Chapter 699 Waiting for the Rabbit
"Fine, carefully..."
As if he was floating in the air, Xiaojian heard these calls in a daze. He wanted to go back and see who was calling him, but he was not obedient to him, and he could only feel that his whole person seemed to be flying higher and higher. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain coming from somewhere on his body, and he suddenly cried out, and then his whole person suddenly fell from the sky. After almost a sensation, he opened his eyes suddenly, but was forced to squint his eyes again by the dazzling light.
After a while, he was familiar with the change of light, and then he saw a few people around him, one of whom was holding a long thing in his hand, looking like a needle. He shivered suddenly. When he wanted to get up, he moved slightly and had no strength anymore. He could only stammer and asked, "Who are you...you?"
"Are you still hungry?" Wang Fulin held a bowl of fish soup in his hand, and said with a smile as if he was treating the hungry kittens, "Do you want to eat more?"
Xizai then came to his senses. When his nose caught the unspeakable fragrance, he didn't know where he got his strength. Suddenly he sat up, snatched the bowl from Wang Fulin's hand, and drank it in big gulps. Perhaps because the soup was just right and the fish bones were filtered clean, it was delicious. He drank it in one breath, but he felt that the fragrance of his lips and teeth was better than anything he had eaten! After recovering a little, he put down the bowl and glanced at Wang Fulin who was smiling in front of him again. Then he found that the needle he had seen before had disappeared, and the other figures around him seemed to have left.
Since there were fewer people, he felt relieved. He licked his lips, which were still a little bit chapped, and asked in a low voice: "Where am I?"
"It's still in your fishing village, this is Old Man Fu's home." Seeing Xiaozai's shoulders twitching, and a confused expression appeared on her face, Wang Fulin smiled and comforted. "It's okay, Old Man Fu has been cleaned up by me now. He told him to go east, but he dared not go west. He asked him to stand, but he dared not sit. Old Man Fu, do you think so?"
Old man Fu was pushed forward by Lu Guangwu. Seeing Wang Fulin turn around and glance at him, he immediately thought of the previous process of waking up Xiaocai. He and the other three almost had to draw lots to decide who would sink to the sea first. How dare he question Wang Fulin's words? He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, you can keep it well with me. You can eat whatever you like. I'll make it for you. If you don't, go to sea to catch it..."
I hope these evil stars can let him go into the sea, and that will be his world at that time!
Before Old Man Fu finished speaking, Wang Fu hinted that Lu Guangwu had dragged the person away. When he turned around, he saw Xizai's face full of doubts. But he felt relieved, so he smiled and chatted with him. He took in Jin Bao and Qiu Feng, used Ye Qinglong, and took Shurhaqi in Liaodong, and brought Wang Siming back. Now there is Chen Bingchang around him, and he can tell the psychology of the child and the young man very clearly. Therefore, after his extremely friendly conversation, Xizai ate two delicious snacks that he had never tasted before. The vigilance on the little guy's face has decreased a lot.
At this time, seeing that the temperature had come completely, Wang Fulin asked about the incident at sea.
When he mentioned the old thing, his teeth were giggling and trembling. But because he instinctively felt that Wang Fulin had no malice and was extremely kind to him, he still tried to calm down and squeezed out almost word by word. The initial description was very similar to that of Wang Fulin from Xu Xiucai and Old Man Fu. But as he spoke, he keenly discovered a detail.
"Before you rescue them from the sea, are you sure there is a small overturning sampan not far away?"
"Well! The weather was very good that day, my eyes were very good, I wouldn't read it wrong!"
No wonder, I just wondered how those Folangji people were not a fish, so how could they have been wandering on the sea for so long? It turned out that they had already prepared the ships to meet. As for how they were just a small sampan and then fell to the point where they wanted to plunder fishermen's boats, it is unknown.
Thinking of this, Wang Fulin thought about the little guy's previous tragic situation and said thoughtfully: "How did you think of going to Xin'an County to file a lawsuit?"
"It's Fu Gong..." Although Fu Gong was very kind just now, Xiaocai was still scared of the oldest and most vicious old man in the fishing village, and his voice turned into a mosquito scream. "He said he had to report this matter to the government, and also said that Tangxianzun in the county government is a good person. Seeing that I have no father or mother, I would never let me go empty-handed, and I would definitely give some money."
"But as soon as the money was obtained, it was taken away by Old Man Fu, right?"
Wang Fulin saw Xiaozai but looked at it on purpose. Seeing that Old Man Fu was not here, he nodded quickly. He laughed and said, "By the way, I'll tell you Xiaozai, what's your name?"
