After this interlude, the fourth brother quickly diced the last sea cucumber and added it to the rice porridge.
The third brother carefully fed his eldest brother, who seemed drowsy and not sleeping soundly...
The situation is not optimistic.
After a simple lunch, the brothers ate sweet potato porridge, and Wen Shishi received an extra five dried fish.
The seventh brother comforted him, saying, "Consider this as us fulfilling our promise on behalf of our third brother."
Third Brother had to take care of Big Brother and didn't have time to catch dried fish for you, but he still kept his promise to Shishi, right?
Seeing Wen Shishi nod obediently, Lao Qi patted Wen Shishi's head with satisfaction.
The second son immediately adjusted the manpower arrangement.
He just went to the temple walls to apply mortar and communicate with the abbot...
Based on the timeline, the typhoon should arrive in just two or three days...
However, given the current situation, the wind direction seems to remain unchanged, so the abbot suspects that this typhoon will once again exhibit unusual behavior.
"Limu Mountain is too big. The eighth, ninth, and thirteenth brothers discovered the situation around Limu Mountain..."
Sometimes, you might just miss it.
If my elder brother's health is not compromised, then securing timber supplies and coping with the typhoon are our top priorities.
But right now, our eldest brother's health is our top priority.
First, we should deal with the typhoon and stockpile food, and then focus on subsequent development and cooperation; there's no rush.
I'll continue preparing the explosives. I suggest we take a small portion from our spare money and discuss it with Uncle Hai...
The fishermen who previously dealt with the Dong people were persuaded to purchase a batch of timber and bamboo from them...
Once we've dealt with this typhoon, we can continue to seek cooperation with Shengli.
There's no rush, at least not in the next day or two. Besides, even if we continue patrolling, we might not find it.
After hearing what the second brother had to say, the brothers expressed their agreement.
The eldest brother's condition was serious. The three people who were originally searching for clues at the foot of Limu Mountain were already worried that they might not find anything within three days...
The third brother has to take care of the eldest brother and also keep an eye on Wen Shishi...
The second brother needs to prepare weapons, while the rest of the group should stockpile seafood and food...
Even with ten brothers, they still felt they didn't have enough manpower.
After finalizing the purchase amount, Lao Qi raised concerns.
"Second brother, the fishermen didn't know before that the pirates who robbed their ancestors and relatives were not only from the Dong people..."
Now we know they were the ones who kidnapped the fishermen at sea last time, and the ones who tried to ambush us..."
The second brother chimed in, "Are you worried that the fishermen will be resistant and unwilling to cooperate with them?"
Lao Ba added, "Could it be that they used the opportunity of discussing the purchase of timber and bamboo to detain the fishermen?"
The second son nodded, "What you reminded me of is all correct."
Last time, when the fourth, eighth, and ninth brothers came out to sea with me, did you find anything?
The fourth brother pondered for a moment, not rushing to speak.
Old Eight, quick-witted, his eyes lit up and he immediately spoke, "The pirates we fought last time..."
And on the beach, the bandits who tried to ambush us had distinctly different skin colors and facial features...
So at first we only suspected that they were secretly hiding on the island, but we couldn't be sure at all.
These facial features clearly indicate they originated from outside the island...
Upon hearing this, Lao Jiu affirmed, "Now that you mention it, it's true!"
According to the fishermen, those who robbed them last time were clearly of Vietnamese or Dai appearance. Oh, and…”
Old Jiu remembered, "It's said that Shengdong isn't a single ethnic group; it includes Dong people, Nanyue people, Dai people, and even Japanese..."
According to Uncle Hai, the people from the villages they traded goods with were usually Dong people...
His facial features were similar to those of the Li people, but his attire, the sword he carried, and so on were quite different...
The second brother was very pleased to hear their analysis. "I'll go discuss this with Uncle Hai later. If necessary, I'll go with them..."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a familiar voice was heard at the courtyard gate.
Song Chengjian stood up, clearly taken aback.
