Chapter 314 Big Misunderstanding
314
The young man originally had a somewhat friendly look on his face and was about to respond to Gu Yanxi's kind inquiry, but when his eyes inadvertently swept across the eye-catching Japanese logo on Tang Yue and his crew's ship, his face instantly became gloomy, as if covered by a layer of frost.
His muscles were tense, every line of his face showed vigilance and defensiveness, and his eyes revealed undisguised anger and hostility.
What does this guy mean? Does he think he'll believe him just by saying a few words? None of the Japanese are good people.
In this sea area, the appearance of Japanese ships means seizure and threat. Past disputes and recent conflicts flashed quickly through his mind. New and old grudges intertwined, and his heart was filled with anger.
He pretended to nod to Gu Yanxi, then quickly lowered his head, using seemingly unintentional movements to cover up his gestures, sending a series of obscure signals to the surrounding fishermen.
His fingers quickly changed shape, sometimes clenching into fists, sometimes pointing at Tang Yue and their boat, his arms trembling slightly, a manifestation of anger and tension. His eyes often wandered over Gu Yanxi and Tang Yue's boat, with a hidden and forbearing look in his eyes.
The surrounding fishermen understood what he meant, and their originally tired faces were instantly filled with fighting spirit. They quickly gripped the tools in their hands, some picked up the fishing spears, and some wrapped the ropes tightly around their hands, ready to engage in battle at any time. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
Gu Yanxi keenly noticed the young man's peculiarity, followed his gaze, and instantly understood what he had misunderstood.
He frowned, took a step forward, and stomped his feet heavily on the deck, making a dull sound. At the same time, he stared at the young man: "Wait! Did you misunderstand something? We are not Japanese!"
His voice echoed on the sea, with a hint of seriousness, but was ruthlessly blown away by the sea breeze.
The young man acted as if he didn't hear Gu Yanxi's voice, and the fishermen on the nearby fishing boats began to get restless.
Gu Yanxi was getting a little anxious. He didn't want his own people to fight against each other, especially since these were ordinary people who had just fought for the Chinese sea. He waved at the young man while trying to explain their identities and purpose.
He spoke very quickly, his words pouring out like a rapid-fire cannon: "Hey, kid, we really are Chinese. We have to verify it, right? You're so arbitrary and it's easy for your own people to fight against your own people."
Tang Yue stood at the bow of the boat, taking it all in. The young man couldn't hear Gu Yanxi's calls at all at this moment. The timing of their appearance was too coincidental, and it was hard not to think too much.
Seeing the fishermen supporting their heavy bodies and quietly loading their usable muskets and cannons, she couldn't think too much. She quickly raised her jade hand and quickly formed seals in the air.
Her fingers danced nimbly, as if weaving an invisible web. Every movement was smooth and natural, with a unique rhythm.
As she formed the seals, an invisible wave of spiritual energy spread out from her center, spreading outward in all directions. This wave of spiritual energy was like the ripples caused by a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, quickly spreading to every corner.
Wherever the spiritual power reached, the air seemed to be solidified. The fishermen only felt a powerful force binding them tightly, and their bodies instantly became stiff and unable to move.
Their faces were filled with fear and confusion, their eyes wide, their mouths slightly open, wanting to shout but no sound came out. Their bodies remained in attacking postures, some had just raised their harpoons, others were aiming, but the sudden spiritual power froze them in place, as if they were frozen in time.
Gu Yanxi breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head. "That was a close call." He shrugged helplessly, looking at the young man on the fishing boat not far away, staring at him intently. He shrugged again helplessly and looked at Tang Yue.
"Can they hear me?"
Tang Yue nodded. Gu Yanxi then turned back to look at the young man, "Hey, buddy, you really misunderstood. We are really Chinese." As he spoke, many Chinese people had already walked out of the cabin.
They looked at the Chinese people on the fishing boat, tears in their eyes. Although they didn't know these people, they were their compatriots. Seeing them, they felt like they were home.
I even couldn't control my emotions and started crying.
"They are Chinese, our compatriots. We are going home, haha, woo woo, we are going home."
"Yes, these are our compatriots. We are home, home. From now on, we will never be bullied by those damned Japanese again."
"Yeah, that's great, that's great."
As they spoke, some people knelt down before Tang Yue and Gu Yanxi. They were so excited and so happy. Finally, their only hope in this life had finally come true.
Gu Yanxi couldn't finish what he was about to say. He quickly reached out and pulled the man up. The two fishing boats were not far away now, and it seemed that the sea breeze couldn't bear to disturb the touching scene at this moment. Therefore, the fishermen in China also heard the voices here.
The young man wondered, had he really misjudged these people? Were they truly Chinese? Were they just acting?
Then he laughed at himself. Who were they? Who would go to such great lengths to trick a few fishermen who couldn't even get enough to eat?
The other fishermen also had their own thoughts. It seemed that they were really not Japanese. They almost fought with their own people just now.
Tang Yue saw the fishermen's expressions relax a little, knowing that they must have figured it out. She withdrew the spiritual power. When the fishermen realized they could move, they looked at each other and immediately knelt to thank Mazu.
Mazu was smart, knowing they had nearly made a mistake, so she restrained them, preventing them from moving. They had to thank Mazu for appearing, which had saved them from making a serious mistake.
Tang Yue stood on the deck and watched quietly. Gu Yanxi had already asked everyone to stand up. The people on both sides of the boat looked at each other. The young man scratched his head with his uninjured arm embarrassedly, "Sorry, I misunderstood you just now. However, your boat..."
He pointed to the mark on the ship. Gu Yanxi nodded nonchalantly, then replied expressionlessly, "This was given to us by Japan."
Young man...
The Chinese behind Gu Yanxi...
However, no one continued, as the fishermen's boats were already unable to sail. If it weren't for Tang Yue, these boats would have sunk to the bottom of the sea by now.
Gu Yanxi lowered the ladder on the boat and said, "You all should get on board first. Your boat will probably have to be towed back."
The fishermen looked at each other, and then their eyes focused on the young man. The young man felt that Gu Yanxi was not a bad person, so he and the other fishermen supported each other and walked to the escalator.
The Chinese people on Tang Yue's boat could no longer wait. Seeing their compatriots suffering, they felt very uncomfortable and rushed forward to help.
Tang Yue controlled her spiritual power to pull all the fishing boats under their big ship, and the fishermen began to slowly climb onto the boat.
Tang Yue didn't watch from here, she went into the cabin. Fishing boats could be seen here, which proved that this place was not far from China.
She went into her room and took out the space ring she had made on her first attempt. Inside the ring, Tang Yue carefully selected all the machinery, electrical appliances and books currently available in China. Finally, she didn't forget to put in all the gold bricks she had looted from Guanqi County.
At the same time, she also made a phonograph using materials from the treasure house on the pirate island, and wrote down the instructions on the paper. In the phonograph, she told Chang Yin all the important things that had happened recently.
As for how he picked out the useful information, it was none of her business. She had a feeling that Chang Yin would come to Zhougang to pick her up. She hadn't been to the Hatoyama family yet, and now she didn't want to go back.
As long as she saw Chang Yin, she might not be able to go to Japan. So, she had to run away now.
