Chapter 47 The Weak Have No Choice
The motive for asking for the pirate flag is, of course, to seek refuge.
But this is the Island of Beginnings, and every once in a while, pirates are bound to visit this place.
That alone is enough to turn Bach's expectations into a pipe dream.
Under this premise, if Maude lent the flag to the young man in front of him, not only would it not have any protective effect, but it might even harm the residents of Haruko Island.
However, this was the first time Maud had been asked to plant a flag for asylum, which made him feel very new.
It's a pity that he, the newly established pirate group, does not have the ability to shelter the residents of Haruko Island at all.
Otherwise, he wouldn't mind planting the pirate flag here and forming a mutually beneficial relationship with the inhabitants of Haruko Island.
Maude shook her head at Bach's wistful gaze.
There was no speech, but the meaning of the refusal was obvious.
Bach couldn't hide his disappointment.
In his limited understanding, just letting the flag of a powerful pirate group flutter in the wind here can deter those ferocious pirates, and thus return Haruko Island to its former peaceful life.
Even if they can't keep all the pirates out, they don't have to go to Dongzi Island to survive.
It is precisely because of how little is known that Bach makes such an unrealistic request.
Seeing Maude's refusal, Bach was disappointed, but suddenly realized that he was too abrupt.
If the corpses all over the ground and the fire in the town were the hands of these two people in front of them.
So, these two people must be extremely brutal pirates, otherwise how could they do such a thing?
And if you come over and talk abruptly, if you provoke the other party to be unhappy, the end will definitely be miserable, right?
Bach, who thought about it for a short time, suddenly turned pale and said weakly: "You guys...... Will it kill me? ”
These inexplicable words surprised Maude a little.
After a moment, Maude burst out laughing.
Bach looked at Maude, who was laughing, suspiciously.
At this moment, the fear that had spread in his heart slowly faded.
There is no basis for this.
He felt that the man in front of him would not hurt him.
Maude's loud laughter drew Jaya and Jim, who were stationed on the mast boat.
"Maude, are you alright?"
Jaya looked at Maude's bloodied body and looked slightly nervous.
"It's okay, it's all someone else's."
Maud smiled at Jaya.
Jaya was relieved and turned to look at Bach in a hooded padded jacket.
"Is he?"
"My name is Bach and I live on the island."
Before Maud could speak, Bach voluntarily revealed his identity.
Jaya looked at Bach.
Gollum –
At this time, Bach's abdomen sounded bowel.
"Uh......"
Bach subconsciously clutched his stomach, a little embarrassed.
Jaya smiled slightly, and looked at Maude with an inquiring gaze.
Maud understood Jaya's plan and nodded.
Seeing this, Jaya immediately began to prepare food.
An hour later.
The fire in the town grew stronger and stronger, and the black smoke billowed towards the sky, as if it was about to merge with the black clouds that had quietly gathered.
A few minutes later.
After a few thunders, it rained heavily in the sky.
In the face of this sudden rain, the fire in the town gradually weakened.
More than ten minutes later, the fire was extinguished by heavy rain.
On the central avenue of the town, a group of people in cotton jackets or animal clothes braved the rain.
At the front of the crowd, Bach was leading the way.
After learning about the situation on Chunzi Island, he returned to Dongzi Island as soon as possible, mobilizing all the residents to return to the long-lost Chunzi Island.
At this point, they braved the rain to travel to a restaurant in the town that had not been affected by the fire.
There, Jaya had already prepared a hot and warm porridge.
The crowd was about five or six hundred people, and they made a noisy noise as they walked, even drowning out the sound of the rain.
The huge movement made figures faintly appear in front of the windows of the houses on both sides of the street.
The owners of these figures were not pirates, so they were not killed by Maud and Lafayette.
At this time, these figures stood in front of the window, silently watching the crowd walking in the rain.
Under the gaze of these gazes, the crowd of people who braved the rain arrived at the restaurant.
