"We didn't catch it," the deputy general shook his head and said helplessly: "When we found the island, the pirates had already left for two days, and the fishing boat was burned by them!"
"How did the survivors survive?" Zheng Chiyuan asked.
Generally speaking, pirates never leave anyone alive.
"The survivor is the young son of the boatman. He is only twelve years old. When the pirates boarded the ship, the boatman stuffed him into a secret compartment outside the deck."
Zheng Chiyuan said: "The pirates set fire to the ship and left. The little guy just saved his life."
"The little guy is quite tough," Zheng Chiyuan nodded: "Does he know where the pirates who attacked them are from?"
The pirates in the East China Sea have always been relatively mixed. There are Japanese pirates from the Japanese country, as well as fishermen pretending to be locals and the Bohai Sea in the South China Sea. In recent years, many golden-haired devils have appeared.
Only by knowing the identity of the opponent can we better confirm the direction of pursuit.
"The news came back from the search and rescue team's airship. The little guy was on a speedboat. He hasn't come back yet, and I haven't seen him yet."
The lieutenant replied: "But judging by the time, it's almost time for the speedboat to come back!"
"Then let's go to the pier and have a look."
Zheng Chiyuan got up and walked out of the study, heading towards the pier.
On a battleship not far from the dock, Shui Wa was learning to raise the sail from a naval officer. When she accidentally saw Zheng Chiyuan on the dock, Shui Wa raised her eyebrows at that time, and then without saying a word, she walked directly from the deck of the battleship.
Jump up and down.
Although the navy's warship is a wooden ship, it is not small in size. The deck is more than ten meters high from the ground.
Diving from such a high place, if you enter the water in the wrong posture, lying down or on your belly and patting the water, your internal organs may be smashed on the spot.
The navy soldier who taught Shui Wa how to raise the sail screamed in fright and hurried to the railing.
I looked down and saw the water baby falling into the water.
Shui Wa's legs were stretched straight, her hands were raised above her head, and she fell straight into the sea.
For normal people, let alone diving from a height of more than ten meters, even if they jump from a height of one or two meters, they may cause a large splash of water.
But when the water baby fell into the water, the splash was very small, less than half a meter in height, and it calmed down quickly.
Under the gaze of the navy soldiers, Shuiwa rushed out of the sea and swam towards the dock.
Previously, Zheng Chiyuan's personal guard brought Shui Wa to the soldier and told him that Shui Wa was Zheng Chiyuan's. When he asked him to take good care of Shui Wa, the soldier looked down on Shui Wa and felt that he was a person with connections through the back door.
No matter where you are, the person you are related to is an unwelcome person, unless the person you are related to is yourself.
Now looking at the swimming speed of the water baby, the soldier knew that he was wrong.
Even if Shui Wa is really a guanxi household, he is still a very, very powerful guanxi household.
Not to mention anything else, no one in the entire navy camp can match Shui Wa's diving speed and current swimming speed.
Zheng Chiyuan has been busy recently and completely forgot about Shui Wa. Now that he saw Shui Wa again, he remembered that he recruited this child.
Shuiwa was extremely fast. In less than a minute, he swam to the shore and ran straight towards Zheng Chiyuan.
Zheng Chiyuan's personal guards also knew him, so they didn't stop him.
Everyone thought that Shui Wa had seen Zheng Chiyuan and came to say hello, including Zheng Chiyuan himself.
Who knew that Shui Wa's first words when she saw Zheng Chiyuan were to point at his nose and curse: "Zheng Chiyuan, you are a big liar!"

"Presumptuous!" Zheng Chiyuan's deputy immediately scolded: "Do you want to die?"
A trace of displeasure flashed in Zheng Chiyuan's eyes.
There were quite a few navy soldiers around. Zheng Chiyuan, as the commander, was pointed at and scolded by a child in public, and his face was a bit offended.
It's true that he admires Shui Wa, but it doesn't mean that Zheng Chiyuan can allow Shui Wa to do whatever he wants.
Holding back his temper, he asked: "Shui baby, why are you scolding me? If you don't tell me something today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Shui Wa didn't show any weakness, she frowned and shouted: "Didn't you say that as long as I follow you, I'm guaranteed to see the Imperial Preceptor within three days? It's already the fourth day, where is the Imperial Preceptor?"
This time it was Zheng Chiyuan's turn to be dumbfounded.
He did say this when he was recruiting water babies on the raft.
But after he came back, he was busy with business and handed Shui Baby over to his personal guards, so he forgot about it.
Otherwise, no matter how busy you are, you still have time to take Shui Wa to say hello to Jin Feng.
Now that the three-day time limit has passed, even if he takes Shui Wa to see Jin Feng again, he will still fail to do what he promised.
"You're so messy," the deputy general scolded when Zheng Chiyuan didn't say anything, "Do you know how busy the Imperial Preceptor is? Do you know how busy the general is? How can I have time to see you?"
"Stop talking about it. It's true that I promised Shui Wa but didn't do it. It's my fault."
Zheng Chiyuan was a bachelor, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake, and then looked at Shui Wa: "Shui Wa, it's not that I didn't take you to see the Master, it's that I was busy tracking down pirates these days and didn't take care of your business...
Let's do this, after I resolve the pirate issue, I will take you to see the national advisor immediately, how about that?"
Shui Wa saw that Zheng Chiyuan had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, and his tone softened: "Really?"
"Really," Zheng Chiyuan nodded and said, "If I forget then, just remember to remind me!"
"Okay!" Shui Wa didn't hold on, but asked curiously: "On the way here, I heard from the escort's brother that hadn't all the pirates in our area been beaten away? Why?
Are there pirates?"
"I don't know where they came from."
Anyway, there was nothing wrong with waiting now. Zheng Chiyuan told Shui Wa about the pirates hijacking the fishing boat.
When Shui Wa heard that the pirates had killed everyone on the fishing boat and burned the fishing boat, leaving only one child alive, she was so angry that she yelled at the pirates.
When the surrounding navy soldiers saw this, not only did they not stop him, but they looked at Shui Wa much softer than before.
Over the years, many navy soldiers have died at the hands of pirates. When Shui Wa scolded the pirates, she was able to scold the navy soldiers deep in their hearts.
Amid Shui Wa's scolding, two speedboats entered the dock one after the other.
The deputy general put down the telescope and said: "General, it's the brothers from the search and rescue team who are back!"
Zheng Chiyuan nodded without saying anything, and Shui Wa also stopped cursing.
A thin child stepped out of the speedboat under the protection of a navy sergeant.
"He should be the youngest son of the boat family and the survivor this time."
The deputy general pointed at the child and said.
"Why so small?" Zheng Chiyuan frowned.
Although this child is twelve years old, he is extremely thin. He looks only as big as an eight or nine-year-old child, half a head shorter than Shui Wa.
