I am a pirate in Ming Dynasty

The Qin family is divided into three parts. Among them, the Qin family (Qin family compound) on the surface is where Qin Shang and others live. In addition to this, there is another one hidden at sea by Qin Zhong. Finally, That is Yangjiabao outside the city.

As a subordinate village of Yancheng County, Yangjiabao is not big, with only about a hundred households in front and behind, and a total of less than 700 people.

The entire village does not look special. Most of the walls are made of rammed earth. The construction of the entire village is more regular than other villages. The houses are arranged neatly and the roads are clear. It looks like a house plan in the county.

Near noon, smoke was rising in the village. Maybe the people in the village were moving. Cats and dogs could be seen chasing each other on the road in the village, and the barking of dogs echoed in the distance.

There is a dense forest covering the periphery of the village. If you want to enter the village, you will inevitably pass through this forest.

The river flowing out of the forest passes through the village and flows along the main channel into the fields. If a family's paddy field needs to be watered, someone will open up the soil at the head of their field and pour water into the paddy field.

During this time, many people go to the fields to do their summer work. The harvest has just ended and a new round of rice transplanting has begun.

Green rice seedlings were sparsely swaying in the ground, and a few hunters stood on the edge of the woods to prune them.

The three brothers Yang Tianshou, Yang Tianzhong and Yang Tianxiao are famous hunters in Yangjiabao, not only because they are good at hunting, but also because of their boxing and kicking skills.

When they have nothing to do, they will wander around the village, and sometimes they will return to the village carrying a few hares, pheasants, etc.

"It is estimated that no one will pass by nearby for a while. Most of the people have gathered in the county seat."

Seeing his two younger brothers coming from a distance, Yang Tianshou stretched his muscles and jumped down from the branch.

"Brother is right, I can live a stable life in the past few days." Yang Tianzhong took off the sword on his back. The piece of clothes on his clothes was all sticky with sweat. He tried hard to pull the clothes and see through Breathable.

Yang Tianxiao held his sword and sat under the trees nearby, breathing heavily with his mouth open: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter. It's a little difficult for us to go out for patrols like before. After a long time, our words are all gone." .”

As he spoke, he touched his face. His hands were all stained with sweat. His eyes were stained with sweat and he closed his eyes because of the pain.

Yang Tianxiao threw the water bag at his waist and took a big gulp.

The sun slowly rose above everyone's heads, and the hot rays caused the clothes to swell. Several people couldn't help but take off their shirts and wash them by the stream.

Just as the cool feeling returned to me, birds flew up and chirped in the distant forest.

When his ears moved, he heard the sound of birds flapping their wings and the sound of claws scratching through the trees. Yang Tianshou was also an old hunter. He observed the trajectory of the birds flying in the distance and suddenly felt alarmed and said: "There are many people heading towards Coming over here.”

Yang Tianzhong and Yang Tianxiao both reacted, and regardless of the water stains on their bodies, they put on their clothes and tied their belts quickly.

Yang Tianshou clasped his hands in a semi-closed position, moved his lips, and heard a loud and clear sound.

At the end of the village in the distance, a young man who seemed to be half lying under a locust tree to enjoy the coolness quickly stood up from the wooden board, making the same gesture with his hands, and a clear sound echoed throughout the village.

People who were busy outside the door and in the fields of each household stopped what they were doing. The old man walked into the house on crutches. The children squatting on the ground playing outside were also carried back by their parents. Adults Men appeared in an orderly manner at the head of the village holding various sticks.

The strong man who was busy in the field came back with a hoe.

After a long gap, I didn't see anything strange. A tough-looking old man walked out from behind the crowd with his hands behind his back. When everyone saw it, they made way for a passage.

"Erhu, did you get the letters from my sons by blowing the whistle?" Yang's father looked at the young man and said.

Erhu smiled bitterly and said: "Village Chief, I must have heard the whistle before I dared to inform everyone. How could I dare to joke with everyone about this kind of thing?"

Yang's father also knew that Erhu was an honest and honest person, so he said apologetically: "Erhu, I don't have any other intentions. Since I have the letter, it's troublesome."

Everyone just wait a little longer and we will find out what happened when my useless sons come back. "

"Village Chief, there's nothing to wait for. It's all our own business. I feel at ease here."

"That is, to put it bluntly, isn't it our own business to protect this village?"

"The only reason Yangjiabao is not bullied by others is because of us young and old men, don't you think so?"

……

"well said!"

"That's right, if anyone retreats, the Yang Family Fort cannot afford to lose this person."

"..."

"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet. There are definitely no cowards in our Yangjiapu, but we haven't figured out the matter yet, so we should keep our voices down to prevent the culprits from being alerted." With everyone's support, Yang's father was almost convinced that there was really something happening outside Yangjiapu. A thief.

"Look there, Brother Tianxiao has been caught!" Erhu suddenly pointed at the group of figures in the distance.

