Pampering the sea

This ship originally had several rooms for everyone to rest, but due to the temporary refuge, everyone crowded into one place, so there was a chance for friction. Normally, each door is closed, so there is no time to pay attention to others.

Now, the sound outside was so unusual that everyone saw panic in their eyes.

The expressions in the eyes of a few regular customers who often take this ship are even more anxious, because the battle outside has been going on for too long. Generally speaking, the captain here has a good command and gives the pirates some money, and the pirates will let them go. The people on the ship paid so much money not only for the boarding and rest fees, but also for the protection fees paid to the pirates. This is the market, and everyone understands it.

However, this market does not seem to be right today, just because of the more and more wanton gunfire outside.

It seems that the war has forced the pirates to die, and the pirates have no choice but to force the poor fleet.

Outside, bombardment with artillery fire, the fleet and the pirates were unwilling to compromise in the attack with no room for negotiation. Soon, the hulls of the two sides were more or less dotted, and the dazzling fire was accompanied by The sound of the rumbling cannons brushed against the 17th-century wooden ship again and again, the flames flickered and the bangs sounded endlessly. They never tire of inciting each other's arrogance and fueling everything wantonly, so the wind roared, and the sea water slapped the sea surface endlessly, lifting and falling the two ships that seemed to be crumbling. The piercing screams of excitement from the pirates also covered up the panic screams of people in the cabin of the merchant ship.

The people in the cabin started to run wildly, but the space was not spacious, so they had to walk around in the narrow room with panicked expressions on their faces. Some bowed to the ground, some made a cross in front of their chests towards the west, and some prostrated themselves on the ground, performing the great Japanese salute.

There is also the cry of a child, which is resounding in pain.

"Mother, I'm so scared, those bad guys will kill us, I don't want to die, I want to go home and see my father."

"No, nothing will happen." The mother patted the child's back, even her comforting voice trembled, obviously even she herself didn't believe that nothing would happen.

The child cried loudly, and yelled: "You lied to me, grandpa was killed by those people with knives, and they chopped off his hands and feet, wow..."

The cry of the child was heart-wrenching, and the tears were pouring down like an endless stream.

And what he said made some timid people on the ship who had never seen much of the world tremble with fear, and the expressions on their faces became more frightened. Crying loudly in the real situation, I couldn't help breaking out in cold sweat.The breath of death shrouded everyone's head tragically. Just waiting for the hand of darkness to touch it lightly, the soul will return to hell, forever.

Xin Yue among the crowd was still in the calm posture. She was sitting there with her back against the deck, with one leg stretched out and the other arched. Holding a short knife, the other hand was gently wiping.

Xu was a little distracted thinking about the problem, Xin Yue accidentally used too much force, and the towel in his hand was cut by the sharp blade with a slamming sound, and it shattered and flew forward with the air. The opened towel continued to rush forward along the strong airflow, and hit the faces of several people nearby with a few puffs.

The few people who were hit sat down and turned around suddenly, and saw the girl with delicate features raised her eyes lightly, her eyes were watery, black and shiny, and there was a kind of calmness and wisdom beyond her age in her eyes, even in the messy environment In the refuge room, she also found a clean place to sit down on her own. Her white clothes were not stained with any filth. To be honest, except for the beating just now, she was as quiet as air for the rest of the time, but she just carried people A force that cannot be ignored, and it is hard to look away once you watch it.

"You... aren't you very skilled? Is there... is there any way to prevent us from being killed?"

Seeing Xin Yue's amazing skill in hitting people just now, a young boy looked at Xin Yue and asked eagerly.

Xin Yue raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

Such a calm and calm attitude made the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy more and more dependent. Maybe just seeing Xin Yue's powerful beating skills just now, he worshiped her as an invincible idol. Seeing her now, she seems to have escaped He couldn't help chasing and beating more and more.

Seeing the young man's burning eyes, Xin Yue ignored him, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then picked up a large piece of handkerchief from the ground, and continued to wipe the dagger in his hand calmly.

"Are you wiping your sword... are... are you going to beat up those rampant pirates?"

The young man has not been deeply involved in the world, and his emotions and anger are reflected in his colors. When he looks at Xin Yue, he does not hide his admiration, and when he speaks, his eyes almost light up.

Without raising his head, Xin Yue carefully wiped the short sword in his hand, from the tip to the tail of the sword, and soon, the blade was so shiny that it could almost illuminate the figure.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the boy asked again pitifully.

Xin Yue slowly turned his head sideways, and replied seriously:

"No, I don't have the idea of ​​beating up those pirates, because I don't have the ability to fight against shells and muskets, unless their knives are on my neck." She said lightly, "Now I wipe the sword, just because boring."

"That's it." The light in the boy's eyes gradually dimmed.

Xin Yue pursed his lips slightly, and stayed on the dark-skinned young man's face for a second longer, just because she recalled in a trance a long time ago, a young man who was about his age looked at her like this, and the brilliance in his eyes was from Ying From bright to dim.

She never called that child brother, even though the child always chased after her ass and called her sister and sister.

At that time, what she thought was that if she showed a little more concern for him, she would be reluctant to part when they parted in the future. After all, at that time, she was thinking that she would not be able to stay on Chu Zhiling's boat for long.The children's love is too long, she can't afford it, and she doesn't want it.

Because with relatives and friends, there will be weaknesses, and she is quite aware that when they are not strong enough to protect them, all ties may constitute harm to them.

But now, she is wandering and wandering, and it is the end of the year. She wants to have relatives and friends to accompany her, even if it is a small journey.

Before he could start thinking, he could only hear the sound of iron hooks rubbing outside. Obviously, the pirates had gained the upper hand in the battle.

"Is there really no way to prevent the pirates from taking him as prisoners?" The boy started to mutter again, this time his expression became unprecedentedly anxious.

"Have."

A determined voice came from the crowd.Xin Yue slightly raised his eyes.
