Manager Qin took half of his men with him, leaving the other half on the shore as guards.
"Remember, your ship capsized, you were stranded on this island, and these bandits discovered your identities and tried to kidnap you..."
Before setting off, Song Chenghou and Qin Shan rehearsed their lines: "This is your reason for escorting the bandits together with the fishermen..."
Qin Shan clasped his hands in gratitude, knowing that Song Chenghou wanted to use the Jiang family to put pressure on the prefect...
The governor was instructed to restrain the bandits.
At the same time, he did not want the governor to suspect the Chiang family's motives, which would affect future business.
As for the two bandits who were detained, there was no need for Song Chengfeng to prepare an antidote...
The eighth and tenth brothers each carried two buckets of seawater and took turns splashing the two men.
After being splashed several times, the two finally regained consciousness, as if they were drowning.
He got up and looked around, only to find his companions nowhere to be seen. The surroundings were a mess, and behind him lay the scorched earth, blackened by explosives...
They retreated timidly, their eyes filled with vigilance and defensiveness as they looked at Song Chenghou and the others.
But to their surprise, neither Song Chenghou nor the fishermen stepped forward...
"Brother, take a break and let me take over!"
The eighth brother, Song Chengxi, patted his eldest brother on the shoulder, feeling sorry for him having stood for so long.
Seeing his elder brother nod, he stood aside...
Song Chengxi stepped forward, standing in front of the two men with an imposing air, "Go back and deliver a message!"
Release the fishermen immediately!
Otherwise, your accomplices...
You guys figure it out yourselves!
Furthermore, fishermen on the coast struggle to make a living; if you kidnap people again...
They will definitely suffer the consequences!
Upon realizing they were being told to go back and deliver a message, the two bandits immediately stood up and staggered away.
He kept looking back as he ran, afraid that Song Chengxi and the others would catch up.
suddenly!
My legs suddenly gave way. I had been running towards the island, but after a while, I suddenly remembered something and turned back towards the sea...
The two jumped and disappeared into the sea together.
"Big brother..."
Song Chengxi turned his head in genuine confusion, looking in the direction where the two bandits had disappeared.
"Are they the ones who are stupid, or do they think we are stupid?"
They were clearly heading towards the island, already revealing their tracks, yet they tried to cover it up by fleeing into the sea...
They don't mind the exhaustion of hiding their tracks.
Song Chenghou silently smiled and patted Song Chengxi's shoulder.
"Brother, you go and rest, I'll take care of the aftermath."
Song Chenghou nodded slightly. Rather than worrying about everything for his younger brothers, he hoped that they could all stand on their own and grow up strong.
Without even glancing around, he went straight into the tent.
A confrontation disrupted the dinner plans of those on the shore.
The adults were alright, but the young monks and the other children were so hungry that they were weak and listless.
Wen Shishi was held in Song Chenghou's arms, clutching a small dried fish that had already been gnawed clean, licking its head...
The little guy looked so pitiful.
Seeing his elder brother, he wasn't as excited as before, and even raising his eyes was slower than usual.
Song Chenghou reached out to her, and saw Song Chengxin carrying her and turning her around...
He got up and said to his elder brother, "Brother, lie down for a while, let Lao Liu take a look at you."
Before Wen Shishi could react, she got up and nudged Song Chengfeng, who had just fallen asleep.
Song Chengfeng frowned and sat up, about to explode, when he heard the third brother ask him to take a look at his eldest brother...
The emotions that had just arisen were completely suppressed.
He immediately got up, ignoring his elder brother's refusals, and began to take his pulse by rolling up his sleeves.
After probing for a while, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
"It's alright, I know my own body..."
Song Chenghou had barely started speaking when Song Chengfeng angrily interrupted him, "Shut up!"
He got up to rummage through the medicinal herbs, then lifted the tent flap and called to Lao Shi, "Fetch water and start a fire!"
Outside the tent, Lao Shi's relaxed voice could be heard, "Sixth Brother, what's wrong?"
Song Chengfeng's voice was clearly displeased, "Prepare the medicine!"
Song Chengyuan glanced into the tent and answered quickly, "Okay!"
He picked up the two wooden buckets and disappeared in a flash.
Song Chengxin stood at the tent entrance. His eldest brother was resting, and his second brother was not there, so he had to help keep an eye on things.
"Big brother, how are you feeling?"
He turned around and asked Song Chenghou, who was lying down.
"It's alright, he just needs to rest for a while..."
Afraid of worrying the child, Song Chengxin held Shishi close to his chest like a kangaroo when he asked this question...
To avoid her seeing Song Chenghou's discomfort.
Song Chengxin nodded slightly; he had seen all the hard work his elder brother had done.
My older brother hasn't had a chance to rest for days, and his health is already weak...
However, the eldest brother's disguise was so good that they believed he was truly alright...
Even now, he is still holding on.
It's rare for the sixth brother to give his elder brother such a sour look...
This shows that the situation is not as simple as the older brother makes it sound.
