It seemed as if Jiang Xinyu would be the first to charge forward at the slightest command from Song Chenghou.
Song Chenghou glanced at him, but did not dampen his enthusiasm, and asked Jiang Xinyu:
"What is our purpose today?"
Jiang Xinyu was taken aback. "Repel the bandits and protect the abbot, disciples, fisherwoman, and child?"
Song Chenghou, unsure whether to grant his request, gave the answer: "We must ensure that our people are unharmed."
They also wanted to use those who ambushed them as bargaining chips.
Jiang Xinyu was puzzled. "Bargaining chips? Didn't our ship go out to sea to rescue people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized what Song Chenghou meant by reminding him.
His face turned pale and then red, feeling ashamed of his naive thoughts.
"My third brother and the others didn't expect this either. There's no need for the salary surplus to be like this."
I am telling you this because I believe you can play a coordinating role in it.
After all, our remaining main force consists of your men.
Jiang Xinyu had just gotten up when Song Chenghou encouraged him, reigniting his fighting spirit.
"Yes, I will follow the young master's arrangements."
Seeing this, Qin Shan nodded gratefully to Song Chenghou.
Song Chenghou nodded in response and quickly made arrangements.
Several heads collided quickly.
Back in the Song family tent, Song Chengxin asked warily, "Brother, is something the matter?"
Unless it's something important, I rarely see my brother with such a look on his face.
Song Chenghou glanced at Wen Shishi and gently squeezed her small hand.
The little one moved his hands and feet, sucked on his lips, and then fell soundly asleep again.
Song Chenghou's heart softened for a moment, and then he realized...
Since the raid on my home, I have witnessed a great deal of the darkness of human nature.
Even after reaching the island, there were still many difficulties.
Although they can cope, they inevitably become exhausted.
Since the arrival of my younger sister Wen Shishi, it's not just because of the surprises and discoveries she brings...
Her cuteness and childlike innocence often brought smiles to his and his brothers' faces.
Despite days of hunger and cold, being caught in a typhoon, being dragged to the mountains, and enduring a series of hardships...
There was no peace for even a moment.
But as long as you hold your little one, or hear her sweetly call you "Big Brother," and feel her trust and dependence...
Negative energy that has not yet accumulated in one's heart will be quickly cleared away.
Just like now, just looking at her beauty, at her adorable sleeping face, her chubby, fair little hands...
Song Chenghou's earlier hostility vanished without a trace.
He wanted to end all of this as soon as possible so that Shishi and her brothers could live a peaceful life.
He's held all his younger brothers, but not Shishi...
It's because he's grown up, and the feeling of holding a child is different from when he was a child himself...
Or is it because Shishi is Shishi, and her unique cuteness and charm make everyone love her so much?
Without time to investigate further, Song Chenghou quickly gathered his younger brother together.
A few people whispered a few words and quickly slipped into the fishermen's and fisherwomen's tents to give them a heads-up.
Moments later, two groups of bandits appeared around the tent.
He was bare-chested, holding a long knife, and looked like a fierce demon.
They lined up in a row, guarding the paths on both sides of the tent.
On the other two sides, one is a collapsed temple, and the other is the sea.
The fact that they made no attempt to conceal themselves or launch a sneak attack suggests that they were certain the other party had nothing to rely on and was therefore fearless.
When Song Chenghou went out of the tent, his younger brothers stopped him, vying to get out...
Finally, the ninth brother, who knew kung fu, was left in the tent, while the slightly smaller seventh brother, Song Chengyao, went out with him.
When Jiang Xinyu came out with Qin Shan, the bandits showed their delight and exchanged glances.
Following Song Chenghou's instructions, the fishermen stayed with the fisherwomen and children.
Niu Erhua pretended to be frightened. After coming out of the tent, she timidly hid behind Song Chenghou and Song Chengyao.
As soon as she appeared, the thugs opposite her burst into lewd laughter, their faces revealing greed.
"Hey! Surrender obediently, and we might spare your lives!"
The person who shouted had an accent, but Song Chenghou and the others could still hear him clearly.
The pronunciation is similar to that of the fishermen on the island.
With Song Chenghou and others present, Niu Erhua did not speak without permission.
The Jiang family's men who had been patrolling outside, along with the monks who were cooking, pretended to be frightened...
The monks were persuaded by Song Chenghou to return to their tents.
As soon as I entered, I saw Jiang's men scattered and hiding at the tent entrances...
Be ready to attack at any time.
Seeing this, the bandits moved forward a few steps on each side.
Jiang's men feigned fear and drew the swords and knives Qin Shan had brought back with him...
He shouted at the bandits, "Don't come any closer!"
His tense and fearful appearance made the bandits burst into laughter.
The stalemate lasted less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea; the bandits seemed to realize that their opponents were utterly powerless to resist...
They stood still and began discussing the distribution of the prisoners.
"Brother, I think that girl is pretty, could you give her to me?"
