The two of them were stunned, and when they followed the voice, they saw a thin and tall young man standing not far behind the man, with handsome eyebrows and a calm and indifferent demeanor, it was Wen Jianning's cheap cousin Wen Baiqing.

The man suddenly looked at Wen Jianning in disbelief.

Before, the light was dim here, and he only saw that this little girl looked stupid and holding dirty clothes in her hands, but he didn't notice that the clothes on her body were exquisite and exquisite, and at first glance it was not something ordinary people could afford to wear. Listening to this young man's words again, he didn't know that this little girl was likely to be a first-class person.

If no one had come before, it would have been fine, and when they saw the situation, the person suddenly had the intention of retreating.

Although he is not stingy, he also knows who can be messed with and who cannot be provoked. Knowing that he had met the person in the first-class cabin, even if the other party was just two children who had not dried up, he didn't dare to come hard, so he ran away from Wen Jianning directly.

After the others left, Wen Baiqing breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and asked her, "What are you doing here?"

Without waiting for Wen Jianning to answer, he had already turned his eyes and saw the dirty clothes she was holding in her hand, and his tone was still hard: "Give me the clothes, and I'll find someone to wash them for you." ”

Wen Jianning was stunned for a moment, and was about to give him the dirty clothes in his hand, but he heard him say with a little disgust: "Forget it, you take it first, and then give it to me when you go back later." ”

After speaking, he naturally took Wen Jianning's little hand and walked back.

Wen Jianning had no choice but to hold his clothes in one hand and follow behind him.

After only taking two steps, Wen Baiqing suddenly remembered something, stopped, frowned, glanced at her little hand and asked, "Have you washed your hands after changing your clothes before?"

Wen Jianning said obediently: "Washed." ”

"Oh. ”

Wen Baiqing took her hand and continued to walk forward.

"But I didn't take a shower. ”

Wen Baiqing stopped and glared at her before raising his feet and continuing forward, sending her back to the door of the room before warning: "Don't run around, and don't come into contact with these people." Next time, I just didn't see it, and you were captured by some bad guys. ”

Without waiting for Wen Jianning to nod in agreement, he turned around and left with his dirty clothes.

Wen Jianning stood at the door, watching the thin and tall back of the young man walk away, and then returned to his room.

For the next few days, Wen Jianning spent almost all of his time in his room.

The weather at sea was always bad, the wind and waves were strong, and the boat was so jolting that Mr. Qi couldn't go to class at all.

Wen Jianning has been living with the Ming family and his wife on a fishing boat since he was a child, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of bump. And Wen Jianwan and a few of their young ladies who don't go out of the door on weekdays have suffered a lot. From the first day, they vomited and cried to go home.

The second wife was so busy that she coaxed this and that, and wanted to send someone to find the doctor on the ship, but when she turned around, she found that the maids were also seasick. She couldn't get around by herself, not only called Mr. Qi to help, but occasionally had to call the two children, Jianning and Bai Qing, to help.

As for Mei Shan, she is naturally unreliable.

Mei Shan has been like a fish in water since she hit the boat, and she runs to the dance hall all day long to dance with the blue-eyed foreigners, and there is no one to be seen.

The second wife scolded Mei Shan behind her back for being a fox, and turned her head to ask Mei Shan to teach her how to dance.

Fortunately, I saw that the few of them were just uncomfortable for a while, and they improved slightly after taking the medicine. But they could only stay in their respective rooms to recuperate, and could not go anywhere, only when the adults were occasionally taken to the deck to breathe, and listen to the saxophone from the ballroom, and my heart tickled.

But Mo said that they were still sick, even if they were in good health, and the second wife was watching, they would not let their little girls go to an improper place like the dance hall.

Until this night, Wen Jianning didn't sleep well after the lights were out, and when he was tossing and turning in bed thinking about his aunt and them, he suddenly heard a slight footstep outside the door.

Although several people passing by repeatedly slowed their steps, one of them still landed a little heavier, and was immediately whispered by his partner, and then he crept past her door like a thief.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Wen Jianning heard that it seemed to be Jianwan who spoke.

What are they going to do when they don't sleep so late?

Wen Jianning had doubts in his heart, and climbed down from the bed, without alarming the spring peach who was laying on the floor on the side.

Chun Tao has taken seasickness medicine these few nights, and she can sleep until noon the next day, and she is snoring slightly on the side, even if people scream, she may not wake up.

When Wen Jianning pushed open the door, he happened to see a disappearing corner of his clothes at the corner of the corridor.

She thought about it for a moment and decided to follow them.

Maybe Wen Jianning and this ship really don't deal with each other.

Although she quickly chased after them, not only did she not find any trace of them, but she was first stunned by the corridors that extended in all directions. Fortunately, she finally found her way back, and returned to the door of the room along the corridor, and was about to push the door open, when she suddenly stopped moving.

- She can't sleep left and right, so it's better to go out and breathe.

Although Wen Jianning was unfamiliar with the road in the cabin, she still remembered the way to the deck.

