Little Crane Grass couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. Little Yu 'er, who was beside him, had already fallen asleep and was breathing evenly. Little Crane Grass, who was originally a little nervous, suddenly calmed down. He made up his mind that no matter what happened, he must ensure Little Yu' er's safety. Otherwise, he would never forgive himself.
At this time, he should be afraid. But strangely, he didn't seem to be afraid at all. He was very calm. Little Crane Grass felt as if he had turned into another person. He was coldly analyzing the current situation. Many things that he didn't think of before suddenly came to his mind.
It was impossible to say that no one in the entire Saber Spirit Country could deal with the pirates here. If no one in the entire Saber Spirit Country could deal with the pirates here, then it would be too inexcusable. If that was the case, then the Saber Spirit Country would have already perished.
But Devil Beach had existed for so many years. This could only prove one thing. There was someone behind Devil Beach, and that person's influence wasn't small.
This time, Little Crane Grass had also heard the conversation between Liu Yu and Liu Ji. There were a few ships around them that were transporting something very valuable. If there was really someone behind the Devil Beach, and if that person was the enemy of the Blade Spirit Nation, then the people on these ships might be from the Blade Spirit Nation. Then, it was almost certain that there would be a conflict between the two sides, and this kind of conflict was almost inevitable.
If all of these guesses were correct, then they would definitely be attacked. Although they wouldn't be the main target, as long as they were attacked, then the attacker wouldn't be weak. At that time, they would be in a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Little Crane Grass slowly sat up. His eyes were black and bright. Even in such an environment, they were like two cold bolts of lightning. He slowly got off the bed without disturbing Little Yu 'er. Then he slowly touched his own clothes, and at the same time, he also touched Little Yu' er's clothes. Then he slowly stuffed their clothes under the bed. He stuffed them very deeply, and with the darkness in the room, it was impossible for people to see the clothes.
Then, he picked up the bowl with the small fish on the table and placed it beside the toilet bowl. The shadow of the toilet bowl blocked the small bowl. After doing all this, he returned to the bed and quietly closed his eyes.
Time passed by bit by bit, but Little Crane Grass didn't fall asleep. He knew that if the other party wanted to attack the fleet, then it would be tonight. After tonight, they would have the opportunity to attack.
Until midnight, there was still no movement. However, the uneasiness in Little Crane Grass's heart grew stronger. He felt that something was going to happen very soon. He slowly sat up and walked to the door. He slowly opened the door a crack. It looked like the door was unlatched. Then, he returned to his bed and sat there quietly.
Just as Little Crane Grass sat on the bed, he suddenly heard a noise from outside. He could faintly hear someone shouting, "The pirates are here! The pirates are here!"
Little Crane Grass moved and lay on the bed again. He knew that once there was movement outside, Liu Shun would definitely come in to check. Sure enough, as soon as there was movement outside, Liu Shun's door creaked and then his door was slowly pushed open. Little Crane Grass closed his eyes and pretended that he didn't hear anything.
Seeing that Little Crane Grass didn't wake up, Liu Shun slowly closed the door and retreated out of the room. The reason why Liu Shun didn't wake Little Crane Grass up and lead him to another place to hide was that there was no safer place on the ship than this cabin.
As soon as Liu Shun left, Little Crane Grass immediately sat up. He gently shook Little Yu 'er. Little Yu' er slowly opened her eyes. In the darkness, she looked at Little Crane Grass and asked, "Big Brother Crane Grass, what are you doing?"
Little Crane Grass softly said, "Little Yu 'er, listen to me. Don't make a sound. In a while, we'll lie down. Don't let anyone discover us. If I don't let you make a sound, you must not make a sound. Understand?"
Little Yu 'er looked at Little Crane Grass in confusion. She didn't know why Little Crane Grass said this. However, she still nodded obediently. This was because she had always trusted Little Crane Grass unconditionally.
Little Crane Grass helped Little Yu 'er get down from the bed. Then he let Little Yu' er go under the bed. After Little Yu 'er went under, Little Crane Grass said, "Yu' er, be good. I'll spread the quilt and immediately come to accompany you."
Little Yu 'er's small face was somewhat pale as she nodded. At this time, she had already heard the noise coming from outside. Although she was still young and didn't know what was going on, she also knew that something bad must have happened outside. Something that made her feel afraid.
Little Crane Grass softly comforted Little Yu 'er again. Then he lifted the quilt and shook it hard. Then he put the quilt on the ground. Then he picked up the mattress and shook it hard. This way, the temperature of the quilt would dissipate as soon as possible. Even if someone touched the quilt, they wouldn't be able to judge when they left.
