Chapter 6 Chapter Six
Min Sanjiang spent his whole life in the rivers and lakes, any vicious person, all the bullies in the rivers and lakes can handle them all, but the four monsters of the Fang family made him feel chilling.
Qiu Yisen said: "Third Master, since you are afraid of the four monsters of Fang's family, and the matter has come to an end, why don't you get rid of those clichés in the world and ask the government's security agency to solve the problem?"
Min Sanjiang roared: "I, Min, have been a hero all my life, how can I become a bear at this age?"
"Since this is the case, what is there to be afraid of? Soldiers come to block them, and water comes to cover them! Just kill them and go back!"
Min Sanjiang hesitated. "I don't care about Yuan Mazi, but the 'Four Monsters of the Fang Family' can do all kinds of tricks!"
"It's not a big deal. Since you are not afraid of Yuan Mazi, you are only afraid of dealing with the 'Fang Family Four Monsters', then accept their terms and compensate Fang Dingwei's life, and the problem will be completely solved. Believe in the 'Fang Family Four Monsters' The conditions will not be harsher than Yuan Mazi!"
Min Sanjiang groaned and said: "Shame! Shame! Yuan Dazi is still a brother of my gang, and the 'Fang Family Four Monsters' are his helpers. If I surrender to their four brothers, I will still have a lifetime of fame and ruin it. , I won't do it!"
"Then let's do it to the end!" Qiu Yisen said.
Min Sanjiang immediately ordered Hua Yundao to recruit all the gunmen under the name of Zhou Zhilong and the native warriors under the control of Hardemen, and announced: "From now on, we must step up our patrols, and don't let the pirates wait for the opportunity to enter the 'Min's Garden. 'Anywhere!"
The order passed on, not only did not take effect, but instead made the internal emotions tense. Instead, the "Min Family Garden" was in panic, everyone was almost frightened, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.Min Sanjiang also personally patrols at night.
Qiu Yisen sighed and said: "Everything that the third master arranged is not a solution!"
Min Sanjiang said: "We have always been in the position of being beaten. Apart from working hard on defense, is there any other better way? Brother Qiu, the friendship between you and me is like a brother, except you teach me Apart from reporting the case to the Philippine authorities, I can listen to you for anything!"
Qiu Yisen said: "For these natives, we should still treat them as underage children. Do you think these children can handle pirates? Third Master, you have sacrificed more than one life. If you go on, how many lives are you going to use?" To fill this account?"
Min Sanjiang said: "I have closed the mountain for many years, and there are really no personnel to deploy!"
"A man is responsible for everything, so why use a child as a sacrifice?"
"It's easy for you to say! In case the 'Fang Clan's Four Freaks' gather Yuan Mazi's remnant gang to attack us, at least these children can give me a head start!"
Qiu Yisen laughed loudly: "Third Master, you let these children work for you, how much do you pay them for a day?"
Min Sanjiang said: "The price is not lower than the salary of any job. Each person can earn 30 pesos a month for one peso a day!"
"But it's desperate!"
"If you are injured, I will pay for the medical expenses, and I will give another 30 pesos, and if you die, you will get 100 pesos! For these native children, this is already very generous treatment!"
Qiu Yisen said: "Among you native children, if there is a child who is bought for ten pesos a day, will he listen to you or someone else?"
"Brother Qiu, your thinking is too terrifying!"
"This is a very real problem. This world is supposed to be realistic! It is profitable and can destroy the whole situation!"
Min Sanjiang hesitated for a while, and said, "According to your opinion, I should dismiss all the native children? The 'Min's Garden' occupies a huge area, and border patrols need someone!"
Qiu Yisen said: "It's hard to say. As the saying goes, it's better to be short than to be overabundant! Those native children should be carefully selected. Only with the consent of their families will there be no future troubles! Third Master, you are already in a situation of being besieged on all sides, internal worries Foreign aggression, how many clues there are, I can't count. One thought, the whole situation may be overthrown, and when the time comes, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
Min Sanjiang was displeased and said, "Besides the pirates, how many worries do I have?"
Qiu Yisen said: "Third Master, you are also an old Jianghu! I don't want to say more, think about it yourself, it's not difficult to understand the truth!"
Min Sanjiang was in a difficult situation, so he had to listen to what Qiu Yisen said, and dismissed most of the native children; except for Hadman who can guarantee that their families will have no problems, and they will definitely be loyal to the "Min Family Garden" !
Qin Wenma went back to M City, leaving behind Zhou Zhilong's group.Min Sanjiang asked Hua Yundao to sign a contract with them one by one, indicating the casualty compensation fee and signing it, and dispatched this group of people to the front line of coastal defense.
The native children are distributed as the second line.Qiu Yisen and the three daughters of the Min family, as well as Hua Yundao, Shao Atong, Ke Pincong and others, were assigned as the third line.Take turns protecting the building from pirates.
Qiu Yisen's hard work made many people feel dissatisfied.After all, he is an outsider and has nothing to do with the "Min family", so even Jin Gu is dissatisfied with him.
Seeing Min Sanjiang's personal relationship with him, Qiu Yisen worked hard without complaining, without giving any explanation.
In the entire "Min's Garden", except for Feng Gu, no one seems to be friendly to him.
Qiu Yisen didn't care, anyway, the layout of "Min's Garden" was the same at best, he just waited for the pirates to attack, and then acted accordingly.
After two days in a row, unexpectedly, the pirates didn't even move at all.
In the early morning of the third day, the Tufan children guarding the gate of the "Min's Garden" reported that the three brothers among the "Four Fang Family Monsters" handed in "Worship Cards" and wanted to pay a visit to Min Sanjiang.
The "Bai Men Tie" was written on big red paper:
This kind of "door worship post" is different from the "door worship post" handed out by the four monsters of the Fang family for the first time.Last time, it was the passing by of the same generation, a courtesy call; this time, it was the younger generation presenting to the older generation.According to gang rules, even seniors who "retire from the mountains" have to see each other, because it may be that the juniors have something to pray for in distress.
If it is said that Min Sanjiang broke away from the gang and "closed the mountain" to go back to seclusion, completely separated from the "jianghu", then there is nothing to say.You can close the door and ask them to avoid it, send travel expenses, and teach them to find another way to find their "helper" to solve the problem.
However, Min Sanjiang has retired for many years and has not officially announced the "recovery of mountains".At the same time, Min Sanjiang still clings to the "river and lake" after "washing his hands". He still regards himself as a big brother, and he will send away any brothers who are killed when they cross the border.
Under such circumstances, Min Sanjiang could not refuse the third brother of the Fang family.
Hua Yundao was dissatisfied and said: "Why didn't Fang Long come, this guy is really unreasonable!"
Qiu Yisen said: "They have a guilty conscience and left one person as a hostage in case we don't let their three brothers get out of the 'Min's Garden'!"
"Maybe they have a chance to retreat!" Min Sanjiang said, and immediately sent down an order to invite the three brothers to enter the garden. At the same time, no one was allowed to behave rudely to the three brothers of the Fang family.
Hua Yundao said: "Several of Yuan Dazi's brothers walked into the 'Min's Garden' and died for no apparent reason! What is the use of your order? It is better to get rid of them, so as not to provoke this unnecessary enmity!"
Min Sanjiang refused, saying: "Doesn't that make us look too cowardly!"
"What if one of the three brothers walks in and one of them has an accident?" Hua Yundao said.
"If I find out who did it, I will serve you with family law!"
Hua Yundao knew that Min Sanjiang could not be persuaded, so he had to personally drive to the gate of the garden to welcome the three brothers of the Fang family into the garden.
After the "Three Freaks of the Fang Family" entered the building, Zhou Zhilong and his gunmen spread around the building one after another, but Min Sanjiang had already sent an order to tell them not to act rashly.
The three brothers sat down in the living room.Min Sanjiang still entertained VIPs, asking Moluo and Shao Atong to serve them tea and cigarettes.
The mouthless Fang Bao was the one who talked the most. He opened the chatter box first and said, "We are here for our old cousin Fang Dingwei. I heard that he disappeared after he walked into the 'Min's Garden'!"
Min Sanjiang said: "Indeed, Fang Dingwei once came to my place, but after he walked out of my gate, he didn't know where he was."
Fang Bao added: "But according to Yuan Mazi, Fang Dingwei did not walk out of the gate of the 'Min's Garden', he disappeared inside the 'Min's Garden'!"
"Who said that?" Min Sanjiang asked wide-eyed.
"Yuan Mazi said it!" Fang Bao said.
Min Sanjiang was furious, and said: "If Yuan Dazi insisted on it, you believe Yuan Dazi's words, I would not talk to you more! You can do whatever you like!" After finishing speaking, he picked up the teacup with both hands , said loudly: "See off!"
With the sound of "seeing off the guests", Shao Atong and Hua Yundao immediately moved, and they both clasped their fists at the same time and approached the three brothers of the Fang family, saying: "The third master has already said that he ordered me to see off the guests!"
The "three monsters" of the Fang family looked at each other, feeling very embarrassed. After a long while, Fang Hu held the steel hook with one hand and said, "Don't be angry, Mr. Min, my younger brother Fang Bao is short-mouthed, he talks a lot, and It's the most inappropriate thing to say. If the words don't convey the meaning, please forgive me!"
Mr. Min knew that the "three monsters of the Fang family" would definitely do this, so he said, "I'm not surprised because your elder brother is not here, but your bad-mouthed fellow is too irritating!"
At this time, Fang Bao was humiliated face to face, but he didn't even dare to fart.
It was still Fang Hu who said: "My younger brother is young and ignorant, Mr. Min is an adult and does not remember the faults of a villain, and the prime minister is easy to puncture, just forgive him once!"
Min Sanjiang said: "What exactly do you want, just say it straight, don't beat around the bush!"
Fang Hu said bluntly: "We were 'rooted' by China and exiled here. We want to ask for some money to cross the border!"
"That's easy, just send you four brothers!" Third Master Min said, "How much do you need?"
Fang Bao said: "To be honest with the third master, our brothers originally had a broken sail, and we sailed across the ocean, and it all depended on it. It was only because when we arrived at Island C, someone disliked him and sunk it. , we have nothing to do!"
Min Sanjiang was very unconvinced and said, "Who sank it!"
Fang Bao then pointed to Qiu Yisen beside Min Sanjiang and said, "That's the 'old fox' standing beside you! We have no grievances or enmities with him. 'Sea people' take boats as their home. destroyed?"
