Chapter 72 Interruption They were willing to listen to and do what Bai Yu said.
"Such a big island, are you in charge of it?"
"There is not only this island, there are other islands, but they are a little far from here. You should settle down here now. When I have time in the future, I will take you to visit another island." Bai Yu said.
"This is incredible," Bai He exclaimed. "If we had known you had such a large island, we would have found a way to come find you long ago."
Bai Yu nodded and replied with a smile: "That's right."
During the days since he came back, Bai Yu had already known about the situation of his second uncle's family. Although they said that their lives in the past few years were not too bad, they were still living in a foreign land and could not speak the language. It was good enough for them to make a living and it was difficult for them to make any further progress.
So when Bai Yu asked them to come back with him, they agreed without thinking, and at that time Bai Yu had not yet explained the situation here in detail.
Now that they are back here, their lives will definitely be better than in the past few years.
When they got closer, they could see many ships with "white" flags docked by the island, which made Bai He and the others who came back with them breathe a sigh of relief.
But they finally relaxed completely when they saw their loved ones waiting for them on the shore.
Living overseas, separated by the vast ocean, and belonging to an ordinary family, I originally thought that I would never see my relatives in this life, but I never expected that one day I would meet my relatives again, and they would be all relatives who had lost contact.
As soon as the boat docked, Uncle Bai Er quickly got off the boat and hugged Uncle Bai Da.
After getting ashore, the second aunt kept pulling Bai Wei to look at it.
"Back then...back then you were captured by pirates...are you okay?"
"I'm fine, mother. You can tell by looking at me now. It's definitely true." Bai Wei didn't elaborate on his situation at the time, but simply said, "Not long after I was captured by pirates, Xiaoyu and the others came to the island and rescued me. But when we tried to look for you later, we couldn't find you. I thought..."
"We encountered huge waves and lost our way, but we were rescued by a kind boat fleet," said my second aunt, without going into detail about the difficulties she encountered. "We've been doing well these past few years."
On the other side, Bai Yu was also surprised to see the extra people on the island: "Big Brother, Second Brother."
"Xiaoxi found us," Baiqiao knew what she wanted to ask and took the initiative to say, "When we came here, you had already gone out to sea. Fortunately, you were found this time."
"I thought I'd look for you guys after I got back, but I didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise this time. This way, our family is truly reunited," Bai Yu said happily. "How have you been doing on the island these days?"
"Very good, it couldn't be better than these days," Bai Qiao nodded, "Life is even better now than when we were inland."
Life at sea is hard, and life in the inland wasn't particularly easy before. After all, we are people living on the water, without a fixed residence. Our lives depend on the boats we carry day and night. We are afraid of not getting any harvest, not having enough food to eat, and we are also afraid of sudden storms and being adrift.
Now that we are on the island, not only do we have a place to stay on the shore, but the food, clothing and other necessities are also much better than before.
It is a good day for all the Bai family members to see relatives they haven't seen for many years here.
After the greetings, the family gathered together for a big meal.
"I never thought that our family would be reunited one day. I have to thank Xiaoyu, Xiaoxi, and Miaomiao for all this. If it weren't for you, we would never have met again in this life."
"Yes, thank you very much."
"The three of you sisters are the most promising in our family."
None of the Bai family members knew how to drink, so they used tea instead of wine when they raised their glasses. They didn't get drunk, but their eyes turned red as they drank, as if they were drunk and crying.
Even though Bai Qiao and Bai Yang had been brought back for several days, they were still aroused by the pain in their hearts and could not help crying.
The three sisters were relatively better off. Although they had been separated from the Bai family, they had always been together and had never experienced the pain of separation.
However, at this moment, looking at those people crying bitterly, I felt a little emotional.
Bai Xi said: "Luckily, I found them all, otherwise I don't know how much pain I would have gone through outside."
Bai Yu nodded: "Well, after all, this era is not very good. They don't know other countries' languages. Just like when we first went there, we couldn't speak the language."
Bai Yu was talking about the situation when they first went to the magic plane. Because of the language barrier, they were very nervous and worried every moment. But fortunately, they did not stay in the magic plane for long at that time, so they did not feel too uncomfortable.
But the rest of the Bai family have to live outside for a long time. The language barrier alone can bring them a lot of obstacles in life.
So when they were crying in the room, they sat by and didn't say anything, waiting quietly for them to vent their emotions.
Only after everyone had finished crying and their emotions had gradually calmed down did Bai Yu speak: "We plan to return home later. We suspect that the people who sent us out to sea are currently fighting for power."
