"Fine, ......"

It seems that the fine boy floating in the air heard this call in a daze, and wanted to go back to see who was calling him, but no matter whether it was consciousness or any part of the body, he didn't listen to the call, and could only feel that the whole person seemed to be flying higher and higher. Suddenly, he only felt a sharp pain from somewhere on his body, and immediately exhaled in pain, followed by the whole person suddenly falling from a high altitude. Almost after a thrill, he opened his eyes suddenly, only to be forced to squint again by the blinding light.

After a long while, he became familiar with the change in light, and then he saw several people around him, one of whom was holding a long thing in his hand, which looked like some kind of needle. He shuddered all of a sudden, and when he tried to get up, he moved slightly and had no strength, so he could only stammer, "You guys...... Who are you? ”

"Are you still hungry?" Wang Fulin held a bowl of fish soup in his hand, as if he was treating those hungry kittens, and said with a smile, "Do you want to eat more?" ”

Only then did Xi Zai come back to his senses, and when his nose caught the indescribable aroma, he didn't know where the strength came from, so he suddenly sat up, snatched the bowl in Wang Fulin's hand, and drank it in a big gulp. Probably because the temperature of the soup was just right, and the fish bones were filtered out, it was so delicious that he drank it in one go, and he only felt that it was more delicious than anything he had ever eaten! After a little recovery, he put down the bowl and glanced at Wang Fulin who was smiling and moaning in front of him again, and then found that the needle he had seen before was missing. Several other figures around him seemed to have left.

Now there are fewer people. He was at ease. At that moment, he licked his lips, which were still a little chapped, and asked in a low voice, "Where am I?" ”

"It's still in your fishing village, this is Old Man Fu's house." Seeing that Xi Zai's shoulders twitched, and his face showed a hesitant expression, Wang Fulin smiled and comforted, "It's okay, Old Man Fu has been cleaned up by me now, let him go east." He did not dare to go west, let him stand, he did not dare to sit. Old man Fu, don't you say? ”

Old man Fu was pushed forward by Lu Guangwu, and when he saw Wang Fulin turning his head and glancing at himself, he immediately thought that in the process of rescuing Xizai before, he and the other three almost had to draw lots to decide who would sink into the sea first, where did he dare to question Wang Fulin's words, and quickly nodded and said: "Yes, yes, you are here to raise Xizai." Eat whatever you like, I'll have someone make it for you. If you don't, you go to the sea to fish......"

I hope these evil stars can let him go to the sea, and then it will be his world!

Wang Fulin didn't wait for Old Man Fu to finish speaking, and hinted that Lu Guangwu had dragged people away. When he turned around and saw the confusion on his face, but there was also a faint sense of relief, he smiled and chatted with him. He successively took in Jinbao and Qiu Feng, used Ye Qinglong, and also took in Shuerhaqi in Liaodong, and brought back Wang Siming, and now there is a Chen Bingchang by his side, and he can be said to be very clear about the psychology of children and young men. Therefore, after his unusually cordial conversation, the little boy ate two more delicious snacks that he had never tasted before, and the look of vigilance on the little one's face was greatly reduced.

At this time, seeing that the time had completely arrived, Wang Fulin asked about the accident at sea.

At the mention of the old things, the fine boy's teeth chattered, but because he instinctively felt that Wang Fulin was not malicious, and he was extremely kind to himself, he still tried to calm down, and his mouth was almost squeezed out word by word. The initial description is very similar to the description of Wang Fulin from Xu Xiucai and Old Man Fu. But as he spoke, he keenly discovered a detail.

"Before you get them out of the sea, are you sure there's a small overturned sampan not far away?"

"Hmmm! The weather was nice that day, my eyes were good, I couldn't be wrong! ”

No wonder, I thought that those Franco-Robot people were not a fish, how could they have been adrift at sea for so long, it turned out that the ships had been prepared for the reception a long time ago. It is not known how it could have been just a small sampan and then reduced to the point of robbing fishermen's boats.

Thinking of this, Wang Fulin thought of the little guy's previous tragic situation, so he said thoughtfully: "How did you think of going to Xin'an County to complain?" ”

"It's Fu Gong......" Although Fu Gong was very kind just now, for the eldest and most vicious old man in the fishing village, Xi Zai still had palpitations, and his voice became like a mosquito, "He said that this matter still has to be reported to the government, and said that Tang County Zun in the county government is a good person, seeing that I have no father and no mother, how can I not let me run empty-handed, and I will definitely give some money." ”

"But as soon as the money arrived, it was taken away by Old Man Fu, right?"

