Chapter 2349 Pigsty

Walking in the foggy forest, they saw a deep and blurry scene in front of them, but the bearded Captain Barrow and the thin Birch walked very fast.

It was normal for Birch to walk fast, after all, he would come here from time to time to meet the little flea. Barrow was also very fast, and even walked in front of Birch. From this, it can be seen that Barrow was obviously very familiar with Dock No. 1.

And judging from the degree of familiarity, even Birch felt a little ashamed: "Captain, how come you look more familiar with this place than I do? You haven't given up yet, have you?"

Barrow didn't look back and continued to walk quickly through the forest: "Give up what?"

"Just to seize Dock No. 1."

Barrow paused for a second, and then continued to walk forward safely: "Dock No. 1 has the best location, and it is backed by a fertile flat land. Those pirates don't know how to plant at all, which is simply a waste of resources."

"It means that the captain is really thinking about it. No wonder you are so familiar with this place, I guess you have come here many times."

"Humph." Barrow snorted a turbid air, but did not deny it.

He didn't want to think about it, but as long as the fog didn't disappear, there would be no hope of leaving the island in a short time. Since he had to live on this annoying ghost island for a long time, he naturally hoped that the place where he lived would be better.

But... there was nothing he could do, there was nothing he could do.

"If the day comes when we have to seize Dock No. 1, we must be careful not to trap the little flea."

"I know this, of course. But..." Barrow paused: "If that day comes, I guess the little flea would have been snatched away by us. After all, Lenko is not so persistent in snatching the little flea."

The little flea is a doctor, and the little flea did not take the initiative to board the Broken Blood. According to Lenko's knight code, it is still possible to snatch the little flea.

"Okay, stop talking. The front is their rear cabin. There are usually people on duty there. If the sound is heard by them, we can only escape."

The two walked carefully through the misty forest. After walking less than a few meters, they saw a bright light in the mist. Behind the light, a huge arched outline was vaguely seen. That was Dock No. 1.

After walking a few steps on tiptoe, Barrow whispered to Birch: "There are usually people guarding the rear hatch. You wait behind the tree here first. I'll go over to see who it is."

Birch nodded, leaned against the dark tree, and waited silently.

After a while, Barrow came back quietly with a hint of joy in his eyes: "It is indeed Half Ear who is on duty today, and I'm lucky this time. Scarface is guarding with Half Ear."

Scarface and Half Ear? Who are they? Why do the captain say that they seem to be familiar with each other?

"Scarface is a pervert. He often sneaks into the pigpen after guarding for a while. Half Ear guards very strictly, but that guy is very suspicious. I used this weakness to trick him before, so it should be okay this time."

Birch looked at Barrow silently with a determined look. He really wanted to ask, Captain, how many times have you secretly come to Dock No. 1? Even the nicknames of the guards are so good? Even the personalities are familiar to you?

Because Barrow looked very confident, Birch did not question it. Anyway, the worst case scenario was that he would be discovered and then escape. He had no problem escaping...

Under Barrow's leadership, they hid behind a large rock near the rear cabin.

From here, you can see two people standing near the cabin door not far away. One of them had a scar on his face and sat lazily on the threshold, staring at the torch above in a daze; the other had a notch on his right ear, which was probably Half-Ear. Although he also leaned against the wall, his eyes kept looking around, and he listened from time to time, looking highly alert.

After waiting behind the rock for half an hour, Scarface could no longer sit still as Barrow said. From time to time, he tapped his crotch with his hand, and his eyes kept drifting behind the door.

A few minutes later, Scarface stood up, said a few words to Half-Ear, and walked into the door. It was basically certain that he was going to the pigpen by looking at the direction he turned.

Now that Half-Ear was the only one left, he was more alert. Before, he just looked around, but now he kept turning his head to observe all sides.

"He's watching so closely, how can we get in?" Burch whispered.

