Pirates: Fishing in Troubled Waters

Ming Ye looked at this man with admiration, encountering such a scene.

But I also don’t understand that if I can’t protect myself, I’ll leave it to the residents here!Do you want to die in this alley with the baby?

"Thank you... thank you..." The man lying on the ground raised his head with difficulty and glanced at the child in Ming Ye's arms. He saw that the child was not crying, but was quietly drinking milk.He became even weaker as he spoke.

"Does this elder brother have anything else to explain?" He felt that his vitality was draining faster.Ming Ye knew that he was not going to die soon. Maybe it was this baby that kept him going until now.

"But! It is unlikely that I will raise this child with him. I am a traveler and I will try my best to help the child find a family."

After Ming Ye finished speaking, she looked at the baby. He was a boy.He was drinking milk and was very quiet at the moment. Although he had been running away with this man for a while, he seemed to be fine.

It's a healthy baby.

The man paralyzed on the ground heard no words. Although he felt pity, he would not ask for anything. After all, it would be nice if he could save the child.

"Are you... willing to listen to my story?" The man said with difficulty.

"Tell me about it." Ming Ye also seemed interested. People here or in any world will have their own stories.

"I... am a sinner and an executioner!" The man began to tell his story intermittently.

He came from the country's rival, Jarzburg.His name is Douglas Barrett, and he grew up under the protection and training of Lieutenant Colonel Douglas Gray. He is a young soldier under Captain Barrett.

When they were young, the boy soldiers were all called "Bullet", and the boy soldiers had numbers. He was No. 9, and the name of the unit captain was Douglas.

He has the number "9" on his arm, so the orphan he was raised as a child is called "The 9th Bullet of Douglas Force".

He grew up in a cruel training environment. The Douglas team they belonged to carried out extremely dangerous missions every time.

Assassinations, assassinations, death squads.Kill local soldiers and civilians.It's all their daily routine.

But he was tired after twenty years of never-ending tasks.It's tempting to escape Douglas Gray's grasp, but it's almost impossible.Gray has all the information on Douglas' team.

Anyone who leaves Gray will be hunted down and their identity exposed.

Once your identity information is exposed, you will be hunted down by your own country and enemy countries.

Originally, he wanted to give up the idea of ​​surviving on this land and escape to the sea.Get away from here.

Later he discovered that it was impossible.Here, when Barrett wanted to escape, there were no ships that could leave the continent normally. All ships were strictly controlled and under the jurisdiction of the military, and communication with other island continent countries was cut off.

Because of the perennial wars, no foreign countries come here to trade.

It was impossible for a small boat to survive at sea. It had no supplies and no ability to withstand dangerous waves, so he gave up going to sea.

He was wanted three years ago and was hiding everywhere, even in the enemy's country. However, the people in Douglas's team were all powerful and would be found and hunted down wherever they went.

He met the woman of his life a year and a half ago while fleeing to a small village.

She was a simple country girl who found Barrett in shock and coma by the river.The man covered in blood frightened the girl.

The kind-hearted girl took him home with difficulty. The girl's family were all simple and kind-hearted, and they received Barrett warmly.

In this remote village, everything develops naturally, and Barrett, who is seriously injured, is taken care of meticulously every day.

Since Barrett recovered from his injury, he has been infected by the warmth here. For him, this is the feeling of family, something he has not felt in several years.

The long period of peaceful life seemed to have made him forget about the pursuit of the Douglas team.

Since then, Barrett has been hunting and working every day, enjoying an ordinary life in a small village where war is out of reach.Six months later the girl became pregnant, and the child was Barrett's.

Yes, the two fell in love, and the girl's old father also accepted this man whose origin was a mystery. On the wedding day, the residents of the village held a grand wedding for the two.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. A few days after the child was born, the Douglas team found this place after half a year of searching.

The village suffered a bloody massacre, and all the innocent villagers were slaughtered.

"Barrett, let's go, take our children and run away. Get out of here, okay?"

"We don't blame you. It's not your fault. I can't survive. We can't leave. It will only hurt you and the child. Please take the child away..." The girl was dying; suffering He held onto Barrett's hand and begged.

Her father was killed, and the villagers in the village were also brutally murdered. With one last desperate look at the child, she loosened her grip on Barrett's hand.

It's her fault, everything is her fault, she feels that everything is her fault...

"Douglas Barrett! You betrayed your faith. You failed to live up to Colonel Gray's expectations of you. Only by removing you can we restore the honor of our team. Die!"

