Chapter 568 Beat them until they're scared
The waiter replied, "The pirates are attacking. The manager and Brother Liu have already led the men to the front to rescue people. They were worried that if you, the boss, came, there would be no one to meet you, so they told me to stay and wait."
Lin Chang'er nodded to indicate that she understood, then glanced at the restaurant and asked, "Do they know martial arts?"
The waiter nodded. "We came from the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, so we have to know a thing or two."
Lin Chang'er hummed in agreement. "Then what are we waiting for? Grab your weapons and come with me to the front."
The signal fireworks have already been set off, three in total. Chen Ming has already gone back to report the news, and Wu Qingfeng happens to be in the village, so he will definitely bring people over.
A fierce battle is inevitable tonight. These inanimate objects in the restaurant can only be saved if we can drive away the pirates and extinguish the fire in front. Otherwise, we will not be able to take them with us.
In the current situation, everyone is too busy to think about anything else, including money.
In conclusion, only by driving away the pirates could the restaurant have a chance to survive.
Actually, she owns several shops in town!
Fortunately, the town was close to the village, so Xiaomei and Chunhua never stayed overnight at the shop. However, Lin Chang'er suddenly remembered something...
At that moment, the waiter chuckled and casually picked up his sword from the doorway, saying, "We've been waiting for you!"
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Chang'er opened the door again, then suddenly remembered something, "Come with me somewhere first."
There was no one to look after her own shop, but Sister-in-law Gu's family lived in town, didn't they?
Without thinking any further, Lin Chang'er had already jumped over the threshold and quickly found her way to Sister-in-law Gu's house.
At the same time, in Linshui Village, Wu Qingfeng immediately took action upon receiving the first signal fire.
Normally, Huo Lao was still in charge of the coastal defense team, with Zhou Hai as his deputy. However, with Wu Qingfeng around, Huo Lao naturally stepped down and handed over command to him.
Old Huo did this not only because he was still a county magistrate, but also because he had shared life and death with the villagers of Linshui Village.
Whether it was good luck or the courage to cause chaos wherever he went, he was caught in the crossfire almost every time the pirates landed.
Moreover, in the initial struggle, he and Chang'er were always at the forefront, practically the main fighting force.
To be honest, the reason why Linshui Village is still peaceful is twofold: firstly, because of Chang'er, and secondly, because of him.
Because of this relationship, the men of the coastal defense team respected him.
The men on the coast guard side had also taken a basic course and knew about signal fireworks.
So, after Lin Chang'er launched the first firework, the men who saw the signal spontaneously ran among their neighbors. When the familiar sound of the gong rang out, they had already gathered together at the threshing ground in front of the ancestral hall.
This greatly increased the speed of reinforcements.
Wu Qingfeng called out the men, and Zhou Hai distributed weapons to Huo Lao.
Upon hearing the news, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Beishan rushed over and immediately wanted to join the group.
Wu Qingfeng knew the abilities of these two men, but compared to charging into battle, their value in building ships in the dock was much greater.
Therefore, Wu Qingfeng instinctively wanted the two to stay in the village and wait.
Lin Beishan saw through his little scheme at a glance and spoke up before he could, "Chang'er is still in town, so we can't stay here with peace of mind. At most, we can promise you we won't go ashore."
Not directly participating in the war is already their bottom line.
This puzzled Wu Qingfeng. "Not going ashore? Are we going to fight this battle in the sea?"
What suddenly came to mind?
"Does Uncle and Aunt mean tonight?"
Lin Beishan scoffed, "The ships are already built, are we just going to hide them in the dock and watch? They've delivered themselves to our doorstep, might as well take advantage of them!" If we're going to take advantage, we'll take advantage until they're scared.