"Don't worry, I have a way. Because of Scarface's departure just now, Half Ear is now on high alert, but it won't last long. Wait a few minutes, wait for Half Ear's alert to be slightly lowered, and then I'll take action."

"Take action? Do you want to knock him out? Will this cause any trouble?"

"No need to knock him out, just watch me."

Hearing Barrow's confident words, Burch believed him.

Ten minutes later, Barrow began to act. He was seen quietly moving in the opposite direction, doing something in the depths of the dense forest.

After a while, Burch heard a familiar sound.

"Rustle"

Burch looked up suddenly. Wasn't this the secret code when he met Little Flea?

"Three long, two short, three quick sounds... No, it's not a quick sound, it should be a thin short sound, this is not the signal for meeting."

When Burch was wondering, he saw a flash of surprise on Banyi'er's face in front of the gate in the distance, and he muttered: "That's the sound, it's coming again, it's coming again, it must be the signal of the spy, I want to see who the spy is, as long as I catch the spy and tell Mandarin, I can... hehe..."

As he spoke, the half-ear figure quickly rushed into the dark forest.

Not long after the half-eared figure disappeared, Barrow walked out of the fog, stood in front of the gate and waved in the direction of the big stone.

Although Birch didn't want to go in, he didn't want to give up halfway, so he gritted his teeth and rushed out.

"What are you talking about? That idiot won't be back in a short time. It's enough for us to go to the pigsty and back." Barrow said before turning around and entering the hatch.

After Birch followed, he found that Barrow was still very familiar with the inside of the dock, as if he was back at home.

It can be seen that this is not the first time Barrow has entered here.

Birch followed Barrow and asked suspiciously: "Just now I seemed to hear the signal when I met the little flea, and then left with half an ear. Captain, what on earth is going on?"

Barrow said frankly: "That's what I imitated."

"ah?"

Barrow explained as he walked, and Birch gradually understood the whole story.

It turned out that Birch and the little flea met too often, and from time to time they would make regular insect noises. Although it did not attract widespread attention, Half Ear, a very suspicious person, noticed it.

People who are suspicious think too much. He had been vaguely guessing that there might be internal spies communicating with outsiders, using the sound of insects as a codeword. But it was just a guess without any evidence and it would not make any splash, so he had long wanted to catch this spy he had "imagined".

Barrow could read Half-Ear's thoughts, and once imitated Birch's signal sound when he met the little flea, and fooled Half-Ear.

This time, he naturally took advantage of the other party's mentality.

"So, my meeting with the little flea may have been noticed by half an ear?" Birch asked in surprise.

"I'm just suspicious, but Half-Ear hasn't discovered Little Flea's identity yet, and I will help you lure him away, so don't worry about it for the time being. If you are really worried, tell him about it next time you meet Little Flea Change the password again.”

Birch naturally believed what the captain said, but...

"What the captain means is that when I meet Little Flea, you also come with me?"

Barrow's eyes wandered: "Only occasionally, occasionally."

"Occasionally?"

"Oh, didn't I do this to test the strength of Lord Manchu? Moreover, I also helped you distract half of your ears. Why do you care so much? Besides, this time the little flea told you about women, I I don’t know, that doesn’t mean I don’t come to eavesdrop every time.”

Birch held his breath and stared at Barrow. He always thought that Captain Barrow acted fairly, but he didn't expect that he was such a person secretly!

Barrow slapped Birch hard on the head: "Oh, this is for a big plan, not only to seize Dock No. 1 in the future, but at the same time, I am also secretly investigating Little Flea."

After all, Little Flea was on board the Broken Blood, and he and Birch had not seen each other for several years. People's hearts are fickle, and Barrow believed in Birch, but not necessarily in Little Flea. Therefore, a large part of the reason why Barrow followed Birch was to observe the little fleas.

It was just that he was embarrassed to tell it in front of Birch before, but this time when Birch pressed him, Barrow revealed the truth.

