Fisherman Fubao made his fortune by fishing

Chapter 114 Pirate's Long Face

It was not until he entered Zhulu Academy that he heard his classmates mention a famous talented woman in Huihai County by chance. When he heard the name Guo Qingran, he was happy. A woman as beautiful and unique as her was undoubtedly a famous talented woman in Huihai County.

He didn't know why, but while he was happy for her, he also felt a little lost. A woman as good as her was not worthy of him.

Besides, he is engaged.

At that time, he blamed his grandfather for the first time, asking why he arranged marriages for his children without his consent.

He suddenly thought of what she had said in the academy: people were too harsh on women, while fathers and brothers interfered too much in their children's lives.

From then on, he studied even harder and no longer thought about, nor dared to think about, anything else.

After a poetry competition, a drunk classmate accidentally revealed a secret.

The new magistrate's son actually had evil intentions towards her and wanted to insult her.

He was very worried about this, but he finally went to see her and told her what he had heard that day.

Since then, they have been in occasional contact.

Later, in order to protect her, his right hand was cut by Wu Yanei with a knife and was almost disabled.

"Cousin, please hurry up. Sister Qingran is still waiting for me." Li Yuer urged.

Cai Junyi stopped thinking about it, picked up a pen, dipped it in some fish glue, and wrote "Ode to the Plum Blossom" on it.

Li Yuer, who was standing by, was very satisfied and said, "Cousin, you are already quite old, right?"

Facing Li Yuer's frighteningly bright eyes, Cai Junyi's face turned slightly red. What did his cousin mean?

Li Yuer didn't know what Cai Junyi was thinking, so she kept talking to herself, "You are so old now, you should share the burden of the family, right? So, how about this, cousin? Let's make a deal. You help me write on the oil lamps, and I'll let Nongchaolou pay you. Don't worry, one oil lamp won't be less than fifty cents."

Fifty cents a lamp is not a small amount of money. For a student like Cai Junyi who is still a student, calligraphy is worthless.

Li Yuer only planned to paint and write inscriptions on the special products, and he wanted them to be limited and unique.

Cai Junyi's heart was in turmoil, he was happy and disappointed at the same time. After all, his cousin was just a child and her words were ambiguous.

Cai Junyi nodded gently and said with a smile: "Thank you so much for your help, cousin."

"Okay, cousin, don't thank me so much. Just say this, I'm leaving."

Li Yuer held the oil lamp and left happily.

At night, everything is quiet. The mountain village is silent after the snow has fallen, as if everything has fallen into a deep dream.

"Squeak!"

Suddenly, a strange animal cry was heard outside the window, and Ma Daqiang woke up from his dream with his heart pounding like thunder.

He was very familiar with this voice, but so many years had passed and he thought the nightmare was long gone. When he heard this voice again, Ma Daqiang felt like he was falling into an icy cave.

They finally found it...

He glanced at his wife who was sleeping beside him, quickly put on his clothes, took out a knife from under the bed, and quietly opened the door to go out.

The nights in the coldest months of winter are so cold that it feels like freezing to death.

"Squeak squeak!"

The person in the dark seemed to see Ma Daqiang, and the voice became more urgent.

Ma Daqiang followed the sound and came to the haystack outside the yard.

"why you?"

The man was ragged and dusty, but his long face was still conspicuous in the moonlight.

If Li Yuer and Li Erlang were there, they would recognize at a glance that the man in front of them was the pirate who kidnapped Guo Qingran in the cave.

"Stop talking, take me to find a place to hide, I'm almost freezing to death."

The long-faced man's lips turned white as he moved, and his voice seemed a little disembodied.

Seeing that there were no other pirates around, Ma Daqiang breathed a sigh of relief and put the knife hidden behind his back on the waistband of his pants to avoid being noticed by the other party.

Ma Daqiang led the man into the woodshed and gave him some leftover cakes from the evening.

The long-faced man ate voraciously. He ate so fast that he choked and rolled his eyes, but he still couldn't stop and kept guzzling water.

"Scar Qiang, how did you end up like this?"

Scar swallowed the last bite of the biscuit and said, "Don't mention it. It's all Wu Yanei's fault."

"How did you get involved with the government officials?"

When it comes to this, Scar Qiang is furious: "It's because of the boss, he coveted power and was used by Magistrate Wu. Does he really think the court can recruit us?"

Scarface Qiang briefly told Ma Daqiang what had happened in the gang in recent days. Of course, when mentioning Wu Yanei, he talked about how Wu Yanei used them, destroyed their bridges after crossing them, and killed people to silence them.

In the past few days, Scar Qiang was secretly hunted by Wu Yanei. He dared not enter the town at all. Even the nearby villages had Wu Yanei's spies. Wu Yanei had people holding his portrait to search for him everywhere.

But he looks very distinctive, with a long face and a scar on his forehead, and he can be recognized at a glance.

He had been hiding from place to place for the past few days and was almost freezing to death or starving to death. With nowhere else to go, he thought of Ma Daqiang.

"Didn't we agree back then that we wouldn't contact each other anymore?" Ma Daqiang said angrily.

Scar Qiang said with a sad face: "Brother, if I hadn't been desperate, would I have come to you? Lend me some silver, I will take the silver and leave Xinpu Town immediately, no, leave Ninghai Prefecture. If Wu Yanei and his men catch me, I will die a miserable death, without a complete body!"

He grabbed Ma Daqiang's arm and said, "Daqiang, if it weren't for me, would you have been able to escape with Bihe? Consider it a favor to me back then and help me this time, just this once."

When Ma Daqiang was a child, one year, Ninghaizhou was suddenly hit by a storm and tsunami. His parents happened to go out to sea that day and both died. Even their bodies were never found.

A few months after the disaster, floods struck again, and most areas had no harvest. During the famine, Ma Daqiang almost starved to death. He had no choice but to become a pirate.

But being a pirate was not his original intention, so he secretly settled down in Fushui Village without telling the stronghold, preparing to leave the stronghold when he had the chance.

He also got married, but he often didn't go home. His partner gradually noticed something was wrong and eventually discovered that he was a pirate.

What the coastal residents hate the most is pirates, so his wife is going to report him. Reporting pirates can not only eliminate harm to the people, but also get a reward.

Ma Daqiang has always been on guard against the person next to him. When he found out that his wife was going to report him, he had an argument with her and accidentally killed his first wife.

After accidentally killing his wife, he began to drink heavily. When he was drunk, he would become crazy and gradually developed a tendency to domestic violence. His second wife was beaten to death by him when he was drunk.

When he sobered up and saw his wife beaten beyond recognition, he was completely stunned and started to quit drinking from then on.

Lu He was originally a girl in Qunfang Tower. After working in brothels for more than ten years, she finally saved enough money to redeem herself. Unexpectedly, the brothel owner colluded with pirates. She let her go openly, but secretly let the pirates kidnap her and take her to the village to molest her and collect money from her for selling her body.

Ma Daqiang was in charge of looking after Lu He. Seeing how tortured Lu He was every day, he gradually felt pity for her. He helped her wipe her body and secretly bought her medicine for her medical treatment. As time went by, Ma Daqiang actually fell madly in love with Lu He.

Later, Ma Daqiang used most of the property he had saved from being a pirate in the past few years to bribe Scar Qiang, and with Scar Qiang's help, he escaped with Lu He.
