Chapter 131 Sales
The bright sunshine spread on the calm sea, and for a moment the entire ocean surface was sparkling.
A group of seagulls hovered on the sea surface, and from time to time a group of flying fish crossed the sea surface, becoming the bloody food of seagulls.
Suddenly a seagull landed straight on a wooden pole. The thick wooden pole was rusty and surrounded by a slightly yellow sail.
"We have been out of the port for half a month. Mazu bless you, but you haven't encountered any strong winds and waves." A sailor in his early thirties on the deck smiled at the seagulls foraging not far away.
"Erzi, you're on the deck again, and took a lazy look." A big man walked over cursingly and grabbed the tiny braid on the back of the man's head.
"Oh, Mr. Li, Mr. Li, he is gentle, it hurts." The man shouted, showing a pleading look on his face.
"Isn't this a boring stay in the cabin? Come out and get some breath." The man in a torn shirt smiled embarrassedly and touched the back of his head.
"Get breathe? Hum?" The man who was called Master Li snorted coldly.
"Let me tell you, if one person under the cabin dares to starve to death, I will throw you down and feed the fish." The shirtless man said viciously.
Seeing the big man showing a fierce look on his face, the man did not say anything but hurriedly picked up the wooden barrel under his feet and ran towards the cabin.
Perhaps the man was scared by the big man and the man stumbled and ran to the side of the cargo holder. Along the way, a lot of brown liquid was sprinkled out of the wooden barrel.
"Why did Erlangzi arrive now?" A short man walked out of the warehouse, and the short braid on the back of his head could be vaguely seen with the faint light from the hatch.
"Why are these people so slow? These people haven't eaten for most of the day."
"Oh my God, it's even more smelly than a pigpen. No, I want to go up and get some breath." The short man pushed Erlangzi a slender whip and a key, and hurriedly left the stinky place.
Erlangzi also looked disgusted and slowly lowered the wooden barrel with his nose.
Around him, rows of wooden stakes were standing in the warehouse where the goods were supposed to be placed.
The wooden stakes were very thin, probably only the thick of human arms, but they were densely packed and divided the warehouse into several different prison cells.
"The old rules are: one dry cake for each person and one bowl of tea, don't rob it." The man used a spoon to slowly divide a large bucket of tea into several small buckets.
A large bunch of dried cookies was thrown into the cell by the man.
Suddenly, one pale hand after another stretched out in the dim corner.
No one robbed him, everyone just silently held their own cakes, and at the same time knelt in front of the wooden stake with their broken bowls, stretching out the bowl to pick up the tea.
A tall and thin man sat in a dim corner, holding half a pancake and nibbled silently. A young man next to him handed him a bowl of tea.
"Thank you, Erya." The young and strong man smiled, reached out and picked up the broken pottery bowl and poured water into his stomach.
The young man, known as Erya, was only fifteen or sixteen years old, shorter and thinner than his peers. He was now slid on the walls of the cabin with a piece of ceramic broken from a broken bowl.
"It's twenty-one days, Brother Li, we've been brought here for twenty-one days." Looking at the marks of one stroke, Erya whispered.
"Brother Li, I miss home, miss my father and mother." Erya started crying gently.
The young and strong man wiped the tears from the corners of his teeth's eyes, "It's been twenty-one days, and I'm still crying. I still miss the three acres of land at home. I'm no longer here. The landlord has to report the loss to me and take back the land."
Erya lowered her head, not sobbing, but silently gnawing on the cake.
"Brother Li, we are on the pirate ship. Where are we going to take us?" Erya muttered while gnawing on the cake.
"Who knows, I'm so cultivating the land at home. I was blind and listened to the words of Dahu from the next village and ran to the master to do a short-term worker, and I also paid for food and drink. Finally, I fell into this place." The young and strong man said helplessly.
For more than twenty days, he and Erya from the same village have been staying in this dark cabin. On weekdays, people give him dry cakes, sea fish and other things to satisfy their hunger. From time to time, people handed over a bucket of tea, but although they were hungry, they could not starve to death.
The large wooden barrels on the side were already full of excrement and emitted a foul smell.
