Three wooden houses, one tall and two short, were well hidden among the dense trees. They surrounded and shouted. After a long time, the wooden door opened a little crack, and a head poked out, and then four, five more came out.
, six, and two women, dressed as Qin people
Maybe he heard that we were saying the same thing as them, so he wasn't very scared.
And we were relieved that we could see people from our hometown here, which was beyond our expectation. In the past few days since we have been on the island, we have occupied the water source. These three families have been without water for two days.
"Why don't you come out to see us?" I asked one of the older men.
"We thought there were pirates coming again, so we didn't dare to show up rashly."
"Pirates? There are pirates here?" I looked happy, which puzzled him. In fact, if it weren't for this news, maybe we would have to return soon.
"But we have been outside for so many days, even if we are noisy and shouting, you should be able to hear what we say?"
"To tell you the truth, it was hearing you talking that made us even more afraid to come out." I don't understand this. Logically speaking, when hearing Qin Opera from such a far away place, why would even a fellow villager become afraid?
The man said, "The three of us are all from Nanhai County, so there are many kinds of fish here, which can be sold at a good price back home. We live on the island, and someone comes to our house once every half month to send the fish back to us."
Bring some rice, people have been living here since my grandfather’s time."
"If you don't listen to anything else, just talk about pirates"
"Pirates, since there have been people here, there have been people, whether there are families or not, and the Borneo people come over, sometimes to rob fish, sometimes to rob boats, and to rob rice and grain, and they also rob women when they see them."
"Wait a minute, what is a family without a lang family?" I asked.
"It was a country on the west coast on our way back and forth. Because we couldn't understand their words, we took such a name from their voices. It was quite appropriate - we didn't have a home, and most of the time we came here and there.
They all live by plundering at sea.”
"So, Paranai is also the name of a country?"
"Exactly, this country is in the southeast of here. I don't understand the words, but it is the most hateful!" The man said, with an angry look on his face:
"That group of pirates is very powerful. They are all good at climbing and hewing ships. Each one has a machete. After catching a stranger, they not only rob him, but also disembowel him and gouge out his heart. What's worse, they use them for food.
There are two people who speak the same language as us, forget their ancestors and mix with them, and more than half of all the deplorable activities are their ideas."
As he spoke, he sent two sergeants to the spring to help them fetch clean water. Behind the wooden house, there were three or five rows of vegetables, which were so green and lovely. Two women were busy cooking and preparing vegetables to entertain us.
, because I promised to eradicate these pirates for them
Jiang Wanqing was also with them. While the two women were working, they looked at her carefully from time to time. Years of exposure to the sun had made their faces dark, unlike Jiang Wanqing's, whose skin could be broken by a blow, and her words were very interesting.
affectionate
It was mid-January. According to their calculations, the boat that brought rice and fish from home should be halfway there. We didn’t hesitate much, so we immediately lit up the boat and headed north. The ideal situation is to meet them halfway.
The most ideal situation is to encounter pirates who are robbing you at the same time.
This month is a period when the sea surface in the South China Sea is calm and the wind is light. One morning later, we encountered the most ideal situation.
From a distance, we saw a black shadow looming in the waves. We speeded up and rushed towards it.
But I saw that the black shadow was getting closer and closer. It was a dozen crescent-shaped boats with their heads raised. Four people were forced to squat on the stern of the two wooden boats that were surrounded and did not dare to move.
Figures were coming and going on each ship, carrying the things they had grabbed, wearing colorful clothes, and wrapping their heads with colorful cloth ribbons. Their dark faces and light-colored clothes formed a very obvious contrast. After seeing us, they suddenly separated from the pile of ships.
Six of them came out and rushed towards us with strange screams.
The visitor is unkind, so don't be polite. We rushed over. When the two sides met for the first time, a seven- or eight-step-long crescent boat was knocked over by us. Our sharp bow knocked a hole in the side of the boat.
Six or seven people all fell into the water
We didn't care about the man who fell into the water. The twelve long oars of the big boat rowed together, and soon overturned another one. The remaining four crescent boats did not retreat, and two of them threw a long long oar at us.
The rope flew over the wooden boat and fell into the water
Before they knew what was going on, two shirtless men on the crescent moon ship jumped into the water, grabbed the end of the rope, and pulled the rope with both hands alternately. Their bodies were so fast that they seemed to be leaving the water and heading straight towards our warship.
In the blink of an eye, we were close
A sergeant swung his knife to cut off the rope. This is the most common response when people are in a hurry. I shouted at him, "Don't cut! I'm worried that I can't catch it."
The two people grabbed the edge of the boat and jumped onto the deck. I had already dodged my body, and when I was in front of them, I passed by them. The two of them fell down with a thud, their eyes turned rapidly, but their bodies could not move at all.
Is the acupuncture method of martial arts the secret they imagined?
The people on the Crescent Moon boat were stunned for a moment, but I had six sergeants here. They quickly grabbed the rope, coiled it around the observation deck, and tied it in a tight knot.
Our warship did not stop, the rope was pulled straight, and the other end was tied to the bow of the crescent ship, and we were pulling it forward together.
I felt the warship suddenly pause, and the rope made a dull friction sound at the knot. I saw that the ship behind me had been upside down in the water, and the curved bottom of the ship was thrust into the water, increasing our resistance. I jumped
In the past, a sword cut off the rope and the ship, and then knocked the ship into pieces.
The remaining three crescent boats saw our power, and Zhong shouted, and a cold light fell from the sky. I shouted to the sergeant on the deck, "Quickly enter the warehouse, protect the lady" while I used my sword to make calls on the deck.
, dodging and jumping, with endless clanging sounds, a dozen scimitars fell on the deck, and some were inserted into the wood.
There were seven or eight crescent boats in the distance, and they were already turning around. The two hijacked wooden boats were sandwiched between them, and they were escaping to the northwest. Looking at the three crescent boats that just threw the knives, they also turned around.
He also took out an escape stance.
I stood on the bow of the boat and laughed. It turned out that the trick just now was to surrender the weapon in a bow, so we didn't need to take it away, we just came over.
Jiang Wanqing showed her face from the window of the observation deck, and I said to her, "Sister, you will be the one to direct the fight below." She pointed at a rat-jumping crescent boat not far away, "I want you to hit it!"
No problem, which one else should I hit?
Our big boat kept flying against the back of the crescent boat until it tilted and was half submerged in the water.
The fleeing boats in front had no intention of rescuing their companions who fell into the water. In the end, the two hijacked wooden boats gave up and ran away.
But I don't intend to let them go. It's all right to eliminate evil.
