Chapter 17.17. Return
These small fishing villages along the coast had been robbed by these people before, but in the past they would just take the goods and leave. Now they were insane and massacred the entire village.

These are their common enemies. If Gu Kaiyuan can really wipe them out, it will be a way for them to vent their anger.

Moreover, the guide had already planned out an escape route for them and offered them such a generous reward. If they refused such a good deal, they would be considered unreasonable.

Gu Kaiyuan knew that speed was of the essence in war, and since several days had already been wasted, he was afraid that those people had already found a new place to stay, so he immediately decided to set off that day.

Bai Suihe tried to go with them but failed, but Granny Pang managed to squeeze onto the boat.

In her words, although Gu Kaiyuan and the others had been taught, she was still the one who could master the use of medicine, and she also had martial arts skills, so going there would only be beneficial.

What she didn't say was that she was still worried about such a risky undertaking and had to keep an eye on things.

The lady and young lady have finally had a good life, so they can't let anything happen to Gu Kaiyuan, otherwise, how will she explain it to Madam Bai?

Gu Xingyang watched the boat sail further and further away with envy. "Mother, when can I go out to sea?"

Bai Suihe looked into the distance, her voice tinged with bitterness, "I miss your mother too."

She clearly had the ability to protect herself, yet she was still treated as a burden. Who could understand that feeling?

Just now, when Granny Pang boarded the ship, she disguised herself as a middle-aged man; otherwise, it would have taken a lot of effort to persuade her.

Here, women are not allowed to board the boat. It is believed that women belong to Yin and men belong to Yang. The combination of boat and water makes it a place with extremely heavy Yin energy, which will bring bad luck.

Time was tight, and Bai Suihe didn't want to get entangled with them. Besides, she was young and inexperienced, and she was afraid of revealing her weaknesses, so she had no choice but to give up.

As for the future, her family owns a shipyard, so she can have her own boats and play with them.

Bai Suihe didn't sleep that night. She arrived at the shore early the next morning and waited. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the boats coming from afar.

Gu Kaiyuan stood at the bow of the boat and when he saw Bai Suihe, a smile spread across his face. Nothing was happier than the feeling of coming home to find someone waiting for you.

"The sun is so bright, why didn't you stay home and wait?" Gu Kaiyuan raised his straw hat to shield her from the sun.

Bai Suihe: "Thankfully, the morning sun wasn't too strong. How is it? Everything went smoothly, right?"

She had looked him up and down and found nothing amiss before turning to Granny Pang behind him. Seeing that everyone was unharmed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It went smoothly. Let's go back and talk." Having their own village is a wonderful thing; at least they don't have to worry about attracting attention when they travel back and forth.

Lin Hua and his group stayed behind, settled accounts with the fishermen who had led the way, and saw them out of the village before returning.

"We found their hideout and also dealt with some potential problems along the way," Gu Kaiyuan explained in a few words.

"That's it? No fighting involved?"

Gu Kaiyuan glanced at Granny Pang and laughed heartily, "This is the easiest battle I've ever fought. Yesterday, even God was protecting us!"
They finally found their way to the beach, where the little dwarfs were sitting and holding some kind of ceremony. Judging from their strange-looking dance, it seemed like they were praying.

The wind was blowing in the right direction, so the old woman raised her hand, waited a moment, and everyone fell down.

"You guys are in front of those fishermen who were leading the way..." Bai Suihe hesitated. If any one of them said a few words, they would be in danger. "Don't worry, we're not that stupid. Once we found the place, they were even more scared than us. They rowed the small boat I provided and quickly moved far away."

As for what we did, they couldn't see it, and we were very quick. After confirming that they had all been infected, we gave them a quick death.

After resolving the issue, we rushed back without mentioning a word to those people, only saying that we would scout the area first and then report to the authorities.

As for the follow-up issues, if those people are smart enough, they won't ask any more questions.

After all, Gu Kaiyuan will continue to develop his career here, so he can't be known as ruthless.

Don't be fooled by those short men who kill and plunder. There are always some people with a saintly heart who don't feel pain unless the knife cuts them. They think that things are over and there's no need to go after them.

Although most people are rational, there are always a few bad apples in the pan. They won't kill you, but they're still quite unpleasant.

Now that he's helped those people out, Gu Kaiyuan plans to find some time to take Bai Suihe out again to collect the belongings.

Although he didn't search carefully, some of those people's belongings were still on that small island.

After finishing their meal and resting properly, Gu Xingyang became more lively. "Daddy, take me with you! I'll take you there, and I guarantee he won't leave a single copper coin behind."

"This is a trip out to sea. What if we encounter storms? Won't you be scared?" Gu Kaiyuan didn't answer directly, but teased her instead.

"What's there to be afraid of? With me here, even if there are storms, they won't be able to rise up."

"You dealt with the person yesterday, so we'd better hurry up and bring the things back today, or we'll end up doing someone else's favor." Gu Xingyang earnestly advised, "If money falls from the sky, someone else might pick it up if you're not diligent."

Bai Suihe picked up Gu Xingyang and said, "Alright, you two stop bickering here. If I wasn't taking you, I wouldn't have let you know."

You should hurry up and get some sleep. We'll call you when we get there, and you can do your part.

Gu Xingyang refused to fall for it this time, shaking her head like a rattle drum. "No, no, you said the same thing last time. By the time I woke up, you would have already finished everything."

"I've already suffered so many losses; to fall for it again would be incredibly stupid."

"You little rascal, you're starting to be wary of me now," Gu Xingyang said, knowing her past record, it was normal for her not to believe her, but this time she really didn't intend to lie.

It's said that the island is that big; if they miss it, it will be a loss for their family.

"You don't trust your parents anymore?"

Gu Xingyang chuckled, "I want to believe it too, but Mom and Dad, please don't lie to me."

Gu Kaiyuan awkwardly touched his nose. It seemed that Bai Suihe had done more of the deception towards his daughter, and he was being blamed for it.

However, they had to do this in secret. Gu Kaiyuan came up with a lame excuse, saying that he was going to take Bai Suihe and her daughter to see the sunrise, and it would just be the three of them going.

The only one they needed to explain was Granny Pang. Granny Pang gave them a deep look, then ignored them and turned to go into the medicine room.

Gu Xingyang, that little guy, somehow managed to stay awake until they boarded the boat. Gu Kaiyuan started rowing, moving away from the shore, and only then did he finally fall asleep.