Qiu Yisen laughed slyly and said: "You are so poor and boring, why do you say that I smashed your 'nest'? In fact, the four brothers of your Fang family have been selling stinky signs on the rivers and lakes to scare people! Today I made a mistake. Wharf, broke into Mr. Min’s territory, isn’t it just asking for trouble? Mr. Min will not listen to your tricks! I will not bear the compensation for your shipwreck!”
"Qiu Yisen, can you deny that the 'Fang Jihao' is not yours?" Fang Du suddenly stood up and said, "Ming people don't do secret things! Qiu Yisen, you are also a self-proclaimed character, why are you sneaking?"
Qiu Yisen said: "I take care of each other with all my heart, I want to take care of someone."
Fang Bao rushed to say: "From this point of view, Qiu Yisen still has nothing to do! What he does is not open and aboveboard, he is simply a sneaky person!"
Qiu Yisen laughed loudly: "People who eat ocean food take boats as their homes. Your brothers surnamed Fang, who hang out on the ocean, seem to be a little famous. Who knows that it's just a show, and even the 'home' is regarded as a "home" by others. It’s ruined, and it’s not proper to come here to spread wild words and ‘talk’? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by friends on the ocean?”
Fang Du was furious and said, "We are here to ask for a boat."
Qiu Yisen scratched his scalp and said, "In Min's garden, there are no boats, but there are plenty of mango pits!"
As soon as this remark came out, all the people present laughed out loud at the same time, and the three brothers who were nicknamed "monsters" were ashamed.
Min Fenggu was always unwilling to be lonely, so she interjected: "If the three of you are really homeless, we can show mercy and take you three here to sweep mango pits!"
Min Sanjiang scolded: "Girl, don't talk too much!"
Fang Bao spit and said, "Miss San, we will remember your words!"
Hua Yundao said sternly: "Look! When the brothers of the Fang family can't compete with men, they will find women to be unlucky! Now that the eldest brother has explained what he said, do you have any more requests?"
Fang Hu said again: "We still want to ask for that boat!"
Qiu Yisen said: "No one here owes any of you anything!"
Fang Hu raised the steel hook in his hand angrily and said, "Could it be that Fang Dingwei just doesn't know why and whereabouts are unknown?"
Min Sanjiang suddenly stopped everyone talking, and put forward his opinion: "Looking at the situation of your brothers, I also sympathize. Stop using Fang Dingwei as an excuse. If anyone finds Fang Dingwei's body in my garden, Fang Dingwei's burial I will be responsible for the childbirth of you and his relatives! As for your four brothers who are short of money, please come and talk to me personally, and I can give you Sichuan funds to return to your hometown. If it is said that it is a means of intimidation and blackmail, my surname is Min I don’t want to be like this all my life!” After speaking, Third Master Min took up the teacup for the second time and ordered to see off the guests.
The negotiation did not end, Fang Hu was in a hurry, he wanted to stay and harass Mr. Min, so he accidentally raised the steel hook and said, "Wait a minute..."
The people standing around Min Sanjiang immediately moved. Shao Atong first raised the flying knife in his hand, Hua Yundao unsheathed his two guns, and the three young ladies of the Min family also held their swords and guns in their hands...
The three brothers of the Fang family looked at each other, but Fang Bao said calmly: "Hmph! No wonder some people say that whoever walks into the gate of the 'Min's Garden' can never get out alive!"
Hua Yundao said, "Don't worry, Brother Min has already taken care of you, teaching you to come in alive and get out alive. But if you don't want to live, no one can tell!"
"Many people eat few people, the three of us are devastated! Don't make fun of yourself, let's go!" Fang Bao, who was short of mouth, spit out his saliva.
"Depending on the situation, we still have to ask our eldest brother to come forward!" Fang Hu said.
"It's hard to say, maybe the next time we come again, we don't have to hand over door invitations!" Fang Du stammered.
"Let's go! You guys don't need to be talkative anymore, let's stop talking!" Hua Yundao advised: "It's useless to talk too much!"
"Brother Hua Yundao, will you still send us out of the gate of the 'Min's Garden'?" Fang Hu still showed his courage and said, "If you want to kill us, let's kill our three brothers together. Don't 'kill' one or two of us. We have the habit of coming and going together, if we want to live we all live together, if we want to die we all die together! If one or two people are killed or injured, it is so sad to go out alone!"
Hua Yundao said coldly: "There will always be a day when you brothers will no longer be called the 'Four Monsters', and you will beg for forgiveness incompletely, and just ask for a way to survive and leave Island C!"
"Hua Yundao, don't be too cruel, maybe one day you will beg us to let you live!" Fang Hu raised his steel hook and said.
"At that time, let's all figure it out!" Hua Yundao said: "Please get in the car, if you three brothers want to walk out of the 'Min's Garden' on your own, you may be decapitated in less than half of the way! "
"I didn't expect the name 'Min's Garden' to sound good, but it's actually a slaughterhouse!" Fang Bao said, spouting his saliva.
When the three brothers of the Fang family were walking out of the gate of the building, with Fang Hu leading the way, they were about to step into the classic car on Huayun Road, when they suddenly shouted delicately: "Fang family monster, watch the knife!" The technique, followed by three throwing knives and the sound of the gust of wind, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three bright flying knives brushed the scalps of the three of them.Fang Hu's part was standing in a relatively open place, and the throwing knife fell on the grass; Fang Leopard's head was inserted into a palm tree; It was nailed to the door.
Fang Duyuan was a well-known figure who practiced throwing knives, how could he be willing to eat such "crap", and immediately took out throwing knives.
But Hua Yundao moved faster than him, and immediately a short gun was pressed against his waist, and he said: "What's wrong, as the saying goes, good men don't fight with women! Girls are teasing you, I'm really angry No?"
When the three brothers looked closely, the one who threw the throwing knife was actually Min Sanjiang's third miss, Min Fenggu.
This yellow-haired girl was completely showing off her abilities. After throwing the three throwing knives, she stood there with her hands on her waist and watched the reactions of the three "monsters".
"Damn it, we don't come if we are afraid, and we are not afraid of those who come, because we are afraid that you, a yellow-haired girl, will fail?" Fang Bao said, spitting.
Fang Du chuckled and said: "Brother Hua Yundao said that if a good man doesn't fight with a woman, we'll just treat him as weak! But having said that, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. Min Sanjiang's youngest daughter There is also this hand exposed, no wonder this big dad is showing his teeth and claws, and he doesn't pay attention to us!"
There was another whoosh, and a flying knife passed by Fang Du's face, drawing a bloodstain.It was Shao Atong who moved his hand, and the sharp "Min's Knife" was inserted into the door again.
Shao Atong said: "When you mention the uncle of our Min family, you should be more polite!"
The three brothers of the Fang family didn't expect that everyone in the "Min's Garden" had special skills; they came here to play wild, and now they felt that the situation was wrong, so they could only accept it.
