Shengjing Noble

Chapter 570 Dependence on each other

However, they never expected that after Yuanlongyan was sealed, people from outside broke in, and they were a group of pirates.

They burned, killed and looted, and soon occupied the island and renamed it Pirate Island.

In order to save their lives, the islanders were forced to retreat to the west side of the island, where Su Lanyin was located.

However, the pirates did not let them go and demanded that every household and every person hand over money on time, otherwise they would be killed.

In order to make money, the islanders had no choice but to go out to sea to fish, but the nearby waters had already been occupied by pirates.

They can only go fishing near Yuanlongyan, which is extremely risky.

Over the years, many islanders died in that dark sea, and the children they left behind were taken in by Ahai and Ayue.

The couple grew up together and their bond is stronger than gold.

Ah Hai went out to sea to fish, while Ah Yue stayed at home to take care of the children. Every time they parted, they cherished it as if it were the last time.

Therefore, every time Ah Hai came back safely, Ah Yue was very happy and made the best seafood porridge for him.

While he was fishing today, he happened to see Su Lanyin floating on the water, so he rescued her.

After understanding the whole story, Su Lanyin was surprised: "So, you have never been out of this sea?"

"Well, Ah Hai still goes to the sea, but I haven't even left this island."

"Why don't you try to escape?"

"Not to mention that the Pirate Island is surrounded by pirates. Even if we want to escape, we don't have a suitable boat. Ah Hai only has a small fishing boat, which can't reach Yuanlongyan at all."

"Then have you ever thought about resisting pirates?" Su Lanyin asked.

"Not only did we think about it, our ancestors also did it, but unfortunately... the island originally had tens of thousands of people, but only a few thousand people were left after being killed..."

Speaking of this, A Yue couldn't help but shed tears.

"My parents and Ahai's parents died in that resistance war, and Ahai's eldest brother died while fishing... Now, only he and I are left in our two families..."

Su Lanyin comforted him, "Don't be afraid, maybe there will be a day when you can see the light of day again."

"Thank you, but that day is too far away."

On the surface, A Yue seems cheerful and loves to laugh, but at this moment, her face is filled with sadness, despair and loss, and she can't even muster a ripple.

It's like a person who has no desire to survive and just lives for the sake of living.

"Ayue, you have to believe that day will come."

"Well, I believe that even if I can't see it, I hope the children that Ah Hai and I raised can see it!"

"Oh, right." Ah Yue suddenly asked. "You really don't remember where you came from?"

"I...I should have come from outside, but I can't remember clearly."

"Outside? Do you remember what the world outside looks like? I have never seen it..." A Yue looked at her expectantly.

Su Lanyin tried hard to recall, but her mind went blank.

However, she didn't dare to tell the truth because she couldn't bear to see A Yue's lost look.

So she subconsciously made up a story: "There are many tall buildings outside, and... and many carriages... and the rest... I can't remember..."

Ah Yue smiled and nodded: "Carriages and tall buildings? They must be very spectacular. Unlike here, only the pirate king is qualified to ride in carriages and live in tall buildings."

"Who exactly is that pirate king?"

"I don't know. I only heard about him from my parents when I was a kid. He was a very scary person, with great martial arts skills and he killed people without blinking an eye."

"He's not a good person anyway..."

Just as Su Lanyin finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the kitchen.

The two looked at each other and quickly ran out.

In the yard, Ah Hai was kicked and flew away, lying on the ground, unable to stand up.

Seeing this, Ah Yue immediately rushed over to help him and asked with concern: "Ah Hai, Ah Hai, how are you? Are you okay?"

Ah Hai coughed up a mouthful of blood, then forced a smile: "I'm fine... I was just kicked in the face by someone."

A Yue looked back and saw a group of pirates standing not far away, staring at them with murderous eyes.

"What did Ah Hai do wrong? Why did you hit him?"

The leading pirate said, "You should have paid for ten people. Why are there only nine baskets of fish today?"

Ah Yue was puzzled: "But in the past, we always handed in nine baskets of fish!"

"That's because there are nine of you and the little devil in total. But now, you have one more person, so you should hand in ten baskets!"

"But she is not from here, and she was just rescued by Ahai!" A Yue argued.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The other party was obviously impatient. "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Anyway, you have to hand in as many baskets as there are people in your family. Not even one less fish will do! Either hand in the fish or pay the money. It's up to you!"

At this time, Su Lanyin came up from behind, looked at the group of people and said, "We can hand over the fish, but we have to do it tomorrow..."

The pirates were all amazed by her appearance, and some evil thoughts suddenly appeared in their eyes.

"Are you the stranger he rescued?"

"Yes."

Several pirates were talking in low voices.

"Looks like she was kidnapped by that gang, but I remember they should have come back. She hasn't come back yet. Could she have been sucked into the Abyss Dragon's Eye?"

"I'm sure that's right. So this woman is our boss. If we take her back, wouldn't that be a great achievement?"

"You're right! So what should we do?"

"I don't know either... should I take him away by force?"

"Makes sense!"

……

After the discussion, the pirates thought it was perfect, but they didn't know that Su Lanyin heard it clearly.

She was also surprised at how good her hearing was.

"I have another idea. If you can't hand over the money or the fish today, then you can hand the person over to us. How about that?"

The leading pirate had a wretched look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Ah Hai immediately forced himself to stand up.

"No! Ah Xing is not an object, I can't give her to you. What's more, she hasn't fully recovered yet..."

Ah Yue also looked nervous: "Yes, we are trying to raise money, can you give us a day's grace?"

"No way!" The pirate immediately kicked over the stool at his feet. "Who do you think you are? You dare to bargain with us? Believe it or not, I will beat you to death!"

After saying that, they took out whips, rushed forward and hit A Yue.

Seeing that the whip like a python was about to fall, A Yue closed her eyes in fear.

She thought there would be severe pain, but after waiting for a while, she felt nothing, so she slowly opened her eyes.

Su Lanyin had stood in front of her without her noticing, holding the whip in one hand and glaring at the other person.

"You guys, don't you understand what people are saying?"

After she finished speaking, doubt flashed in her eyes. After all, these things were instinctive reactions, and she had no idea why it was like this!
