I thought I would find something, but in the end he actually came out. I went to the bathroom and was enjoying the sea breeze on the deck. I hid near him to see what he was going to do, but guess what?" Jiao Ba suddenly asked a question, and his expression changed. "I don't know what's wrong, so hurry up and tell me." I was a little impatient. It was so late at night that I couldn't sleep well, so I was troubled.
