Chapter 244
However, the difficulty is that we still don’t know how these pirates communicate with each other. They also went to the island, but unfortunately it was burned down. From the remaining traces, no modern tools that can transmit information were found.
Therefore, Qiao Sheng and his team cannot be 100% sure about the situation of those pirates just now, and can only speculate.
After clearing the pirates who blocked the way, it was already late, so they adjusted the bow and let their ship continue to drift on the sea with the wind.
In the middle of the night, they were attacked by three pirate ships. The frequency was so high that they had no other options. After clearing out the second group of pirates, Qiao Sheng and Li Mu decided to keep watch and let Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang take a rest first. They would take over after they woke up in the morning.
It turned out that Qiao Sheng and his team were wise. Although the third wave arrived late, the cannons and crossbow carts made quite a big noise.
Qiao Sheng was afraid that the two would be woken up. When they took over, it was already noon the next day. When Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang came out, they saw their brothers and sisters with panda eyes and trance.
"Sister Qiao, why didn't you call us?" Xia Beibei scratched her head, feeling quite embarrassed.
"It's okay, I got enough sleep. I didn't call you because I was afraid that you two didn't sleep well because of the noise last night. There were three waves of pirates last night and three more this morning. I guess there will be a lot more next time. You two should be careful." Qiao Sheng didn't even dare to move the sofa out. It was too comfortable to sit on and it was easy to fall asleep.
"It's okay. I know how to use the cannon, so I brought earplugs. It's okay. The main reason is that I have a good sleep quality. If I wake up, I can turn over and continue to sleep. Let alone Lin Haiyang, he can't wake up even if there is thunder." Xia Beibei waved her hands, indicating that she was not affected at all.
"Don't talk to me like I'm sleeping like a dead pig, okay? Oh, Sister Qiao, Teacher Li, haven't you eaten yet? I'll make it now. Just eat a bite and then you can go to sleep, or you'll be too hungry to handle it." After saying that, Lin Haiyang went upstairs to the kitchen to make lunch.
It wasn't very complicated. He and Xia Beibei made fried noodles with
soybean paste, plus a boiled chicken that had lost two chicken legs. He made a pot of brown rice porridge for Qiao Sheng and Li Mu, with egg pancakes and shredded chicken. The amount was not large, but the point was that it was made with great care.
While eating, Qiao Sheng also praised Lin Haiyang for his attentiveness. This lunch could satisfy their hunger, but they wouldn't eat too much and feel uncomfortable when sleeping.
After the meal, the two of them wandered around on the boat for half an hour before going to bed.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark. Downstairs, I could hear Xia Beibei and Lin Haiyang talking in low voices. Even the cubs in the cassock had changed from their previous loud meowing to soft meowing.
When Qiao Sheng and Li Mu finished packing and went downstairs, they saw Xia Beibei and You Su playing. From time to time, Xia Beibei would cover the screaming You Su's mouth to prevent it from making too much noise.
"You're awake. Don't be so careful. My sleep quality is not bad and it's not affected." Qiao Sheng sat over and touched You Su's fur. He didn't know if it was because they fed him enough fish, but this guy's fur became smoother and smoother.
Xia Beibei laughed dryly and looked at Li Mu who was walking behind. Qiao Sheng, who was touching Su, did not notice this scene.
"Well, Sister Qiao, there is brown rice and stir-fried vegetables left in the kitchen, as well as half a pot of fish soup. It is not leftovers, but it was taken out before the meal. Do you want to eat it now? I will go and heat it up for you now." Lin Haiyang saw that the situation was not right and spoke quickly to attract attention.
Qiao Sheng asked him to sit down and not to worry about it. She would go and heat it up now. After she left, the remaining three people started to have eye contact.
"Teacher Li is fooling people? He even came down to say that Sister Qiao's sleep quality is not good, and asked us to keep our voices down. This afternoon, we dared not even use artillery, all we used were crossbow carts and crossbows, and even the cassock boy was suppressed. Go upstairs and take a look. I tied up the mouths with ropes, but Sister Qiao's words clearly meant that she slept well." In the end, Xia Beibei couldn't help but criticized in a low voice.
