As Aqing watched, she also reported on the situation.
"Holy crap, there are quite a few people on the fishing boat over there."
"Seventy, eighty, or ninety people."
"So many people are just sailing around the sea in their fishing boats without actually fishing. Bro, you're right, they definitely have something going on."
Mei Wu was still somewhat worried and said, "Could it be a spy?"
"What if they have guns?"
"Maybe we should hurry up and leave."
Wu An said irritably, "Wait a minute, what's the panic? Don't scare yourself."
"Now we've crossed the median line, but they're still on their own territory."
"Even if they have problems, they're causing trouble on their own turf. What kind of spies are they?"
"If they had guns, they would have brought them back to scare us since we were so close on the boat."
Old Fu nodded and praised, "A'an is right."
"Remain calm in the face of danger."
"He's definitely going to do great things."
Aqing nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes, brother is still the best. Look how badly he tricked these people."
Mei Wu scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed: "Am I worrying too much?"
Wu An patted him on the shoulder: "It's normal."
“You’ve rarely argued with anyone since you were a child.”
"We've only just set sail, so we haven't encountered any problems yet."
"You'll get used to it."
Mei Wu panicked even more: "Is the sea really that chaotic?"
Before Wu An could speak, Old Fu shouted, "A-Wu, don't listen to A-An's nonsense. He's just trying to scare you."
Mei Wu looked at Wu An.
Wu An grinned mischievously.
Mei Wu was so angry he wanted to punch him.
At this moment, the fishing boat on the opposite side became even more dangerous and was about to capsize.
Wu An touched his nose and said, "It looks like it hit a reef pretty hard."
Ah Qing cursed, "Serves them right. If they hadn't chased us so relentlessly, things wouldn't have turned out like this."
"It would be best if a few drowned."
"Brother, why don't you say hello to the Goddess Mazu?"
Wu An told him to stop talking nonsense. If they wanted to kill a few people, they could do it themselves. Why bother Mazu?
Ah Qing chuckled, didn't respond, and shouted, "Someone jumped into the sea!"
"Holy crap, great jump, brilliant jump, absolutely fantastic jump!"
"Hahaha, this is so satisfying to watch."
"Brother, Brother Wu, would you like to come and take a look?"
He stood high up, holding the rope, and even twisted it a couple of times, which terrified Wu An.
If he falls, it will be a tragedy of joy turning into sorrow.
Wu An called out, "Come down quickly, you don't need to climb so high to see anything."
The fishing boat opposite sank very quickly, and more and more people jumped into the sea, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, which was quite a sight to behold.
Old Fu frowned slightly.
He had also fallen into the sea and couldn't bear to see such scenes.
However, these people deserved their fate; they had no choice but to relentlessly pursue them and even try to ram them.
People who make a living at sea are naturally good swimmers, and each of them wears a life jacket.
Floating on the sea, waving for help.
Wu An looked mocking. Damn it, these idiots are dreaming. He didn't kick them while they were down. He himself wanted to praise himself for being "truly kind-hearted"!
"Stop showing off, stop acting tough? Stop shouting for blood?" Ah Qing leaned over the side of the boat and said with a wicked grin, "You little bastard, call me grandpa and maybe I'll take pity on you and save you."
The man quickly explained that chasing after them was not his idea; he was just a boatman, innocent, and that saving a life was more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.
Aqing scoffed.
I don't believe you.
He wasn't that smart, but he wasn't that kind either.
He could never repay evil with kindness.
He took a deep breath and spat in the man's face, but unfortunately, the man dodged it.
Mei Wu declined to comment.
Although Aqing's actions were very uncivilized, he felt a sense of satisfaction watching them.
Wu An asked, "I'm asking you, why did you chase after us as soon as you spotted us?"
"They're still shouting for war and killing."
Someone replied, "Aren't you from over there? We saw you and wanted to show off."
"We know we were wrong, and we will never do it again."
"Maybe we're even from the same clan. Please, have mercy and help us get up there."
The man pleaded, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he plotted to seize the ship if Wu An rescued them.
Wu An sneered: "I wanted to have a proper chat with you, but you're just spouting nonsense, aren't you?"
"You kept chasing us and even tried to ram us; you clearly wanted to leave us all here."
"explain!"
"What are you guys up to around that island?"
He believed the claim that he was showing off, but that was only one reason, and certainly not the main one.
The man shook his head: "No."
"We lost our temper and that's when we panicked."
The others shook their heads in agreement, insisting that he was just trying to show off.
He kept admitting he was wrong and begging for forgiveness.
Old Fu, puffing on his cigarette, said, "Ah An, you can't be soft-hearted."
Wu An nodded.
Old Fu reminded him, "I don't think you'll get any results by asking like this."
"Let's hurry up and leave, that fishing boat behind us is coming soon."
"Our territory begins once we leave this island."
Wu An nodded.
The fishing boat started immediately.
The group of people floating on the sea, seeing that Wu An and his group had no intention of providing assistance, began to curse loudly.
Old Fu, a shrewd and experienced man, chuckled and said, "It seems these people have ill intentions in asking us for help."
Wu An was taken aback: "Why do you say that?"
Old Fu said, "It's obvious. They're so furious because their schemes failed."
“The fishing boats behind have already arrived; they don’t actually need our help.”
"Playing the victim and begging for help is just a way to get on our boat."
Aqing was startled and said with lingering fear, "Luckily we didn't help, otherwise we would have become like the farmer who got bitten by the snake."
Mei Wu nodded in deep agreement.
Wu An didn't dwell on that, and pondered, "What do you think these people are up to near that island?"
Aqing said, "Who knows? Maybe they'll be doing human experiments or using secret weapons, just like in the movies."
Old Fu thought for a moment and said, "I think those people are fishermen."
Wu An was even more puzzled: "If they are fishermen, then it's even stranger."
Old Fu looked up at the swallows in the sky and said, "They might also be afraid that we'll discover the treasure on the island."
Wu An asked, "What treasures could there be on the island?"
Old Fu said, "I see swallows over here. There might be swallows nesting on the island."
Wu An suddenly realized: "Bird's nest."
"Heh, I was just guessing." Old Fu chuckled. "Anyway, we're not coming here, and we probably won't have much to do with each other in the future, so let's not think too much about it."
Wu An stared at the swallows in the sky, thinking to himself that they might not necessarily have to deal with them in the future.
He felt that Old Fu was very experienced at sea and guessed that what he said was probably true.
Aqing said, "I still think that island is a secret base."
"Bird's nest isn't anything special, why did those people make such a fuss?"
Old Fu asked, "Ah Qing, have you ever eaten bird's nest?"
Aqing shook her head: "No, what man eats that stuff? It's only women who eat it."
Old Fu said, "Bird's nest, like gold, is sold by the gram."
Aqing was taken aback.
Mei Wu asked in surprise, "Is it that valuable?"
Wu An's mind raced, and he asked, "Old Fu, is bird's nest easy to get?"
Old Fu nodded: "That's definitely much easier than panning for gold."
"What's wrong?"
Looking for bird's nest?
"That's not easy to find. We'd be better off just doing our fishing work honestly."
Wu An glanced back and thought to himself, "Do we even need to look for this? The island those guys are guarding is right over there."
Regardless of whether there are bird's nests on the island or not, he wanted to find out. If it really was bird's nest, then he would steal it.
If it weren't for the bird's nest, those people on the island definitely weren't up to any good either; they might have been plotting something against us.
Once the matter is cleared up, if you can cause damage, then do so; if not, then report it to the relevant authorities.
Anyway, this matter is not over.
