The third brother and the other brothers walked from inside the courtyard to outside.
Upon hearing this, the third brother asked, "Uncle Hai, Danzhou and Wan'anzhou are in a difficult position, preventing passage..."
"Or does Qiongzhou not sell goods?"
Chen Hai shook his head, "No, it's just that when passing through Danzhou or Wan'anzhou, there's bound to be some verbal ridicule..."
"Business is still going on in Qiongzhou, but they'll make things difficult. They can raise prices!"
After Chen Hai finished speaking, the other fishermen echoed him:
"yes!"
"They bully people every time!"
"We may not have any money, but we haven't asked them for a single penny, so why should we make things difficult for them!"
"Therefore, we almost never leave Yazhou; there's no need to go looking for trouble!"
......
Song Chengjian and Song Chengxin looked at each other, and Song Chengxin volunteered, "Okay, Second Brother!"
I'll go this time. I'm thick-skinned; I don't care what they say!
After thinking it over, Song Chengjian summoned his fourth and seventh brothers, who were calm and composed and not prone to impulsive actions...
The fourth brother is skilled in martial arts; if anything were to happen, he could hold out for a while.
He gave the remaining bamboo arrows to them; they should be enough for basic self-defense.
With this in mind, the second brother made personnel arrangements and sought the opinions of several people.
The three naturally agreed; the other brothers wanted to go, as it would add more manpower...
But the second brother said that they needed to strengthen defenses on the shore, worried that the South Vietnamese and Japanese might cause trouble at the mines...
That's when they stopped.
Chen Hai and his second brother discussed the number of people to send.
The supplies need to be carried back by manpower, so we need to send enough people.
The selection process has been finalized, and it's decided to depart that evening and arrive the following afternoon...
During the journey, it saved them the trouble of getting entangled with the residents of Wan'anzhou or Danzhou.
After discussion, it was finally decided that the route would bypass Wan'an Prefecture and proceed to Qiongzhou.
Although Danzhou is far from pirates, its economy is relatively weak, and it has little contact with merchants and other islanders, making it relatively more cunning.
The second son handed the money to the careful seventh son for safekeeping, and told them to be careful.
The fishermen who were going with them made arrangements at home, packed provisions, including those for the three Song brothers, and prepared to set off that night...
Wen Shishi was a little dazed when she woke up.
Perhaps because I slept so soundly, my eyes were exceptionally bright when I woke up.
Hearing noises outside the courtyard, perhaps it was just intuition...
Wen Shishi climbed out of bed and, chased by Niu Erhua, went outside into the courtyard.
The third, fourth, and seventh brothers, along with the fishermen, were preparing to set off.
The remaining Song brothers, along with the remaining fishermen, fisherwomen, and children, are seeing him off.
"Third Brother! Fourth Brother! Seventh Brother!"
Wen Shishi broke free from Niu Erhua's hand and rushed to Song Chengxin's side.
Song Chengxin was surprised by Wen Shishi's arrival; the initial astonishment on his face quickly turned into a gentle smile...
Wen Shishi hugged his knees tightly with both hands.
"Third Brother, I don't want you to leave!"
This was the first time Song Chengxin had received such treatment.
Her heart softened, and she knelt down to comfort him: "Shishi, be good! Third Brother, Fourth Brother, and Seventh Brother have something to do."
Look, we have many older brothers, uncles, and elders with us, so we are very safe.
The brothers will be back as soon as possible.
The fourth and seventh brothers gathered around, and the fourth brother smiled and took Wen Shishi's hand.
The seventh brother chuckled and teased, "Oh, so Shishi only has eyes for the third brother and can't see the fourth and seventh brothers at all, can she?"
Wen Shishi raised her little face, her eyes full of worry, and said, "I want to too! Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, you should come back soon too!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Qi softened his tone and pinched Wen Shishi's cheek.
The group disappeared into the night.
The tenth brother came over and picked up Wen Shishi, who was still looking back at the backs of the third brother and the others...
He chuckled jokingly, "You little rascal, you always complain about your third brother so much..."
Besides Sixth Brother, you complain about Third Brother the most.
It wasn't until we were about to part that I realized how important my third brother was to you!
Wen Shishi turned her head and looked at Lao Shi seriously, "I like every brother!"
They are all very important to me!
Her serious and earnest demeanor left Lao Shiyi speechless for a moment, and he could only hug Wen Shishi even tighter.
She comforted her, "Shishi, don't worry, they will be back safe and sound soon."
