Chapter 54: Stay or Escape

Dartpura (the island where Yoo Wuyao is currently located) and Darashi (the pirate-raided island) are fifty nautical miles away, and from Dara'a, it takes less than two days to sail at the speed of an ebony sail. At this time, the panicked villagers had already crowded the village chief's house side by side. The outer lookout, the inner ring probe wondered if Bart had woken up.

"It's over, the pirates are coming, let's run."

"Yes, bring your valuable belongings and go out to avoid the limelight."

"But after the last storm, the number of boats in our village is now, and we can't transfer everyone at once."

"What can I do about this?"

After learning that it was impossible to transfer people at one time, the fishermen looked at each other and lost their voices, and people's hearts became delicate at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Liu Wuyao remembered a scene in the movie "Titanic" - after hitting the iceberg, only a small number of people got on the lifeboat, and people began to flock to the lifeboat.

The silence lasted only a moment, and a middle-aged man pulled his wife and children to squeeze out of the crowd.

When he was about to squeeze out of the crowd, he was pulled by someone.

"Monterreys, where are you going?"

Leng Buding was grabbed by the wrist and questioned, and Monteris was a little panicked.

"I, I, I'm going home, and the fish that are out there have to be turned over."

"Hmph, what a flip fish. Don't take me for a fool, you want to sneak away in a big boat with your wife and son. ”

"What a slip, I, I just don't want to wait here, why are you the village chief. Do I have to report back to you where I go? Monteris was frustrated.

Start frying around the pan. There are those who walk, those who pull, those who make noise, and those who persuade.

From their words, we know that there are only three large fishing boats and a dozen small boats in the fishing village at the moment. The so-called large fishing boats are not much larger than private yachts, and can only hold about 40 people at most; The small boat Liu Wuyao has seen, similar to the boat on the lake, and it is good to be able to fit eight people. Another important piece of information is that there have been no pirates in this area for more than 100 years. In their comfortable lives, people almost forget the bloody cruelty of pirates more than 100 years ago.

"Stop arguing, y'all." A majestic voice thundered.

The crowd looked sideways at the man.

It was Cleman, she was in the middle of the crowd, and half a body taller than the people around her, and Liu Wuyao looked at her, she was standing on a chair.

"Now the fisherman Bart of Deira Island has not woken up, and the specific information of the pirates is still unknown. But we ourselves have been confused, panicked, if the pirates are really coming, then isn't it only the fish and meat? Rolling her eyes firmly at the fishermen, she continued, "The boats in our fishing village are all made by everyone, and they are the common property of everyone. We've lost a few large ships since the last storm, and the ships we have now aren't enough to move all of us, let alone your belongings. ”

Whispering begins.

"Yes, the goldfish we finally caught is worth a lot of money."

"I can't take my dog with me."

"What if we leave and they set fire to our house?"

"But if you don't leave, you'll be killed."

"I don't want to die yet."

"I've heard my grandfather say that pirates are murderous."

When the fisherman mentioned how ferocious the pirates were, the crowd panicked, and some of them wanted to leave first; Some were staring closely at the reactions of those around them, looking like athletes waiting for gunshots on the starting line. Perhaps as soon as one person runs, the others will follow, and then rush to the only boat.

Seeing the crowd in the face of danger and scattering into a pile of sand, Cleman's face was full of coldness. She said: "The current ship can only let half of the people leave, and you can bear to leave the same village that accompanies you day and night?" Have you forgotten the difficulties we spent together in the wind and waves, the joy of our toasts in front of the campfire, and the reason why we insisted on the purpose of practicing martial arts? Do you want to have a death match before the enemy arrives, and then decide who gets on board first? ”

"Cleman, we haven't forgotten the good old days, but when facing death, everyone will be afraid, although we are all practicing martial arts, but we have never experienced actual combat, how sure can we be in the face of murderous pirates?" A middle-aged man said.

"Fett, I can understand what you said, but who has experienced actual combat in his life, this island was defended by our ancestors with blood, how can we give up." Kleman's eyes were a little moist, "Do you still have the heart of a samurai?" At this time, isn't it time to unite and fight? ”

All the team members who participated in the martial arts training lowered their heads.

