Chapter 786 Surprised
Chapter 786 ·Shocked
The pirates are brutal, bloody and cruel, and they always kill without blinking. The fishermen and merchant ships on the coast of Fujian were deeply harmed, but they were numerous and well-trained. In addition, Zeng Shaoquan's status was unstable and he had no time to form a naval army, so he could only delay the bandit suppression and there was nothing he could do about it.
Now that I learned that there were pirates surrounding me, everyone on the ship knew what the consequences would be if they caught up. Everyone performed their duties, and everyone was full of energy. The merchant ship rushed forward like an arrow.
Shang Junzhuo's master and captain studied, "Although the number of pirates has an advantage, they are all riding on small boats. The wind and waves at night are so strong that even seven or eight men can row hard together, they can't do anything. As long as everyone unites, they will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty safely."
The captain was not panicked when encountering problems, and he was quite like a coach. He nodded seriously, "Everyone finds out all the harpoons and sticks. Once they really catch up with those pirates who are desperate, they will have to make a way out. They have one nose and two eyes. What is the difference between us and them? As long as they get on my boat, they will have to stand up and die, even if they spit on the ground, they will have to make a pit for me! If anyone dares to retreat at this time, don't say I look down on him, and there is no place to hang out on the sea in the future! Have you heard it clearly?"
His words were sonorous and powerful, and immediately gathered the thoughts of the crew members who were already a little unscrupulous. Everyone responded in unison and immediately found harpoons and sticks. The boat sisters even rushed out with rolling pins to share the hardships with the crew members.
Everyone worked together and their momentum suddenly became much higher.
The captain asked Shang Junzhuo to lead two steady and reliable people to his cabin to take out the gun just in case.
Shang Junzhuo agreed happily and took Bai Xiuzhi and two other people to take out the gun. The captain bought it from others for a large sum of money. It is said that it was secretly brought back by several deserters on the battlefield. Because he did not dare to keep it at home, he sent it to the black market to find someone to take action. The captain was able to eat, and he recognized everything from all walks of life. The person in charge of selling guns in the black market asked him if he wanted it. Now he is walking on the sea day and night, and he is afraid of the harassment of the pirates day and night. Once he is entangled with them, he will peel off even if he doesn't die. Although the price of the gun is really not low, the captain still bit his back teeth and put it in his hand. He was originally prepared to be unused for the whole life, but he didn't expect that the pirates came to his door shortly after buying it.
On weekdays, these guns were put away by the captain as treasures, and the crew members below could not touch them. Only when the captain was in a good mood would they show off, and the crew members had the opportunity to enjoy their eyes. Logically, everyone should be interested in it, but today's situation is special. The two people who came with Shang Junzhuo were wondering, and they didn't care about anything else. They asked Shang Junzhuo in a low voice, "Junzhuo, why are you so calm? Are you really not afraid at all?"
"What's there to be afraid of!" Shang Junzhuo's dark eyes shining in the dark night. "Where are we now? This is a sea that cannot be reached everywhere, and it is not like the one on land that can't be beaten and can run away. Now that there is no way out, I will fight for it. No matter how fierce the pirate is, he is still a human being. Can he still beat him to death? I have a harpoon in my hand. If anyone dares to come over, I will stab him. Anyway, he or I will either die. I will not be afraid of this!"
The two of them were so decisive that they couldn't help but admire them. Shang Junzhuo is still a girl, and they all have such a mind and courage. What else is there to be scary about the two big men?
The two of them were immediately excited and carried guns to the deck.
The light on the sea was faster than expected, and it was almost time to catch up with it.
The captain discussed with Shang Junzhuo's master, "Do you want to set sail?"
"No!" Shang Junzhuo's master said, "The sea breeze is too strong now, and it is easy to be rolled over once the sail is set. Moreover, it is raining in the sky. If it causes thunder, all the people on the boat will suffer. I asked for this to be the plan of the pirates. Think about it, how many people can be on their boat? If we try our best, we will use this wave of force. If we panic first, we will roll the sails directly into the sea, then we will not be as powerful as a duck falling to our mouths, and we will have no power to fight back?"
The captain said, "You make sense!"
Shang Junzhuo's master calmly ordered, "Don't panic, everyone, as long as you respond calmly, I guarantee that the pirates will not catch up with us."
He is the most experienced sailor on the ship and has grown up on the ship since he was a child. No matter the direction of the wind, the tide has never been wrong. Everyone has always believed in his words, but after hearing it, no one refuted it. Everyone said in a deep voice and rolled the oars according to Master Shang Junzhuo's instructions. The speed of the merchant ship gradually accelerated, but the light of the pirates behind him gradually slowed down.
Shang Junzhuo's master dared to breathe a few sighs of relief, and heard a few crisp bangs, like beans burning in the fire, crisp and loud, and flew over to his ears.
Before he could react, the crew member who was closer to the side of the ship had already cried out in pain, and then the man fell on the deck, covered in blood.
The captain immediately shouted, "No! The pirates have fired. Everyone should bend down and be careful of being shot."
The people on the boat immediately fell down, and some even clinged to the deck, fearing that they would be hit by bullets as soon as they looked up.
Seeing that the pellet could not catch up, he fired a few shots in a panic and then stopped chasing the troops and stopped chasing them. The rain in the sky gradually became lighter. The crew members who realized that the danger had dissipated quickly went to care for the person who was shot, but the shot happened to hit the chest. After a while, the lady had already died.
The captain sighed, "Please put away his body first. When you get to the shore and find a place to cremate, then send his ashes back home. Fortunately, the shot came quickly and you didn't suffer much pain before your death..."
He was the leader of a ship, always serious and serious. The crew members below were shocked and afraid of him, and never dared to joke around in front of him. But his crew members died tragically in front of him, and he still felt a little guilty, and his emotions on his face were very complicated.
Although I have encountered all kinds of difficulties and dangers at sea, after all, there is no one, and the captain and Shang Junzhuo's master feel very uncomfortable.
The crew also looked sad and sent the dead body to the bottom of the cabin, put it with the huge marlin, and covered it with a piece of white cloth.
After all this, I had to start cleaning the deck again. As the rain stopped, the east gradually turned white.
A red sun rose from the sea, and half of the sea water was dyed red.
The crew members looked at the scene in front of them, thinking about the thrilling danger last night, and were deeply moved, gathered together to sigh and scold the brutes of the brute.
Later, several merchant ships gathered together to communicate the news that only one crew member died on the ship where Shang Junzhuo was, three people died on another ship, and one person on another was injured in the arm by a bullet.
This was the first time Bai Xiuzhi witnessed someone dying in front of him. He sat on the deck and was stunned for a while.
How could this happen?
The dead man was the one who lent him a fur coat. He promised him that he would return it after passing through, otherwise his wife would be angry. Only one night... the person was gone.
He couldn't accept it for a moment, and his face was pale and shrouded in a soft warm light by the rising sun.