Fang Hu said: "Let's go, don't watch them demonstrate on the ground again, in fact, these are all bullying laymen!"
"The next time we have a chance to come back, we will show you our tricks!" Fang Bao said.
"Let's get out of the 'Min's Garden' mansion alive first!" Fang Hu said.
"The next time you come in, it won't be so cheap!" Hua Yundao said, turned on the motor, and the car sped away.
"Min's Garden" is peaceful, and there is nothing unusual during the day, but after nightfall, almost everyone is emotionally disturbed. Zhou Zhilong and a group of his brothers were dispatched to guard the "front line" along the coast. Although they were educated in a civilized society, they had never served in the military, and they guarded the front line with guns like soldiers. Position, strictly guard against hostile changes.They are also considered to be very calm, able to keep calm and guard, and if there is any trouble, they will get in touch immediately and deal with it together. Due to the psychology of fear, the "Min's Garden" was always in turmoil. Those loose gangsters would immediately report to their accomplices whenever there was any unexpected sound. If you don't fight, you will be in chaos. This is because everyone has no combat experience. Qiu Yisen asked Min Sanjiang to teach Hua Yundao to personally supervise the battle. Hua Yundao was born as a pirate and had rich experience and could handle it. But it was very strange, they seemed to be tense for a while, and the pirates didn't even move at all. The quieter the pirates were, the more disturbed the "Min's Garden" became. Qiu Yisen keeps in touch with Bafanu and Lei Nuo every day, and asks these two children to pass on news to him. What surprised them most was that the pirates disappeared without a trace. After the "four monsters of the Fang family" combined with Yuan Mazi, they lost their whereabouts. Even though Bafanu was very familiar with the sea boat gang on Island C, they couldn't find their whereabouts. Where did Yuan Mazi's two boats hide?They will no longer stay in "Momo Island", and they will no longer be in Penang Reef. Where are they hiding? Because of the mysterious whereabouts of the pirates, what conspiracy plans do they have?unknown. It was night, the climate on the ocean had changed, and the Meteorological Office had issued a typhoon warning. It was a small typhoon passing through. "Min's Garden" has experience in preventing typhoons. The most important thing is to protect the orchard and prevent wires from catching fire, because the orchard is not a joke when it is on fire. The closer the typhoon is, the more patrols in the orchard will be stepped up. Qiu Yisen especially suggested to Min Sanjiang: "Be careful that the pirates use the cover of the typhoon to attack us, and we will be caught off guard, so the most careful thing is to go to the coast tonight!" Hua Yundao and Zhou Zhilong had a special discussion, and dispatched several more savvy gunmen to the "front line" defense.In addition, each person has two native children to do liaison work with them. A mild typhoon struck, bringing wind and drizzle, and white waves on the ocean.Everyone defending the coast is crying and cowering in thatched tents. Since there is always the danger of pirates attacking, if there is any trouble, they have to rush out of the hut to check. Zhou Zhilong is respected as the eldest brother among his group of children, but he is a courageous and gangster.Usually scaring ordinary gamblers and unorganized rascals can be said to be well-organized and methodical; now it is like facing a "big battlefield", ready to welcome the attack of pirates at any time, life and death are only in the blink of an eye, it is inevitable Terrified. The typhoon passed by, the wind was rumbling, and the raindrops were like beans. The temporary hut that was erected by the trees on the coast was crumbling, and the roof might be torn off at any time. The roof and walls were leaking. Zhou Zhilong and Hua Yundao inspected the place separately, while Peng Peng stayed inside the hut. Zhou Zhilong was trembling, huddled in a corner of the hut, trying to avoid the sudden rain and cold. Peng Peng said to him: "Brother Zhou, you seem to be a bit overwhelmed! How about drinking a sip of wine to suppress the cold?" When he said that, he took out a small pocket wine bottle, which was "brandy".Uncapped the bottle and put it into Zhou Zhilong's mouth. As the eldest brother, Zhou Zhilong cursed and said: "Damn, I taught you to watch the night, but you are drinking here!" Peng Peng said: "What is this small bottle of wine? I use it to drive away the cold!" In fact, Zhou Zhilong was timid himself, swallowed, put the mouth of the bottle to his mouth, and drank the brandy in one gulp.Wiping his lips, coughing and sighing, he seemed to feel overwhelmed. "Why didn't Brother Zhou go back to Port M with Qin Wenma? This place is not a place to keep people!" Peng Peng gossiped. Zhou Zhilong glared at Peng Peng and said, "Since you said that, why didn't you leave?" Peng Peng said with a smile: "I have a new friend and I can't bear to leave..." "Hmph, you must be referring to Qiu Yisen. In fact, what good does Qiu Yisen do to you?" Zhou Zhilong said jealously. "Well, in terms of Jianghu, Boss Qiu is worthy of being a leader. His command is orderly and orderly, and he will not be chaotic when he is in danger..." "Damn it, you're cursing me for being confused!" "Brother Zhou, at least you can't hold your breath!" Zhou Zhilong was furious.In fact, Zhou Zhilong was full of grievances.Before leaving, Qin Wenma entrusted him with all the heavy responsibilities. Zhou Zhilong also knew that if Qin Wenma couldn't get land before his father-in-law on Island C, then his "Nakano Hotel" would be doomed. Zhou Zhilong is also a figure who lost power in the "underworld" of Port M. Qin Wenma promised to let him become one of the shareholders of "Nakano Casino". s reason. A man's courage is encouraged, but courage is born.Zhou Zhilong's background was a rascal from a loose gang, and he had no experience in facing a big enemy. In this kind of situation, he had to show his true colors. Zhou Zhilong was very annoyed when Peng Peng exposed his "hole card". "Bastard! I'm not broken yet! Qiu Yisen is an old thief who washed his hands of the rivers and lakes. You can become a monk with him..." The storm is coming closer and closer.Suddenly, amidst the wind and rain, there was a frantic and brutal cry. This strange cry is definitely not the strange cry of ordinary people, it seems to have a few words in Moro language. Zhou Zhilong and Peng Peng were terrified and rushed out of the hut in the rain.With a whistling sound, a poison dart flew towards Zhou Zhilong. Fortunately, due to the slippery water on the ground, Zhou Zhilong slipped hastily, and the poison dart hit the treetop, otherwise Zhou Zhilong would have lived till now. Peng Peng rushed forward to lift Zhou Zhilong up.It was raining heavily, the lights were dim, and the vision in all directions was blurred. Peng Peng's eyes were still sharp, and a burst of leaves were reflected. About seventy or eighty yards away from them, a group of black shadows were rushing towards the seashore. "Hi, it's Moluo Shengfan..." The native child in charge of contacting them has already screamed. With a crackling sound, a native Changge flew in their direction.Because the strength was not enough and the shot was not accurate, it was inserted into a mango tree.The mango tree was shaken, and a branch and several mangoes fell down. Peng Peng was not polite, he raised his pistol, and in the posture of a quick