Chapter 2508 My Wife is a Pirate 37
The treasure was divided equally as agreed.
Bu Changji looked at the boxes full of gold, silver and treasures after counting and recording, and a smile from the heart finally appeared on his face.

Bu Changji ran to Jinchen and asked expectantly, "Husband, will you go with me next?"
Jin Chen was wiping a sword he had seized. He looked up when he heard the words and asked, "Where are you going?"
Bu Changji moved closer and his tone became serious.
"It's a long way from Bailangao. It's not very close. It takes several days to travel by water. It's not as prosperous and peaceful as here."
He paused, his eyes softening. "Many of the pirates I've recruited have families living in that area. They can't settle down on land, so they've been living on dilapidated fishing boats for generations. They're called 'sea shrimps' by the people on land, and their lives are very hard."
"They took us in when we were in trouble before..."
Bu Changji's voice lowered, a touch of sadness lingering. "But later, for some unknown reason, several people in Shuiao contracted a strange disease that lives near the water. They became weak all over, and red sores appeared on their bodies. They never healed, and in severe cases, they were even fatal."
"They urgently need a lot of money to hire better doctors and buy expensive medicine...but the court has long since ignored them and doesn't care about their lives at all."
He gestured with his fingers, "There are four water holes in total, and there are so many people... I can't just ignore them."
As he spoke, he pursed his lips, put his arms around Jinchen's waist, and pressed his face against his chest. His voice was muffled and full of reluctance.
"This trip back and forth, plus arranging for them to see a doctor and buy medicine, will probably take three to five months... I can't bear to leave you."
"Husband, please come with me, okay?"
Jinchen put down the sword in his hand, hugged him with his backhand, rubbed his warm palms gently on his back, and without any hesitation, replied: "Okay."
Bu Changji suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up instantly, "Really?!"
"Yeah." Jinchen looked at his surprised expression and lowered his head to kiss his forehead. "When do we leave?"
"As soon as possible!" Bu Changji jumped up happily and kissed her back hard.
"I'll have them prepare the boat and supplies. You're the best, my husband!"

Ever since they learned that the Shilang Pirates would be leaving Bailangao temporarily to go on a long journey, the fishermen had spontaneously sent a lot of dried fish, pickled vegetables, rice, and homemade sweet wine. These were all solid foods that could be stored for a long time and eaten at sea.
Everyone felt relieved only after they got Bu Changji's promise that he would come back here to form a contract.
The head of the village even promised that when they come back next time, everything needed for the contract will be prepared properly and the ceremony will be held in a lively manner.
On the day when the Shilang ship was about to set sail, Fang Yunyao and Yue Ling had also packed their luggage, ready to escort the batch of heavy weapons obtained from the treasure house back to the capital to confront Prince Jing.
Fang Yunyao came over specially to see him off, and said sincerely, "When you two want to form a bond in the future, please write to let me know, and I will definitely prepare a generous gift for you!"
Bu Changji stuffed the antidote he had prepared long ago into Fang Yunyao's hands, but he was not forgiving in his words, "First, you have to save your life from your father, then you can talk big."
Fang Yunyao was choked and sighed helplessly and aggrievedly.
"Alas...it's because you guys don't want to go to the capital with me, otherwise..."
He glanced at the calm Jinchen next to him and muttered quietly, "How about letting this evil... oh no, this warrior help me to calm the situation? That would be great."
Jinchen:?
Bu Changji immediately hugged Jinchen's arm tightly and glared at him, "Bah! Wishful thinking! Jinchen is mine, isn't it enough that you have General Yue Ling?"
After saying that, he raised his chin proudly and said, "Although...it's definitely not as good as mine."
Fang Yunyao: “…”
He was speechless.
Jin Chen laughed and rubbed Bu Changji's head with his hand, "Not even one ten-thousandth of my husband's."
Bu Changji instantly felt comfortable with his fur stroked. He turned around contentedly and waved goodbye to Fang Yunyao.
Then he took Jinchen's hand and ran happily onto the deck of the Shilang ship, shouting orders.
"Brothers! Set sail!"
"Let's go!" The pirates responded in unison, shouting rough calls, reeling in the anchor chains and raising the sails.
The huge Wave-killing ship slowly sailed away from the familiar harbor again and headed towards the depths of the vast ocean.
The sky is high and the sea is vast, and the wind and waves are particularly gentle on this day.
The azure sky and the deep sea meet in the distance, blending into one color, making it almost impossible to tell the difference.
Bu Changji's heart was filled with joy, and happiness was clearly written on his face.
When he saw Jinchen sitting leisurely on the railing at the bow of the boat, he rushed over again and insisted on squeezing into his arms.
Jinchen caught the person and held him firmly in front of him.
The sea breeze blew gently, blowing up the hair of the two people and intertwining them.
They snuggled together, kissing each other.

The Wave-Slaying Ship sailed along, gradually approaching the coast which was very unfamiliar to Jinchen.
The scenery here is completely different from that of Bailangao.
There were no decent houses to be seen on the shore, only densely packed, various, and somewhat dilapidated fishing boats huddled together, connected to each other with thick iron chains. They swayed gently with the waves, and the air was filled with a strong fishy smell and... a faint smell of illness.
Bu Changji stood beside Jinchen and pointed at the group of boats. "This is Tiesuoao. The people who live here can only go ashore occasionally, but they can only move around on the mudflats over there. Those low clamshell huts over there were actually built by us secretly despite the pressure from the government."
A pirate boy was waiting on the shore. When he saw the big ship approaching, he waved excitedly.
However, the entire boat bay was unusually quiet, with almost no human figures to be seen, exuding an indescribable sense of weirdness.
Jinchen frowned slightly, and pulled Bu Changji, who wanted to get off the boat immediately, with a little force on his wrist.
"Did you leave anyone here when you left?"
Bu Changji nodded. "Well, we left behind about twenty brothers to guard and help defend against the occasional small groups of pirates. What's the matter?"
Jin Chen's sharp eyes swept over the seemingly enthusiastic Sea Thirty-One on the shore and the overly quiet group of boats, and he whispered, "Something's not right here... To be more precise, the person waiting for you on the shore isn't in a good state."
Hai Shisan, who was following nearby, came over and laughed, "You're overthinking it, right? He's our own brother, Thirty-One!"
Bu Changji thought for a moment and chose to believe Jinchen.
He immediately turned around and gave orders to the brothers behind him who were preparing to move supplies.
"Don't move, be careful and alert!"
The pirates always obeyed their boss's orders, so they immediately stopped their actions and unconsciously pressed the big swords at their waists.
Bu Changji and Jinchen were the first to get off the boat, bringing only a few good fighters including Hai Shisan with them.
Hai Sanshiyi, who was standing on the shore, came up to him with a smile on his face. "Boss Bu! You're finally back..."
"Boss Bu!!!"
Suddenly, an old, hoarse voice, full of pain and fear, came from the dilapidated fishing boat next to them.
I saw a ragged, skinny old man crawling to the shore.
His exposed skin was covered with alarming red sores, some of which had festered and oozing pus, and he was obviously in pain.
The old man's legs were powerless and he crawled on the ground. When he saw Hai Sanshiyi, his first reaction was to hold his head with both hands in fear, but his cloudy eyes stared at Bu Changji and he screamed with all his strength.
"Boss Bu! Save... save us! The people you left behind are rebelling... they..."
Before he finished speaking, Hai Sanshiyi's face suddenly changed, with a fierce light in his eyes. He suddenly drew out his sword and slashed at the old man.
"Thirty-one!" Bu Changji was shocked and angry.
