Ryan pretended not to hear and continued to fan the scent.

……

In the woods, the hungry villagers gathered together with bitter expressions on their faces, glancing at the fire on the beach from time to time.

The woods were filled with the aroma of barbecue, and the villagers swallowed uncontrollably as they smelled the smell. My stomach makes a "gurgling" sound.

A man glanced at the children beside him, turned to the leader of the village and said:

"We adults can just endure it for a while, but the children can't stand the hunger. And this... this barbecue is so fragrant. Village chief, what do you think we should do now?"

The leading man looked back at the crowd behind him, especially the children, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

“This group of people came from unknown sources, so it would be too dangerous for us to go out rashly.

In this way, I will go out to explore the road first and ask them their identities. If it's reliable, I'm calling you out. "

So, with blessings and entreaties from the villagers, the village chief walked towards the edge of the beach.

……

"Crack"

Ryan was eating meat and drinking wine when he suddenly heard the sound of branches being trampled from the woods closest to the beach.

It seems that people have already arrived... Ryan smiled and said towards the direction of the woods:

"Come out, don't worry, we are not pirates."

Following a rushing sound, a figure walked out of the woods.

Ryan estimated that this person made the noise on purpose. He didn't take the initiative to show his head and just made the noise. Quite clever.

He waved to the figure, "Don't worry, we are really not pirates."

The figure watched Ryan wave to him, hesitated for a moment, then bowed and walked slowly towards the fire with his hands behind his back.

As the figure slowly approached, Ryan saw his appearance clearly.

emmm, he is a typical fisherman, his face turned purple by the sea breeze, his face simple, wearing a mandarin jacket and trousers, and a belt tied with a long strip of cloth.

"sit"

Ryan pointed to the stone pier next to the fire.

The visitor walked to the fire and slowly sat on the stone pier, but his hands were never in front of him.

"Okay, take out the knife from your back. That thing is of no use to me."

As soon as the visitor's buttocks touched the stone pier, he stood up again reflexively when he heard Ryan's voice. After seeing that Ryan made no next move, he took out a short knife from his back.

Ryan took a large piece of meat off the grill and handed it to him.

The visitor took the barbecue from Ryan, swallowed first, and then looked at Ryan warily. Realizing that Ryan was eating the same barbecue, he put it to his mouth and took a big bite.

Maybe he was hungry, so he ate quickly, took a big bite, chewed it twice and then swallowed it. So, he was successfully choked, and he quickly slapped his chest with his hands in a hurry.

Ryan handed him a glass of beer, and he took it and drank it in large gulps. It took him a long time before he took a deep breath. But he was not eating the meat in his hand, but said to Ryan:

"My lord, why did you lure me out on purpose?"

"I want to help you." Ryan said honestly.

Seeing the "I don't believe it" expression on the visitor's face, Ryan smiled and said:

"Do you not believe me? Or do you not believe that someone is coming back to help you?"

Ryan didn't wait for his answer and asked again:

"Are you literate? Can you read a newspaper?"

The visitor hesitated and nodded.

It seems that as I expected, the people who can be selected as representatives must at least have certain knowledge and experience, and at least they should be able to read the newspaper... Ryan picked up a newspaper from beside him and handed it to him.

Yes, there are news reports about him freeing slaves and rescuing people in distress.

The visitor took the newspaper and read the contents clearly by the firelight. What caught my eye was a photo of Ryan.

He looked up and compared it. The person in front of him was the person in the photo. He then continued to read the text in the newspaper.

The more he read, the more excited he became, and finally he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Lane, I am the mayor of this village, are you really here to help us?"

"of course."

Ryan nodded, "Go and call the others over. They should be starving."

The village chief stood up excitedly, "Okay, okay, I'll call them. I'll go now."

After saying that, he ran back into the woods.

……

Not long after, there was a series of sounds of footsteps stepping on fallen leaves, as there were people in the woods. The village chief led the villagers out of the woods and onto the beach. There were more than ten people in the group, including several children.

Ryan picked up the meat on the grill and gestured to the children in the crowd. The child hid behind the adult, grabbed the adult's clothes, and swallowed, but did not dare to step forward.

The village chief stepped forward in time to take the meat from Ryan's hand, turned around and handed it to the child. The child took the meat and ate it.

"Is everyone here?"

Ryan asked about the village chief, who also nodded.

"Everyone, take a seat."

Ryan didn't know how to express his sympathy. Anyway, this is it, let them eat first.

Ryan pointed to the meat on the grill:

"Eat, this meat is yours."

Several villagers rushed to get the meat on the grill, but were scolded by the village chief.

In the end, it was the village chief who took the meat and gave some to the children first, and then to the adults.

Watching the villagers lowering their heads and eating meat in silence, although there were many people, the atmosphere and silence were only the sound of the villagers chewing.

Ryan didn't ask about today's pirate plunder. He just guessed it and there was no need to mention it again. Sylvie and Aslan speeded up their movements.

Ryan moved a lot of food from the boat, but not all the food was just enough for these villagers to have a full meal.

It's okay to lend a helping hand, but it would be foolish to put yourself at a disadvantage because of it. This is the principle of "a gentleman will not save you".

Moreover, the pirate ship they dragged back was still floating in the sea, and it was filled with the food and property they had plundered.

At the worst, returning those things to the villagers would be regarded as returning them to their original owners. As for what they will do in the future, they can only rely on themselves.

Ryan couldn't always help them.

Seeing the villagers lowering their heads to eat meat, Ryan said, "We met a group of pirates today."

Pirates?

Hearing Ryan talk about this, many villagers stopped talking and looked up at Ryan, waiting for his next words.

"They should be the same group of pirates that attacked your village this morning."

Sure enough, now all the villagers turned their attention to Ryan.

"We have killed all the pirates, and then we dragged their ship back."

Lane turned around and pointed to the position next to the Liberator, where only part of the bottom of the ship was exposed to the sea. It was so late at night that I couldn't see clearly.

"In a moment, you go and turn the boat over. The supplies inside are all yours."
