Chapter 48 The Queen Who Issues Commands
Fang Jianqiu sat alone in the fairly spacious wooden house, holding an oilcloth in his hand, carefully wiping the revolvers.
Bald Zhou just went to that room again to take care of Uncle Wang.
According to him, the bullet pierced through half an inch of the ship's plank and then through Uncle Wang's shinbone.
Even after such a buffer, it's enough to instantly render a strong, grown man powerless, leaving him groaning and moaning in bed.
Fang Jianqiu looked at the gun barrel gleaming coldly in his hand and subconsciously touched his chest and arm.
He was also shot multiple times.
If it weren't for the insane Hextech talent "Show Your Sword," which provides an unreasonable life steal effect...
Even if he weren't dead now, he'd probably be lying in some dark corner waiting to die, not alive and kicking like he is now, still thinking about wiping out the Japanese pirates.
Thinking about this, he became even more envious of Sarah's "health bar mechanism".
He has no vital points; as long as his health bar isn't empty, he won't die. If you add his life steal ability to that, then he can truly unleash his full power...
Just then, a familiar dog barking came from outside the window again.
"Woof! Woof woof!"
Immediately following was Xiao Yuanshan's reprimand:
"Get out of here! What are you yelling about! These are our own people!"
"I was just thinking about Sarah, and here we are."
Fang Jianqiu put away his gun, stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out.
As soon as he stepped outside, his gaze fell upon the chestnut horse.
Two people were sitting on the horse.
The one in the back is Ye Lang.
The boy had actually woken up, although his face was still as pale as a sheet of paper, his lips were bloodless, and he looked so weak that a gust of wind could blow him over.
But he didn't let anyone help him. Instead, he straightened his back, gripped the saddle firmly with both hands, and his eyes showed a tenacious spirit that had survived a disaster.
That's already quite good.
Fang Jianqiu almost didn't recognize the small figure sitting in front at first glance.
That's Kobayashi.
The little beggar who was originally filthy, with hair like a bird's nest and his face covered in mud, making it impossible to tell his gender, was gone.
Instead, a fair-skinned little girl appeared.
Her hair was neatly combed and tied into two cute little braids.
Although her clean face was still somewhat thin, her features were surprisingly delicate.
Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and smooth, curving into just the right arc. Her nose was small and exquisite, and her lips were clear and full, exuding a refined and elegant charm.
She was still wearing that thick coat that was a bit too big for her, and she was holding the rag doll "Tangtang" tightly in her arms. Even the doll, which was originally dusty, seemed to have been washed clean.
She sat there so obediently on the horse, like a delicate porcelain doll.
Sarah, standing next to the horse, was bending over and teasing the stray dog that had been barking wildly just moments before, sticking out a finger.
The moment she saw Fang Jianqiu come out, her emerald green eyes instantly curved into crescent moons.
"Jianqiu!"
She happily straightened up and ran towards Fang Jianqiu.
As she ran, her magnificent bosom, encased in a tight leather outfit, swayed violently, its waves crashing. The breathtaking visual impact was so captivating that Fang Jianqiu could hardly look away.
"I heard you're going to sea? Do you need any experienced, capable female crew members?" Sarah ran up to Fang Jianqiu and asked with a playful smile, her eyes full of teasing.
"It seems Brother Xiao has been quite talkative on the way here, explaining everything to you clearly." Fang Jianqiu nodded and smiled helplessly. "I'll discuss this further with you and Brother Zhou later; you really can't be left out of this matter."
After saying that, Xiao Yuanshan also came over, pulling on the reins of his chestnut horse.
When Xiao Lin saw Fang Jianqiu on horseback, her eyes lit up, but then she lowered her head shyly, opened her thin arms, and called out timidly:
"Brother Fang..."
The voice was soft and somewhat uncertain.
It was as if she had washed herself clean and changed her appearance, but she became insecure about herself, afraid that Brother Fang would not recognize her as a clean-looking person.
Fang Jianqiu smiled and strode forward, reaching out his hands to lift Xiao Lin off the horse.
The little girl was still light and airy, with almost no weight.
"Xiao Lin looks so well-behaved, I almost didn't recognize her. I thought she was some rich girl from somewhere." Fang Jianqiu's voice was gentle and warm.
Hearing Fang Jianqiu's words, which were full of concern and praise, and feeling the warm hand stroking her head, Xiaolin let out a long breath, and her tense little body finally softened.
She squinted her eyes and nodded happily, enjoying Fang Jianqiu's head pat like a kitten being stroked.
"How is it?" At this moment, Sarah also squatted down and hugged Kobayashi tightly.
She rubbed her face hard against Xiaolin's, squeezing it until it was deformed and sinking into a soft spot.