After a while. One of the young team members said timidly: "Captain, I'm afraid." ”

Liu Wuyao visually inspected the young team members, he looked childish, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, it was normal to be afraid.

"Captain, I'm also a little scared." A team member in his twenties also followed.

As long as one person follows, there will be a second and a third. Looks like it's not going to be good.

As soon as the twenty-year-old finished speaking, someone pushed through the crowd and punched him.

"What are you doing?" After being beaten, he got up and said angrily.

"Hallier, you're a coward." It was Besse who beat him, and Besse was Creman's younger brother.

"You shit, you dare to hit me?" Harriett angrily grabbed Bessie's shirt and raised his fist to hit him.

"Yes, I can have the courage to face pirates, how can you, the best martial artist in our age, be cowardly?"

Harriet's raised fist was lowered, and the angry expression vanished in his place, replaced by shame, and he glanced timidly at Chryman.

Kleeman was also looking at him, and there was no blame in his eyes, but he was saying, be brave.

I didn't expect that Besse, who usually doesn't practice martial arts, has commendable courage.

At this point, the village Dariff walked out, blocked the fishermen at the door, and made way for a road.

When Cleman saw his father, he jumped out of his chair.

Hanging from Dalif's house was a huge fishbone, which had turned grayish white after exposure to the wind and sun, and its skull was well preserved, with two rows of fangs like a dagger. A day ago, Liu Wuyao curiously asked the fishermen what was the use of this huge fish bone hanging up. The fisherman replied that this fish was the most ferocious piranha in the sea, and ordinary fishermen could not catch or dare not catch it, and Daliv was the first fisherman to conquer the piranha, and the reason why he hung it was to show his courage and strength.

In the tone of the fishermen, their reverence for the village Daliv can be seen.

"Everyone knows, Deira Island has been attacked by pirates, and the details will not be known until Bart wakes up. I thought pirates had become a thing of the past, but I didn't expect them to appear again. Daliv sighed and continued, "It's already an imminent matter, the choice of life and death, I can't decide alone, everyone votes to decide, go or not." ”

"Village Chief, if you go, we don't have enough boats." Timus proposed.

"I know. Everyone votes to leave or stay. Dalif said calmly, "The crowd pushed back, and those who agreed to stay stood on the left, and those who agreed to go stood on the right." ”

"Father ......" Cleman wanted to say something, but was stopped by Dalif.

"We'll talk about that later."

Fishermen, you look at me, I look at you, everyone is watching.

Liu Wuyao was a little worried in his heart, if they chose to escape, then some people would not be able to get on the boat, and they would be a foreigner, would they be able to take this last "Noah's Ark"? If they are going to stay and fight, then they will also fight.

In the crowd, someone walked out, he bowed deeply to Kreman, apologized, and walked to the right. Someone takes the lead, and a string can follow.

Besser glanced disdainfully at the people who walked by, then walked to the left. Cleman smiled at him, and Besser understood. It's a compliment to him.

Soon the results came out, and there were significantly more people on the right than on the left.

"Okay, you don't need to count, you can see that there are more people on the right than on the left." Daliv said unhurriedly, "I respect your choice. ”

Liu Wuyao pretended to watch the excitement and blended into the team on the right, he thought to himself, could he choose the person on the right, can he go first? But this number is also overcrowded.

There were more than 50 people on the left and more than 400 on the right.

"Alright, let's ask the women to step back to the end." Dalife said.

The women didn't know what to do, but they did it. Only Cleeman did not walk over.

"Next, please step back to the last of the boys under the age of fifteen, including those under the age of fifteen."

The boys did so.

"Finally, please ask the elderly over sixty years old to retreat to the end."

The old people retreated to the end.

"Hehe, that's about the same number." Daliv could still laugh.

"Village Chief, what do you mean?" Fett asked.

At this time, only men over fifteen and under sixty years old were left and right on the left and right.

Liu Wuyao already understood.
