Song Chengjian came to his elder brother's side.
The two brothers consulted with veteran fishermen like Chen Hai, and learned that similar situations had begun to occur on the Jiang family's merchant ships.
But Chen Hai said that the Jiang family boarded the ship only when it docked at the shore to deliver supplies to the temple...
At other times, they would arrive directly at Haizhu Port and then return via a long journey...
So, tonight, a return flight was promised, but it didn't return as scheduled...
Such situations are rare.
Even so, Song Chenghou and Song Chengjian both felt very uneasy.
The two discussed it and decided that the elder brother, Song Chenghou, would be responsible for arranging for the personnel on shore to maintain vigilance...
The second son, Song Chengjian, was responsible for preparing for the sea rescue operation.
Hearing what the two said, all the fishermen and fisherwomen on the shore became nervous.
Because each house has no doors or gates for protection, it would be difficult to escape if attacked...
The elder brother found the abbot and suggested that the fisherwoman and the children gather in the temple to take refuge.
The abbot readily agreed and asked the monks to prepare food in case of need.
The young novices were dozing off, but were woken up by their senior brothers and gathered in the meditation room, which had two courtyards outside, making it relatively safer.
The fishermen obeyed the orders of the Song brothers.
Song Chengjian took all the gunpowder he had just made with him.
The others did the same, sorting through the bamboo arrows left over from last time.
The Jiang family's large ship has been docked for a long time; rescuing people would make them too conspicuous, hindering a sneak attack...
Therefore, Song Chengjian instructed the fishermen to prepare several small boats and to carry knives and arrows for self-defense.
Song Chenghou sent his fourth and ninth brothers to the cave where Shengdong lived to investigate the situation.
Song Chenghou repeatedly urged them to be careful.
Wen Shishi seemed to sense the dangerous atmosphere...
The brothers were busy, just like last time on Mount Limu, just like when they were fighting the pirates...
Wen Shishi's eyes lit up, and she called out to her second brother, Song Chengjian:
"Fish! Second Brother, fish!"
Song Chengjian was packing up the bamboo arrows when he looked over with a puzzled expression...
But clearly, they didn't understand.
Wen Shishi slid off her third brother, pointed at his wrist, and reminded him, "The fish that bit you last time! That ugly fish!"
While Song Chengjian was still pondering, Lao Liu came out of the courtyard.
"I understand! Shishi means we can use that ugly fish—the striped eel catfish—that the Dong people brought last night when they were preparing to launch a sneak attack..."
Song Chengfeng walked up to Wen Shishi and asked, "Shishi, do you mean to use the poisonous fins of this ugly fish as a weapon?"
Wen Shishi nodded emphatically.
Song Chengjian realized what was happening and his face lit up with surprise.
Indeed, removing the fish fins and inserting them into the tip of bamboo arrows significantly enhances their lethality and lethality!
Song Chengjian nodded approvingly at Wen Shishi and praised her, "Shishi is really great!"
Song Chengxin couldn't help but lower his head and stroke Wen Shishi's little head, "Hey! This little head is so smart!"
"Brother, how could I not have thought of that?"
The tenth brother, Song Chengxin, walked over and continued to provoke the third brother, "Third brother, if you could figure things out, you wouldn't be the only one who got pricked by the ugly fish, would you?"
Song Chengxin lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then realized what was happening. "Are you mocking me?"
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"
Wen Shishi looked up and saw her third brother's suppressed laughter, so she rolled her eyes.
However, Song Chengxin accurately captured it.
Song Chengxin squatted down and grabbed Wen Shishi's arm. "Little sister? Where did you learn to roll your eyes at your third brother like that?"
Wen Shishi looked at Sixth Brother and pointed honestly.
Song Chengxin was taken aback. After thinking about it, he realized that Lao Liu did indeed spend a considerable amount of time with Shishi...
Moreover, among the brothers, only the sixth brother liked to roll his eyes, especially at himself...
Song Chengxin stood up, feeling it necessary to establish his authority in front of his sister and let his brothers know what the hierarchy of elders and juniors meant.
"Sixth Brother!"
He called out to the sixth brother sternly, with a hint of reproach, "From now on, watch your behavior..."
Don't roll your eyes too often, or you'll corrupt the children!
Children can imitate a bad habit very quickly!
Song Chengfeng was sorting and reclassifying the herbs.
If we go out to sea to rescue people, there will inevitably be more casualties...
The medicinal materials should primarily have astringent and hemostatic properties.
I was busy when I heard my third brother standing there talking nonsense, even lecturing me with such self-righteousness...
Holding the medicine packet in his hand, he strode out of the courtyard and called out to Song Chengxin:
"Do I roll my eyes all the time? Not just to you?!"
Don't you ever reflect on your own actions? Can you stop doing things that leave me speechless all day long?
If I don't roll my eyes, am I supposed to beat you up?
Tell me, on whom have I used the herbs from our family's herb garden?!
Song Chengxin was in the wrong, and it seemed that he was always the one who got hurt, and it wasn't even about the important matter.
Song Chengxin shrank back and hid behind Wen Shishi.
Seeing his older brother walking this way, he immediately straightened his back and complained to his older brother, "Big brother, you need to control Lao Liu, he has no respect for his elders!"
The eldest brother chuckled, but before he could say anything, he looked down and saw Wen Shishi roll her eyes at the third brother.