Sarah raised her head, looking at Fang Jianqiu as if seeking praise:
"I specially boiled this water and washed Lin Daiyu's hair myself! I even combed her hair! Isn't it beautiful?"
"I knew it! Kobayashi was destined to be a beauty. Her features, her natural curves... she's just too thin. She needs to eat more meat!"
Holding her tightly, Kobayashi's face was sandwiched between her breasts, and she could only pout and mumble indistinctly:
"Thank you... Sarah Jie Jie~ Hot water... So lucky... Smells so good..."
Fang Jianqiu watched this scene and nodded with a smile. Seeing that Xiaolin was not dwelling on the shadows of the past and could still smile so happily, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, a weak but unusually firm shout came from the horse's back:
"Brother Fang!"
Fang Jianqiu looked up.
Ye Lang was still sitting on his horse, his face as pale as paper, his expression solemn, his eyes complex and profound, a depth that only comes from experiencing life and death.
That face seemed to hold a thousand words, but in the end, they all boiled down to one sentence:
"Brother Fang, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. From now on, I will go through fire and water for you with just a word!"
This young scholar, when he spoke in the language of the martial arts world, did so with remarkable conviction.
Fang Jianqiu nodded, then shook his head. He stepped forward, reached out, and tightly grasped Ye Lang's cold hand.
"Brother Ye, you flatter me."
Fang Jianqiu said with utmost seriousness:
"I saved you, not so you could go and die. If you want to repay my kindness, you'd better live well! You have a long road ahead of you."
Ye Lang choked up and could no longer speak. He just gripped Fang Jianqiu's hand tightly, his knuckles turning white.
it is more than words.
Sarah, who was half-squatting beside Kobayashi, looked up at the scene.
Looking at the man who seemed to stand tall and upright in the sunlight, her emerald green eyes sparkled with wonder.
I suddenly felt a surge of heat rising from several parts of my body.
Her legs unconsciously came together, as if she wanted to pounce on him right then and there and devour this guy surnamed Fang piece by piece.
At this moment, Zhou Liqun also came out of the back house with two village women.
"Oh, I'm here! Come on in!"
The two women greeted them warmly and led Xiaolin and Yelang into the house to tidy up their lodgings.
Fang Jianqiu then led Sarah toward Zhou Liqun.
"Brother Zhou, let me introduce you. This is Sarah; she will also be coming with us on this sea trip."
Fang Jianqiu pointed to Sarah beside him.
Zhou Liqun was stunned for a moment, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes. This woman was simply like someone who had stepped out of a painting.
But then his eyes turned wary and questioning.
"This... Brother Fang, it's not that I don't trust you."
Zhou Liqun frowned. Sarah looked exactly like a pampered white rich girl.
"This young lady... is she really alright? The sea is nothing like land; the rough seas can be deadly. And those Japanese pirates are incredibly crude and brutal, bringing a woman along..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear: This isn't a picnic, it's a dangerous mission. Why bring a burden along?
Sarah was not angry when she heard this.
She simply smiled faintly, looked up at the sky, and then at the movement of the clouds over the distant sea.
"Brother Zhou, right?"
When she opened her mouth, she spoke fluent Mandarin, and her accent was so pure that Zhou Liqun was stunned.
"The wind is currently from the southeast, around level 3. Looking at the mackerel clouds in the sky and the low altitude of the seabirds, the waves will be the smallest and the visibility will be the highest between 3 pm and 5 pm today, which is perfect for going out to sea to fish."
She pointed her finger towards the bay's exit, "Today is a good day to go out to sea to fish... oh no, to catch the Japanese devils."
Sarah's words were well-reasoned and logical, hitting the nail on the head every time.
Zhou Liqun was stunned by her extremely professional speech and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
This isn't some pretty young lady; she's clearly a seasoned sea dog who's been at sea for decades! Her experience far surpasses that of this self-taught fisherman!
"This..." Zhou Liqun was speechless.
Sarah didn't make any move, but her unique aura as the Bilgewater pirate queen instantly became apparent.
She slightly raised her chin, her tone naturally carrying an undeniable air of authority:
"Take me to see the boats you can currently sail out to sea, and also to see the mouth of the bay."
His commanding and authoritative tone was so natural that he immediately took control of the rhythm.
Bald Zhou was intimidated by this aura and subconsciously nodded, unconsciously obeying the order:
"Okay, let's go! The boat is hidden behind us!"
After saying that, he actually turned around obediently and started leading the way.
Fang Jianqiu stood aside, observing the entire scene.
Looking at Sarah, who was just charming and pretty a moment ago, she has transformed in the blink of an eye into a cold, dignified, and aloof sea queen.
This stark contrast made him feel...
In some places, things have suddenly become more assertive.