"Then you have to praise you for doing a good job. If you didn't keep your voices down, how could she sleep so well? There are not many young people who are self-conscious now." Li Mu's two sentences confused the two children.
In order to prevent the two from continuing to entangle, Li Mu went to the kitchen upstairs to help on the pretext of being hungry.
"Lin Haiyang, have we been fooled? Why do we always feel something is wrong? Isn't he worried about Sister Qiao and reminding us? How come we are concerned about Sister Qiao and deliberately lower the volume?" Xia Beibei felt that her brain was suddenly blocked. "
Don't worry, Beibei, you don't know, I heard that Teacher Li's eloquence has been very powerful since school, it's normal for us to be confused by him." Hearing the knocking sound on the wooden window, Lin Haiyang stood up, walked to the wooden window with the sound, pushed the wooden window open and let in the fool who had just been patrolling outside.
"Oh, I see. He must be too embarrassed to express his feelings, so he used us as a raft. The students in your school have suffered, but why did such a teacher have to bear the brunt of it? But I have to find an opportunity to give Sister Qiao a shot of prevention. A man with so many thoughts is not good enough, otherwise it is easy to suffer losses." After Xia Beibei finished speaking, she continued to play games with You Su, and ignored Lin Haiyang's dissuasion.
In her eyes, this teacher and student duo, the elder one is too cunning and is not a good match, and the younger one is too stupid, so he is even more unacceptable.
Qiao Sheng and his friends had just had a midnight snack when they encountered a pirate ship attack. This time there was no noise consideration, and artillery, crossbows and carts attacked together. With so many people, the battle time was very short. When they came back after collecting supplies, the half-eaten dinner was still not cold.
This time, it wasn't even hot. The two of them finished the meal together. They talked with Xia Beibei about the afternoon battle. From noon to now, there have been five waves.
"That's not right. There have been twelve waves of pirates. They all came to die, but no one said anything?" When Qiao Sheng was thinking, he would frown unconsciously when he encountered a problem that he couldn't figure out.
"Yes, there was a talkative one. Lin Haiyang and I captured the pirate alive, but before he could finish his words, he took out a dagger from his shoes and committed suicide. We searched him and didn't find anything strange." Xia Beibei got angry when she remembered that person scared her in the afternoon.
This pirate was straightforward. He killed someone without saying anything. If she hadn't become indifferent to life and death in the past year, she would have been easily frightened. Fortunately, she was well-informed and only panicked for a moment.
As for what he shouted, Lin Haiyang performed it vividly. In summary, the pirates on this pirate ship were avenging a man named Wang Laoer and used fire attack. If Xia Beibei and the others hadn't reacted quickly and put out the torches thrown into the cabin, they might have been burned to death on the spot.
Although the words were not long, the situation to be revealed was clear. First of all, there was a man named Wang Laoer on the island they burned. As for whether the man who was not burned to death and was finally stabbed by them was unknown.
Secondly, the speed of transmitting information among pirates was really fast. They burned the pirate island here, and adding the time of pursuit there, it was roughly estimated that it had not been long since the fire broke out on the island, and this group of pirates rushed over to take revenge.
They encountered too few pirate islands and could not provide a reasonable explanation, so they told Pei Hong about it and sent a message to the world channel, reminding the majority of players to be careful of the pirates' pursuit. Pirates should have a special way to pass messages.
It is very likely that after killing one wave, another wave will come to take revenge.
By the way, a bounty was announced, and all players searched for the pirates' communication tools together. If they found them, there would be a reward of 100 cans.
The rewards were not small, and they really attracted the attention of players in the world channel. One by one, they all said that they must find the pirates' communication tools. After all, 100 cans, if eaten sparingly, can make three months less hard.
Now it is autumn, if we work hard we can still have a lot of food, these cans can be saved and eaten in the winter when the harvest is scarce and we can’t make it any longer. This amount can last us through the whole winter.
Qiao Sheng and his team didn’t care about the other players’ thoughts, they released the task to get everyone’s attention, otherwise they would not be able to find a pirate island for ten days or half a month, and this mystery might never be solved.
After a while, Li Mu received an order from player 909 in the trading system, with a note saying his name, hoping to add him as a friend.
