That was why the Joao brothers pestered Little Treasure and Little Bear. These two children had been taught since they were young to defend their country when they grew up. Even the more simple-minded Little Bear knew that they were taking advantage of Great Qi with this suggestion. It seemed like they were offering them some benefits in exchange for renting a village, but in fact, they had not paid any price.
As Little Bear had grown up playing the game of soldiers catching thieves, he felt a strong repulsion towards pirates. Now, someone came to tell him that as long as they were willing to rent a piece of land to the pirates, those pirates would not rob at their doorsteps in the future and would shift their activity to somewhere further away.