Facing the Douglas team who were fighting around them, after a hard battle, Barrett escaped with his children with difficulty.

But after half a month of running away, he was seriously injured and escaped into this border town by coincidence.

Residents were hiding here everywhere, and Barrett knew that if he and his children were exposed, they would be hunted down.

So for a week, I hid here, dying, and stole milk when the child was hungry. However, the injury became more and more serious, and now I can't move. I can only feed the child with blood... until the arrival of the dark night. .

"Really, thank you." After the man finished telling his story, there was a line of blood and tears in his eyes.

"I...came...to find you..." the man said intermittently and then fell silent.

"Hey" Ming Ye could only sigh.

Ming Ye sat there holding her child with the silent man until the dark night.

Then Mingye buried him on the outskirts of the town.A monument was erected with "9" engraved on it to commemorate this executioner's tortuous life.

His experience is worthy of sympathy, as countries have different religious positions.But he was also a man who killed countless people, and his dirty hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent lives.

........

Ming Ye looked at the baby sleeping peacefully in his arms and felt troubled. However, he had no way to take care of a baby that was just one month old. He had no experience.So I bought a few bottles of milk and put them on my body. When I saw the child was hungry, I gave him warm milk to drink.

"Then let me call you Douglas Barrett~"

"Your father also has this name, and he is an orphan like you." Ming Ye left after staying in this city for a few days and continued walking inland because it was no longer safe here.Those Douglas squad would definitely know.

He couldn't take him out to sea. After all, he lived alone and relied on his own strength to survive on the sea. This child couldn't.

So we need to take him away from this, and then find a home that can accommodate little Barrett.

Moreover, Ming Ye has been drifting on the sea for so long. He is too tired mentally and needs to live on land for a while.

After spending a lot of gold coins in Mingye, he bought a not too luxurious carriage, packed up his daily necessities, and drove leisurely to the inland.

While passing through a forest road, Ming Ye's sense of knowledge and vision spotted several figures lurking in front of him.

The corner of his mouth moved.

"Are you a member of Team Douglas?", someone came to the door!

When passing the big tree next to the three of them, the three of them made eye contact and launched the assassination together.

After a meeting, a carriage slowly left the place, leaving only three corpses behind.They all cut their throats with one knife.The three people have the numbers 3, 6, and 8 engraved on their arms.

Ming Ye deliberately left information on the corpses of several people in order to let his team catch up.

Sealing their throats with a knife was a miscalculation of their strength. I thought they could catch them and struggle for a while, but I didn't expect that they would be gone with just one knife...

after an hour.

'Bulu Bulu~Buru Bulu~~'

"Hey, have you completed the mission?"

"Sir, No. 9 has been found. He is dead. We have confirmed that the burial place is No. 9 Barrett."

"Very good! This is the fate of those who betrayed me. Only I am your captain!"

"Master Gray, there is something to report. The child No. 9 was rescued by a mysterious man. Our team members No. 3, 6, and 8 were killed by a mysterious man when they were removing them. It was a knife to seal the throat. There is no other He is shaking and messy. He is a very strong man. Please give me your instructions next!"

"Oh? What a surprise. Didn't you get rid of the child No. 9? According to what you said, that man is very powerful. He should be a swordsman or above. If there is a baby, don't disturb that man for the time being."

"You can give up first. First things first. The rest of the team members will come back first. The king has a mission above. The baby will give up first."

"Understood!" The remaining Douglas team hurriedly dealt with the three people and left quickly without following up.

After half a day.

"Why didn't anyone follow?" There was no movement for a long time, which made Mingye feel bored.It's not that he kills himself, but he wants to deal with the tail that follows the child.I will feel more at ease when I leave in the future.

......

A few days later, Ming Ye settled in a small village and happened to meet a family, a young couple. Due to various reasons, they had no children.

This condition is really suitable for little Barrett. After observing them for the past few days, Ming Ye is very satisfied with the couple's character.Residents in the village also speak highly of them.

"Sister Jasmine, Brother Kaa, this little guy's name is Douglas Barrett..."

Ming Ye introduced Barrett's origins to them in a concealed manner, saying that he was a child saved by a father who had a torturous life and sacrificed his life. The child's mother was killed by bandits, and the village was looted by bandits.He is a child adopted by chance by an adventurous traveler. He cannot take him out to sea...

So Ming Ye stayed with little Barrett here; he decided to settle down here.
