I was the best old lady in ancient times

Chapter 459 Pirates
I don't know if it's because of good luck, because of the rain, the wind and waves at sea have also increased.

However, there is a sea reef in the sea area where the pearl breeding farm and the small shell cultivation net of the Ning family are hung, forming a semicircular surrounding area.

Whenever the sea wind blows, most of the wind and waves are blocked by the reef.

Therefore, although the cultivation nets of pearl oysters and small shells in the pearl farms fluctuated violently in the sea, they were not damaged in any way.

When Liu Hu came back to report the incident, Ning Pengpeng said that he felt a little more at ease when he originally raised it.

However, for some reason, Ning Pengpeng always felt that his right eyelid was twitching crazily.

But she asked Liu Hulian to check carefully the places where the new fishermen lived.

Those who lived in thatched huts are now living in newly built stone huts.

Because of the stone house, no matter how strong the sea breeze is, it will not affect the house.

The safety has been greatly improved, and there should be no surprises.

However, Ning Pengpeng pressed her eyelids, why are her eyelids twitching so much, and she still has a feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath?

"Qing Niang, go tear up a piece of white paper."

Hearing Mrs. Ning's order, Qingniang went to the study, found a piece of paper, and handed it to Ning Pengpeng without tearing it up.

Ning Pengpeng took it over, tore it, and tore off a corner from the white paper, then moistened it with the tea in the cup, and stuck it on his eyelid with a snap.

After pasting the white paper, I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but the eyelids stopped twitching.

But her heart was still tight, making her feel like she couldn't breathe.

Hearing what Ning Pengpeng said, Qingniang thought about it and persuaded her.

"Old lady, is it because of the weather?"

Ning Pengpeng glanced at the sky outside the house. Although it was raining, the clouds in the sky were indeed low.

Maybe just like what Qingniang said, the fact that she feels so uncomfortable is caused by the low pressure relationship.

Ning Pengpeng let out a long breath and forced himself to divert his attention.

In the middle of the night, suddenly a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, waking Ning Pengpeng from his sleep.

"Madam, are you thirsty?"

Qingniang was sleeping outside Ning Pengpeng's room, when she heard movement inside, she got up immediately, lit the candle, and asked softly.

Ning Pengpeng covered her heart, stared blankly for a while, and then nodded.

Qing Niang put the candle in her hand on the table, poured a glass of water from the warm teapot, and handed it to Ning Pengpeng by the bedside.

Ning Pengpeng recalled the scene in his dream, and his throat tightened uncontrollably. He took the teacup from Qingniang's hand, picked it up, took a sip, and heard someone rushing outside, his voice full of panic.

"Old lady, it's not good, that pirate has come ashore!"

...clang...

When Ning Pengpeng was holding the teacup in his hand, when he heard the words that came into his ears, Ning Pengpeng's heart was shocked, and his hand involuntarily let go. The teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Ning Pengpeng didn't care about the fragments of the teacup that fell on the ground, turned over and got out of bed, even forgot to put on his clothes, and rushed out in a hurry.

I saw someone standing outside the door with panic all over his face.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Ning Pengpeng strode towards him and asked sharply.

The servant was trembling, and his whole body was drenched by the rain.

However, there was no hesitation in the words that came out of his mouth.

With a pale face, he told Mrs. Ning all the news he got.

"The new fishermen, because of the sudden rain during the day, after finishing their work, they went home feeling all right, so they took advantage of the light rain and went back to their original place of residence.

In the fishing village over there, there are still a few families who are reluctant to leave and have been living there.

After going back this time, I told those families that our Yujiawan is good,

There are a few families who are relatives, and help is indispensable.

Then after it rained heavily, he lived directly in the fishing village over there, hoping to come back early the next morning.

But who would have thought that the pirate came suddenly.

Fortunately, the person who went to the fishing village was clever and hid under the bed.

Watching those pirates slashing at the house where he was staying, with blood flowing all over the floor, he covered his mouth and dared not make a sound.

I waited until those pirates were all scraped away, and after leaving for a long time, I dared to run back in the rain.

Old lady, those pirates, will they target us next time? "

After saying all this, the visitor's legs and feet softened, and he knelt down on the ground, asking in fear.

Ning Pengpeng was shocked at the beginning, and then slowly calmed down.

Then she squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then turned her head and asked Qingniang.

"Where's Guan Liu?"

Qing Niang had already taken the coat and put it on the old lady when Mrs. Ning ran out.

Then, taking advantage of the time when the old lady was asking questions, she hurriedly went out to inquire again, and then rushed back immediately.

When Ning Pengpeng asked, she happened to see Qingniang coming in from outside.

"Guan Liu led people on patrol, and said that after dawn, he would report to Lord Futai that some pirates had come ashore."

After hearing this, Ning Pengpeng immediately shook his head and denied it.

"No, wait until dawn, it will be too late!
Let Liu Hu immediately send someone to Master Cui and tell him that something happened in the fishing village! "

When Qingniang heard what the old lady said, she went out immediately without any hesitation.

"And you, go beat the gong to spread the word that all the fishermen in Yujiawan gather here."

If the pirate really came ashore, the fishing village in Yujiawan is not too small, and the houses of each family are a little far away.

If the pirates attack people, the nearest neighbors may not be able to rush over to help them in time, the person would have been ruined long ago!

Therefore, it is best for the big guys to gather together before the pirates are repelled.

At least, there is strength in numbers.

Hearing the old lady's order, the servant who came to deliver the message seemed to have found the backbone, and quickly nodded in agreement.

After a while, he took a gong and beat along the road in the fishing village to get everyone to gather.

As for the pirates coming ashore, as soon as the new fishermen escaped back, the fishermen in Yujiawan already knew about it.

It's just that they don't know who to turn to for help.

After all, this pirate is as long as he doesn't go ashore, and once he goes ashore, he won't stop until he achieves his goal.

Why were there so few divers in the first place?
Except for going to the sea to fish for pearls, they were captured and ruined by these nasty pirates.

Because of the presence of that big corrupt official before, the people in Nanyue Mansion are getting poorer and poorer, and the poor ones haven't even gone ashore for a long time.

After the corrupt official was killed, the common people gradually calmed down. They didn't expect that the pirate would revive as the common people's situation improved, come ashore again, and start killing.
