"Look, look, look, are the people from the Tiger Shark Gang here again?"
At this time, I didn't know it was the child, and screamed in a low voice.
All the young and old looked in the direction the child was pointing.
On the only gravel road leading inland from the village, ten horses were rode by ten swarthy men, galloping slowly towards them.
The mouth of old village chief Lin Dahai couldn't help but twitch.
“Isn’t there still three days to collect the sample money?
Why are these pirates from the Tiger Shark Gang here now?"
This area, to put it nicely, is the inland sea of the Endless Sea.
To put it mildly, it is a no-care zone that is despised by all major empires.
The government probably only exists in Juluo City, which is thousands of miles away.
However, because there is not even a decent town in this area, the population is sparse.
The tax collectors don't even bother to come here.
The tax revenue is not much, and it is extremely tiring.
Nominally, this is the Tang Empire, close to the edge of the Endless Sea.
It is also the Green Chaos Territory, the very edge of the territory.
In fact, in these sparse villages scattered along the seashore, the government has not even registered the population or even the household registration.
Therefore, some fishermen in this area may not be able to see a person from Giant Snail City from birth to death.
On the other hand, wanted criminals from all over the interior gradually gathered here and gradually formed a gang.
Tiger Shark Gang!
The Tiger Shark Gang has gradually grown in size over the years. In addition to plundering at sea, it also collects so-called protection fees from villages along the coast.
That's what Lin Daikou calls "example money".
The Tiger Shark Gang has more than a thousand pirates, roaming the coast for hundreds of miles, and no one dares to control them.
The officials of Juluo City also pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending not to know the existence of such a gang.
It’s impossible not to pretend!
The city lord of Juluo City is at the first level of King Wu.
Although the leader of the Tiger Shark Gang is a half-step martial arts king, he is not afraid of death!
The Lord of the City is pampered and has little combat experience in his life.
How dare you come out and fight with others?
Therefore, this area became the world of the Tiger Shark Gang.
Not to mention the Tiger Shark Gang, they charged no protection fees and slaughtered all the coastal villages.
Juluo City will definitely pretend not to know.
What village?
Why haven't I heard of such a village within the territory?
The Tiger Shark Gang has become the only gang in this area that exercises power.
"Grandpa Lin, it looks like Niu Jiujin from the Tiger Shark Gang is here.
This is bad, he didn't come here to collect the money, but came to rob Sister Qionghua.
What should I do?”
Some little girls were almost crying. They were all trembling and scared to death.
Only the little shark and a few little boys under ten years old clenched their fists.
There was a light of hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to go out and intercept him.
The little shark bared its teeth and had a ferocious expression.
"How about boiling the sea boa venom sacs hidden by the adults and pretending to treat them to a meal. Poison the bastard Niu Jiujin to death!"
All the old ladies looked over.
Although there is appreciation for the killing intention of the little shark, it is more of fear.
"Don't talk nonsense, hate it, but don't show it.
Didn't you almost get beaten to death the last time you gave him a nasty look?
We can't afford to offend pirates!"
The little shark was angry and obviously ready to act.
"But Sister Qionghua is going to marry my eldest brother. She is my sister-in-law. Why should he snatch her away from her at any time?"
An old woman, who was Little Shark’s grandmother, said with tears and trembling:
"Little ancestor, please stop talking.
Don't say we can't handle a nine-pound cow.
Even if we can do it, can we afford to offend the entire Tiger Shark Gang?
That’s more than a thousand pirates!”
The little shark lowered his head, the veins on his neck were squirming, and he was gnashing his teeth.
"Kill them all sooner or later..."
Lin Dahai waved his hand.
"Stop talking, you stay here and don't enter the village.
When you see young people coming back from fishing, ask them to hide for a while.
Especially Qionghua, never show your face..."
As he spoke, he walked toward the village alone, stooped and staggering.
Because of the sudden arrival of Niu Jiujin.
Everyone in the village, young and old, hid and did not dare to go out.
No one even noticed that Xiao Kuo'e disappeared at some point.
At this time, Xiao Kuo'e quietly bypassed the mangroves and sneaked back to his wooden house from the other side of the village.
She felt that although Brother Xiaoxi could eat a little, she said she didn't believe that Brother Xiaoxi would be a sea monster.
Having already wronged brother Xiao Xi once, Xiao Kuo'e felt that he could not be wronged a second time.
Brother Xiaoxi is so pitiful!
I know I can't go back and see my sister.
Those eyes, those tears, made Xiao Kuo forehead cry.
At this time, Niu Jiujin from the Tiger Shark Gang came. He didn't know if he would see Brother Xiaoxi and beat him to death.
How many years has the Tiger Shark Gang been in this area?
They know much better than the government about who is in each family.
Because they charge a per capita fee, anyone who has a newborn baby must report it.
In the second month, babies who are just one month old will be counted as one person and pay a share of the fee.
This nine-pound cow is the adopted son of the big bandit, the leader of the Tiger Shark Gang.
Not only is he vicious and cruel, he is also very powerful.
It is said that at less than thirty years old, he is already a master of the sixth level of Qi Chaos Realm.
The kind of master who could kill all the young adults in Linjia Village by one person.
Xiao Kuo'e quietly walked into the wooden house and saw Lin Xi still curled up in a ball, sleeping with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
He quickly stepped forward, gently pushed Lin Xi's shoulder, and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Brother Xiaoxi, wake up quickly.
There are pirates coming outside, please run away.
If it’s too late, it’ll be too late!”
At this time, Lin Xi seemed to have fallen asleep and had no reaction.
But Xiao Kuo'e couldn't push him to wake him up, so he started crying in a hurry.
"Brother Xiaoxi, Niu Jiujin is coming outside, and he wants to rob Sister Qionghua.
Sister Qionghua hasn't come back yet.
When Niu Jiujin gets angry, he might kill you!"
Um?
Lin Xi, who was sleeping, sat up with a bang.
"who?
Who wants to kill me?
Why do you want to kill me?"
When she saw clearly that it was a small forehead, Lin Xi rubbed her eyes.
"Xiao Kuo'e, why are you here alone?
Where is Grandpa Lin?"
Xiao Kuo'e was so frightened by the sound of Lin Xi getting up that he sat down on the ground.
"Grandpa, grandpa and the others hid in the mangroves.
The pirates came to collect the money and rob the women.
Brother Xiaoxi, run away!
Once outsiders are discovered by pirates, they are either kidnapped and held for ransom.
Or just become a pirate.
There’s no ransom, so if you’re not a pirate, you’re just going to be a shark!”
Lin Xi looked at Xiao Kuo'an, but his eyes became sharp.
