Chapter 62 needs to be distributed. Everyone has this strange strength.
"Third brother."
"Xiaoxi, Miaomiao." Bai Wei was lying on the bed, with layer upon layer of bandages wrapped around his body, and even his face didn't look too good, but when he saw Bai Xi and Bai Miao coming over, he still smiled.
"Third brother, how are you?" Bai Miao ran over and asked, lying beside his bed.
Bai Wei suddenly remembered that before they had the accident, Bai Miao lay on the boat and asked him, "Third brother, how are you doing recently", as if that day was just yesterday. But now, Bai Miao is no longer a three and a half year old child, she is almost five years old.
"Third brother is fine, how are you, Miaomiao?"
"Miaomiao is doing well too," Bai Miao said, lowering his head to open his backpack and pulling out a steamed bun. "Third brother, I'll give you a bun. It's good for your health."
"Miaomiao, eat by yourself." Bai Wei knew at a glance that this was the rations prepared for her by Bai Yu and Bai Xi, so that she could eat when she was hungry. Naturally, she would not fight with the children for the food.
"Third brother, eat," Bai Miao said, grabbing the bun and bringing it to Bai Wei's mouth. "Eat well, drink well, and stay healthy."
"Okay, I'll eat it," Bai Wei said in surprise as he opened his mouth and took a bite. "It's meaty."
"Well, is it delicious?" Bai Miao squatted beside his bed and asked him with a smile with big eyes.
"It's delicious, very delicious." Bai Wei grabbed the bun and ate it in small bites.
After chatting with Bai Wei for a while, he looked at Bai Xi and Bai Yu, and after carefully observing them for a while, he said, "You have grown a lot taller than before. It seems that you have been doing well since the accident."
"Yes, we are all doing well. We don't have to worry about food and clothing." Bai Xi nodded, looking at Bai Wei's appearance, his voice choked. "But you, Third Brother, look much thinner than before."
"He's a little thin, but he's okay. At least he survived, right?" Before Bai Yu appeared, Bai Wei was already dying. He was very open-minded and didn't think much of the suffering he had endured before. He just felt that being rescued before dying was a great luck.
Before this, what he was most worried about were Bai Yu and the other two.
At least other children have adults around them, but there are only three of them. Without adult support, life will be very difficult.
Bai Wei finished eating half of the bun, held it in his hand, and talked about what happened before: "Actually, before we encountered the pirates, our situation was not bad. When they left, they just scattered some paper money and didn't hurt us. We live on the water, so even if we moved to the sea, we still have ways to survive."
"Were you close to the island at that time?" Bai Yu asked.
Bai Wei shook his head.
Bai Yu didn't ask them how they lived without fresh water.
Living in the sea, you can eat fish. Although it is not good to eat it raw, it is not a big problem to eat freshly slaughtered fish raw. At least it can fill your stomach.
As for fresh water, there are only two solutions: rainwater or...your own water.
"What happened next? How did we encounter pirates?" Bai Yu asked.
"We spent some time finding an inhabited island. Although we couldn't speak the language, the people were quite nice and let us stay there temporarily. The conditions weren't great, but they allowed us to live on land." Bai Wei adjusted his sitting position and accidentally bumped into something, making a slight hiss of pain. He continued, "And so we lived peacefully there for over a year, until pirates showed up."
Bai Yu frowned: "The pirates just went ashore?"
"Yes," Bai Wei nodded. "The pirates arrived suddenly. Everyone on the shore knew how cruel and vicious they were. They didn't want to see their women and elderly family members captured, so they gathered together to intercept the pirates. In the process... many people died..."
"Why did the pirates interrogate you?" Bai Yu asked again.
Bai Wei: "I'm not entirely sure, but I have a vague idea. I heard that over a year ago, someone shipped several million taels of silver to that island and hid it somewhere secret. The pirates wanted to find that silver, so they had to find the people who originally lived on the island. That's why they tortured me to get me to reveal the possible whereabouts of those who escaped."
Bai Yu heard the key words from his mouth: "More than a year ago?"
"I know what you're thinking. In fact, ever since I learned about this, I've also been wondering if the group of people the pirates mentioned hiding the silver over a year ago were the same ones who led us out," Bai Wei looked at her. "But I really don't know anything. Before I was captured by the pirates, I never heard any news from those fishermen."
"Although you didn't get the news, the news the pirates got wouldn't be groundless." Bai Yu was sure that the pirates wouldn't go looking for the so-called silver for no reason, but now that most of the pirates on the island had been captured, it was difficult to determine where the news came from.
A thought flashed through his mind, and Bai Yu suppressed the idea of pursuing this matter in his heart. He continued, "Now that the pirates on the island have been wiped out, most of the remaining fishermen have chosen not to return home and continue to settle on the island. I will let them take a boat to travel around to search for people. By the way, Third Brother, are all of them with you?"
Bai Wei shook his head. "Back then, when we were forced to transport the goods out, all the ships were scattered. We searched for a long time and only found my uncle, aunt, nephew, and niece. I don't know where the rest are."
There was more than one person on Bai Wei's boat. Besides him, there were Bai Wei's younger brother and sister, his uncle, aunt, nephews and nieces, and a total of six people who escaped.
