Chapter 102: Merchant Ships

When Yu Xiaobai got up this morning, he was not harassed by the noisy knocking on the door for his life, and he felt strange while feeling comfortable, a left-behind sister had nothing to do recently, but she kept running to him, and she almost didn't sleep in his room, and she was finally tired today?

But soon Yu Xiaobai knew that he was wrong, because the sun was shining high when he got up, and there was no one in front of the two dilapidated houses, only villagers fishing sporadically in the distance. I knocked on the door of the real clothes house, but I found that it was locked.

"I didn't sleep." Yu Xiaobai twisted the door handle of the card owner, although he could unscrew this old lock with a force, but it was better not to add scars to other people's rusty bodies.

There happened to be a villager dragging a fishing net from the beach, Yu Xiaobai stopped the other party by the way, "I'm sorry, do you know where Zhenyi went?" ”

Kaede asked him to take care of his sister, although the children love to make trouble, they still have to endure it, anyway, the days he stayed there are coming to an end. Speaking of which, the sacrificial festival of the country of the moon is tomorrow, and the letter sent back by Kaede in the past few days also said that the other party should come back today. Barely ate a meal invited by his hard-working brother, and he was about to go back to Konoha.

"Real clothes." Everyone is not familiar with each other, but the person who was asked by Yu Xiaobai put down the tools in his hand, and his expression suddenly appeared with the desire to describe, "Hey, his brother seems to have an accident, Zhenyi and Tian Jibo have already entered the city together." ”

Yu Xiaobai was stunned, he didn't expect this kind of development, "Something happened to Feng, what's the situation?" ”

The man had a fishy smell on his body, and he didn't know if he was told or seen with his own eyes, so he could speak vigorously.

A lot of a lot of narration, but some may not be meaningful, five minutes later, Yu Xiaobai removed the useless parts from the other party's words and understood the situation.

There are still people in the small fishing village who go to the city early in the morning to sell something, but today a few old people in the salted fish village heard in the market that pirates had plundered local merchant ships. This is not unusual, but the local merchant ships will employ a lot of coolies at the docks, and through the conspicuous list, the villagers know that Feng is not lucky to be among them.

Salted Fish Village is so small, and the information of each family is almost transparent, no one thought that Feng would not come back in the past few days and be involved in such a disaster. Helplessly, the only thing the villagers could do was to tell the news to Zhenyi, who had just been confused and didn't even have time to harass Yu Xiaobai, and when she heard the news, she might not even know what to do, and the little girl still rushed to the city with the villagers.

Xie left the villagers who informed him of the situation, Yu Xiaobai touched his face, "I was detained by pirates, and only a dozen or so people from the merchant ship fled back to report the news...... No, what are you doing when you move things to a merchant ship and go to sea? ”

Shaking his head, with the thrifty character that poor people will have, Feng has been working at the dock for three months, and there will be no money to spare, isn't it just to have a meal, do you want to fight so hard......

In the past few days, Zhenyi has been talking about the festival like a bun, and he can't watch a little girl bear it now. Yu Xiaobai walked to the road leading to Bay Town outside the village, there was no one around, he dodged into the steep slope of the mountain forest outside the path, turned into a black shadow, and galloped away as if the difficult terrain did not exist.

Spare the road, Yu Xiaobai also rushed to Bay Town within ten minutes, the review at the gate of the town was obviously a little stricter than in the past, the wandering mob at sea robbed the merchant ship, and the authorities could not treat it as if it did not happen.

As far as Yu Xiaobai knows, although the country of the moon is stained with seawater at both ends, there are not many things on the sea, and the coastal waters are all under the jurisdiction of the country of thunder, and there are very few sea disasters.

Entering the city, Yu Xiaobai remembered that he didn't know where Zhenyi went, patted his head, he thought about it for a while, and ran to the dock where he had met Feng before. Familiar vendors were hawking and smelling mixed, except that there were more samurai and town patrols among the pedestrians.

The ships did not stop, and Yu Xiaobai saw many notices posted on the pillars.

"The night before yesterday, the local merchant ship was hijacked by pirates about 50 miles north of the sea, the number of pirates at night is unknown, a small number of people fled back, the following is the list of seized and missing......

Kaede Hase's name fell at the end of the list, and Yu Xiaobai looked at a notice carefully, and remembered the news about pirates on it before leaving the dock.

Yu Xiaobai went to the mayor's mansion, Zhenyi and the villagers of Xianyu Village, there is basically no relationship in this city, if there is something to do with relatives, you can only go to the official office to place hope.

"Everyone, please go back, the mayor will not give up on those who have been captured by pirates, the samurai army of the daimyo is already coming to us, and we will be able to set out tomorrow to exterminate those pirates......

From afar, Yu Xiaobai heard the noise in front of the town government, many people gathered there, it should be the families of the men who did not escape from the merchant ship, and a person in charge in front of the house was shouting.

"I'm going to save people tomorrow, can that person still be intact, how to do things!"

Hearing that the team sent by the official will not depart until tomorrow at the earliest, knowing that the merchant ship was hijacked two days ago, and counting the time of the samurai's ship, the safety of the remaining survivors of the merchant ship is not guaranteed at all, and many people shouted with dissatisfaction.

"That's already the fastest speed! Everyone's forgive me! The people shouting in front of the house have been hoarse for half a day, and they still have to face the excited family members.

"What about issuing orders?" Someone in the crowd said, "Ask those ninjas who can fly off walls to save people, isn't the mayor willing to ask for money from ninjas?" ”

Posting a commission for a ninja to help is the most expensive option...... What kind of kindness can a vicious sea mob have when they catch those innocents, it is normal to starve to death for two days, and it may not be possible to save people by sending ninjas to exterminate pirates, so it is more economical to let the samurai of the daimyo to support them......

Naturally, the steward didn't say what he thought in his heart, wiped his sweat, and continued to shout: "It takes time to issue a commission, and the daimyo has already contacted the powerful ninjas of the Land of Thunder to the north, so I also expect the power of the samurai lords to ...... for now."

The crowd was immediately dissatisfied, although the usually majestic samurai lord must have been able to defeat a group of pirates organized by the Cornered, but if there are ninjas, they can undoubtedly solve the problem faster, which is common sense.

However, there are not people who don't understand, in previous years, there were accidents with merchant ships, and very few people were able to come back safely, this is not a harmonious world. Angry scolding mixed with some weeping, this accident in Bay Town, including almost everyone in the vicinity, the people who are not involved in it look at the pain of the people involved, the day before the celebration of the sacrificial festival, disaster fell from the sky, and many people were destined not to return.

Yu Xiaobai was in the crowd and found the real clothes held by an old villager, and she looked helplessly at the sound of her useless situation.
