According to them, if we go straight from Taiping Island to that "Borana" country, it will take three days and three nights at the scheduled speed, which is at least 1,500 miles.
Three families on Taiping Island also told us that this group of pirates from the Borneo Kingdom come and go without a trace. It seems that there is not much food and drinking water on the ship. Do they live without eating or drinking?
So, I planned to go to the southern sea area to conduct reconnaissance in a way I had never used before.
Early in the morning, we came to the forest where the three prisoners were tied and untied them from the tree. They had been tied in the forest all night. When we just untied them, everyone looked scared.
Several people went up and took off their clothes, leaving only a pair of underwear on each person. They tied them up and threw them into the grass.
I selected three sergeants of similar stature, changed their clothes, and each of them had a layer of colorful cloth wrapped around their heads. From a distance, they looked like dry red wooden corks.
Then, I handed the meniscus boat to them and asked them to practice its operation on the sea outside Taiping Island. I pretended that these three people were bandits from the Ng family.
When we were almost done practicing, our two boats set off and sailed slowly southward. The journey was not hurried and slow, but it felt a bit like sightseeing.
Jiang Wanqing and I boarded another ordinary fishing boat. The girl I rescued last time was responsible for rowing the boat for us. There were two boats, one in front and one behind. It gave people the impression that they were a bit nondescript at first glance.
From Taiping Island to the south, there are many small islands, some dotted with trees, and seabirds appear in the forest.
After we had sailed a hundred miles, we stopped going south and circled an unknown island, playing the game of pirates chasing good people.
Our ordinary fish boat was escaping in front, and three fake "ngsha" pirates behind us were chasing after them with their crescent boats. While chasing, they shouted, "Stop, you guys stop -"
On my side, I asked Jiang Wanqing and the girl to shout, "It's not good - it's robbery -". At first, Jiang Wanqing and the girl were too embarrassed to shout. After I mobilized them many times, "You guys
If you don’t scream, do you still want me to scream?” I finally tried to shout, and then shouted away.
The three sergeants behind were shouting fiercely, but the boat was sailing very well. I can’t praise it. It was swaying. It was really thundering and raining. I have never seen this. Pirates can’t outrun good people.
I said to them, "Sister, take a break and wait for the pirates."
We had no choice but to paddle out for a while and had to stop and wait for them. The girl put down the oar and stood on the bow of the boat and shouted loudly, "It's not good - it's robbery -" and looked at the "pirates" behind it.
"It was getting closer in a swaying way, then got up and rocked for a while.
After we finished circling this island, we circled around that island for a while. This was what we did for half the day. Later, when the girl got tired, Jiang Wanqing said, "How about, sister, let me try?"
The girl handed the oar into her hand, stood next to her, and taught her how to row. After a while, Jiang Wanqing was out of breath, and when she shouted, she felt like running away. Well, this time it's a bit interesting, no.
As for being so fake
Later, everyone took a look and found that we had been playing here for such a long time, and there was not even a trace of a pirate. Moreover, everyone was tired. We discussed whether we should go back and look at the sky. I also had the intention to go back.
I originally imagined that since these pirates can come and go quickly and do not bring food or water with them, they must have some stronghold in the nearby waters. Today, I saw that there is no one nearby. Then, tomorrow, I will go somewhere else to see it.
look
I don't think there is anything wrong with this kind of reconnaissance method. First, we have few ships. Only one of the two ships is a "good citizen". If there are really pirates, we will not make the other party feel nervous through the formation.
We can come out as boldly as possible. Secondly, even if we come out, looking at our situation, there are only three people and two women. There will not be too many ships. We can escape calmly.
The three sergeants followed us listlessly, and the two ships were more than thirty steps apart. Jiang Wanqing said to me, "Brother, if pirates are like the three of them, then..." She turned around when she came.
Looking in the direction, "Brother, they are coming!"
Behind the meniscus ship, a ship followed quietly. It was a circle larger than the meniscus ship. The tip of the bow and stern was smaller than that of the meniscus ship. It looked like standing on top of a sliced honeydew melon.
With four people and one person rowing the boat, the bow of the crescent boat is connected to the stern.
Jiang Wanqing poked the girl, and the two of them shouted at the top of their lungs: "It's not good—it's robbery—" The girl shook up the boat and ran away, using all her strength.
The sergeant at the back was bored. He had been pretending to be a pirate all day, but always kept "good people" waiting. It was very shameful. Suddenly he heard someone shouting again and felt something was wrong. He looked back and immediately started rocking the boat harder.
He also shouted while rocking the boat, "Stop - you guys stop for me -"
After dozens of miles of water, and returning to the girl's boating skills, Taiping Island soon appeared in our sights
I looked behind and saw that the crescent boat had merged with the ship. There was a man standing on the bow of the ship, gesticulating and saying something to the three sergeants.
After a while, the two boats were chasing us together. The sergeants were chasing us and shouting, "Stop--robbery--" shouting fiercely. After a while, they fell behind the honeydew melon again. Damn it, I did it again.
Take the oil
Our boat ran in circles along the coast of Taiping Island. The two women were still running and shouting, intending to send messages to the people on the island.
Honeydew was chasing after them, and we led them around the island for a full circle. By the time of the second circle, the two boats had already joined each other.
The four people above laughed loudly and said something we couldn't hear clearly, but one person was also shouting, but I heard it clearly, "Stop! Two girls, haha, where can you escape?" I think this person must have
That's what the people on the island said. One of the two people who had forgotten their ancestors looked ahead and saw that we had almost caught up with the butt of the crescent ship. They simply stopped and turned around to look at us.
The coast here is covered with trees, and some of them have stretched their trunks to the sea. The pursuers behind saw the crescent boat in front, and seemed to be quite satisfied with the three sergeants' plan. The man in the boat behind shouted, "
Yes, just intercept them from the front and see where they escape!"
The crescent boat turned around and rowed back again
While he was enjoying himself, four rope nooses suddenly flew out from the jungle on the shore. They were catching the four people without leaning to either side. There was a shout in the forest, the noose was stretched, and the four people left the cantaloupe cabin almost at the same time.
, flew into the dense forest, only to hear a crackling and flapping sound inside, but no movement.
There was only one person left on the cantaloupe boat. He stood motionless in shock, counting five people, and shouted frantically to the three sergeants who caught up, "Brothers, come and help!"
"Okay!" The three sergeants approached the boat, jumped on the cantaloupe, kicked the man down, and tied him up tightly while he was stunned.
The next day, I plan to play the game of two pirate ships chasing a good citizen ship again.