shooter, "bang, bang, bang..." he fired randomly. In an instant, those shadows all disappeared. Zhou Zhilong got up in shock just as he got up, only to hear the strange yelling of the Moluo people still, and the yelling became hoarse one after another. Zhou Zhilong and Peng Peng turned on the flashlights and followed the sound to find the past.It was an animal trap under the dense green shade of the mango orchard, and a steel animal trap buried in the ground with an iron chain clamped the calf of a Moro native.His body was dripping with blood, and there were as many as five or six wounds. This is the habit of the Moro warriors. Whenever they are in danger, if they cannot escape, the warriors who come with them will kill him to prevent him from falling into the hands of the enemy. The native who had his legs caught in the trap was covered with scars, bloody and bloody, all of which were stabbed with knives and spears by his companions who came with him. If it hadn't been for Peng Peng's random shooting to scare away this group of terrible barbarians, I believe this guy would have survived. The heavy rain was dripping down, and the bruised man still raised his raw iron rusty knife, fighting like a trapped beast, slashing wildly at the people who came around him. If his foot hadn't been caught by the animal trap, Zhou Zhilong and Peng Peng might have suffered a lot. Peng Peng raised his gun and cursed: "Fucking bastard, just give him one shot and two holes!" Zhou Zhilong hurriedly stopped him and said, "Strange, this is the second time these strangers have come to Island C. Could it be that the pirates have united with them?" Peng Peng said: "This is out of place. It is impossible for the pirates to have any relationship with the Moro people..." "But why do they keep attacking?" Zhou Zhilong said. Peng Peng was not happy to see the native looking like he was desperately fighting for his life, so he shot "bang" to the native's wrist.Tu Fan was wounded and fell down, and the rusty knife in his hand fell off.At the very least, his hand is useless. Peng Peng's methods are also too cruel, but this is also the sense of superiority between human beings. A slightly "progressive" nation must despise backward nations.Peng Peng couldn't see this dying native baring his teeth and claws at him with a rusty knife, so he shot him. When Peng Peng chased those escaped natives, the series of gunshots alarmed everyone inside and outside the "Min's Garden" building, and many people rushed in their direction.Qiu Yisen, the three sisters of the Min family, and Hua Yundaoquan rushed to the place. The storm was still roaring, and the wounded native fell in a pool of blood, almost unable to get up. When Hua Yundao saw the situation, he said anxiously: "Don't kill him, we will keep him alive and interrogate him..." Qiu Yisen has always been a "humanitarian", so he immediately made up his own mind and said to Hadman: "Hurry up and take him to the building to find a medicine box, first apply him to the wound to stop the bleeding, maybe we can use him!" Hardman didn't think Qiu Yisen's words made sense, but he knew that even Min Sanjiang listened to Qiu Yisen.Under the torrential rain, it was not very pleasant to be drenched in the rain, so I ordered a few native children to help them untie the animal clips from the injured Moro native's feet, and then set them up and carried them to the building. The third master Min also got up when he heard the news, and waited in front of the gate. "What? Those natives from 'Momo Island' again? Why do they invade us again and again? Could it be that there is no hatred?" In spite of everything, Qiu Yisen asked Hardemen to take out the medicine box first, and Shao Atong helped him to try to stop the native's bleeding first. The scars on the native's body were also really terrible. Many places were cut so deep that almost all the bones were exposed. Qiu Yisen exhausted all his medical knowledge in treating wounds, and tried his best to help the native to bleed a little less. At that time, Hua Yundao led the people to follow the escape route of the Moro people all the way to the seaside, and those natives had already escaped without a trace. Hua Yundao only picked up a few spears left by the natives and bamboo tubes for blowing poison darts.After further research, those natives didn’t even have canoes at all. On the turbulent sea, they used driftwood to float to Island C along the current of the water; Island" to go. No one can explain why the Moro Tupan invaded Island C again and again. The three sisters of the Min family were all drenched like "drowned rats". Min Jingu spoke first, pointing to Fenggu and said: "When she was saving Yingu, Fenggu killed innocent people indiscriminately. The natives shot and killed several people, and they came to settle accounts with you!" Yin Gu retorted: "I saw the situation very clearly at that time. The Moluo Tu Fans were all dead, and there was no one alive. No matter how smart they were, even if they could seek revenge, they would never find Island C. Walking into the 'Min's Garden'..." Min Fenggu wiped her wet hair with a towel, and suddenly said: "As far as I see, you all guessed wrong. Qiu Yisen used explosives to rescue the eldest brother and the others, and saved the lives of Qin Wenma and his gang! Imagine how many Moro Tufans were killed in that battle?" Jin Gu was displeased and said: "You just put the responsibility on Qin Wenma, what does Qin Wenma do to me?" Yin Gu caught the conversation and said, "Eldest sister, have you broken off with Qin Wenma? Why didn't you tell Dad?" When Qiu Yisen heard that the topic was not right, he quickly reprimanded him: "You three sisters are all bastards! The matter has come to this point, and you are still thinking of fighting among yourself! Isn't the problem very simple? The Moro Tufan already has a prisoner The captive was caught by me, and we left him alive. Why don’t you just ask them to find out the reason for their repeated crimes? Do you still need your sisters to argue with hurt feelings?” Of course, Min Sanjiang is eager to know why the natives of "Momo Island" keep invading Island C?Especially when they're having unusual pirate patrons. There are not many people who understand the Moro language in the "Min's Garden", so Min Sanjiang asked Hardeman to translate for him and asked the native. "There is no grievance or enmity between us, and there is no grievance. Why do your people keep making trouble for us?" Min Sanjiang asked. Although Hardman has half Moro blood, but after all, he is the flesh and blood of Min Sanjiang, and at the same time he grew up in a "semi-civilized society". He can speak ordinary Moro language very fluently; He also only has a half-knowledge of the language.At the same time, the captured Moro Tufan was also very stubborn, and he refused to answer Hardman casually. "Hey, hey, hey, don't keep this man, kill, kill, kill..." The maid Moro came back from the outside, drenched like a drowned rat.She probably knew everything that happened, and she only blamed herself for screaming to kill the native. "We managed to bring him back to life, why did we kill him?" Min Sanjiang stared, as if dissatisfied with Moluo's statement. "He is a samurai from Moluosheng. If we catch him, there will be endless troubles. Why don't we kill him first! To avoid future troubles!" Min Sanjiang suddenly pointed to Moro and said, "You came just in time. Everyone here doesn't understand Moro language very well, so you can translate for us!" Moro quickly waved his hands and said, "I won't cause this trouble!" Min Sanjiang was furious and said: "If you dare to disobey my order, I will immediately drive you out of the 'Min's