When Yawen walked into the ship doctor's room, he was wiping the injured sailor's chin with a damp cloth. When changing the water, he raised his head, glanced at the wound under Yawen's neck, and immediately snorted coldly.

Yawen smiled gently and apologetically, walked to the side of the table, and said to the doctor who was busy, "Take care of him first, I'll just take a piece of clean gauze."

"You guys who don't know the heights of the world and are extremely arrogant." Dandry muttered, continuing to carefully clean the blood from the crew's wounds and some dust adhering to the flesh wounds, "There is a pack of black medicine in the left drawer, wipe it yourself Put gauze on it."

Yawen took out the package of things from the drawer, opened it, looked at it, and asked, "What is this?"

"You don't need to know." Dandry glanced at him, "Go and clean it up, don't forget to wash the inside of the wound, otherwise the situation will worsen later, and you won't even have time to cry."

"Thank you very much, doctor." Yawen picked up the gauze and medicine, nodded politely to Dandry, waved to the crew member, and walked out slowly.

There is still a lot of clean fresh water left on the ship that can be used to wash the wounds. Now that the fleet is close to the shore, Yawen doesn't have to worry about the water source, so he directly fetches water from the warehouse below the deck to clean the not very deep wound. blade.It can be seen that Sancer had no intention of hurting him, otherwise the wound would have appeared on Yawen's neck—although he had been paying attention to the pirate's movements at the time, it might not be true that his throat would be cut .

Mr. Leovis, who lives in the manor, the father of Captain Andre, is also a close friend of Alvin's parents. Yawen, who lives not far away, is often sent to receive advice with them. Although it can't be said that he can win every battle, there is no problem in defending himself with a knife.What's more, since the pirate attack two or three years ago, Andre has become more cautious and strict. Even the crew members have never been lazy. Of course, he, an important figure leading the fleet, will not let himself be too weak .

"my Lord!"

Suddenly there were exclamations from outside the cabin, and at the same time there was an indescribably sour smell in the air.Yawen rubbed his sore neck, opened the door and walked outside.

Catherine was leaning on the guard rail and standing on the edge of the splint, staring at the sea, and the sailors standing guard all turned their heads and looked out. The expressions on their faces were shocking and astonished. I don't know what weird things they saw. Things, all of them were silent, unable to speak.

When Yawen walked over, he was already mentally prepared, but when he saw large patches of sticky blood on the sea around the fleet, and the remains of fish that could no longer be seen, he still wrinkled subconsciously. Frown.

"Yarvin." Catherine called him, and at the same time covered her mouth and nose with her hand, turned around to avoid this unacceptable scene, "What's going on?"

"Sinna and I also saw such a picture a few days ago, but there were not so many corpses." Yawen said while trying to distinguish the shapes of these bones, his face also looked extremely serious, "here It’s already very close to the port, even if the hordes of sea creatures in the sea are unlucky to come to the shallow sea area, the army at the port will never allow anyone to massacre so close to the pier.”

"You mean, something went wrong in Jerez?" Catherine asked in surprise.She quickly walked to the bow of the boat and looked towards the pier, but even though they were very close to the shore, they still couldn't see the situation on the shore clearly.

"This shouldn't be something that marine troops and merchants would do." Yawen looked around, "You tell the crew to be careful first, I will go into the cabin to find Andre."

The voyages of the past few years have made Yawen understand that there should be a reason for any situation, so he will never think that this small piece of bloody sea area is an accident. He almost inevitably thinks of Sancerre And the pirates that sailed straight for that ship.

But this is not the final answer, he even has some superficial conjectures in his heart.But this kind of conjecture is like the snow and frost attached to the window in winter. Apart from blurring his vision, it does not bring any clues to the answer that jump out of the depths of the mystery.

Yawen finished talking about the situation outside and his conjecture to Andre, and then he came to his own conclusion: "Although I don't know whether the situation here is related to the pirates we met before, I don't think this is the case. The pirate chief did it."

"why?"

"Intuition." Yawen smiled, "This is the way your great captain has always speculated about problems, so let me use it this time."

Andre stood up, walked around from behind the table, stuffed the things in his hands into Yawen's arms, and walked to the door, "Pack up and come out, I'll go and have a look first."

"I'm not your secretary or assistant, Captain." Yawen shook the paper in his hand, turned to his back and said, "You'd better hire a reliable person to do these time-consuming things for you earlier , I don't have that much energy, this is the last time."