"Xiaoyu, are you sure?" asked the second uncle.
"Yes, it's basically confirmed," Bai Yu nodded. "Coincidentally, some of the cargo that was shipped out by our ship was near this island. Xiaoxi and his men had already salvaged it. In addition to gold and silver, there were also many weapons. We have questioned the people who were arrested. They don't know what happened during our time at sea, but they said that a lot of weapons and gold and silver were indeed shipped out in the past few years."
Bai Yu said, and everyone frowned.
“That’s too much.”
“If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t be drifting on the sea!”
"But..." Second Uncle continued, "They are so powerful, what can we do? If we run into them, wouldn't it be like an egg hitting a stone?"
"Yes, Xiaoyu, there's a war going on over there right now. Swords are merciless, and it's dangerous for you to take people over there. Forget it. Ordinary people like us shouldn't take risks," Second Aunt said earnestly. "Like your Second Uncle said, we can't fight against stones with eggs."
"It's not certain who is the egg and who is the stone." said the aunt with a smile.
Second uncle and second aunt both looked at her subconsciously.
The eldest aunt's smile deepened: "You know that Xiaoyu and Xiaoxi are very strong now, right?"
They both nodded, but still didn't change their minds: "No matter how strong you are, you are just a human being."
"That's not entirely true. Xiaoyu and Xiaoxi are not only strong, but also very smart. Although they are a little weaker than Miaomiao, they are still very powerful compared to others," said the aunt. She looked at Bai Yu and saw her determined eyes and continued, "We have lived on the island for the past few years. Everything was decided by them. They will do whatever they want to do. And if we can't stop those evil people who made us drift on the sea this time, our life on the island will be even more difficult in the future."
Bai Yu nodded: "If we let those people seize power, our island may not be in good shape in the future."
"Uncle and aunt, don't worry. Even if we go back, we won't make a big fuss. After all, our goal isn't to fight anyone, but to trip them up," Bai Xi said, looking at Bai Yu. "Sister, the situation back home isn't very good right now. Why don't we just go back on our own?"
"I want to go," Bai Wei immediately replied, "I want to go with you. I can help."
Bai Qiao and Bai Yang exchanged a glance, and Bai Qiao spoke first: "I'll go with you. My second brother will stay, and the elders will stay on the island as well. Is that okay?"
"You can all stay on the island," Bai Yu looked at the others, "It's not very stable around here either, we need someone to stay here to guard it. Xiaoxi and I can take some people with us, and let Miaomiao stay."
"Miaomiao?" Second aunt looked at Bai Miao in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief.
Bai Wei pulled her arm and whispered to her what had happened some time ago.
Second Aunt's expression was even more shocked: "Miaomiao is so young, and she can fight against those people?"
"More than that," the aunt continued with a smile, "Miaomiao's status on the island is quite high now. She is everyone's teacher and everyone listens to her. So even if Xiaoyu and Xiaoxi are not here, as long as she is on the island, everyone will feel at ease."
She also talked about some of the things Bai Miao did on the island, and every one of them shocked her second aunt.
Finally, he couldn't help but say, "After so many years, many things have really changed. I only remember the trivial things before I went to sea. But since you all said so, I have nothing else to say. We are old and don't understand much. You can decide what you want to do without asking us."
Second aunt and second uncle were relieved and expressed their willingness to listen to and do what Bai Yu said.
However, in terms of selection, he also decided to let Bai Wei go along.
"Anyway, Bai Wei was captured by pirates. If you hadn't showed up, who knows what would happen to him now. Since you rescued him, it's only natural for him to help you," Second Uncle looked at Bai Yu, "from now on, his life is yours."
Second Uncle didn't know the specific situation of Bai Wei at that time, but he knew very well that since he was in the hands of pirates, even if the pirates were willing to keep him to work, he would never have an easy time.
So even though he didn't have a very clear understanding of the situation at the time, he still felt that Bai Wei's life was saved by the three sisters.
Bai Yu looked at Bai Wei.
Bai Wei quickly said, "I'll go with you."
Then came Bai Qiao, who also said he wanted to come along.
It was finally decided that Bai Yu and Bai Xi would bring Bai Wei, Bai Qiao, and a group of strong fishermen who had trained at sea to go ashore to cause trouble.
The goal is not to fight a war to seize power, but to cut off the momentum of one side to seize power. No matter what the current situation of that side is, they cannot be allowed to win.
After all, this side has never cared about human lives from the beginning. Even if they come to power, the people will not have a good life. Instead of letting the people fall into difficulties at that time, it is better to interrupt their progress from the beginning.