After Little Crane Grass touched the quilt and found that it was cold, he put the quilt on the bed and then carefully spread the quilt on the bed. He spread it very carefully. Moreover, he didn't spread it in a special way. Instead, he deliberately spread it in a very messy way. He didn't have time to fold the quilt, but the corner of the quilt was naturally hanging on the ground. It looked like a person who was in a hurry to get up and walk out. He accidentally brought the quilt to the ground, but he didn't have the mood to tidy it up.
After fixing the blanket, Little Crane Grass lifted the corner of the blanket and crawled under the bed. Little Yu 'er was hiding under the bed and trembling. When she saw Little Crane Grass crawling under the bed, she immediately grabbed Little Crane Grass's arm and looked like she wanted to cry but didn't dare to.
Little Crane Grass gently patted Little Yu 'er and said, "Yu' er, don't be afraid. We're actually playing a game of hide-and-seek with Brother Liu Shun and Uncle Liu Ji. Let's see if they can find us. Before they find us, we can't make a sound if anyone comes looking for us. Do you hear me?"
Little Yu 'er nodded. Although Little Crane Grass said this, Little Yu' er was still very afraid. She didn't dare to make any noise.
Little Crane Grass was lying under the bed, quietly listening to the sounds outside. At this moment, sounds of fighting could be heard. Moreover, these sounds were very abnormal. From time to time, there would be rumbles and screams. Moreover, the sounds were getting closer and closer. Little Crane Grass could already hear Liu Yu's angry voice coming from outside. However, Liu Yu didn't order people to participate in the battle. Instead, he ordered people to set sail. He didn't care about the night and was about to set sail.
But at this moment, a rumbling sound was heard. Then the ship shook violently. Then there was chaos on the ship. Then Little Crane Grass faintly heard a plopping sound. Upon hearing this sound, his expression changed, because this meant that someone had abandoned the ship. It seems like the situation outside wasn't good.
Little Crane Grass turned his head to look at Little Yu 'er. He saw that Little Yu' er's face was pale as she grabbed his arm. Her eyes were filled with fear. Little Crane Grass softly said, "Yu 'er, don't be afraid. I'm here." Perhaps because of his comfort, Little Yu 'er's face looked a little better. However, she still didn't let go of his arm.
At this moment, Little Crane Grass heard a series of clanking sounds, followed by a series of cheers. Following that, a coarse voice said, "Little Crane Grass, quickly get on the ship and see if there are any good things on the ship. If there are good things, take them all away."
Some people responded. Then Little Crane Grass heard the sound of someone kicking the door. A burst of messy footsteps was heard. Little Crane Grass couldn't help but feel nervous. He turned his head to look at Little Yu 'er. Little Yu' er was looking at him with a pale face.
Little Crane Grass gently patted Little Yu 'er's hand. Then he quietly looked at the door. The footsteps got closer. Before long, Little Crane Grass heard a bang. The door was kicked open. Then a pair of bare feet appeared in front of Little Crane Grass. This pair of bare feet was covered in black mud. It wasn't the feet of a boatman.
Little Crane Grass gently covered Little Yu 'er's mouth with his hand. The pair of feet only stopped on the door for a moment before they turned and left. However, Little Crane Grass didn't let go. He was still quietly looking outside. His heart was very calm. It was as if he was watching someone else acting. He didn't feel any fear at all.
After a while, a sharp voice said, "Big Brother, there's nothing good on the ship. It's all medicinal herbs. Bags and bags."
The rough voice said, "Medicinal herbs? Is there a seal? Which family is it? "
The sharp voice said, "Yes, it's the Liu family's seal. Big Brother, it seems like this is the Liu family's medicine ship. What should we do?"
The rough voice seemed to be afraid of the Liu family. When he heard that it was the Liu family's ship, he couldn't help but ponder for a moment. Then he said in a deep voice, "The Liu family can be considered as a local tyrant. If we take away all their medicinal herbs, I'm afraid they won't agree. But since we're on the ship, we can't come here for nothing. Let's get our brothers to take away one-third of the medicinal herbs. This is the rule of the underworld. The Liu family should know. Even if they know, they won't do anything.
Little Crane Grass lay under the bed without moving. He was now a little worried. He didn't know how Liu Shun and the others were doing. If something happened to Liu Shun and the others, then even if there were medicinal herbs on the ship, they couldn't do anything.
After a while, the sharp voice said, "Big Brother, the medicinal herbs are all moved. There's no one on the Liu family's ship. Can we just leave it here?"
The rough voice said, "No one? Do you know what the Liu family's boatmen are good at? They are good at diving and can stay underwater for a day without any problems. Although the fight between the two lords caused some damage to the ship, the people on the ship didn't die. Most of them just jumped off the ship. They won't go far. The Liu family's rules are very strict. Don't worry, as long as we leave, it won't take long for them to come back. Let's go. "Then a series of footsteps sounded and the entire ship returned to its original calm state.