In addition to these two boats, the Bai family also has one for the second uncle and aunt Bai He, one for the eldest brother with his wife and children, one for the second brother with his wife and children, and the other three boats whose people are unsure of where to go.
"No matter where they are now, we must find them," Bai Yu said directly. "Third brother, tell us the address where we were captured by the pirates. We will send a ship there to search for them first. As for the other ships, I will have them fly our Bai family flag and go around searching for people. If someone from our family sees them, they should be able to recognize them."
Bai Wei nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"No, we're a family, we should take care of each other," Bai Yu said, looking at the exhausted Bai Wei. "You should rest well and heal your wounds. You can go out again after you're well. You have so many wounds on your body. If they get infected, it will be difficult to deal with if you don't take good care of them."
Bai Wei nodded, then asked, "What exactly is inflammation?"
Bai Yu thought for a moment and said, "Once it gets inflamed, the body is prone to ulceration. I can't tell you exactly what it is. When you get better, let Miaomiao teach you how to read and write, and then you'll know."
Bai Wei looked at Bai Miao blankly.
Bai Miao stood up quickly: "Third brother, don't underestimate me. Miaomiao is very capable. I taught my elder sister and second sister."
"Ah?" Bai Wei looked at Bai Yu and Bai Xi.
They both nodded.
Bai Yu: "Miaomiao is smart and has a photographic memory. We have to read many books many times before we can remember the content, but she only needs to read it once. So Bai Xi and I will ask her if we don't understand anything."
Bai Xi continued, "Not only that, Miaomiao has also learned many languages from books, so she can understand what the fishermen on the island say. When you can get out of bed, you can ask Miaomiao to translate for you, and you will be able to communicate smoothly with those fishermen."
Bai Miao put his hands on his hips, looked up at Bai Wei, and pouted dissatisfiedly: "Third brother, you don't believe me."
"Believe me, believe me. How could I not believe you?" Bai Wei said quickly. No matter whether it was true or not, just coax him. It was like that before. "Then when Third Brother gets better, Miaomiao will teach me how to read and help me translate for the fishermen, okay?"
"Of course, Miaomiao is very capable," Bai Miao clenched his fists, "Third brother, get well soon."
Bai Wei nodded: "Okay."
He is now in the recovery period. After getting the approximate direction of the island and the approximate hiding location of his family members who stayed on the island from him, the three sisters did not disturb him and let him have a good rest.
Afterwards, they determined the final location of the island through the direction Bai Wei pointed, the time of sailing, the descriptions of the remaining fishermen who were captured with him, and Bai Miao's familiarity with the terrain.
"It's right here, absolutely."
"Then we must find it as soon as possible."
"Well, I'll go," Bai Yu said, looking at the fishermen who had suffered as much as Bai Wei, but looked better than Bai Wei. "Do you want to come with me?"
"want."
"I want to go too. My family is still there."
"I'll go too. I know exactly how to get there."
"But if you go, what if the pirates outside come over?" someone said. It was the person next to Bai Wei when Bai Yu rescued Bai Wei before. Bai Yu could understand his words without translation.
"Don't worry," Bai Yu pointed at Bai Xi beside him, "This is my sister. Although she's small, she's just as strong as me, so even if the pirates come back, she can handle it. But you need to keep a close eye on them and don't let them sneak up on you. If that happens, my two sisters won't be in big trouble, but you will be in great danger."
The person asking the question looked at Bai Xi, as if assessing her strength.
Bai Xi didn't say anything. She walked to the side and easily lifted a stone block, as if what was in front of her was not a stone block, but a piece of tofu. Her state was even more relaxed than lifting a piece of tofu.
This move not only stunned the person asking the question, but also the people around him.
“What a great strength.”
"Is that really a stone?"
"How could this be fake? No wonder these two sisters dared to barge in. It turns out they both have this incredible strength."
"This is great! The two sisters are so strong. We can stay on the island and not be afraid even if the pirates come back. No matter how many pirates come, we can handle them!"
"Yes, now I can finally stay here with peace of mind. I saw a good piece of land nearby that is perfect for growing crops. I have to hurry and plant it."
Bai Miao translated softly in Bai Xi's ear.
Bai Xi nodded as he listened. When someone mentioned farming, he spoke up, "Since we've occupied the pirate island, everything on it belongs to us. Although there's a lot of stuff on the island, we still need to arrange it carefully. Everyone gather this afternoon. We'll register your names and what you're good at. Then I'll arrange your work on the island."
"Should we do anything for you?" someone asked.
Bai Xi shook his head. "It's not like you're working for us, it's also working for you. Those who work will get paid. We'll find a way to find more food and cloth, and you can exchange your wages for food. Of course, if you don't want to be assigned to other tasks, you can also go fishing on your own."
“Is the food the food grown in the fields?”
"Of course, it's food that will keep you full."
Bai Xi's words were translated by Bai Miao, and the fishermen couldn't help but look happy when they heard it.
People living near the sea can eat from the sea, but eating only food from the sea cannot fill their stomachs. If they can also eat food grown in the fields, they will naturally be willing to work.
