Chapter 293 Seeking Death
"Commander-in-chief, there seems to be someone on the island!"
A man with excellent eyesight on the fishing boat pointed at the small black spot on Jiang Wan and showed it to his boss.
The commander-in-chief frowned slightly, but when the boat got closer and he could see the people clearly, he immediately smiled.
"She's just a little girl. We just happened to be short of someone, so we'll use her to fill the gap. By the way, a woman definitely wouldn't go to the island alone. There must be other people on the island, so be careful."
Although they all have kung fu skills, they still have to be careful. Sometimes, underestimating others can lead to failure.
The fishing boats approached little by little, and the fishing boats anchored in front also appeared.
"There are only two boats, and there are about five or six fishermen. Commander, can I go and capture them all?"
"Take a look first."
The commander-in-chief felt much more relaxed after seeing that there were only two boats. With their skills, it would be too embarrassing if they couldn't even catch the fishermen on two boats.
"Don't take those on the boat with you yet. Amai and Xiaoyou, you two come with me."
Jiang Wan then watched the fishing boat slowly approach the shore, and then three big men got on and off the boat.
She had a hunch that something was wrong with these people.
Fishermen usually bend over to cast nets and row boats all year round. Except for young people, older fishermen walk with a slightly bent back.
The three people coming towards him all had their backs straight and they didn't look like fishermen at all.
Jiang Wan glanced into the woods and saw that the auntie who was delivering weeds had just entered the woods for a while and it would take some time for her to come out.
"Little girl, where are your parents?"
Jiang Wan shook her head and said nothing, lowering her head and acting timid. Many girls at that time had the same reaction when they saw strange men, so Amei and the others did not find it strange.
Xiao You quietly walked to Jiang Wan's side, acting as a spy. If Jiang Wan made any unusual movements, he would immediately reach out and break Jiang Wan's neck.
All three noticed the pile of weeds on the beach and quickly determined that the people on the boat were in the woods.
Xiao You was left behind to watch over Jiang Wan, while the other two took out their daggers and tiptoed into the woods.
Jiang Wan's anxiety was useless. She was too far away to pass on the news. She could only hope that these people would not kill people directly.
She lowered her head, and occasionally her eyes would steal a glance at the hands of the man next to her.
This man has a cocoon in his mouth, he is definitely not an ordinary fisherman!
Ordinary fishermen not only have snares on their palms, but also various cracked wounds due to years of wind, sun, and soaking in water.
The man next to me had the cocoon in the wrong position, and there were no wounds on other parts of his palm, which was different from the fisherman.
He looks more like a soldier.
Jiang Wan's heart skipped a beat, and he continued to play dumb and pick the weeds. Suddenly, a sneer came from beside him.
"Girl, you look young, but you are quite good at pretending."
Xiao You walked over to Jiang Wan and kicked the herbs she had cleared out earlier.
"These are so well organized. I recognize several of them as herbs. You got these to sell, right?"
Jiang Wan didn't reply, and the man ignored her and continued talking to himself.
"If I hadn't known these herbs, you would have played dumb and fooled me. Tell me honestly, how many people are there in the forest?"
Jiang Wan was being questioned by being pulled by the arm, and before either of them could say anything useful, they heard a series of banging sounds coming from the woods.
That was the sound of coconuts falling from the trees.
It seems that the aunties and ladies met those two men. I hope the coconuts they threw can hit those two guys, which will save them trouble.
Jiang Wan muttered to herself silently, but things did not go as she wished.
Soon she and Xiaoyou saw two people entering the woods, covering their heads with one hand and walking out holding a rope with the other.
The person who came to work with Jiang Wan today was tied to the other end of the rope.
"Damn it! These women were throwing coconuts at the trees! Luckily I dodged quickly and was thick-skinned, so only my back was hit. If it had hit my head, I would have died here today."
Amai kept cursing under his breath, and occasionally kicked at the crowd who were displeased.
"Boss, I think these women are good at their jobs, why don't we sell them off?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the aunties and grandmas all showed despair. If it weren't for the huge pile of grass stuffed in their mouths, some of them would have bitten their tongues to commit suicide.
What good end can a woman who is sold have? She will either become a shared wife with a mountain man, or be sold to a dirty place.
Anyway, my reputation can no longer be saved.
Jiang Wan was afraid that the aunties and ladies would do something stupid, so she thought quickly about how to escape.
Just then, one of the men's stomach growled.
Jiang Wan suddenly had an idea and took the initiative to speak: "You must be hungry, right? I cook delicious meals for you. Can you let the aunts go?"
Such naive words made Amai laugh.
"You're too naive to spit out the meat that's already in your mouth. If you know how to cook, go and prepare it now. If you serve a few good masters, you can suffer less."
Jiang Wan lowered her head in pretended fear, and reluctantly began to move the stone stove, then walked towards the beach.
"You want to run away, little girl?!"
"No, no, I saw that there was nothing to eat on the island, so I went to the beach to pick up some. We fishermen live by the sea, and we pick food on the beach every day. Besides, I can't run away even if I want to. This place is so far from home, I can't swim back."
The three men thought this made sense, but they still asked Xiao You to follow and keep an eye on Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan didn't care about the person behind her and was focused on splashing around in the sea water looking for something.
When I don’t want something, I always find a lot of it. Now when I want to find it, I can’t find it.
It's really infuriating.
Jiang Wan continued to search in the sea water while picking up the conch. Just when Xiao You was about to lose patience, she finally caught the little fellow she had been dreaming about in the sea.
A little guy who gets mad and turns into a ball when touched.
