Conan: I'm just an ordinary novelist

Yun Xianhe's pretentious appearance successfully made the captain smile with interest:

"Hahaha! Okay, but in this sea area, if you want to have the right to speak, you need strength, little one!"

"captain?"

"Go, try it with Little Polaris."

The pirates moved aside, revealing the shortest pirate among them.

Although it is short, it only refers to the height.

The other party's muscular body is not just for show.

In addition, his bronze skin from years of sun exposure and the large and small scars on his face made his expressionless face particularly creepy.

The young man who was called "little guy" stepped forward. The captain glanced at Yun Xianhe who seemed to be still in a state of confusion and pursed his lips:

"You now have two choices. Either you defeat Little One and, as the owner of the treasure map, take control of the ship;"

"Or you can just give up. Old Tom wants to take you in, so you can follow him and work as a ship's handyman, washing the deck."

"Of course, no matter which one you choose, I will take you to find the treasure."

"Now, choose, little North Star."

Hearing this, Yun Xianhe raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xiaobitan, and smiled meaningfully:

"What if I don't choose any of them?"

"Then let's go, but I don't believe you'll live long enough to find the North Star. Do you want to bet?"

"You're not going to take the map?"

The old captain sneered, crossed his legs and folded his arms across his chest, and said with a smile:

"I'm a good pirate, and the first rule of the ship is: you are not allowed to rob the weak."

The pirates around laughed.

Apparently they often felt that it was strange for a pirate to have such ship regulations.

However, this also shows that in the eyes of the other party, Yun Xianhe is now a weakling.

Only the fittest survive, and it is a crime to possess a treasure.

Taking them to the island of the North Star was a risk in itself.

If Yun Xianhe could not demonstrate any value other than a map whose authenticity was unknown at this moment, he would have to provide some other compensation - labor - in order to enjoy the pirates' escort.

Pay after you find the treasure?

Just kidding.

In this ocean where accidents can happen at any time, who knows if you will die in the next second? There is no time to wait.

What's more, Yun Xianhe meant to keep the map for himself, which meant that he wanted to be the controller of this adventure.

If you don't have the ability, what right do you have?

Yun Xianhe glanced at the old captain, lowered his head and chuckled twice, then jumped down from the side of the boat nimbly and walked up to the little one and stood still.

"How do you determine the winner?"

"One round, if you beat him, you win."

Hearing the captain's words, the little guy moved his shoulders, and the muscles in his arms, like small hills, twitched.

Old Tom gestured to John on the side.

The little guy's arm was almost as thick as Yun Xianhe's thigh. If he got hit by a punch, he would probably die.

There was a faint sound behind me.

Yun Xianhe looked back down the boat, and when he saw Hongshu on the rope ladder, he sighed slightly:

"Didn't I tell you to wait downstairs? Do you think your brother can't win?"

"I'm just a little worried..."

"Hold on tight."

Yun Xianhe pulled the rope ladder and lifted Hongshu up directly.

When the others saw this scene, they widened their eyes in disbelief, and when they looked at Yun Xianhe, their expressions were somewhat complicated.

Was I wrong? This skinny guy could be so strong?

"Be good and wait here for a moment. The scene is going to be a bit violent, and children are not allowed to peek."

"Hey?"

"obedient."

Yun Xianhe asked Hongshu to stand by the boat facing the sea, patted him on the head, and then turned to look at the little guy.

"Please finish it quickly, my brother needs to rest."

The little guy naturally saw what Yun Xianhe had just done, but he didn't take it to heart.

After all, there are a lot of strong people on this ship.

Even for those who wash the decks, that kind of thing is easy.

He grinned, hooked his finger at Yun Xianhe, and made a parrying gesture.

John, who was standing by, saw that both of them seemed ready and raised his right hand:

"ready, go!"

Before he finished speaking, Yun Xianhe, who was standing in the same place, moved.

The white figure was as fast as a ghost. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of the little guy and raised its leg to give a side kick!

boom!

