Count of Monte Cristo

For two consecutive days at noon they would be taken to the deck by pirates to enjoy the sun and lunch.

Today is the third day, Edmond said last night that they will reach the Strait of Gibraltar in two days, they will land in Spain, go to the slave market there to sell them, or let their families pay the ransom, Redeem them back.

If there is no money, it can only be sold to the United States as a slave.If you want to escape on the shore, it will be very troublesome. The reason why this group of desperado pirates act recklessly at sea is not only relying on the unique geographical environment of the sea and his weapons, they also have a lot of background power, and Local forces on the shore or government officials and aristocrats have colluded, otherwise how dare these pirates start the human trafficking business.They are not the colonized people in the colonies, but the legal citizens of various countries.If he doesn't care about this issue, it can only mean that he has a big background and is not afraid of people's investigation at all, so it will be much more troublesome to escape on the shore.Then the only choice is to find a way to escape while the pirate ship is still sailing on the sea.As long as they left the pirate ship, with the boundless sea, they would definitely be able to escape the pursuit of the pirates. Maybe the pirates would not hunt them down at all. After all, they had already obtained Steven's goods, and they were considered to have made a lot of money.But there is a premise that they must get a boat!

During the briefing two days ago, Lin Ke kept paying attention to whether he could find Steven.But nothing was found, but Lin Ke noticed that there were two small sailboats and three lifeboats under the bottom of the pirate ship!This is really an amazing news!Edmund also took advantage of the time on the deck to discuss countermeasures with Captain Jacob and his mate.The sailors all have their own language and sign codes, so there is no pressure to communicate.

Lin Ke remembered what Edmund said last night. He said that there will be heavy rain tonight, and there will be wind and waves at sea, so the pirate ships should not sail at night, and they should stop in a safe place!

When they reached the deck, another party was already lying on the deck eating their lunch.They also discussed last night whether they should pull this group of people into their escape plan.Edmond's plan is: if his plan goes well and he has a chance, he will save them; if the conditions are not allowed, then it is God's arrangement whether they die or live.

Edmond had already sat down and started to eat lunch. The weather at noon today was very good, the sun was shining brightly, the waves were calm, and the cool breeze was very refreshing.

Lin Ke raised his head and let the wind pass through his neck.He turned his head inadvertently, but saw Steven.Steven stood on the third deck, with his golden hair raised, Lin Ke felt that he was looking down at the group of them, but he was far away from Taiyuan, and he couldn't see Steven's expression clearly.Steven seemed to be holding a piece of paper in his hand, he raised it, and then threw it into the sea casually, and then Linko saw a man rushing to the railing, as if he wanted to grab the piece of paper!

Steven seemed to be smiling, laughing wantonly.The man's face was ashen and furious.Lin Ke could feel his anger even at a distance!Steven didn't care, and even smiled at him arrogantly, saying something Lin Ke didn't hear, but the man grabbed his neck and dragged Steven vigorously!Only then did Lin Ke discover that the man was the leader of the pirates! !

Steven didn't struggle either, and soon Linko couldn't see them.

"Lin Ke, eat quickly." Edmund called him, and Lin Ke came back to his senses and asked nonchalantly, "Did you see it?"

Edmund was not surprised, "Well. Steven will help us tonight."

"Did you get in touch? When?" Lin Ke asked a little strangely. Edmond had been with her all the time, but he had never met Steven!

"Hehe..." Edmond smiled when he saw Lin Ke racking his brains. He patted Link on the head, "Don't think about it, I will tell you later."

"Oh." Lin Ke didn't bother anymore. He absent-mindedly bit the bread in his hand. After eating bread for more than ten days, he felt like throwing up.

Seeing his swollen face as he gnawed on the bread, Edmund relaxed a little.

At this moment, a group of pirates descended from the third floor!That menacing appearance actually came straight towards them! !

Lin Ke was very surprised. Just as he was about to step forward, Edmund grabbed his shoulder and blocked him.

The leader was actually the pirate chief. He stared at Edmund for a long time, and then punched Edmund in the face without saying a word!Edmund didn't expect that he would be caught off guard, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth immediately.

"Edmond!" Lin Ke exclaimed!

The pirate leader swung back the trying pirates, then continued punching like dynamite.Edmond also responded unceremoniously.The two actually fought on the deck!

The two fought for 10 minutes. Edmund was in a weak position. He had been in the dungeon on the ship for so many days, and he was still injured. The pleasure of blood.

Edmund fell over his shoulder, and the pirates were thrown to the ground, and the pirates cursed.At the head was the bearded man, who seized Edmund by the shoulders to throw him to the ground, but Edmund fought back.Those people rushed forward and beat Edmond in groups.Lin Ke was stunned and hurried forward, one of the pirates kicked Lin Ke far away.

Those people don't use pistols either, they seem to be here to beat people up.

Then the bearded man joined the battle, and the other pirates saw this and joined in, and several of them beat Edmund.

