Daming Haikou

Chapter 10

Obviously, Liu Shipowner's decision was a bit late. Yu Xiaotian lay on the side of the ship and saw that the pirate ship was only more than a mile away from them, and he could almost see the faces of the people on board. .

From a distance, you can see that the pirate ship is crowded with black people. The pirate ship is not big, but there must be at least 30 to [-] people on the ship. The number of pirates is about double the number of people on their ship. , and each of the pirates seems to be holding a variety of weapons in their hands. It is obvious that the fighting power of the other party is far superior to that of their ship.

Yu Xiaotian gazed into the distance and observed the pirates, but after seeing the pirates' outfits, Yu Xiaotian felt a sense of irony. These pirates obviously didn't understand the aesthetics of dressing, let alone the awareness of uniform clothing. Some people wore ordinary ragged clothes, some wore brocade robes, but their hairy thighs were bare, and even a few pirates wore clothes that looked like women, and they were dressed in fancy dresses. It's really ridiculous like the dan roles in an opera. In short, they obviously wear whatever they have. As for whether they look good or not, it's not their concern.

Seeing the distance between the two ships getting closer, the group of pirates became more and more excited. They lay on the side of the ship one by one, waving all kinds of weapons in their hands, and screaming at the pirate ship from a distance. The sound was quite scary. , as if they had ordered the boat.

As the Liu family's ship turned, the pirate ship was already at the left rear of the Liu family's ship, and at the same time began to quickly adjust its sails and rudder. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it cut into the left side of their ship. Within a short period of time, the distance between Yu Xiaotian's ship and the ship that Yu Xiaotian was on was shortened. In addition, the speed of the pirate ship was faster. In a short time, the pirate ship approached 300 meters away from Liu's ship. From the left and right distances, the pirates' curses and threats could be clearly transmitted to their ship.

"Listen! Hurry up and put down the sails and stop the boat. I'm trying to make money, not my life. As long as the goods don't kill people, you can't escape! It's better to stop the boat obediently! If you don't want to toast and eat fine wine, if you dare not listen Be careful, when the elders catch up with you, they will definitely kill you to death!..." The pirate with a loud voice began to yell at Liu's boat with a gong-like voice.

The people on the Liu's boat were a little panicked at this moment. They are still quite a distance from the coast at this moment. They will definitely not be able to escape today, but once the sails are lowered and the boat stops, the fate will be completely controlled by these pirates. In his hand, the ship owner surnamed Liu felt sorry for the goods on his ship. After thinking about it for a while, he gritted his teeth, stood at the stern, put his hands around his mouth, and shouted at the pirate ship that was chasing him: He Lu is a hero! I passed by this place next time, I don’t know what heroes are doing here, and I didn’t manage it in advance. I’m sorry for my mistakes!

We are a small business, and making a living is not easy. I would like to trouble you today, and I have prepared 50 taels of silver. Please have a glass of water and wine for the heroes. I hope that the heroes will hold their hands high. How about putting it on the next journey? "

Hearing the voice of the captain surnamed Liu, Yu Xiaotian felt annoyed and amused in his heart, and secretly thought that there were such things in the sea, and when he met pirates, he could negotiate and pay for the way!

In fact, Yu Xiaotian didn't know that this kind of thing is actually very common in this era. Pirates are not necessarily all vicious people. Pirates, there are many pirates, they will not kill people, and most of the time, they don't want to go all out, make the people on the merchant ship hijacked anxiously, and play desperately to resist. You must know that once the ship is hijacked, the merchant ship is generally not It will be given for free, and there is a certain resistance. After the real fight, it is inevitable that the pirates will also be injured. This life is their own, and everyone wants to live a few more days.

So under normal circumstances, if the owner of the merchant ship being overtaken takes the initiative to show weakness and is willing to give some money to the pirates as road money, the pirates are generally happy to take the money and leave. This is a happy thing for both parties. Pirates can get a certain amount of money without taking greater risks, while the ship owner can also keep the cargo and life. Therefore, Captain Liu just proposed to buy the way with 50 taels of silver and asked the pirates to take the money and leave. is a convention adopted.

But the answers of the pirates who chased after him disappointed Liu Chuanowner completely. He could only hear one of the pirates yelling loudly: "I am the third leader under Haiyaozi! The brothers chased you for a long time, and you sent me away for 50 taels of silver! Could it be that I was dismissed as a beggar?