After they entered the door one after another, they only saw bowls of steaming Sanxian porridge on round tables, and an enticing aroma filled the air.
Under Bach's orderly guidance, the residents who returned to Spring Island after many years sat tremblingly on their chairs.
Everyone's face was filled with indescribable excitement.
And when they picked up the bowl and spoon and ate a mouthful of hot porridge, the warm current flowing through their bodies couldn't help but bring tears to their eyes.
In the entire restaurant, no one spoke, except for the sound of bowls and spoons clattering and swallowing hot porridge.
Jia Ya stood at the entrance of the back kitchen, silently looking at the residents of Chunzi Island who were silently crying while eating porridge in the restaurant.
Maud came to Jaya's side and said calmly, "In a few days, the hands will be full of records, and after we leave, there will be no changes to Haruko Island." ”
"I know."
Jaya nodded slightly.
Even if Maud and Lafayette kill all the pirates in the town, even if they provide hot food to the inhabitants.
That's all you can do.
After they leave, after a while, there will still be pirates coming to Haruko Island one after another.
At that time, even if the inhabitants of Haruko Island start to resist, it will not be able to defeat the endless stream of pirates.
This is the cruel reality that Haruko Island cannot be changed in any way because of the place it is in.
Maude didn't speak again, but calmly looked at the residents of Haruko Island in the restaurant.
The three fresh porridges were the warm and tonic food of Jia Ya's characteristics, and the effect was immediate, making the faces of this group of people ruddy.
In the next few days.
Jaya did her best to prepare warm food for the residents of Chunzi Island, hoping to help the residents of Chunzi Island recuperate as soon as possible in a limited time.
Dada, who was seriously injured, recovered well after a few days of recuperation and was able to get out of bed and move.
On the fifth day.
The pointer was full, and it was time for Maud and them to leave.
Before setting sail, Dada and the residents of Chunzi Island came to the shore to bid farewell to Maude and his party.
Dada reluctantly looked at Maude standing on the side of the ship, a handful of tears and snot.
In the past few days, Dada has had the idea of begging Maud to let him on the boat.
But at Dell's invitation, Dada eventually decided to become a rookie journalist, hoping to write his own stories about Maude in the future.
As Dale said, if you want to gather fame in a short period of time, they are absolutely indispensable behind the scenes.
And he Dada is going to be the driving force behind Maude!
Before he really gets the right to speak, he has to work hard and work hard.
With everyone waving goodbye, the mast boat sailed forward along the current.
In a short time, the mast ship disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Even so, the residents of Haruko Island are still reluctant to leave for a long time.
They looked at the direction of the mast ship's departure, and they all silently thanked the Maude Pirates for their help in their hearts.
"I'm going to get stronger......!"
Young Bach clenched his fists and swore in his heart.
The weak have no choice but to find ways to become stronger, in order to break free from this sad status quo.
These are what Maude said to Bach before parting.
And this sentence was deeply ingrained in Bach's heart.
Weakling...... There is no choice.
For this, you can only get stronger!
.........
mast ship deck.
Jaya was flipping through an ancient yellowed book.
This ancient book was given to Jaya by an old man among the residents of Chunzi Island.
Maude glanced at the ancient book in Jaya's hand and asked curiously, "What is written in the book?" ”
Jaya gently turned to the next page and said, "It's the history of the Twin Islands, it's very interesting to watch." ”
"History, ......"
Maud muttered, but was not interested.
Jaya looked up at Maude, who was lacking in interest, and pointed the pages of the ancient book towards Maude, while holding out her slender index finger and pointing at one of the lines.
"Look here."
"Huh?"
Maud looked at the words that Jaya was referring to, and a look of surprise gradually appeared in her eyes.
"The twin islands were divided into two because the giants slashed with an axe?"
"Interesting, right?"
Jaya smiled.
Maud scratched her forehead and said, "It's interesting...... But I don't think it's like history, it's more like a story. ”
"Just be funny."
Jaya's eyes were bent into crescents.
