A boat is light, and the sculls are terrifying.

On the Dapan River, Ge Shaoyi's abrupt escape caused the entire building ship to fall into a great panic.

Earlier, the second crocodile dragon said that he would eat everyone on the boat, but he didn't lower his voice at all.

Although they already knew that this Ge Shaoyi was not a thing, the other party was a human after all, and he would not attack the people on the ship for no reason.

Now, as soon as the pillars of such a boat are gone, the previous negotiations with the seven brothers of the dragon and crocodile will be nullified, and on the building boat, except for the hero in the sky who saves the beauty, no one can compete with the seven big demons and the hundreds of water demons on the river around the building boat.

But that young man is not the captain of the ship, and he just met in the water, so why should he compete with the big demon of the entire Crocodile Dragon Bay for a few irrelevant lives?

Lin Huo'er, who retreated to the top of the wooden building, was only halfway through, and the battle between Jiang Ning and Captain Ge had already started, the violent shocks, the surging air pressure from above, and the energy fluctuations that overwhelmed her, all continued to remind her that it was no longer safe on the wooden building.

The location of that energy burst was extremely close to Tianzi C, and with her current ability, under the interference of the scattered alien true elements, she couldn't clearly tell whether Qing Cong upstairs was alive or dead.

Lin Huo'er, who had walked halfway on the wooden ladder, immediately turned around and walked down quickly.

Regardless of whether Na Qing Cong lives or dies, she is a small Yuan Dan, and it is extremely dangerous to go up now.

Instead of risking your life to go upstairs to seek refuge from a young servant who doesn't know whether to live or die, it is better to find a safe place to hide first.

The demon aura on the Dapanjiang River is pervasive, whether it is going into the water or in the sky, the probability of death is not smaller than staying on the boat, this is the territory of the water demon, but Lin Huo'er will not be naïve to think that those water demons have no way to fly in the sky.

Once it flies out, it's a live target, and you can't even find a bunker to hide.

"Go to the bilge!"

After going downstairs, Lin Huo'er made such a decision almost immediately.

In addition to the open-air building, there are two bilges above the ship.

The first floor was inhabited by people, mostly ordinary people who could not afford a serious ticket, and who had to go up the river for one reason or another, and who paid one-fifth of the price of an ordinary ticket, and rented a narrow bed in this cold, damp, and dark bilge, and a room less than a foot square usually had seven or eight beds, and seven or eight or more people were crowded together, and the sundries were so full that the stench was so foul that they could not even find a place to stay.

The horrific scene on the deck, the people in the bilge didn't know anything about it.

Because when you get on the boat, you have already made a rule with the people on the boat, and when you don't get off the boat, unless the people inside die, no matter what the reason, you must stay honestly underneath.

The people who lived in the bilge were poor, and when they got on the boat, they already brought heavy dry food with them, so they could save some food, move less, sleep more, and a month or two would pass in a blink of an eye

If you go, if you don't have enough dry food, you can also spend money to buy it with the people on the boat.

Here, Captain Ge also sent special personnel to manage.

It's just that everything else is easy to say, and there is only one way, that is, before getting off the boat, you are absolutely not allowed to go upstairs.

To say that the rule that people in the bilge are not allowed to go upstairs is not the first of its kind by Ge Shaoyi, almost all large building ships in the entire continent have similar regulations.

The reason is also very simple.

Compared with the ordinary area upstairs and the high-rise VIP guests, the number of guests in the basement is more than ten times that of the other two types of guests combined, and they offer the lowest fare, with ten times the number of people, but the benefits to the building ship are less than a fraction of the price of a few or a dozen people on the upper floor.

Take Jiang Ning as an example, there is no need to mention the ticket that is 100 times that of the bottom cabin, and the daily cost of living in the luxury suite alone is converted into silver taels, which is enough for the ticket of nearly 1,000 people in the bottom cabin.

And those distinguished guests naturally do not carry a large amount of food with them like the poor people in the bilge, and their daily meal expenses on the ship, as well as the flowing water in the Gui gambling house, the grocery store, and the Mingyue Fang, after a day or two after getting on the ship, the profits brought to the building ship have exceeded the profits of all the tickets of those people in the bottom cabin combined.

Not to mention those who have never been to a private school in the bilge, and they don't know what to do, they are in the bilge on weekdays, and if they are allowed to go on deck, the good building ship will be in a mess, and the children will and pee everywhere, which will definitely make a mess on the ship.