Don't talk nonsense, wait for the sail to stop the boat quickly, I am in a good mood today, if I don't kill you, I just want your ship and goods, and leave your lives alone!If you don't stop the boat, don't blame me for being rude to you!After a while, I will kill you all! "

The pirate's answer like this is tantamount to announcing the breakdown of the negotiations. The pirates have made it clear that they are ready to take the ship with the goods. The condition that Captain Liu put forward to buy the road with 50 taels of silver seems to be unable to satisfy them at all. Appetite, next, for Captain Liu, there are only two options left. One is to stop the ship with lower sails as requested by the pirates, and let them snatch the ship and its cargo. Go home to the nearest shore!

The other way is to fight head-to-head with them. Once you are lucky, you can beat the opponent a few times after the fight, frighten the pirates, and make them retreat and give up automatically. Then this is equivalent to winning the game today. At the scene, they can leave with the ship and the cargo without losing the cargo!But another consequence of doing this is that once they do this and fail to stop the pirates, the pirates will forcefully attack the ship and kill everyone on board.

After hearing the pirate's answer, everyone on the ship immediately turned their attention to Shipowner Liu. Whether to fight or surrender now depends on Shipowner Liu's opinion. To be honest, the people on board don't want to be moved It’s hard, this ship and this cargo are not theirs, only their lives are their own. If they surrender to the pirates, the loss is the owner’s. .

But once Shipowner Liu decides to fight hard, he will be blind with his sword and gun and lose his life if he fights against the pirates.Therefore, the boatmen on the boat are very willing in their hearts that the boat owner will play a soft guy at this moment, stop the boat, surrender, and save money.

After the captain surnamed Liu listened to the pirate's answer, his complexion became even more ugly. He hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, his eyes rolled around, and his expression was very painful. He looked carefully at the pirate ship that was catching up In the end, he gritted his teeth suddenly, and his face became a little ferocious, as if he had made up his mind.

He turned his head and stretched out his hand and pulled out a single knife, tightly clenched in his hand, and scolded the pirate with a livid face, "Bah! You're too deceitful for a shameless thing! I'm not made of mud, you guys What does the soil turtle want?

Brothers, today we don't believe in this evil anymore!Leave them alone, let's move on!We have cannons and blunderbuss on board, so how can we be afraid that these turkeys will fail?If they dare to come up, I will bombard them to death!Ma Biao, set up the cannon, and if they dare to come up in a while, they will beat his mother hard for Yu!

Liu treats you well on weekdays, and today is the time to use you. As long as I can rush over today, I, Liu, will definitely not treat you badly! Liu put 50 taels of silver here, and everyone will share it after the matter is completed!It's better than cheap bastards! "

After hearing this, the people on the boat all had bad expressions on their faces. What they were looking forward to was still in vain. Shopkeeper Liu seemed to be a bully at the moment, and he was determined to keep the boat and the goods and force them to follow The pirates were desperate. Although they were reluctant, there was nothing they could do. Who asked them to be employed by shopkeeper Liu and obey his orders?

But fortunately, this man surnamed Liu is quite interesting, and he offered a reward of 50 taels in advance, which explained that if he can rush over today, he originally planned to buy the 50 taels of silver for the road, and let the people on the boat share it. For one thing, plus the one or two taels of silver he promised each person at the beginning, after the big guys are done, they can each have a different amount of silver to take, which can be regarded as mobilizing some of their morale.

There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. After hearing this, Ma Biao immediately gritted his teeth and agreed, hurriedly greeted several subordinates, vigorously moved the bowl-mouth gun at the stern, adjusted the muzzle, and always pointed it at the The pirate ship gradually chasing after.

Yu Xiaotian cursed again in his heart, there is a saying in this world that is true, people die for money, birds die for food, Liu Chuandong is a merchant who runs the sea, and he values ​​this ship more than his life, it must be He couldn't let go of the boat that made his fortune. Today he made it clear that he wanted to gamble. For him, this is not a good thing. He is just a passer-by, and there is really no reason to work hard for this Liu, but the current situation is He can't help himself, he has to do it, and he has to do it if he doesn't!Shipowner Liu refused to surrender, he had nothing to do!Now what kind of unlucky things happened to him!Today, he reckoned that he would have to fight for his life!

When he saw Ma Biao and the others starting to fiddle with the pistol at the stern, he subconsciously lowered his body and moved towards the middle of the ship, trying to stay away from the pistol as far as possible. Will it explode on the spot? He is still young now, and he doesn't want to become a martyr for this not-so-good-hearted Liu Chuan-owner right away, so it's better to stay away for safety.

Just when everyone was paying attention to the pirate ship behind, Liu Laoliu walked up to Yu Xiaotian's side at some point, and quietly gave Yu Xiaotian a hand.

(It’s really not enough to collect these two days! Brothers, who still has the red ticket? Keep it! If you don’t have a collection, how about clicking the collection? It’s a cold wind, please everyone! Please, please! Hehe!)
