As the pirates watched in shock, the cannonballs and stone balls rained down on their ships.

Boom, boom, knock, knock,

Immediately two ships were pierced, one of them with a bang, there was a huge explosion, I don't know if it was hit by the powder magazine, and the pirate ignited himself in a panic, the huge ship jumped suddenly, as if trying to jump out of the water, but just as the bottom of the ship was about to leave the water, the whole ship suddenly fell into the sea again, the ship split in two in the middle, the bow and stern sank into the sea, and the break was raised high, like a cliff full of sharp stones.

The people on the boat scattered in all directions in a panic, and countless people jumped into the sea with a panicked face, and then swam away desperately into the distance.

The pirates were shocked, their side had an absolute advantage, but now the situation suddenly reversed, and in the blink of an eye, two ships had been sunk, two were injured, and more than half of them were lost, and even the remaining ships were more or less injured.

Retreat, retreat...... There was a hoarse cry in the wind.

In the sea breeze, two short and one long horns sounded out of nowhere, which was a signal for the pirates to retreat.

Several pirate ships made a circle in the sea and sailed off into the distance in disarray.

Chen Dong and the crew of the ship roared loudly, some struck the plank with knives and guns, and some put their hands to their mouths and let out piercing whistles to celebrate this hard-won victory.

"Big brother, chase or not". A man asked Chen Dongdao on his back.

Chen Dong laughed, looked at the pirate ship that fled in embarrassment in the distance, and shook his head: "No need to chase, we have few ships, if you really provoke the other party's dog to jump off the wall in a hurry, and we are desperate, it will only be a lose-lose, now first rescue the injured and overboard brothers, and then quickly return home, Chen Sipan dares to come and kill us today, and we will avenge this revenge later." ”

"Okay." The man turned around and shouted to the whole ship with full of anger: "The owner of the ship has an order, treat the brother who fell into the water, and then return to the ship quickly." ”

The four big ships folded an angle and circled around the sea, encircling the battlefield just now.

The sailor in the lifeboat, while treading the water in the sea, looked at the two broken boats burning in the sea, laughed, and slapped the water with his hands excitedly, and even the brothers on the boat could not hear him call.

A crew member with only one eye left was holding a big blow knife in his hand, looking at the panicked pirates in the water around him, his face was hideous, and he asked Chen Dongdao loudly: "Big brother, these guys in this sea, let the brothers send them back to the west, right?" ”

"Leave him alone." Chen Dong seemed to wave his hand disdainfully, and then said: "After we leave, the boat that escaped just now will naturally come back to save them, we can't kill these people, most of them are also coastal residents, maybe some of them are still relatives with the crew of our ship, of course, we can't save them, these hundreds of people in the sea, rescue, in case we can't control it, cause a riot, maybe our ship will be robbed by them." ”

One eye and one palm slapped on the side of the ship, and said hatefully: "Grandma's, I really want to cut them with a knife." ”

The pirates in the sea fell with the waves, and some of them were exhausted, crying out for help, and their voices were terrible and helpless.

Yun Qi stood beside Chen Dong and said quietly: "Big brother, I understand the reason, but I can't bear to see that these beings may die at any time." ”

Chen Dong turned his head, patted Yun Qi's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Big husband does things, don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you think it's for their good to save them, but do you know that if you don't save them, they may live, if you really save them, they will really die." ”

Yun Qi wondered: "What is the truth of this. ”

"Their wives and children are all with Chen Sipan, if they are rescued by us, do you think they can go back? Can Chen Sipan believe that they didn't rebel against him? Maybe we saved their lives, but it affected the lives of his wife and children, so we can't save them. Chen Dong also seemed to be a little helpless.

Saving is a greater harm, but not saving is saving.

The coldness on the surface is the kindness of the heart, and the kindness of the moment may be the real coldness.

Yun Qi was speechless, in the past year, he has followed Brother Chen Dong to the north and south, experienced countless winds and waves, trembled in the wind and waves, was fierce and tenacious in the war with the enemy, and chewed the bitterness of homesickness in the morning glow and sunset, but no matter when and where, the belief in revenge has not changed and has always supported him.

However, as he spent a long time with Chen Dong and the crew, he once again doubted his judgment, those crew members who had been with him for many years were originally coastal residents, and their original goal was to go to sea to do some business, make some money, go home to raise children, support their parents, their wishes are very simple, and their nature is also very simple, but there are many factions on the sea, and there are countless pirates, in order not to let their achievements be robbed by others, these simple fishermen picked up knives and guns, normal times, they are sailors, They are fishermen, but when they meet pirates, they become warriors, they become demons, they rush at the enemy with red eyes, knives and guns, they are not afraid of death, they are fierce and cruel.

Many of the pirates who fought with them were also fishermen from the neighborhood, and many of them were still fellow villagers and relatives, but because they were with different leaders, they raised their swords and guns against each other.

Who are the enemies and who are the friends? Yun Qi was often puzzled, he had seen with his own eyes the sailors who lived with him every day, when he saw the lone ship at sea, the greed in his eyes, when he saw the weakness and opportunity, they suddenly changed from fishermen to pirates, although these fishermen usually hated pirates very much, but they often made cameo appearances in the acts of piracy.

