Time Travel: A Fisherwoman Goes to the Sea to Raise a Baby

Chapter 51 Don’t Call Me a Hero Anymore

"I'll go back home and take a look. You can enjoy your fishing."

Xu Yiyi stuffed the fishing rod back to his uncle. It was not fun at all. He had been squatting for so long but no fish was caught.

When my uncle lifted the fishing rod, he found that the bait had been eaten up.

Xu Yiyi has also run to her own vegetable garden.

My uncle and aunt come over every day to help them take care of the vegetable garden. The peppers have already sprouted, and I believe they will bear fruit soon.

Xu Pinghai helped his grandmother pick out the dung bucket and saw Xu Yiyi weeding.

"I've never seen you so diligent before. I don't know what's wrong with you, coming back every day."

Xu Pinghai curled his lips and put down the burden on his shoulders.

"You just didn't see me when I was diligent."

She naturally had to take good care of the pepper seeds that she had bought with great difficulty.

"Uncle Pinghai, why don't you go out to sea today? The weather is so nice."

"The government officials haven't let us go out for two days now."

They insisted on luring the pirates to the island and annihilating them all. They have been staying on the island for the past few days and have not left.

"What about those people with other surnames?"

With so many people walking on the island, someone must have noticed.

"The government officials have taken control."

Xu Yiyi was stunned for a moment. Wouldn't that alert the enemy?

Those pirates have been in such close contact with outsiders on the island for two days, they must have noticed something was wrong.

“I don’t think it will come in the short term.”

Xu Yiyi sounded very serious about it, but Xu Pinghai didn't think that was necessarily the case.

"You don't understand these pirates. They are absolutely daring. Their escape six years ago has only emboldened them. The imperial court's grain transport ships will pass by the island during this period, escorted by official ships and accompanied by many merchant ships.

The ship is loaded with valuables like grain, silk, spices, and porcelain. Selling them would bring them a fortune, enough to keep them well-fed for at least a year. So they're definitely going to make a move, but whether they'll try to seize our island is a little hard to say."

This island is strategically located right on the sea trade route.

Countless merchant ships and official ships passed through here.

It's normal for pirates to be thinking about it.

Coming out of the river, Xu Yiyi rowed the boat out to sea.

From a distance, you can see an official ship sailing slowly. The officials on the ship are not on guard and there are almost no people on board.

It’s not like the provincial capital, where there are constant patrol boats in the surrounding waters, and the boats are full of elite warriors. If you really encounter pirates, you can just go straight up and fight them.

Xu Yiyi was lying on the boat thinking. About seven nautical miles away from the island was a series of deserted islands with many reefs around them. Large ships could easily run aground. When she went out to sea for the first time, she had seen the island from a distance of about ten nautical miles.

The island looked deserted, with no humans seen, but there were plenty of seagulls.

Is there a possibility that the pirates are hiding there?

Xu Yiyi thought about it and realized that the pirates seemed to appear and disappear out of thin air, which was very confusing.

As I was thinking, I felt the boat start to move.

Xu Yiyi got up and saw a familiar-looking person pushing her boat in the water.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Yiyi pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed the man's neck without any hesitation.

"Please spare my life, my dear, please spare my life. I thought the boat was empty and wanted to push it back for my own use."

Xu Yiyi blinked, looking defenseless and innocent.

She remembered who this person was.

"I see. I'm sorry! I thought it was a pirate."

Xu Yiyi was very enthusiastic about pulling the person up, but after the person climbed up, he kicked him down.

The sharp dagger directly cut through the man's face, blood gushed out, and the surrounding sea water instantly turned red.

"Tell me how long it will take for your blood to attract sharks?"

Xu Yiyi asked very seriously, like a studious student.

The man panicked when he heard this and wanted to swim back to his boat.

"The island is under guard, and your movements should be restricted. Why did you come out?"

After Xu Yiyi arrived on the island, he also met one or two officials. Although they were wearing fishermen's clothes, their aura was completely different. They were all fat and big-eared, and white.

There are very few white fishermen on the island, and even Xu Yiyi thought he was the type that could never get tanned.

I was also slapped in the face.

It turns out that it’s not that you can’t get a tan, it’s just that you don’t get enough tan.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong. Although Xu Yiyi felt that these officers were just for show, at least there were people patrolling.

Being able to run out when there were people on patrol made it look even more suspicious.

"I just... I just thought it was a shame not to go out to sea when the weather was so good, so I took advantage of the officers not paying attention. Please let me on board! Otherwise, if a shark really comes..."

The man felt creepy, his feet suddenly became cold, and he began to sweat even when soaking in the water.

"You're not going to call me a hero anymore?"

……

"Stop yelling, stop yelling, let me come up!"

The man said and started to climb up.

Xu Yiyi kicked him down again.

"You can't come up even if I tell you. Tell me where the pirates are? If you tell me, I'll let you up, otherwise you'll be fed to the sharks."

After saying that, Xu Yiyi used a harpoon to push the man away, as if he was worried that a shark would come and get him hurt.

The man panicked and turned around to swim back to his boat.

He began to regret it now. He should have known he would not be greedy.

When he saw Xu Yiyi's new ship, he began to have bad thoughts, especially after seeing Xu Yiyi, he had even more thoughts.

He swam all the way here from his own boat, now he's in good shape.

Frightened by Xu Yiyi, his legs cramped while he was swimming and he started floundering on the water.

"Save me...I was wrong, please save me."

The man begged for mercy, but Xu Yiyi stood on the boat coldly and remained unmoved.

"Where are the pirates?"

Seeing that the man was about to sink, she was willing to let go.

"I'll tell you, you pull me up first."

After saying this, Xu Yiyi turned around and rowed the boat away.

……

"On the deserted island, I told you to save me."

The man struggled desperately in the cold sea water, his face was as pale as paper, and his lips gradually lost their color and turned purple.

Even though he had been pulled up by Xu Yiyi and tied to the boat, his eyes were still filled with fear and helplessness.

"I didn't think of this at first. They threatened me that if I didn't do what they said, I would die. I didn't want to do that. My son is only four years old. He's so young. If he gets targeted by the pirates, he'll definitely die."

The man came to his senses, curled up on the ground in pain, and gasped for breath.

I thought Xu Yiyi would be soft-hearted, but when I looked up I only saw her cold face.

"My youngest brother is only three months old. Does your son look innocent just because he's young? Doesn't my brother look innocent? He's colluding with pirates, and you've been wronged?"

When the harpoon came down, the man almost fell into the water in pain.

The next moment, he shut his mouth tightly, fearing that that sentence would make Xu Yiyi, the madman, unhappy again.
