Now, Xu Yun and Lin Ge were completely unaware of the whirlpool behind them. Under this seemingly calm sea, huge waves had already begun to spin and were approaching them step by step.
Two days at sea passed very slowly. Xu Yun and Lin Ge still had nothing to show for it. They didn't get any news about Phantom, and of course, they didn't have any news about Martin or Frans Island's prison for serious criminals.
Fortunately, Xu Yun was prepared for a protracted battle. He didn't feel disappointed because of this momentary disappointment. The Pacific Ocean was so big, two days was nothing. As long as they continued to work hard, they would definitely gain something.
In these two days, Xu Yun also experienced the benefits of E Yuan's Mahogany Medallion. He really admired Principal Gu's character in this area of the sea. Everyone who saw the Mahogany Medallion knew that they were Principal Gu's people. When they saw the Mahogany Medallion, they treated it as if they were seeing Principal Gu. In these two days, they had landed on five islands. All of them were served tea, wine, and food. The degree of enthusiasm made Xu Yun and Lin Ge feel embarrassed.
This also eased Xu Yun and Lin Ge's disappointment to a certain extent. While experiencing different customs and customs, Xu Yun and Lin Ge's current state of mind quickly became Xu Yun and Lin Ge's current state of mind. As the saying goes, don't rush. If it's yours, it's yours. If it's not yours, then it's meaningless to do more.
Xu Yun would do his best to find Phantom. There was no need to feel guilty. It was that simple.
Two days of peace really made Xu Yun and Lin Ge feel a little relaxed. However, when they set off on their journey on the third morning, they quickly got into trouble again.
In the vast ocean, a lone boat and a person looked so pitiful. And it was the person on this lone boat who asked Xu Yun and Lin Ge for help.
Judging from the gloomy weather this morning, it was obvious that a storm was unavoidable. This storm didn't need to be too big to easily sink the lone boat. This was something that was beyond doubt.
Lin Ge looked at Xu Yun. He didn't know what to do.
"Let him come up." Xu Yun didn't think much about it. He just felt that saving a life was better than building a seven-storied pagoda.
The first thing the rescued person did was to kneel heavily in front of Xu Yun and Lin Ge and sincerely say, "Thank you."
Xu Yun and Lin Ge were dumbfounded. Just now, they were shouting in English for help. Suddenly, Chinese came out. "Chinese?"
"Yes." The rescued man raised his head. It was indeed a Chinese man with yellow skin and black eyes. "My name is Zhang Ji. I can recognize that my two benefactors are Chinese at first glance."
"That's really fate. In this vast ocean, we actually met." Xu Yun smiled. "Since we are all Chinese, then don't call us benefactors. My name is Xu Yun. He is my brother Lin Ge. You can do whatever you want on the boat. I'm not used to it. "
Although Lin Ge also had a smile on his face, he was much more vigilant than Xu Yun. "Yes, you don't have to be so restrained. Where are you going? Let's take you there on the way. "
As soon as this person got on the boat, Lin Ge issued a disguised order to leave. After all, he was a stranger. Staying on the boat was indeed a bit unsettling.
"I don't know where I can go." Zhang Ji smiled bitterly. "I … I'll tell you my identity. Don't mind it. I'm a pirate who was expelled from the sea … Our captain gave me a small boat and let me fend for myself. I've been floating on the sea for three days and three nights."
"Did you commit a crime?" Xu Yun asked.
Zhang Ji nodded. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lin Ge sized up Zhang Ji and asked, "What crime did you commit? Which pirate crew are you from? They banished you directly. They don't intend to let you go back alive, right? "
Zhang Ji nodded again. "Yes. The captain didn't intend to let me go back alive. I … I'm a pirate from the White Whale Crew. "
Oh, this really piqued Xu Yun and Lin Ge's curiosity. The White Whale Crew was a great pirate crew. It was normal for them to banish one or two people. It could be considered fate that they bumped into each other.
"White Whale Crew … a big force," Xu Yun said calmly. "Then what crime did you commit?"
Zhang Ji smiled bitterly and sighed. "I admit, as a pirate, I have no right to talk about justice and principles. But I still can't accept some things. I can rob and rob, but they forced me to rape those pitiful girls. I really … really can't do it. "
Xu Yun and Lin Ge looked at each other. This guy was quite principled.
"I'm a newbie in the White Whale Crew. Because I didn't do such despicable things, my captain ordered me to be banished and left me to fend for myself." Zhang Ji said. "But I still can't do it. I'd rather be banished than do such things."
Xu Yun gave him a thumbs up in appreciation. "Manly enough."
"That's why I ended up like this." Zhang Ji smiled bitterly. "Benefactors, you are … seafarers? Or adventurers? Can you take me with you on future voyages? I want to be one of you! I don't want to be a pirate without integrity anymore. "
"We're neither seafarers nor adventurers. We have our own things to do. So it's inconvenient. " Lin Ge rejected him at once. "When we reach the next island, you can disembark. With our reputation, we can definitely get the islanders to help you think of a way to leave. We can't take you with us."
Zhang Ji was stunned. "I … I can bear hardships. I can do odd jobs for benefactors, cook, clean the ship. I can do anything. Just let me stay."
"You can cook? Let's give it a try. "Xu Yun smiled.
Lin Ge was stunned. "Bro … this …"
Xu Yun gestured for him to do as he said. Lin Ge didn't say anything. If Xu Yun really wanted to keep this guy on the ship, he wouldn't say anything. He just needed to pay more attention to this guy.
Hearing that, Zhang Ji immediately went to the ship's kitchen to prepare breakfast. He was really good at it. Although it was just a simple buttered toast and fried eggs, it looked delicious.
Zhang Ji put two sets of breakfast in front of Xu Yun and Lin Ge. He looked at them expectantly, hoping to get their approval.
Lin Ge took a bite of the fried egg and nodded with satisfaction. He liked this kind of tender fried egg. It felt so good. One bite and it turned yellow. "Not bad, bro. This guy's cooking is really good. Try it. "
Xu Yun nodded and gave his share to Zhang Ji. "You eat it."
Zhang Ji was stunned. "Benefactor, are you complaining that I didn't cook it well? I can improve it. Really, I can improve it. Try it. If there's anything bad, point it out to me. "
"I'm saying, you eat it. I didn't say it was bad, "Xu Yun said.
"I …" Zhang Ji was stunned.
Xu Yun's voice changed. "You've been drifting on the sea for three days. Aren't you hungry?"
Hearing Xu Yun's words, Lin Ge immediately understood Xu Yun's intention. Without saying anything, he suddenly pressed Zhang Ji's throat on the table. "No wonder I felt that there was something wrong with you!"
"I … I'm hungry, hungry, but I don't dare to eat … Benefactor, you haven't eaten yet …" Zhang Ji explained.
"It seems that you haven't experienced what it's like to be hungry for three days. If you want to experience it, I can help you." Xu Yun: "Let me tell you, people who have been hungry for three days don't care about any other factors when it comes to food, because they will starve to death if they don't eat. Is life more important or other things more important? Isn't this a simple question? "
Zhang Ji was stunned. He didn't know how to refute or explain.
"You've been drifting on the sea for three days, and you don't even have the smell of damp sea salt on you." Xu Yun continued, "Tell me, where did you sleep last night?"
"Brother, you knew that there was something wrong with him. Why didn't you tell me? I almost believed him," Lin Ge said. "I ate the food he made. I really don't know if he poisoned it."
Xu Yun smiled. "I just wanted to see if you could tell. Pigeon, be careful in the future. Do you understand? "
"Yes." Lin Ge nodded, indicating that he understood.