Garden'. I mean I can do it!" Intimidated by Min Sanjiang's power, Moluo restrained her sullen attitude under the helpless situation. Min Sanjiang said again: "You tell this native, if he doesn't want to be killed! Tell us the truth!" Moro said disapprovingly: "The warriors of the Moro people have been taken into captivity, and they think it is honorable to be killed!" "Just do what I tell you! You ask him why the Moro people keep encroaching on our land?" Molo had no choice but to ask the native a series of questions in the native language, sternly and sternly. Among them, Hardman was the only one who knew a little bit of native language.Qiu Yisen secretly paid attention to Hadman's appearance, he could see that Hadmen was surprised. Obviously, what Moluo said as an interpreter was different from what Min Sanjiang wanted to ask. All of a sudden, the wounded Tu Fan acted like a beast. He didn't appreciate Min Sanjiang's kindness for wrapping up his wound and saving his life. Snatch the door and escape. The local fan was so powerful that three or two people couldn't stop him. Hadmen pulled out the machete at his waist and raised his hand to chop.Qiu Yisen hurriedly grabbed his wrist to stop him from harming the native. It was still Shao Atong's strength, he rushed forward, together with Zhou Zhilong and several others, dragged the native fan to the ground, and bound his hands and feet. Qiu Yisen pointed to Moluo and said, "What did you say to him? Did you ask according to the meaning of Mr. Min?" Moluo didn't buy Qiu Yisen's account and ignored him at all. 闵三江也觉得情形有点蹊跷，即问摩洛说：“你为何不回答仇奕森的话？” 摩洛苦着脸孔，瞪了仇奕森一眼，说：“我吃的是'闵家花园'的饭，不听外来客的指挥！” 闵三江怒目圆睁：“我现在就要问你，你向这个土孩子说了些什么？” “我完全依照你的意思问的！”摩洛答。 仇奕森向闵三江说：“哈德门能听懂部分土番的言语，摩洛说了些什么话，他必听见了！” 闵三江被提醒，即向哈德门说：“摩洛说了些什么话？你要坦白告诉我！” 哈德门面有难色，那肥大的土妇女佣又用摩洛语叽哩咕噜地向哈德门提出了警告。 哈德门是摩洛自幼抚养大的，对这土妇女佣如对亲生母亲似的，他甚觉为难。 闵三江着了急，说：“你是我的儿子，总应该向我说实话！” 哈德门是难得听得闵三江会当面承认他是他的亲骨肉的，一时高兴，正打算说实话，但摩洛又用土语加以警告。 哈德门欲言又止，两面为难。当然，闵家的三姊妹对她们的父亲当着众人的面前，指认这个半开化、土人装束打扮的孩子为他们的兄弟很感不满，一个个的噘起了嘴。 闵三江便向摩洛叱喝，说：“你回到厨房里去！” 摩洛以强硬的态度回答：“厨房里现在没有事！” 闵三江再问哈德门说：“摩洛刚才向这土番说了些什么？” 哈德门很感到为难，犹豫了半晌，终于说：“摩洛向他提出了警告，说是我们要挖他的眼睛。'魔摩岛'的番族最怕被挖眼睛，因为被挖了眼睛的话，双目失明，便见不到他们的神，将来死后也不能上天堂了！” “荒唐……”闵三江咒骂说。 摩洛怪叫起来，说：“我无非是希望他说说实话，所以特地里用言语恐吓他罢了！” 那负了重伤的土番，虽然手脚俱被捆绑，但仍然发着兽吼，没命地挣扎。经过了包扎的伤口，又有许多地方被绷裂，鲜血涔涔渗了出来，痛苦不已。 闵三江看情形，知道多问也没有益处，便向哈德门说：“先把他弄到仓库里去关禁起来，派人看守着，别让他跑掉了！” 仇奕森忙加以建议说：“把他留在这里可能也是祸患，不如把他交给官方治安当局有专门管理山地民族的警官，也或许可以盘问得出他们真正的来意……” 闵三江不肯，拒绝说：“山地警官只能管开化了的山地人，未开化的土人他们管不了！” “至少他们可以盘问出实情来！” 闵三江苦笑，抚着仇奕森的肩膊说：“仇老弟，你是真退化了，抑或是改变了观念了？为什么口口声声不离和官方打交道？” 仇奕森长叹一声：“唉，三爷，你的老脾气改不了！” 是时风雨更烈，台风趁在黎明之前逞着余威。哈德门遵照闵三江的命令，指挥着几个土人孩子，将那被捆绑着的土番架向仓库给幽禁起来了。 闵三爷和周之龙商量，请他加强各哨位的把守，至少要维持到天亮。 相信天亮之后，危机就可以解除了。 仇奕森再次向闵三江陈词说：“三爷，再长此拖下去，谁也吃不消的。现在除了袁大麻子和方家四怪，还有摩洛族人的威胁，凭你现在的几个人手，能应付得了哪一方面呢？若为遵照江湖的道义而言，对付海盗，你不交由官方处理，那是你希望维持你在江湖上的老英名，免被晚辈贻笑；但是对付生番野人，你和他们又有什么'江湖'可言呢？” 闵三江悍然说：“一则，我是对官方不感兴趣；二则，方家四怪和袁大麻子会歪曲事实。我活到这把年纪了，将打出来的江山砸在野人的身上，太不划算吧！” 仇奕森听闵三江这样说，知道多劝也没有益处，只有由他，那面目凶恶的土妇女佣摩洛却一直斜着眼，注意着仇奕森所说的一切和仇奕森的动静。 闵三江由邵阿通搀扶着回房去安息去了。 仇奕森却找周之龙和彭澎商量，说：“你们既然负责看守仓库内的那土番，可千万小心那个土妇摩洛，这人心怀不轨，好像肚子里另有图谋！” 彭澎说：“我们弟兄精神上全吃不消了！” “反正维持到天亮，我们交班就是了。”周之龙说。 “要注意那个土妇人！”
仇奕森回返到他的寝室，凤姑早已经坐在他的寝室内，揣着一瓶酒和两只高脚的琉璃杯。 凤姑洒满了杯子，递了一杯给仇奕森，说：“骚胡子，相信你也累了，驱驱寒气吧！” “大清早你就饮酒么？” 凤姑说：“相信风险已经过去了，喝两杯，正好歇息！” 仇奕森摇首道：“风险并不定过去呢！现在每一人都累了，宵小之徒正有机可乘！” 凤姑皱着眉宇，似感到仇奕森话中有因，即说：“你认为'闵家花园'内有宵小活动么？” “不只是宵小活动，恐怕还有更大的意外！”仇奕森目光灼灼，矜持着说。 “骚胡子，据你的看法，摩洛族土番为什么接连不断地向'闵家花园'进袭？” “他们隔着海洋冒生命的危险而来，当然是不无原因的！” “我们和摩洛族人还有什么渊源不成？” 仇奕森搔着头皮，说：“何止渊源？你们是亲戚！” 闵凤姑大愕，叱斥说：“这是什么话？我们和野蛮人攀了什么亲戚？” 仇奕森说：“别忘记了你有一个哥哥，是摩洛族人的混血儿！” 闵凤姑立时脸红耳赤，呐呐说：“难道说，你认为摩洛族人是为哈德门而来？” “你的父亲曾经说过，摩洛族人的复仇心理最强，你的父亲曾强暴过摩洛族妇女，生下了哈德门……” 闵凤姑很觉难堪，皱着眉宇说：“但是听说那个土妇是个犯妇，被族人追杀，父亲将她收容了……” “也或是毛病就出在此！”仇奕森说着，好像又另想起了一回事：“你可曾注意到哈德门所住的地方，有着一幅兽皮所绘画的地图，后来失踪了！” 闵凤姑愕然，摇了摇头。 “摩洛必然知道详情！”仇奕森喃喃自语说：“闵三江为什么会收容这个土人女佣？可能是引狼入室啦！” 闵凤姑更是不解。“摩洛在我们家中做女佣已经有十七八年之久了！” 仇奕森说：“只有这一点对摩洛是最有利的解释！” 忽然，闵凤姑的脸色有异，她放下了酒杯，向仇奕森提出警告说：“骚胡子，你别动！” 跟着她就自腰间里拔出了闵家的飞刀，一扬手，两支飞刀同时出手，打仇奕森的脚底下飞过去，只听得一阵轻微的窜跳声响，鲜血飞溅。 原来在仇奕森脚底下有着一条雨伞毒蛇，是由床底下冒出来的。对付毒蛇的方法最重要是“以静对动”。 蛇本是不咬人的，它之噬人是受惊恐而反袭，闵凤姑平常就爱玩弄这些丑恶的动物，懂得它们的性情，所以首先警告仇奕森静坐着。 “嗯，用毒蛇暗算我这是第二次了！”仇奕森皱着眉宇说。 “据你的猜想是谁暗算你呢？” “在M市那卡诺酒店里，那是第一次，这是第二次了！” 闵凤姑有点不大相信，说：“两个地方的环境不同，总不可能是同一个人的阴谋吧？” 仇奕森以手帕将溅在身上的血迹拭去，边说：“你认为是谁会向我下毒手呢？” “我认为嫌疑最重的，莫过于是摩洛了，但是事情发生过后，摩洛一直未离开我们的视线，她不可能有机会作此恶作剧！” 仇奕森矜持着说：“当然，在'闵家花园'内一定有比摩洛更为可恶的人物！” “骚胡子，你在黑社会混久了，眼中看的每一个人都是可疑的，哈！”她傻笑了起来。“菲律宾产蛇是世界著名的，随便在哪儿发现毒蛇都不足为奇……” “像在M市的一流观光大饭店'那卡诺酒店'，发现毒蛇也不足为奇么？” “但是你却又指不出暗算你的是什么人呢！” 仇奕森一向是十分机警的，他发现情形有异，蓦地趋至窗前，以快捷的手法抽开窗门，向外一推——窗外赫然伫立着一个人，他想闪避开，已经来不及了。 奇怪，那竟是华云道呢。 “秃贼，你为什么老是对我鬼鬼祟祟？”仇奕森正色说。 华云道有恼羞成怒之色，向凤姑说：“现在是什么时候了？你为什么还不回到自己的房间里去？” 闵凤姑诧然说：“老家伙，你竟管到我的头上来了？” “不管你和仇奕森是什么称呼，在这个时间，孤男寡女同处一室，总是不应该的！” 仇奕森说：“秃贼，你用小人之心度君子之腹，无非是掩饰你的窘态罢了！” “不管怎样，被闵三爷知道，也会不高兴的！”华云道说着，掉头就离去了。 闵凤姑非常气恼，说：“奇怪，华云道那老儿老注意着我的行动！” “不！或许是注意着我的行动！” 闵凤姑便注意着地上的那条被劈为二段的毒蛇，矜持着说：“那么这条毒蛇会是谁放置的？……” “华云道不会这样不光明不磊落的，而且也没有这种必要！” 一夜的暴风雨是过去了。到了天色黎明时，台风的余威已告收敛，剩下的只是细微的阵雨。 忽然，周之龙上气不接下气地奔向大厦里来了。他脸无人色，精神委靡，拉大了嗓子怪叫着说：“不好了……那个土人给跑掉啦！……” 闵三江晨起正打算练他的早课，慌忙跑出门外来。“怎样跑掉的？” “搞不清楚，我派在仓库前面把守的弟兄，和一个土人孩子，全遇害了……” 大厦里的人被这阵骚扰惊醒了，纷纷起床。首先跑出来的是华云道和金姑。 金姑提着猎枪，急促地说：“这是不可能的事情，那个土番受了重伤，手脚又被捆绑，他自己怎样逃得了？” “一定是有人做内线帮他逃的！”华云道说。 “'闵家花园'内有内奸不成？”闵三江也恼了火。 银姑和凤姑也陆续走出房了。 “什么人会是内奸？”银姑问。 “妈的，假如不是内奸，那个土人怎样逃得了呢？”华云道也悻悻然说。 仇奕森向凤姑一招手，轻声说：“我们到摩洛的房间去看看！” 凤姑惊愕说：“你又怀疑那个土女佣么？” “不管，总得要去看看！” 凤姑便顺着仇奕森的意思，趋进内厅通进厨房左侧摩洛的睡房。 仇奕森先注意房间四周方地板，暴风雨之夜，假如有人外出，地板上不可能不会有痕迹留下。 凤姑敲了门。只听得房内那个土妇女佣一阵哈哈大笑，她踢开房门，是酒气醺醺的，脸孔红胀得像臭掉了的猪肝，她以悻然的语气说：“我早就猜到你们会怀疑在我的身上，其实呢，昨晚上我自回房后就大门未出过半步，你们都是精明的，只看地上的足迹就可以知道了。暴风雨的晚上，只要走出户外，必会带回来泥垢和水迹……” 仇奕森正色道：“你以为我们怀疑你什么呢？你知道出了什么事情吗？” “嗨！你们在敞听外面大声怪叫的，我什么话没听见？尤其是昨晚上我曾经主张把这个人杀掉！”摩洛满不在乎地说。 仇奕森似乎对摩洛无可如何，他绕至屋外走廊，摩洛的寝室靠窗的地方，有着许多凌乱的污泥足迹，他可以看得出那是光着足的，足趾的印迹十分显明。 “唔！”仇奕森颔首说：“这是土人的足迹，最低限度，摩洛没有走出房子，也有人来和她联络过了！” 凤姑说：“你也太武断了，巡夜的土人孩子经过这里来也未一定呀！” 仇奕森指着地板说：“你没看见足迹在窗前停留吗？而且足迹是对窗内的，分明是和窗内人说话！” “也或是他偷窥窗内呢？” 仇奕森仍坚持己见，一定认为那个负重伤的土番逃脱，和摩洛必有关系！ 是时，华云道等人已经赶往仓库方面去了。果然的那负责把守的弟兄遭了毒手，是用土人的砍山刀劈向后脑开了一个大裂口。他的手枪跌落在他的身旁的草堆中，很可能是他听得什么声息赶出来查看而遭了暗算。 那被派在仓库前负责联络传递消息的土人孩子却是被扼杀的，舌头吐在外面，浑身黝黑。 研究地上的足迹，帮助那土番逃走的绝不止一个人，其中有两个人将那土番架走的。循足迹追寻，因为风雨太大，逃走路线上足迹几乎全冲灭了。 彭澎是负责巡逻海岸的第一线的，他醺了整夜的酒，已经是酒醉迷糊的了，连走路也是歪歪倒倒的。 消息传递出来，那负伤的土番给逃掉了，彭澎奉命沿海再巡查一周，希望能查出他们逃出C岛的路线。土番们的来无影去无踪，使他们大感恐怖，至少是他们的“防线”有了漏隙。 彭澎却很意外的在海滩上发现了一摊血迹，经过雨水的冲刷，血水是陷进砂石里去了，但是只要稍微注意，那不可能不会发现的。 而且它的周围，还有许多凌乱的足迹和尸体拖拉的痕迹，尸体是被拖进海水里去了。 闵三江得到消息，即命人备了马，带领大批的人赶赴海滩上去，亲自勘察一番。 凤姑是最多话的，她看过了现场的情形后，即说：“难道说这是杀人灭口？” 金姑想不通，说：“杀了谁？” “自然是那个负了重伤的土番啦！” 金姑不肯相信，说：“难道说，谁将他救了出来之后，又把他杀掉了？” 凤姑说：“因为要杀他灭口！” 金姑以讥讽的语气说：“你是中毒了，中了仇奕森的毒，这个老家伙无非是在卖弄他的英雄主义，将我们统统当做傻瓜！” 仇奕森听了之后并不生气，他知道金姑之所以对他不满的原因，实在是因为他和凤姑有了太多的接触的关系。 金姑是为了孝道，也为了爱护她的妹妹，所以一而再地向他出恶言。 仇奕森自问心术是纯正的，金姑是属于他的晚辈，和她去较量这些，更显得自己的气度不够了，宁愿忍气吞声，笑骂由她。 仇奕森倒是着实地要看看闵三江究竟如何研判和处理这件事情，所以他很快地就趋至闵三江的身畔去了。 闵三江咒骂不已，说：“一点也不假，我们'闵家花园'，有了内奸了！究竟是谁做了内奸呢？” 当然，这是谁也没敢下武断的，除了那些土人孩子和周之龙留下的几个人，差不多大多数的人，和闵三江都是有着密切的关系！ “假如说，谁被我查出，我不会将他杀死的，那样太痛快他了，我会将他绑在广场上晒成肉乾以泄心头之恨！” 倏地，仇奕森有了新的发现，在沙滩近旁拖行尸首进入海水之中的凌乱足迹之中，有着一只缺少了足趾头的左脚脚印。 记得第一次魔摩岛土番进袭时，杀死了一个土人孩子，那时候，仇奕森在许多凌乱的足迹之中，就曾发现过有一只缺少了足趾头的足迹。 由此可见，任何事件发生都是有关联的。上次他们潜进来杀死了一个人，这一次又潜进来将被俘的土番绑架后屠杀。 问题可谓是愈来愈不简单了。 闵三江经过研究之后，向华云道说：“我们的布防实在太有问题了，连这些野蛮人都可以进出自如，实在太值得研究了！” 华云道瞪着了哈德门，说：“也许仇奕森说得对，这些土人孩子应该全给他们撤走啦！” 闵三江没有话说，驰马离去了。 周之龙战战兢兢趋至华云道的身畔，呐呐地说：“我们应聘来是对付海贼的，想不到还要应付野蛮人……” “假如说是为待遇问题，可以直接去找闵三爷商量！我不管闵家的钱财！” 周之龙说：“弟兄们的情绪非常不安，现在又多损失一个人了……” “你们的去留问题，于我无干！”华云道也愤然而去。 风雨已经停歇了，“闵家花园”内的每一个人情绪都显露得非常的不安。 哈德门指挥下的土人孩子又丧命了一名，他们又集合在广场上举行火葬的仪式，梆鼓的声音响彻云霄。 凤姑邀约仇奕森去参观，他们分乘了两匹白马，踪跃广场之上。 摩洛族人的习惯，不论婚丧喜庆，都离不开歌舞。火堆早已架好，团团围绕成一个大圈子，手舞足蹈的，以低沉的嗓音唱着一些令人难以懂得的歌词，声调是严肃而悲切的。 一尊摩洛族人始祖“摩特毛”的木偶神像，置在广场之前，两旁排列着鼓手，有节拍地敲击着。 那尊木像原是仇奕森在M市请名家雕型的，他搬进“闵家花园”里来用以测探哈德门的心理。 事实可以证明，哈德门虽然是闵三江的骨肉，但是他却是有“摩特毛”的血统，野蛮人的气质不易消除，“摩特毛”的神威永远在他的心中存在。 这其中的最大关键还恐怕是那个土妇女佣的关系。哈德门等于是她一手抚养大的，哈德门所有的番人生活习惯和知识，全是由摩洛教养而成。 这时候，摩洛又以巫师的姿势出现了，她跪在“摩特毛”的神像之前，喃喃祈祷，大伙儿以她的动作为主，跟随着舞蹈。 仇奕森向凤姑说：“这是'闵家花园'内隐伏着的危机，不知道什么时候才会爆发呢！” 闵凤姑不以为然，噘着唇说：“骚胡子，你太多疑惑了。也许是在C岛的时日太少，我们生活在C岛之上，土人的把戏由小至大都看多了，已经不足为奇啦！” 仇奕森说：“那么，土人们是经常要互相残杀的了？” 闵凤姑笑而不答，她每逢外出，都几乎要到她母亲的坟前献花凭吊一番的，孝心甚堪钦佩。可是仇奕森又感到也或是这座坟墓之前会有着凤姑的什么秘密。 雨后花园内的景色是一片清新，尤其台风过境后的阳光分外娇柔。 闵凤姑仍是老样子，她跪倒在墓前默祷。由她的行为可以看出，闵凤姑有一个根深蒂固的想法——“闵家花园”是她的母亲一手开辟出来的，这些产业应属于她全权所有。
