Chapter 66 A Strange Country
"ah!"
A scream startled the birds in the forest, and the pirates, who had been a little lazy, became alert.
Everyone saw one of them fall into a deep pit full of sharp branches. A branch pierced the man's chest directly, and blood was still spurting out of his mouth. It seemed that he was dead for sure!
"Save me, save me."
The man who was vomiting blood stretched out his arms weakly and looked at his companions expectantly.
But everyone was so scared that they took a step back, with no intention of saving anyone.
Everyone was shocked by the tragic scene. Weapons were useless here.
"Let's go, let's leave here, let's go somewhere else, this place is weird."
The leader was very afraid of death, so when he saw that the idea was difficult to implement, he immediately gave up. It must be said that he was a little smart.
Cheng Hui, who was hiding behind the shadow of the tree, breathed a sigh of relief. If they tried to force their way in, they would probably have to fight a tough battle, and there would inevitably be injuries and deaths. Fortunately, the leader was afraid of death.
Now she is more worried about her father and others who went out to sea. She wondered if they had encountered the same danger as the pirates, otherwise why hadn't they returned for so long?
As the boat got closer to the shore, the atmosphere became more and more depressing. The more I wanted to go ashore before, the more scared I became now.
There were scattered thatched houses and a few small boats on the shore, which should be used by the villagers here to fish. The children who were originally playing gathered together curiously to look at the boats that suddenly appeared, while some adults looked at the suddenly appeared large ship with caution.
"Mom, mom, look, that big ship, that ship is so big."
A three-year-old, five-head-tall little cutie pulled his mother out of the kitchen, pointing at the boat that suddenly appeared on the sea and talking in a baby voice.
"There's no such thing as a big ship, Xiaobao. Mother still has to cook. Your father will be hungry if he comes back without food."
The woman who was being dragged looked reluctant, but she still followed out to prevent her son from falling.
"Ah, there really is a boat, but where did it come from?"
Jinhua saw Aunt Cuihua watching the fun from the side and his eyes rolled.
"Aunt Cuihua, do you know where this boat came from?"
Aunt Cuihua spat out the melon seed shells in her mouth, glanced at Jinhua who suddenly appeared, and saw through her intention of wanting to have some of her melon seeds, so she pursed her lips in disdain.
"Who knows? This boat just came from the sea. Dachui has already gone to call the village chief. We'll know when they come down."
Jinhua was disappointed for a moment. Aunt Cuihua was so stingy that it was not easy to take advantage of her.
"Don't be a merchant ship. My brother's village once encountered a passing merchant ship. They bought a lot of rare items. I heard that they took these things to the town and sold them for a lot of money."
"Haha, that's just old news. Besides, this ship looks so big, maybe it belongs to an official or a noble. How could they care less about us poor people?"
Aunt Cuihua laughed at herself. There were often ships coming to their sea area, so she had seen the faces of dignitaries. After being slapped in the face once, she would not flatter others again.
"The village chief is coming, the village chief is coming, move aside and make room for him."
Dahammer used both hands to drive people away while shouting.
A man with half-white hair and a hunched back came walking slowly towards them. The children and adults in the village all made way for him unconsciously.
Of course, Lin Yue on the boat also saw the situation in the village: some curious children, some women and children watching the fun, and an old man who looked like the person in charge.
"Hello, we are a passing ship. We are going ashore to buy some supplies. Can we go ashore? If you agree, wave your hand. If you don't agree, squat down."
Lin Yiguang, who had the loudest voice, was shouting at the top of his lungs with a crude loudspeaker.
The people on the shore were startled. They could still hear the voice from such a distance, but what should they do if they understood what the other party said completely?
"Village Chief, what are those people on the boat shouting? What are they saying?"
The old village chief stroked his beard. He didn't understand either, but he was not in a hurry. It was the other party who was anxious.
Seeing that the other party had no reaction, Lin Yue guessed that the other party might not understand their language.
"They might not understand us, so according to what we had agreed on, my second brother and Uncle Ruan will go ashore to talk to them and find out where we are. Then we can buy some rice, flour, fruits, vegetables, and the best thing is to buy a few chickens.
If they agree to allow our boat to dock, we should also pay attention to the villagers' reactions, otherwise we might be robbed."
“Okay, okay, little sister, you’ve said this five times, don’t worry.
Who is your second brother? He is known as the Jianghu Know-it-all, and there is nothing he cannot get.
Just wait and see! I will definitely ask all their ancestors.”
Lin Yue's eyes twitched. There was no need to ask about the entire family.
"Hurry up and go. Why are you hesitating? Your Uncle Ruan is about to go ashore."
In the end, his old father Lin Hongyuan couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Lin Yiguang into the water without mercy.
He fell into the water with a splash. When Lin Yi Guang emerged from the water, he looked at his father with resentment, accusing him of being so cruel to him.
However, Lin Hongyuan had a blank expression on his face, as if the person who had just kicked him was not him.
Lin Yiguang snorted and swam away.
"Uncle, sister, little kid, hello!"
However, looking at the stunned crowd, Lin Yi Guang touched his nose awkwardly, forgetting that these people could not understand what he said.
Ruan Xiayu couldn't think of any good way to communicate, so after getting ashore, he just stood aside and waited behind Lin Yiguang, who boasted that he could ask anything.
Lin Yi Guang quickly found a stone and wrote on the ground. Although the languages were different in many places, the characters were the same.
"Can you read? We were just passing through and boarded a ship. We encountered a storm at sea, lost all our supplies, and got lost. We drifted at sea for more than ten days before we came across your village."
The old village chief squatted down and nodded under Lin Yi Guang's expectant eyes, indicating that he understood!
Lin Yi Guang thought proudly that he was really smart and he had to do it himself.
"Uncle, can my family and friends get ashore? We have been on the boat for almost a month and I am worried the whole time."
The old village chief thought about it and realized that there was nothing to rob in his village, but the men were still in the fields, and those present were all women, children and young children. If the other party had bad intentions, he alone could not stop them.
Seeing that the old man was a little hesitant, Lin Yi Guang quietly stuffed a silver ingot into the old man's hand, and his intention to use money to pave the way was obvious.
The old man thought about it and wrote.
"You can go ashore, but you have to wait until the men from our village come back."
Lin Yi Guang was not annoyed and continued to get close to the old village chief.
"Where is this place? We've been drifting at sea for a month and have long lost our way."
"We are a small village under Zhengguo Chunji."
When Lin Yi Guang saw the word "Zheng Guo", his heart suddenly sank. They had arrived in another country, a place he didn't know. It was over.
