Chapter 22 Du Yuan

.The rising sun is rising.

Xiao Yun stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the vast ocean, thinking.

In Xiao Yun's impression, Du Yuan is an upright and kind person. He is usually willing to help others, uphold justice, and has a good reputation.

If it weren't for Du Yuan's help, he would probably be still on the isolated island and stayed for another two years, three years or more. So, he was very grateful to Du Yuan.

He felt that a generous person like Du Yuan should not have many difficulties and carefree things. However, now his ideas have changed because everyone has their own stories and difficulties.

Last night, Xiao Wu told him Du Yuan’s story.

According to Xiao Wu, the Du Yuan family was originally a big family, but all the property confiscated was still owed a lot of debts. Since then, the family has been busy day and night to pay off the debt. But soon, Du Yuan's father and mother also passed away one after another, leaving only the young Du Yuan and his younger brother.

Fortunately, Du Yuan was strong and good at martial arts, so he could live a life of 50% after living. It was not until Du Yuan grew up and became successful in martial arts that their lives were better.

However, until now, they still have a lot of debts that have not been paid off. As the deadline for repaying the debts is approaching, Du Yuan was unable to come out to make money. Later, the fat boss found out that he was not good at skill, so he pulled him to join his fleet, and since then he has been running the boat with the fat boss.

After working for two years, he was promoted to captain of the guards. Xiao Wu and others were also introduced by him later.

Originally, it was easy for Du Yuan to make money. Because he had a good martial arts, many black forces had invited him to join the group. However, he was born upright and unwilling to do illegal activities, so he still didn't have much savings.

But this is a world of force, full of intrigue everywhere, how can kind people have a good ending?

Force is money! This is the rule of the world. However, Du Yuan did not understand this truth. Perhaps, he also understood it, but could not let go of his beliefs.

Although it was extremely difficult to make money, Du Yuan did not tell everyone about his worries, and just chose to bear it silently.

If Xiaowu wasn't in the same village as Du Yuan, no one knew about this. Fortunately, Xiaowu understood in his heart. Although Xiaowu and several other guards secretly helped Du Yuan raise some money, it was far from enough! If they had excellent martial arts skills, they might have thought of ways to get rid of the rich and help the poor. But with the skills of a few of them, they would probably be beaten to death by the servants who were guarding the door before they could even robbed them.

Just yesterday, they saw that Xiao Yun was very skilled in martial arts, so they took their attention to Xiao Yun.

Yesterday, after hearing Xiao Wu's words, Xiao Yun was silent for a while. Then he said: Don't worry, this matter will be covered by me!

Xiao Yun had his plans. Du Yuan had helped him not only, but also wanted to avoid his own wages in order to get him on the boat. This was made by Du Yuan when he needed money. This friendship made him ashamed and deeply moved him.

He decided to help Du Yuan, and he had a plan at present.

At this moment, the sun had already surfaced on the entire sea. From a distance, the junction between the ocean and the horizon was red, like a red ribbon.

The morning breeze blows, and the blue waves are swaying.

Xiao Yun stood there quietly, like a stone sculpture. Only a few strands of long hair were left floating slightly in the wind.

"Brother Xiao -, have you finished practicing martial arts? Brother Du asked me to call you for dinner!"

A slightly tender voice came from afar, and the sound was clear, but Xiao Wu ran over. Xiao Yunpiaoyuan's thoughts were immediately pulled back. He couldn't help but sigh in secret why he became sentimental and was distracted without realizing it.

Xiao Wu was very fast, and in a short while he arrived, and there was still a little panting on his chest. "Xiao Wu, is it time for dinner?" Xiao Yun looked at him with a smile, feeling that he was thinking of a child at this moment.

"Oh - let's go quickly, everyone is waiting for you Brother Xiao!" Looking at Xiao Yun's silence, Xiao Wu looked bitter, pulled up his sleeves and left.

Since the guards learned that Xiao Yun had powerful martial arts skills, everyone was even more enthusiastic about him and smiled every day when they saw him. Along the way, he followed Xiao Wu and greeted the guards and came to Du Yuan's room.

In the hall, Du Yuan, Daqiang and others were sitting together. Several lunch boxes were opened on the dining table, the food was steaming hot, and the room was full of the smell of rice.

"Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time! Haha." As soon as Xiao Yun entered the door, he first apologized, otherwise there would be a few people scolding him. He sat on a stool and looked at everyone. Seeing that Du Yuan's face was still pale, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Brother Du, how are your injuries now? It's better to have less activity before you recover."

Du Yuan's face looked very bad, and he took a few breaths from time to time. His body was almost wrapped in gauze, and his whole body looked extremely weak. He seemed to fall down with a slight touch.

"Haha, it's okay, it'll be fine for a few days of cultivation..." Du Yuan smiled indifferently. After a while, everyone started to eat, having a happy mood.

"Brother Du, how many days will it take for us to go back?" Xiao Yun seemed to remember something, looked at Du Yuan, and suddenly asked. Liu Fei had just put down his chopsticks, and heard his question, and immediately said, "We have to stay on the boat for five or six days! It took us a month and a half when we went out, and it took so long to come back."

