In the dim cabin, there was silence.
The moonlight shone through the window, and there were faces full of fear.
There are nervous-looking men, women who are about to cry, desperate old people, and children whose parents tightly cover their mouths. They squatted on the ground and huddled in every corner of the cabin, not daring to move. .
All eyes looked at the fragile and thin wooden door that was held up by wood.
Listening to the approaching footsteps outside, it was as if the underworld had come to make everyone in the cabin understand that the captain of the ship and his sailors had lost, and now the ship has been occupied by water pirates.
This large ship has upper and lower decks and carries both cargo and passengers. The tickets are also divided into different grades. The highest floor carries some wealthy businessmen and giants, and the prices are not cheap. The tickets on the next floor are cheap, and on weekdays they carry ordinary people who cross the sea.
I don't know how many people looked enviously at the beautiful scenery on the top floor when they first got on the ship, and now they are so glad that they are on the next floor and can live a long time.
But these people are not lambs to be slaughtered. When the water pirates have scavenged the goods and money on the ship, they will immediately show their sharp butchering knives.
Just relying on this small wooden door is unstoppable.
The sad faces of everyone were uneasy and desperate.
The people who went to the outside of the cabin to listen for news never returned, and the remaining passengers huddled together, not daring to make a sound, looking for all the shelters in the cabin to cover up their existence as much as possible.
Lou Zhao leaned on the side alone, looking through a small window that was closed in the east, his expression was indifferent.
The people who were sitting around, who were protecting their own family at this time, deliberately stayed away from the range where he was, and looked at him carefully and vigilantly.
When the sound of "water pirates are coming" sounded just now, there was chaos in the cabin. Others may not notice, but the surrounding boat passengers can see clearly.
This man's act of throwing the child in his arms into the sea from the window really shocked everyone who saw it.
After reacting, immediately held his own child away from this "madman" who had been frightened and insane. What if he goes crazy and throws their children down the window, but there is a mighty sea. There is no island in front of this place, and no shore in the back. If there is no floating boat to rely on, even an adult man with good water will not be able to see it. It is impossible to survive at sea.
Throwing a young child into the sea in this way will definitely kill the child.
It's not that I've been scared to death, but that being drowned in sea water is not as good as being hacked to death by water thieves.
Although they knew that death was imminent, it was only a matter of whether it was sooner or later, but people who were on the verge of despair still held on to the last faint hope.
In case, there will be a passing official ship to come to the rescue.
Or, the group of water pirates are only asking for money and not killing people.
Over the years, sea pirates and pirates have been rampant, robbing goods and occupying ships. But the government has never sent anyone to clear it, and the Admiral of the Navy, who is in charge of the maritime affairs, can't see it.
Whether it was the common people beating the drums to complain about their grievances or the aspiring officials below, there was no text in the end.
Some people were trying to survive, and some people were tempted by the huge benefits of the sea. Many people secretly joined the big sea gangs. .
The power at sea has grown rapidly, and now even if the above wants to control it, it can no longer be controlled.
Everyone on the coast knows that there are two big gangs at sea. The Jusha Gang on Dazhou Island not only robbed goods and money, but also murdered boats. They were notorious and famous; the Qingfeng Gang on Shenling Island only robbed the gold and silver of passing merchants and bought their lives with money. The people took action because they didn't know which group of people got on the boat at this time.
The people in the cabin were extremely uneasy.
But gradually, everyone felt that something was wrong.
There was such a loud noise and footsteps on the boat just now, why it has suddenly become so quiet now, no matter how puzzled, no one dared to step forward to open the wooden door.
Lou Zhao still maintained his previous posture, looking at the closed small window in the east, with a slight smile on his lips.
He knew PeiPei's water was very good and could swim in the sea for a long time. If there is no burden, only she will be able to escape along the current.
As for him, life and death have long been taken lightly on the deck,
"Since you are obedient, let these brothers around you quickly throw away the guy in your hand." Peipei whispered. .
Looking at the head of the water thief lying on the ground, he turned his head to look at the ugly circle of people around him.
Catch the thief first to catch the king.
Now the boss has conceded defeat, how long can the younger brother continue to be arrogant, there is no leader to gather them, but a group of Sanshalin Da Li Liu and others looked at the boss who was trampled under the feet by a little baby in a Trance.
You look at me, he looks at you, and doesn't know what to do for a while.
The big hammer in the small hand patted the face of the person under her feet again,
"Hey, who is that, say something."
