Chapter 10 Want Money for Life

Obviously, Liu Shipowner's decision was still a little late. Yu Xiaotian lay on the side of the ship and saw that the pirate ship was only more than a miles away from them. He could almost see the faces of the ship.

From afar, you can see that the pirate ship is full of black people. The pirate's ship is not big, but there must be at least 20 or 30 people on the ship. In terms of the number of pirates, the number of pirates has more than twice as many people on their ship, and each of them seems to hold a variety of weapons in their hands. Obviously, it is obvious that the other party The combat effectiveness is much better than their ship.

Yu Xiaotian looked far away and observed the pirates, but after looking at the clothes of these pirates, Yu Xiaotian had a sense of being ironic. These pirates obviously did not know any aesthetics, let alone the sense of unified clothing. Some people wore ordinary rags and rotten clothes, while others were dressed in brocade robes, but light With two hairy thighs, several pirates are actually wearing clothes that look like women, dressed like singing, which is really ridiculous. In short, their clothes are obviously something to wear. As for whether they look good or not, it is not their concern.

The pirates saw that the two ships were getting closer and closer, and their interest also rose. They lay on the side of the ship, waved the variety of weapons in their hands, and shouted on the pirate ship far away. The sound was quite scary, as if they had eaten the ship.

With the turning of the Liu family's ship, the pirate ship was originally behind the left of the Liu family's ship, and at the same time began to quickly adjust the sails and turn the rudder. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it took the opportunity to cut into the left side of their ship. In this way, it narrowed the distance with the ship where Yu Xiaotian was located in a short time, plus Shanghai The stolen ship was originally faster. In a short time, the pirate ship approached about 300 meters from the Liu family's ship, and the curses and threats of the pirates could be clearly transmitted to their ships.

"Wait for you to listen! Hurry up and stop the boat. I don't want to make money. As long as the goods don't kill people, you can't escape! Let's stop the boat! If you wait for a toast, don't eat a penalty wine, and if you dare not listen, be careful that the old men will catch up with you for a while, and you will definitely kill a chicken and dog! ..." The loud pirate pulled a broken gong-like voice and began to roar at the Liu family ship.

The people on the Liu family's ship are a little panicked. At this time, they are still quite far from the coast. They are sure to run away today, but once the sails are stopped, the fate will be completely in the hands of these pirates. The owner surnamed Liu is distressed by the goods on his ship and thought about it a little. After that, he crossed his heart, bit his teeth, stood at the stern of the ship, put his hand to his mouth, and shouted at the pirate ship that caught up, "I don't know what the way he is!" On the way through this place, I don't know that the good men are working here and can't make some points in advance. I hope you can forgive me!

We are a small business, and it's not easy to make a living. Today, I'm sorry to trouble you. I have prepared fifty taels of silver. I'd like to invite you guys to drink a glass of water and wine. I hope the good men will raise their hands. How about putting them on the next journey?

Yu Xiaotian listened to the cry of the ship owner surnamed Liu, and his heart was both angry and funny. He secretly said that there was such a thing on the sea. When he met pirates, he could actually negotiate and pay for the road!

In fact, Yu Xiaotian doesn't know that this kind of thing is actually very common in this era. In fact, pirates are not necessarily extremely vicious people. Many of them are forced to make a living and go to the sea to steal. Generally, as long as they don't meet extremely vicious people, pirates will not kill more goods. More often, they don't If you want to try your best to force the people who were robbed of the merchant ship and resist desperately. You know, once you come to rob the ship, the merchant ship will generally not give it for nothing. It has a certain resistance. After the real fight, it is inevitable that the pirate side will also be damaged. This life is their own, and everyone wants to live for a few more days.

So under normal circumstances, if the owner of the chased merchant ship takes the initiative to show weakness and is willing to give some money to the pirates as money to buy the road, the pirates are generally willing to take the money and leave. This is a happy thing for both sides. Pirates can get a certain amount of money without taking greater risks, while the ship owner Then it can also save the ship's goods and life, so the ship owner Liu just proposed to buy a road with fifty taels of silver and ask the pirates to take the money to leave, which is not a whimsical, but a practice.

But the answer of the pirates who chased him next completely disappointed Liu Shipowner, and only heard some of the pirates roaring loudly: "I am the third master of the sea hurry! Today, I chased you with my brothers for more than half a day, and you mother wanted to send me 50 taels of silver! Can't you treat me as a begling?

Don't talk nonsense. I'm in a good mood today. If I don't kill you, I'll just leave your life as long as your ship and goods! If you don't stop the boat, don't blame me for being rude to you! After a while, I'm sure to kill all of them!"