The little guy who was kicked out without seeing what happened fell on the deck, staring blankly at the starry sky, and he felt that the stars were shaking.

There were no fancy moves, he knocked the man down with just one encounter.

Old Tom looked at the kid on the ground who hadn't recovered yet, then glanced at Yun Xianhe who was tidying up his clothes, and his voice changed a little:

"Wow, this is so cool."

"Have we found a treasure?"

The pirates were talking quietly, with some excitement in their eyes.

Yun Xianhe straightened his cuffs and raised his head, looking at the captain calmly. The captain gave him applause without hesitation:

"it is good!!"

"Thank you Captain!"

The old captain smiled happily. When he saw the little one standing up and walking over, he patted him on the shoulder encouragingly:

"Try harder next time and don't underestimate any opponent again."

"Yes Captain!"

"You beat Little Polaris, I will keep my promise."

"I will too."

Yun Xianhe smiled at the other party, took out the parchment map from his bag and threw it to the captain:

"Great Navigator, whether we can get the treasure depends on you."

The old captain was stunned when he received the map, then he laughed out loud:

"Hahahaha! Sailors! Did you hear what little North Star said?"

"I heard it!"

"Work hard and wait for the other party to pay us!"

"Okay, Captain!"

A group of pirates were talking and laughing.

Yun Xianhe smiled and turned around to pat Hongshu's shoulder who was still looking at the sea:

"already solved."

"I'm not a kid anymore."

"Pfft, yeah, I'll let you see it next time."

"Did you just laugh?"

The hero who was asked looked around and rubbed Hiroki's head twice with his hands:

"how could be."

He seemed to understand a little bit of the joy his husband felt when he raised his children.

Hongshu looked at Yun Xianhe, who seemed to be in a daze, with his crescent eyes, and finally sighed helplessly:

"Did you dare to look at me and say that just now?"

"Well - no, it's easy to be exposed."

He knows it!

"Cough cough!"

Old Tom coughed twice, successfully getting the two to look at him:

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Tom. Everyone on the ship calls me Old Tom."

"Hello, my name is Xianhe, and this is my younger brother, Xian'an."

When Hongshu heard his name, he was stunned for a moment, and then he honestly played the role of an inexperienced child. He hid behind Yun Xianhe obediently and looked around curiously.

Old Tom looked at the two children in front of him, rubbed his hands, and seemed a little nervous.

"Would you two like to follow me? Don't look at me like this, I am the foreman of the sailors of this ship."

"Aren't you following the captain?"

"Cough cough!!"

"Hahahaha! Old Tom, it looks like your plan to adopt a younger brother has failed again!"

People passing by were laughing and making jokes.

Old Tom raised his leg to kick him, but the other man dodged it.

Old Tom, who didn't kick anyone, straightened his wrinkled clothes and turned to walk into the cabin:

"You two must be starving. I'll go get Dashan to prepare a meal."

"This guy started, 'Capture people's hearts with delicious food', oops! Hey!"

In the end, the pirate who couldn't dodge the kick laughed and cursed a few words, then continued to do his own thing.

The pirates' jokes and interactions broke the somewhat tense atmosphere.

Yun Xianhe protected Hongshu with one hand and rubbed his head twice:

"Are you tired, Xian'an?"

Hiroki was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly called by a new name, then he shook his head slightly.

“Not tired, will the captain here really lead us to find the North Star?”

"Don't worry, I'm here for you."

"Hey! Little Polaris, where are you from?"

Yun Xianhe tilted his head to look at the person who called him the North Star and said with a smile:

"We came from a small island in the south."

"Wow, what a coincidence! I'm also from the island. Let me introduce myself. My name is Dirk. I'm an orphan who was appreciated by the captain and now I'm a sailor!"

"Wow - I was the captain of that little boat just now, but now I'm supposed to be... a mascot?"

As he spoke, Yun Xianhe patted his shoulder bag, where the map was placed.

"After all, I don't know anything."
