Chapter 43: Pirates (Part 2) Pirates (Part 2)

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Screams of terror rang out one after another.

It turned out that the pirate had hit a crew member with a knife, and the wooden stick in the crew member's hand was split into two halves. What was even more terrifying was that a blood mark appeared from his forehead to his chest, and his expression was frozen in fear.

"Hahaha!" Amidst the shouts of horror from the crowd, the pirate laughed heartily, holding the bloody long knife, and looked at the others with a pair of sinister eyes.

The crew member died so tragically that the rest of the crew, servants and guards were trembling with fear. Some of them even fell to the ground and refused to show their heads again, wishing they could hide in the cabin.

From Su Fengzhang's perspective, he could clearly see the dead crew member. His eyes were wide open, his face twisted with pain, and blood was oozing out of his body like it was free, staining the deck red.

A deep fear struck his heart. Su Fengzhang had never experienced such cruelty.

The battles in the business world were once cold-blooded and ruthless, but those were bloodless killings, disguised as civilization.

But now, a living life was slowly disappearing before his eyes, in such a brutal and primitive way. The bloody scene made him realize the cruelty of cold weapons and how vulnerable human life seemed.

Su Fengzhang's body trembled slightly, his back felt cold, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.

"Go, let's go together and fight them." The guard Lao Wang was also a brave man. His right hand was covered in blood, but he gritted his teeth and rushed forward bravely with a long stick in his left hand.

The pirate sneered, not taking him seriously at all, "You guys go deal with the people in the cabin, I'll play with him."

It turned out that at the moment when the crew was terrified, two more pirates climbed up. After hearing this, they walked towards the cabin without saying a word. A frightened servant stood in the doorway, but was hit by a knife and his neck was broken in half.

In an instant, screams and cries filled the air. The people hiding in the cabin were powerless and were no match for the pirates.

Su Fengzhang and a few others happened to be blocking Mr. Wen's cabin, and their scalps were tingling at this moment.

They had no time to sympathize with those people because another pirate climbed up and rushed straight towards them.

"Don't be afraid, Erlang. With your uncle here, he will never let these pirates hurt you."

Uncle Su was usually just a simple and honest farmer, but at this moment he was like a mountain. He stood in front of Su Fengzhang, looking particularly tall. If his body had not been trembling slightly, others would have thought he was fearless.

Looking at Second Uncle Su, Su Fengzhang calmed down instead.

At this time, the pirate looked at them, his eyes fell on Su Fengzhang and Wen Zhu, and he moved slightly and then fixed on Su Fengzhang.

He sneered, raised his hand and swung a knife towards this side. The knife came whistling and was about to fall on Uncle Su.

Uncle Su roared suddenly, rolled over and bounced up, and hit the pirate in the stomach. It was obvious that his move was a fake, but his move was swift and fierce, and he completely disregarded his own life.

This actually caught the pirate off guard, and he was knocked back several steps. He fell to the ground and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Su Fengzhang quickly picked up the long knife and shouted, "Second Uncle, get out of the way!"

Uncle Su rolled over and exposed the pirate underground. The pirate was hit in the stomach and was in so much pain that he couldn't dodge the knife.

Su Fengzhang's sword strike was extremely powerful, but he was not used to cold weapons after all. He subconsciously avoided the vital parts when he attacked, and only hit the pirate's right arm, leaving half of his arm.

Blood splattered, and Su Fengzhang's heart trembled.

It's not his fault. The last time Yuexi Village was besieged by bandits, he also killed someone, but it was just a stab from the doorway. All you could hear was screams, but you couldn't see the person or blood. It was different from the direct and bloody impact now.

But the reality did not allow him to hesitate, and Su Fengzhang repeatedly shouted: "Second Uncle, come back quickly."

Uncle Su had just burst out with all the courage of his life, but now he felt his hands and feet go weak and he almost had to crawl back.

Wen Zhu, who was hiding behind Su Fengzhang, was still holding the jar with only half of the wine left. She was completely dumbfounded and just stood there.

Su Fengzhang grabbed his hand and whispered a few words, and Wenzhu nodded quickly.

The pirates on this side kept screaming. Seeing this, the pirates on the other side became furious and roared, "Third Brother!"

"Looking for death!" The pirate was completely enraged, and didn't want to continue teasing the guard Lao Wang who had injured his right hand. He forced him away with a knife and kicked him with his leg. Lao Wang fell to the ground and his life or death was unknown.

The pirate's fierce gaze fell on Su Fengzhang, with a malicious sneer on the corner of his mouth. He waved the long sword in his hand and rushed towards this side. Who knew that before he got close, a torch was thrown at him.

The pirate subconsciously pushed forward, but who knew that the next moment half a jar of wine would be poured on him, and a torch would be thrown at him from the other side.

He was very skilled and dodged everything except the water and wine, but the torch fell to the ground and ignited instantly. The flames quickly spread to him. The pirate screamed and quickly stripped off his clothes.

How could Su Fengzhang miss such a good opportunity? He stepped forward with a long sword in hand. Although the pirate dodged left and right, he was hit in the arm and thigh. What was even more terrifying was that Su Fengzhang's sword strikes were extremely powerful. His injuries were so serious that they had affected his movements.

"Dad!" Wenzhu's scream came from behind.