Fortunately, I was not bullied with my strong body. Erya was excluded and bullied by others. Fortunately, I met myself in the same village and was protected by myself. I did not die when I helped each other for a while.
The group of people ate the cake silently, and after drinking the tea in the wooden barrel, they did not yell, but lay down and sat one by one.
The cabin returned to death again.
Carrying the wooden barrel, Erlangzi hurriedly ran out of the cabin and rushed straight to the deck.
"Oh my God, this smell is so irritating." Erlangzi shouted, and the wooden barrel beside him threw it directly to the ground.
"Master Li, you usually carry goods when you go to Southeast Asia secretly. This trip is not right. Why do you carry people?" Erlangzi breathed the fresh air on the deck and spoke to the shirtless man.
"Tsk, what do you know? Nanyang has a big shot." The man called Mr. Li whispered.
Mr. Li's voice was very small, and almost no one heard it. Erlang looked at Mr. Li in confusion.
"Okay, no need to ask. It's almost time to Luzon. I'll give more than 100 people under the boat tonight, and give them some dried fish and bean sprouts before leaving. Let them eat enough." Mr. Li said.
For more than one hundred people at the bottom of the ship, these twenty days were boring.
Although you can't starve to death, you can't fill your stomach. You can only squat in the corner of the wall or curl up like a dead dog.
Perhaps it was because of the short time. In such a small and stuffy environment, not many people were in a fever and coma.
However, many people's faces are yellow and white, and their bodies are quickly losing weight.
Finally, when night fell, the people in the lower cabin finally had a slightly better food.
Li Liuyi pushed away the people in front of him and snatched away a few pieces of dried fish and a bowl of fish soup.
Looking at Li Liu's strong body, several thin civilians retreated aside.
Li Liu handed a bowl of fish soup to Erya.
"Thank you Brother Li." Erya trembledly picked up the bowl and drank half a bowl of hot fish soup.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Brother Li, give it." Erya carefully handed the bowl to Li Liu.
Li Liu smiled and drank the fish soup in big mouthfuls.
"Brother Li, it seems that he is leaving." Erya murmured in a low voice.
"What's the matter?" Li Liu groaned as he bit the dried fish.
"I heard from my father that when the county master wants to cut off prisoners in prison, he will give the decapitated ghost a last meal." Erya chewed the fish, "Do you think this is the case?"
Li Liu knocked on Erya's forehead, but he was also confused in his heart.
Li Liu is a man who is not very good at seeing the big and thick ones, but his heart is very delicate.
After hearing Erya's words, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
"No, I really have to eat with a dead head. I'm only twenty-six. The girl at the entrance of the village has never touched her hand, and she just died here in such a ignorant sense." The more Li Liu thought about it, he became more and more afraid. He didn't fall asleep all night. Erya, who was beside him, fell asleep.
Looking at Li Liu rolling his eyes, I don’t know how long it took, just as Li Liu was drowsy.
A sound of the chain loosening came, and Li Liu slowly opened his eyes, and saw that the chain locked in the cell was untied, and several thieves holding the cold steel sword broke in with ferocious faces.
"Line up for me, the big man is forward and the small man is behind." A leader shouted loudly.
Some people understood, while more people were still in a daze and were forced to separate by a steel knife.
Li Liu and his teeth were also separated, and the thin two teeth were directly separated at the end.
Li Liu stood in front and walked out of the cabin under the guidance of a strange man holding a steel knife.
Li Liu felt a little uneasy and had been taken here for more than twenty days. This was the first time they were asked to go out.
Soon a dazzling light shone on his face, and Li Liu's eyes stinged.
There is only a small window in the cabin that can penetrate the sun. On weekdays, the cabin is dim. When shining with such dazzling sunlight, Li Liu instinctively covered his eyes.
The strange sailor on the side pulled Li Liu to the deck impatiently. After walking to the deck, Li Liu barely adapted to the light.
He lowered his head and squinted his eyes and looked at everything strange around him.
"Don't stand there, go forward." A sailor shouted loudly.
Soon a group of people were roughly stuffed into a small boat by sailors. The small boat was filled with more than 30 people, and seven or eight sailors slowly rowed towards the shore not far away with their oars.
