Chapter 262: A Man Who Lives on Protection Money
The aroma of barbecue in the air became stronger and stronger, causing Yan'er and Xiaobai's stomachs to scream, and seeing the anxious appearance of the little white monkey, they couldn't wait to jump on the barbecue and eat it with their mouths open, but it also knew the power of the fire, so it had to stare at the barbecue and swallow saliva, this aroma caused the red fox who pretended to be calm on the side couldn't help but look frequently, and it could be seen that she was also hungry.
Just when the two of them and one beast were about to see through the autumn water, Xiaodouzi raised his head and looked at us, and said lightly: "Okay! ”
"Hehe, this barbecue is also good!" I said with a grin on the side.
As soon as Yan'er heard me and Xiaodouzi say that the barbecue was ready, she couldn't help but lick her lips again.
I took the barbecue off the fire, cut off two pieces with a Bi Ran knife and handed them to Red Fox and Yan'er, and then cut a small piece and handed it to Xiaobai, who took the barbecue with two small front paws and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
Little Beans also took out the meat ball that overflowed the aroma of meat from the covered fine sand, and then as soon as he opened the layer of leaves that had lost moisture, the oily poultry meat appeared in front of him, coupled with the special technique of Little Bean, the fragrance was simply amazing!
When I turned back to the capital, Wang Wu opened a barbecue restaurant, Xiaodouzi opened a chicken shop, it is estimated that the entire catering industry in the capital is so monopolized, and he will have to become a catering tycoon in less than half a year, and he will have to queue up to buy it!
Xiaodouzi quietly tore the roasted meat into pieces, and then handed it to the two of us, and then tore off a piece of meat with bones and handed it to Xiaobai, Xiaobai was not ambiguous, took the roast meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Alas, another snack goods!
The four of us just sat around the fire, eating barbecue in the sea breeze, and chatting while eating was very hapi!
When we couldn't eat anymore, the ground around us was already covered with fine pieces of meat and bones, and the air was still filled with the tempting smell of meat, but we couldn't move anymore.
There is an idiom that says: Sitting on this quiet and comfortable island, facing the sea breeze, looking at the vast sea, and the sailing fishing boats, it feels ......, uh...... Well, why didn't anyone tell me there were fishing boats around here?!
I stood up abruptly and said casually, "There is a situation!" ”
Xiaodouzi, Yan'er and the red fox also turned their heads to look when they heard me say this, only to see a few sails popping up in the distant sea at some point, the sails looked like small wooden sticks because they were far away, but gradually they became bigger, and the boats also increased, and they were already connected in a moment, I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart, I'll go, what's the situation?
Suddenly, so many fishing boats came and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, dare to love the smoke that rolled into the sky when we were barbecuing just now, and it became a natural distress signal, these fishing boats must have followed the smoke to come, please, please, but don't rush to catch us, we didn't mean to ......!
Just when I was at a loss, the red fox stared at those sailboats and whispered, "Bi Gongzi, these are not fishing boats!" ”
"Not a fishing boat?" I stopped and stared at the approaching sailboats, not fishing boats, but the Pirate Caribbean ships that had crossed the ocean to beg me to join me.
I lowered my voice: "Whether it's friend or foe, we have to be careful!"
"Hmm!" The three of them nodded in unison.
The four of us watched the sea vigilantly, and I was ready to let Bi Ran Knife take us off at any time. The sailboats approached the island slowly, and in a short time they reached the shore, and when they did not know what was in front of them, they saw a figure on a larger boat than the others, and the figure looked like a simple fisherman's dress.
"The wolf's eyes...... Did you send it? The man shouted at us.
Listening to his words, I was instantly relieved, and it seemed that people really thought of us as refugees.
"Uh...... We're just lighting a fire and calling for help! "I wondered if I should tell the truth.
I thought that when he heard my words, he would immediately get angry and scold us, but after hearing this, he just waved his hand at the boat next to him, and he couldn't hear what he said, and after a while, the sailboats behind him retreated back the way they came, and dispersed in less than a moment.
"Do you want to get on the boat, I'll take you back!" As soon as the ships dispersed, the man continued to shout at us.
"Uh......." I thought about it for a while, anyway, we can't find the deep-sea moss now, whether the person on the boat is a fisherman or not, he will definitely know what the deep-sea moss is, and it will not be too late to come back when he understands what he is looking for, so I didn't discuss it with the three people next to me and responded: "Then thank you!" ”
The man did not say anything more, but turned around and went into the boat, and saw the sailboat swaying on the surface of the sea before coming to him, and then the man came out again, and threw a hemp rope as thick as a forearm at us, "You can climb up by holding on to this rope!" ”
There was a knot in the hemp rope every two feet or so, and the four of us grabbed the twine, stepped on the knot, and climbed up cautiously, and stood on the boat in a few moments.
It wasn't until I got on the boat that I looked at the sailboat in front of me, and couldn't help but whisper in admiration, the area of this deck is the size of two basketball courts!
The man beckoned to the people on board, and the sailboat slowly sailed away from the island.
The man walked up to us slowly, looked us up and down, probably because I was the oldest, and bowed to me and asked, "How did you come to this little island, old gentleman?" ”
I looked at the man in front of me, who looked to be in his forties, dressed as a fisherman, and said, "We hired a small boat, which was originally just to go out to sea, but on the way, we encountered a strong wind and the boat sank, so the four of us had to stay on this small island!" ”
The man nodded slowly and continued to ask me, "I don't know what the old gentleman is called?" ”
"The old man's surname is Bi, this is my daughter, and these two are my nephews!" I raised my hand and pointed at the red fox beside me, and said nonsense.
The man didn't ask any questions, but smiled and nodded at the red fox.
"Thank you for the rescue of the strong man this time, haven't you asked the name of the strong man yet?" I asked.
"Ha Lu Ha Ha ......, my surname is Yue, and I am the third in the family, and they all call me 'Third Brother Yue'!" The man replied with a smile.
"Well, Third Brother Yue!" I nodded slightly, "But looking at your boat, it doesn't look like you're going out to sea to fish!" ”
"Mr. Bi said with a smile, people like us who live by eating the sea, which one of them is not from a fisherman's background, I just rely on my own strength to help these fishing brothers around me solve some troubles and protect them from nothing!" Yue San said boldly.
At first, it didn't sound like a big idea, but after thinking about it carefully, I understood the meaning of the words, and I dared to love the man in front of me who lived by collecting protection money. I quietly turned my head to look at the red fox on the side, and when the red fox saw me looking at her, she only nodded slightly, and it could be seen that she also understood what Yue San was doing!
Yue San didn't say anything more, and beckoned us into the cabin.