Yun Qi was in pain, he felt that he couldn't tell what was right and what was wrong, his life seemed to be chaotic, and the world had become very chaotic.

He doesn't want to do evil, he just wants to save his life, so when an enemy attacks him, he will give advice, and even pick up a knife and gun to charge forward, and cut the enemy, but afterwards, he is always thinking about how many of these fights are just things, every time it is for profit, for money, and people can be crazy like this.

Sometimes, Yun Qi suddenly wanted to give up revenge, he even experienced Xu Fusheng's feelings, and thought about it from another angle, if he was Xu Fusheng, after being betrayed by a traitor and slaughtering his whole family and village, he would probably do some crazy things with him.

For many years, how many times in my dreams, haven't I also longed for it, hoping that one day, with a heavy knife in my hand, the sword is as bright as snow, I am happy to take revenge and kill all the murderers in the world who participated in the slaughter of the village.

Because Xu Fusheng wanted revenge, he killed Village Chief Wang and Qian Song, and by the way, destroyed their entire village, just as Qian Song destroyed their village, the tragedy of his whole family was just a casual action, not the point at all.

I went to kill Xu Fusheng, killed Xu Hai, killed the fat man, and then what?

Then their children came to avenge themselves, and the hatred accumulated day by day, month after month, from son to grandson, and then at some unknown time.

What exactly do I want?

……

"Hey, Yunqi, what do you want?" A powerful palm slapped on Yun Qi's shoulder, startling Yun Qi and waking him up from his contemplation.

Looking into the distance, the fire of the pirate ship has gradually become invisible, it seems that there are sea ships approaching the firelight, and sure enough, as Chen Dong said, they saw that this side was retreating, so they turned back to save people.

Yun Qi smiled bitterly: "Big brother, I'm thinking, this person's life is too weak, just now in the battle, hundreds of people lost their lives, this time it was our luck, next time I really don't know if there is such luck." ”

Chen Dong laughed, his powerful palm slapped on Yun Qi's back, and said, "Little brother, as the saying goes." If we lose today, now you and I are probably struggling in the water, where can we still see the morning glow tomorrow, brother, the gunpowder you used today is good, turn around, register our casualties, after going ashore, we must treat the wounded and dead brothers, now, don't think about anything, it won't be long before we go to the shore, we will dock, go and have fun. ”

After saying that, Chen Dong turned around and left, he wanted to see how many losses there were on the ship.

Not far away, a shirtless guy is loudly talking about how brave he is, patting his chest to tell the people around him about his deeds of breaking into the enemy camp alone, and almost saying that he is Guan Gong who has passed five levels and killed six generals, he is the sailor on the lifeboat, after he lit the explosives, when he dived quickly to escape, because of the sound waves of the explosives, he was not lightly shaken, and now both ears are buzzing, so he is always afraid that others will not hear it, and the sound is deafening.

*****************************

The night was like ink, and the port of Zhangzhou was dark.

Suddenly, several sea boats appeared on the distant sea, the lights on the sea boats flickered, someone was playing a light language, and a light point appeared in Zhangzhou Port, and someone held a light to reply to a light language.

Immediately, countless lights lit up in Zhangzhou Port, illuminating the port brightly, and countless people came out of nowhere, although there were many people, but everyone was not noisy, just standing quietly in the port, watching the sea ships gradually approach the dock.

With a thud, a huge pedal was lowered from the ship, and several sailors jumped ashore and wrapped the child's arm-thick cable around the iron stakes on the shore to secure the boats.

No one spoke loudly, but everyone was busy, and the people under the ship rushed to the sea with their burdens, and the people on board also carried things out of the cabin, and the harbor was a busy scene.

Yun Qi and Chen Dong stood on the lookout of the sea ship, looking at the busy crowd below.

Chen Dong's face was full of smiles, and he whispered to Yun Qi: "My favorite is this time, every time I come back, the boat is docked, and I see the happy appearance of these fathers and villagers when they get on the ship to transport goods, I feel that all the hard work is worth it, all the efforts are valuable, every time I go to sea, I don't know if I can come back, only when I come back here, I really feel that this time my life is picked up again, and these fathers and villagers, they are so dependent on me, which makes me feel that no matter how much hardship I have suffered, It's all as it should be. It's a pity that now the imperial court still doesn't let us go to sea to do business, we still have to be sneaky, you see, it's so late, everyone doesn't dare to shout loudly, it's really uncomfortable, I hope that one day, the imperial court can open the sea ban, so that our days will be guaranteed. ”

Looking at the busy crowd under the boat, Yun Qi's originally depressed mood also improved a lot, and he comforted: "Big brother, there will be such a day, our good life has just begun, and it will be better in the future." ”

"Uncle, uncle......" Suddenly a man ran up from under the boat.

The two turned their heads to look, it turned out to be Shuigen, Yunqi greeted him, and said with a smile: "Ah, this is not Shuigen, I haven't seen you for a long time, it seems to be white." ”

Shuigen grinned, punched Yunqi lightly in the chest, and then said to Chen Dong: "Uncle, you're back, hurry up and go home, there are distinguished guests waiting for you at home." ”
