Chapter 59: Seeing Inequality on the Road I first need to ascertain the situation of the pirates' lair. ...
"Sister, pirate ship."
Bai Yu looked in the direction Bai Xi pointed and saw the pirate ship with the skull flag at a glance.
This was not the first pirate ship they had seen in the past few days. This sea area seemed to be the territory of pirates. Pirate ships could be seen passing by from time to time, but most of the time, these pirate ships passed by in groups.
In this situation, no matter how strong Bai Yu and Bai Xi were, they did not dare to face the enemy head-on.
This time it was different. In addition to the pirate ship, they also saw an ordinary fishing boat. Judging from the situation, this fishing boat seemed to be facing the pirate ship.
There was some distance between the two sides, but Bai Yu and Bai Xi had good eyesight now and could clearly see the situation over there. The people on the fishing boat were ordinary fishermen, while the people on the pirate ship were forcing the people on the fishing boat to board the pirate ship.
"Oh no, big sister, someone got stabbed and fell into the water."
"Let's go over there."
The two looked at each other, Bai Yu nodded quickly, walked into the control cabin, and operated the boat in that direction.
After the ship approached, the people on the pirate ship quickly discovered the existence of their ship. While controlling the fishermen, they shouted gibberish and operated the pirate ship towards the big ship.
This pirate ship is slightly smaller than the previous one, and it looks lower when you get close.
But the people on the boat did not care about the difference in the boats. Instead, they looked at their boat with covetous eyes, pointed knives at them, and some even approached the ladder to get on the boat.
Looking at their appearance, Bai Yu knew that these people were not good people either. He took the iron rod that Bai Xi had specially found and smashed it hard at the person who was about to climb the ladder.
With a hit of the stick, the man fell directly into the water and seemed to be dead.
It was this stick that made the pirates so angry that they raised their knives and shouted.
Bai Yu didn't listen to them, but walked directly to the head of the deck, jumped over with force on his feet, and then knocked all the knife-wielding pirates into the water one by one with a stick.
Then he knocked on the boat with a cold face.
The crew members were knocked out by her, and looking at the escaped fish lying on the deck, and then looking at Bai Yu holding a stick in his hand, they all knelt down and begged for mercy.
Bai Yu didn't see any ruthlessness in their eyes. He turned around and shouted to the second floor of his own boat, "Miaomiao, come out and translate for me."
After a while, Bai Miao opened the window of the second-floor cabin and asked, "Sister, what do you want to translate?"
"Ask them if they have ever killed anyone." Bai Yu pointed at the kneeling crew members.
The crew members didn't understand Bai Yu's words, but they kept talking in order to survive.
Bai Miao listened for a while, roughly understanding what they were saying, and then asked, "Have you ever killed anyone?"
The crew members heard the familiar words and looked up quickly. They were startled to see Bai Miao on the second floor, but they quickly realized that this was a chance to survive and quickly told him about their situation.
"Come one by one. I can't hear so many people talking." Bai Miao pointed with her little finger at the window. "From left to right, tell us your situation one by one. Don't lie. I can tell if any of you are lying."
After she said this, the first person on the left immediately spoke up and talked about his situation.
While Bai Miao was listening, he said to Bai Yu, "This man is a captured fisherman. He was rowing the boat the whole time and he never killed anyone."
Bai Yu nodded, pointed at the people and asked them to stand on the side of the fishermen.
The second person continued to speak, and he was also a fisherman who was captured.
Then came the third person, and the fourth person.
Bai Yu listened to Bai Miao's words and observed the situation of these people. He realized that something was wrong with several of them, but they all said they were fishermen, so he didn't say much.
After Bai Miao finished asking all her questions, she spoke: "Miao Miao, now you can ask who among them lied."
Bai Miao asked according to her words.
As soon as he finished speaking, three people jumped out and pointed at the other three people.
The three people accused have been crying out for injustice.
"They say they are really fishermen, and the people who point out their identities are bad guys, sent by pirates to keep an eye on them," Bai Miao said, tilting her head. "Sister, who among these people is telling the truth?"
"Of course it's these three people." Bai Yu directly took out the three people who jumped out first and pressed them down on the deck. "Miaomiao, ask the remaining people about the situation of these three people."
Bai Miao asked again, and the rest of the people became excited, pointing at the three people who were pinned down by Bai Yu and cursing.
At this point, the situation is already very clear.
Not only did these three pirates commit many evil things, they also wanted to take advantage of Bai Yu's ignorance and let her attack ordinary fishermen.
Faced with such people, Bai Yu was not polite. After asking Bai Miao to turn around, he hit each of them with a stick and threw them into the sea to feed the fish along with the fish that had escaped the net before.
After these three people were dealt with, the surviving fishermen who were forced to help the pirates knelt down again.
But this time, they were not as cautious as before. Their expressions were full of relief at surviving the disaster. Even the fishermen who had just encountered the pirates were very excited.
At this moment, someone swam over from a distance. Upon closer inspection, it was one of the fishermen who had been chopped and thrown into the sea.
Bai Yu lowered the rope and pulled the man over.
