After resting for a while in the Ryukyus, the Hayashi family's ship set sail again and headed further south. The ship was at sea for another two days, and Lin Ruhai and the others ran into trouble.

Rinjia Island is located in the east of the Ryukyus, passing through a number of large and small islands, and the sea closest to the Ryukyus is a frequent place for pirates, who often take advantage of the geographical advantage to rob merchant ships of money and goods. However, the Lin family's sea ships are an exception, on the one hand, because the Lin family's merchant ships are several merchant ships going to sea in a group, and the ships are equipped with very powerful cannons and firearms, and the pirates are frightened after suffering several big losses, and they will avoid it far away when they see the sign of the Lin family's merchant ships. On the other hand, the Lin family's merchant ships would sell them some of the things they needed, such as food and weapons such as knives and arrows, so the pirates would occasionally help the Lin family's merchant ships out of the consideration of interests.

Once, when the Lin family's merchant ship encountered a strong wind and waves at sea and was almost shipwrecked, it was a group of pirates nearby who braved the wind and waves to rescue them, took them away from the center of the storm, and helped them find a docking place to repair the ship. Of course, that time, the Lin family's merchant ships also repaid those pirates at the cost of half of the cargo on several ships.

This time, Lin Ruhai and the others also hung a flag with the logo of the Lin family, perhaps because their ship was obviously different from the Lin family's merchant ship, and it was only a single one, and the Lin family's merchant ship began to sail southwest from the Ryukyus, while their ship sailed to the southeast. Therefore, the pirates suspected that they were selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and planned to test it, if it was really not the Lin family, then they could also make a lot of money!

So, after Lin Ruhai and their ship sailed past the island, far from the land, the pirate's ship suddenly appeared in their field of vision, following them all the time, waiting for the opportunity to attack them.

The old shadow used a telescope to observe it, and made sure that only one pirate ship was following them, so he returned to the cabin and reported it to Lin Ruhai.

"We can't sit still, since they don't know the provocation of life and death, then give them some warnings, let them know that something is powerful!" Lin Ruhai was playing chess with Jia Min, and after listening to the old shadow's words, he put down the chess pieces, stood up and walked out of the cabin.

Jia Min carried Lin Lang back to their cabin and took out a travelogue to read to Lin Lang. Lin Lang absentmindedly stretched out his little head from time to time to look out of the window, and then looked at Jia Min with big watery eyes, looking like he wanted to say something.

"Don't think! How old are you that you want to see the fight and kill? I'm honest here! ”

Jia Min's words made Lin Lang think like a wilted eggplant, and lowered his head in disappointment, pouting his mouth high. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise outside, and he leaned on the window and looked out, only to see a huge splash of water in the distance and a puff of green smoke from his own boat.

"Mother! Mother! What was the sound just now? Lin Lang turned his head to look at Jia Min and asked.

"That's the sound of cannons!"

"What is a cannon? Why is it so loud? ”

"The cannon is a very powerful weapon, it can attack the enemy from a long distance, and it can punch the opponent's ship with a single shot, so that the opponent's ship will sink!"

"Ahh That's amazing! Mother, that ...... Lang'er wants to see if the cannon is good! ”

"Not at this time, when there is no danger outside, let Grandpa Shadow take you over to see!"

"It's all over, what's the point of watching!" Lin Lang muttered quietly.

Jia Min is proud and worried about his son's boldness, pride is because the child is bold at a young age, and he is by no means a thing in the pool, and he is worried that he will hurt himself because he is fearless.

After a while, Lin Ruhai came back, and Lin Lang ran over and hugged Lin Ruhai's thigh and said coquettishly: "Daddy!" Daddy! Did you just shoot a gun, did you hit those bad guys? It's a pity that Lang'er didn't see Daddy's majestic appearance! ”

Lin Ruhai didn't know what this little guy's idea was, but he also wanted Lin Lang to see the power of the cannon, and wanted to see if this eldest son was really brave, so he smiled and said: "Those bad guys were scared by our cannon, and they didn't follow us anymore, can Daddy take you outside to see the cannon?" ”

When Lin Lang heard this, he immediately lit up his eyes and kept nodding, and Jia Min said, "Did those pirates really retreat?" ”

"It's retreated, our cannonball hit the sea in front of their ship, they asked us in code if we were the Lin family's boat, and apologized to us when they knew that we were the Lin family, and then quickly escaped."

"These pirates seem to be very afraid of the Lin family!"

"Hmmm! Because the Lin family's ships are equipped with cannons and firecrackers, they have suffered losses and know how powerful the cannons and firecrackers are. ”

"How much money do you have to spend on so many cannons and firecrackers! I think it's because our Lin family is rich and rich, and every ship is matched. ”

"Those cannons were originally bought from the west by our merchant ships, but they were too cumbersome, and each ship was equipped with cannons, which required a lot less cargo. There is a Ninth Grandfather on our island, he is a great expert in making weapons, and after his improvements, the cannon is half lighter than the original, but the range and power are much greater. The firecracker was also changed a lot by him, and this time he went to ask his old man to make a delicate firecracker for Min'er, which is also convenient to carry. ”

"How old is this ninth grandfather, he won't be the secret guard of his grandfather's time!"

"That's right, Grandpa Nine is my grandfather's second batch of secret guards, and he is already an old man who is over the age of old, and now he is leading a few talented secret guards to tinker with new weapons on the island! Oh, there is also a forty-fifth uncle, he is a master of organs, he and Grandpa Nine have set up a lot of traps around the island, with these traps, Linjiadao can be said to be impregnable, there is no need to arrange people to be on duty at all, just send people to patrol around the island every day. Of course, if you want to enter Linjia Island, you must know how to avoid those hidden weapons, and only the secret guards on our island and me, the head of the family, know this, and those aborigines who work on the island do not know at all. ”

"Was Linjia Island inhabited before?"

"No, it's because it's an uninhabited island, and the area of the island is not small, and there is no shortage of various resources on the island, and the location can be attacked and defended, even if it is captured, it can quickly escape to the sea to avoid danger, so we chose it as the retreat place of our Lin family."
