Chapter 976: What a clever little guy!
"Aunt Wan, Aunt Wan..."
Mrs. Wan was still fast asleep, and she was not awake at all.
Seeing that Xiaolang was the last one to go out, she followed him and he was almost out of sight. She didn't bother to call the adults and just ran to catch up.
She wanted to see where they were going to sleepwalk...
Following the last group of children, I climbed up a ladder in a cave, panting. It seemed quite high and it took me a long time to climb up.
It’s not that Nanbao crawls slowly, but there are too many children in front of her, one after another, like the Calabash Brothers.
The people above had finished climbing, and Nanbao was the last to climb up.
Nanbao knew the overall picture of the entire ship. She thought that this should be a room on the third floor, the tallest building of the Hope.
Nanbao's eyes rolled around as she took in the surroundings.
The room is very big and even though it is full of children, it is not particularly crowded.
There are translucent glazed windows on three sides, through which you can see the sea outside.
There was a hunchbacked old woman standing in the middle of the house, her face facing the sea, her hands making seals and muttering to herself.
There was a table in front of her, and on the table was a round crystal ball. There seemed to be light shining on the crystal ball, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Nanbao is not stupid. She quickly guessed that it was the hunchbacked old woman who was causing trouble. She let so many children come here, and she must have bad intentions!
She had seen this hunchbacked old woman several times!
My parents said she was a person with supernatural powers. She must have used some special abilities to control the children!
When Nanbao thought of this, she quickly pretended to have the same confused expression as the other children, pretending to be under control.
Anyway, the hunchbacked old woman had her back to them and didn't pay any attention to her.
What a clever little guy!
After all the children had crawled out of the passage, it was gently closed again.
It's like having eyes in the back.
The hunchbacked old woman had a smile on her lips. Humph, she didn't even have to use any tricks. The child's curiosity made her come to her on her own.
And you say this couple is difficult to deal with? They're not difficult to deal with at all. They're very busy people, busy in the middle of the night, and even the children are left unattended.
This saved her the trouble.

"Wife, the weather seems to have changed. It was calm in the first half of the night..." Liao Jiu and his wife came out of the cargo hold.
Jiang Lianzhu brought out a lot of wood this time.
I plan to put some more on the sea surface for the wind and wind to use.
As soon as I came out, I found that there were waves on the sea!
Dark clouds gathered, the wind and waves grew, and the Hope began to sway on the water.
If it was a major storm, the Hope might not be able to survive it, and also, riding a strong wind, it would be too dangerous to get close.
However, if the three of them want to leave, they can still leave.
They can all breathe underwater.
Even if they fall into the water, they will not be in any great danger as long as there are no sea beasts underwater.
Jiang Lianzhu frowned and looked around. "It's a bit sudden."
I have a kind of uncomfortable feeling in my heart.
I quickly put some wood into the sea. This time I was not conservative and put as much as I could into the sea.
The sea is not calm, and if the wind blows and the others are nearby, the risk is very high.
If the storm is too big, it will affect a wide area. If it comes too suddenly, the golden eagle may not be able to fly out and may be dragged into the sea. If it falls into the water, the golden eagle will be in trouble.
Put more wood for safety.
"Keep Chengfeng and Jifeng away from them..." After putting the wood away, Jiang Lianzhu instructed Liao Jiu.
Liao Jiu agreed, "Okay!"
At this moment, a patrol team came over. The leader, holding a large lantern, shouted, "What are you two doing here so late at night? Sneaking around?"
Jiang Lianzhu placed the wood from the armory using her consciousness, and placed it far above the sea surface, so that it could not be seen around the ship.
They were not worried about being discovered.
Liao Jiu turned his head and said, "Nothing. My husband and I couldn't sleep, so we talked here. Brothers, go on patrol!"
The leader over there was a manager, and behind him was a patrol team, whom Liao Jiu knew.
The people on patrol are easy to talk to.
Everyone has seen Liao Jiu and his wife often meeting on the deck, and they usually turn a blind eye to it, after all, no one above them cares.
But the steward was not easy to talk to. He cursed, "It's already the dead of night, and you are still here being affectionate with each other. If you are so close, then why don't you get on the boat and go to sleep at home! You still come here to earn this hard-earned money? If you come here to work, you should act like a worker. I can't stand it for a moment..."
Liao Jiu's face darkened. "Manager Zhang, your words are a bit harsh, aren't they? We were just chatting. I was injured while hunting sea monsters during the day, and my wife is a doctor, so she came to help me heal. But you made it sound so harsh? Manager Zhang, you were hiding somewhere trembling while we were hunting sea monsters during the day."
Manager Zhang blushed. "You fought sea beasts because you were paid. You have to work and go into battle. I'm the manager, I have to manage the affairs of the ship. We have different divisions of labor, so you don't have to use words to confront me! Also, are you guys treating patients, or are you guys here to have sex in such cold weather? I don't smell any medicine at all, just a foul odor! It's taboo on the ship for men and women to do this kind of thing. It's unclean and will displease the Sea God. When the weather changed just now, I knew someone on the ship was doing this kind of dirty thing. I didn't expect it to be you!"
None of the warriors on patrol dared to respond.
Everyone has witnessed how strong Liao Jiu is when he fought against the sea beast.
The manager is obviously looking for trouble, and with such confidence, he is not someone to be trifled with.
At this time, the wind on the sea was getting stronger and stronger, and the superstitious people were wondering if this was the cause.
Liao Jiu was furious. "Manager Zhang, who are you insulting? Say it again, you have the guts? How dare you insult my wife?"
Manager Zhang was so frightened that he almost knelt down on the spot.
He simply couldn't withstand the pressure from Liao Jiu, a martial artist at the seventh level.
This is because Liao Jiu knew that someone must be watching this place at this moment, otherwise, a glare from him, a martial artist of the eighth level, would make the blood vessels of Manager Zhang burst.
Manager Zhang was so frightened that his hands and feet were shaking, but he still said stubbornly, "I'm just talking about the facts. Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you trying to throw me into the sea? If you didn't do it, why are you afraid of what people say? If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door! Are you feeling guilty? What's the matter? Why can't you treat it during the day? Why do you have to treat it here in the middle of the night, secretly? You are a martial arts expert, and I'm not afraid of you. We can go to Captain Nix and talk things over..."
Liao Jiu's face was gloomy. If he hadn't been able to hold it in, with his current level of cultivation, this housekeeper Zhang would have been dead.
When something is abnormal, there is something wrong!
Manager Zhang came to offend the couple for no reason, which made people wary.
