Chapter 7 Grate Comb

The pirates are just a bunch of rogues, and without the backbone of the pirate captain, the other pirates will collapse and lose all their morale. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After defeating the pirates, the navy, under the leadership of the commander, turned into squads and entered houses to pursue small groups of fleeing pirates.

The short naval officer did not go after the soldiers, but took the adjutant and a few soldiers to the dock area on the south side of the village.

The fighting gradually subsided, and only the occasional sporadic gunfire indicated that the battle was not over.

Some of the surviving villagers spontaneously converged on the dock area, perhaps because of where the navy's base camp was, or because of the bags of belongings that the navy had collected from the pirates and brought here.

The short naval officer didn't care much about the gathering of the villagers, and sat on a wooden chair brought by the adjutant, calmly smoking a cigar, and squinting through the smoke as the navy soldiers handed over the treasures collected by the pirates to their adjutant for statistics.

The proprietress , Isha and Sun Bo were also among the villagers who were gradually gathering, except for Isha who felt a little uneasy because she had not found her father for the time being, her face was full of the happiness of the rest of her life after the catastrophe, in contrast, the boss's face was much more complicated, not only because she had not received the news that her husband was safe, but also because of the attitude of the navy in front of her, and the older villagers in the village looked similar to her.

Bands of soldiers who had been ordered to hunt down the fleeing pirates returned one after another, but none of them came back empty-handed, either with Bailey, or with blood-stained jewelry, or even with flour and lambs.

Anyone can see that something is wrong.

The village chief of Heijiao Village is an old man in his fifties, and he didn't know where to hide when he was a pirate before, but at this time he appeared unharmed in the open space next to the dock in the south of the village, and several old people of the same age got together, at this time several people gathered around and muttered something quietly, and then Sun Bo saw that the reluctant village chief was pushed out by several old men, and walked to the only small naval officer sitting in the field with a worried face.

The little officer was surrounded by a young soldier in a white uniform, and the village chief, an old man in civilian clothes, was very eye-catching and was noticed at a glance.

The small officer looked at the village chief, the adjutant who kept the accounts next to him also looked at the village chief, and a group of navy soldiers who handed over their belongings also swept each other with their peripheral eyes.

The village chief was even more embarrassed, and came to the little naval officer slowly, the naval officer was not tall, and at this time he sat on the chair, even more short, the village chief was afraid of offending him, so he bent down and stretched his neck before he approached, and asked ridiculously: "Sir, you see the death of the pirates, the arrest of the caught, the villagers want to invite you to the village tavern to drink some wine, celebrate, and ...... to say thank you." ”

"Celebrating? That's fine, but we'll talk about that when we're done with this side of things. The little man smiled noncommittally.

The village chief rubbed his hands, glanced at the adjutant who kept the accounts, and the pile of messy belongings piled up around the adjutant, and said to the little naval officer: "The chiefs have just defeated the pirates, so it's good to rest and rest, so you don't have to worry about these trivial things to count the property, right?" Let the villagers bring their own things back by themselves. ”

As soon as the village chief's voice fell, he seemed to feel that the scene was cold, and the adjutant stopped keeping accounts for the time being, looking at the village chief, several teams of soldiers nearby also stopped their movements when they heard the village chief's words, and looked over, which made the village chief subconsciously shrink his neck.

The little naval officer waved his hand to the adjutant without looking back, motioned for the other party to continue keeping accounts, took a puff of his cigar, and gently sprayed the smoke into the village chief's face.

The village chief didn't dare to hide, but listened to the little man with a cautious face and smiled, and said: "This is the pirate's stolen goods, and they all have to be returned to the public if you remember it." ”

"It's not all stolen goods, some of them are stolen from our village by pirates, not pirates." The village chief said anxiously.

"Can you say that all of this stuff belongs to your village?" The smile of the little navy carried a hint of mockery.

When the village chief heard this, he subconsciously shook his head.

"Then come on, you can't say it's yours, I'll give it all to you, and after we count the things, we will take some time to investigate and distinguish the things, and then we will pick out the things in your village and send them back to you."

"Huh?" The village chief looked sluggish, and the ghost believed that the navy would send things back when the time came.

The little navy waved his hand, ignored the village chief, and after a slight gesture, two powerful naval soldiers came over and separated the village chief, but did not drive him away.

Sun Bo is not too far away from the little officer and the village chief, and the surrounding villagers are quite quiet, so he can barely hear the conversation between the two, he can hear clearly, naturally there are many villagers who can hear clearly, and the villagers are not stupid, and there was a little commotion after hearing the words of the little navy.

