Chapter 131 [Even More Difficult]
Wen Qiao frowned, "What a coincidence! A boat is also taking shelter here?"
The shape of this three-masted sailing ship was different from any other ship she had seen on the sea in the past two months.
Wen Qiao tightened the dragon claw bow on his shoulder and immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone else on the deck, hide in the cabin quickly!"
"A ship is approaching this island. It's suspected to be a pirate ship!"
When the convicts heard that pirates were coming, they panicked and hid in the cabins under the deck.
They came from the capital and knew little about pirates. They only knew that these people were made up of people fleeing war, criminals on the run, and people from overseas tribes, and they didn't sound like they were good people.
The boatmen were nervous, but everyone had prepared in advance, so they followed Wen Qiao's arrangements before departure and went to get the machetes, machetes and other weapons on the boat.
Xin Che was teaching Jiang Lili how to shoot accurately. Upon hearing this, he told Jiang Lili to get on board first: "Lili, take your mother and your younger siblings and get into the cabin quickly."
Jiang Lili knew her own strengths and weaknesses, so she didn't waste any time and went into the cabin first to think of a solution. She could also keep in touch with Wen Qiao through group chat and work together with them.
She climbed onto the boat and organized the elderly and children on board to hide in the deck below.
When Xin Cheng heard that pirates were attacking, his years of experience in defending against enemies made him ask immediately, "Brother, should we disguise ourselves as merchants on the ship and surprise them?"
Xin Che glanced at his patched, coarse clothes and messy hair. "Do you think we still need to disguise ourselves?"
Xin Cheng was speechless for a moment, "Oh, right, we are fugitives now, and the other party doesn't know who we are."
After saying that, he grabbed a handful of ash mixed with sand from the ground and smeared it on Xin Che's face: "Brother, your sense of disguise has dropped. There is no convict with such a clean and handsome face."
Xin Cheng wiped Xin Che's face and complained, "You used to have a beard in the military camp, but now you are in exile and you keep your face so neat and tidy every day."
“Cough cough cough…”
Xin Che was caught off guard and tricked by his own people. He choked on the dust and his face became dirty. He gave Xin Cheng a glare and then took out a stack of darts from his pocket and said, "Take this for self-defense."
Marquis Zhaoping looked at the recognizable plum blossom dart in Xin Che's hand, his heart pounding. He said excitedly, "Che'er, have you contacted the Xin family army?"
Xin Che nodded. During the few days he stayed in Lianzhou, Cheng Jiayu from Guanjiazhai sent someone to deliver a message to him, saying that he had contacted the Xin family army that had fled to the Bol grassland. The Xin family army team also sent the team's usual plum blossom darts as proof.
The fact that Xin's army is still able to make plum blossom darts shows that their situation is safe.
Marquis Zhaoping was overjoyed and sighed deeply, "I'm glad they're okay! The emperor didn't even spare the soldiers who defended his territory. It's truly disheartening!"
The Xin family father and son hid weapons such as the dragon claw bow under the oilcloth covering the goods, pretending to be packing the goods in a hurry in the rain.
The sea was full of waves and the cabin was shaking violently.
Jiang Lili rubbed her chest, feeling anxious.
"What should we do? We've just started renovating our ship and we've already run into pirates!"
The bows and crossbows on hand are cold weapons, and there are too few people who can use them. It is difficult to help a group of criminals. As for hot weapons... it would be too difficult for Xiaopang to find them. This is a question of whether to punish him or not.
@Jiang Lili: Xiaopang, I'm begging you to go to the United States to buy goods! !
[@张小胖: Sister Li, what's wrong? Is there an accident?]
[@江麗麗: We encountered a storm at sea, and while taking shelter from the rain, we ran into pirates.]
@Zhang Xiaopang: Don't worry, I foresaw your danger levels would skyrocket in ancient times. Ever since that incident with the Miao Border Gu worm, I've been stockpiling handy items you might need in ancient times, and even crafting some myself. Haven't you forgotten I'm a chemistry major?
Jiang Lili:!!!
She really forgot!
After graduating from high school, Xiaopang’s most common activity was to play games with classmates to maintain friendship or share delicious food, and from time to time he would post on WeChat Moments to promote their seafood.
@张小胖: Although I didn't study much in college, I have roommates who are top students and can ask for advice!
Zhang Xiaopang felt that during the time that his classmates traveled through time, they themselves had also undergone many changes.
In the past, his daily routine consisted of playing games, eating, drinking, sleeping and lazing around, with no real aspirations. Now, he is concerned about his classmates and the precarious aquatic product industry at home.
During this period, Zhang Xiaopang not only maintained a regular schedule, but also started to pick up the chemistry textbooks that he had previously disdained to read, and studied hard to figure out how to better help the guys in the class.
@张小胖: I saw a device called a Molotov cocktail in the game. The steps seemed simple enough, so I made a batch myself with the help of a top-performing university classmate. I'll send you the emergency weapons I prepared right now!
Jiang Lili settled the people in the cabin and asked them to move out the pepper spray and other items prepared in the cabin. Then she went to the deck and found a hidden place to receive Xiaopang's airdrop.
With a "clang", a heavy object fell onto the deck.
Jiang Lili took a closer look and saw that the first item that Fatty had airdropped was actually a chainsaw. The sharp teeth of the chainsaw were visually intimidating, but the chainsaw was a bit too heavy...
Wait, this thing is perfect for the extremely powerful Su Sanniang!
"Auntie Su! Don't use the kitchen knife, use this!"
Jiang Lili called Su Sanniang, who was holding two kitchen knives, and taught her how to start the chainsaw.
After Su Sanniang knew how to start it, she put the two kitchen knives on her waist, easily picked up the electric saw, and pressed the switch. The sharp sound of the motor scared the brave Su Sanniang.
"This thing even has its own sound deterrent!"
The chainsaw started, and the teeth on it spun wildly, as if to cut the air into pieces.
Su Sanniang was a little dumbfounded. She couldn't imagine what would happen if these rapidly rotating saw teeth cut into a person. "Miss Jiang, where did you get this thing called a chainsaw? It's too scary!"
Jiang Lili's mind raced: "My second brother figured it out. You should know he's particularly fond of researching weapons."
Su Sanniang recalled the scene of the Xin family's second son studying the old crossbow these past few days, "He is indeed worthy of being the military camp's mechanical engineer!"
Su Sanniang turned off the chainsaw, took the big guy, went down the deck and stood guard at the stair entrance, intending to take the enemy by surprise.
The Molotov cocktail that Xiaopang sent over was a large glass bottle with several glass partitions inside, each containing a chemical reaction substance.
The working principle of this incendiary bottle is that once the large glass bottle is broken, the various chemical substances in the incendiary bottle will mix and catch fire, causing a small-scale explosion effect.
But it’s raining heavily now. I want to throw a Molotov cocktail into the cabin under the deck of the pirates on the opposite side. What should I do?