Afterwards, he asked Bai Xi to get some hemostatic herbs and apply them to him to stop the bleeding temporarily.
Bai Miao also came downstairs at this time to help Bai Yu communicate with the fishermen.
Bai Yu asked: "We want to go to the pirate's lair. Do you know the exact location of the pirate's lair?"
"The pirate's lair is very dangerous, with many pirates on it," one of them said. "Although you are strong, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to handle so many pirates."
"But we have to go. We were separated from our relatives before. Judging from the pirate situation here, they may have encountered pirates before." Bai Yu took the portrait that Bai Miao brought down. "You are boatmen, so you should be able to move around the pirate's lair. Have you seen these people?"
As the portraits were removed one by one, most people shook their heads.
But when it came to one of the paintings, someone fell into deep thought.
Bai Yu immediately looked at the portrait and found that it was Bai Wei. He breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Bai Wei was a man, and compared to a woman, the situation would be slightly better even if he was caught by pirates.
But if Bai Wei was really caught, his situation would be very dangerous. Bai Yu immediately asked: "Have you seen him?"
"I've seen someone who looks like the one in the portrait, but I'm not sure if it's the one you're looking for."
"Then do you know his name?"
The other man shook his head. "The people captured in the pirate lair came from many different places. Most of them couldn't speak the same language. Even we couldn't understand each other much, only a few simple words. The pirates were afraid that we would unite and attack, so they didn't dare to group people from the same place together."
"Is that so?" Bai Yu frowned and looked at the portrait again. "Even so, we still have to go find someone. Is anyone willing to join me in finding the pirate lair? We want to use this pirate ship to go there."
She said this, but she felt that these people might not agree, so she added, "It doesn't matter if you don't want to. I will find a way to temporarily place you on a nearby island, and then get a few pirate ships to take you home."
After saying that, she waited quietly for Bai Miao to translate.
She was waiting for their thoughts, but she didn't expect that after Bai Miao translated, these people all shed silent tears.
After crying, one of them wiped away his tears and said through gritted teeth: "We will go with you to the pirate's lair and kill the pirates, right?"
Bai Yu paused and spoke from their perspective: "Killing pirates? That would be dangerous. Maybe it would be better for you to go back."
"Even if I die, I'll kill every pirate I can," another man said. "The pirates came straight to my house to arrest me. I'm still alive, but my family is all dead. There's no point in me continuing to live, so I'm going with you. We'll kill every pirate we can, even if there are two. Even if I die in the pirate's lair, as long as I can kill a few pirates, I'll have an explanation for my family after I die."
"I'm going with you too. My family has also been in trouble."
"I... Although I wasn't captured by pirates and rushed home directly, I was with my father when I went out to sea. I'm alive, but my father is dead. I want to kill pirates. Take me with you, please."
"I'm going too."
"I want to go too!"
These crew members all have more or less grudges against the pirates for having killed their relatives, but it's just a matter of how many relatives have been killed. Originally, they had no room to fight back when they were staying in the pirates' lair, but now they finally have the opportunity to kill the pirates, and they are all looking forward to it.
When they talked about killing the pirates, the eyes of these fishermen, who originally looked gentle, suddenly became bloodshot.
This was the first time Bai Yu felt such intense emotions.
She had to go to the pirate's lair.
Since these people might have seen Bai Wei, the people on the same boat with him might also have gotten into trouble and been captured by pirates. She couldn't even gamble. The pirates were extremely vicious. Every day an ordinary person stayed on the island would be a day more dangerous.
"Okay, I'll take you with me."
Bai Xi stood up: "Then I'll go pack my things."
Bai Yu looked up: "Xiaoxi, you guys are not coming with me. You and Miaomiao should stay on our own boat."
"Sister, how can this be possible?" Bai Xi refused subconsciously, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone."
"I'll go alone so I can avoid danger in time, but if you come with me, I'll have to distract myself and take care of you," Bai Yu said. "Just stay on the boat and stay away. There won't be any problems. I'll take them to the pirates' lair."
Bai Xi wanted to say something, but Bai Yu spoke again: "It's not just you two on the boat, there are also them."
Bai Xi turned around and saw three people who were making clothes seriously.
Taking advantage of the fact that others didn't understand, she directly said to Bai Yu: "Send them to the forest, they can live there."
"Of course I can, but not now," Bai Yu said. "I'm really concerned about your safety. We'll use the pirate ship to get close to the pirate lair. I can change into men's clothes and pretend. You're still so young, it's hard to pretend, and the pirates will easily see through your flaws. Of course, you can also go, but you have to wait until I can confirm the situation of the pirate lair."
Bai Xi looked at his own figure and thought of Bai Miao's short stature.
If Bai Miao pretended, he could only pretend to be a captured fisherman, and would suffer a little.
Bai Yu is strong enough now. Not to mention encountering ten or eight pirates, even if he encounters twenty or thirty of them, it won't be a big problem. Even if there are more, Bai Yu shouldn't be stupid enough to bump into them.
Bai Xi finally compromised: "Then I'll go prepare tools and dry food for you."
Bai Yu nodded: "Okay."
