Wentang

Chapter 363 Island Crisis
An island near Baekje on the outskirts of the Yellow Sea.

Large nets are drying on the beach, where a group of women are repairing the damaged fishing nets, while several children are playing and playing, and smoke rises year after year in the distance.

It looks like a life in a paradise.

However, at the simple pier, a group of big men gathered around in frustration.

"There is no news from the head of the family, what should you say, fight or not." Hou San asked.

"What kind of fight? When the boss left, he told us repeatedly that we wouldn't let us have trouble." Said Bai Erniu, who was not at all in vain.

"Now it's not a question of whether we fight or not. Those Goguryeo dogs have all come to our door. The people who went fishing today were driven back by them, and Wang Sanshi was almost injured. If this continues, we will I'm going to starve to death on the island." Zhang Mang, a black-faced, bearded man, said angrily.

"This is really not the way, why don't we talk to the surnamed Pu and let him draw a path?" The thin monkey hesitated.

"I've already sent someone to ask, but he didn't see him at all." Hou San said helplessly.

"Then what does he mean?" Bai Erniu was also puzzled.

"Trying, the news that the head is not here must have spread, and the surname Park wants to take the opportunity to annex us. He is not much stronger than us, so he doesn't dare to attack us, so he wants to force us to fight. If we don't fight, we will be killed. Trapped on the island waiting for us to run out of food and surrender." Hou San analyzed.

"Isn't he afraid of delaying the return of the master?" asked the thin monkey.

"When the big boss comes back, he will take people away. We are not much different in strength, so we definitely don't dare to chase after him. The problem is that we only have enough food for five days, and we don't know when the big boss will come back." Hou Sandao.

"When the head of the family left, he clearly said that he would come back in ten days at the earliest and fifteen days at the latest. It has been 20 days since he hasn't come back, so nothing will happen." Zhang Mang scratched his head and said.

"Shut up." Hearing this, Bai Erniu and Shouhou shouted at the same time.

"Bah bah bah, everyone must be fine, don't talk nonsense." Bai Erniu said.

"Yes yes yes, I was wrong, the boss and they are definitely fine." Zhang Mang's old face flushed with shame, but his dark skin couldn't tell.

People living at sea are the most superstitious, and there are many taboos.If you dare to say unlucky words to people who go to sea, they can turn their faces on the spot, and maybe they will become enemies.

Hou San sighed, and said with a serious face: "But the head of the family has not come back for so long, how should we deal with the matter in front of us. We can't be stuck on the island if he doesn't come back, right?"

"What do you mean? Hou San, I have long seen that you are uneasy and kind, do you want to be the head of the family? I tell you to dream. I, Bai Erniu, will be the first to dissatisfy you." Bai Erniu patted the deck and stood up to drink scolded.

The others also looked at him suspiciously.

Hou San's face turned red, and he said angrily: "You, Bai Erniu, are you talking about loyalty? Everyone else is a villain? I, Hou San, swear here that if I am disloyal to the boss, I will die a terrible death."

After hearing such a poisonous oath, the doubts in everyone's eyes faded away. It's still the same sentence, people at sea take the most important oath.

On the contrary, Bai Erniu felt a little embarrassed, and said with a sneer, "Brother Hou, don't be angry, I'm not in a hurry. You don't remember villains, don't be as knowledgeable as me."

"Hmph, if I had the same knowledge as you, I would have been pissed off." Hearing the apology, Hou San turned pale.Then he said seriously:
"When the master left, hand over the island to me, and I will be responsible to the end. No matter what you think of me, I, Hou San, have a clear conscience."

"We listen to Brother Hou, and we will do what you say."

"Yes, Brother Hou, make up your mind."

"The head of the family said that brothers who are of one mind can cut gold, as long as we work together, there will be no difficulties we cannot overcome."

Hou San was moved and said: "Okay, since the brothers think highly of me, then I will be the master."

"Continue to go fishing tomorrow, and send two fast boats to follow. If the surnamed Pu sends someone over, he will fight if he can, and if he can't, he will run away. The others will take good guys and be ready to respond at any time."

"Okay, let's do that." Everyone said in unison.

Early the next morning, the people on the island organized people to go fishing again.Zhang Mang took seven or eight people with him in two fast boats for protection.

The fishing boat is composed of a small boat and three sampans, and has no long-distance sailing capability.It is said to go to sea, but in fact it means activities in the area around the island.

Sure enough, they came out for a while and cast a few nets, and two fast boats rowed over from a distance.When they got close, the two boats stopped suddenly, probably because Zhang Mang and others didn't dare to come up for a while.

When Zhang Mang and others saw these people, their eyes were red, and they taunted and cursed loudly at them.

Those Goguryeo people also cursed back in the distance, and after a while, both sides got angry.It is roughly equivalent to the Northeast people's "what are you worried about", "what are you doing about you", "believe it or not, I will beat you", "come and be afraid of whoever comes".

Then the two sides sailed towards each other and started fighting.

Zhang Mang was not ashamed of his name, he stabbed an enemy minion off the boat with one shot, seeing that he was dying.The opponent was not afraid, and brandished a weapon to kill them.

In a short while, seven or eight people from both sides were cut down. Zhang Mang's side was in better condition, only three fell down.

Seeing that the Goguryeo boat was at a disadvantage, Zhang Mang wanted to run away, and Zhang Mang killed him, shouting for chase.Fortunately, the people on the same boat with him remained awake and stopped him.

"Why don't you listen to me and chase after me, I can kill them all in a while and snatch their boat." Zhang Mang said angrily.

"Third Brother Hou said that it is impossible to pursue, and the sixth child is also injured and needs medical treatment. Go back quickly." The people on the same boat persuaded.

"Ah! Look at me, I forgot again." Only then did Zhang Mang come to his senses, and hurriedly went to see the wounded.Unfortunately, apart from the lightly wounded man, one of the two seriously wounded had already died, and the other was too seriously wounded to die.

Now they didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly rowed back.However, not long after they walked out, two fast boats rushed out from diagonally behind and stopped them.

The expressions of Zhang Mang and others changed, and they looked back subconsciously, only to see the shadows of several large ships appearing on the sea in the distance.

At this time, I don't know that the two fast boats just now were the bait released by the other party. Fortunately, they didn't chase after them, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Even so, now they will face big (base) trouble, how to get rid of these two Clippers.Once they are entangled by them, when the big ship behind them kills them, they will be in danger.

There are not many strong men on the island who can fight, if they are broken here, it is tantamount to breaking an arm.

"I'm pestering them, you go back and report." Zhang Mang immediately made a decision.

He drove a boat and took four people to stop the attack, while others drove another boat to take the wounded back to rescue soldiers.

At this critical moment, no one would yell something like 'I'll leave you back'. Every second counts, and there is no time to fight for these things.

After the agreement, Zhang Mang drove the boat to the enemy, while the other boat fled to the island.
