The three of them crept into the cave. The www.biquge.info cave was dry, and there was nothing on the stone walls. The three of them walked forward for a while, and their eyes seemed to light up slightly, so they quickened their pace. The road under my feet seemed to be extending downward, and after walking for a short time, my eyes gradually opened up, and at this time I could already see clearly that the light of Fang Cai was the sunlight seeping into the gap in the roof of the cave, and the place where the sunlight shone was actually a natural cave several zhang square. What's even more surprising is that there are still more than a dozen large cloth bags scattered in the cave.

Fang Bao's eyes widened and said, "What do you think will be in the bag?" ”

Xiao Ming approached, touched a bag, there was only a little dust on it, and said, "It seems that these bags haven't been here for long." You see, there is not even ashes. He reached out and touched it again, and said, "Do you want to open it and take a look?" ”

Ah Zhu said: "Let's hurry up." What if someone comes and says we're stealing? ”

Fang Bao suddenly exclaimed, "This can't be a place for pirates to hide their treasures!" I've heard that there are pirates on the seas around here, but we have really encountered them! ”

Xiao Ming was startled, quickly retracted his hand, and said, "Then don't look at it, let's run away." Ah Zhu nodded again and again.

Fang Bao was also scared at this time, and said, "Let's go." ”

But at this moment, there was a faint sound of footsteps at the entrance of the cave. The three of them shuddered in unison, and their hearts jumped to their throats. Ah Zhu grabbed Fang Bao's arm tightly and whispered, "The pirates are here." Xiao Ming grabbed the sleeves of the two and said softly, "Hurry up and hide." ”

The three of them hurriedly ran behind the only big rock in the cave, huddled together on their knees, holding their breath and not daring to move.

The entrance of the cave lit up with firelight, and the figures staggered, as if more than a dozen people had entered one after another. I only heard someone behind me: "Hey? Why don't you see anyone? There's a boat there. ”

"Second Brother Li!" At this time, it seemed that someone came running from behind, and said in a strange accent, "I looked around, and there was no one on the island." Eighty percent of them are hiding in this hole. ”

Xiao Ming's scalp is numb. I thought: This is a dead deal!

The person known as Second Brother Li said: "A few of you go and see, this cave is so big, where can it be hidden!" ”

A moment later, Xiao Ming, Fang Bao and Ah Zhu were pulled out from behind the stone by several big men and thrown to the ground. Ah Zhu was so frightened that he cried, and Fang Bao was also trembling at this time. I only heard one person: "Three children, slaughter them and throw them into the sea." ”

Xiao Ming raised his head and saw more than a dozen middle-aged men of different heights standing in the cave, dressed as fishermen, but all of them were carrying steel knives and their faces were not good. Standing in the middle should be the leader of these people, Li Er, in his thirties, medium build, knife face, and eyes like eagles.

Li Er looked at the three children, two of them were too frightened to move, but the other one actually had the courage to look at them, so he glanced at Xiao Ming and said, "You, what are you looking at?" Tell me what you're doing here. ”

Xiao Ming was furious by him, and forced himself to calm down: "I, we, came out to play, no, I accidentally ran here." Please leave us alone. We, we're never going to say it. ”

Li Er said: "You kid is quite good at talking. However, now that you are here, don't think about going back alive. After that, he said to a person behind him: "Ah Qi, the old rules." ”

The man named Ah Qi agreed, took out the sharp knife on his waist with a "hmph", and walked towards Xiao Ming and them.

"Slow, slow." Suddenly, a man spoke loudly. When Xiao Ming heard it, it was the person with a strange accent. He was a large man, with a shaved head, thick eyebrows, and a gold earring, not the appearance of a Middle-earther. The man stepped forward and grabbed Ah Qi and said, "Don't kill people yet." Let's talk about it when the big brother comes. It's all children, how can we ...... a few adults?"

Li Er glanced at the big man and said, "Ali, this is our rule." Why are you always such a woman! ”

The big man Ali said, "Big brother will be here soon." It's never too late to do it when he comes. ”

Li Erdao: "Big brother is not here, I have the final say." ”

"No, I can't. You can't do that! Allah will recompense! Ali was adamantly opposed.

At a time of stalemate. Suddenly, the person behind shouted, "Big brother is here!" ”

I saw a person behind him push aside a few big men standing in front and stepped forward. This person is so familiar! Xiao Ming's heart suddenly lit up, isn't this the pirate leader Tie Yan?

Tie Yan also saw him at this time, and the two looked at each other for a moment. Tie Yan said to Ah Qi, who was holding a sharp knife: "You put the knife away." He stepped forward and pulled Xiao Ming up and said, "Little brother, we meet again." ”

The pirates looked at each other. Ali said: "Big brother, do you know this child?" ”

Tie Yan nodded and said, "This kid saved my life, you must not hurt him." What are those two......"

