It was evening.
Xiao Meng looked at Qin Xiaoxuan, who had some difficulty walking, and asked in confusion.
"Sister Xiaoxuan! What's wrong with you?"
Qin Xiaoxuan's face flushed red instantly, and she stammered.
"No, it's nothing, I just twisted my ankle by accident."
Xiao Meng said with concern, "Then I'll go get some medicine for you to apply."
Qin Xiaoxuan quickly explained.
"No need, Xiaomeng! It's already been wiped!"
Xiao Meng nodded with a hint of disbelief.
"Really? Sister Xiaoxuan, then you must take more rest."
At this moment, Wang Fan also came over, and said with a mischievous grin.
"Yes! Xiaoxuan has to be more careful from now on!"
Seeing Wang Fan's wicked grin, Qin Xiaoxuan stomped on his foot hard.
"You talk too much!"
"Ouch!" Wang Fan cried out in pain. "Xiaoxuan, you're too cruel!"
Xiao Meng laughed so hard she almost fell over.
"Brother, you deserved it for bullying Sister Xiaoxuan!"
Qin Xiaoxuan snorted, "Let's see if you dare to talk nonsense again."
Wang Fan rubbed his feet, muttering, "I won't do it again, I won't do it again."
But looking at the fierce-looking Qin Xiaoxuan, what he was thinking was something else entirely.
"Little Pimp! You take this with you! We'll get back to the factory sooner or later!"
The three sat together at the dinner table, looking at the delicious food on the table, their faces beaming with satisfaction.
At this moment, Xiaomeng looked at the bowl of unknown stuff in front of her and asked in confusion.
"Bro! What's this? Is it a fan?"
Wang Fan glanced at it and answered with a smile.
"This isn't vermicelli, it's shark fin soup. It's very delicious, you should try it."
Xiao Meng scooped up a spoonful with some skepticism and put it in her mouth, her eyes immediately lighting up.
Wow, this is really delicious!
Seeing that Qin Xiaoxuan hadn't touched her chopsticks yet, Wang Fan quickly called out to her.
"Xiaoxuan! You should try some too!"
Qin Xiaoxuan smiled slightly, picked up the spoon, took a small bite, and nodded in praise.
"Yes, it tastes really great."
Xiao Meng said with a grin, "Then we have to eat all of these."
Xiao Meng happily took the chicken leg and took a big bite. "Wow, it's so delicious! Bro, your cooking is amazing!"
Qin Xiaoxuan also smiled and said.
"Yes, Wang Fan, this meal was fantastic. It tasted even better than any restaurant I've ever been to before."
Wang Fan scratched his head sheepishly, "Haha, I'm glad you like it. I just did it casually."
……………
After a hearty meal and drinks, Wang Fan was pondering what excuse he could use to have a threesome.
Suddenly, as if sensing something was wrong, Xiao Hei started barking wildly.
Its cry shattered the harmonious atmosphere; the sound was unease-filled, sharp and urgent, echoing all around.
Its ears perked up, its eyes stared warily out the window, and its body trembled slightly.
It seems that some potential danger is quietly approaching, making it impossible for it to remain calm.
Wang Fan tiptoed to the window and cautiously peered out, but it was pitch black outside and he couldn't see anything.
Xiao Meng gripped Qin Xiaoxuan's arm tightly, her voice trembling with tears.
"Sister Xiaoxuan, I'm so scared."
Qin Xiaoxuan tried to remain calm and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Xiaomeng, Wang Fan is here."
Wang Fan glanced back at them and said in a low voice, "You should all hide in your rooms first."
Xiaomeng and Qin Xiaoxuan quickly ran into the room and closed the door.
Just then, a chilling gust of wind slipped in through the crack in the window, and Wang Fan couldn't help but shiver.
"What the hell? Don't scare me!"
As soon as Wang Fan finished speaking, a strange footstep sound came from the deck outside. The footsteps were heavy and slow, as if each step was carrying enormous pressure.
Wang Fan's heart pounded faster and faster. He clenched his fists, trying to calm himself down.
Xiao Hei had already hidden in a corner of the room. Wang Fan took a deep breath and slowly approached the door.
Just as his hand was about to touch the doorknob, the footsteps suddenly stopped, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.
Cold sweat broke out on Wang Fan's forehead; he had no idea what would happen next.
Meanwhile, Xiaomeng and Qin Xiaoxuan in the room didn't dare to breathe, filled with fear.
Suddenly, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door, "bang bang bang!" Each knock seemed to strike their hearts.
Wang Fan asked in a trembling voice, "Who?"
There was no response from outside the door, only the knocking continued.
Wang Fan took out his crossbow and pointed it at the door, his hand hovering in mid-air for a long time, but he hesitated to open the door.
Little Meng in the room couldn't help but shout, "Brother, don't open it!"
Qin Xiaoxuan also said nervously, "Wang Fan, be careful!"
Just as Wang Fan hesitated, the knocking stopped abruptly, and the surroundings fell into a suffocating silence once again.
After waiting for a while, Wang Fan finally peeked out through the crack in the door.
This sight nearly stopped his heart from beating.
Not far away on the deck, a pale skeleton stood, its empty eye sockets flickering with eerie blue ghost fire, and it held a decaying weapon in its hand.
Behind the skeleton was a ghost ship that was faintly visible.
The ship's hull was pieced together from rotten black logs, and its sail was a pale white skull pattern that fluttered in the eerie wind, like the mournful cries of countless wronged souls.
"Damn it! What's going on? Am I going to die here today?"
Upon seeing this, Wang Fan covered his mouth in horror, afraid that he would make a sound.
However, the skeleton seemed to sense his gaze, slowly turned its head, and the will-o'-the-wisps in its eye sockets suddenly shone brightly.
Wang Fan quickly took a few steps back, accidentally knocking over the chair behind him.
The loud crash was particularly clear in the quiet environment.
The skeleton outside the door suddenly came to life and charged towards the door.
"Run!" Wang Fan shouted, rushing into the room.
When Xiaomeng and Qin Xiaoxuan saw Wang Fan's terrified expression, their faces turned deathly pale.
"What's wrong?" Xiaomeng asked, her voice trembling.
Before Wang Fan could explain, he grabbed them and ran deeper into the ship's hold.
The skeleton pounded violently against the door, each strike seemingly making the entire door tremble.
The three ran desperately in the darkness, their heartbeats and gasps mingling together.
"What on earth is going on?" Xiaomeng cried out, her voice trembling with tears.
Qin Xiaoxuan's voice trembled with fear: "I don't know either! Wang Fan! What happened?"
As Wang Fan ran, he said, "Don't ask anymore, let's find a place to hide first."
At this moment, they noticed a small cubicle ahead, and Wang Fan quickly pushed Xiao Meng and Qin Xiaoxuan inside.
"Don't make a sound here," Wang Fan said, turning around to lure the skeleton away.
But just then, the skeleton burst through the door, its eye sockets flickering with ghostly fire looking particularly eerie in the darkness.
Wang Fan took a deep breath and ran in the opposite direction.
The skeleton was attracted by Wang Fan's movements and followed closely behind.