Birch wasn't stupid either, and he understood what Barrow meant, but he still felt a little awkward.

"Don't think about it now. We are still in the enemy's territory. If something goes wrong if you are not careful, I will hang you on the bow of the boat and bask in the sun for three to five days after I get back. You will never think about it."

Barrow's words immediately brought Birch back to reality from his own thoughts. This was the enemy's lair, so no mistakes could be made.

With a strong sense of crisis, Birch became much more vigilant than before.

The pigsty is not far from the rear hatch, only a hundred meters away.

Under the leadership of Barrow, who was extremely familiar with the business, they walked on the solid ground that was not easy to make noise, hiding in the dark from time to time to avoid the sight that might be directed here.

It took about two minutes to arrive at the pig pen.

The pigsty is a square place surrounded by a gate. There are several greenhouse-like compartments inside. You can clearly see from outside the gate. Inside, there are several pig pens in the grass beds piled with withered grass and large leaves. woman.

These women were dressed in extremely revealing clothes, their hands were shackled with chains, and their bodies were all dirty. There was a foul and moldy stench in the air.

Their eyes were all dim, and they were like wax statues. Even if there were insects crawling on their bodies, they had no motivation to drive them away.

Like a "pig" that has lost the ability to think.

And they were indeed treated as pigs by Man Lao Da's people.

That's why this place is called the pigsty.

It was obviously the first time for Birch to see such a scene, and there was shock in his eyes. Although he had already known the general meaning of the pig pen from the little flea, he always thought that the pig pen was similar to the street girls on Sidro Island, and the status of the pig pens on Sidro Island was just as low as The slave is taller.

Because of this, Birch felt that robbing women was a normal thing. After all, even a female branch girl sells her body and lives in another place on this ghost island.

But he didn't expect that the woman in the pigsty was so...unlike. Even, they are even more despicable than the slaves on Sidro Island. Because at least Sidro Island still has a slave law. The law stipulates that slaves still have the right to choose their own burial method. This confirms that they are still human beings.

"They...they..." Birch had a lot of words stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say them out.

Barrow, who had a lot of life experience, understood Birch's thoughts at the moment. He patted Birch on the shoulder gently: "Now you understand the importance of Lenko, right?"

"I..." Birch didn't know what to say, and followed Barrow silently.

Barrow was not surprised by the pirates' tricks. After all, there were very few pirates like the queen on this sea. Most pirates were of the same character as Mandarin.

He used to be disgusted with some of the pirates' actions, so he retired and became a good man.

Of course, the bigger reason was that the queen, who was the spiritual pillar... disappeared.

Barrow shook his head and threw away these irrelevant thoughts: "Do you know where the woman that the little flea said drifted here?"

Birch shook his head: "I don't know either, but it must be in the pig... here."

"Okay, let's look for it, be careful."

Barrow took Birch and looked inside around the gate.

The women inside all acted numb, and even if they saw someone outside, they still didn't make any sound. Therefore, Barrow and Birch don't have to worry about being discovered.

However, they are not completely worry-free, because there are obviously people in some compartments with closed curtains, and some discordant sounds can be heard. It is estimated that the scarred face from before is in one of the compartments. For these compartments, they are relatively careful to avoid being discovered, but generally the people in the upper positions are much less vigilant, so the threat is not great.

Walking through the compartments one by one, Birch was a little puzzled and said: "Why do the Mandarin have so many women? We only have a few on the Moonlight Bird, and most of them are old..."

"Robbed." Barrow said casually.

"Robbed?" Birch muttered: "It's really a pirate."

Soon, they walked around, but did not see any so-called "beautiful women".

"Isn't it here?" Birch was puzzled: "No, the little flea said before that the Mandarin brought the woman to the pig...here?"

Although the pigpen occupies a large area, it can be seen at a glance. They looked around and didn't see the new woman.

In doubt, Barrow looked at a compartment: "The compartment with the curtain closed over there seems to be no sound?"

