Chapter 6: For Her
The storm was raging. The ship sail in this raging waves and several times they almost overturned by the waves. Fortunately the pirates tied the rope tightly to the crew so they are secured and did not roll from the deck and fall intoo the sea .
They keep trail behind the big ships. The pirates navigate skills seems really good. Although the environment is very dangerous, they manage to slowly escape from the center of the storm.
After sailed more than two hours, the rain no longer heavy. The cloud already scattered away but the air still have high humidity. Su Su move her stiff neck and look around but only can hear the sound of the water. she cannot see anything as the fog is very thick. Even the huge black ships in front of them, only a vague of shadow can be seen.
Su Su quietly looked to the direction of the cabin and found it empty without any shadow of people in it. They are surrounded by the fog, if she want to escape, this can be their chance, but...... From her experience, they have sail continuously for 2 hours, It might be their death if they escape in this situation, so she decided to forget it.
If she did not guess wrong, they should have entered this pirates territory. These fog, maybe its their nest protection color. Su Su concentrated in her effort to try identify the direction of the vessel. When the boat enters the mist, it takes about one stick of incense to the east, and turned to the north and sail for another half an hour. After that, the fog finally slowly dispersed.
The ship stopped on a shoal. The four men who were hiding in the cabin immediately came out. They grabbed the rope and pulled them out of the fishing ship.Most of the crew has looked sluggish but there are several who still bold enough to look around. Su Su also took the opportunity to sweep a look on the surrounding environment.
The ship docked at a very big port. The beach also very big and along the shoreline, you can see 5 to 6 black ships docking there. their size is similar with the two ships that they have encounter. But it cannot be sure because the ships was a bit far away to figure their actual size and whether its also consist a fort in it. From the two black ships, there also people who come out. Just to mention the pirate who arm with the sword, there are no less than thirty people. Su Su secretly glad that before, they did not act rashly. The last batch of people who come out from that ship looks like a prisoner. They also have a strong and long rope which lead down by the pirate. They wear a gorgeous dress and looks like in a middle of business trip. Most people are injured, compared to them, they looks in a worse condition than the fishermen. They must put a fierce resistance to the pirates.
Su Su has been looking at the large group of people and finally saw Qin Qia. She still on the beard man shoulder. her dress is still neat and theres no scar on her body. This mean that she still find and nothing has happen to her. Su Su continue to look around and puzzle when she cannot spot the silver gun man. She cannot figure out this man.
These two "string" people were led all the way to the depths of the island. The further they go inside, Su Su become more surprised as its look just like approaching a small village. Su Su not dare too blatantly look around. But with her skills of observation, its enough for her to write down the pirate basic garrison situation. Along the way, she saw three high-profile lookout with four people standing on a high platform for each lookout. There are two telegraphic horns on the high platform, and there is no visible patrol guard around it.
By looking at the direction of their journey, it looks like they are heading toward a cave. The cave hole is not large. There are seven or eight people keep watch there and when they see the beard man, that few people immediately stand.
嘻嘻呵呵地打着招呼。 (some word to greet the beard man)
And then they continue to go inside the cave. Su Su Su Su found that the cave is natural which is amazing with a spacious space at the center of it. There are fire burning which make the cave turns bright and they ca also hear the voice coming from inside with a smell of wine and barbecue. This make Su Su appetite to rose and her stomach grumble from hunger.
People in the cave are quite rough and loud. A dozen people sitting around a group keep drinking and eat the meat. They looks brazen but it can be considered as sort of joy and carefree. Su Su slightly calculate in her mind. This cave has no less than two hundred people, what about on the outside of the cave. Theres absolutely not only a few high-platform pirates. Then how large is the number of pirate in this nest? Its beyond her imagination.
The beard man with Qin Qian on his shoulder walk toward the most central position and throw her to the the ground. Facing the group of people, he slightly bowed, "Masters, this is today's great harvest!"
The man that he greet is already fifty years old. He have square face and a pair of eyes like a tiger. Right now, he is in good spirit as he listen to the beard man happily, even said a few "good". There are a few people sitting at his side. On his right there are three men, two of them have a quite robust build and makes the last one look smaller. At his left there are also three people, Su Su have seen two out of three man. First is the silver gun man and the silver robe man while for the last one, he also have attracted Su Su eyes.
In a group of rugged men, theres a purple figure who unusually conspicuous which is a graceful young woman. She wore a purple dress, her black hair hanging behind her until it reach her knees while her hand held a porcelain white cup. She take a light sip of the wine. Her mouth slightly hooked. Her gestures revealed her temperament and upbringing which does not lose to the capital imperious princess. Su Su feel stunned. In this pirate nest, how can there be such a woman?
This pirate nest, really caused her to be curios.
Apart from the open space in the middle of the cave, there are also a lot of holes beside it. In addition to the middle of the cave in the middle of the open space, next to a lot of holes that can be access by people. Now they seem to be led into the right side of the hole.
Is there still other person who has been captured? Perhaps for this point, she can inquire information from those people. The identity of the merchant also can be identify by taking this opportunity to inquire about it. Su Su retract her gaze from the purple woman's eyes and speed up the pace to keep up with people in front.
"Master, I want to ask someone from you. "
Su Su slowed down her footsteps when she heard the faint voice. She looked back and see that its really coming from the silver robe man.
"Oh?" the man who in the middle of taking the sip paused, then laughed: "Who do you want? you can say it!
"I ask for him."
Who? Su Su also become curios and was going to look at that "person", but found that silver robe indifferent gaze has fixed on her.
So, the "he" that he said ... is her?
Su Su feel dumbfounded. What's happening here……
