Chapter 61 Let’s go to the island and live there together.
"Miaomiao, I'm waiting for my elder sister."
"Well, it's been five days. Why hasn't Big Sister come back yet?" Bai Miao squatted by the boat's railing, holding onto both ends and looking ahead through the gap in the middle. "Is Big Sister hungry?"
"No, when Big Sister left, we packed her plenty of food. There's also food on the island over there. Big Sister is very capable, she'll definitely find it," Bai Xi crouched beside her. She was also nervous, but with her younger sister by her side, she could only suppress her nervousness and reassure herself, "Big Sister is very capable."
"Well, elder sister is very powerful, nothing will happen to her." Bai Miao nodded.
Having said that, the two still did not leave. They still squatted there, looking into the distance expectantly.
Until someone approached.
"Miaomiao."
Even if you don't speak the same language, it is not difficult to pronounce "Miao Miao".
Bai Miao turned around and saw the clothes held by the person behind him. He jumped up excitedly and said, "Sister Lin, is this for me?"
"Yes, try it on and see if it fits. If it doesn't, I can alter it."
"Of course." Bai Miao opened her arms and let the other person put the clothes on her.
After tying the straps, she turned around in place and said, "It fits perfectly."
"Not bad," Lin Yu looked at her with a smile, then looked at Bai Xi, "We'll make one for you too."
"Okay," Bai Xi nodded, "Do you need to measure the size?"
"It's best to measure yourself so you can make clothes that fit you."
They don't have any other tools, so the size measurement is done manually, using the length of the arm and the length of the palm. Although there will be some deviations, it is not required to be 100% consistent, and there will be no problem wearing it in the end.
Since they received the job of making clothes, the three of them have gradually become more practical. Although they may still feel a little dazed occasionally, they will no longer think about unrealistic things. If possible, they want to stay on the boat forever.
Bai Xi saw that they were happier when they concentrated on making clothes, so he simply stopped making clothes himself and gave them all the fabrics he could, allowing them to spend all their time except for eating and sleeping on making clothes.
But this way, she would have less to do on her own.
After measuring the size, Bai Xi and Bai Miao went to the guardrail again and looked quietly into the distance, hoping to see Bai Yu coming on the pirate ship.
Not to mention Bai Miao, even for Bai Xi, this was the first time he had been separated from Bai Yu for such a long time since he was born.
"Second sister, a boat is coming."
Bai Xi narrowed her eyes and saw a small dot coming from the distance. She whispered, "Miaomiao, look carefully. If you feel something is wrong, Second Sister will drive the boat immediately. We need to stay away from the pirate ship."
Bai Xi and Bai Miao were both quite strong, but since they were the only ones in their situation, they chose to stay as far away from the pirates as possible at sea.
Bai Miao nodded and looked carefully at the situation in the distance.
When the dot gradually grew bigger, she suddenly stood up: "Bai, Second Sister, there's the word 'Bai' hanging on that boat. It must be the eldest sister!"
"Really?" Bai Xi looked carefully again for a long time, until the ship got closer, and then he saw the word "Bai" embroidered on the flag on the ship.
There can’t be anyone else with such a flag, it must be Bai Yu who has returned.
Sure enough, as the ship got closer, they gradually saw Bai Yu standing on the deck and waving at them.
The two of them also quickly raised their hands and waved.
“Big sister, big sister——!!!”
"I'm back." Bai Yu replied loudly.
As the ships approached, both sides could see each other more clearly. Bai Yu couldn't wait to share her happy news: "Xiaoxi, Miaomiao, I found the third brother in the pirate's lair. He was sick, but fortunately he was rescued in time. He is much better now and is recuperating on the island. Let's go to the island together."
"Go to the pirate island?" Bai Xi asked in surprise, "Is that possible?"
"It's okay. All the bad pirates have been dealt with." Bai Yu looked at the distance between the two ships, climbed up the guardrail, and jumped directly onto his own boat. "Now there are only a few fishermen left over there, but because of the pirates' evil deeds, these fishermen have nowhere else to go, so we will stay there for the time being and find out where the others have gone."
"Third brother is on the island, aren't others here?"
"When Third Brother was captured, he let everyone else go ahead, but he shouldn't be far away," Bai Yu looked down at his clothes. "I'm going to change first, and then we'll go to the island. Oh, Xiaoxi, take your men and sew some more flags with the word 'white' on them. We'll confiscate all the pirate ships and hang 'white' flags on them. This will make it easier to find them."
Bai Xi nodded quickly: "Okay, there is still a lot of fabric, I will go upstairs with you."
Bai Miao also followed.
Bai Yu looked at her, smiled, picked her up, held her under her armpits, and went to the second floor.
Not long after, Bai Yu changed into clean clothes and came down. He said something to the approaching ship, walked to the cockpit, adjusted the direction of the ship, and headed towards the island where the pirates' lair was.
