When the six people returned to the ferry, they saw Yin Yusheng standing on the ferry, looking in the direction they came from.

"Brother Yusheng, we are back."

"You are finally back." Yin Yusheng breathed a sigh of relief, as if a stone had fallen from his chest. "It's the end of the 3:00 p.m. You have been up there for more than an hour. If you don't come out, I will go to the island to find you." Seeing them come back, Yin Yusheng quickly jumped onto the boat, waited for them to get on the boat, and quickly sailed away from here.

When the boat sailed far away, he turned around and found that there was a strange man in his thirties among the returning crowd.

"Who is he?" Yin Yusheng stared at him and asked.

"He was the cook on the island. He said that the King of Lingnan colluded with the Japanese to monitor Doctor Chu. Now everyone on the island is dead. We brought him out and used him as a witness to overthrow the King of Lingnan." Tang Zhongbai said.

"Oh."

"How are the Lin family father and son? Are they still making trouble?"

"When they saw you guys came to the island, they stopped making trouble, but they didn't talk either. Maybe they accepted their fate?" Yin Yusheng hoisted the sail, stood on the edge of the deck, and looked into the distance.

"I'll go take a look." Tang Zhongbai entered the cabin.

Jiang Muxia placed the food she brought from the island on the small table on the side of the cabin and said softly, "Brother Yusheng, come and have something to eat."

Around the hour of Xu, they will reach the large barge, and by then, who knows what kind of fierce battle is waiting for them.

Yin Yusheng asked them to take advantage of this period of time to rest.

He asked Lin Xiaoyu to fetch sea water, wash their blood-stained clothes, and hang them on ropes on the deck to dry. When they woke up, the clothes were dried by the sea breeze.

There were only Yin Yusheng and Lin Xiaoyu on the deck. They kept an eye on the wind direction and adjusted the sails.

The wind was not strong at sea, so the boat sailed smoothly. Yin Yusheng stood on the deck and occasionally saw fish swimming in the sea. Some large fish would follow their boat.

Yin Yusheng couldn't help but sigh that if this sea area was open to fishermen, they would definitely have a great harvest.

He looked at Lin Xiaoyu who was sitting under the sail and started to chat with him for no apparent reason.

"Little fish, if there is no one to stop you from fishing in this sea area, I guarantee you will return with a full load every day, and your life will get better and better."

Lin Xiaoyu didn't even raise his head, and said in a muffled voice: "It's not that easy. I came here once with my father when I was a child. I was almost beaten to death by the people on the big barge, and I never dared to come again since then. Several families in our village have disappeared since they came here to fish. I don't know whether they are dead or alive. I just want to live an ordinary life, as long as I have something to eat, take care of my father and live our own lives, and not be bullied."

"I heard that the reason they bullied you was because your father caught a lot of fish every time, but he didn't want to tell the villagers where he fished, so..."

"This aspect only accounts for a small part. The most important thing is that I have a small family and I am not good-looking. They think we are not worthy of each other. They rely on the power of others, and we are kind and are bullied." Lin Xiaoyu lay down, looked up at the blue sky and sighed.

Yin Yusheng glanced at him and said nothing more.

The boat was moving forward quickly on the sea. There were seabirds flying in the air. The braver ones landed on the roof of the boat, cried "ah ah" a few times, then spread their wings and flew into the sky. Then they flew into the sea with their mouths stretched out. When their mouths emerged from the sea, there was a lively little fish.

Yin Yusheng raised his lips and sighed in his heart, what a beautiful picture.

But think about it the other way around, isn't this bird a powerful person? The little fish in the sea are swimming carefree in their own territory, and they don't provoke anyone. But even so, they are still caught by stronger species and become their food.

The little fish had no one to turn to for justice; he had no one to turn to, so he could only pray to be reborn as a powerful animal in his next life.

But who knows, a weak fish in this life that can easily become food for others, after being reborn as a powerful animal, will not become like the birds that eat it, and eat animals weaker than it everywhere?

