Chapter 473 Fighting the Pirates
Wang Wenzhou couldn't understand the Korean spoken by Park Jin, but Li Mei could.
Upon hearing this, Li Mei's expression changed. She grabbed Wang Wenzhou's arm and said worriedly, "Husband, something bad has happened! We've encountered Japanese pirates!"
In this era, Wokou were pirates, and pirates were synonymous with Wokou. Whether it was Korea or the Ming Dynasty, the so-called Wokou were mostly people from the Ming Dynasty and Korea. There were really not many Japanese. The reason they were called Wokou was because local officials of the Ming Dynasty wanted to shirk responsibility.
From the perspective of local officials, driving the local people to piracy and leaving them with no other means of survival could lead to repercussions from the imperial court. However, by labeling the locals as Japanese, they became a hostile foreign force. The act of local officials confronting a hostile foreign force suddenly became much more dignified.
Jin Jizhong said with a smile, "Don't worry, they are not real pirates, but a few young men on the island who are good at bullying others and spend their days idly robbing fishermen of their catch. One of them is my student. With me here, they dare not cause any trouble."
Wang Wenzhou nodded, thinking that what had arrived was probably a Korean version of a thug.
In a short while, the "pirate ship" sailed over, carrying six young men: four rowing and two holding sticks.
Jin Jizhong scolded, "Zheng Xin, it really is you! You have disappointed your master greatly."
Zheng Xin quickly put down the stick in his hand, cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Teacher, please don't be angry. I was just out fishing with my friends when I had nothing to do."
Jin Jizhong said irritably, "A stick for fishing?"
"Wow!" exclaimed another young man holding a stick, excitedly adding, "What a beautiful girl!"
Wang Wenzhou couldn't understand Korean and had no idea what they were saying. He figured that since Kim Ji-chung knew these hooligans, nothing bad should happen to him.
Park Heung-fa stared blankly at Li Mei, his eyes glazed over. The island didn't have a large population, and he'd never seen a girl as beautiful as Li Mei before. Suddenly, a wicked thought crossed his mind. The ocean was so vast; if a few people died at sea, no one would know.
Thinking of this, Park Heung-fa tugged at Zheng Xin's arm and said to the guys, "Brothers, these two girls are so beautiful, don't you want to sleep with them?"
Upon hearing this, the other four friends' eyes lit up. What man wouldn't want to sleep with a pretty girl?
Zheng Xin frowned, and said with some concern, "Our teacher is a scholar who will surely become an official in the future. How can we do such a shameful thing in front of him?"
Park Heung-fa said coldly, "I've disliked Kim Gil-chung for a long time. That old bastard, just because he's been to school for a few years and knows some officials, he scolds us all the time, and we don't dare to do anything to him. If it weren't for such a beautiful girl, it would be fine, but such a beautiful girl is right in front of us. If we miss this opportunity, we'll probably regret it for the rest of our lives!"
"That's right!" Jin Li, the most robust and muscular of the six, said coldly, "Let's go all the way and kill these men and steal the two girls!"
"Gentlemen! You can't do this!" Zheng Xin quickly advised.
Park Heung-fa said in an unquestionable tone, "Jung Xin, do you still consider us brothers?"
Zheng Xin had received some education, and although he often fooled around with his friends, he would never dare to commit murder.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade his friends, Zheng Xin quickly shouted to Jin Jizhong, "Teacher, run! They want to..."
Before Zheng Xin could finish speaking, Jin Li rushed forward and punched him in the face. Then, taking advantage of Zheng Xin's dizziness, Jin Li forcefully strangled him. At first, Zheng Xin struggled a few times, but soon he became motionless, strangled to death by Jin Li.
Wang Wenzhou and the others were dumbfounded. These people were ruthless killers, even killing their own people.
Jin Jizhong shouted immediately, "Run!"
Park Jin quickly picked up the oars and rowed the boat with all his might.
When Park Heung-fa saw that the girl was about to die, he became frantic and quickly rowed after her.
Wang Wenzhou frowned and asked in confusion, "Brother Jin, what happened to those people on the ship? Why did they even kill their own people?"
"Sigh..." Jin Jizhong sighed and said angrily, "These bastards, they got lustful at first sight."
Upon hearing this, Qi Siyan's eyes immediately reddened. She felt extremely guilty, blaming herself for everything. Ever since her husband met her, he had been plagued by a curse, with one bad thing after another happening to him.
"Stop the boat! I'll go with them and ask them to let you go," Qi Siyan said, her voice trembling with tears.
"No way!" Wang Wenzhou quickly said, "Little Yan Yan, be good. I'm a man, how can I sell my own baby?"
Jin Jizhong said admiringly, "I truly admire your deep affection for Young Master Wang! However, even if you were to submit to the thieves, they would not let us go."
"Why?" Qi Siyan asked, "Don't they just want me?"
"Sigh..." Jin Jizhong said with a wry smile, "They're not stupid. With actions like that, why would they leave any survivors?"
"Phew..." Wang Wenzhou let out a deep breath. He was really afraid that Jin Jizhong would sell him out to save his own life. Now it seemed that Jin Jizhong and he were truly in the same boat.
The "pirate ship" quickly caught up.
Wang Wenzhou immediately stood up, picked up the oar, and said coldly, "There's only one way now: fight them!"
Kim Gil-chung and Park Jin also picked up oars, ready to fight to the death.
"Brothers, the pretty girl is right in front of us, let's go!" Park Heung-fa shouted, swinging his stick as he jumped onto Wang Wen-zhou's boat.
Seeing that they were about to sleep with the pretty girl, Park Heung-fa's friends rushed forward one after another.
Wang Wenzhou and his men were equally determined. When two armies meet, the brave will prevail! If they didn't fight to the death now, they would only face certain death.
The group immediately started fighting.
"Woof woof woof!" Huang Taiji barked wildly a few times as if he understood human nature, then jumped up and pounced on Jin Li, biting Jin Li's thigh.
In an instant, the strongest amateur pirate was wounded.
Jin Li endured the excruciating pain, drew his dagger, and engaged Huang Taiji in battle.
Although Li Mei was from South Korea, she was a well-bred young lady who had never been in a fight before. Terrified and at a loss, she cried and shouted, "Stop fighting! I'll go with you, okay!"
Park Heung-fa and his gang had already made up their minds to kidnap the girl and kill her to silence her. Even if the girl pleaded for mercy now, they could not leave her alive.
Wang Wenzhou regretted it deeply. He had encountered danger repeatedly since transmigrating, but he was too lazy to learn martial arts. If he had practiced martial arts, he would definitely have become a hero in front of Bao Bao. But now, although he was not a coward, he had just been hit on the head by Park Heung-fa with a stick, and his head was broken, with blood flowing all over his face.
Seeing Wang Wenzhou in such a state, Qi Siyan felt heartbroken. She wiped away her tears, mustered her courage, and rushed forward. Having never been in a fight before, she was immediately pushed to the ground by one of Park Heung-fa's friends.
Qi Siyan rolled over and landed right at Park Xingfa's feet. She took the opportunity to grab Park Xingfa's thigh tightly and bite it.
"Ouch!" Park Heung-fa winced in pain.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wang Wenzhou struck Park Heung-fa on the back with a stick, causing Park Heung-fa to stumble and fall to the ground.
"Come help!" Park Heung-fa quickly called out to his friends.
One of Jin Jizhong's friends, who was bullying him three against two, rushed over to Wang Wenzhou and started fighting with him.
