Chapter 240 Familiar with the figure
The young man looked at Xin Yue, his eyes slowly glowing with luster, he looked at her and asked:
"What?"
Xin Yue stood up unhurriedly, slightly raised his eyebrows and said: "Kill them."
When the young man saw that Xin Yue was willing to take action, he couldn't hide his joy, but he didn't understand Xin Yue's thinking. After all, he was a young child. Curiosity killed the cat. Even at a critical moment, he still asked what came to mind:
"Why? Didn't you just say that you didn't want to take action easily?"
Xin Yue's eyes moved slightly, and a pair of black and bright eyes gently scanned the surroundings. Most of what he could see were the old, young, women and children who were unable to protect themselves. The crying old people and children added countless sorrows to the narrow room. Look at
It makes people's hearts tighten unconsciously.
Sometimes, there is no need for any reason between people.
In the face of great suffering, human beings are small and united, but some emotions are beyond the control of reason and are instinctive. They can only be adapted to.
There was no trace of compassion in Xin Yue's eyebrows. All his thoughts were hidden in his slightly cool and calm cheeks, and his voice was as light as water:
"I just forgot that if they really put a knife on my neck, I would have no chance to escape. I am afraid of death, so I naturally want to prevent the possibility of them putting a sword on my neck."
Xin Yue slowly raised his sword, faced everyone, and asked in a deep voice: "Where are you?"
People looked at each other in confusion, not understanding for a moment what Xin Yue meant by staring at them with such intense eyes.
Xin Yue said quietly: "Are you willing to die? Are you willing to be prisoners of the pirates, where life is worse than death?"
At this moment, Xin Yue's aura was full of energy, and his delicate features were made more clear and heroic by the glimmer of light falling through the gaps. He was worthy of being a senior officer who had been at sea for many years, and he had a natural courage in his every move.
"Let's put it all aside. I don't have a 100% chance of winning, not even five points. But if I don't give it a try, even one point of chance of winning will disappear."
Some people started to get excited.
Xin Yue continued to speak with a calm voice: "However, if you stand still, you may be taken as prisoners by them, your lives may be saved, and there will be opportunities to escape and return home in the future. Make the pros and cons clear. Whichever way you go, there is survival or death.
There is no right or wrong way to go. Your life is yours, you just have to make the right choice."
Xin Yue turned his head and looked at everyone steadily.
"Why is it like a different person?" Someone in the crowd made a voice, but did not make a choice. That person just looked at Xin Yue in surprise, and his face suddenly became strangely pale.
Xin Yue frowned slightly and slowly moved his gaze, only to see that the man was about thirty years old. Perhaps because he had been at sea all year round, he was no longer a standard Japanese moonshiro, but was similar to the sailors and was replaced by a simple one.
The man had a crew cut, dark skin, and stared at Xin Yue unblinkingly, sometimes cloudy and sometimes translucent.
This person, Xin Yue, had just come into contact with him. Just now, his hand touched Xin Yue's ankle honestly, and he helped build up momentum when the person next to him uttered obscene words. In the end, Xin Yue threw him over his shoulder.
Knocked down hard.
"What's your name?" Amidst the artillery fire outside, the man seemed to be possessed by a demon, and he asked this question stupidly without any regard for his own safety.
It seems that knowing her identity is far more important than his own life.
Xin Yue looked at him for a second, then faintly uttered two words:
"Xin Yue."
The look in the man's eyes was too complicated for anyone to distinguish clearly. After two seconds of stasis, he opened his mouth again:
"It is indeed Yue Ji, you...don't you recognize me? I am Damu..."
Xin Yue's eyebrows soon furrowed in a slight arc, and a confused look flashed across Ruyu's face. Her intuition told her that the whole thing was not that simple.
The man was trembling and about to come forward. Xin Yue put a knife on his neck to stop his progress and said coldly:
"Don't come near me, I'm not the person you're looking for."
The man paused for a moment, then removed the knife from his neck, and in just a moment, the girl in plain white pushed open the cabin door and walked out immediately.
Some people followed without hesitation, some people huddled in the corner, unwilling to move even a little bit, some people were hesitant, wanting to go out but were afraid of being beaten to death, wanting to stay here but were afraid of the pirates this time.
If you are fierce, not only will your life be in danger, but you will also die miserably.
Yes, there has never been a strict distinction between right and wrong in this world. People should not use standards such as bravery or cowardice, smartness or stupidity to measure themselves and others.
Xin Yue knew very well that many times the judgment of a person's behavior is often based on its results. This sentence is a wise saying that should be passed down forever. If he rushes out with her and successfully eliminates those pirates,
Then they will be called brave and smart people, while those who cower in the corner and are killed by the pirates will be labeled as cowardly, incompetent, and passive. If they fail, they will be killed as pioneers by the pirates to scare the monkeys.
Under the knife's edge, they will become victims of impulsiveness, recklessness, and recklessness, while those who survive by retreating to a corner and being treated as prisoners will become spokespersons who assess the situation, are foresighted, and can bend and stretch.
Things in the world are unpredictable, so just do what you want to do as long as you have no regrets in your heart. No matter whether you succeed or fail, you can safely criticize.
The outer area has already been plunged into a fight. The pirates and the sailors on the ship were fighting with red faces. Since muskets were still rare in Japan at this time, few people used muskets unless they had no choice. Now, most of them rely on hand-to-hand combat.
Fists struck each other, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
But of course there are also weapons used in this. The harpoon is a weapon widely used by both parties, because at this time swords have not been popularized to the point where everyone has a set, and the pirates here are not like Chu Zhiling stationed in the Southeast China Sea.
Also due to the almost monopoly on Sino-foreign trade and the overwhelming wealth of the wealthy party, the harpoon commonly used on ships is the cheapest and most convenient weapon and is often and widely used in maritime battles.
The battle spread quickly like a gust of wind. Soon, Xin Yue, who was standing aside with a wait-and-see attitude, was involved in the fighting. It suddenly started raining, and there was mud under the feet of people who were moving quickly.
His own life was in danger, and Xin Yue, who could no longer stay out of the matter, fought hard to kill the enemy. He kept waving the dagger in his hand, and the sound of clattering swords could be heard in his ears.
Just when Xin Yue swung his sword and took two steps back to stand firm, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the pirate's ship over there, and the corner of his white clothes flashed past his field of vision.
