Perhaps they felt it was shameful to cry in front of children...
Jiang Xinyu quickly composed himself and said to Song Chenghou, "Brother, we may have to trouble you for the time being. We will leave after Uncle Qin and the crew have recovered from their injuries."
Song Chenghou nodded gently, "We're all family, no need for formalities."
The question was emphasized: "Between the two groups of pirates, did you or Uncle Qin notice anything that resembled people from the shore?"
For example, does he look like Sheng Li?
Actually, what Song Chenghou wanted to ask about was Shengdong.
Aside from their clothing and patterns, they are easily confused with the Li people in appearance.
However, for safety reasons, Song Chenghou does not intend to expose the secrets of the cave on the shore for the time being.
Jiang Xinyu frowned and thought about it seriously.
Before he set off, his older brother reminded him to be careful on the shore, and now he's asking this again...
Could it be that they suspect the pirates are connected to the people on land?
Jiang Xinyu said, "Uncle Qin and the crew discussed that the first group of pirates they encountered looked more like Japanese or Nanyue people."
As for the second wave...
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xinyu said, "The crew members have never seen them before, but I have accompanied my father to meet foreign merchants. They are more like people from the Java region, from foreign lands."
When I mentioned it to Uncle Qin, he had the same guess.
Song Chenghou nodded, gaining a deeper understanding of the current threats to the ocean.
"The Chiang family suffered considerable losses on two separate occasions..."
Song Chenghou offered words of comfort, "However, we'll let you return home so we can prepare a gift for you..."
If we can successfully launch the program and establish sales channels, profits could come quickly, potentially recouping the losses from these two trips.
Jiang Xinyu's eyes lit up, but she still remembered to correct him:
"Big brother, we've been through thick and thin together. You and second brother should know what kind of person I am..."
Regarding this incident, I hope you will not blame yourselves.
Not to mention, you want me to return to the city because you have new business opportunities and want to discuss them with me...
Even if we don't return to the city, there might be other risks waiting for us at sea right now.
Ultimately, it was because the Chiang family had become too powerful and attracted too much attention, while maritime piracy had become rampant. They had grown fatter and stronger in recent years, and their appetites had only grown larger…
Song Chenghou smiled and nodded; Jiang Xinyu's thinking was exactly what he expected...
Even so, I still feel that I didn't misjudge him.
Song Chengjian then spoke up, "Brothers, you should all get well first. The fishermen can help. Let's all work together to inspect and repair the boat..."
"Your second brother will prepare some weapons for you, in case you encounter danger again on your way back."
Hearing Song Chengjian speak, Jiang Xinyu felt a strong sense of security.
Without any formalities, he looked up and laughed, "Thank you, Second Brother!"
Song Chengjian's expression relaxed. "That's right! We're family, no need to be so polite."
Song Chengjian was just about to leave to prepare self-defense weapons for Jiang Xinyu and the crew...
Wen Shishi jumped down from her eldest brother's arms, rushed over and hugged Song Chengjian's leg, tilting her head up, "Second brother, I want to go see!"
Song Chengjian was a little confused by Wen Shishi's actions.
She looked at her older brother with a puzzled expression, "Big brother, when did Shishi learn this move?"
As if sensing that Song Chengjian wouldn't agree...
So, first come over and hug them, use that cute, affectionate tactic...
Song Chenghou curled his lips into a smile, and even Jiang Xinyu's heavy expression softened considerably when he saw it.
"Hey! Shishi, let go of Second Brother first..."
The tenth brother got off the boat, intending to fetch water from behind the temple...
He happened to see this scene and teased, "My second brother actually has something he's afraid of!"
I'm not afraid of theft or robbery, but I'm afraid of Shishi's sweet hugs and cuddles...
The fatal weakness of a tough guy!
Song Chengjian hardened his fist, and Lao Shi laughed as he scurried away.
Wen Shishi held on tightly, tilting her head back as she continued to plead, "Let me go see! I promise I won't cause any trouble!"
Song Chenghou chuckled, "Second brother, it seems that Shishi's trick works on you."
Helpless, Song Chengjian looked down at the two layers of soft flesh on Wen Shishi's exposed neck and tickled her...
Wen Shishi dodged left and right, but her hands still held on tightly.
Song Chengjian put on a stern face, pretending to be serious, "Then you promise your second brother that you won't run around or cause trouble!"
Wen Shishi raised one fist, while her other hand remained firmly held by Song Chengjian's leg.
The three of them burst into laughter upon seeing her gesture.
Wen Shishi raised her little finger, then held up her two short and cute little fingers, her index and middle fingers.
Song Chengjian laughed in exasperation, "Look at this, what kind of oath is this?"
"That's called, yay!"
