This ship originally had several rooms for everyone to rest, but due to the temporary evacuation, everyone was crowded into one place, so there was a chance for friction. On weekdays, each door is closed, and there is no time to pay attention to others.

Now, the sound outside was so unusual that everyone saw panic in their eyes.

Several regular customers who often ride on this ship have even more anxious looks in their eyes, because the battle outside has been going on for too long. Generally speaking, the captain here has good command and gives the pirates some silver coins, and the pirates will let them go.

The people on the ship paid so much money not only for transportation and rest, but also for protection fees given to the pirates. This is the market price, and everyone knows it.

However, this market situation seems to be inconsistent today, just because of the increasingly wanton gunfire outside.

It seems that the war has driven the pirates to the end of their rope, so the pirates have no choice but to corner the poor fleet.

Outside, there was bang bang bang bombardment. In the attack with no room for negotiation, neither the fleet nor the pirates were willing to compromise. Soon, the ships of both parties were more or less decorated, and the bright lights were accompanied by

The roaring sound of cannons passed over the 17th century wooden ship again and again. The fire was flashing and banging. The two sides were fighting in full swing. The weather on the sea seemed like a city woman who loved to watch the excitement. She shouted loudly with all her strength.

They happily inflamed each other's arrogance and added fuel to the flames, so the wind was roaring and the sea water was lapping at the sea surface, lifting and falling the two ships that seemed to be on the verge of collapse. The roar of the waves and the sound of artillery fire were so harsh that they could cover up the situation.

The excitement and ear-piercing screams of the pirates were suppressed, and the screams of people in the merchant ship's cabin began to panic again.

People in the cabin began to run around wildly, but the space was not spacious, so they had to walk around in the narrow room. The expressions on their faces were extremely panicked. Some people began to kneel on the ground and kowtowed with their hands clasped.

People bowed to each other on the ground, some people made the sign of the cross on their chests toward the west, and some people prostrated themselves on the ground and performed the great Japanese salute.

There were also children's cries, which sounded painfully.

"Aniang, I'm so scared. Those bad guys will kill us. I don't want to die. I want to go home to see my father."

"No, it will be okay." The mother patted the child's back, even her comforting voice was trembling. It was obvious that even she herself did not believe that nothing would happen.

The child cried loudly and screamed: "You lied to me, my grandpa was killed by those people with knives. They also chopped off his hands and feet, woah..."

The child's cry was heart-wrenching, and the tears were pouring down like endless streams.

And what he said frightened some timid people on the ship who had never seen much of the world. The expressions on their faces became more and more frightened. Some people who had heard of the atrocities of the pirates now heard such words in their mouths.

The real situation was howling loudly, and one could not help but break out in cold sweat. The breath of death fiercely hung over everyone's head. Just waiting for a light touch from the hand of darkness, the soul would return to hell and never recover.

Xin Yue in the crowd still had the same calm and calm posture. She was sitting there with her back against the cabin board, one leg straight and the other arched. Her hands were placed there safely on the arched legs, and she was holding a

Holding a short knife, he was gently wiping it with his other hand.

Perhaps he was a little lost in thinking about the problem, but Xin Yue accidentally exerted too much force, and the handkerchief in his hand was torn apart by a sharp blade. The pieces flew forward in the air. At the same time, the hull of the ship made turbulent bumps and cracked.

The open handkerchief continued to rush forward along with the strong airflow, and hit several people nearby with a few pops in the face.

The people who were hit suddenly turned around after sitting down, and saw the girl with delicate features slightly raising her eyes. Her eyes were watery and black, and there was a calmness and wisdom beyond her age between her eyebrows, even though she was in a mess.

In the refuge room, she also found a relatively clean place to sit down. Her pure white clothes were not stained with any dirt. To be honest, except for the beating she had just made, she was as quiet as air the rest of the time, but her expression made people laugh.

A force that cannot be ignored, it is difficult to look away once you look at it.

"You... aren't you very skilled? Is... is there any way to prevent us from being killed?"

After witnessing Xin Yue's miraculous beating skills just now, a young boy looked at Xin Yue and asked eagerly.

Xin Yue raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

This calm and calm attitude made the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy more and more dependent. Maybe just seeing Xin Yue's strong skills in beating people just now, he worshiped her as an invincible idol. Seeing that she seemed to be able to escape at this moment

He couldn't help but pursue him even more fiercely.

Seeing the young man's glaring eyes, Xin Yue ignored him and gave him a faint smile. He then picked up a large piece of handkerchief from the ground and continued to wipe the dagger in his hand calmly.

"Are you wiping your sword...to beat up those rampant pirates?"

The young man was new to the world, and his emotions and anger were reflected in his colors. He made no secret of his admiration when he looked at Xin Yue, and his eyes lit up when he spoke.

Without raising his head, Xin Yue carefully wiped the dagger in his hand, from the sword tip to the tail. Soon, the sword's blade was so shiny that it could almost illuminate the figure clearly.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the young man pitifully asked again.

Xin Yue slowly turned his head and answered seriously:

"No, I have no intention of beating up those pirates, because I don't have the ability to fight against cannonballs and guns unless their knives are on my neck." She said lightly, "Now I clean my sword just because

boring."

"That's it." The light in the young man's eyes gradually dimmed.

Xin Yue pursed her lips slightly and stayed on the dark-skinned boy's face for a second longer, just because she remembered in a trance that a long time ago, there was a boy about his age who looked at her like this, with the brilliance in his eyes.

From bright to dim.

She never called the child brother, even though the child always chased after her and called her sister.

What she thought at the time was that if she showed more care for him, she would be reluctant to leave him when they were parted in the future. After all, at that time, she thought she would not be able to stay on Chu Zhiling's boat for long. Children's love is too long-lasting, and she

I can't afford it, and I don't want it.

Because when you have family and friends, you will have weaknesses, and she knows very well that when you are not strong enough to protect them, all ties may cause harm to them.

But now, traveling and wandering, at the end of the year, she wished she had relatives and friends to accompany her, no matter how small the journey.

Before my thoughts could begin, I could only hear the sound of iron hooks slapping from outside. It was obvious that the pirates had the upper hand in the battle. Now they were engaging in a boarding battle, and a bloody hand-to-hand fight was about to begin.

"Is there really no way to prevent the pirates from taking them as prisoners?" The young man began to mutter again, this time his expression became more anxious than ever.

"have."
