The red moon returns

Chapter 222 Thank you, uncle
"Let me go, let me go."

The little girl's voice was clear and pleasant, but her strength was quite strong. She swung her arm hard and tried to free it from Lynch's hand. The fierce Lynch was a little worried whether the child would break his arm.

"Shh, shh, look clearly, I'm a human, not a monster."

Lin Qi nervously looked at the corridor outside the door. Fortunately, the deep divers had gone out to challenge, and the little girl's voice did not alert the enemy.

The frightened girl gradually calmed down after hearing the words, stopped struggling, rolled her beautiful eyes, and stared at Lin Qi's face for a long time, as if to confirm whether what he said was true or false.

"Are you really... human?"

Only then did Lin Qi have the opportunity to take a closer look at the girl.

It seems familiar, but I've searched through my memory and can't remember where I've seen it before.

The little girl spoke with a strange foreign accent. She was wearing a colorful and exotic pleated skirt. She was not wearing a hat, and her long golden flaxen hair was hanging down her back. The brown eyes are big, and there is a hint of weirdness in them...fuck.

Lynch only had time to put his hat on his head when a shadow fell from the sky.

The child didn't seem to believe Lynch's words at all. He grabbed another clay pot from the corner and smashed it down hard.

Lin Qi froze and almost shot directly.

Just as he was talking, there was another huge earthquake on the ship's hull. The little girl was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she slipped into Lin Qi's arms again.

And are people in this world sick? Why are there so many cans in the cabin?
Before I could vomit the complaints in my heart, I was hit on the head. Fortunately, I put on the hat that was endowed with absorbing properties in time, just like wearing a helmet.

boom.

Feeling the child in his arms shaking like a frightened kitten, Lin Qi seemed to be able to feel the fear of hiding here alone in the past few days. Although he was already anxious, he could only pat the little girl's back and comfort her softly. .

The jar was smashed to pieces, but there was nothing wrong with his head. It was just full of broken ceramics. The little girl looked at Lin Qi blankly, as if wondering why this man was fine.

The child's body was soft and warm, completely different from the cold deep diver. Feeling the child in his arms shaking with fear, Lin Qi felt soft and let her cry for a while before pushing her away. He opened his mouth and asked hard-heartedly: "Now tell me clearly who you are and why you are here."

The strange environment and strange children made Lin Qi feel wary. But she was still a child after all, and Lin Qi really couldn't bear to push her away at this time, so he could only maintain the greatest vigilance and pat her back gently, ready to respond to her possible movements at any time.

The little girl stared at Lin Qi and blinked, the alertness on her face gradually thawed, and suddenly she let out a howl and threw herself into Lin Qi's arms.

Although he was already distraught, but seeing the child almost out of breath from crying, Lynch still gently rubbed the little girl's head.

"They said they would come back to pick me up in a while, and then ran away, but I waited for many days and didn't see them. The sailors on the boat were also missing. There were only those monsters emerging from the sea outside, and I didn't see them either. If you dare to go out, you have to hide here and wait for your parents, wuwuwu, uncle, I'm sorry, I shouldn't hit you, I was wrong, can you take me to find my parents?"

Are children in this world born with the skill to hit people on the head with a clay pot?

It seemed that my guess was correct. This child was a passenger on the ship who met pirates inexplicably. It was estimated that her parents had already died at the hands of pirates along with the crew. Where could they find them?

"I, I..." the little girl wiped her tears and looked at Lynch secretly. She choked for a moment before whispering, "I went out to play with my parents on the boat, and then suddenly there were a lot of fierce monsters coming out of the sea. When I came out, my parents hid me in that box. They..."

So there is no way to go out without wearing a helmet.

After dozens of days of experience, Lin Qi knew how to deal with the naughty child. He directly dragged her over and pinned her to the ground, and slapped her buttocks three times. When she saw the little girl puckering her mouth and was about to cry, she immediately scolded her in a low voice: "Shut up and show me clearly. Have you ever seen a normal monster like me?"

The question is, how to tell her?

Tell her, your horse is dead? Or take her to the mate's room to see her parents in the hole?

No, I'm not that crazy. Lin Qi sighed and comforted softly: "I'm sorry, uncle doesn't know where your parents are. It's too late to find them now. Those monsters will be back in a while. Let's do this. Uncle will take you out first and wait for you. It’s safe. If there is a chance, uncle, can you help you find your parents?”

I thought I needed to spend some time, but I didn't expect that the little girl was quite obedient. Although she was reluctant, she nodded and said crisply: "Well... okay. Let's go now."

"Uncle is looking for something else, please wait for me for a while."

"What are you looking for?" There were still tears on the little girl's face, and a look of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

"A small wooden box should be in the hands of the monster headed by them. Do you know where that monster lives?"

Lin Qi just subconsciously asked casually. The little girl had been hiding here, so it was impossible to know. But to his surprise, the little girl's eyes widened and she replied bluntly: "It's in the captain's cabin."

"Huh? How did you know?"

"That day I heard monsters fighting outside, and I heard them shouting that I had to go to the captain's room to find the leader for comment."

This little girl is quite thoughtful and remembers every sentence so clearly. However, Lin Qi still frowned and muttered: "The problem is that I have already looked there and found no wooden box. Could it be that the leader took it away with him?"

"There is a small hidden compartment in the captain's cabin. When I played with the captain's grandfather before, he even showed me the treasure inside."

Isn't that a hidden grid? Lynch took a deep breath and his eyes lit up. If the deep diver leader discovers the secret compartment, he might really hide important items inside.

"I'll take uncle to find him."

The little girl actively took Lin Qi's hand and dragged Lin Qi outside. Although she was surprised why the little guy suddenly became so active, she didn't think much about it. She simply picked up the little guy and ran towards the captain's cabin with large strides. .

The captain's cabin remained the same as when he left. It was still as weird as before. As soon as he entered the door, Lynch put down the little girl. The girl looked around and suddenly smiled: "It turns out that it was really left here."

With that said, the little girl ran to the bed, took out the doll from under the bed and held it in her arms.

Um? Lin Qi suddenly realized why he felt that the little girl looked familiar. She looked almost exactly the same as this doll. In other words, this doll was made according to her appearance. No wonder she was so happy after finding it. It seemed that this was the reason why she had found the captain before. Grandpa fell under the bed while playing.

"Thank you, brother, for leading me to find the doll." The little guy said happily, and then pointed to the broken cabinet, "The last time I saw the captain, my grandpa pressed the inside of the cabinet, and then a small compartment opened in the cabinet."

Finally, we have an idea. If everything goes well, we can really find the gem before the deep diver returns.

Lin Qi felt a little more hopeful and quickly walked to the damaged cabinet to check it carefully.

After touching it again, no mechanism seemed to be found. Thinking about it carefully, it should be obvious that such a child could find out what he pressed in the cabinet. Put yourself in her shoes, if I were her, come in and see...etc.

Lin Qi suddenly felt chilled all over because he realized something.

Such a weird room even shocked me. Why wasn't this child scared?

Is this a normal child?

When he realized this, Lin Qi didn't care about anything and rolled to one side as fast as possible. The next moment, a huge force came from behind and hit the cabinet hard, completely smashing it to pieces. .

Lin Qi, who was tumbling, looked back and saw that the little girl had climbed onto the table at some point and was squatting next to the tumbling pot of green liquid. With a weird and ferocious smile on her face, she put a doll like her on the table. Pressed into the green water.

"Thank you, uncle, I will take you to see your parents now."

The next moment, the water surface began to churn violently, and an increasingly intense sense of pressure emerged from the basin.