Xiaowu and others nodded together.

"No!" Daqiang took a cup of tea and poured a cup of tea into his lower abdomen. He was clean and neat, as if he was drinking. He wiped his mouth and said carelessly: "We went for a short time, but we would have to be much longer when we came!"

Xiao Yun couldn't help but wonder and looked at Daqiang in confusion. Daqiang's face turned embarrassed, and a little bit of shyness appeared on his honest big face, and he said awkwardly: "I don't know why, I heard Brother Du say."

Xiao Yun couldn't help but look at Du Yuan, and Xiao Wu and the others looked puzzled. They thought they were all the same journey. How long should they go and how long should they come? Is there something wrong?

Seeing everyone's expression of confusion, Du Yuan put down the teacup in his hand, his pale face suddenly lowered his smile, and said with a deep expression: "It's the first time you've been on the boat, so naturally I don't understand the reason." He looked at everyone again, "Just as Daqiang said, it will take longer to go back, and... it will be much more dangerous!"

Indeed, except for Du Yuan, everyone here is following the boat for the first time and doesn't know some of the situations on the sea. At this time, when everyone, including Xiao Yun, was stunned. Xiao Wu even stood up and asked, "Why?!"

Du Yuan glanced at Xiao Wu and did not answer his question, but asked back: "Do you know what the shipping merchants are most afraid of?"

"You still have to think about it. Of course I'm afraid of pirates! These - Qiang said before Xiao Wu answering, but after he suddenly changed his face. He obviously thought of something and stuttered: "Brother Du...we won't meet pirates, right?"

As soon as Daqiang said the words, Xiao Wu, Liu Fei and others all had a stiff expression, showing a little fear, and their faces turned pale. When Xiao Yun heard Daqiang's words, he watched the expressions of the people and guessed that things were not simple.

"Not bad!" Du Yuan stood up slowly and sighed long. As Du Yuan's words fell, Xiao Wu and others could not help but change their colors.

Xiao Yun only felt that the air in the hall was suffocating, and everyone's breathing was paused. For a moment, the sound of the needle could be heard. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely depressing.

If you encounter some pirates again, I don’t know how many people will die. Maybe some of the brothers here will not be able to see them in a few days.

Xiao Yun sighed secretly, it seemed that the road back was not easy to walk.

Just as Xiao Yun was trying to say some comforting words, Liu Fei, who was sitting beside him, broke the silence in the hall, looked at Du Yuan carefully and asked, "But... when we went out to sea... we didn't meet pirates?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, all of them showed hope and looked at Du Yuan together.

We made a plan when we came out and set off when the pirates went out, so we avoided conflict. But now when we go back,...who knows what will happen?" Du Yuan sat down again, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. "But everyone doesn't have to worry too much. We will try our best to bypass those dangerous seas. Maybe we won't encounter pirates like when we went out."

At this time, Xiao Yun also understood why the time for going back became longer. Because there were pirates in the waters ahead. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was inevitable to take some roads.

"That's right! We can't meet those thieves!" Daqiang also muttered. With a glimmer of hope, everyone slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Du, what kind of pirates are there?" Xiao Yun wanted to learn more and let him deal with it calmly.

"Well, most of them are Japanese pirates in the East, and there are also underworld forces along the coast of the Ming Dynasty."

"Japanese pirates!" Xiao Yun stood up suddenly, his body flashing with evil spirits. A faint aura emanated from him, and the air around him began to gradually become dull, and the temperature dropped sharply, as if it was back to winter.

Du Yuan and the others felt a chill behind their backs, and boundless pressure came out from Xiao Yun. They all looked at Xiao Yun with some horror. The momentum of a person was so strong!

They didn't understand why Xiao Yun was so fierce when he heard that the Japanese pirates in the East were so fierce.

When Xiao Yun came to his senses, he suddenly saw Du Yuan and others' expressions wrong, and realized that he had done too much just now! He quickly retracted his breath, and the pressure in the hall suddenly disappeared, and the air around him returned to normal. As the pressure disappeared, Du Yuan and others felt relaxed. Everything just now seemed to have never appeared.

"Sorry, haha... I was a little excited just now." Xiao Yun was a little embarrassed and quickly apologized.

He didn't want to be asked by everyone, then the topic changed and his face turned solemn: "The little Japanese pirates are actually rampant in my Ming Dynasty. Are they bullying me, no one in the Ming Dynasty?"

Although Xiao Yun had been staying on the mountain in his previous life and had never been to school, the old man also bought him a lot of textbooks for him to study by himself. He was more interested in Chinese history and naturally knew about the history of Japanese invasion of China, so he was extremely disgusted with Japan. Unexpectedly, when he came here in this life, he could not help but lose his attitude when he heard the barbaric actions of the Japanese pirates in the East. As the predecessor of Japan, the Eastern Japanese, although it had not invaded China, had been marked with hatred by Xiao Yun.

"Yes, the court also sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them several times, but because the other party was extremely cunning, they returned without success every time, but in the end they were left unresolved..."

When they mentioned these pirates from other countries, everyone was filled with righteous indignation! But the court had no choice but to sigh.

After such a fuss, everyone seemed a little depressed.
