When the shadow of the ship on the sea could be clearly seen, Xiaocao got off the back of the dolphin and quietly approached one of the sailing ships. Pulling the rope hanging from the boat, she tried to see if she could climb up. After a few unsuccessful attempts, she said to Xiao Butianshi in her heart: [Little Tangyuan, can you listen to what they are talking about?]
The golden kitten has restrained the light on its body, and looks similar to an orange cat not long after the full moon. It lightly jumped onto the deck of the ship, and walked up to one of the strangely dressed men. After listening carefully, Xiao Butianshi complained in his heart: What kind of bird language did you speak, why can't you understand a word
It conveyed to Yu Xiaocao that it didn't understand the other party's words in its heart, and complained about the other party's dress: a bald part was shaved on the top of the head, like an old man with a slanted head, and the hair around it was tied into a braid , with a little mustache on his mouth, and clogs on his feet...
Yu Xiaocao's heart skipped a beat: This is the typical dress of ancient Japanese! These little Japanese come to our country's territorial waters by boat, and they are definitely not good at coming! correct! In the history of the Ming Dynasty, wasn't there a situation where Japanese pirates invaded the border? Could it be that these ships are all Japanese pirates
"Little Tangyuan, can you understand what they are saying? This is a matter of life and death, it is very important!!" Yu Xiaocao asked anxiously in her heart.
Xiao Butianshi hesitated for a moment, and said reluctantly: [With my current cultivation base and spiritual power, it is very reluctant to invade the opponent's sea of consciousness. Originally, it won't be long before the God Stone will be able to speak. If he detects the other party's thinking, he will tell you "back to before liberation" as you said. I'm afraid that even the image of the cat is difficult to maintain now...]
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Xiaocao said: "Didn't you say that after helping my master, my cultivation base and spiritual power will increase greatly, and the confinement on my body will also be loosened. If it is what I imagined, you will It will make great contributions, not only helping me and my family, but also saving many people. This is a great merit!!"
[I hope it is as you said! The requirements of this god stone are not high, as long as you can keep a balance between what you get and what you give!]Xiao Butianshi didn't think in his heart that knowing the other party's heart would be of much help to the master.
However, it communicates with its master, and clearly senses the anxiety in Yu Xiaocao's heart. Although he was reluctant, he still condensed his spiritual power into a thin wisp according to his master's wish, and protruded into his sea of consciousness from the ear of a handsome guy on the boat.
[These people came from the country across the sea. There was a very powerful earthquake in their country, and many people couldn't survive. These samurai robbed the fishermen of our country, and knowing that this year was a bumper harvest, they planned to take advantage of the harvest to do a big job. Master, something is wrong! Their target... is Tanggu Port, and some nearby villages...]
Xiaobutianshi's spiritual power was astonishingly consumed. After a while, Yu Xiaocao received the other party's consciousness intermittently. After saying this, the Xiaobutian stone turned into a golden light, returned to the colorful stone on Xiaocao's wrist, and fell into a deep sleep.
However, the message it brought back is enough! She looked at the direction in which the disembarked boats were sailing, and it was indeed heading for the pier. There were a dozen or so boats heading straight towards Dongshan Village at full speed. Yu Xiaocao's heart was full of fear and anxiety. There were dozens of households in Dongshan Village, and there were one or two hundred villagers, both young and old! !
Without further ado, Yu Xiaocao asked the little dolphin to take her back to the sea at full speed. Although the Little Butian Stone fell into a deep sleep, the protective shield it left behind was still functioning, and the grass protected within it ignored water pressure and resistance, so it traveled much faster than those ships.
Yu Xiaocao first came to the sea area where Xiaolian usually dived, and found Xiaolian who was with Zhuang Xiaomo and Zhou Shanhu by instinct. She carried Xiaolian up to the surface from the bottom of the sea, and said anxiously: "Quick! Go and inform the village chief, the Japanese pirates are coming!!"
"Japanese pirates??" Zhuang Xiaomo, who was speaking from the side of the water, showed an expression of disbelief, and asked in surprise, "Are you sure they are Japanese pirates?"
"The Japanese pirates are very cruel. I heard from the older generation that the Japanese pirates have no humanity. They kill everyone they see, rob everything they see, ruin women, and burn down houses!!" Zhou Shanhuo also gathered, covering his mouth and screaming again and again.
Yu Xiaocao took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "I'm sure it's Japanese pirates. They dress very differently from our Daming, and they can't understand their chatter. Where are the weapons!! Brother Mo, hurry back to your village, tell your village chief the news and leave it alone, pack your things and come to our house!"
Zhuang Xiaomo nodded vigorously, and said: "Okay! After I tell the village chief, I will come back and meet you! If I come back late, you don't have to take the risk of waiting for me."
