Looking at the captain who suddenly ran away, Wu Chen didn't know what to say for a moment - he didn't understand what kind of taboo he had touched, which made the captain so angry.
Normally speaking, I didn't mention the shipwreck, and I didn't say anything unlucky. Why did Zhang Dazhou show his arrogance? Is there something wrong with the old man?
In desperation, Wu Chen returned to the deck and sat quietly looking at the endless sea, thinking about the old man on the East China Sea.
What is he like? Where is it?
At this time, a drunkard with a wine bottle came to Wu Chen and said with a smile, "brother, I heard you ask the captain just now. Do you want to find the old man in Donghai? Don't look for it any more. I'll tell you, that old man is a devil who only has morality. "
"How do you say that?" Wu Chen was puzzled and asked, "I just saw the captain's reaction and felt very strange, because I didn't think there was anything wrong with my own words. Why did he suddenly change his face? I guess there must be something I don't know about it. Please make it clear
Who knows, the drunkard stepped back for a moment, looked at Wu Chen with his eyes, and said with a smile: "brother, you look like a practitioner! Practitioners should not be short of money. If you satisfy me in the aspect of wine money, I may tell you. "
It turns out that after talking about it for a long time, I just want to get some money from myself. Wu Chen secretly thought, this guy is really insatiable! But it's no wonder that no one is willing to share the news with you for nothing.
For Wu Chen now, as long as he can find the old man, it means he can find the blue water palace. If his information is reliable enough, Wu Chen would be happy to give him more gold coins.
"Well, sir, you must tell me."
With that, Wu Chen took out a bag of heavy gold coins from his ring and handed it to the drunkard.
"There are about 1000 gold coins in it, which should be enough for you to use for a period of time. If your information is reliable enough, sir, I will give you some more."
This drunkard has never seen so many gold coins. You know, 1000 gold coins can be regarded as the income of a wealthy family for half a year!
A thousand gold coins is not a small sum for a poor man like him who can only resell things at sea every day.
All of a sudden, he woke up half of the wine, and his mouth became very clear. The drunkard opened his eyes, sat up straight, and said to Wu Chen, "brother, I'll tell you that! This old man is not alone at all. Many of us have seen him wandering in the East China Sea all day long. No one knows when he will appear. But once I remember it very clearly... "
Speaking of this, he subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then grabbed his own bottle, drank it, as if to embolden himself.
The drunkard's voice was low, for fear that the people next to him would hear: "I tell you, I saw that old man with my own eyes once, and I passed him by the boat next to the boat! That's not a person at all. I remember very well that I didn't drink that day. I saw the old man. There was no body in his clothes. "
"In other words, he is a floating head, and there are all kinds of holes under his boat, and the water has overflowed into the cabin. However, in that case, the ship is still adrift on the sea. How can people not be afraid of it? "
After listening to the drunkard's words, Wu Chen could not help sweating.
If the drunkard is telling the truth, according to his description, the old man should be a dead soul.
In principle, it is impossible for the dead to be seen. Then why people on the East China Sea can see this old man wandering on the sea? It doesn't make sense.
"Don't think about it. If you really want to find the old man, I think you'll probably find the same as what I saw."
Maybe because of Wu Chen's generosity, the drunkard also reminded: "but if you really want to find him, you can go to a tavern on the other side of Donghai port. The boss there is said to have a deep relationship with the old man. Although he didn't say it himself, we can infer it from his usual speech
Wu Chen nodded thoughtfully, since all the clues pointed to the old man, then he should use these clues to find. No matter whether he is undead or anything, as long as he can take himself to the blue water palace, he can cure Ying'er's disease.
For Ying'er, he doesn't care if he makes more sacrifices and meets all kinds of dangers!
After knowing the news, Wu Chen repeatedly said thanks to the drunkard. He took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to the drunkard again. He said to him, "brother, thank you very much for this
"It's nothing. I just see you thinking hard here. It's for the sake of the old man that I told you. Also, I remind you, at sea, for any boatman, don't talk about this old man. "
"There is an unwritten rule in our East China Sea. When you get on the boat, don't say anything bad or cursed. If it is said, the light ones will be driven off the ship, and the serious ones may be killed by the boatman. "
Wu Chen nodded, and then he understood what was going on - Zhang's attitude was actually good. Because there is a terrible legend about the old man on the sea, and there are some supernatural events in it, so we can't talk nonsense on the ship, and we have bad luck.
If you ask me further, maybe Zhang dafuang will drive him off the boat just now.
The drunkard stayed here for a while, then turned around and ran to other places. He should have gone to the boatman to buy wine. Wu Chen didn't care much, but quietly thought about the future.
Everything is uncertain. If he goes to the East China Sea, he finds that what he imagines is not the same as the reality at all. It's uncertain whether he will collapse or not.
However, at this time, Ying'er suddenly appeared beside him and handed Wu Chen a piece of dry food.
"Wu Chen, come and have something to eat! I saw you sitting here just now as if you were thinking about something and didn't disturb you, but you haven't eaten for a long time. If you go on like this, you will be hungry. "