Xizai was a little surprised, but she still said honestly: "My uncle gave birth to an older brother for me, so my parents called me Xizai, but my brother died of illness in his early years. I don't have a big name, I only know my surname is Kong."
In the Cantonese dialect, unlike other places, most of them call parents as parents, but as parents as the habits of later generations. Wang Fulin knew this. If the people in the countryside do not know their words, they are mostly casual in naming, which is the case until the new century, let alone now. However, when he thought about the ranking of the home carefully, he suddenly burst into laughter. Isn’t this Kong Laoer? Seeing that the little guy didn’t seem to think it would be a shame to have a name, he thought about it and asked again: “Old man Fu took the burning silver from your elders in your family, but no matter how you live or die, the rest of the village didn’t say a fair word?”
"Everyone is too poor..." Xizai's face became angry, then she felt a little sad, and her teeth tightly bit her lips. "Mr. Fu is the richest in the village, and others can't afford to support me. I have nowhere to reason, so I want to go to the city to find work, but Mr. Fu is afraid that people will recognize me, so..."
It turned out that Old Man Fu was afraid that someone would recognize Xizai as the victim of the previous sensational fisherman's murder case. He found that the twenty taels of silver that Tang County Zunshanxin had paid for was put into other people's pockets, so he not only took away people, but also refused to let them go to the city to find another way to survive?
Wang Fulin's eyes suddenly appeared, but then he continued to talk nonsense and talked about it from Xiaocai. As it turned out, although he was only a **-year-old child, after he repeatedly released his goodwill and suppressed the notorious Old Man Fu in the fishing village, Xiaocai trusted him quite well. He was responsible for everything he knew, including that Old Man Fu's son did have a boat, but it was just a little more decent than the boats in the fishing village, and there were not even dozens of people under his command. Instead, there were only seven or eight subordinates, and it was indeed possible to come back in the past few days.
Although the fishing village was facing a beach, there was a small harbor less than a mile away from here, which was a small harbor that was enough to berthed sloops and had a deep water level. When the boat stopped while taking advantage of the night, someone took a board from the boat. The two of them carefully moved a box in front of them, and then they came down empty-handed. The last person who got off the boat had a deep scar on his forehead, and his waist was bulging, as if he was hiding something, but he turned his head and said to the two people left on the boat: "Be careful, especially those two red-haired devils, I will send someone back to you at dawn!"
The man with a scar on his forehead was Fu Xiong, the son of Old Man Fu. He had asked another boat he knew to send news to his home. At this time, when he thought of going back to Xin'an County and indulging in the foreign housewives who had quietly taken care of him in the county, he felt hot all over. Not only him, but all the subordinates behind him were also excited. Since the coastal islands that were once occupied by pirates, such as South Ao, were swept over and over by the government troops, they were scattered and shot and changed places. Although they and the smugglers also had several recognized bases, it was difficult for women to be able to talk about.
On the contrary, their own village has become the best place to hide stolen goods and supplies. Anyway, when they are doing business on the sea, no one will be stupid enough to use their original name!
"In the early years, when the island of Australia was booming, those guys took over the family. Who would have thought that the wind would turn so quickly and it would be taken down by people in a blink of an eye. It was so unlucky these years."
"What I mean is that it has become increasingly difficult to survive in recent years. If this continues, we will stop for a few years. There are many fields and many villages in Xiangshan, which is the most suitable for settlement."
"When it comes to Xiangshan, I heard that there is a big change in Haojing. Maybe we can make some money by putting together the money?"
When he heard his subordinates say everything, and even some people were whimsical about going to Haojing to get a ticket, Fu Xiong sneered. He didn't urinate and looked at his virtue. Those wealthy merchants would allow them to get a share of the piety? Not to mention anything else, those big Chaozhou households also had smuggling ships. Although there were a lot of goods on the ship, they were not easy to deal with. Each ship had accurate artillery, good or bad, and sometimes muskets. The crew sailors were fearless. Like them, they could only target some small smugglers. If they hadn't made a surprise profit this time, how could they have the confidence to return home?
Seeing the village getting closer, smoke rising from cooking and dogs barking, Fu Xiong couldn't help but speed up his pace, and so did his men. But just when the distance between his shack was only twenty or thirty steps away, he stopped suddenly, and then pressed his hand on the steel knife at his waist.
Something is wrong, absolutely something is wrong! You should know that the old man hired three or four people from the village. After receiving the news of his return, he would send someone to stare at the sea. At this time, he should have spoken out, so why didn't he move?
"Brother Xiong?"
"Walk!"