After sorting out all the documents, the boat had already docked. Yawen didn't go out of the room directly, but looked out through the window for a few times.The majestic outline of the city of Jerez is looming in a thin layer of mist, and the sails of the boats at the dock are curled up on the masts, looking like the cloth clothes worn by old men who have forgotten the direction of their hometown, stuck to their old age. On the excess fat of human beings, they are scattered in various places in towns and villages, looking indescribably pitiful.

Yawen rarely had such strange thoughts, but when he stepped off the boat and looked at the port of Jerez, which was always bustling with people, he had such a negative feeling.Even the small vendors who went in along the wharf were walking fast and cautiously, hiding behind their shops and no longer willing to come out.Their behavior was so abnormal that even the children on the side of the road looked curious. The little ones poked their heads and looked around, as if they didn't feel the low smell in the air at all.

"It seems that something happened." Yawen whispered to himself, and greeted the members of the chamber of commerce who were trotting over here, "Good day, Bendy."

"Good day, Mr. Bonardi Duran." This young man with a moustache is a worker of the Wilken Chamber of Commerce who is responsible for picking up and delivering goods. He and another member have been waiting at the pier since the fleet set sail. Here, ready to greet them, "Is everything okay on board?"

"Everything is fine." Yawen hugged his shoulders, walked a few steps to the side, and asked in a low voice, "What happened in the town?"

"A few days ago, a group of robbers who didn't know where they came from came by boat. As soon as they entered the city, they began to plunder the goods on the market and the property of the residents' homes. My God, they didn't even Although the army and guards quickly came and took most of the robbers to prison, a small number of them were still hiding somewhere, so the neighbors still have lingering fears. Especially those businessmen who are doing small business, they are really frightened by the group of villains carrying murder weapons."

"Did you see that day?" Yawen asked again, "their number, appearance, dress and behavior."

"There are not many people, about forty or so." Bandy said fiercely while recalling, "What difference can there be in the appearance of those villains? All of them have blue faces, fangs, and fleshy faces, and when they smile, they show their yellow teeth. , I think there is a stench that can suffocate people from a close distance, and the clothes are slovenly and vulgar, and some of them even wear priceless rings and jewelry on their fingers! The behavior is even more cruel and domineering. Children can be kicked out by them directly."

After listening, Yawen probably understood the situation. He nodded, patted Bandy on the back and said: "Go and help the tired sailors carry the goods first, I will pass these words on to Captain Andre, I hope the chamber of commerce There's nothing to lose."

"The surrounding area of ​​the chamber of commerce and the vicinity of Mr. Mochi Leovis's manor have hired horse riders from the farm. Even if the robbers run fast, they can't catch up with their horses. With them guarding, the chamber of commerce is nothing. Loss, Mr. Leovis is organizing manpower to help rebuild the destroyed market, don’t worry about that.” Bendy took a few steps back and bowed his head to Yawen, “Then I’ll go first.”

Yawen circled the ship for a short while, and found Catherine at the loading and unloading place beside the ship. After asking a few words, he found out that Andre had returned to the chamber of commerce alone, saying that he wanted to see the situation during this time. .Cinna was sitting on the pier and chewing tobacco. While chewing, he paid attention to every subtle movement on the sea surface. He seemed to be at ease, without any unnecessary troubles.

Yawen walked over to explain the situation to him, and said with a smile, "Dozens of vulgar pirates have scared half the town like this. If there is a war in the future, how can we continue to live?"

"The pirates are unreasonable and have no mercy on their lives. This is very different from the troops sent by other countries." Sina shrugged, "They look scary enough."

"Whether it's pirates or the military, there is a risk of losing lives. What's the difference?"

"You're just too calm, Yawen, that's why you can't understand him—it's like death, you think being cut open by a cold blade, and being poured into your throat by mysterious and oppressive salty sea water, which one Is it more uncomfortable?" Cinna raised his head and said to him, "So most people are willing to face the well-dressed and elegant national army, rather than a group of beasts who are willing to bite and swallow even hard and cold raw meat."

"Sounds reasonable." Yawen crossed his hands and agreed with his point of view, "So the fear of the residents comes from the hideous appearance of these villains and word of mouth from people all over the world, rather than the tyranny of the pirates themselves Is that right?" He shook his head slowly, his expression full of pity and pity, "If that's the case, then even if you die, it's justifiable."