Things on the island were not actually completely over yet, but Bai Yu was anxious to pick up Bai Xi and Bai Miao, so after getting rid of the pirates on the island, he couldn't wait to set off.
After Bai Yu left, the fishermen began to deal with the pirates' bodies.
They hated pirates so much that they had no sympathy at all when dealing with the bodies. They even agreed that such a death was too easy for the pirates.
"After doing so many evil things, he should be cut into pieces!"
"That's right, it would be too easy for them to die like this."
"Damn it, damn it all!"
The fishermen cursed loudly, and some of them started crying, and then more and more people followed suit.
Of course, I am not crying for the pirates, but for the misfortune of my family.
If it weren't for these pirates, everyone present would have had a happy family, but the pirates appeared and destroyed their families, leaving them with no chance to return home.
…
"In addition to the pirates on the island, I also took my men around the island and dealt with the pirates wandering nearby. However, I estimate that there are still some pirates farther away, and they have not been dealt with yet. Once you arrive on the island, you still need to be careful, as there is a high possibility that pirate ships will return."
"How many pirates are there?"
"A lot, more than I imagined, and they've lost their humanity. To steal more money and food, they've raided many surrounding islands. Most of the fishermen on the islands were robbed that way."
"How could they do this? Others are just staying at home, and they are just as hateful as those people who took us out to sea before."
"We have to find those people too," Bai Yu said. "Let me discuss this with you. Since those fishermen have nowhere to go and the pirates are not a big deal, we may have to stay on this island for a while. Besides looking for our families, we also have to find the people who took us out to sea in the first place. Those people didn't leave us any chance to survive."
"Yes!" Bai Xi recalled what happened back then. "Those people even scattered paper money on us, just to kill us!!!"
"Well, I couldn't figure out who those people were at first, but now that I think about it, the only reason they needed to transport the cargo in such a covert manner was because the cargo was extremely special," Bai Yu said seriously. "Xiaoxi, do you remember that cargo had a very deep draft?"
"I remember, it was very heavy." Bai Xi naturally would not forget, and she was not completely ignorant of external affairs. After thinking for a while, she suddenly said, "Sister, do you think those things could be iron tools?"
"I think so too. It's very likely that those things are ironware," Bai Yu said. "And at this time, hoarding ironware is a serious crime. They asked us to transport it, firstly to conceal their whereabouts, and secondly, it may be because the ironware is too heavy. Putting it all together might attract attention, so they need to be placed separately."
When they first went out to sea, although they had obtained [sign-in] shells, what they signed out was basically food. The three sisters were still ignorant fishing girls, so naturally they had no idea what was on those boats.
Nowadays, they have read a lot of books, and those books are about the "ancient future". They write about many "ancient" things, which are similar to things at their time. They mention many contents that they have never come into contact with, including various banned items.
"In this case, if we can expose this matter, can we also make those people suffer the consequences of their own actions?"
"Maybe, but we have to find someone first," Bai Yu said, bringing up the previous topic, "so we have to stay on this island for a while, okay?"
"Of course, no matter what it is, it's more appropriate for us to stay here," Bai Xi had no objection, but only one question: "Where will we live after we get there?"
"Let's live on the island. I'll have someone clean up a room for us before I leave, and Third Brother can live with us."
As they chatted, the ship got closer and closer to the pirates' island.
Because they didn't dare to get too close before, their ship was still some distance away from the island, and it took some time to get there.
When he was about to get closer, Bai Xi was still a little nervous, but when he got closer and found that all the flags hanging on the pirate ships were white, he felt a little relieved.
The white flag can represent surrender, but here, it also represents their surnames.
As the ship officially docked, the fishermen who remained on the island walked to the shore, chattering about this and that.
The language is still a barrier.
But now, it’s not completely impossible.
Bai Yu held Bai Miao in his arms and lifted her up, letting her act as an interpreter, explaining what both parties meant to each other sentence by sentence.
Bai Yu wants to stay on this island, and she will be the owner of this island in the future.
If the fishermen want to leave, they can leave at any time, but if they don’t want to leave, they can continue to live on the island. There are fields on the island and the sea next to it, so they can still farm and fish on the island.
As for other daily necessities, Bai Yu will take people to the nearby land where many people live to buy and exchange them.
Having said that, Bai Yu turned his head to look at Bai Xi: "Do you want to register?"
"Yes, we need to write down the number of people registered and confirm in the book, and then assign tasks according to each person's situation. This will be more efficient," Bai Xi nodded. "I'll bring Miaomiao to register. There are so many fishermen, and it will be difficult to manage them if they don't register."
"Well, then please register."
Bai Yu said, and then said to Bai Miao: "Miao Miao, tell everyone to have a good rest, we will go to find the third brother first."
Bai Miao nodded obediently and conveyed Bai Yu's words in different languages.
Amidst everyone's cheers, the three sisters walked towards the island.