海贼们全无消息，仇奕森派出两个最有力的“眼线”——巴法奴和雷诺——踏遍了C岛，也没有任何可值得提供的线索。 “闵家花园”内为着摩洛土番的骚扰，显得非常的不安。 哈德门所雇用的一些土人孩子不辞而别，逃掉了，他们调配而用的人员是愈来愈少了。 闵三江也
"Min's Garden" is peaceful, and there is nothing unusual during the day, but after nightfall, almost everyone is emotionally disturbed. Zhou Zhilong and a group of his brothers were dispatched to guard the "front line" along the coast. Although they were educated in a civilized society, they had never served in the military, and they guarded the front line with guns like soldiers. Position, strictly guard against hostile changes.They are also considered to be very calm, able to keep calm and guard, and if there is any trouble, they will get in touch immediately and deal with it together. Due to the psychology of fear, the "Min's Garden" was always in turmoil. Those loose gangsters would immediately report to their accomplices whenever there was any unexpected sound. If you don't fight, you will be in chaos. This is because everyone has no combat experience. Qiu Yisen asked Min Sanjiang to teach Hua Yundao to personally supervise the battle. Hua Yundao was born as a pirate and had rich experience and could handle it. But it was very strange, they seemed to be tense for a while, and the pirates didn't even move at all. The quieter the pirates were, the more disturbed the "Min's Garden" became. Qiu Yisen keeps in touch with Bafanu and Lei Nuo every day, and asks these two children to pass on news to him. What surprised them most was that the pirates disappeared without a trace. After the "four monsters of the Fang family" combined with Yuan Mazi, they lost their whereabouts. Even though Bafanu was very familiar with the sea boat gang on Island C, they couldn't find their whereabouts. Where did Yuan Mazi's two boats hide?They will no longer stay in "Momo Island", and they will no longer be in Penang Reef. Where are they hiding? Because of the mysterious whereabouts of the pirates, what conspiracy plans do they have?unknown. It was night, the climate on the ocean had changed, and the Meteorological Office had issued a typhoon warning. It was a small typhoon passing through. "Min's Garden" has experience in preventing typhoons. The most important thing is to protect the orchard and prevent wires from catching fire, because the orchard is not a joke when it is on fire. The closer the typhoon is, the more patrols in the orchard will be stepped up. Qiu Yisen especially suggested to Min Sanjiang: "Be careful that the pirates use the cover of the typhoon to attack us, and we will be caught off guard, so the most careful thing is to go to the coast tonight!" Hua Yundao and Zhou Zhilong had a special discussion, and dispatched several more savvy gunmen to the "front line" defense.In addition, each person has two native children to do liaison work with them. A mild typhoon struck, bringing wind and drizzle, and white waves on the ocean.Everyone defending the coast is crying and cowering in thatched tents. Since there is always the danger of pirates attacking, if there is any trouble, they have to rush out of the hut to check. Zhou Zhilong is respected as the eldest brother among his group of children, but he is a courageous and gangster.Usually scaring ordinary gamblers and unorganized rascals can be said to be well-organized and methodical; now it is like facing a "big battlefield", ready to welcome the attack of pirates at any time, life and death are only in the blink of an eye, it is inevitable Terrified. The typhoon passed by, the wind was rumbling, and the raindrops were like beans. The temporary hut that was erected by the trees on the coast was crumbling, and the roof might be torn off at any time. The roof and walls were leaking. Zhou Zhilong and Hua Yundao inspected the place separately, while Peng Peng stayed inside the hut. Zhou Zhilong was trembling, huddled in a corner of the hut, trying to avoid the sudden rain and cold. Peng Peng said to him: "Brother Zhou, you seem to be a bit overwhelmed! How about drinking a sip of wine to suppress the cold?" When he said that, he took out a small pocket wine bottle, which was "brandy".Uncapped the bottle and put it into Zhou Zhilong's mouth. As the eldest brother, Zhou Zhilong cursed and said: "Damn, I taught you to watch the night, but you are drinking here!" Peng Peng said: "What is this small bottle of wine? I use it to drive away the cold!" In fact, Zhou Zhilong was timid himself, swallowed, put the mouth of the bottle to his mouth, and drank the brandy in one gulp.Wiping his lips, coughing and sighing, he seemed to feel overwhelmed. "Why didn't Brother Zhou go back to Port M with Qin Wenma? This place is not a place to keep people!" Peng Peng gossiped. Zhou Zhilong glared at Peng Peng and said, "Since you said that, why didn't you leave?" Peng Peng said with a smile: "I have a new friend and I can't bear to leave..." "Hmph, you must be referring to Qiu Yisen. In fact, what good does Qiu Yisen do to you?" Zhou Zhilong said jealously. "Well, in terms of Jianghu, Boss Qiu is worthy of being a leader. His command is orderly and orderly, and he will not be chaotic when he is in danger..." "Damn it, you're cursing me for being confused!" "Brother Zhou, at least you can't hold your breath!" Zhou Zhilong was furious.In fact, Zhou Zhilong was full of grievances.Before leaving, Qin Wenma entrusted him with all the heavy responsibilities. Zhou Zhilong also knew that if Qin Wenma couldn't get land before his father-in-law on Island C, then his "Nakano Hotel" would be doomed. Zhou Zhilong is also a figure who lost power in the "underworld" of Port M. Qin Wenma promised to let him become one of the shareholders of "Nakano Casino". s reason. A man's courage is encouraged, but courage is born.Zhou Zhilong's background was a rascal from a loose gang, and he had no experience in facing a big enemy. In this kind of situation, he had to show his true colors. Zhou Zhilong was very annoyed when Peng Peng exposed his "hole card". "Bastard! I'm not broken yet! Qiu Yisen is an old thief who washed his hands of the rivers and lakes. You can become a monk with him..." The storm is coming closer and closer.Suddenly, amidst the wind and rain, there was a frantic and brutal cry. This strange cry is definitely not the strange cry of ordinary people, it seems to have a few words in Moro language. Zhou Zhilong and Peng Peng were terrified and rushed out of the hut in the rain.With a whistling sound, a poison dart flew towards Zhou Zhilong. Fortunately, due to the slippery water on the ground, Zhou Zhilong slipped hastily, and the poison dart hit the treetop, otherwise Zhou Zhilong would have lived till now. Peng Peng rushed forward to lift Zhou Zhilong up.It was raining heavily, the lights were dim, and the vision in all directions was blurred. Peng Peng's eyes were still sharp, and a burst of leaves were reflected. About seventy or eighty yards away from them, a group of black shadows were rushing towards the seashore. "Hi, it's Moluo Shengfan..." The native child in charge of contacting them has already screamed. With a crackling sound, a native Changge flew in their direction.Because the strength was not enough and the shot was not accurate, it was inserted into a mango tree.The mango tree was shaken, and a branch and several mangoes fell down. Peng Peng was not polite, he raised his pistol, and in the posture of a quick shooter, "bang, bang, bang..." he fired randomly. In an instant, those shadows all disappeared. Zhou Zhilong got up in shock just as he got up, only to hear the strange yelling of the Moluo people still, and the yelling became hoarse one after