Feeling the coldness of the hammer hitting his face, Qiu Meng raised his head with difficulty. Seeing the group of people under his hand like this, Huo Dao couldn't help but "Tell you to throw away the knives in your hands, can't you hear?"
"One or two . You bastards want to watch Lao Tzu die, are you vying for the position of the boss? Don't forget, if it wasn't for Lao Tzu, you would have starved to death."
Hearing that the boss had spoken, Lin Dayi and the others hurriedly threw the big sword in their hands. tossed aside.
However, there are still a group of people who still hold their weapons tightly and do not let go.
"What are you doing, Mr. Zhou?" Lin Da and the others looked at a thin middle-aged man surrounded by a dozen people on the other side.
"The boss said it, don't put the knife down quickly."
Zhou Laosan raised his head and looked at the crowd, and a light flashed in Yu Bai's eyes.
"With so many brothers, can't we still fight against such a little girl? The gold and silver jewels on this ship have just been given up."
"There is nothing more important than the life of the boss right now," Li Liu shouted angrily.
He had already seen that this week, the third child had bad intentions and tried to win over his brothers everywhere, thinking of taking the position of the boss.
Now he really wanted to take advantage of the chaos to seize power, this villain Zhou Laosan glanced at Li Liu and others, and said in disapproval,
"Qiu Meng is not good enough, but he was defeated by a little baby. Is such a waste still worthy of being our boss?"
" Zhou Laosan, you bastard," Qiu Meng scolded angrily.
"I've been blind for the past few years, but I didn't realize that you are such an ungrateful little person. If I hadn't rescued you, you would still be alive to this day."
Zhou Laosan rolled his eyes at Qiu Meng, and there was no sign of anything at all. Feeling embarrassed, he said in a disdainful tone,
"This is all from many years ago. You keep saying it is annoying. Isn't it enough for me to follow you everywhere and work hard all these years?"
"And you don't even think about it yourself, why the long scarf gang has been so poor for so many years, look at the Baiyue gang next door, since they joined the Jusha gang, they have been following people's buttocks. Live and earn a lot of money. Now it is a big gang that can be called a name in the sea."
Zhou Laosan turned his head, looked around the crowd, and bewitched,
"Brothers, don't you want to live a good life? What's the benefit of following a piece of junk like Qiu Meng? I'm not willing to do it, and have concerns about the future."
Hearing Zhou Laosan's words, the water thieves couldn't help looking at each other, some lowered their heads to think, and some whispered. , seems to be persuaded.
Seeing this, Lin Da, Li Liu and the others were full of anger and scolded loudly,
"Zhou Laosan, do you think all the brothers are the same as you, this shameless villain?"
" Now, I still want to keep my clothes and shoes clean."
Looking at the group of people who were arguing constantly, the corners of Qiu Meng's eyes, who were lying on the ground, couldn't help turning red. When was the money robbed in the sea not evenly distributed to the people under him.
How did it come to be like this at this moment? So the perseverance and obedience they showed in the past were all fake?
Seeing the brothers who he brought out by himself, there were infighting, and so many people stood by Elder Zhou. On the third side, the big bearded man with the burly body was wronged, and he looked like he was about to cry if he said a few more words.
Peipei frowned and looked at the burly man lying on the ground with his hands clasped and choking with disgust.
Turning her head, she looked at the water pirates who were now divided into two factions.
One by one, blushing, all of them picked up the knives on the ground again, looking at the fact that they were about to fight.
Now, no one will pay attention to the little doll standing on the bow and their boss who is still lying on the ground.
She, who was ignored,
listened to the chaotic and noisy quarrel in her ears, and PeiPei Beng Beng's small face.
She was angry.
The group led by Li Liu and Lin Da and the group led by Zhou Laosan were at a deadlock at the moment. Over the years, everyone has known each other and understood each other's weaknesses. Once they fight together, no one is fully sure that they can do it.
Zhou Laosan frowned and said with a gloomy sneer,
"Lin Da, Li Liu, what are you doing? Bring your brothers to join the Jusha Gang. It's the best way out, what is there for a waste like Qiu Meng to be worthy of your allegiance, even a little girl of a few years old can't compare to you."
Before he could finish his sentence, a hammer smashed towards Zhou Laosan's face.
Lin Da and Li Liu's eyes flickered, only to see that the person who was standing in front of them just now disappeared.
"Gudong" followed by the sound of heavy objects falling into the sea.
When everyone came back to their senses, the three people who were facing each other on the deck were now only two left.
