One afternoon when he was four years old, Li Tianyang happened to come home from school, and saw a group of black girls from outside the village from a distance. Halfway through, the two sides met, and it turned out that his father Li De had returned from going to sea with everyone.

I had never seen my father so embarrassed, wearing a cleanly washed shirt when he went out, and now he had become a beggar's outfit, full of holes, revealing his bronzed skin, and in some places there were hideous and terrible scars, some of which were old and overwhelmed, and some of which had just been bruised, and the flesh was flying and showing a trace of blood. My father's face is not very good, usually there is always a trace of healthy ruddy on his face, but now even the bronzed complexion inevitably shows a wisp of paleness, and he walks not like the usual dragon and tiger walk before, as if stepping on cotton, a little light and fluttering.

The many subordinates who followed behind him were also silent, Second Uncle Gan and them all had a trace of sadness on their faces, and the whole team looked a little heavy. At the back of the line, everyone carried a dozen improvised stretchers, some of them lying on them groaning in pain, and some of them remained motionless, like dead pigs.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you hurry up and get back to me!! "My father, who has always loved him, lost his temper for the first time, and his words were full of anger, but it was difficult to hide a trace of powerlessness.

That night, there were deafening cries from many families in the village, and the ~~ cries of adults, children, and the elderly echoed over the quiet village at night, and could not be calmed down for a long time. After that, his father did not come home for several nights, and his grandmother and mother did not return to their usual peace, and the whole house was filled with a strong sense of solemnity.

Brother Shi also ran outside the house more often, and every time he went out, he took a lot of money from home, and he inevitably came with sadness. It wasn't until seven days later that his father, Li De, returned home, and he learned something from the conversation between his father and his grandmother behind closed doors.

It turned out that his father had been doing business for nothing, and they were all a group of pirates who ate by the sea. Usually they are a group of honest fishermen or farmers, but when they go to sea as a group, they become the feared pirates of the maritime merchants.

They never brought back to the village what they had looted, and every time they had a harvest, they quietly went outside the port of Quanzhou and sold it to a shop that they often helped them sell their stolen goods. So basically no one knows that a group of vicious pirates at sea can be a group of honest farmers. They also never drove their warships back to the small port outside the village, and each time they hid them in a hidden place before they returned, and returned with two old fishing boats.

No wonder his family is not a landlord's house, but he has a lot of money, and he has so many uncles and uncles at every party; No wonder their family's reputation in the village is so high, which family has any contradictions, his father's words are more correct than those in the village, and the village chief's words are effective.

It turned out that the people in the village knew what their father was doing, but they didn't dare to say it clearly. How so? More than 100 people are from the village, and no one has a relative in it. Besides, they went out and made money, and the profits were not from the village. The strong laborers who go to sea are no longer engaged in farming, and the farm work at home is not contracted out to be planted by their relatives in the village, and everyone's life is much better. In this regard, the villagers who have always known how to calculate can see it.

Father, although they are thieves, they are not the kind of pirates who kill innocents indiscriminately, they generally only rob money and do not kill people, unless the other party desperately resists, otherwise they will not be the cold-blooded people for no reason. Therefore, their reputation and fame among the pirates in this area are quite good, and when the maritime merchants in the past meet them, although they will feel sorry for their goods, they will also let go of their worries, and they will not lose their lives. What's more, after dealing with Li De and them more times, he can only give some money every time, and he can pass with peace of mind, and his people and property can be guaranteed.

This time I went to sea, it was smooth sailing, I caught two small boats running near the sea, the goods were not much, and they were not very valuable, so they took the goods and released them according to the old rules. When I was about to return home, I ran into a big fish, and a three-masted ship of about 1,000 materials went down from north to south, and they happened to hit it. It is estimated that it is the first time to deal with Li De and them, or it may be that the materials on the ship are too valuable, and the people on the other side of the boat are resisting to the death, Li De and their two ships have not been beaten down for half a day, and they have also lost several brothers for this.

Looking at a few brothers who were hanging colors, Li De, who hadn't gnawed hard bones for a long time, was ruthless, and personally took the lead, and finally led someone to press the lucky boat, and he was about to eat this fat meat in his mouth. I didn't think about it, it took too much time to be desperately tried by this lucky ship, and this is a trade route to the south, which is not too far from Quanzhou City, and the Ming Dynasty sailors also patrol around from time to time. It happened that a team of sailors was near this that day, and they found the vision of fighting at sea, and hurried to support, which surprised both sides of the fighting.

Li De and the others were of course frightened, and it was okay for a bunch of brave farmers to bully and bully the common people, but which was the opponent of a group of professional soldiers, they could only stop on the spot, jump back to their own warship, and slip away, and even the corpses of their brothers who fell on the Fu boat had no time to recover. And the lucky ship saw that there was a rescuer, and they were all relieved, and they could finally save their lives, but the owner of the lucky ship hated Li De for the losses they brought to him, and shouted to the crew, wanting to delay time, so that the sailors behind him could exterminate the pirate, in order to vent the anger in his heart, but unfortunately the seafarers were also afraid of death, and they couldn't work hard, so Li De and them could easily escape.

However, the sailor team still chased Li De and their fleet for nearly 10 nautical miles, and after several battles on the way, Li De escaped from the pursuit of the sailor by virtue of his familiarity with the surrounding environment. After all, the sailors are all serious warships, and Li De and them are all civilian ships converted from warships, and the speed and firmness are comparable to other people's professional ones, and in the end, there are still more than 10 personal losses.

When they went out, there were hundreds of brothers, but when they came back, they came back with wounded and corpses lying unable to move, and only about 80 returned. This time it really beat Li De to the bone marrow, there has never been such a big casualty, usually at most it is an occasional loss of two, this time there are no more than 20 brothers at once, and anyone will feel sad. Besides, this is all local to the village, everyone lives together, and this kind of thing makes everyone how to get along in the future.