Sun Bo also grinned, he really gained a lot of insight today, and the things he had only seen in the news, textbooks, and movies and television were staged in front of him one by one.

At this time, after seeing the naval soldiers separating the village chief, another group of soldiers brought several sturdy-tied pirates to the small officer.

"Who is the navigator among you?" The small naval officer asked an older old pirate.

"My lord, you promised to release me, and I will tell you at once, and I know where to put the captain's logbook." The old pirate is also worthy of the old fritters, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy very cleanly.

However, the old pirate's plea for mercy had no effect, and instead made the little man sneer, straighten up, and leave the wooden chair.

The little man looked at the pirates condescendingly, smiled meaninglessly, swept his eyes over the villagers gathered around him, and then squeezed out a paragraph from between his teeth: "Pirates, they are not worthy to negotiate terms with 'justice'. ”

With that, he picked up the cigar and pressed it to the pirate's eye.

The corners of Sun Bo's eyes twitched in the screams of the pirates, and the villagers who were still a little commotion around him shuddered, and at this time they were silent, and the village chief did not need to be driven by the navy, and at this time he had silently walked back to the villagers.

…………

Sun Bo sat alone on the beach, and the slightly fishy sea breeze blew, making his brain much clearer and combing through his chaotic thoughts.

The pirates are dead, the navy is gone.

The experience of three days ago was like a dream, but the village of Black Reef, which was almost destroyed into ruins, and the sadness on the faces of the villagers could not hide told Sun Bo that it was not a dream.

Sun Bo, who witnessed the two most famous forces in the world, almost had his three views subverted, and after that day, he understood that he could no longer simply look at everything in this world with the experience and habits of his previous life.

This is a troubled world, and in troubled times, human life is not as good as a dog.

On the beach at Sun Bo's feet, there were some endless words and phrases such as "troubled times", "gold is not as good as a knife", and "the king of grass", which he wrote down as he sorted out his thoughts, and then erased them with his hand.

Looking at the ocean that could not be seen at a glance, Sun Bo's mind was a little complicated, that is, some expectations, and some hesitation.

After sorting out his thoughts, Sun Bo returned to the tavern, the entire Black Reef Village is now in ruins, and the tavern is naturally no exception, there can be no customers, only the proprietress who pretends to be strong, and Isha, who has lost her simple happiness in the past, the two of them are tidying up and cleaning the tavern.

On the day she received the news of Sean's death, Isha seemed to grow up overnight, not laughing and laughing like she used to, and her little figure was walking around the tavern, trying to help her mother with her work.

Sun Bo had just cleaned the corpses and bloodstains in the wine cellar, and after the wind blew on the Shanghai side, he joined the ranks of cleaning the tavern again.

Sun Bo didn't have much emotion about Sean's death, it was the boss lady who saved his life, and Sean had a bad attitude towards him, and during this time, he was completely used as a subordinate who came and went when he was called, and he was very justifiably squeezing his labor.

It can even be said that Sean's death made Sun Bo breathe a sigh of relief, because if Sean was still alive, he probably wouldn't let Sun Bo leave Black Reef Village.

"Becker, do you have to go?" Sun Bo was working, and Isha, who was not far away, suddenly asked in a low voice.

Sun Bo had already told the proprietress yesterday that he was leaving Black Reef Village, and Isha may have overheard it, and after holding it for a day, she finally couldn't help but want to keep Sun Bo.

Sun Bo replied with a "hmm", he didn't know how to answer, he understood Isa's thoughts, and even when he said this to the proprietress yesterday, the proprietress also said yes.

But what to stay for? Black Reef Village is too small, it is remote and backward, the information is closed, there is no room for growth and opportunities, Sun Bo may be able to marry Isha and inherit this tavern in the future, and then? Then I prayed for peace every day, and when one day the pirates came, hid in the cellar and waited for the navy to come to rescue, and finally sat back and watched the navy leave before they searched again, and they didn't dare to put one more fart during the period.

Sun Bo has never been an honest and willing person, he can't accept this kind of life, even if the boss lady has a life-saving grace for him, he will not stay in Black Reef Village, it's a big deal to wait for him to mix up and come back to repay him.

Blackreef Village is his starting point in this world, but it will never be the end.

…………

A few days later, Sun Bo finally had the opportunity to board a cargo ship passing through the village of Black Reef, and he had in his hand a letter from the proprietress to him, which was a letter to Sean's distant cousin - the one who sometimes brought him wine - and by the way served as a letter of introduction to Sun Bo.

Sun Bo squinted at the smaller and smaller Black Reef Village in his sight, and muttered to himself:

"Frostmoon Village ......"
