Chapter 406: He Was Also Washed Here
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When the pirates heard this, some of them did as they were told but others did not.
“Leader, it’s just a woman. You think we can’t deal with her? If we leave now, how are we going to keep our heads up in the future?”
The pirate leader glared icily at the person who spoke. “Just go when I say so. Why are you talking so much nonsense? All of you, leave. Hurry up!”
The other pirates looked at the pirate who had just spoken and hesitated when they saw that he was still standing in the same spot.
Su Ying said in a mocking manner, “It seems like there are quite a few people who want to replace you. 1 thought too highly of you and thought you pirates were quite united.”
The pirate leader was furious. “Do you guys want to die?”
Those pirates exchanged glances and said, “Leader, it wasn’t easy for us to come here. We can’t possibly go back empty-handed. Why don’t you suffer a little and take it as sacrificing yourself for your brothers? Kill her!”
The pirates no longer cared about their leader’s safety and raised their large sabers as they came slashing at Su Ying.
Su Ying grabbed the steel cable binding the pirate’s hand and kicked him, breaking both of his leg bones.
“Argh!” The pirate leader collapsed to the ground on his knees in pain.
Su Ying raised his huge machete and slashed at his subordinates straightaway.
Su Ying’s strikes were ruthless. She was practically killing one person with each slash. She would never let these pirates leave this island alive. If one day she was no longer here, they would definitely come back to take revenge and kill even more islanders.
Mo Tu hugged Que Que tightly as he watched Su Ying kill the pirates without hesitation. His eyes widened in shock. The fresh blood that splattered out seemed to have stimulated him, and unfamiliar images kept flashing through his mind.
He put Que Que down and grabbed the machete on the ground to join the battle.
Red blood splattered on Su Ying’s face, dyeing her long black hair red and also turning her icy eyes bloodshot.
The pirates would never have thought that in the end, they would die at the hands of a woman.
The pirate leader kneeling on the ground was so shocked that he couldn’t speak. He looked at Su Ying as if he had seen a ghost.
Su Ying swung the machete in her hand and chopped off the head of the last pirate. She turned around and threw the machete in front of the leader. “You’re the only one left.”
The pirate leader had seen too many scenes of life and death, but he did not expect that he would be defeated by a woman in the end. “Give me a chance to live. I will give you everything I have stolen.”
Su Ying walked up and knocked him unconscious. She wanted to keep him alive as he was still useful.
The corpses all over the ground scared the islanders so much that they didn’t dare to come out. Mo Tu looked at the large machete in his hand and was stunned. Was his martial arts skills so powerful?
Su Ying glanced at his white hair that had been dyed red and said, “Your skills are not bad.”
A hint of panic flashed across Mo Tu’s eyes. He quickly threw away the long machete in his hand and turned around to return to Que Que’s side.
“I’ve already dealt with the people for you. You guys can deal with these corpses yourself.”
Su Ying said to the islanders hiding in the shadows.
The islanders looked at Su Ying in horror. Although Su Ying had killed these pirates, the way she killed them just now was too frightening. In addition, she looked unfamiliar. Before they knew where she came from, the islanders did not dare to come out rashly.
Mo Tu said as he stepped forward with Que Que in his arms, “She helped us islanders. Regardless of who she is, we have to thank her.”
At this moment, a middle-aged man finally mustered up his courage and stepped forward. He didn’t dare to look at the corpses on the ground at all. Instead, he looked straight into Su Ying’s eyes and said, “Thank you. Thank you for saving us, heroine. We… we will deal with these people properly. How did you come to our island, heroine?”
“I was washed here by the water. When 1 woke up, I was already here. Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt people for no reason. I just want to find a way to go back.”
Upon hearing Su Ying’s words, the islanders became bolder. After confirming that she wouldn’t harm them, the men walked out one after another and asked the middle-aged man who was talking to Su Ying how he wanted to deal with the corpses. This guy was the island chief.
The island chief asked them to carry the corpses to a small boat and throw them into the sea to feed the fish.
When he saw that the sky was getting dark, the island chief said, “Heroine, if you don’t mind, you can stay on the island tonight.”
“Alright.”
“Big Sister, do you want to stay at my house?” Que Que could hear the voices of the adults talking and knew that Su Ying was going to stay on the island tonight. She couldn’t resist asking.
Su Ying glanced at her and thought of Ling, so she agreed. “Alright.”
The male islanders stayed behind to clean up the corpses of the pirates, while Su Ying dragged the pirate leader to Que Que’s house.
Thereafter, she threw him into the courtyard, pulled open his mouth, and stuffed a pill into it.
“Big Sister, what are you doing?” Su Ying turned around and met the innocent eyes of the Que Que.
“Nothing much. I fed him a medicinal pill to make him behave at night.”
“Big Sister, hug me.” Que Que suddenly extended her arms to Su Ying.
As Su Ying looked at her, she felt a little sad. She suddenly missed her two children dearly and wondered how they were doing now.
This child had just suffered a tremendous fright. Her heart must be at its most sensitive and fragile moment now. She reached out and picked the child up.
Que Que leaned against her shoulder. “Big Sister, Big Sister, I’m so scared. Big Sister…”
Su Ying comforted her softly. “Don’t be afraid. Everything will be fine now.”
“Big Sister, you really look like my big sister.”
Su Ying carried her into the house and sat down.
There were a total of four wooden houses in this courtyard. Judging from the state of the external walls, the houses seemed to have been around for a long time. Although they looked a little old, the houses were very clean inside.
“Your big sister?”
Que Que nodded. “It’s just that Big Sister and the others are not around anymore.”
Su Ying was a little surprised. Indeed, she had not seen the child’s other family members.
“Where are your parents and big sister?”
The moment Su Ying asked this, Que Que’s eyes became red-rimmed. “They… they were all killed by pirates. Sob, sob, sob… 1… I’m the only one left. It’s Big Brother… Big Brother saved me…”
Su Ying was stunned. That white-haired man was actually not Que Que’s biological brother.
Su Ying thought back to the time when he had joined her to slay those pirates. Those martial arts techniques seemed a little familiar.
However, she had taken part in too many battles and could not remember where she had seen those techniques before.
“Wasn’t your big brother an islander previously?” Su Ying asked softly.
Que Que shook her head and answered, “No, Big Brother isn’t. He was washed up on the island just like Big Sister.”
“How long has it been?”
“Last year. Big Brother arrived last year.”
As they spoke, Mo Tu walked in. “I’ve boiled some hot water. Go and wash up.” This was directed at Su Ying. She was covered in blood and certainly did not look too nice.
“Alright.”
Su Ying stood up and handed Que Que over to him before turning around and leaving the room.
“Big Brother, this Big Sister is such a good person,” Que Que said softly as she leaned on Mo Tu’s shoulder.
Mo Tu stared at Su Ying in a daze.. Was she good? How could a good person take the lives of so many people without even blinking?
