Shen Yuanqing's face immediately turned red. Why did the elder sister still love to pinch his face like before? Since leaving Beijing, he felt that the elder sister was like a different person, and he didn't dare to get close to her. Now she suddenly pinched his face, although it was very embarrassing, but he actually felt very kind.

"Big brother, I'm already a big boy and I can't let anyone pinch my face." Shen Yuanqing was still struggling.

Shen Lanxi let go of her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, you are a big kid now. I don't know which big kid wet the bed the day before I got married."

Shen Yuanqing's face flushed again, and he angrily said, "I didn't!"

Hearing the elder sister teasing her younger brother in a relaxed tone, Shen Yuanjing's tone also became a lot lighter.

"How could it be? Weren't you afraid that others would find out, so you secretly poured tea on it? As a result, you accidentally poured a full pot of tea on it, and the tea was taken away from my room!"

Shen Yuanqing's face suddenly turned red and burned to the touch.

"I won't pay any attention to you!" He took his short legs and turned around and ran away in anger!

Shen Lanxi straightened her expression and gathered her thoughts: "Let's practice martial arts!"

The Wei family army was training on the second-floor deck, with each punch and move being powerful. Shen Yuanjing and his siblings followed behind them to practice martial arts together.

The exiled prisoners who were sea fishing on the first floor would occasionally peek at the second floor.

The Shen family also came out from the bottom of the cabin. If they stayed there any longer, they would be beaten to death by other prisoners. In addition, there was a sour smell in the cabin, and no one cleaned up the vomit. If they stayed there any longer, they would either get sick from the smoke or die of nausea.

"Why can't I see Lan Xi?" Liu muttered in a low voice.

"Master, do you think Lan Xi has gone to the ship behind?"

Shen Conglian didn't care much and said, "Who knows? If you have time to care about others, why don't you think about how to catch the fish?"

Liu curled her lips and cursed Shen Conglian in her heart, calling him a big fool, then went to look for her son.

"Grandma, we are all exposed to the wind and sun here, why doesn't big sister come to help us?" Shen Yuanruan approached Old Lady Shen and said.

Old Madam Shen frowned and raised her hand to slap her.

"Shut up, you have no right to speak here."

Shen Yuanruan's face turned pale with fright and he shrank back and hid behind.

"Useless idiot, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You have done something shameful and ugly, so just behave yourself. When we get to Dongchuan, I will show you how I will deal with you!" Old Madam Shen glared in the direction of Shen Yuanruan viciously.

"Second daughter-in-law, go get me a basin of water so I can wash up!"

"Third wife, wash my clothes, shoes and socks."

"Fourth wife, go to the bottom of the cabin and clean out our resting place!"

"You are useless as shits, you only know how to pester men and make trouble. If you hinder the men from fishing, I will show you how I will deal with you!"

Old Madam Shen used the same skills she had used to quarrel with the village women in the countryside many years ago and scolded all three daughters-in-law!

Liu, Miao and Tian were all angry but dared not say anything. They quickly went to clean up the mess!

Old Madam Shen glanced at the martial arts practice area on the second floor. She saw the Liu family robbing the fishing gear of the eldest wife's children. Don't blame her for not speaking up. The eldest wife still has Lan Xi. Even if others starve to death, they will not starve to death.

Unlike the other three families, they can only rely on themselves to fight for food.

It was the kids' fault for not being able to keep the things in their hands, so they were snatched away by others. When she gets to Dongchuan, she will fill in more for the eldest room!

Sea fishing is not an easy task. At night, only a few people with fishing experience had a delicious meal.

Others could only watch helplessly.

Liu Yanhui discussed with Wei Dongzhu for an entire afternoon and decided on the people who would go to Tongluo Island. They also formulated a reward system based on merit.

During meal time, the yamen runners read it to the prisoners!

On the surface, the people on the two ships all listen to Liu Lao Hu, and whenever they want to release any content, they have to invite Liu Lao Hu to come and keep order.

"If we go one or two days ahead, we will reach the Jiaodong Islands. Pirates and pirates are rampant there. Every passing ship has been robbed!"

The prisoners looked at the bailiff eagerly, not understanding why he said this at this time.

"There are two options now. One is to take the land route. But now there is a plague on the land route and the refugees are rioting. Once we reach the shore, it will be a dead end!"

When the prisoners heard the words "plague and riot", they were all in an uproar.

"There is another way. We can continue to take the water route. If we encounter pirates, we can fight them to the death and still have a chance of survival!"

The noisy prisoners all fell silent.

Risking their lives? How? They were all flesh and blood, not shields. If they fought with those ruthless pirates, they would only get stabbed.

The bailiff continued, "Mr. Liu has given us a good idea. Let Mr. Liu tell us about it." It was okay to let him escort the prisoner, but it was really difficult for him to tell this. If he didn't stop, he would stutter.

Liu Yanhui unfolded the rice paper and pasted it on the deck.

"We have killed bandits and fought refugees along the way. We have a lot of experience in fighting!"

"Mountain bandits are bandits, sea bandits are also bandits. If mountain bandits can be killed, sea bandits can be killed as well!"

The prisoners' eyes widened!

Liu Yanhui told him about his plan to lead a sheep into a tiger's mouth, and then pointed at the rice paper with a bamboo stick and said, "Kill one pirate and you will get a reward of one ounce of silver!"

The bamboo sticks went down a row.

"All the spoils belong to you personally! You don't have to hand them in!"

The bamboo stick continues to go down

"Kill a small pirate leader and you'll get 20 taels of silver. Kill a big leader and you'll get 50 taels of silver. And so on, the bigger the leader, the more silver you'll get. If anyone has the ability to kill the pirate leader, there'll be a 1,000 tael reward!"

"I can kill!"

The prisoners all turned around and looked at Madam Song who was shouting.

"What are you looking at? I used to be a butcher!"

Prisoners: “…” He is a ruthless person!

Liu Yanhui smiled and said, "All those who want to join the battle, please sign up here. The food on the ship for the next two days can be bought on credit. Once we kill the pirates, we can use the money to offset the loss!"

A few prisoners became more interested, but they were not good at fishing. After fishing for a whole day, they didn't catch any seaweed.

"I signed up to fight."

"I'll sign up too!"

"Mr. Liu, I've signed up, can I go to the kitchen to get food?"

……

Liu Yan replied: "Sure!"

At one time, more than half of the people signed up, and Madam Song was the first to sign up.

Liu Yanhui, who had been quite critical of Madam Song along the way, began to look at her with a new respect.

The Shen family is still discussing it.

"Father, I still owe you ten taels of silver. My fishing rod was snatched away today. If I don't join the battle, when will I be able to pay back the ten taels?" He used to have to pay dozens of taels for each visit to the teahouse, but now he has to bow down for ten taels of silver!

Shen Congwen looked worried: "Yuan Jing, you know that pirates kill without blinking an eye. Even the imperial court can't do anything to them. If you go, you will die!"
