"I never imagined that it would be them who attacked the Song brothers..."
One of the fishermen spoke up.
Everyone fell silent. A fisherwoman asked doubtfully, "Are they really in league with the pirates?"
The fishermen and their wives looked at each other in bewilderment.
Even with the facts right in front of me, it's still hard to believe.
After all, on the island, besides the abbot and monks, the people they interacted with most were the Dong people.
During the typhoon, I borrowed their cave to take shelter...
They usually exchange daily necessities...
It's not about mutual benefit, but at least peaceful coexistence.
It brought convenience to each other's lives.
Who would have thought that the isolated Dong people were actually fierce bandits in Haishan, living two lives, one in public and one in private.
"I still don't believe it..."
One of the fisherwomen said that life is definitely going well.
"You may not believe me, but wait until we've all lost our lives, then we'll see if you still believe me!"
The fishermen spoke up to warn them.
"Young Master, speak! Everyone will believe what you say!"
The fishermen and their wives all looked at Song Chenghou.
At that moment, Song Chenghou was preoccupied with coaxing Wen Shishi, completely unaware of their earlier remarks.
Wen Shishi was sobbing, her eyes were red, and she looked extremely pitiful.
Song Chengliang came out of the courtyard, carrying a small bowl.
The aroma of roasting fills the air, and Wen Shishi sits up straight.
He handed the bowl to Wen Shishi, whose eyes lit up.
"Fish? Fried dried anchovies?"
Wen Shishi looked up and asked, "Fourth Brother, did you make this especially for me?"
Song Chengliang nodded, noticing that Wen Shishi had been startled awake, and it was so late again...
I quickly borrowed some small fish from next door, rushed back to the kitchen, and started a fire to fry them.
Wen Shishi stopped crying and opened her eyes wide.
Her fingers, as delicate as lotus roots, picked up a small dried fish and fed it to her older brother...
Song Chenghou looked up, pretended to take a bite, and even pretended to chew, exclaiming, "Mmm, so delicious!"
Wen Shishi was amused and fed the dried fish in her hand to her fourth brother.
Song Chengliang smiled faintly and pushed Wen Shishi's hand into his mouth.
The fishermen and their wives were all waiting...
Song Chengliang picked up the person and the bowl, saying, "Big brother, you two talk, I'll hold Shishi."
Song Chenghou then turned around and saw that everyone was waiting for him.
The smile faded from Chen Hai's face as he reminded them of the fishermen's and fisherwomen's earlier doubts...
A cold smile appeared on Song Chenghou's lips.
"Accomplices? They're clearly pirates in disguise!"
Everyone was startled.
Besides Song Chengjian, the other brothers were also somewhat surprised.
When they were rescuing the fishermen, Song Chenghou and Song Chengjian discovered that someone was watching them from the shore...
The bandits attempted a sneak attack. Based on the information gathered, Song Chenghou and Song Chengjian immediately suspected that these bandits lived on the island.
With today's discovery, everything makes sense.
It wasn't that a Dong woman married into a pirate family, but rather that the pirates themselves were Dong women.
They usually stir up trouble and commit evil deeds at sea...
After changing their clothes and keeping a low profile, everyone assumed that they, like the Li people, disliked contact with others...
The fishermen and their wives' faces changed, speechless with shock.
They could hardly believe that the people who had once warmly welcomed them and offered them shelter from typhoons...
The Dong people who borrowed thatch and timber were actually bandits who had abducted their parents and frequently came ashore to kidnap people?!
But Song Chenghou's resolute decision, though difficult to bear, led them to choose to trust him.
The eldest son is definitely right.
"Young Master, what should we do now?"
Chen Hai spoke on their behalf.
Song Chenghou's eyes were deep and unfathomable. "Since the details weren't explicitly stated, for the time being, they won't resort to a fight to the death..."
The Dong people's fear of them was not because they had changed their residence and moved into the courtyard.
Rather, they had suffered a loss at the hands of the Song family when they demanded ransom last time...
They attempted a sneak attack from the shore, but were stunned by Song Chengjian's explosives and were then taken to the authorities...
The fishermen also suspected that the prefect of Qiongzhou might have had trusted subordinates who already knew the true identities of these bandits...
If those bandits hadn't been released, they might not have dared to retaliate so openly.
But what role did the officials of Qiongzhou play among these bandits?
"From now on, everyone must be on high alert."
We must strengthen our defenses as soon as possible...
They won't have to wait long.
Upon hearing this, the fishermen and their wives all paled and rushed closer, pleading with the Song family.
"Young Master, please, save everyone!"
"That's right, young master! We'll follow your arrangements without hesitation!"
"That's right, young master! We'll listen to you. From now on, whether it's patrolling or guarding, we won't dare to slack off again!"
......
Song Chenghou looked at Song Chengjian and nodded in acknowledgment.
Song Chengjian is better at defense.