Generally speaking, a compartment with a closed curtain means that harmonious movement is going on inside.

In order to avoid being discovered, they did not check the compartments with closed curtains. But since they have gone around and did not see anyone, it is very likely that the other party is in the compartment.

"Let's go and take a look." Barrow said.

It is said that the woman who drifted here is injured all over her body. No one should touch her for the time being. Even if someone really touches her, it will be Mandarin who has priority.

If the woman is really placed in the compartment, with Mandarin's possessiveness, he will probably lower the curtain. At least before he touches her, he will never let others touch her.

A few seconds later, they were already standing outside the guardrail more than ten meters away from the compartment. From the gap in the curtain, they could vaguely see that there was indeed only one person inside.

Moreover, although the other party was lying, he was fully armed and wearing a set of soft armor.

This is similar to the description of the little flea.

It was just too far away, and the curtain blocked most of it, so she couldn't see her face.

"Well, I'll go in and take a look." Barrow said.

Birch said worriedly, "There's someone in the next compartment...you have to be careful."

Barrow also glanced at the compartment next to him, and heard some "hmm" and "ahh" sounds coming from inside.

"I understand."

Barrow jumped lightly, landed lightly, and then tiptoed to the outside of the curtain.

With a hint of expectation, he slowly opened the curtain.

Then, he froze.

Birch looked at Barrow in confusion from a distance. Why did Barrow stand still after opening the curtain?

One minute, two minutes

Birch looked around, anxious, and didn't understand what happened to Barrow at all.

He was also worried that someone would come over and find the two outsiders.

Seeing that Barrow had no intention of moving at all, Birch hardened his heart, climbed over the door railing, and walked quickly to Barrow's side.

He didn't dare to speak, for fear of attracting the attention of the people in the next compartment. He leaned over and looked through the curtain.

But he saw a very beautiful woman lying in the curtain. She closed her eyes, and her big brown waves casually stuck to her cheeks, which gave her a hint of seductive charm. She also had a great figure, and even wearing soft armor could not hide her proud curves.

The only regret was that there were some scars on her face and her lips were pale.

Most importantly, her right hand seemed to be gone, replaced by a few strange metal wires.

Birch was sure that this woman was indeed very beautiful, probably the most beautiful one he had ever seen in his life. However, it shouldn't be enough to fascinate Barrow to the point of being unable to move, right?

Birch looked at her face carefully again. The other party closed her eyes and couldn't see her pupil color clearly, but this face... The more Birch looked at it, the more familiar it felt.

Why is it a bit like the woman in the painting that Captain Barrow secretly kept in the depths of his drawer?

"Captain, she is..." Birch looked at Barrow who was staring at him, and couldn't help but put his mouth close to Barrow's ear and whispered.

Barrow seemed to have not come back to his senses yet, and just unconsciously replied: "It's her, it's her."

Birch: "Who is she?"

Barrow: "My queen... the uncrowned king of the Blackberry Sea..."

A voice that was almost like a whisper slowly floated out: "Mr. Asberu."

Just when Barrow said her name, the woman lying on the straw bed seemed to move her ears slightly.

Burch was about to take a closer look when a cold wind suddenly blew around him.

Before Burge could react, he felt a pain in his chest, and then his body turned in the air, and finally fell heavily to the ground.

He struggled to look up.

But he saw that the battle in the compartment next to him had ended at some point, and a man walked out of it. As soon as he saw Burge, he immediately kicked him, and this was the reason why Burge fell from the air.

And it happened that this man was the one guarding the door before...Scarface.

After kicking Burge away, the scarred man immediately saw Barrow. In just a second, Scarface recognized Barrow's identity.

There was a flash of astonishment in his eyes, and he shouted loudly without hesitation: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

His voice echoed inside the dock, and soon, lights were lit in the dark place.

A large number of figures came out from everywhere and quickly surrounded the pigpen.

Birch and Barrow were in danger.