Yu Xiaocao saw that he got on the shore and ran all the way to the next village, and swam back to the shore in a hurry. She didn't bother to change her clothes, so she picked up her clothes and ran to the village.
Thinking that godfather should be in the port to supervise the construction at this time, he said to Xiao Lian: "I will go to the village chief's house alone, you go home first, let elder brother ride Xiaohui to the pier to inform my godfather, let him contact the guard Officers and soldiers. Tell parents to quickly pack up some valuable and important things... "
Xiao Lian nodded, let go of her feet and ran home. Zhou Coral followed her with a pale face. Her father and elder brother have gone out to sell goods, and there are only mother Zhou and her at home... No, tell mother quickly, pack up and move with the Yu family is the safest way!
When Yu Xiaocao ran to the village chief's house, she was out of breath. She put the multicolored stones on her chest, and a cool feeling went straight to her lungs, and her lungs that were about to explode finally felt a little better. She found the village head, dived and swam to the deep sea area, and told the village head everything about encountering Japanese pirate ships.
The village chief frowned, and asked half-believingly, "Are you sure it's the Japanese pirates, not the fishermen's boats near us?"
"I'm sure!! The fleet I met was of the same style. There were thirty or forty of them, and the scale was very large. I approached a boat quietly from the bottom of the water, and faintly heard the chattering of the people above, and I couldn't understand a word I understand! I climbed up from the stern and saw that those people were all dressed differently from us, and they all had long knives pinned to their waists... I heard from my grandfather that we had been attacked by Japanese pirates in the previous dynasty. I need to come back and report to you. Grandpa Village Chief, time is running out, so hurry up and make up your mind!!" Yu Xiaocao worked hard to make up the story, fearing that the village chief would not believe her, sweating on her brow!
The village chief knew that Xiaocao was young but steady, so he would never joke about such a thing. He thought about it, and he would rather believe what he has than believe what he has not. Japanese pirates have always been brutal, this is no small matter!
He rang the big bell at the entrance of the village for the first time this year, and the villagers quickly gathered in the open space in front of the village head's house, wondering if the village head had something important to announce. When the bell rang the year before last, it was just before the locust plague came.
The village chief told Xiaocao what he had told him, and briefly told the villagers, telling them to go back and pack up their belongings, and prepare to go into the mountains to hide!
The villagers were skeptical and chattered. Many people didn't believe Xiaocao's words. Some thought that she had misunderstood it, and some thought that she had made a big fuss. Few moved back to pack their things.
Yu Xiaocao is so anxious! The Japanese pirates are coming, and you are still arguing here. She thought for a while, and saw Goudan, who was good at climbing trees in the village, pointed to the tallest old elm tree at the entrance of the village, and said, "Goudan, you should climb to the top of the tree and have a look, you should be able to faintly see the fleet on the sea." .Anyway, I have brought the news, believe it or not!!"
Finally, she added another sentence: "Think about the locust plague the year before!! Those who were skeptical, what happened in the end? Now, it's not just a matter of losing money, your choice is related to your family life!"
At this time, Goudan, who climbed to the top of the tree, blah, said: "Really! There are dozens of boats on the sea level, heading towards us!! It's not clear yet, are they Japanese pirates..."
With Goudan's shout and Xiaocao's words, the villagers believed it a little. As the village head said: I would rather believe it. If the Japanese pirates are really coming, it is wise to prepare in advance to escape into the mountains. If not, then they have nothing to lose, at most it is a false alarm.
Seeing everyone running towards their homes quickly, the village chief couldn't help reminding: "Pick up light and valuable things to bring, don't be reluctant to take everything. If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. It doesn't matter!! After half an hour, gather here, if anyone is late, don't blame us for not waiting for others!!"
Yu Xiaocao saw that everyone was in action, and greeted the village head and grandpa, and ran towards her house quickly. When passing by Zhou's house, I saw Aunt Zhou moaning at the hundreds of chickens raised by her family.
"Auntie, put the chickens in the forest, and save as much as you can! Pick up the precious things at home, don't be reluctant, life-saving is the most important thing!!" Yu Xiaocao couldn't help reminding.
When Yu Xiaocao arrived home, she saw that Yu Hang, who went to the pier to report the news, and Xiao Shitou, who was studying in the town, were all gathered in her yard. The employees of the pharmaceutical workshop and the pig farm also went back to pack up their things. Cherry and the stewards donated by King Yang also stood there nervously with a package in their hands.
"Auntie's family, who informed them?" Yu Xiaocao asked anxiously seeing that her aunt's family was not there.
Yu Hai glanced at her reassuringly, and said, "Erya is going, she should be here soon!" Just as he was speaking, everyone in the aunt's family walked in in a panic, carrying a burden on their backs.