another. Zhou Zhilong and Peng Peng turned on the flashlights and followed the sound to find the past.It was an animal trap under the dense green shade of the mango orchard, and a steel animal trap buried in the ground with an iron chain clamped the calf of a Moro native.His body was dripping with blood, and there were as many as five or six wounds. This is the habit of the Moro warriors. Whenever they are in danger, if they cannot escape, the warriors who come with them will kill him to prevent him from falling into the hands of the enemy. The native who had his legs caught in the trap was covered with scars, bloody and bloody, all of which were stabbed with knives and spears by his companions who came with him. If it hadn't been for Peng Peng's random shooting to scare away this group of terrible barbarians, I believe this guy would have survived. The heavy rain was dripping down, and the bruised man still raised his raw iron rusty knife, fighting like a trapped beast, slashing wildly at the people who came around him. If his foot hadn't been caught by the animal trap, Zhou Zhilong and Peng Peng might have suffered a lot. Peng Peng raised his gun and cursed: "Fucking bastard, just give him one shot and two holes!" Zhou Zhilong hurriedly stopped him and said, "Strange, this is the second time these strangers have come to Island C. Could it be that the pirates have united with them?" Peng Peng said: "This is out of place. It is impossible for the pirates to have any relationship with the Moro people..." "But why do they keep attacking?" Zhou Zhilong said. Peng Peng was not happy to see the native looking like he was desperately fighting for his life, so he shot "bang" to the native's wrist.Tu Fan was wounded and fell down, and the rusty knife in his hand fell off.At the very least, his hand is useless. Peng Peng's methods are also too cruel, but this is also the sense of superiority between human beings. A slightly "progressive" nation must despise backward nations.Peng Peng couldn't see this dying native baring his teeth and claws at him with a rusty knife, so he shot him. When Peng Peng chased those escaped natives, the series of gunshots alarmed everyone inside and outside the "Min's Garden" building, and many people rushed in their direction.Qiu Yisen, the three sisters of the Min family, and Hua Yundaoquan rushed to the place. The storm was still roaring, and the wounded native fell in a pool of blood, almost unable to get up. When Hua Yundao saw the situation, he said anxiously: "Don't kill him, we will keep him alive and interrogate him..." Qiu Yisen has always been a "humanitarian", so he immediately made up his own mind and said to Hadman: "Hurry up and take him to the building to find a medicine box, first apply him to the wound to stop the bleeding, maybe we can use him!" Hardman didn't think Qiu Yisen's words made sense, but he knew that even Min Sanjiang listened to Qiu Yisen.Under the torrential rain, it was not very pleasant to be drenched in the rain, so I ordered a few native children to help them untie the animal clips from the injured Moro native's feet, and then set them up and carried them to the building. The third master Min also got up when he heard the news, and waited in front of the gate. "What? Those natives from 'Momo Island' again? Why do they invade us again and again? Could it be that there is no hatred?" In spite of everything, Qiu Yisen asked Hardemen to take out the medicine box first, and Shao Atong helped him to try to stop the native's bleeding first. The scars on the native's body were also really terrible. Many places were cut so deep that almost all the bones were exposed. Qiu Yisen exhausted all his medical knowledge in treating wounds, and tried his best to help the native to bleed a little less. At that time, Hua Yundao led the people to follow the escape route of the Moro people all the way to the seaside, and those natives had already escaped without a trace. Hua Yundao only picked up a few spears left by the natives and bamboo tubes for blowing poison darts.After further research, those natives didn’t even have canoes at all. On the turbulent sea, they used driftwood to float to Island C along the current of the water; Island" to go. No one can explain why the Moro Tupan invaded Island C again and again. The three sisters of the Min family were all drenched like "drowned rats". Min Jingu spoke first, pointing to Fenggu and said: "When she was saving Yingu, Fenggu killed innocent people indiscriminately. The natives shot and killed several people, and they came to settle accounts with you!" Yin Gu retorted: "I saw the situation very clearly at that time. The Moluo Tu Fans were all dead, and there was no one alive. No matter how smart they were, even if they could seek revenge, they would never find Island C. Walking into the 'Min's Garden'..." Min Fenggu wiped her wet hair with a towel, and suddenly said: "As far as I see, you all guessed wrong. Qiu Yisen used explosives to rescue the eldest brother and the others, and saved the lives of Qin Wenma and his gang! Imagine how many Moro Tufans were killed in that battle?" Jin Gu was displeased and said: "You just put the responsibility on Qin Wenma, what does Qin Wenma do to me?" Yin Gu caught the conversation and said, "Eldest sister, have you broken off with Qin Wenma? Why didn't you tell Dad?" When Qiu Yisen heard that the topic was not right, he quickly reprimanded him: "You three sisters are all bastards! The matter has come to this point, and you are still thinking of fighting among yourself! Isn't the problem very simple? The Moro Tufan already has a prisoner The captive was caught by me, and we left him alive. Why don’t you just ask them to find out the reason for their repeated crimes? Do you still need your sisters to argue with hurt feelings?” Of course, Min Sanjiang is eager to know why the natives of "Momo Island" keep invading Island C?Especially when they're having unusual pirate patrons. There are not many people who understand the Moro language in the "Min's Garden", so Min Sanjiang asked Hardeman to translate for him and asked the native. "There is no grievance or enmity between us, and there is no grievance. Why do your people keep making trouble for us?" Min Sanjiang asked. Although Hardman has half Moro blood, but after all, he is the flesh and blood of Min Sanjiang, and at the same time he grew up in a "semi-civilized society". He can speak ordinary Moro language very fluently; He also only has a half-knowledge of the language.At the same time, the captured Moro Tufan was also very stubborn, and he refused to answer Hardman casually. "Hey, hey, hey, don't keep this man, kill, kill, kill..." The maid Moro came back from the outside, drenched like a drowned rat.She probably knew everything that happened, and she only blamed herself for screaming to kill the native. "We managed to bring him back to life, why did we kill him?" Min Sanjiang stared, as if dissatisfied with Moluo's statement. "He is a samurai from Moluosheng. If we catch him, there will be endless troubles. Why don't we kill him first! To avoid future troubles!" Min Sanjiang suddenly pointed to Moro and said, "You came just in time. Everyone here doesn't understand Moro language very well, so you can translate for us!" Moro quickly waved his hands and said, "I won't cause this trouble!" Min Sanjiang was furious and said: "If you dare to disobey my order, I will immediately drive you out of the 'Min's Garden'. I mean I can do it!" Intimidated by Min Sanjiang's power, Moluo restrained her sullen attitude under the helpless situation. Min Sanjiang said again: "You tell this native, if he doesn't want to be killed! Tell us the truth!" Moro