Parents are busy farming

Then Ye Zifen deliberately said: "What I want to do most now is to have a good fight with them. I don't want to continue wasting our supplies, manpower and time."

Mu Hongzhou shook his head helplessly after hearing this, and said to her with a smile: "You really wasted two arrows this time, and your archery skills seem to have regressed. You must remember to practice more when you get home. See! If you don't study hard in normal times, you will regret it when you need it; and some things are hard to understand the difficulties unless you experience them yourself."

Ye Zifen never thought that the master would actually wait for her here, and she couldn't help but say helplessly: "Master, please don't be so good at teaching. This is not like your previous personality."

When Mu Hongzhou heard her words, he really wanted to teach his disciple a lesson right away, but now was obviously not the right time.

He just gave her a cold look.

At this moment, they were on full alert, while the old captain was waiting anxiously on the fishing boat.

The last time they passed by here, they did not notice any pirates, so this time they chose this route with confidence.

However, they had no idea that their target this time was so big that it would be difficult not to attract other people's attention.

At this moment, the other fishermen on the fishing boat had no idea that danger was approaching.

They had just experienced a huge storm the day before, and today they were notified to stop the ship and rest for a while. They thought it was a normal rest after the storm!

So, except for a few who were more alert, the rest of the fishermen had returned to their rooms in the cabin to rest.

They slept in a spacious dormitory, and the sound of snoring was endless, even louder than the sound of the waves outside.

The old captain felt a little overwhelmed by the scene in front of him, but he also understood that even if he told the other fishermen about the presence of pirates, they would only fall into panic and would not be able to really help Miss Ye.

Therefore, he decided to suppress his inner worries and wait quietly.

In sharp contrast to his anxiety were the fishermen who had already fallen asleep, dreaming peacefully and without worries.

It really proves the old saying, "It's bliss to be ignorant." Sometimes ignorance brings blessings.

In addition to these fishermen, the large ship responsible for guarding the fishing boats was also not too nervous.

Their task at this moment was to prevent the enemy from suddenly surrounding and attacking them, and to keep an eye on the status of the reserve ships.

As time passed, the sky gradually changed from the deepest black to grayish white, and people's vision became clearer and clearer.

Since there is no fog on the sea, you can see the distant scenery from afar.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see that the sea in the distance was as calm as a mirror, without any waves.

As time passed, Mu Hongzhou gradually became impatient. She couldn't help but ask Ye Zifen, "Girl, do you think that your ferocious look scared them away? We've been waiting for a long time, but there's still no movement!"

Ye Zifen smiled and consoled them, "Don't worry, we need to give them some time to figure out how to fight back."

Mu Hongzhou frowned and asked, "Are you so sure they will come?"

Ye Zifen nodded and explained, "I have observed that the quality of the ships of those people just now is quite good, which means that people in other places may not have stopped their maritime trade activities over the years. Moreover, when those people first discovered our location, they were extremely excited. Why is that? Because they obviously have a certain status in this sea area. It can even be said that they have never failed, whether it is intercepting people or goods. As a result, such island residents are often prone to conceit. Therefore, they will definitely not give up easily. Let's be patient, anyway, the journey is already halfway through, maybe we can get more useful information from them!"

Mu Hongzhou laughed and scolded, "I really didn't expect that you, little girl, would actually covet things from the island."

Ye Zifen curled her lips and said, "It's obvious that they are not from Daxia. Why should we be afraid of them? Even if they are from Daxia, as pirates, we must be prepared to be wiped out by the imperial court at any time!"

Mu Hongzhou suddenly said: "I actually want to go to the pirates' base camp to take a look, but we are in a hurry this time."

Ye Zifen nodded, then shook her head and said, "If they have enough food, I don't mind turning back halfway. After all, we need a lot of food now. But you see there are so many islands nearby, there shouldn't be a shortage of food."

Mu Hongzhou said speechlessly: "Look at those islands, how many people are there, how much food is there? Besides, since they are pirates, they must have intercepted some valuable things."

Ye Zifen frowned and said, "But you also said that thieves never leave empty-handed. They also need to eat."

Mu Hongzhou...

The air became quiet again, and the two stood quietly on the deck, looking into the distance.

Time passed minute by minute, and after half an hour, some movement finally appeared in the distance.

I saw a dozen or twenty small boats slowly approaching from the distance, each boat was full of people. They seemed to be waving flags and shouting from afar, and their morale was high.

Ye Zifen and her crew have prepared barbed wire on their ship to prevent the enemy from climbing and damaging the hull.

However, when she looked closely at the other party's ships, she suddenly realized a problem - these people's small boats were too small compared to their large ships.

Ye Zifen couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that her previous worries might have been unnecessary.

When the enemy's ship was far away, they only saw a lonely ship on the sea, so they seemed a little careless.

But as they got closer and saw the huge size of their ship, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Especially the man who led the team this time, he began to have doubts in his heart, but as the leader, he did not show his inner uneasiness.

Ye Zifen looked at the enemy ship getting closer and closer, took a deep breath, and then took a few steps forward.

She raised her voice and asked loudly, "Who are you? Why did you bring so many boats here?"

After Ye Zifen finished shouting, the other party did not respond. Instead, she looked at her with strange eyes, obviously not understanding what she said.

She turned to the person behind her and said, "Go get a foreign-speaking teacher to help translate."

Mu Hongzhou nodded, turned around and went down the cabin.

Not long after, the master came to Ye Zifen.