When she got up, she found that it was late at night, and the deck was empty. Only a small dim lamp hung from the pole at the stern of the ship, which gloomily illuminated the goods scattered there, covered with a few tarpaulins for a simple protection from moisture.

Wen Jianning still remembered that when she first got on the boat, the deck was full of people and bedding rolls, which was very dirty, and the second wife warned her in disgust not to run around on the deck, so as not to be infected with fleas. Later, I heard that a pregnant woman had given birth on deck, and the people on board felt unlucky, and drove all the poor people on deck to the bilge and huddled together.

The salty sea breeze blows in your face, and it is a bit biting cold.

During the day, the sky is always gray, and at night, the dark clouds are blown away by the wind. The bright moonlight fell from the clouds and shone on the sea, and the sparkling sea water was a little less solemn and heavy on weekdays, and a little more dangerous and mysterious.

Wen Jianning walked from the bow to the stern of the boat alone, and then from the stern to the bow of the boat, back and forth a few times, not only did not feel that the restlessness that made her difficult to sleep before subsided, but was blown by the cold wind and sneezed several times.

She was about to go back when she heard a jumble of footsteps behind her, as if a large group of people were coming.

Wen Jianning's heart jumped, and he suddenly had a premonition of danger.

Before her mind could make a judgment, she had lifted the oilcloth and ducked into the pile with a clever drill.

She was hiding in just the right place, and the pile of goods in front of her was not fully covered with oilcloth. Through that gap, she could see the feet of the incoming people.

There were a lot of people in this group, about a dozen or twenty people. Several of them were dragged to the ground with a heavy foot. These people are tall and short, and they may be women and children, but Wen Jianning is not sure, because the distance is far away, the lights are dim, and the shadows are indistinguishable.

A voice said a little flatteringly: "Doctor, let's see if these can be cured." It is not easy to transport a trip, and one less is one less money. If you can cure it, you can cure it. ”

Wen Jianning was a little familiar when she heard the voice, and after thinking about it for a long time, she remembered that this person seemed to be a rotten tooth she had seen a few days ago.

Then she heard the disgusted voice of the man called the doctor say, "If it can't be cured, throw it away, so as not to infect other people." This voice is also a little familiar, it seems to be the doctor who prescribed seasickness medicine to Jianwan and them before, and he spoke with a pleasant face, but he didn't expect to change as soon as he turned around.

The man with a rotten tooth answered and beckoned to the other.

One of them hugged his head, the other hugged his feet, and walked to the side of the ship like a cargo and threw the person down.

Wen Jianning only heard the sound of falling water, and the person who was still gasping for a second had been completely buried in the waves.

She couldn't help but gasp, and the next moment someone covered her mouth tightly from behind.

However, those in front of him immediately noticed it.

"There seems to be a sound over there. ”

Wen Jianning and the hearts of the people behind her were about to raise their throats.

The man with a rotten tooth was about to go over to check, and the doctor behind him said: "No need, just see it, it's not easy to deal with it if you move it, don't do it again." "After all, this point is still going to the deck, and it is unlikely that it is the people in the bilge.

The man glanced at the pile again, then withdrew his gaze and walked back slowly.

Wen Jianning felt that the hand covering her mouth was released, and her tense body gradually relaxed. She could see the faces of the people behind her through the light that came through.

It's Wen Baiqing.

One big and one small were in this corner, staring at each other for a long time.

The group in the distance was still throwing people under the boat. There was more than one infected person, and as the doctor's mouth continued to spit out the cold sentence, the sound of falling water sounded again and again.

Because of the distance, the splash didn't sound loud, but it was like a small hammer, and every time it was knocked, a human life disappeared into this world, knocking on the hearts of Wen Jianning and Wen Baiqing.

During this period, no one resisted and wanted to escape, but after only a few steps of running, he was caught and punched and kicked, and after venting, he was thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

The fist hit the flesh with a dull sound that made the scalp tingle.

After waiting for them to leave, it took a while for the two children's violent heartbeats to slowly calm down.

Wen Baiqing pulled Wen Jianning out, looked around carefully, and didn't dare to stay on the deck any longer, and soon slipped back to the corridor where he was waiting for the cabin.

As soon as he arrived at a safe place and saw the familiar lights, Wen Baiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning his head, Wen Baiqing lowered his face and reprimanded Jianning: "Didn't I warn you before not to run around? It's so late, how dare you a girl run to the deck alone." ”

Wen Jianning is young and still doesn't understand many things, but Wen Baiqing has heard about the rampant human trafficking on ships in recent years.

On freighter merchant ships that go to sea, women and children have always been the best targets. When a man is caught, he is put in a dark bilge, where he is huddled together like animals to eat, drink, and Lazar. If you are sick in the process, you can throw it into the sea to feed the fish just now. Some of those who were still alive were sold as domestic servants to wealthy families while passing through Hong Kong, and some were sold as prostitutes on the West Coast of the United States.

If it falls into their hands, the consequences can be imagined.

But it's one thing to hear about it, it's another thing to see it with your own eyes.

Recalling the scene just now, until now, Wen Baiqing still felt afraid.
