Rebirth from Conan

Chapter 209 Where to go next?
"Mayor Valentine!"

The sudden scene frightened all the residents.

The two leading men, armed with flintlock rifles, were about to shoot to avenge the mayor, but just as they raised their guns, two lead bullets flew over and took their lives.

Looking at the three bodies lying on the ground, and then looking up at Xia He riding on the sheriff's back, at this moment, everyone felt fear.

The scene fell into an eerie silence.

After a while, Xia He suddenly fired another shot into the sky and asked, "Now, is there anyone who wants to keep us?"

Bang!

The sound of hoes and sickles falling to the ground.

Although the person who said this was just a kid who looked only about four years old in their eyes, after seeing Xia He's marksmanship with their own eyes, no one dared to raise any objections.

"very good."

Seeing this, Xia He nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, we're leaving now."

"As the source of the infectious disease, isn't it what you expect us to voluntarily leave this island?"

"Or is it that your conscience won't allow you to watch the 'virus' escape and infect the residents of other islands?"

"If it's the latter, then you can try and see if you can use your life to keep us here."

The tender voice of a child echoed in the air.

After about ten seconds, seeing that the scene was still silent, Xia He lowered his voice and said to several sheriffs, "Okay, take Pat with you, and let's go back to the port."

"it is good……"

……

On the way back.

The four sheriffs did not dare to look back from beginning to end.

It was not until they arrived under the pirate ship docked in front of the port that they breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their faces.

"Are we...safe?" asked Sheriff Freckles.

"Yeah." Xia He nodded.

He hardly sensed any trace of murderous intent now. It was obvious that his thundering move just now was very successful. At least in the short term, it did intimidate the civilians.

"Hurry up and get on the boat and leave, to avoid any more accidents later."

"okay!"

Upon hearing this, the four of them hurriedly helped Pat onto the pirate ship.

Xia He, who was following behind, took advantage of this gap to put his consciousness into the system.

[You completed the mission: Save the pure love warrior Pat]

[Reward: Treasure Hunt Times x1]

Yes, that's right.

When Pat turned around and ran back to the town, a task prompt popped up in Xia He's mind, asking him to save the life of the sheriff named Pat.

In fact, to be honest, even if this task did not pop up, Xia He would still choose to take the other four people to rescue Pat together.

It was because the reason he asked Pat to go back in the first place was to make these "abandoned" sheriffs obey him wholeheartedly.

He knows too well the ugliness of human nature.

Xia He could guess without any hesitation what Pat would encounter when he returned to town.

Therefore, when the other person is in desperate situation, you take the initiative to take risks and save the other person's life... Is such a favor worth spending your whole life to repay?

As for his purpose of doing this...

Very simple. At present, Xia He, who is less than one year old, is too weak.

He needs to cultivate his own confidants.

Even the kind that can help him block the knife.

As expected, the boat had just started when Pat pushed away the two brothers who were supporting him, suddenly knelt on the ground, and kowtowed heavily to Xia He.

"My little benefactor, you saved my life. From now on, as long as I am alive, I will definitely protect your safety." After saying that, as if he felt that Xia He might not trust him, he immediately added, "Don't look at me like this. When I first became a sheriff ten years ago, I was actually quite good at fighting..."

"There's no need for this."

Seeing this, Xia He wanted to help Pat up, but he was too short and couldn't help after several attempts. So he continued, "I volunteered to save you. You don't have to take it to heart. Also, just call me Xia He. Don't call me little benefactor. That would burden me."

"Yeah." Pat responded in a very dull voice.

In fact, he still kept Xia He's kindness in his heart.

"You're out of danger now. Let me take care of your wound first." Xia He turned to look at Minian who was steering the ship. "I remember there seemed to be a lot of medical supplies on this ship. Go and get them all to the deck for me."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Minian immediately ran to the cabin.

Immediately afterwards, the other four sheriffs came forward one after another and, under Xia He's instructions, began to help Pat take off his clothes.

After a while.

Feeling the severe pain in his abdomen, Pat couldn't help but ask, "Can I... still survive?"

"Of course." Xia He, who was performing surgery on Pat, responded with a very reassuring smile. "Fortunately, you are fat. The bullet only penetrated into the skin and flesh, and did not hurt the internal organs. After the suturing, you should be able to recover after resting for a month or two."

Pat grinned when he heard this.

"Xiao En... cough, Xia He, thank you." As he spoke, he reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"You're welcome." Handing the extra needle and thread back to Minnian, Xia He patted Pat's head with his little hand.

Pat: (﹏)
……

Two days later.

"Meow!"

Dousha lay on Xia He's little head and yawned.

Xia He sat at the bow with Minian, studying the map.

"Where are we going next?" asked Minnian.

Not only her, but everyone on the boat, after escaping from Karavis Island, had already regarded Xia He as their "backbone".

"We have to go to a place where I can concentrate on making medicine and your parents can rest assured to recuperate..." Xia He muttered softly.

Finally, they set their sights on two islands that were off the mainstream routes.

One is located on the west side and is called "Swan Island".

One is located on the east side and is called "Roccadilli Island".

"The areas of these two islands are relatively small, and there are almost no resources on the islands. I think there should be few pirates passing by here for supplies."

"Are we going west or east?" Minian walked to the rudder, waiting for Xia He to make a decision, and then immediately changed direction.

"West or East?"

Xia He thought carefully for a while.

Then, he tore the two islands off the map, crumpled them into a ball, closed his eyes, and shuffled them at random.

"Go wherever you catch them."

After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed one of the paper balls.