Xiao Ming was afraid that he would give an order, so he hurriedly said: "They, they are my good friends, please, just let them go." ”

Tie Yan hesitated. Next to him, Li Er said: "Big brother, what are you hesitating about." Don't we have rules? ”

"No, you can't!" Xiao Ming didn't know where he got the courage to shout at Li Er, which made the pirates full of holes stunned. "It was all my idea to come here. It has nothing to do with them. Kill me if you want to. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Ming in an instant. I can't see that this weak little boy is actually amazing. Tie Yan showed a bit of approval on his face, and said to Xiao Ming: "You mean, you are willing to bear it alone?" ”

Xiao Ming nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Good!" Iron Rock Road. Then he looked at Fang Bao and Ah Zhu and asked, "Where do you two live?" ”

Fang Bao said: "Yuwen Island, Shangtao Village." ”

Tie Yan turned back to the two minions and said, "Zhang Hu, Wang Datou, you send the two of them home." Don't hurt anyone. Go now. When we were done, we met on the big ship. The two men received the order, stepped forward, grabbed the two of them, and walked out of the cave. Fang Bao exclaimed: "Ah Ming! Amin! ”

Xiao Ming didn't know what they would do to him, seeing that Tie Yan had let go of Fang Bao and Ah Zhu, the stone fell to the ground in his heart, but he was no longer afraid, and glanced at everyone in the stone cave coldly. When I was a child, I was often besieged by others with my mother, and I saw countless big formations, and at this moment, a sense of déjà vu came to my heart, and it aroused a sense of courage.

Tie Yan said: "What's your name?" ”

"Qiu Yinming."

"You trespassed on my territory, and according to the rules, I should have killed you. However, if you are willing to come with me, you are our man, and I will save your life. ”

Xiao Ming thought to himself: I think he should be regarded as a hero, it is better to go with him, at least he will not be bullied in the future. So he agreed, "Okay." I'll go with you. ”

Tie Yan smiled: "Refreshing." From today onwards, you will be my little brother. He turned back to his subordinates and said, "Listen, in the future, Xiaoqiu will be our own people, and you are not allowed to bully him." Alright, everyone, hurry up and get all the stuff here on the ship. Not in the future. ”

The pirate minions are busy. Tie Yan and the small Ming Dynasty cave mouth walked. Xiao Ming said: "Why don't you kill me, but let me go with you?" Tie Yan smiled and said, "You have a life-saving grace for me, how can I kill you." We have met three times, which shows that you and I are destined. I see that you are different from other children, and your body and bones are also good, and you are a good material, so I asked you to learn martial arts with me, go to the sea, and be my good helper in the future. Then he asked, "The last time I saw you working in the salt works in Quanzhou, why did you go to Yuweng Island?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "I was originally an orphan, and I was also abducted by traffickers in Quanzhou. Later, he was chased and beaten by those evil young men and hid on a fishing boat. As a result, he followed the fishing boat to Fisherman's Island and let others adopt him. Anyway, it's the same everywhere I go. ”

Tie Yan said: "Okay. At a young age, you can make your home all over the world. ”

Get out of the cave and climb to the top of the cliff. Xiao Ming saw from a distance that the boat carrying Fang Bao and Ah Zhu had already left the Devil's Head Reef and was moving quickly in the direction of Yuweng Island, knowing that Tie Yan had not deceived him. The salty sea breeze blew in his face, dispelling the tension in Fang Cai's heart. breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart: Follow him to go on a journey, although the future is bleak, but it is really more promising than fostering in a fisherman's home. It's just that...... Xiao Ming looked back at the group of people rushing out behind him, and thought: With these people, it is difficult to protect yourself.

With anxious conjectures, Xiao Ming followed Tie Yan and his party, with the things in the stone cave, and successively got on several small boats docked on the beach, and sailed south, and after a while, he saw two big boats in front of him.

The boats split into two groups and quickly approached the two large ships. After a while, two rope ladders hung down from the big ship. A person on the side of the boat beckoned to Tie Yan and said, "Big brother, I have already asked Lin Xiang and them to open the way first as you said." Are we going to catch up with them? Tie Yan said to the man, "I'll talk about it when I come up." After that, he greeted Xiao Ming and said, "Climb up." ”

Xiao Ming looked up at the dangling rope ladder, gritted his teeth, grabbed the rope and climbed up, turning onto the deck, only to see several pairs of eyes looking at him curiously.

Standing on the edge of the rope ladder was the man who had just greeted Tie Yan, who looked very young, only fifteen or sixteen years old, wrapped in a turban, and was not from Middle-earth, but somewhat similar to that Ali, but much better looking than Ali. There were three or four minions standing on the deck, and one person was climbing up from the bilge, Xiao Ming was startled when he saw it, the person was as ugly as a ghost, his face seemed to have been burned, his facial features were deformed, and he was also staring at Xiao Ming at this time. Xiao Ming quickly turned his head.

The young man asked Xiao Ming, "Who are you?" ”

Xiao Ming looked friendly and said, "My name is Qiu Yinming." It was newly acquired by Big Brother Tie. ”

The young man smiled: "Hehe, everyone who comes to join the gang has two hands, what will you do?" ”

Xiao Ming saw the ridicule on his face, and said generously: "I can write." Will you? ”

The young man didn't expect this kid to answer so confidently, laughed, and said to Tie Yan: "Big brother." Where did you find such a little bit? He said he was going to be the bookkeeper for us! ”

Tie Yan smiled and said to Xiao Ming: "Don't listen to his nonsense. His name is Hassan. Like Ali, they are big cannibals. Then he pointed to the ugly man on the side of the cabin: "His name is Baron, and he is a good firearmer." ”

Tie Yan introduced the people on the boat to Xiao Ming one by one. It turned out that they were indeed not real pirates, but a smuggling gang, with a total of more than sixty people, divided into three ships. What I heard from Ah Shen earlier was obviously exaggerated by the people of Quanzhou. Each ship has a leader, and the ship that Iron Rock is on is the elite of the gang.
