Chapter 68 Found the person! Xiaoxi is coming in a big boat!
"That's the boat of the second young lady of the Bai family."
"Are you sure?"
"It's confirmed. Our people saw the second young lady of the Bai family getting off the boat. There's no mistake."
"We never imagined that the people we so easily captured would become our biggest obstacle. These two women from the Bai family have delayed us so much. Now that they're gone, there's no one on that island who can withstand our attack."
"In this way, can we get our weapons back?"
"In addition to weapons, there's also a lot of food on that island. After we capture the island, it will become our rations. When we return with these weapons and food, we will definitely help our master conquer the world!"
"Luckily, we were prepared, but...will it really work this time? I heard the Bai family has three sisters. Even though the two older ones are gone, isn't there still the younger one? She seems quite smart."
"No matter how clever they are, they're only eight years old. What good can they do? The two older ones who could hinder us are incredibly strong. Not to mention the eldest, the second one can even shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away. Luckily, we had them try it out beforehand. Otherwise, if we had rushed in rashly, we'd be in big trouble."
"I don't know where they learned these skills. From what I know, even the strongest martial arts masters are weaker than them."
"No rush. Once we reach the island, we can set up an ambush. By then, they won't know what's going on and won't be prepared. It will be a perfect opportunity to catch them in a trap."
"Like they did to the pirates?"
"The difference is that they do it for themselves, and we do it for the interests of the country."
…
"Little Miss—!"
"Something happened, something serious happened!!!"
"It's bad. They've already attacked. Our people couldn't dodge in time. Many of them were injured."
"Those people came with great force, as if they wanted to break through immediately."
When Bai Miao walked out of the house, bad news came one after another.
She quickly walked to a high place, took out the telescope she got from the modern plane and looked into the distance. She found that just as the news reported, the people who attacked the island this time were indeed aggressive, more planned than those who attacked the island in the past few days, and more people were dispatched.
After watching for a moment, Bai Miao had made a decision. He took out a whistle from his bag, put it in his mouth and blew it hard.
Soon, whistles were heard one after another on the island.
When the whistle sounded, the islanders who were originally fighting against the newcomers quickly fled in all directions and soon disappeared from the attackers' sight. At the same time, Bai Miao also quickly left and hid in the house with his men. Soon after, the house became empty and no one was seen.
…
"They're all gone."
"They must be hiding. This island is so small, they can't get far even if they hide. Send people to search. So many people are injured. We must act immediately while they suffer heavy losses. Otherwise, by the time the two sisters who left react, it will be too late."
"yes!"
…
"Second Miss, good news! Someone on the shore claimed to have seen your eldest and second brothers. Although they look older now than in the painting, they claimed to be them and that they were seen just a few days ago. If we catch up with them now, we have a good chance of finding them."
Bai Xi was overjoyed and was about to send someone to chase after him when someone came galloping on horseback from a distance, shouting as he rode.
"Second Miss, something happened!"
Bai Xi immediately went up to him and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Second Miss, we who stayed at the beach received news that we saw a large group of people heading towards our island. They are very likely going to attack us."
"Second Miss, we have to go back immediately!"
Bai Xi was not anxious, but just asked: "When did it happen?"
"It's been several days since we received the news. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."
"It will take several days. They plan to end the battle quickly. If something happens on the island, it will be too late for us to go there now." Bai Xi whispered.
"But if we don't go there now, won't something happen to our island?"
"No, have you forgotten the tunnels I asked you to dig?" Bai Xi looked at the others and continued as they realized what was happening. "Tunnels have continued to be dug over the years. If anything goes wrong, Miaomiao will react. Although this may affect the food supply above ground, they won't be in too much danger."
When she said this, everyone reacted.
"With the tunnel there, the young lady will surely have the opportunity to command."
"Yes, the young lady is so smart. As long as she enters the tunnel, she will be fine. If we go back now, it will affect her operations."
"Well, it's only a matter of a few days. We'll find them quickly and go back immediately," Bai Xi said, looking at the river. "Big brother and second brother are right here. We've been looking for them for years. If we don't find them now, we don't know when we'll find them again. As for the island, don't worry, Miaomiao is there. She'll be fine."
…
"Miss, we've taken inventory. Two people were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured. No one died."
"Young lady, their people are searching for us up there, but the entrances to our tunnels are all well hidden, and they haven't found any of them yet."
"They ate up a lot of our food!"
“Some of our fields are destroyed!”
