Chapter 459: Pirates
I don't know if it's because of good luck, because of the rain, the wind and waves at sea are also bigger.
However, there is a sea reef in the sea where the pearl farm and the small shell cultivation net are hung in the Ningjia family, forming a semi-circular surrounding area.
Whenever the sea breeze blows, most of those wind and waves are blocked by the reef.
Therefore, the nets of pearl oysters and small shells in the pearl farms have not been damaged in any way, although they have undulated in the sea.
Regarding Liu Hu's return to report this incident, Ning Pengpeng said that the heart that was originally mentioned was a little more relieved.
It's just that, for some reason, Ning Pengpeng always felt that her right eyelid was jumping wildly.
But she asked Liu Hu to carefully check the places where the new fishermen lived.
Those who used to live in thatched huts have now moved into newly built stone huts.
Because of the relationship between the stone houses, no matter how strong the sea breeze is, it will not have any effect on the house.
Security has been greatly improved, and there should be no surprises.
However, Ning Peng pressed her eyelids, why did her eyelids jump so much, and she still felt a feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath in her heart?
"Qing Niang, go tear up a blank piece of paper."
Hearing Mrs. Ning's instructions, Qing Niang went to the study, found a piece of paper and came out, but did not tear it, and directly took it out and handed it to Ning Pengpeng.
Ning Pengpeng took it, tore it up, tore off a corner of the white paper, and then moistened it with the tea in the cup, and with a snap, it stuck to his eyelids.
After pasting the blank paper, I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but my eyelids don't jump.
But her heart is still stuffy, making people feel breathless.
Hearing what Ning Pengpeng said, Qing Niang thought about it and persuaded her.
"Old lady, is it because of this weather that you are like this?"
Ning Pengpeng glanced at the sky outside the house, although the rain was falling, the clouds in the sky were indeed low.
Maybe it's just like what Qing Niang said, and it's because of the low pressure.
Ning Peng let out a long breath, forcing himself to divert his attention.
In the middle of the night, suddenly a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, which directly woke Ning Pengpeng from his sleep.
"Old lady, are you thirsty?"
Qing Niang slept outside Ning Pengpeng's room, and when she heard movement inside, she immediately got up, lit the candle, and asked softly.
Ning Peng covered her heart, stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
Qing Niang put the candle in her hand on the table, poured a cup of water from the warm teapot, and took it to the side of the bed and handed it to Ning Pengpeng.
Ning Pengpeng remembered the scene in the dream, her throat couldn't help but tighten, she took the teacup in Qing Niang's hand, picked it up, took a sip, and heard someone rushing outside, and her voice was full of panic.
"Old lady, no, that pirate has come ashore!"
…… When the ......
The teacup that was originally in her hand, Ning Pengpeng's heart was shocked when she heard the words that rushed into her ears, and her hand involuntarily let go, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.
Ning Pengpeng didn't care about the broken teacup fragments on the ground, turned over and got out of bed directly, even forgot to put on his clothes, and hurried out.
I saw someone standing outside the door, his face full of panic.
"Say, what the hell is going on?"
Ning Pengpeng strode towards him and asked sharply.
The man was trembling and drenched in the rain.
However, there was no hesitation in the words that came out of his mouth.
With a pale face, he told Old Madam Ning all the news he had gotten.
The new fishermen, because of the sudden rain during the day, when everyone had finished their work, went home and felt fine, so they took advantage of the rain and went back to the place where they had lived.
In the fishing village over there, there are still a few families who are reluctant to leave and have been living there.
After I went back this time, I told those families that our Yujiawan was good.
There are several families who are related to each other, and they have to help.
Then, when it rained heavily, I went straight to the fishing village over there, wanting to wait for the next morning to come back.
But who would have thought that the pirates came suddenly.
Fortunately, the people who went to the fishing village were clever and hid under the bed.
Seeing those pirates slashing down at the family where he stayed, blood flowed all over the ground, he covered his mouth and didn't dare to make a sound.
waited until those pirates were exhausted and left for a long time before they dared to run back in the rain.
Old lady, those pirates, will the next target be us? ”
After saying all this, the person who came had weak legs and feet, knelt directly on the ground, and asked scaredly.
Ning Pengpeng went from being shocked at the beginning to slowly calming down later.
Then he squinted and thought about it, turned his head to Qing Niang and asked.
"Where's Steward Liu?"
Qing Niang took her coat and draped it on the old lady's body as early as when Old Madam Ning ran out.
Then while the old lady was asking, he hurriedly went out to inquire again, and immediately rushed back.
When Ning Pengpeng asked, she happened to see Qing Niang coming in from outside.
"Steward Liu led people on patrol, saying that after dawn, he would go to tell Lord Futai that there were pirates ashore."
Ning Pengpeng heard this, but immediately shook his head and said in denial.
"No, wait until dawn, it's too late!
Let Liu Hu immediately send someone to Master Cui's side and tell him that something happened to the fishing village! ”
When Qing Niang heard the old lady say this, she didn't hesitate at all, and immediately went out.
"And you, go and beat the gong and spread the word, so that all the fishermen in Yujiawan can gather here."
If there are really pirates ashore, the fishing village of Yujiawan is not small, and each family's house is a little far away.
If the pirates attack people, the closest neighbors will not be able to rush over to help, and the people will already be nailed!
So, it's best to get the big guys together before the pirates are repulsed.
At the very least, there is strength in numbers.
Hearing the old lady's instructions, the subordinate who came to deliver the message seemed to have found the backbone of the heart, and hurriedly nodded and agreed.
In a short time, he carried a gong and beat it along the road in the fishing village to get everyone together.
As for the pirates coming ashore, as soon as the new fishermen fled back, in fact, the fishermen in Yujia Bay already knew about it.
It's just that they don't know who to turn to for help.
After all, if the pirate doesn't go ashore, he won't stop if he doesn't reach his goal.
Why were there so few ama in the first place?
In addition to going to the sea to dive for pearls, he was caught by this group of dog-day pirates, and then ruined.
Because of the presence of the big corrupt official before, the people of Nanyue Province are getting poorer and poorer, and even the pirates have not been ashore for a long time.
After the big corrupt official was killed, the common people gradually eased up, and they didn't expect that this pirate would also resurrect as the situation of the common people improved, re-ashore, and start killing.
