Chu Xia followed him and looked around. The island was in the shape of a fan. They lived on it to prevent them from being washed away when the tide came in.

In addition to the pirates she had seen today, there were actually many women here, including young ones, old ones, and some playful children. They were all busy, some cooking, some

They were doing laundry, but when they saw her going up the mountain, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her blankly. There was curiosity, sympathy, and some hope in their eyes.

She thought that these women were probably snatched by them. The reason why they looked at her like this was because they thought that she was captured just like them.

"Were they all captured by you?" Chu Xia asked bluntly.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Qin Feng's face, and he said sheepishly: "Not all, some of them are our family members." Seeing Chu Xia's unhappy face, he didn't know why he felt uncomfortable, so he thought it was necessary to explain.

.

"Actually, we are not as bad as you think. We rob because we want to survive. You have also seen that there are so many people in our mountains. How can we survive if we don't rob? And those women, although we robbed them, but we

We didn't force them to do anything. Many of them are still perfect, but we can't let them go for fear that they will reveal the secrets here. There are also some who are moved by our true feelings and are willing to marry, so we also

It’s not an outrage.”

Chu Xia didn't expect him to have such an explanation. Could it be that they were forced to go to Liangshan in the legend?

She wanted to know more about the things here, maybe these people were not as bad as she imagined.

"How did you get here? Why do you want to be pirates?" Back in the room, Chu Xia sat down and continued to ask.

Qin Feng also knew everything, and he had a better impression of this girl, because she was not like the other women who were caught, who were all frightened and panicked, crying for their father and mother, but she was calm from the beginning to the end.

Very calm.

"Girl, you said you have shoes to wear, but who wants to go barefoot? Who doesn't want to live a good life, a peaceful life? But the world outside is so chaotic that no one can live at all. We also fled here and went on this journey in order to survive.

This way." Speaking of this, Qin Feng seemed helpless.

Sure enough, everyone has his or her own bitter history.

Chu Xia lived here. Apart from going to give Zhao Fei a few injections every day, he just wandered around. Giving Zhao Fei acupuncture was purely to make him suffer some physical pain. Every time he gave him acupuncture, he had to be grateful.

He thanked Chu Xia and treated her warmly. If he knew that all the hardships he suffered these days were in vain, would he be so angry that he would vomit blood?

Chu Xia was lively and cheerful, and quickly became familiar with the people here. Gradually, she also discovered that these so-called pirates were not as scary as hearsay, nor as hateful as she thought at first impression. In fact, they were all ordinary people.

We have suffered a lot here before. Some older people have been here for decades and have long been accustomed to the life here. Because there is no government jurisdiction here, they don't have to worry every day.

It's just that the climate here is much worse than that on land. Because it is an island, surrounded by the sea, the wind blows away with a fishy smell. Sometimes tornadoes blow and the waves are strong, which often collapse their houses and destroy them.

The things you worked so hard to grab are dashed away, and sometimes people's lives are even in danger.

On this day, Chu Xia brought Zhao Fei and Qin Feng together and talked about her thoughts. If these were really heinous people, not only would she not meddle in their own business, she would also notify the officials to eliminate them completely to avoid endless troubles.

.

But after getting to know them over the past few days, I found that they are all pitiful people. Especially after talking to the female relatives, no matter whether they were robbed or came willingly, no one is willing to be a pirate here for the rest of their life. Because it is so shameful.

to their ancestors and descendants.

"Do you want to be a pirate all your life?" Chu Xia asked straight to the point.

The two looked at each other in confusion, but shook their heads in unison.

"Although we don't want to be pirates for the rest of our lives, but we are already pirates, what else can we do?" Zhao Fei was a little annoyed. He was an official in the government at that time, but he accidentally injured someone when he was catching a prisoner. He begged

The adults helped him, but who knew that the corrupt official actually fell in love with his little sister and threatened him to make her his concubine. He would speak for him, otherwise he would be imprisoned for the rest of his life.

Zhao Fei, who was originally a bad-tempered person, thought that killing one person was a killing, and killing two people was also a killing. He must not implicate his sister, so he did it to the county magistrate. Then he contacted friends in the world and came here together.

On the island, he became a pirate. At the beginning, he didn't want to do it, so he stayed on the island. But later, he was really embarrassed to always use the fruits of others' lives in exchange for them, so he simply joined them. But this

After all, I was ashamed of my ancestors and had no choice but to survive. Qin Feng also studied for a few years. Later, because his family was poor, he went to sell illegal salt. As a result, he was wanted and finally came here.