Bai Miao's face was stern and serious. He looked at the people in front of him and said seriously: "The eaten food, the destroyed fields, and the injured people, all of these must be avenged. You must listen to me and do what I say..."
Bai Miao had no experience in fighting, and she didn't even have any experience in fighting with others. After all, she had never been separated from Bai Yu and Bai Xi before. As long as the two of them were there, they could solve any situation that required a fight.
Bai Miao's advantage is that she has read enough books, and those books are all modern. When it comes to war, the detailed descriptions that can be written in books are almost all battles where the outnumbered side wins. She can find many battles similar to the current one.
She didn't need a lot of experience, as long as she did what was written in the book, she would be able to fight against the large number of people who were now roaming around the island at will.
…
“There are too few fish here.”
"There's not much fish and they're trying to lower the price. With only this much, it's hard for us to make a living. Brother, let's move to another place."
Bai Qiao also looked worried as he looked at the few fish and shrimps that were caught.
They came here accidentally and could not speak the language of the locals, so they faced great obstacles in buying and selling things. Even though they had learned some of the language spoken by the locals in the past two years, they still faced price pressure. For the same fish and shrimp, the locals could get more supplies than them.
But there was no way. When they were in their own country, they would always encounter price pressure. What's more, they are now in a foreign country, unable to speak the language and with only two families living together. Now they only hope to be able to exchange for supplies and don't ask for anything else.
But the fish and shrimp in the river are too small. If they lower the price any further, they will just go hungry every day.
In the past two years, both Bai Qiao, Bai Yang, and their wives have aged much more than before.
"Let's go early tomorrow morning."
"good."
Baiyang lowered his head and swung the pole. At this moment, he heard shouts coming from afar.
“Big brother, second brother!!!”
"Who's calling us big brother and second brother? Why does it sound like we're speaking from our side?"
Bai Qiao looked up, squinting at the flag on the nearby ship. He raised his hand and pulled Bai Yang: "Look at that ship. Isn't there a 'white' embroidered on the flag hanging on it? It's the same white as ours."
"It looks a bit similar, but I can't see it clearly." Bai Yang also squinted his eyes to look.
At this moment, the voice in the distance sounded again.
"Big brother, second brother, big brother, second brother, I am Bai Xi, big brother - second brother - I am Bai Xi!!!"
"Brother, did that person call her Bai Xi?"
"It seems so. It really does look a bit like it." Bai Qiao walked forward and looked carefully at the distance. "The more I look at the words on that flag, the more they look like 'Bai'. Lao Er, is that Bai?"
"Yeah, it seems to be true."
As the boat got closer, the sound became clearer.
At this time, the people in the cabin also came out: "Why did I hear someone shouting 'I am Baixi'? It really sounds a bit like the sound of a stream."
"Second sister-in-law," Bai Xi saw the person walking out of the cabin and immediately waved his hands and shouted, "Second sister-in-law——"
"Xiaoxi," the second sister-in-law recognized her voice, walked quickly to the bow of the boat, and shouted at the top of her voice, "Xiaoxi, is that you?"
"It's me, I'm Xiaoxi, second sister-in-law."
"Xiaoxi, it's really you," the second sister-in-law burst into tears and turned around to call out, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, it's Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi is here, Xiaoxi is here in a big boat!"
My sister-in-law came over from the other end with a shovel.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was closer, and Bai Xi's figure became clearer in the sight of the people here. The children were even younger when they were separated. Their memories gradually became blurred over the years, but at this time they gradually came back to their senses and shouted "Auntie" in the sharp voice unique to children.
At this time, both sides were able to confirm each other's identities. The adults stopped shouting and just watched quietly as their long-separated relatives appeared.
Bai Xi didn't let them worry for too long. When he was closer and no longer had to shout, he told them what he was most concerned about: "Uncle and aunt are all fine. We found them a few years ago. Don't worry."
"Are mom and dad okay? Have you found them?"
"Yes, we found them, they are fine," Bai Xi said directly as the boat got closer, "but there is a small crisis now. You guys follow me first, and we will talk as we walk. Don't waste time here."
When she said this, both families nodded.
"Okay, we'll go with you."
"We'll all listen to you. We'll all listen to you."
As they spoke, Baiqiao and Baiyang immediately went to row the boat.
As the boats moved forward side by side, Bai Xi took the smaller children from the two boats to the larger boat.
They are older than Bai Miao, but their current body shapes are much smaller than Bai Miao's. Bai Xi holds Bai Miao in his arms as if he is holding Bai Miao when he was only five or six years old.
But fortunately, we finally found the person.
