The Japanese pirates regarded Wei Ruo with a surprised look, appearing to seriously consider the feasibility of her proposition.
After some thinking, the pirate continued in his broken Chinese asking, ‘What can you, offer?”
“I am an expert in agriculture. I have many farming techniques at my command, capable of altering soil properties and increasing food production.” Wei Ruo knew about the conditions in Japan. It was an island nation with extremely scarce land resources, where agriculture was not very developed and arable land was severely limited.
She also knew some Japanese customs and knew how to hit their pain points. “Can you grow more, food?”
“Yes, I can grow more food, whether it’s barren land, coastal saline-alkali land or steep mountain terrain. Once successful, it can feed more people in your country.”
Wei Ruo knew she was predominantly exaggerating. The improvements that could be made to the land were limited, and some places didn’t warrant renovation due to high costs of renovation or subsequent maintenance.
“How do I know, you are not lying?” the pirate asked.
“The method of improving the land in the southern city area that you have seen was devised by me. You have been lingering on the East Coast for a long time. You should know that this place was a wasteland before. If I could improve it here, I can also help you improve it in Japan.” Wei Ruo responded.
“Wei Qingruo, what are you doing? Why are you talking to these two Japanese pirates? Are you going to help them grow food so they can eat and drink well to fight us? They are pirates, robbers, ruthless murderers!” Wei Yilin cursed.
Wei Ruo gave Wei Yilin a glance; did he think she was not aware of what he was saying? She also hated these pirates, but they had to first look at their current situation, didn’t they?
Vengeance is a dish best-served cold! She needed to save her life first before she could think of a way to deal with these people.
If she didn’t have her life, everything else was gibberish.
Now, the Wei Family was searching for her throughout the city. With Meimei nearby, she had a chance to escape.
What she needed to do was to protect herself as much as possible before they found her.
Ignoring Wei Yilin, Wei Ruo turned to the pirate with a smile, “Don’t mind him, this kid, he’s not clear-headed.”
“He says he is, the son of Colonel Wei, he calls you, sister, you are also, the daughter of Colonel Wei.” While the pirate was not fluent in Chinese, he was very clear-headed.
“Yes, I am the daughter of Colonel Wei. But I am in your hands now, I want to hve, so I am willing to provide my value, to achieve a win-win situation for both of us. This has nothing to do with who I am.” Wei Ruo persuaded.
After hearing Wei Ruo’s words, the pirate did not immediately respond. Instead, he withdrew to the outside of the cave to discuss with the other pirate. While the two pirates were whispering and discussing something, Wei Yilin asked Wei Ruo, “Wei Qingruo, what do you want to do?”
“What? Survival, can’t you see?”
“What you’re doing is very shameful!”
Wei Yilin, can you distinguish between disgracing and foolishness?”
You’re betraying your country, betraying countless frontier soldiers you…you’re ungrateful!” Wei Yilin thought for a while before using the word “ungrateful” to scold Wei Ruo.
“Who did I betray, who did I kill? It’s you, who runs around and gets me involved in your misfortune. You’re the one who’s going to get me killed!” “You!” Wei Yilin was once again at a loss for words.
“If you have something to say; just keep scolding, I’ll take it as a lullaby.” Wei Ruo replied calmly.
Being tied up by two pirates and held in a cave is a daunting experience. Having someone else’s voice muttering could alleviate the tense atmosphere.
