This is not difficult to find, because among the islands, the capacity of the ship is always huge, compared to the number of people who need to take a boat, so you can see people on the ship attracting passengers at every port.

These ships are often cargo ships, so no place is reserved for passengers, so people who take the boat often have to stay on the deck. The good news is that the deck is large and spacious, and the side of the ship and the cargo pile are relatively windproof, so it will not be too uncomfortable.

Every boat is very enthusiastic about carrying passengers on the way to get cargo. After all, the cargo hold capacity of the ship is fixed. In this case, every extra person is loaded with one more person. Anyway, the customer who will take the boat does not have high requirements, and the journey is often not long, and no one will refuse the extra income.

"Customer, is it easy to negotiate the price!"

Seeing Fang Chang coming, two or three people came to recruit him.

Everyone came with their sleeves rolled up and their arms slightly opened, revealing their arms and necks that were bronzed by the sunlight at the sea. They should be the temporary guest appearance of the sailors on the boat.

Their words are very much aware of the needs of travelers among the archipelago. After all, for the East China Sea Islands, which are generally poor, most of them care more about the price of ship tickets than others such as comfort. Moreover, those rich people often have their own boats, and no one will choose these ferries.

"Who is heading eastward? The earlier you set out, the better. I am the only one." Fang Chang said.

The people on the other side looked at each other a few times. It was obvious that they knew their respective itineraries and departure times, so only one sailor stayed, and the rest stepped back a few steps and scattered to ask the others on the dock.

The sailor left behind smiled and took Fang Chang on the boat, and at the same time he did not forget to collect a few copper coins.

He took Fang Chang to the deck and instructed: "You can stay here, the cabin is locked and cannot be taken down."

"What should I do if it rains?" Fang Chang asked curiously.

"This... I'm not afraid when it rains. There are plenty of straw raincoats on the boat, enough for each person to have one set."

“Okay.”

Fang Chang nodded and walked onto the deck.

At this time, there were already many passengers on the ship, and their identities were different depending on their clothes.

Although there are no rich and noble families, they have a very different look. Some support the elderly and the young, while others are alone, and their ages are from young to young. However, now everyone is curled up on the deck, looking for a seat to sit, chatting with each other, or busy with their own affairs.

As the departure time approached, the sailors on the shore returned to the ship one by one. After the captain confirmed the number of heads of the people, he issued an order to set sail.

"Drive - the ship - it's right!"

With a few loud shouts, the sailors on the boat untied the cables and pulled the ropes and raised the sails together.

The boat left this small port, slowly accelerated, and rolled the water toward the sun. There was no blockage on the sea. Although the sun was bright, it was not very big. The shimmering sea surface in front was coated with a layer of constantly flashing golden light, which looked very beautiful.

It took about two hours to go, and it was a little bored along the way.

The people on the deck had long started chatting with each other and chatting about irrelevant things. Some bragged about each other, and some talked about their family matters. Anyway, they were just chance meeting each other and they never met each other again after getting off the ship, so they were even more relaxed.

Fang Chang had long noticed that some people ignored other people's chats.

Most of them are young and strong, and they are approaching each other with their faces calmly, and they are all carrying luggage.

A little moved in his heart, and he already knew what was going on. Fang Chang smiled slightly, waiting for the follow-up development of things.

One of the passengers seemed to be the leader of the group. He looked at the sky and estimated the distance, suddenly reached into his mouth and whistled.

"Do it!"

The group of people suddenly shouted, and then pulled out various weapons, short knives, daggers, and spurts from their luggage, which were light weapons that were more suitable for water, and then rushed towards the surroundings.

The leader even shouted at the surroundings:

"I am Hong Lao San from Fengyuan Island, and you will not die yet!"

With this shout, many sailors who were about to resist had their feet weakened and wanted to surrender and beg for mercy. The passengers around them were even more unbearable. Many weak men had already wet their lower clothes and dripped. Only the owner of the ship was angry, but he cursed loudly with some weakness:

"Thief!!!"

The sailors' resistance was quickly lifted, and even the owner of the ship was quickly pressed to the ground and tied up with a belt.

During this process, no one died, only a few sailors were injured, so Fang Chang, who was ready to go, never took action.

Seeing that the situation was controlled, the bandit leader was in high spirits and walked around the deck, ready to speak.

Suddenly, he saw the long sword behind Fang Chang and frowned.

Seeing this, the bandits around immediately surrounded him and pointed the weapon at the man in white who seemed to be threatening. Fang Chang smiled, slowly took off the Lingquan sword behind him with one hand, placed it on the ground in front of him and took a step back. So the bandits breathed a sigh of relief and put the weapon slightly down.

"Haha, I believe you already know my name, Hong Lao San from Fengyuan Island."

"After planning for a long time, we finally got a single ship. Now, you and this cargo are all my... trophy, yes, trophy!"

"Don't worry, I'm not an unreasonable person. The young and beautiful ones stayed, and the rest of the money they had left, and they would keep you alive! Those who refused to follow the rules directly cut off the wood and threw it into the water. Those who were honest and obedient, cut the wood for you to go into the sea by yourself, and you can survive by swimming."

"Ah, everyone has wood, it's not that easy to sink. This is still a waterway. Maybe you will encounter other ships? Don't say that I'm not generous enough. I, Hong Laosan, are a well-known kind person among the pirates. See if I think about you more, hahahahaha..."

Apart from the owner of the ship who was tied up and blocked the mouth, the deck was very quiet for a moment, leaving only the arrogant voice of the bandit leader.

Finally someone couldn't hold back, but he was a young man. He stood up suddenly.

Without waiting for the young man to speak, Hong Laosan suddenly showed a cat-playing look in a mouse. He looked at the young man and patted his hands gently:

"Okay! There's a kind of thing! The situation is even more interesting."

"I, Hong Laosan, like people like you. It's really sad not to meet two of them every time. Come on, give him weapons, we will compete with each other. If you win, you will give you the boat. If you lose, you will be cut into pieces and thrown into the water."

After the words came, a bandit next to him took a large ring knife and put it in the hands of the bandit leader. He took out a small knife that was only two inches long and threw it to the young man, and then burst into laughter together.

The bandit leader moved his muscles and bones on his body and said with a grin: "Come on, young man."