It turned out that while they were fighting, a pirate climbed up from the other side and had already sneaked into Mr. Wen's cabin. Wen Zhu found a wooden stick from somewhere and started beating him madly. He beat him without any method, which made the pirate so flustered that he couldn't move for a while.

Su Fengzhang attacked again with a knife and quickly turned around to save the man. At this time, the pirate had already cut off the long stick in Wenzhu's hand with a knife and pounced on him with a grin.

It was too late for Su Fengzhang to turn around and rescue him. He was so anxious that he shot out the long knife in his hand and hit the pirate's back directly. The pirate screamed and touched his back subconsciously, but when he looked down, he saw the tip of the knife sticking out of his chest.

"Bang!" It was Mr. Wen who grabbed a roll of bamboo slips and hit the pirate directly on the head.

That bamboo slip was Mr. Wen's treasure, an old item that he couldn't let go of. It was heavy and when it hit the pirate, he fell backwards, and it was not known whether he was stabbed to death or smashed to death.

"Sir, Wenzhu, are you okay?" Su Fengzhang asked repeatedly.

Wenzhu patted his chest and shouted, "I'm fine, I was just scared."

Looking at the bleeding pirate again, he felt that his father was usually quite gentle to him, at least he didn't use this thing to hit him.

Su Fengzhang drew out the long sword, thought for a moment, and handed the other one to Uncle Su. Wen Zhu's hands were shaking, and Mr. Wen had sprained his foot, so it was obvious that they were of no use.

Uncle Su was actually afraid too, but after all, he had experienced bandits attacking the ancestral hall, so he was able to remain calm at the moment.

Fortunately for them, there were not many pirates, and they ignored them because they found them to be a tough nut to crack.

However, sounds of fighting and crying could be heard from the other cabins. Seeing that people had died, the crew members and servants also risked their lives to fight to the death. They were in the majority and did kill two pirates, but the casualties were heavy.

There was also a scream from the cabin next door. Wen Zhu was startled and shouted, "It seems to be that Mr. Fang."

"I'll go out and take a look." Su Fengzhang frowned and said.

Uncle Su grabbed him and said, "Erlang, don't go."

"Uncle, we won't be safe unless we get rid of the pirates. Once they kill everyone else, they will focus on dealing with us." The pirates were not wearing masks, and it was obvious that they intended to leave no one alive.

Once they kill everyone else, there will only be four of them left and they will be no match for their opponent. It is better to give it a try now.

"Then I'll go with you." Uncle Su said again. After all, he had a knife.

"Yes, let your second uncle go with you, we can protect ourselves." Wen Zhu also shouted, picked up two sticks, and picked up an inkstone and stuffed it into Mr. Wen's hand.

The other cabin was also in a life-or-death crisis. Fang Linlang was a weak girl, and Fang Yu was a frail scholar. The only one who could help was the servant Xiao Yi.

When the pirates first boarded the ship, Fang Linlang was terrified, and Fang Yu even shouted, "Could it be..."

"Brother!" Fang Linlang came back to her senses after being called by him.

Xiao Yi stood guard at the door, holding a long stick, and shouted, "Master, Miss, don't worry, Xiao Yi won't let anyone hurt you."

If it was an ordinary house, closing the door might be able to block it, after all, the door is thick.

But the door of the boat was thin as a sheet, and the pirate kicked it in. When he saw the people inside, he laughed heartily and shouted, "So you're hiding here? Go to hell."

Fang Linlang was protected by Fang Yu, who shouted coldly, "Who are you? How dare you! My uncle is the prefect of Qingzhou. If you dare to hurt anyone, he will never let you go."

"Then it depends on whether you have the life to file a complaint." The pirate said nothing more, and started fighting with Xiao Yi with his sword.

Xiao Yi seemed to have some kung fu skills, but he was already at a disadvantage with only a wooden stick. Fang Yu plucked up his courage and grabbed a bench to help, but the two men were fighting in front of him and he didn't know where to hit them.

"Ah!" Xiao Yi screamed in pain. The wound on his shoulder was so deep that the bone was visible, but he still blocked the man tightly.

"Xiao Yi!" Fang Linlang screamed and grabbed the dressing box and threw it over.

Her actions woke Fang Yu up, and he grabbed the bench and smashed it around.

The pirate saw that his steps were unsteady, and knew that he was a weak scholar. He even dared to hit him with a bench. He swung the long sword in his hand and split the bench in half.

Fang Yu fell to the ground with a thud. Seeing the pirate coming down with a knife, he was unable to dodge.

"Brother." Fang Linlang screamed and threw herself on her brother, trying to block the knife for him.

At this moment, Xiao Yi hugged the pirate desperately and bit his neck hard, actually biting off a piece of raw flesh. The pirate touched his neck and slashed with a knife in his backhand, and finally threw the person behind him away.

"Puchi!" The sound of a single knife entering the flesh was heard. This time, the one who was hit by the knife was the pirate. It turned out that Su Fengzhang and the other man arrived in time. Seeing that the pirate was in a big flaw, they raised their hands and slashed with the knife, and blood splattered.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, three pirates came towards them. Su Fengzhang tensed up, knowing that this was going to be a fierce battle. Second Uncle Su fought alongside him, thinking that even if he died today, he had to protect his brother's bloodline.

At this moment, a burst of bow and arrow sounds came through the air and directly pierced the vests of those pirates.