Such an answer is equivalent to announcing the breakdown of the negotiations. The pirates have made their attitude clear, that is, they are determined to carry the goods with the ship. The previous condition of buying a road with fifty taels of silver proposed by the ship owner Liu seems to be unable to satisfy their appetite at all. Next, for the ship owner Liu, there are only two ways to choose from, one According to the requirements of the pirates, they stopped the ship, let them take it away with the ship and goods, and then admitted that they were unlucky and left their lives to be put on the nearest shore by the pirates to go home!

The other way is that you can only fight hard and fight with them. Once you are lucky, you can turn over a few of them after the battle, deter them, and make them retreat and give up automatically. Then this is equivalent to winning this game today, and they can take the goods away with the ship without losing the cargo! But another consequence of this is that once they do this and can't stop the pirates, the pirates will forcibly attack the ship and kill all the people on their ship.

After hearing the pirate's answer, the whole ship's people immediately turned their eyes to Liu Shipowner. Now it depends on Liu Shipowner's opinion. To be honest, the people on the ship do not want to be hard. This ship is not theirs, only their lives. If they surrender to the pirates, it will be damaged. The loss of the shipowner has little to do with them. At worst, it's useless to run this trip, but at least his life can be basically saved.

But once Liu Shipowner decides to be tough, he can't fight with pirates, but he can't protect him from his eyes and lose his life. Fortunately, once he loses, everyone will be finished! Therefore, the boatmen on the ship are very willing to make a soft egg at this time, stop the ship and surrender to make money and eliminate disasters.

After listening to the pirate's answer, the ship owner's face became much worse. He gritted his teeth and hesitated for a moment. His eyes turned around and his expression was very painful. After carefully looking at the pirate ship he caught up with him, he suddenly gritted his teeth and his face began to become a little ferocious, as if I made up my mind.

He turned his head and stretched out his hand to take out a single knife, clenched it tightly in his hand, and scolded the pirates with a pale face: "Bah! Shameless things are too bullying! I'm not a muddy man. You earth turtles can do whatever you want?

Brothers, we don't believe this evil today! Leave them alone, let's keep going! There are cannons and guns on our ship. Can we be afraid of these local turtles? If they dare to lean up, they will bombard them to death! Ma Biao, set up the cannon. After a while, they dared to come up and bombard Yu Yu fiercely!

Liu treats you well on weekdays. Today is the time to use you. As long as I can rush over today, I, Liu, will definitely not treat you badly! Fifty taels of silver Liu was put here, and everyone divided it after it was done! It's better than cheaply these bastards!"

After hearing this, all the people on the ship looked very ugly. What they expected was still failed. At this time, it seems that the boss Liu is a bastard who eats the weight. He is determined to keep the ship and goods and force them to fight with the pirates. Although they are reluctant, there is nothing they can do. Who will be hired by Liu Zhang? Cabinet, do you have to follow other people's orders for everything?

But fortunately, this surnamed Liu is still interesting. He hung 50 taels of silver in advance, which shows that once he can rush over today, he originally planned to buy the 50 taels of silver, and let the people on the ship share it. In this way, in addition to the one or two silver he promised at first, after everything is done, he can still There are a wide range of silver to take, which also mobilized some of their morale.

There must be a brave man under the reward. After listening to this, Ma Biao immediately gritted his teeth and agreed, hurriedly greeted several men, moved the bowl mouth of the stern of the ship, adjusted the mouth of the barn, and always aimed at the pirate ship that was gradually chasing.

Yu Xiaotian cursed again in his heart. There is a saying in the world that people die for money and birds for food. Liu Chuandong is a sea merchant. He regards this ship as heavier than his life. He must not give up relying on the ship that made a fortune. Today, it is clear that he wants to gamble. For him, this is not a good thing. He just A passer-by really can't work hard for Liu, but the present situation is that he can't help it and has to do it. If he doesn't do it, he has to do it! Liu Shipowner refused to surrender, and there was nothing he could do! What bad luck has happened to him! Today, I guess he will fight for his life!

When he saw Ma Biao and they began to fiddle with the bowl mouth of the stern of the ship, he subconsciously began to lower his body and move towards the middle of the boat, trying to stay away from the mouth of the door. God knows that if this thing is opened, it will explode on the spot. He is still young, but he doesn't want to fight for this immediately. Liu Chuandong, who is not very good, is a martyr, so it's safer to stay away.

Just as everyone was paying attention to the pirate ship behind, Liu Laoliu didn't know when he came to Yu Xiaotian's side and quietly pulled Yu Xiaotian.

(The collection is really not good these two days! Brothers, who still has red tickets? Stay! How about ordering the collection if you don't have it? It's a cold wind for everyone! Please! Ha ha!)