When the time comes, thousands of idle people on the deck will run out every day to let off steam, occupying all corners of the ship, and those guests who spend a lot of money to stay in ordinary single or double cabins, as well as the VIPs in the high-rise luxury suites, will definitely be dissatisfied, and when the time comes, even if they don't say anything, next time, they will definitely not spend money on your ship.

In the final analysis, the civilians who pull this cabin on the Guangfulou boat are just holding the idea of making some extra money by the way, those of you who can't afford to pay the full price of the ticket, if you want to upload, then you have to abide by my rules, if you don't want to sit, you can not come, it is a dispensable thing.

But if you get on the boat and don't follow my rules, then don't blame me for throwing you into the river to feed the fish.

Buddhists always say that all living beings are equal, but in this vast world, there is no equality at all.

In the final analysis, people have endured so much hardship all their lives, and all they want is to become a master.

You can be superior, you can be arrogant, and you can even be a well-dressed beast in the open.

If everyone is equal, what is the use of these efforts?

However, the people at the bottom can't go up, and the people at the top want to come down and take a look, it's still no problem.

Moreover, compared to going up to the top, it doesn't cost money to come down.

Ge Shaoyi had already run away at the moment, but the two strong men guarding the staircase from the bottom floor to the upper floor were still standing there dutifully.

Their cultivation is limited, that is, the strength of the Void Realm, but Lin Huo'er can see these two families

The guy is not an ordinary master of life and void, obviously he still has some external kung fu of refining the body, which is more than enough to deal with those who can't even eat enough in the bottom cabin.

It's just that although the movement outside is big, their perception is limited, the rules dictate, when there is no order from above, they don't dare to come out at will, and when they see Lin Huo'er coming down, they also hurriedly and respectfully give way to a way.

There weren't many residents upstairs, and it wasn't difficult to remember everyone's breath or appearance, so they weren't embarrassed after seeing Lin Huo'er.

It's just that the urge to ask what the situation is outside is still forcibly endured by the two.

The rules of the ship, when on duty, except for the guests who take the initiative to talk, the guards are not allowed to gossip.

Walking down the wooden ladder, the luminosity of the space drops sharply, while the humidity is slowly rising, and after the corner, there is a cloud of moisture and odor.

Even if she has been a hen in the chicken coop for a long time, when she smells these complex and incomprehensible smells, Lin Huo'er still can't help frowning.

In a trance, she had an illusion, as if she had returned to that dark place again, and had become a hen that any man of any status in the Qianjiang Gang could play with.

Subconsciously, Lin Huo'er stopped, and had the urge to turn around and rush up again.

But her body paused for a moment, and then she quickly took a step, continuing down the stairs, expressionlessly towards the deeper part of the hull.

Descending to the staircase at the corner of the bilge on the first floor, rows of people sat against the wall in the dim light of the corridor.

Their expressions are dark, their eyes are dull, their skin is sallow, and they are skinny, and some of them are already with more air in and less air out, or they will die in a hurry.

Lin Huo'er knew that these were the lowest class of people on the ship.

The same is to live in the bilge, they can't even afford the most basic bed, only pay the cheap money to get on the ship, after getting on the ship, they can only live in the uninhabited corridor and corner of the bilge of the ship, there is no wind and rain here, but it is damp and cold, and there is no warm quilt to sleep at night, everyone is you next to me, and I am next to you to warm up with body temperature.

But there are a lot of people here and they don't see the light of day, the air is foul and foul, and the food is cold and hard dry food, and over time, those who are weak will have lesions to breed, and although there are doctors on board, they have no money for treatment, and if they can't get off the ship, they can only wait until they die and be dragged away by the people on the ship, and lose this road in the Otan River.

Lin Huo'er didn't sympathize, and he didn't even slow down his steps a bit.

She was no different from these people, and even strictly speaking, her fate was even more tragic, after all, the women in the chicken coop did not have the slightest freedom, these people, at least the dry food in their hands, the clothes on their bodies were their own, in this narrow and dark corridor, they could go wherever they wanted.

The most important thing is that at this moment, they belong to themselves

Oneself.

Lin Huo'er knew that there was no other way for a person like this to do everything but to save himself by all means.

A savior may appear, but the next time, the next time you're in the same predicament, can you expect them to be there every time?

The answer is clearly no.

At this moment, a pair of dry and weak little hands grabbed the corners of her clothes.

Stopping and turning around, Lin Huo'er saw a pair of bright eyes.

It was a pair of eyes full of hope.

"Sister, can you take me?" The voice was as weak as a mosquito, but the sallow face of the girl who spoke tried to squeeze out a smile.

Lin Huo'er was stunned, this girl was thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was the same age as when she was arrested.