When everyone heard this, they looked over. Aren't those at the front the three brothers of the Yang family? Even if the appearance is unclear, the way he walks is unmistakable.

"Ah, Tianzhong and Tianshou were also arrested!"

Following another sound, Father Yang's heart skipped a beat and his face turned slightly pale. He was old and could only see a shadow in the distance. Listening to everyone's descriptions, his mood went up and down.

"Damn, you came to our Yangjiabao to show off your power. You really don't know whether to live or die. Come on, everyone, save Tianshou and the others." The big man carrying the hoe on his back made a gesture and rushed forward with the hoe.

The men in Yangjiapu behind him immediately understood. Are they arresting people in Yangjiapu? Humiliate them?

Following the big man, a large number of people started making gestures with fire sticks in their hands.

Just when a large wave of charges was about to begin, Yang's father quickly said: "Everyone, wait, the other party has captured Tianshou and the others, so we can't act rashly."

The big man who was stopped by Yang's father became anxious and said angrily: "Village Chief, you believe us, we will definitely be able to rescue Brother Shou and the others."

"Nonsense, what if they do something to Tianshou and the others? If you rush forward so blindly, wouldn't it cost Tianshou and the others their lives?" Father Yang was so anxious that there was nothing more important than the safety of his three sons. .

He only has three sons in total. If they die all at once, the Yang family will truly be extinct.

The big man was dumbfounded for a moment, and immediately started to shout at everyone. When everyone calmed down, he asked with beads of sweat on his forehead: "Village chief, what's going on? You can't watch Brother Shou and the others get hurt, right? Protect them." This village has always been the result of Brother Shou and his friends."

"Let's take a look. What does the other party want?" Yang's father was anxious, but there was no expression on his face.

As the people got closer, strange looks appeared on everyone's faces. Did the figure walking over look like he was tied up? Why do you seem to be dancing in front of the enemy?

"Ah, Brother Shou and the others have rebelled and led the enemy to attack our village." Erhu's eyes lit up and he immediately shouted out his guess.

The big man next to him shook his hand and said with a panic: "Erhu, you bastard, Brother Shou and the others have helped the village to defend the village from so many harassments by outsiders during this period. If it weren't for Brother Shou and the others, our Yangjia Fort would have been in ruins long ago. Damn it, you saw it too, why are you saying such unfounded things now?"

"But..." Erhu touched the top of his head aggrievedly, and hissed, it hurt a little. He was glared at by the big man and dared not speak any more.

The villagers also noticed something strange and whispered.

Father Yang felt bad. Just now, everyone was praising his son in a good way. Even if he was caught, it would be an honor.

If they really lead the way for the enemy, then I will not recognize these sons.

Having made up their mind, Father Yang and a group of people just waited for the crowd in the distance.

Yang Tianshou seemed a little excited and said to the child on the carriage next to him: "Young master, how is the old master's health now? Is he still strong?"

Qin Shang tilted his head slightly and said, "Grandpa, he is in good health and keeps boxing every day."

"Really? The old Patriarch's health has recovered so well?" Yang Tianshou showed excitement on his face, "That's good. For a kind person like the old Patriarch, God should be kind to him."

"Yeah," Qin Shang responded indifferently.

Yang Tianshou turned around and looked at a large group of ragged children, teenagers, and a few good-looking girls. He asked in a low voice: "Young master, why are you bringing so many beggars here?"

"Eat!" Qin Shang was almost in no mood to continue chatting. It was too stuffy in the carriage and he became irritable.

"Ah?" Yang Tianshou was immediately confused. There must be more than two hundred people following this carriage, right?

With so many long-bodied people needing to eat, will Yangjiapu be depleted?

With this thought, Yang Tianshou immediately ran a few steps and whispered to Qin Shang: "Master, there is not enough food!"

"Did I ask you to provide food?" Qin Shang rolled his eyes at the other party.

"Uh," Yang Tianshou was immediately stunned, and his contempt for the young master instantly stopped.

As the young master is the leader of this group of people, he thought it was a joke at first, but after chatting, he found that this young child could actually follow his good will.

This was completely beyond his knowledge, and he secretly sighed in his heart: The young master is really a child prodigy!

"Young Master, look ahead, my father is there to greet us." Seeing the neat queue in front, Yang Tianshou immediately smiled. His father is so efficient at doing things.

Yang Tianzhong and Yang Tianxiao who followed were confused. They just sent a signal. Did dad count it?

"Go say hello and have a nice talk. I'm a little hungry and want to eat!" Qin Shang commanded unceremoniously.

Yang Tianshou got the order and ran forward: "Dad!"

"I don't have a bastard son like you, but you are eating inside and outside and causing trouble to the neighbors. Get out! If you don't get out, I'll beat you to death!"

Instead of his father's kind words, he was greeted with a slap and a stick.