The sailors on the Maiden couldn't take it anymore, they put down their meals one after another and joined the battle!Seeing that a struggle is inevitable!The bloodshed is about to happen again, and the sailors over there are also excited!

The kick that kicked Lin Ke hit his abdomen, and the pain made him unable to get up for a long time!The crowd was chaotic, and Edmond was surrounded in the middle, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!" Someone fired three shots into the sky!

The pirates stopped as if they had made an agreement.

The pirate leader wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then blew on the smoke from his gun.

"Hehe..." He pointed the gun at Edmond's head, frowning, "You are Edmond, good job!" With a hateful tone, he narrowed his eyes and moved his fingers slightly, as if he was about to shoot .

"No!" Two voices shouted at the same time.

The pirate turned his head and sneered, "Sure enough, can't you help it?"

Lin Ke watched Steven approach and took the gun from the pirate leader. He said with great patience, "Jack, for God's sake, can you stop being so annoying?"

Jack stared at him, "If you draw me another one, I'll put them all." Listen carefully, and maybe you can hear the humility and tension in it.

Steven laughed angrily, "Jack, you are too self-righteous. Even if I die, I won't draw another picture!"

Captain Jack's complexion changed, he also smiled, and taunted: "Steven, haven't I always hated you? I haven't seen you say that before? God? Oh...God knows what I did to you After what happened, will you accept you, a pious citizen?"

Steven slapped him across the face, as if he couldn't take it anymore.

The atmosphere stagnates, and the air becomes tense.

Jack seemed to want to kill, but he was not looking at Steven, but at them. His gaze was like a sharp sword, and he actually forced some of them to take a few steps back.

Edmund lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly.Lin Ke was behind him, holding his breath carefully, and Steven was smiling, looking at him without any fear and smiling, "Why, keep me imprisoned in the dungeon again, I'll wait for you." Finally One word you, he actually approached Jack and said it close to his ear, as if he was speaking the most beautiful words of love.But Jack's face turned gloomy, and his eyes became resentful, "Put them all in death row, and they won't be given water or food for two days!" He picked up Steven and went up to the third floor.

Jack was gone, and the pirates who remained on the deck roared, as if they were going to charge up and tear them apart one by one.At this moment, only a plop was heard!

Someone jumped into the sea!

Ada, the little sailor on the Maiden jumped into the sea to escape!

While everyone was in a mess, he quietly went to the starboard rudder, where he jumped into the sea. He swam vigorously, hoping to get away from this evil pirate ship!

Immediately there are pirates shooting into the sea!

Then the gunshots rang out continuously, one after another!

Ada's voice could not be heard, but he could be seen struggling in the sea, and then the sea turned red.After the bang bang gunshots, Ada couldn't see her figure, maybe she sank.

Lin Ke was silent and couldn't bear to look any further.Edmond leaned against him suddenly, breathing heavily, and Lin Ke tried his best to support him.The old wounds on Edmond's body were also opened, and new wounds were added.

Lin Ke was a little worried, and whispered, "Edmond, how is it?"

The sailors on the Maiden were silent, but obviously they were all enduring, and when they were able to fight back, it would be the day of death for these pirates.

"You bastards! Today I will teach you a lesson!!"

"Yes! One shot jumped them!"

"I really don't understand what the boss is thinking, and still keep this group of scumbags!!"

The pirates obviously couldn't bear it anymore, and the battle between the two parties was about to break out!

Lin Ke's heart was beating extremely fast. He had never been so nervous before. He never thought that things would develop in such twists and turns!Are they going to be buried here today!

Edmund said in a low voice, "Don't worry, we'll still follow the original plan."

Lin Ke settled down, Edmund was the protagonist, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with following him.Lin Ke has an almost blind confidence in Edmund, and is full of hope for the future.

Sure enough, Edmund expected it!The beard stopped the pirates from talking, and then sent them back to the dungeon as before.Before entering the dungeon, Lin Ke was also punched because he accidentally bumped into a pirate, who immediately punched him.When he was about to throw his second punch, Edmund stopped him. Edmond's eyes were fierce. The pirate seemed to be timid, and pushed them into the dungeon with grunts and shouts.

As soon as they entered the dungeon, Lin Ke and Edmond immediately lay down on the ground.

Lin Ke was kicked and punched. He was originally thin and weak, but now his face was pale and sweating, and he had no strength to stand up. He tremblingly took out a knife and a Only a small gun.

"Here." He stole it from the pirate's arms just now. This hand was taught to him by his uncle who was a soldier when he was in high school. He didn't expect it to come in handy here now, and it's not in vain. He was punched and grinned in pain.

Edmund was exhausted. Instead of catching the gun and the knife, he held Lin Ke's hand, "Sleep first and recover your energy. We will act in the middle of the night."

Lin Ke didn't respond, Edmond got up to look at him, only to find that his eyes were closed and he was already asleep.Edmund stared at his sleeping face, and murmured, "Tonight, we will go to freedom."