Wang Fulin saw the fine boy but also deliberately took a look, and saw that the old man Fu was not there, so he quickly nodded, and he smiled: "By the way, they all call you the careful boy, what is your big name?" ”

Xizai was a little surprised, but still said honestly: "My uncle also gave birth to an older brother for me, so my parents called me Xizai, but my brother died of illness in his early years, and I don't have a big name, I only know the surname Kong." ”

In the Cantonese dialect, most parents are not called parents as parents as in other places, but they are called parents like the habit of later generations, which Wang Fulin knows. And if the people in the countryside do not know how to read, most of them are very casual in choosing names, and this has been the case until the new century, let alone now. However, at this time, he thought about the ranking of the fine boy at home, and suddenly laughed dumbly, isn't this Kong Lao Er? Seeing that the little guy didn't seem to think that there was any shame in not having a big name, he thought about it and asked again: "Old man Fu took the burned silver from the elders of your family, but he didn't care whether you lived or died, and the rest of the village didn't say a word of justice?" ”

"Everyone is too poor...... "Xizai's face was angry, then he was a little gloomy, and his teeth bit his lip tightly, "Fu Gong is the richest person in the village, and others can't afford to support me." I had nowhere to reason, so I wanted to go to the city to find work, but Fu Gong was afraid that people would recognize me, so he ......"

It turned out that the old man Fu was afraid that someone would recognize Xi Zai as the bitter master of the previous case of the murder of fishermen, and found that the twenty taels of silver that Tang County had paid for by his kindness had fallen into someone else's pocket, so he not only took away people's silver. Why don't you let people go into the city to find another way to live?

Wang Fulin's eyes flashed with murder. Then he continued to ramble as if nothing had happened. Phrases from the mouth of the little boy. Facts have proved that although he is only an eight or nine-year-old child, after he repeatedly released his kindness and subdued the notorious old man Fu in the fishing village, Xi Zai trusted him quite a lot, and poured out all the things he knew, including the fact that the old man's son did have a boat, but it was only slightly more decent than those boats in the fishing village. And there are not dozens of people under his hands at all, but only seven or eight of them, and it is indeed possible to come back in the next few days.

After confirming the matter again and again, he instructed Chen Bingchang, who had already woken up, to take care of the little guy a little, and went to Lu Guangwu to discuss with Zheng Ming first. Soon, the two of their attendants ran around a small fishing village, and each family gave two taels of silver. I heard that there was a strong man from outside who detained Old Man Fu and wanted to negotiate a big deal with Old Man Fu's son Fu Xiong, so I hope they won't leave the house in the next two days, and the families don't dare to resist. After all. Before, after taking down Old Man Fu, Lu Guangwu had already sent two horseback attendants to watch the seaside and other entrances and exits. For fear of leaking the news, and now he is sealing his mouth with money, who dares to have two words?

Even the three people who were held by Wang Fulin and others, their families did not ask a word more. Of course, there is not only one pirate in the village, but also several who follow Fu Xiong to the sea to beg for a living, in this kind of poor place, the law of the jungle is undoubtedly the only law. Wang Fulin and the others were able to casually take the old man Fu and the three people who helped him at home, who would dare to touch the stones with eggs?

Because he brought a lot of dry food and dried meat when he came, plus snacks, oil and rice stored by the Fu family, and dried seafood, Wang Fulin calculated, enough for a large group of people to wait here for five or six days, and immediately hung a piece of clothing on a dead old tree by the sea according to Old Man Fu, and began to wait patiently for the legendary pirate ship.

However, he doesn't care about other hardships, but the most inconvenient thing here is bathing and changing. He had prepared a change of clothes, but this was the only fresh water well in this fishing village, which was very precious, and it was naturally impossible to bathe every day. And this is different from when he traveled to Liaodong in winter, when it was cold and he didn't need to take a bath often, but the weather in Guangdong was hot and humid, even if there was a sea breeze by the sea, he often felt sticky.

The only fortunate thing is that the thatched hut and shack of the Fu family is indeed the strongest in the fishing village, even if there were two rains during the period, there was no leakage and stagnant water.

