Chapter 53: Hug me tight if you’re afraid
“Are you going back on your word and plan to hire me?”
Xu Shanshan asked him slowly with a smile on his lips.
Wei Canghao actually didn’t think about it well.
When he went there, he thought that any dangerous situation he encountered would be manageable.
But now he was alone and returned by chance. It seemed that he had everything he needed, but in fact he suffered heavy losses. Although he tried his best to suppress his emotions, only he knew the undercurrent of the scream beneath the calmness.
The moment before boarding the deck, he didn't even think of Xu Shanshan, but when he came back, he saw her standing on the bow of the ship, with the pale moonlight shining around her, as if she had an illusion that was separated from the world. feel.
At that moment, he actually felt the same sense of being stripped of reality in her body as he did in the ship hijacked by Liao Wenchang, which was just as bizarre, illusory and dangerous.
That’s why he opened his mouth and said that sentence.
“Can you really deal with those evil masters?”
But just after he finished speaking, the cool breeze blew, and he became a little more rational. He knew exactly how unreliable "Xu Shanshan" was. If he really placed his hope on her, I'm afraid the situation would only get worse.
Wei Canghao warned her: "You are seeking money from me. As long as you have the ability, I will give you any amount. But I must remind you that if what you tell are lies, you will pay a heavy price in the end." It will be you."
"Master Wei, don't worry about me. Your trip seems to have been very unsuccessful. You lost your troops and you seem to have brought back something dirty on your left shoulder? "
She smiled and concentrated, but did not come forward. She just said to him: "Come here, let me take a look for you."
When Wei Canghao heard her mention "dirty things". , subconsciously looking at his left shoulder, he felt that that spot was extremely heavy. Not only that, a cold air penetrated from the skin layer by layer into the bones, making it itchy and painful.
She actually saw through the clues at a glance.
Wei Canghao's breathing was out of order for a moment. He pulled off his cloak. He had a broad and tall upper body, long shoulders and narrow waist, and a pair of long legs and walked towards her. Half an arm's distance away, he stood After he settled down, he looked down at her face.
Xu Shanshan's body is not short, but in front of Wei Canghao, he is made very petite and exquisite.
She reached out to touch his shoulder. Wei Canghao subconsciously frowned, but in order to find out what was going on, he endured and remained frozen.
Her fingers were soft, like boneless feathers gently brushing against his skin through the thin wet leather.
The biting coldness in that area seemed to be taken away as her fingers slid away, and the cold air seemed to be sucked away, gradually returning to normal temperature.
His expression suddenly changed, and he stared at her with hawk-like eyes.
"Just now, I was bitten on the shoulder by a...ghost's head, but there was no blood or injury. Do you recognize this thing?"
"That's called Yin Sha, which means a living person. The ghost soul is refined, and although the person whose ghost soul is taken away is still alive, the person is as dumb as a wooden sculpture, ignorant and insensitive. If it hurts people, it will leave the evil spirit on the person. "
"Can evil spirit kill people?"
"Natural can kill people, and die without leaving any trace, just like a sudden death."
Thinking of the unconscious sailors on the ship who were like wandering ghosts, and the ship owner who followed him and became in the same state. The mate and others, Wei Canghao's eyes darkened: "Is there a way to solve it? Can those who have been refined into evil beings be saved?"
Xu Shanshan did not answer, but asked again slowly. He: "Are you going to hire me to help you resolve your misfortune?"
This time Wei Canghao looked directly back at her, no longer hesitating: "Yes, you can accept whatever conditions you have, as long as you If you can rescue them, we will give you as much silver as you want.”
“It’s too cliché to talk about money. I’ll do something for you, and you’ll do something for me afterwards, so everything is settled. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Don't worry, I'll let you finish dealing with those evil masters first. We can wait, but your people may not be able to hold on."
As soon as he heard this, Wei Canghao's expression suddenly became serious: "Okay!"
Wei Canghao said "offended", then hugged Xu Shanshan's waist and carried him between his arms. , she was forced to raise her neck and press it against his hot and strong chest. She was slightly startled: "...What are you doing?"
"I will take you there immediately."
How to bring it?
As soon as this question flashed through her mind, Wei Canghao gave her the correct answer in the next second. "If you're afraid...just hold me tight!"
Without any delay, he jumped off the side of the ship with her.
Plop——
Under the bottomless black water, a string of grunts emerged...
Maomao didn't dare to go into the water. It fluttered excitedly on the sea and Guawa shouted: Damn that big bastard, he actually killed his extremely noble family. The mountains are thrown into the water, fools, bastards, idiots, I am so angry with it——
——
Pfft——
A mouthful of bitter and astringent sea water is It spurted out, and Xu Shanshan took a big breath.
Her image at this time was not very good. Her hair was as wet as seaweed and stuck to her body. The dry clothes she had just changed into were soaked again. The usual smile on her face was gone, and her dark eyes were strangely scary. human.
To say that she knows everything, she only knows nothing about water. In the past, she lived on the top of a high mountain, so why did she need to be able to dive into the water...
Wei Canghao saw She had been silent since she got on the deck. For some reason, she had a feeling of "impending disaster". He also realized that he might have scared her, so he said: "It's too slow to take a boat. It will be faster if I take you into the water..."
After he finished explaining, he paused and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I will customize some more gorgeous and expensive clothes and jewelry for you later to make amends."
In the past, "Xu Shanshan" "She always likes to dress in all kinds of beautiful things. He thinks that she also has this hobby now as an apology. .
Xu Shanshan didn't answer his words. She shook the dripping water from her hair and said, "Did you hear any sound?"
Wei Canghao listened carefully and concentrated slightly: "It seems like someone is singing?" "
Seeing that he was unmoved, Xu Shanshan glanced at the jade ring on his hand and understood.
With it protecting him, no wonder the "demon music" around the ship failed to take away his sanity.
“Then take a look at the shore.”
Wei Canghao followed her intention and saw that the ship was surrounded by thick fog. It was impossible to see anything clearly even in the daytime, let alone at night.
Xu Shanshan took out a yellow talisman and lit it, and it flashed past his eyes. He immediately found that the "haze" dissipated, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
Yes, there is moonlight tonight, and the clear waves on the sea should look like this.
He saw a lot of people wading in from the beach, as if being summoned by something, and they were all excited and excited, and they were rushing forward. The water was almost up to their necks, and they still didn’t know. Danger.
Reminiscent of the questions and reminders Xu Shanshan asked just now, Wei Canghao immediately realized: "Is there something wrong with the singing?"
He looked around, but didn't see anyone humming. The voice was very moving, like gurgling water, singing softly, uniquely charming and poignant, as if there were many beauties smiling coquettishly by the coast...
Seeing that he seemed to be moving, Xu Shanshan asked: "Do you want to save them?"
He did not answer, but acquiesced: "What should we do?"
"Is it necessary to save them? ?”
“Demon music” is like poison to those men who are not strong-minded. It will make them feel paralyzed and willing to die.
The people on this island are all a group of evil people. Most of them are unrepentant and full of sins. They are finally sent here to survive and die.
Isn't it better to die unconsciously and painlessly than to serve a sentence on the island for the rest of your life?
Wei Canghao said categorically: "You can die under the law, you can die while serving your sentence, but you should not die in someone else's conspiracy."
Xu Shanshan said lightly when he heard this. The smile deepened a bit.
A person with principles is a person with a bottom line. In this way, it meets the first requirement for the overlord of Longdong in her mind.
"Wei Canghao, save these people... that is another reward. Are you willing to pay for them?"
