Chapter 302: Minding's Past
Eribe's eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned over to the middle-aged man with a stubly beard and rubbed his hands and smiled: "Hey, uncle, since you have such a big island, you must be a rich man?
"Elibe!" Hao Meng couldn't help but shout.
Rudy touched his chin, "Well, that's a good idea. ”
"You're too greedy, aren't you? We didn't save them for money. Hao Meng couldn't laugh or cry.
The middle-aged man turned his head and calmly glanced at Eribe, whose face was full of essence, and shook his head lightly: "If I still have it, I will definitely pay you unceremoniously, but I have nothing now." ”
"What, nothing?" said Elibe's face changed instantly.
Hao Meng glared at Eribe fiercely: "You are stupid, the Sword Dance Pirates have even robbed other people's islands, can you not rob the property?"
"Woooooooooo......oo Aren't we working in vain?" said Eribe as she ran to the side and drew circles.
Xiaoxue even said: "We didn't come here for them, it's good by the way." ”
Hao Meng was too lazy to bother with Elibe, and patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder: "I'm sorry, our companion's brain is a little abnormal, you don't have to care about what he says." ”
"You're not in your right mind, your whole family is in bad ......," Eribe scolded when he heard this.
Rudy grabbed Eribe by the hand: "Let's go, let's talk to the side." ”
"Talk about your face, believe it or not, I'll beat you up!" yelled Eribe.
"Hmph. As long as you have the strength, come on!" Rudy snorted.
Then Elibe and Rudy fought again, and the fishermen around him, including the owner, were dumbfounded. Litian and the others had a helpless expression, spread their hands and sighed.
"This ......," the middle-aged man said in a bit of astonishment.
It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ellie, who smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're used to it, as long as they are full, they will fight." Leave them alone, we're curious if you can own an island. So obviously it's a lot of money, right? And it must have its own armed forces. How could they be robbed by the Sword Dance Pirates?"
The middle-aged man sat on the edge of the cliff and sighed heavily: "Actually, my ancestor, in the Forest Empire, was also a big nobleman. But then a mistake was made. The knighthood was removed. Only this island remains as our family's private property. ”
"But fifteen years ago, a guy took a fancy to Minting and asked me if I wanted to buy it. Of course I objected, because this was the only property our family had left me, how could I sell it? Who knows......" The middle-aged man suddenly gritted his teeth, "That night, a group of pirates attacked our Minding Island and slaughtered all the living people! Including my infant daughter, my wife was humiliated to death by them!"
Hao Meng and the others were silent, and even Eribe and Rudy stopped fighting.
"These damn pirates!" Elibe cursed through gritted teeth.
"The whole island, a sea of fire, and all the servants, including my guards, were killed by them. The middle-aged man looked at the sea and burst into tears, "I'm the only one who survived, I'm sorry for them!"
Hao Meng patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder and smiled slightly: "No, you are very right about them, it is because you are still alive that you can help them avenge, right? If you also die, who will avenge your wife, your daughter, and the servants and guards on the island?"
"Yes, Hao Xiaomeng is right, it is precisely because of life that there is hope. Once you die, you will be annihilated with it. Ellie nodded in agreement, "Those pirates should be the Sword Dance Pirates, right?"
"I don't know, the other party didn't reveal his identity at that time, and the person who came was obviously here to negotiate, not the main owner at all. The middle-aged man wiped a handful of tears, "For so many years, I have been thinking about revenge all the time, so I survived, but I don't know who to seek revenge!"
Everyone was silent for a while, and the most likely person to know was those of the Sword Dance Pirates, but the high-level people were all dead, including Shanshui, who was also killed by the man in Tsing Yi, and this secret may be buried forever.
"That's right!" Litian said suddenly, "I think, the one who wants to buy Mingding Island is probably the one behind the Sword Dance Pirates, otherwise the negotiations wouldn't have broken down that day, and there would have been pirates attacking at night, right?"
"That makes sense, do you know who the other party is?" the middle-aged man immediately stood up and grabbed Litian's shoulder excitedly.
Litian smiled bitterly: "I don't know, we only know that the other party seems to be deliberately targeting our Clay Academy." I don't know what they're trying to do, is it because of a feud with our Clay House, or is it because of some new situation?"
"Is that so?" the middle-aged man visibly showed a look of loss.
Hao Meng smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "You don't have to be so upset, since that guy has ideas about Clay Academy, then he will definitely not act like this once, and he will show up sooner or later." When the time comes, Senior Litian, they know the real situation, and then they will tell you, can't they?"