In this way, I waited for three whole days, and in the evening of this day, the sun was setting in the west, and the sunset was like blood, and a Lu family servant who was watching the wind from a big tree in the fishing village suddenly slipped into the shack and said bluntly: "There is a ship on the sea coming this way, it is a white boat, and people can be faintly seen on the bow. ”

Lu Guangwu knew that his servant's eyesight was excellent, so he immediately looked at the old man Fu who was firmly under his control, and said word by word: "If you played any tricks before and scared your son away, then don't want your old life." ”

"Yes, please rest assured." When the old man Fu said this, he was really worried in his heart - he was afraid that his son would have something wrong, so he sailed back halfway; I am afraid that the manpower brought by my son will not be strong enough, and when the time comes, I will be taken down by a few fierce gods here; And I'm afraid that when the time comes, there will really be a big war between the two sides, and he will be implicated - the reason why he stays alone in this fishing village where he wants nothing is not because he wants to be stable, he is old and spares his life, plus he leaves a back road for his son to hide things? Fortunately, these guys didn't ask him where the cellar where the stolen goods were, otherwise he wouldn't have told his son the code to communicate with him!

Old man Fu didn't know that Lu Guangwu's previous intimidation was just a show. It's not the first time that Old Man Fu has taken Fu Xiong back, and there will be people in this fishing village who don't know that Old Man Fu's simple passwords can't be true? After all, there is such a small inner should!

The fishing village is directly opposite a beach, but less than a mile away there is a small bay with deep water for dhows. When the boat came to a halt in the night, someone took the plank from the boat, and the first two carefully removed a suitcase, followed by two more empty-handed. The last person to get off the boat had a deep scar on his forehead, and his waist was bulging, as if he was hiding something, but he turned his head and said to the two people left on the boat: "Be careful, especially those two red-haired devils, I will send someone back to replace you at dawn!" ”

The man with the scar on his forehead is Fu Xiong, the son of Old Man Fu. He had asked another boat he knew to send news to his home before, and at this time, he felt hot at the thought of being able to enter Xin'an County and indulge in the women of the other houses who had been quietly accepted in the county seat. Not only him, but also the subordinates behind him were all elated. Since the islands along the coast that were once occupied by pirates, such as South Australia, have been swept over and over again by the official army, they are mostly scattered and change places with one shot, although they plus those smugglers also have a few recognized bases, but it is difficult for women to talk about it.

On the contrary, their own village became the best place to hide their stolen goods and supplies, and no one would be stupid enough to use their original names when they were doing that at sea anyway!

"In the early years, when those Australian islands were prosperous, those guys took their families over, who would have thought that the wind direction would turn so fast later, and in the blink of an eye, it would be served by people, and these years have been unlucky."

"What I said is that it has become more and more difficult to mix in the past few years, and if it continues like this, we will stop for a few years. There are many fields on the side of Xiangshan, and there are many villages, which is the most suitable for settlement. ”

"Speaking of Xiangshan, I heard that there are big changes over there, maybe we can make some money together and make a fortune?"

Hearing your subordinates, you and me, and even some people whimsically wanted to go to Haojing to get a vote, Fu Xiong scoffed. What kind of virtue is it not to pee on yourself, and those things controlled by wealthy merchants will allow them pirates to get a piece of the pie? Not to mention anything else, those big Chaozhou households and smuggling boats, although there are many goods on board, but it is not easy to deal with, every ship has a good or bad artillery at the head, sometimes there are muskets, the crew and sailors are not afraid of death, like them, they can only target some small smugglers, if it is not for this windfall, how can they have the confidence to return home?

Seeing that the village was getting closer and closer, the smoke was curling, and the dogs were barking, Fu Xiong couldn't help but speed up his pace, as did several of his subordinates. But when his shack was only twenty or thirty paces away, he stopped suddenly, and then pressed one hand on the steel knife at his waist.

Something is wrong, absolutely not right! You must know that the old man has hired three or four people in the village, and when he gets the news of his return, he will send someone to keep an eye on the sea.

"Brother Xiong?"

"Let's go!"

Fu Xiong burst out a word straightforwardly, turned around and ran away. However, he had just run out a few steps before he saw that the way had been blocked by a heroic man! (To be continued.) )
