"It's time! Hang the sails! Put the pedals away!"
On the ferry, a group of people are busy preparing for the sailing of the building ship.
The pedals were gradually retracted and the last group of passengers also stepped onto the deck.
"Mom, I'm so afraid..." On the shaky deck a little girl held her mother's hand tightly as if it was her first time on a boat, her small eyes were full of terror.
"Be good baby, don't be afraid..." The mother comforted the little girl softly, "Just go back to the room, come grab my mother's hand..."
"Hmm... ah!" The little girl nodded lightly, and just took a step, she slipped her feet and bumped into a middle-aged man beside her.
"Little girl! Are you okay?" The mother hurriedly pulled the little girl back and asked worriedly.
"I nothing, nothing..." Xiaoya timidly shrank into her mother's arms.
"Little brat! You are courting death!"
The sullen middle-aged man looked back and saw that they were just two weak mothers and daughters. He raised his hand and waved towards Xiaoya.
If this slap goes down, it is estimated that Xiaoya's face will be broken by the middle-aged man.
"don't want!"
Seeing this, the mother closed her eyes and hurriedly stood in front of the little girl.
However one second, two seconds... three seconds passed but the slap never fell.
Her mother opened her eyes suspiciously and saw a young chivalrous man standing in front of her. The middle-aged man was holding his wrist tightly, unable to move.
[Name: Water Pirate Bully]

His wrist was grabbed, the middle-aged man blushed and he exerted all the strength to suckle but he couldn't break free from Jiang Yu's hand.
"Boy! Which way? I'm from the Black Jiao Gang! I advise you to stay out of your own business!" When the middle-aged man spoke, another companion beside him also came over.
Jiang Yu smiled slightly but did not let go.
"Hey - I said your kid is courting death..." Seeing this, the middle-aged man's companion rolled up his sleeves and punched Jiang Yu in the face.
Jiang Yu glanced at the middle-aged man's companion suddenly raised his leg and kicked him on the chest, kicking him more than ten meters away lying unconscious on the ground.
-386
[Jiang Yu killed the water thief! ]
With one move to kill, Jiang Yu grabbed the middle-aged man's wrist and twisted it down, only to hear a crisp "click" on the middle-aged man's wrist. on the ground.
"Uh..."
The wrist that was twisted by Jiang Yu was shaking violently, and the face of the middle-aged man gradually turned from red to purple due to lack of oxygen.
Jiang Yu smiled at the middle-aged man with a very painful expression, patted his face lightly with the other hand and said, "Okay the boat is about to leave, go back to your room and lie down and don't run around otherwise Next time... I won't just break my hand!"
With that said, Jiang Yu stood up and let go of the middle-aged man's hand.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Taking a deep breath of fresh air the middle-aged man got up from the ground, glanced at Jiang Yu resentfully and turned around and ran away dragging his companion's body.
"Boy, you have a seed! You wait! Our Heijiao Gang will not let you go!"
"Thank you, son! Thank you!" The mother behind her hurriedly thanked Jiang Yu and at the same time tugged at the little girl in her arms and said, "Little girl! Thank you for this brother soon!"
"Thank you, little brother!"
"You're welcome..." Jiang Yu squatted down and touched the little girl's head and said with a smile, "Go back quickly, remember to hold your mother tight next time not every time a big brother will come out to help you."
"Well, Xiaoya knows." Xiaoya nodded to Jiang Yu, turned and left the deck with her mother.
"Yo! I didn't expect you to be so helpful!"
Behind Jiang Yu, Xiao Qiao held her hands and walked towards Jiang Yu with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"It's you?" Jiang Yu got up and looked at Xiao Qiao behind him and asked with a smile, "Girl why don't you take a good rest in your place, why are you running on the deck?"
"I want you to take care of it!" When Jiang Yu poked at the sore spot, Xiao Qiao was like a cat with fried fur.
"You're right, I really don't care..."
Jiang Yu smiled, turned and walked towards the bow of the boat and Xiao Qiao who was behind him followed subconsciously.
"By the way girl, can I ask you a question?" Walking in front, Jiang Yu suddenly asked.
"No!" Xiao Qiao shook her head arrogantly. Ask as soon as you ask. It's really shameless for this girl!
"I want to know, why are there water pirates on this building? Don't the boat owners care?"
Jiang Yu was very curious, how did the two water pirates get on this ship just now?
"Haha! I didn't expect you to even know this?" After hearing Jiang Yu's question, Xiao Qiao covered her mouth with a smile and explained: "The waterway in Yangzhou is extremely developed and it is not only the ship merchants in Yangzhou that are prosperous but also the boat merchants in Yangzhou. There are countless water pirates hiding in various rivers and lakes!
Yangzhou water pirates are infested and they often harass some smaller boat merchants. In order to survive, these small boat merchants have to agree to various requirements of the water pirates. Like the water pirates you just saw, they can also board the boat. In Yangzhou It's nothing but commonplace among the small boat merchants! "
"So that's the case..." Jiang Yu nodded, walked to the bow of the boat with both hands on the railing and continued to ask, "What about the government? When water thieves are infested, does the government do nothing?"
"Government? Ha!" Xiao Qiao smiled disdainfully and stood beside Jiang Yu, tucking her long hair that had been ruffled by the wind.
"The government is weak and it is full of corpses and rubbish. How can they be able to suppress bandits? Moreover, although these water pirates attacked ship merchants, they have never attacked the government's ships. Just an eye..."
"Understood..." Jiang Yu nodded as he looked at Jiang Mian as the mist gradually dissipated in front of him.
"Of course! This is only a concern for those small boat merchants!" Xiao Qiao glanced at Jiang Yu proudly with her hands behind her back and said proudly, "If it were our Qiao family, this would not have happened at all !"
"Joe?"
"Yes! The Qiao family in Wan County!"
Xiao Qiao continued: "Unlike this small boat merchant who only has two or three large boats, our Qiao family is the largest boat merchant in Lujiang County. There are thousands of such boats used to carry passengers. Said that the entire Lujiang County is full of our family's boats! No water thief with short eyes dares to attack our family's boat!"
The Qiao family's boat merchant business is one of the best in Yangzhou. If it wasn't for the death order given by Qiao Lao, the Qiao family's ships could only do business in Lujiang County. It is estimated that the Qiao family could even become the largest ship merchant in Yangzhou!
It is precisely because of this dead order that Xiao Qiao needs to take a boat from another shipper to go to Jianye. Because Jianye is not in Lujiang County.
"Really..." Jiang Yu smiled at Xiao Qiao, who was complacent and said, "It turns out that your family is so rich, I really didn't see it before..."
"Hey! What do you mean?" Xiao Qiao frowned again and threatened Jiang Yu with bared teeth: "Do you believe this girl will let Joe uncle..."
"boom!"
"what--"
Before Xiao Qiao could finish her words, she saw that the boat suddenly shook violently, Xiao Qiao's center of gravity was unstable and she screamed and rushed towards Jiang Yu beside him.