Chu Xia didn't think they were treacherous and evil people. They just didn't meet a good opportunity, so they took the wrong path.

"Since you don't want to be a pirate, why don't you want to find other ways to survive? Instead of doing this kind of industry that makes people and gods angry?"

"Miss Chu, if we go to sea, what else can we do if we don't become pirates?" Zhao Fei asked naturally, as it seems that he should become a pirate at sea.

"Can we do business? Don't you know that there are a lot of treasures on your island? After processing, these can be sold on land for a lot of money, and you don't have to work hard to rob and be so dangerous. After all, it is harming others and yourself.

I always feel uneasy."

When the two people heard this, they looked at Chu Xia as if they had seen a ghost during the day, as if she had said something shocking.

"...Miss Chu, are you kidding?" After a long time, the first person to react was the second master Qin Feng, who asked in disbelief.

"Yes, what else is there besides rocks on our island?" The head master also reacted and said in surprise.

They are indeed fools begging for food with a golden rice bowl in hand. What can she say to them?

Chu Xia did not answer them, but took them to inspect and explain on the spot.

If these colored shells are processed and made into handicrafts, such as decorative curtains for wealthy families, they will not only be novel, but also beautiful, and will definitely fetch a good price. There are also ores and gems hidden in the stones, which can only be made after polishing.

, can also become a priceless treasure.

And in addition to these, they can salvage and sell products from the sea, such as corals, conches, fish, shrimps, etc. These inexhaustible resources alone can feed them for several lifetimes.

wore.

After listening to her explanation one by one, the two of them were enlightened. Looking at the things they had stepped on all day long, now they were treasures, their hearts almost jumped out of their chests. Could it be that they were pirates?

Is their career really coming to an end? Can they rely on their true skills to make a living?

After returning home, the two of them talked about it for a long time, and they all agreed that this Miss Chu was not simple, and neither her courage nor knowledge could match them. Even though she found resources for them and thought of a way out, they knew that without her

leaders, they still have to continue to hold the golden rice bowl and beg for food.

So after discussing it, the two decided to go find Chu Xia together.

Chu Xia felt that there was almost nothing she could do for them, and it was time to leave here. But she didn't expect that after the two came in, they knelt down to her without saying a word.

"What are you doing? If you have something to say, get up quickly." Chu Xia stepped forward to help them, but unexpectedly they were very persistent, as if they were fixed there, kneeling straight on the ground.

"Miss Chu, we have something to ask of each other. If you agree, we will get up. If you don't agree, we will never be able to kneel down." The attitude of the two of them was very firm.

"You are talking about detoxifying Boss Zhao, right? Haha, in fact, the poison has been detoxified. You don't have to worry. I just hope that you will never do anything harmful to nature in the future. It is not easy for anyone to live in this world. Just treat it as

To atone for oneself." Chu Xia thought that they must be here for detoxification. Naturally, she would not admit that these days of detoxification were just toying with him. She just said that his poison had been completely detoxified. She believed that she was treating them

With her understanding, they won't embarrass her anymore.

"That's not what we are talking about. I have done many evil things in my life and made so many mistakes. Even if I am poisoned to death, I will still deserve to die and I can't blame anyone." When Zhao Fei said these words, he was full of remorse. Looking back on the past, it was really

Extremely regretful.

Chu Xia was puzzled. If it wasn't this, what else was it? Could it be that... he really wanted her to stay and be his wife?

Thinking of this, my heart trembled, and I quickly took a few steps back to distance myself from them.

Qin Feng seemed to see what she was thinking, and said hurriedly: "Girl, don't get me wrong, you have helped us so much, we will not hurt you. It's just that we don't understand what you said, so we want to ask you to stay.

Help us."

"That's right, in order to show our sincerity, I am willing to give up the position of boss to you, girl. From now on, you will be the head of our house. Please, Miss Chu, please stay?" Zhao Fei also hurriedly expressed his feelings. They are really

He wanted to keep Miss Chu to help them, because only she could change the fate of them all.

After understanding what they meant, Chu Xia calmed down. In fact, she didn't know where to go now. It didn't matter to her where she stayed. If she could really change their fate, it would be considered a great achievement of hers.
