Chapter 510 You have a bump on your head
Pirates live in groups, and the old and the young entering the arena were like tigers among a flock of sheep.
Catch one and you can kill a whole nest.
After an hour of hard work, they returned home with a full load. The big cloth bag that the old man brought with him was filled to the brim.
"I didn't expect the pirates to have so many goodies, gold, silver, jewelry, silk, and fine wine... It's a pity the place is so big, and we haven't killed many pirates in all this time." The old man was still not satisfied. "The ghost market will open tomorrow night. Let's rest for a night, and continue robbing the rich and giving to the poor the night after tomorrow!"
Tianbao took the bag from the old man's shoulder, threw it on his shoulder, and nodded.
The old man laughed strangely, "Hey, you naughty girl, why do you look more and more pleasing to grandpa's eyes?"
The wind was strong at night, and the wind blowing in my face brought with it the unique smell of sea water, damp and salty.
In the middle of August, the air was already chilly, and wearing thin clothes would give one goose bumps on one's arms.
The poisonous old man shuddered and sniffed. "It smells like salted fish... Strange, why does it seem like I've smelled this smell a long time ago? Not just two years ago, but even longer ago!"
Tian Bao tilted her head when she heard this and said, "I seem to have smelled this smell a long time ago."
"Look, look, what did the old man just say? No wonder he likes you more and more, this is like-minded! Birds of a feather flock together! Hehehe!"
Although the old man's laughter was strange, the joy in it was very contagious, and Tianbao smiled along with him.
After the two left, in a corner of the South Island, the pirates who were lying on the ground pretending to be dead got up and ran to tell each other.
"Hurry and inform the pirates! Two powerful demons have arrived on the island. They're incredibly skilled and are specifically targeting the pirates!"
"Boss, we must find a way. That old man said he'll come back in two days! We worked so hard to rob things, but in the end, everything became theirs. Who among us brothers would want to continue doing this?"
"Gather all the pirate leaders, we have something important to discuss! If we delay for a few more days, our nest will be taken over by someone else! Damn it, where the hell are they coming from?"
…
It was quiet in the cabin on Northwest Island.
When Tianbao and the old man came back, they deliberately walked lightly so as not to wake up Aunt Lu.
When the woman lay down, Madam Lu's eyelids moved, and finally she fell into a deep sleep as if she had given up.
When she woke up in the morning and went out to continue fishing, Nanny Fang discovered that many fishermen pretending to pass by appeared at the door of her house. In a short while, they passed by her three or four times, and their eyes were very strange when they looked at her.
How do you describe that look?
His eyes lit up as if he was looking at something rare. He wanted to get closer, but he was also hesitant.
Madam Lu swallowed her saliva and hesitantly asked the woman with the headscarf she was most familiar with, "Why are you standing at my door instead of going to work? Is there something wrong?"
The woman's eyes widened in surprise, "Mammy, you don't know?"
"Know what?"
"Last night, last night in our village, silver fell from every household in the middle of the night! So much silver! I saw last night, Tianbao and her poisonous grandfather went—" the woman pointed to the south, "to rob over there, no, to rob the rich and give to the poor!"
Madam Lu, “…”
Is it really robbing the rich to help the poor?
She pursed her lips and burst out laughing.
The next moment, the hesitant fishermen rushed up and surrounded her, talking excitedly.
The nanny was stuck in the middle and couldn't move even a step. She turned around to ask Tianbao and the old man for help, but she saw that the old man and the young man had quietly floated away for a long distance.
“…”
One side is excited and happy, while the other side is suffering.
Tianbao is stubborn and will do something from beginning to end.
Half a month later.
The old man successfully made the ice cream.
The pirates in South Island were almost wiped out by Tianbao.
The fishermen got back double the money and property that had been looted by pirates over the years.
After nightfall, the old man and Tianbao came to the South Island again and stood on the high reef looking down.
When they came here on the first day, the wooden poles below, the corners of the shed, and the entrance to the stone cave were all hung with lanterns for lighting.
During the parade again today, the lanterns have become sparse, barely enough to be counted in the palm of your hand.
The poisonous old man sighed, "They can't stand a beating, they really can't stand a beating. They all ran away after just a few beatings. They can't even catch up to a finger of the white kid. Humph!"
Tian Bao's heart skipped a beat for some unknown reason. "Little Bai? Who?"
The old man was bewildered. "Ah? What white boy? I don't know him."
As the four of them exchanged glances, someone below them held a lantern and raised it high to peer at where the two men were standing. A moment later, the lantern flicked open and cursed, "Damn it! Those two evil spirits are here again! Brothers, run! We can't stay in this rotten place anymore! Get out!"
Following the pirate's loud shout, dozens of figures appeared from all corners, crawling and rolling, shouting and cursing as they ran towards the darkness in the distance.
"Are you still human? Even if you want to rob other thieves, don't just grab one sheep and try to plunder it! Damn it!"
"Come on, come on! If you have the guts, keep coming this way! I'm not going to play with you anymore! Drive all the pirates away and see where else you can get the wool from!"
"You're relying on your superior skills to bully the weak! Bah! If you have the guts, go rob a passing merchant ship! In ten days, a merchant ship will pass by the island. Let us all see what you can do! If you don't have the guts, just admit that you are also cowards and scoundrels!"
The old man stood with his hands on his hips, watching the group of people fleeing. He spat back, "If you have the guts, don't run! You're trying to provoke your grandfather, but these are all his leftovers! Humph!"
After cursing, and with no one in front of him, the old man immediately complained to the woman beside him, "Tianbao, they've gone too far. They're setting me up for a fight! If a merchant ship really comes, and I don't rob it, wouldn't I be admitting I'm a coward?!"
"..." Tian Bao's mouth twitched, "You knew it was a trap, but you still jumped?"
"Grandpa can't admit that he is cowardly!" The old man blinked pitifully.
Tian Bao turned his head away, unable to bear to look, and sighed, "When the boat comes, I'll take you to play on a boat."
"Attack the ship? Not rob?"
"Mammy has always wanted to save money to send us back to the Central Plains. If there are any merchant ships passing by, maybe we can catch a ride."
"Why would you go back to the Central Plains when you're having so much fun here? I can't even remember where I used to live... No, I have to go back. I still have to find my sweet baby! Remember to apply the ice cream I gave you every day, don't scare my granddaughter!"
"Mammy said you had a bump on your head, but I won't bother with you."
"..." Got a bump on your head? Wait, I'll fix it myself! When the bump is healed, I'll beat you up!
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it’s September in a blink of an eye.
The pirates on South Island have all fled, but the whole island seems more lively than before.
The fishermen talk and laugh every day, their happiness comes from the heart, and when they smile, it seems as if they are glowing.
With no one to rob, the old man began to roam around the island, looking for herbs to treat the swelling on his head.
Tianbao calculated the time and on the second day of September, he started sitting on a high place by the sea to enjoy the wind.