said disapprovingly: "The warriors of the Moro people have been taken into captivity, and they think it is honorable to be killed!" "Just do what I tell you! You ask him why the Moro people keep encroaching on our land?" Molo had no choice but to ask the native a series of questions in the native language, sternly and sternly. Among them, Hardman was the only one who knew a little bit of native language.Qiu Yisen secretly paid attention to Hadman's appearance, he could see that Hadmen was surprised. Obviously, what Moluo said as an interpreter was different from what Min Sanjiang wanted to ask. All of a sudden, the wounded Tu Fan acted like a beast. He didn't appreciate Min Sanjiang's kindness for wrapping up his wound and saving his life. Snatch the door and escape. The local fan was so powerful that three or two people couldn't stop him. Hadmen pulled out the machete at his waist and raised his hand to chop.Qiu Yisen hurriedly grabbed his wrist to stop him from harming the native. It was still Shao Atong's strength, he rushed forward, together with Zhou Zhilong and several others, dragged the native fan to the ground, and bound his hands and feet. Qiu Yisen pointed to Moluo and said, "What did you say to him? Did you ask according to the meaning of Mr. Min?" Moluo didn't buy Qiu Yisen's account and ignored him at all. 闵三江也觉得情形有点蹊跷，即问摩洛说：“你为何不回答仇奕森的话？” 摩洛苦着脸孔，瞪了仇奕森一眼，说：“我吃的是'闵家花园'的饭，不听外来客的指挥！” 闵三江怒目圆睁：“我现在就要问你，你向这个土孩子说了些什么？” “我完全依照你的意思问的！”摩洛答。 仇奕森向闵三江说：“哈德门能听懂部分土番的言语，摩洛说了些什么话，他必听见了！” 闵三江被提醒，即向哈德门说：“摩洛说了些什么话？你要坦白告诉我！” 哈德门面有难色，那肥大的土妇女佣又用摩洛语叽哩咕噜地向哈德门提出了警告。 哈德门是摩洛自幼抚养大的，对这土妇女佣如对亲生母亲似的，他甚觉为难。 闵三江着了急，说：“你是我的儿子，总应该向我说实话！” 哈德门是难得听得闵三江会当面承认他是他的亲骨肉的，一时高兴，正打算说实话，但摩洛又用土语加以警告。 哈德门欲言又止，两面为难。当然，闵家的三姊妹对她们的父亲当着众人的面前，指认这个半开化、土人装束打扮的孩子为他们的兄弟很感不满，一个个的噘起了嘴。 闵三江便向摩洛叱喝，说：“你回到厨房里去！” 摩洛以强硬的态度回答：“厨房里现在没有事！” 闵三江再问哈德门说：“摩洛刚才向这土番说了些什么？” 哈德门很感到为难，犹豫了半晌，终于说：“摩洛向他提出了警告，说是我们要挖他的眼睛。'魔摩岛'的番族最怕被挖眼睛，因为被挖了眼睛的话，双目失明，便见不到他们的神，将来死后也不能上天堂了！” “荒唐……”闵三江咒骂说。 摩洛怪叫起来，说：“我无非是希望他说说实话，所以特地里用言语恐吓他罢了！” 那负了重伤的土番，虽然手脚俱被捆绑，但仍然发着兽吼，没命地挣扎。经过了包扎的伤口，又有许多地方被绷裂，鲜血涔涔渗了出来，痛苦不已。 闵三江看情形，知道多问也没有益处，便向哈德门说：“先把他弄到仓库里去关禁起来，派人看守着，别让他跑掉了！” 仇奕森忙加以建议说：“把他留在这里可能也是祸患，不如把他交给官方治安当局有专门管理山地民族的警官，也或许可以盘问得出他们真正的来意……” 闵三江不肯，拒绝说：“山地警官只能管开化了的山地人，未开化的土人他们管不了！” “至少他们可以盘问出实情来！” 闵三江苦笑，抚着仇奕森的肩膊说：“仇老弟，你是真退化了，抑或是改变了观念了？为什么口口声声不离和官方打交道？” 仇奕森长叹一声：“唉，三爷，你的老脾气改不了！” 是时风雨更烈，台风趁在黎明之前逞着余威。哈德门遵照闵三江的命令，指挥着几个土人孩子，将那被捆绑着的土番架向仓库给幽禁起来了。 闵三爷和周之龙商量，请他加强各哨位的把守，至少要维持到天亮。 相信天亮之后，危机就可以解除了。 仇奕森再次向闵三江陈词说：“三爷，再长此拖下去，谁也吃不消的。现在除了袁大麻子和方家四怪，还有摩洛族人的威胁，凭你现在的几个人手，能应付得了哪一方面呢？若为遵照江湖的道义而言，对付海盗，你不交由官方处理，那是你希望维持你在江湖上的老英名，免被晚辈贻笑；但是对付生番野人，你和他们又有什么'江湖'可言呢？” 闵三江悍然说：“一则，我是对官方不感兴趣；二则，方家四怪和袁大麻子会歪曲事实。我活到这把年纪了，将打出来的江山砸在野人的身上，太不划算吧！” 仇奕森听闵三江这样说，知道多劝也没有益处，只有由他，那面目凶恶的土妇女佣摩洛却一直斜着眼，注意着仇奕森所说的一切和仇奕森的动静。 闵三江由邵阿通搀扶着回房去安息去了。 仇奕森却找周之龙和彭澎商量，说：“你们既然负责看守仓库内的那土番，可千万小心那个土妇摩洛，这人心怀不轨，好像肚子里另有图谋！” 彭澎说：“我们弟兄精神上全吃不消了！” “反正维持到天亮，我们交班就是了。”周之龙说。 “要注意那个土妇人！”
仇奕森回返到他的寝室，凤姑早已经坐在他的寝室内，揣着一瓶酒和两只高脚的琉璃杯。 凤姑洒满了杯子，递了一杯给仇奕森，说：“骚胡子，相信你也累了，驱驱寒气吧！” “大清早你就饮酒么？” 凤姑说：“相信风险已经过去了，喝两杯，正好歇息！” 仇奕森摇首道：“风险并不定过去呢！现在每一人都累了，宵小之徒正有机可乘！” 凤姑皱着眉宇，似感到仇奕森话中有因，即说：“你认为'闵家花园'内有宵小活动么？” “不只是宵小活动，恐怕还有更大的意外！”仇奕森目光灼灼，矜持着说。 “骚胡子，据你的看法，摩洛族土番为什么接连不断地向'闵家花园'进袭？” “他们隔着海洋冒生命的危险而来，当然是不无原因的！” “我们和摩洛族人还有什么渊源不成？” 仇奕森搔着头皮，说：“何止渊源？你们是亲戚！” 闵凤姑大愕，叱斥说：“这是什么话？我们和野蛮人攀了什么亲戚？” 仇奕森说：“别忘记了你有一个哥哥，是摩洛族人的混血儿！” 闵凤姑立时脸红耳赤，呐呐说：“难道说，你认为摩洛族人是为哈德门而来？” “你的父亲曾经说过，摩洛族人的复仇心理最强，你的父亲曾强暴过摩洛族妇女，生下了哈德门……” 闵凤姑很觉难堪，皱着眉宇说：“但是听说那个土妇是个犯妇，被族人追杀，父亲将她收容了……” “也或是毛病就出在此！”仇奕森说着，好像又另想起了一回事：“你可曾注意到哈德门所住的地方，有着一幅兽皮所绘画的地图，后来失踪了！” 闵凤姑愕然，摇了摇头。 “摩洛必然知道详情！”仇奕森喃喃自语说：“闵三江为什么会收容这个土人女佣？可能是引狼入室啦！” 闵凤姑更是不解。“摩洛在我们家中做女佣已经有十七八年之久了！” 仇奕森说：“只有这一点对摩洛是最有利的解释！” 忽然，闵凤姑的脸色有异，她放下了酒杯，向仇奕森提出警告说：“骚胡子，你别动！” 跟着她就自腰间里拔出了闵家的飞刀，一扬手，两支飞刀同时出手，打仇奕森的脚底下飞过去，只听得一阵轻微的窜跳声响，鲜血飞溅。 原来在仇奕森脚底下有着一条雨伞毒蛇，是由床底下冒出来的。对付毒蛇的方法最重要是“以静对动”。 蛇本是不咬人的，它之噬人是受惊恐而反袭，闵凤姑平常就爱玩弄这些丑恶的动物，懂得它们的性情，所以首先警告仇奕森静坐着。 “嗯，用毒蛇暗算我这是第二次了！”仇奕森皱着眉宇说。 “据你的猜想是谁暗算你呢？” “在M市那卡诺酒店里，那是第一次，这是第二次了！” 闵凤姑有点不大相信，说：“两个地方的环境不同，总不可能是同一个人的阴谋吧？” 仇奕森以手帕将溅在身上的血迹拭去，边说：“你认为是谁会向我下毒手呢？” “我认为嫌疑最重的，莫过于是摩洛了，但是事情发生过后，摩洛一直未离开我们的视线，她不可能有机会作此恶作剧！” 仇奕森矜持着说：“当然，在'闵家花园'内一定有比摩洛更为可恶的人物！” “骚胡子，你在黑社会混久了，眼中看的每一个人都是可疑的，哈！”她傻笑了起来。“菲律宾产蛇是世界著名的，随便在哪儿发现毒蛇都不足为奇……” “像在M市的一流观光大饭店'那卡诺酒店'，发现毒蛇也不足为奇么？” “但是你却又指不出暗算你的是什么人呢！” 仇奕森一向是十分机警的，他发现情形有异，蓦地趋至窗前，以快捷的手法抽开窗门，向外一推——窗外赫然伫立着一个人，他想闪避开，已经来不及了。 奇怪，那竟是华云道呢。 “秃贼，你为什么老是对我鬼鬼祟祟？”仇奕森正色说。 华云道有恼羞成怒之色，向凤姑说：“现在是什么时候了？你为什么还不回到自己的房间里去？” 闵凤姑诧然说：“老家伙，你竟管到我的头上来了？” “不管你和仇奕森是什么称呼，在这个时间，孤男寡女同处一室，总是不应该的！” 仇奕森说：“秃贼，你用小人之心度君子之腹，无非是掩饰你的窘态罢了！” “不管怎样，被闵三爷知道，也会不高兴的！”华云道说着，掉头就离去了。 闵凤姑非常气恼，说：“奇怪，华云道那老儿老注意着我的行动！” “不！或许是注意着我的行动！” 闵凤姑便注意着地上的那条被劈为二段的毒蛇，矜持着说：“那么这条毒蛇会是谁放置的？……” “华云道不会这样不光明不磊落的，而且也没有这种必要！” 一夜的暴风雨是过去了。到了天色黎明时，台风的余威已告收敛，剩下的只是细微的阵雨。 忽然，周之龙上气不接下气地奔向大厦里来了。他脸无人色，精神委靡，拉大了嗓子怪叫着说：“不好了……那个土人给跑掉啦！……” 闵三江晨起正打算练他的早课，慌忙跑出门外来。“怎样跑掉的？” “搞不清楚，我派在仓库前面把守的弟兄，和一个土人孩子，全遇害了……” 大厦里的人被这阵骚扰惊醒了，纷纷起床。首先跑出来的是华云道和金姑。 金姑提着猎枪，急促地说：“这是不可能的事情，那个土番受了重伤，手脚又被捆绑，他自己怎样逃得了？” “一定是有人做内线帮他逃的！”华云道说。 “'闵家花园'内有内奸不成？”闵三江也恼了火。 银姑和凤姑也陆续走出房了。 “什么人会是内奸？”银姑问。 “妈的，假如不是内奸，那个土人怎样逃得了呢？”华云道也悻悻然说。 仇奕森向凤姑一招手，轻声说：“我们到摩洛的房间去看看！” 凤姑惊愕说：“你又怀疑那个土女佣么？” “不管，总得要去看看！” 凤姑便顺着仇奕森的意思，趋进内厅通进厨房左侧摩洛的睡房。 仇奕森先注意房间四周方地板，暴风雨之夜，假如有人外出，地板上不可能不会有痕迹留下。 凤姑敲了门。只听得房内那个土妇女佣一阵哈哈大笑，她踢开房门，是酒气醺醺的，脸孔红胀得像臭掉了的猪肝，她以悻然的语气说：“我早就猜到你们会怀疑在我的身上，其实呢，昨晚上我自回房后就大门未出过半步，你们都是精明的，只看地上的足迹就可以知道了。暴风雨的晚上，只要走出户外，必会带回来泥垢和水迹……” 仇奕森正色道：“你以为我们怀疑你什么呢？你知道出了什么事情吗？” “嗨！你们在敞听外面大声怪叫的，我什么话没听见？尤其是昨晚上我曾经主张把这个人杀掉！”摩洛满不在乎地说。 仇奕森似乎对摩洛无可如何，他绕至屋外走廊，摩洛的寝室靠窗的地方，有着许多凌乱的污泥足迹，他可以看得出那是光着足的，足趾的印迹十分显明。 “唔！”仇奕森颔首说：“这是土人的足迹，最低限度，摩洛没有走出房子，也有人来和她联络过了！” 凤姑说：“你也太武断了，巡夜的土人孩子经过这里来也未一定呀！” 仇奕森指着地板说：“你没看见足迹在窗前停留吗？而且足迹是对窗内的，分明是和窗内人说话！” “也或是他偷窥窗内呢？” 仇奕森仍坚持己见，一定认为那个负重伤的土番逃脱，和摩洛必有关系！ 是时，华云道等人已经赶往仓库方面去了。果然的那负责把守的弟兄遭了毒手，是用土人的砍山刀劈向后脑开了一个大裂口。他的手枪跌落在他的身旁的草堆中，很可能是他听得什么声息赶出来查看而遭了暗算。 那被派在仓库前负责联络传递消息的土人孩子却是被扼杀的，舌头吐在外面，浑身黝黑。 研究地上的足迹，帮助那土番逃走的绝不止一个人，其中有两个人将那土番架走的。循足迹追寻，因为风雨太大，逃走路线上足迹几乎全冲灭了。 彭澎是负责巡逻海岸的第一线的，他醺了整夜的酒，已经是酒醉迷糊的了，连走路也是歪歪倒倒的。 消息传递出来，那负伤的土番给逃掉了，彭澎奉命沿海再巡查一周，希望能查出他们逃出C岛的路线。土番们的来无影去无踪，使他们大感恐怖，至少是他们的“防线”有了漏隙。 彭澎却很意外的在海滩上发现了一摊血迹，经过雨水的冲刷，血水是陷进砂石里去了，但是只要稍微注意，那不可能不会发现的。 而且它的周围，还有许多凌乱的足迹和尸体拖拉的痕迹，尸体是被拖进海水里去了。 闵三江得到消息，即命人备了马，带领大批的人赶赴海滩上去，亲自勘察一番。 凤姑是最多话的，她看过了现场的情形后，即说：“难道说这是杀人灭口？” 金姑想不通，说：“杀了谁？” “自然是那个负了重伤的土番啦！” 金姑不肯相信，说：“难道说，谁将他救了出来之后，又把他杀掉了？” 凤姑说：“因为要杀他灭口！” 金姑以讥讽的语气说：“你是中毒了，中了仇奕森的毒，这个老家伙无非是在卖弄他的英雄主义，将我们统统当做傻瓜！” 仇奕森听了之后并不生气，他知道金姑之所以对他不满的原因，实在是因为他和凤姑有了太多的接触的关系。 金姑是为了孝道，也为了爱护她的妹妹，所以一而再地向他出恶言。 仇奕森自问心术是纯正的，金姑是属于他的晚辈，和她去较量这些，更显得自己的气度不够了，宁愿忍气吞声，笑骂由她。 仇奕森倒是着实地要看看闵三江究竟如何研判和处理这件事情，所以他很快地就趋至闵三江的身畔去了。 闵三江咒骂不已，说：“一点也不假，我们'闵家花园'，有了内奸了！究竟是谁做了内奸呢？” 当然，这是谁也没敢下武断的，除了那些土人孩子和周之龙留下的几个人，差不多大多数的人，和闵三江都是有着密切的关系！ “假如说，谁被我查出，我不会将他杀死的，那样太痛快他了，我会将他绑在广场上晒成肉乾以泄心头之恨！” 倏地，仇奕森有了新的发现，在沙滩近旁拖行尸首进入海水之中的凌乱足迹之中，有着一只缺少了足趾头的左脚脚印。 记得第一次魔摩岛土番进袭时，杀死了一个土人孩子，那时候，仇奕森在许多凌乱的足迹之中，就曾发现过有一只缺少了足趾头的足迹。 由此可见，任何事件发生都是有关联的。上次他们潜进来杀死了一个人，这一次又潜进来将被俘的土番绑架后屠杀。 问题可谓是愈来愈不简单了。 闵三江经过研究之后，向华云道说：“我们的布防实在太有问题了，连这些野蛮人都可以进出自如，实在太值得研究了！” 华云道瞪着了哈德门，说：“也许仇奕森说得对，这些土人孩子应该全给他们撤走啦！” 闵三江没有话说，驰马离去了。 周之龙战战兢兢趋至华云道的身畔，呐呐地说：“我们应聘来是对付海贼的，想不到还要应付野蛮人……” “假如说是为待遇问题，可以直接去找闵三爷商量！我不管闵家的钱财！” 周之龙说：“弟兄们的情绪非常不安，现在又多损失一个人了……” “你们的去留问题，于我无干！”华云道也愤然而去。 风雨已经停歇了，“闵家花园”内的每一个人情绪都显露得非常的不安。 哈德门指挥下的土人孩子又丧命了一名，他们又集合在广场上举行火葬的仪式，梆鼓的声音响彻云霄。 凤姑邀约仇奕森去参观，他们分乘了两匹白马，踪跃广场之上。 摩洛族人的习惯，不论婚丧喜庆，都离不开歌舞。火堆早已架好，团团围绕成一个大圈子，手舞足蹈的，以低沉的嗓音唱着一些令人难以懂得的歌词，声调是严肃而悲切的。 一尊摩洛族人始祖“摩特毛”的木偶神像，置在广场之前，两旁排列着鼓手，有节拍地敲击着。 那尊木像原是仇奕森在M市请名家雕型的，他搬进“闵家花园”里来用以测探哈德门的心理。 事实可以证明，哈德门虽然是闵三江的骨肉，但是他却是有“摩特毛”的血统，野蛮人的气质不易消除，“摩特毛”的神威永远在他的心中存在。 这其中的最大关键还恐怕是那个土妇女佣的关系。哈德门等于是她一手抚养大的，哈德门所有的番人生活习惯和知识，全是由摩洛教养而成。 这时候，摩洛又以巫师的姿势出现了，她跪在“摩特毛”的神像之前，喃喃祈祷，大伙儿以她的动作为主，跟随着舞蹈。 仇奕森向凤姑说：“这是'闵家花园'内隐伏着的危机，不知道什么时候才会爆发呢！” 闵凤姑不以为然，噘着唇说：“骚胡子，你太多疑惑了。也许是在C岛的时日太少，我们生活在C岛之上，土人的把戏由小至大都看多了，已经不足为奇啦！” 仇奕森说：“那么，土人们是经常要互相残杀的了？” 闵凤姑笑而不答，她每逢外出，都几乎要到她母亲的坟前献花凭吊一番的，孝心甚堪钦佩。可是仇奕森又感到也或是这座坟墓之前会有着凤姑的什么秘密。 雨后花园内的景色是一片清新，尤其台风过境后的阳光分外娇柔。 闵凤姑仍是老样子，她跪倒在墓前默祷。由她的行为可以看出，闵凤姑有一个根深蒂固的想法——“闵家花园”是她的母亲一手开辟出来的，这些产业应属于她全权所有。
海贼们全无消息，仇奕森派出两个最有力的“眼线”——巴法奴和雷诺——踏遍了C岛，也没有任何可值得提供的线索。 “闵家花园”内为着摩洛土番的骚扰，显得非常的不安。 哈德门所雇用的一些土人孩子不辞而别，逃掉了，他们调配而用的人员是愈来愈少了。 闵三江也
