Just when everyone was on full alert, more than thirty short figures emerged from the woods not far away.

These people were wearing patched coarse cloth clothes and holding various weapons in their hands. They surrounded Wei Wu and his men.

To be honest, Wei Wu was not worried about any danger. After all, these people in front of him had no deterrent power.

Although they all held weapons in their hands, the so-called weapons were nothing more than sticks and farm tools.

Facing these people, Shen Lin and his men could deal with them all with hand-to-hand combat even without using automatic rifles.

But Wei Wu felt something was wrong. It was too much of a coincidence that he encountered this situation just after coming ashore!

With doubts in his heart, Wei Wu immediately thought of Utsunomiya Han who led them, and then turned around to look.

As expected, there was an obvious look of unnaturalness on Utsunomiya Han's face.

Seeing this, Wei Wu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said:

"Utsunomiya Han, you brought us ashore from here, and now this has happened, won't you explain it to me?"

Hearing Wei Wu's question, Yutsunomiya Han immediately knelt down in front of Wei Wu.

Originally, Wei Wu was wondering whether Yutsumiya Han would pretend to know nothing and then secretly do something to get away.

But he didn't expect that Yutsunomiya Han would actually kneel down in front of him.

Just when Wei Wu was confused, Utsunomiya Han also spoke up and gave his answer.

"Sir, please don't misunderstand me. Although I know these people, I didn't arrange this. I have always been on your ship!"

Looking at Yutsunomiya Han kneeling on the ground, Wei Wu had no expression on his face, and just asked lightly.

"Oh, really? Then explain to me why these people are waiting for me here with weapons as soon as we land?"

Seeing that Wei Wu did not directly order the action, Yutsumiya Han felt a little relieved, and then immediately explained:

"Sir, these people are my family and those of my companions. They are not here to wait for you, but to guard against pirates."

As soon as Yutsunomiya Han finished speaking, Zhang Hai beside him couldn't help but interrupt.

"Guarding against pirates? Do you believe that? We just landed and they showed up. Do they have to guard here every day?"

"Also, if they were on guard against pirates, why didn't they hide immediately when they saw us? Did they think their lives were too long and deliberately jumped out to get themselves killed?"

Hearing Zhang Hai's question, Yutsunomiya Han nodded and said:

"Your Excellency is right. This place is indeed guarded every day, so that approaching ships can be discovered earlier."

"You may not know this, but my hometown is in chaos right now. Many people who can't survive run to the sea and become pirates."

"These pirates not only plunder passing ships, but also spare no one living near the coast. They are so shameless!"

After hearing these words, Wei Wu had only one feeling in his heart, that is irony!

Utsunomiya Kan burned, killed and looted seven villages in the Ming Dynasty. He himself was burdened with blood debt, but he had the nerve to say that others were extremely shameless.

But on second thought, Utsunomiya Han went to other countries to plunder, while these pirates were plundering in their own country.

It’s no wonder that he despises those pirates so much. If you put yourself in his shoes, anyone would have the same idea as him.

Of course, what Yutsunomiya Han thinks is his business. In Wei Wu's eyes, he has long been a corpse.

Yutsunomiya Han didn't know what Wei Wu was thinking, he just anxiously explained the situation to them.

After his explanation, Wei Wu and the others finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Because of the war caused by the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, many Japanese pirates were unable to make a living and had to become pirates.

Utsunomiya Han and his companions are one of them. In fact, many of them are from the same village.

Later he pledged allegiance to a certain lord and became a samurai, but unfortunately the lord was short-lived and died early.

They could only return to their hometown as homeless vagrants, but as the situation became more and more chaotic, life became more and more difficult.

So these people gritted their teeth, gathered together and started a life of living on the edge of a knife. At the beginning, they only acted against the Japanese pirates.

But as time passed, business became increasingly difficult, so they turned their attention to the wealthy Ming Dynasty.

But the Japanese pirates' side was not safe, so they simply moved everyone to this more remote location.

Because the visibility here is good, any approaching ship can be detected immediately, so we can guard against pirates in advance.

After Yutsunomiya Han finished speaking, Wei Wu looked at the group of people. Although the light was dim, he could still see some.

Indeed, these people can basically be described as old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are only three or four who can be called young and strong.

At this moment, Utsunomiya Han's voice of explanation was heard again from the side.

"Sir, they didn't mean to offend you. They probably saw me with the others and thought I was being held hostage, so they wanted to rescue me."

Wei Wu glanced at Yutsumiya Han coldly, then said:

"I don't care what they want! That's your problem to solve."

After saying this, Wei Wu stopped looking at Yudumiya Han and turned to Shen Lin and said:

"Shen Lin, count to three. If they still have weapons in their hands after three counts, kill them all without leaving any alive."

After hearing Wei Wu's words, before Shen Lin even opened his mouth to count, Yutsumiya Han turned around and shouted like a madman.

He was shouting in the Japanese pirate language, and Wei Wu couldn't understand what he was saying, but he could see that those people's faces were full of confusion.

At this moment, Shen Lin also spoke.

"one!"

Hearing this, Yutsunomiya Han became even more anxious, and his tone became pleading and urgent.

But only some of the people on the opposite side dropped their weapons, and the rest were hesitant.

At this time, Shen Lin's voice sounded again.

"two!"

As soon as Shen Lin finished shouting "Two", Yutsunomiya Han burst into tears, fell to his knees and shouted frantically at those people.

Seeing this scene, those who were still hesitating immediately let go of their weapons, only one child was still holding on.

Judging from his age, the child is about nine years old, and what he is wearing cannot be called clothes.

The body was simply wrapped in a few pieces of rags, and you could even see the straw stuffed in the middle of the rags.

What surprised Wei Wu the most was that the child looked at them with an indescribable complexity in his eyes.

There is both kindness and defensiveness, expectation and fear. It is hard to imagine such a look in a child.

At the same time, Wei Wu also discovered one thing. When Yutsunomiya Han saw the child, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Just when he was full of doubts, the child suddenly spoke pure Chinese.

"Uncle, are you Han Chinese?"
