Although they are not a family, Zha Jiang started to go to sea with old man Zhao very early on. Zhao Bingyu looked no different from his own sister when he grew up.

Zhao Bingyu said: "Something happened at Aunt Wang's house."

Everyone was stunned, old man Zhao frowned slightly and said, "What happened?"

"Uncle Wang, Dabao, and Erbao are dead." Zhao Bingyu said in a low voice.

"What?! What's going on?" Old man Zhao asked with wide eyes.

Zhao Bingyu looked at his brother at the side, bit his lower lip and said: "Uncle Wang and the others encountered pirates when they returned from the sea."

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing Zhao Bingyu's words.

"Made! These damned bastards! Now three of the four members of the Wang family have died. How will Aunt Wang live?!" Zha Jiang said fiercely in his eyes.

Daniel frowned and asked, "Are there many pirates around here?"

The water monkey nodded and said, "Well, there are more merchant ships in the Strait of Malacca, so there are also many pirates. But in the past, these pirates only targeted merchant ships and rarely attacked fishing boats. Since a pirate nicknamed Yellow Beard came to This area is different. This group of people is extremely vicious, except for robbing merchant ships and even fishing boats, as long as they meet them, nothing good will happen, it is simply a game of killing people, Xiaoyu's parents are..."

The water monkey didn't say anything, because he felt Zhao Xueyang's cold gaze.

"Oh, natural disasters and man-made disasters, let's go, first go to Wang's house to see." Old man Zhao said.

The group went straight to Wang's house not far from Zhao's house.

Chapter 984 There is a way

Before entering the door, the group heard Aunt Wang's wailing.

At this moment, almost all the fishermen at home on the island gathered in the small yard of Aunt Wang's house.

There were three corpses lying on the ground. Aunt Wang cried bitterly while lying on top of the corpses. A few women comforted her while the men looked sad and not angry.

Seeing old man Zhao and his party coming, the crowd spontaneously moved out of the way. Old man Zhao has a high prestige on the island, and these fishermen also respect him very much.

Looking at the three corpses on the ground, all three of them were shot in the eyebrows.

Old man Zhao asked: "What's going on?"

A thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man who looked about 40 to [-] years old said: "When we came back last night, we ran into people with yellow beards. They told us to stop the boat and we didn't dare to resist. Later, when they got on the boat, we were asked to kneel in a row. , we thought they were just looking for property, and would leave if they couldn’t find anything valuable, but who knew they would shoot and kill Wang Ge, Da Bao, and Er Bao without saying a word.”

This person's voice trembled a little, his face turned pale, obviously he was very frightened yesterday.

"Then why are you alright?" Daniel asked.

The man swallowed his saliva and said, "He...they asked me to come back to bring the message, and let us pay them 5000 Malaysian Ringgits per month for each boat in the future as protection fees and fishing fees. We are not allowed to go to sea, otherwise we will kill once we see each other."

"What?! 5000 per month for each ship?" Zha Jiang asked with wide eyes.

The man nodded again and again.

"Made! Fight with them! We can't earn 5000 per boat for a month. They won't let people live." Zha Jiang said angrily.

In the past, their fish were sold to fishmongers at very low prices. After deducting the cost of fuel and so on, a boat can only save 5000 yuan for a trip to the sea. Usually, they go to sea twice a month at most. During the rainy season or the windy season, you can't go out for a month or two.

But now these pirates actually cost 5000 per ship!For them, this is simply a dead end.

"Calm down! Fight? What do you use to fight with others? Hmm?! They have speedboats with machine guns. How can we fight with these broken fishing boats?" Old man Zhao glared at Zha Jiang.

Frowning tightly behind his hands, he took a deep breath and said, "Bury the person first, this matter has to be carefully calculated."

After speaking, he turned and left the Wang family.

Daniu folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at the three corpses on the ground, sighed softly, frowned slightly, and left with Old Man Zhao.

"Are there many pirates?" he asked on the way.

"I don't know, I only know that their boss is called Huangbezi. As for the others, we don't know much about them. In fact, it is very difficult to meet them in normal times. It is not easy to meet without exact coordinates in this sea."

Daniel nodded and said, "What do you think we should do about this?"

"What else can I do? It's impossible for a ship to cost 5000. It's just a matter of luck. It's just bad luck if you run into one when you go out to sea." Old man Zhao sighed.

It is impossible for them to agree to the other party's conditions, so it can only be based on luck.

"Does the other party know about our island?" Daniel asked again.

"Of course they know, but they dare not come here. This side is close to the shore, and there are often military patrol boats patrolling here. So we are not afraid of pirates coming to our door, but we are afraid of meeting them outside."

"If you don't agree, they may watch nearby and wait for us to go out." Daniel frowned.

Old man Zhao paused slightly when he heard this, his face looked a little ugly, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He knew that what Daniel said was right. Although these pirates dare not come here, they are likely to guard the periphery. Once a ship goes out to sea, they will definitely be discovered by them.

Looking at the thin back of the old man Zhao, Daniel sighed and shook his head. He really can't help with this matter, he can't single-handedly destroy those pirates, right?

Don't be ridiculous, even if he is good at skills and he is just an ordinary person, and he is not an invulnerable superman, let alone how many pirates there are, the guns in their hands are not just decorations!

It's just that if the pirates can't be dealt with, then the life of the people on the island will be difficult. Maybe it's just like what old man Zhao said, it's all about luck. If you're lucky, you can't meet pirates, but If you are unlucky and blocked by the opponent, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Originally, I thought about calling a meeting with the big guys to discuss cooperation after returning, but now it seems that this situation is unnecessary. Even fishing at sea has become a problem, so why cooperate?

Daniu didn't go back to Zhao's house, but came to the familiar beach, where there was a dilapidated wooden boat, every time he liked to sit here and look at the blue sea.

The endless sea always makes him feel extraordinarily peaceful. Whenever he sits here, his mind goes blank and he doesn’t think about anything. It’s not that he doesn’t want to think about it, but that he has forgotten everything and has nothing to think about. .

After lighting a cigarette and taking a deep puff, Daniel looked at the sea with a little melancholy in his eyes.

Originally, he wanted to do something for the people on the island before leaving, but now it seems that it will be ruined.

After this incident, the fishermen on the island were all scared, and it was impossible for them to risk their lives to go fishing.

What can they do without fishing?farming?No kidding, there simply isn't enough arable land for them to grow on this island.

Do you want to wait slowly to be starved to death or venture out to sea to be beaten to death?Daniel didn't know that at this moment, he also felt a little powerless, which was something he couldn't solve at all.

"Give me a cigarette." A voice suddenly came from behind.

Daniu turned his head to look, and saw Zha Jiang walking slowly and sitting beside him.

He took out a cigarette and handed it to Zha Jiang, and helped him light the fire by the way.

"What? Are you in a bad mood?" Zha Jiang asked.

Daniel nodded and said: "Well, I thought everyone's life would be easier in the future, but who knew that something like this happened."

"Made! Those damn bastards, sooner or later they will all be punished." Zha Jiang said with a grim expression.
