Although this improvised plan failed, our determination to leave this cell has been finalized.
I just heard what those two men said, saying that they would die after Ruan Zhou helped him finish digging out the latrine.
I will definitely not ignore death. Although this boy ruined our escape plan, I still admire his indomitable spirit.
At this time, Chen Guishou walked to the cell door, looked down at the unusually strong door lock, and said, "I have lived for so many years and know a lot, but this unlocking thing really stumps me."
Chen Guishou deliberately wanted to escape, but it was obvious that he had no ability to unlock the door.
As for me, let alone that. If I could open the lock, I would have opened it long ago when I was locked up in this cell. How could I wait until now?
Using violence to open the lock is not feasible. First of all, the door lock is very strong and heavy. Even if I have a thousand strength, it will be of no avail, unless I have someone who can take advantage of me, maybe I can give it a try.
It turned out that there was no hard object in the cell that could be used to pick the lock, which inevitably made me frustrated again.
The first sister seemed to no longer care about the handprints. She frowned and looked outside the cell in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
"well……!"
Chen Guishou, myself, and the first sister all sighed almost at the same time, feeling that the whole world had become depressing.
"Hey, let me tell you, why are you staring at that door lock? Are you trying to get out?"
When I heard what Fatty Wu said, it was obvious that it was just nonsense. At that time, I felt unhappy and glared at Fatty Wu and said, "Nonsense, do you want to stay here forever?"
After hearing what I said, Fatty Wu said "Oh" and walked towards the cell door. I don't know how he managed it. After half a minute of not using it, the cell door lock actually clicked open!
I was stunned at that time. The door lock that had troubled me for so long was actually opened easily by Fatty Wu. This was incredible.
I knew Fatty Wu. Apart from being lustful and having some skills, he was just a loser. I never thought that he could open locks. I was really shocked.
So I quickly asked Fatty Wu how he knew how to pick locks, and why I had never heard him say that he knew how to pick locks after knowing him for so many years.
Fatty Wu said with a mysterious face that this unlocking skill was passed down from his ancestors of the Wu family and could not be revealed to others unless absolutely necessary, saying that it was a life-saving skill.
And the reason why he took action now was because a few of us seemed to be planning to go out. Besides, there were no outsiders present, so he took action and unlocked the cell door.
It stands to reason that Fatty Wu has put in so much effort, and I should thank him properly, but at the moment, why do I want to kick him so hard?
But I didn't do that. I planned to save it first and wait until I returned to Tongcheng before I could repay him properly.
After leaving the cell door, we started looking for Ruan Zhou.
The internal environment of this ship is very unfamiliar to us. Although it looks similar to the salvage ship owned by the first sister before, it inevitably made us take a lot of mistakes.
Strangely enough, I didn't see a single figure along the way, not even the two men. If my guess was correct, they should have all gone to the deck.
Thinking of this, I decided to go directly to the deck. Although I would inevitably have to fight with the pirates on the ship, at least I had a greater chance of escaping on the deck.
That guy Ruan Zhou must have been brought up as well, so I found an opportunity to rescue him together, and then escaped together.
After making up our mind, the four of us cautiously went on the deck. As soon as we got on the deck, we heard a sound of talking. Looking around, we saw a dozen men gathered on the front deck. We didn't know what they were doing. What.
There were a lot of people on the front deck, and I couldn't find Ruan Zhou among them for a while, so I planned to get closer and have a closer look, and listen to what the pirates were talking about.
Originally, I planned to go and inquire about it alone, or I was worried that I would be taking risks alone, and I was also worried that the other party might have a weapon as powerful as a gun, so Chen Guishou followed me towards the front deck. He leaned over, leaving Fatty Wu and Sister Yi to act according to the situation.
The weather at sea is changing rapidly. Although it is daytime at the moment, there are dark clouds and rolling waves. It seems that there is a layer of thick fog on the sea, making it difficult to distinguish the direction.
A dozen people gathered around the front deck, including men with beards and chest hair, as well as a dozen other men of the same build.
Among these men was a thin guy with fair skin. I recognized him at a glance as Ruan Zhou.
When I saw Ruan Zhou, I felt that there was no need for me to hide anymore. Moreover, I also saw that those people were basically holding either sticks or axes. Chen Guishou and I wanted to deal with them based on our abilities. According to them, it shouldn't be difficult.
But as soon as I was about to rush out from behind the hiding object, I was pulled back by Chen Guishou, who very cautiously whispered to me: "Don't be so reckless, check the situation first." Besides, what do you think that is?"
Before, I had focused all my attention on those dozen islands and Ruanzhou. As for other things, I didn't care at all.
Now that Chen Guishou reminded me, I looked up again and saw a wooden coffin full of marine life placed in front of those dozen people.
The wooden coffin was very large, and some very weird lines and geometric shapes could be vaguely seen on it.
Just by looking at it, I suddenly felt that this wooden coffin looked so familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before, but I couldn't remember it for a while.
So I decided to do what Chen Guishou said and wait until I see the situation.
"Boss, this is the coffin we just salvaged from the sea. It looks like it's quite old. There shouldn't be any valuable funerary objects inside, right?"
The person who said this was a bald man, and he said it in the direction of the crowd. This made me eager to see what kind of person that leader was.
"Well, it looks like it's been a few years. Don't say I don't take care of you. I'm happy today. I got a baby, so no matter what good things are in this wooden coffin, they all belong to you!"
It seemed that the pirate leader had spoken, but the voice sounded so familiar to me.
If you look closely, you will see that it is actually the frail scholar Ruan Zhou who seems to be powerless!
At this time, Ruan Zhou had a gloomy face, full of evil energy, and looked like the leader of all evil. This made it difficult for me to confuse him with the former leaflet distributor and Ruan Zhou who worked as a waiter on the ship.
At that moment, I finally knew what it meant to know people but not their hearts, and what it felt like to be deceived by a friend.
But I still can't figure out why Ruan Zhou tried so hard to deceive me. Is it just to take a bite of Yijie's tofu?
Obviously not, because when I met Ruan Zhou, I didn’t even know who the first sister was.
Just when I was wondering why Ruan Zhou deceived me, Ruan Zhou took something out of his pocket.
It was a small ball about the size of a fingernail. It was emitting a dazzling golden light. It looked so dazzling and yet so familiar!
Why do you want the elixir of immortality that Xu Fu personally handed over to Chen Guishou on the fairy island?
It was impossible for Chen Guishou to not see such a dazzling golden light. When he saw the small ball emitting golden light in Ruan Zhou's hand, I found that Chen Guishou's entire face turned pale. stand up.
Then Chen Guishou brought the small box in his arms to me with a gloomy expression and opened it. After opening it, I found that it was empty.
Then Chen Guishou said to me in a depressed tone as if his own mother had died: "I knew something would happen to me when I went back, so I kept an eye on it, took out the elixir, and put it on my clothes. There was only such an empty box left in the mezzanine, but I didn’t expect it to be...what a miscalculation..."
