The water splashed directly onto the ship, causing the entire pirate ship to capsize.
Everyone fell into the sea.
Upon hearing the cries for help from the women and children, Baili Wanwan notified Lan Xuerong to come quickly and use her mermaid magic to drag the people ashore.
As for the pirates, Baili Wanwan chose to ignore them.
These people have committed countless murders and have accumulated too many blood debts; they certainly deserve to be punished.
She saw Lin Yang'er in the sea, so she swam over and carried her to another small boat.
Most of the people were seasick, except for those who were good swimmers. Baili Wanwan also dragged the two large boxes of treasure back onto the ship.
As for the other villagers who didn't have time to escape, she summoned a whale to use its back as support to drag them all ashore.
However, the pirates' cries for help in the sea still made Baili Wanwan feel unbearable.
She eventually had the whale drag the pirates up as well, and made sure to tie them up one by one with hemp rope.
These pirates should not continue to roam freely; handing them over to the county magistrate is naturally the most appropriate course of action.
However, the pirate's strategist caught Baili Wanwan's attention.
Even though he couldn't swim, the strategist didn't faint after falling into the water...
He was currently tied to a large tree and was observing Baili Wanwan with a scrutinizing gaze.
Baili Wanwan couldn't help but sigh, "This older brother is really handsome..."
Even after falling into the water, it still possesses a unique kind of beauty.
She couldn't help but take a second look.
"I've heard of pictures of handsome men emerging from the bath before. Would you consider this a picture of a handsome man emerging from the bath, brother?"
Seeing that the black aura around the strategist wasn't too severe, Baili Wanwan realized that the man might not be so bad. Moreover, as the black aura dissipated, it even showed signs of gradually turning white.
Baili Wanwan was very puzzled, so was this older brother a good person or a bad person?
As she pondered, a leaf fell onto the strategist's black hair, and her long eyelashes fluttered down, making her look somewhat pitiful.
Baili Wanwan's heart skipped a beat.
Did she ever hear her sister Lan Xuerong say that there are many monsters in this world, and those monsters are most skilled at bewitching people's hearts?
Is this strategist brother some kind of demon or monster?
If that's really the case, it's just too terrifying.
Baili Wanwan stared at her for a few more moments, then tentatively moved closer.
Unexpectedly, the strategist smiled at her.
That smile was like the blazing sun in the heavens, so dazzling that it was almost blinding. Baili Wanwan was momentarily lost in thought.
This must really be the monster Sister Xue Rong was talking about, otherwise how could it be so good at bewitching people?
"Little one, have you seen enough?"
Upon hearing the somewhat hoarse voice, Baili Wanwan finally realized what was happening. At first, she shook her head, but then, realizing something was wrong, she nodded.
"Brother, you're not a bad person."
The moment Baili Wanwan uttered those words, the strategist's smile vanished instantly. He narrowed his eyes, glanced at Baili Wanwan, and then sneered.
"That's a strange thing to say. I've committed many evils with those pirates, how could I be a good person? Don't make up stories just because you're attracted to my good looks."
Baili Wanwan panicked. She wanted to explain that it wasn't because she was attracted to his beauty, but she found herself at a loss for words.
"That's really not the case. Wanwan just thinks her brother doesn't seem like a bad person."
In the town these days, Baili Wanwan has heard quite a few opera excerpts, many of which tell stories of people with unspeakable difficulties who are forced to do things out of necessity.
And judging from the somewhat pale aura, this older brother doesn't seem to have done anything wrong.
Even when forced to, they still didn't do it.
Baili Wanwan reached out her little hand, wanting to pick the fallen leaves off the strategist's head, but when she got close, she found that the strategist's face had completely darkened.
"Take your hand away from me. I don't want anyone near me."
Feeling wronged, Baili Wanwan burst into tears.
The strategist's face flushed slightly, clearly showing his embarrassment.
His voice softened considerably, seemingly tinged with a sigh: "I was just saying it casually, why are you crying? It will make people think I bullied you."
Baili Wanwan's shoulders trembled uncontrollably. Wiping away her tears, she mumbled, "I was just trying to be kind by picking leaves for my brother, but I didn't expect him to yell at me!"
The strategist was clearly more uncomfortable.
He was a pirate whom everyone respected, yet he had fallen into the hands of a little girl.
He was already embarrassed enough, but the little girl's tearful appearance made him feel sorry for her.
He had no idea when he had become such a worthless person.
Bai Liwan finally got his wish and removed the fallen leaf from the general's head.
A smile finally appeared on her lips, and she gave Jun a quick kiss on the cheek.
Although men and women are supposed to avoid physical contact, she was just a child.
Children don't need to avoid these things.
Where are you taking us?
The strategist shifted his body, the old tree trunk behind him was so withered that it hurt his back. At this moment, he asked the key question.
"Don't worry, brother. You're not a bad person. You're different from those pirates. Wanwan will never let a good person suffer."
Baili Wanwan patted the strategist on the shoulder with great pleasure.
She was now even more certain that the brother in front of her was definitely not a bad person.
Bad people are always furious at times like this.
Where else can you find someone as calm and fearless as this older brother?
She grinned at the strategist.
Soon, the county magistrate's men arrived.
They're just here to reap the benefits.
These pirates had been running rampant for years, and even the government officials couldn't easily catch them. But unexpectedly, this time they were all captured by the villagers of Hailan Village.
It is indeed somewhat shocking to the world.
The villagers who had fainted from choking on seawater were now waking up one by one.
They were all unaware of what had happened, but after Baili Wanwan's explanation, they were all relieved.
As for the pirates, they were naturally awake as well.
When the pirate captain fell into the sea, his forehead hit a reef, and blood was still flowing out. The blood had seeped into his hair, and some of it even flowed directly into his beard.
Baili Wanwan stared at the pirate captain, then hurriedly took out gauze and herbal medicine, carefully applied the medicine to the pirate captain, and finally tied his head into the shape of a rice dumpling.
“This way, the pain can be lessened a bit. Even though you are a bad person, the government needs to punish you,” Baili Wanwan said seriously.