"yes, so you can find out who the enemy is!" said Elibe, clapping his hands excitedly.
Litian also smiled consciously: "Don't worry, if I know, I will definitely inform you." ”
"Thank you. The middle-aged man looked at the plough gratefully and said.
"The boat is coming, the boat is coming!" At this time, the fishermen on the side suddenly let out a shout, and Hao Meng and the others looked up, only to see that large ships were heading towards the island, and the flag of the Forest Empire was still flying on it.
"It's an official ship!" Rudy immediately shouted.
Ellie couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly: "Why did the official ship come? Could it be that they are here to clean up the mess?"
"These guys, do you dare to come only when the Sword Dance Pirates are destroyed?
Hao Meng interrupted Elibe's complaints: "Let's go." ”
Then, the big guy came to the front mountain. However, due to the destruction of the port, the big ship could not get close, so it could only put the small boat first, and some people came over to transport the big guys back.
"Hey!" the people on the boat also saw the plough and immediately waved and cheered.
The little bird flew back directly from the bow of the boat and landed on Hao Meng's shoulder: "Dad, I'm back!"
Hao Meng smiled and touched the bird's head: "Good job." ”
After a while, the boat had already docked, and many students from Clay Academy jumped down. They excitedly came to Litian and the others: "Senior." You're so powerful, even the biggest pirate group on the Abine Sea has been wiped out!"
"Luck, luck. Litian smiled.
It's not modest, it's luck. And they destroyed all the food. Otherwise, it will be up to ten of them. How could it be possible to get the Sword Dance Pirates? Every time he remembered that Hao Meng said that he would destroy the Sword Dance Pirates, his spine felt a little cold.
"Don't talk about it, you're tired too. Hurry up and upload it. A few students from Clay Academy greeted them warmly.
Litian waved his hand: "Let's not be in a hurry, let those fishermen go up first." But then again, how could an official ship come with you?"
"Hello, Plough Heaven!" at this moment a knight-like man in armor walked over, "I am the captain of the garrison of Linhe City, and I can answer you this question. We learned that they were searching for a large number of ships, and we thought they were in collusion with pirates, so we found them, and then we learned the truth, so we came with them. One is to find out if what they say is true or false, and the other is because our ships are bigger. ”
"I see, thank you so much. "Plough the sky arched his hand.
Hao Meng had already learned from Rudy later that Linhe City was a small city and the superior of Hill Town.
The nearby coastal towns are all under the management of Linhe City.
"You're welcome, these are all things we should do, and seriously, we have to thank you for helping us solve our biggest difficulties. The captain of the garrison was sincerely grateful, "The Sword Dance Pirates are really a headache for us, if it weren't for you, I don't know how many years we would have had to let them be entrenched." But then again, your Clay House is too powerful, aren't you?"
Litian hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, this is not ......"
Who knew that Hao Meng suddenly interrupted: "We just did what we should do, you are welcome." ”
"Alright, you guys get ready, I'll go and get the fishermen on board. The captain of the garrison didn't say much, politely said hello and left.
After he left, Litian couldn't help but say, "Hao Meng, why don't you let me say it? The most important thing to be able to exterminate the Sword Dance Pirates is to rely on you, and we are just following your ass." ”
"You can't say that, Senior Litian, everyone is out of their strength, and there is no need to distinguish between you and me. Hao Meng smiled, "What's more, if one of our ordinary academies wiped out the Sword Dance Pirates that had been entrenched for so many years, would anyone believe it? So, the credit is still all for you, and it will also make you grow your momentum." ”
"But I'm sorry for you, isn't it?"
Ellie walked over and smiled, "Don't feel guilty, reputation is like a fart to us." ”
"Hey, old lady, you're being rude!" said Eribe with a smile and turned to look at the plow, "If you're really guilty, give us some gold." ”
Hao Meng couldn't cry or laugh: "I said you're too wealthy, right?"
Eribe spread his hands: "No way, I spent a lot of gold coins when I was in Hill Town before, I owe a lot of debts, of course I have to find a way to get some gold coins back." ”
"That's a good idea, and when we get back to Hill, we'll compensate you a little gold. Seeing that Hao Meng was about to speak, Litian hurriedly said, "Don't refuse, otherwise, we won't be partners!"
"That'...... All right. Looking at Eribe's shining eyes, Hao Meng couldn't help but shrug his shoulders and smile in acceptance. (To be continued......)
