Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At noon, at the dragon head dock, Yuan Zhao Di sat under the shade of a tree with a straw hat in his hand, fanning himself to relieve the heat.

It was not summer season yet, but the weather was already hot. The weather should not be this hot since the dock was near water, but that day was weirdly scorching.

“Damn it, is there going to be a drought this year?”

Looking at the untimely sun, Yuan Zhao Di started feeling uneasy. If there was a drought, they had to stock up on food.

Their family had a large population, especially many boys.

As the saying goes, “A grown kid eats until his father is poor.”

There were more than ten boys in the Yuan family, and each had a huge appetite.

“Manager Yuan, the ship is here!”

Before Yuan Zhao Di could think things through, someone shouted from the dock.

The arrival of the ship meant that work was coming.

Although Yuan Zhao Di did not exert much effort, he had to allocate the labor to the other staff, and it was not a simple task.

The cargo on the ship had to be unloaded quickly. After all, no one knew when the next ship would arrive. Once there were too many ships, the process of unloading the goods got slow.

The dragon head dock was just a small dock, so there shouldn’t be many cargo ships coming and going from the small dock. However, there would always be a period when the cargo ships flooded the dock every year.

It was also not appropriate to expand the dock under such circumstances.

After all, the money needed to expand the dock was not small, and no one could guarantee that the money could be earned back. Smart people would not spend so much money.

Yuan Zhao Di quickly called for a group of laborers, organized them, and lined them to board the ship.

Yuan Zhao Di was already very experienced in doing such things.

Not long after, the cargo ship stopped at the dock. After the handover, the workers came on out.

Yuan Zhao Di stood guard by the bridge, taking people with him to count and register all the goods. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

The person in charge of the lookout informed Yuan Zhao Di immediately when he saw more boats approaching the river.

Yuan Zhao Di quickly gathered another team of workers and got them ready to board the ship.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the new ship was not a cargo ship.

The moment the boat reached the shore, the people on the boat rushed down with knives, spears, and clubs.

“Pirates!”

“Hurry up and run!”

“The pirates are here!”

In an instant, the dock was in chaos.

No one had expected this sudden turn of events.

Yuan Zhao Di, who was about to approach the ship, roared and turned to run when he realized that the people on the ship were pirates.

The pirates are here. If we don’t run, we’ll die!

At this moment, no one thought about why the pirates would be so bold as to attack the dock. Their lives were the most important.

Yuan Zhao Di ran fast, but the large number of laborers running along the way blocked his way forward.

At this moment, the pirates had already reached the pier.

Looking at the dense crowd in front of him, Yuan Zhao Di knew that he would not be able to escape the pirates’ knives at this speed.

After some thought, Yuan Zhao Di decided to stumble and fall into the water from the bridge.

There were too many people at the dock, and escaping could be challenging. Jumping into the water might be a way out.

However, a pirate was shooting those in the water with a bow.