This is the law of the jungle among animals, but compared to them, humans even kill each other's own kind, which is even worse than animals.

As the ship moved forward, the orange sunset gradually rose at the end of the sea level. As time passed, it became more and more golden and beautiful.

Evening was approaching and the faint shadow of a large barge could already be seen parked in the distance.

Yin Yusheng stood up and entered the cabin, waking up everyone who was still sleeping.

"It's the hour of Xu. Hurry up and eat something and get ready for the battle."

Tang Si turned over, stretched, and snorted, "Got it."

Yin Yusheng took the dry food they brought to the deck, put it on the table, and brewed some tea.

Tang Zhongbai was the first to come out of the cabin. He stood on the deck and looked at the sky. "Tonight is a full moon night. If everything goes well, we can land on the island before it gets dark."

Yin Yusheng was not as optimistic as he was. Jiang Hongxin told him in detail everything that happened on the island.

Both girls were injured to varying degrees. Jiang Muxia even vomited blood. She must have injured her heart and lungs. How could she still join in the fierce fight?

"Muxia and Hongxin are injured, you know." Although Yin Yusheng's tone was calm, he was angry in his heart. This man didn't care about Jiang Muxia's health at all. She was injured while saving him. How could he not ask about her injuries.

"Brother Yusheng, I've rested enough and I'm fine now." Jiang Muxia and Jiang Hongxin walked out of the cabin and said with a smile.

She also felt strange in her heart. When she woke up, her chest pain was gone and she felt much more relaxed. She attributed all the credit to the pill that Jiang Hongxin asked her to take in advance, and thanked Jiang Hongxin immediately.

"I also want to thank Sister Hongxin for giving me the pill that helped me recover so quickly."

At this moment, the cabin door rang and Zhang Yi came out of the cabin. He was startled when he heard her words, then immediately shook his head, walked to the other side of the deck with a smile, spread his arms and yawned, and shouted loudly into the air, "Shu Chang."

Seeing her rosy face, Yin Yusheng said nothing more.

Although Jiang Hongxin didn't say anything, she was worried. She had taken this pill many times, but she knew it didn't have such a miraculous effect.

But this time, even she felt it. Her body recovered faster than before, and she felt as comfortable as if a long drought had finally brought her some rain.

Precisely because she couldn't figure it out, she remained silent.

"Look, the big barge is getting closer."

It was so close that they could see the Japanese patrolling in strange clothes on the boats. They could all see the people on the boats, so they would definitely be able to see them. I'm afraid the Japanese have already reported this to their leader, and they will attack them as soon as their boats approach.

"We'll be there soon, everyone get ready."

Lin Dahai stood at the door of the cabin with a dead look on his face. "I told you guys you're here to die. How can you do anything to them with just a few of you? My father and I are going to die in your hands today."

Tang Si glared at him, "Sir, what should we do with these three people?"

"We'll take it to the big barge later."

"Dad, I won't go." Lin Xiaoyu stepped back repeatedly, shouting in horror.

This time Lin Dahai did not scold him. He sighed and said, "Son, it's not a question of whether we go or not. We have no choice." He seemed to have already determined that he would die here today, and his mentality became calm instead.

But Yin Yusheng, who had been staring at him, clearly saw a glimmer of expectation flash across his eyes.

When the boat was one nautical mile away from the large barge, Tang Zhongbai stood on the deck and shouted to the people on the barge, "Brothers on the boat, please inform them that I have something important to tell your leader."

I saw two patrolling minions on the big barge whispering to each other, and then one of them hurried away, and the other shouted back to him in broken Mandarin, "Wait a moment."

Their boat was still moving forward, and when they replied, the small boat had already arrived next to the large barge. Yin Yusheng retracted the sail and the boat stopped.

Soon, the minions who reported the incident came running over and shouted to them, "The master wants you to come up."

A rope was lowered from the large barge, and everyone on the small boat was waiting to get on board. Before they could stand still, more than 30 people rushed up with long knives in their hands and surrounded them.
