Chapter 469: Sure enough, I still didn't run away
The cabin behind the deck is where the workers need to work.
Ordinary sailing ships are not warships, and if the wind does not move, they can only rely on manpower to turn the turbines to move slowly, so there will be a dozen to two dozen workers on each ship in shifts...... Similarly, there will be other workers on the ship who are going to floor.
Sometimes, in order to save food, children are even used as child labor, but there is no rule in this world that child labor cannot be used.
Hiring children to clean the cabin is easier to manage......
Sean excused himself for a while and came to the cabin under the pretext that he was feeling a little unwell.
In fact, I also lived in it, but as an individual, I lived in the upper area, which was large and relatively spacious, and ordinary workers could only live in the lower area at that time, which was almost a big room and everyone ate and lived together.
Sean stepped down and followed the child laborers who had just walked by......
They were all separated, and only then did they pick the target and approach.
The other party is scrubbing the place, but the movements are not very sharp, and kneeling on the ground and wiping it is only a step away from an adult.
From behind, you can see that the hair is very short and white, almost the hairstyle of a boy, and he is dressed in linen clothes like the other boatmen.
"Tsk~ You're a worker here, right?" The sudden voice startled the little guy.
I was even more startled when I turned around and saw Sean......
The state of "worried!] and "scared!" on his head, but his thoughts changed to the attitude of "stay calm!".
The other party is just a five or six-year-old child, and it is quite powerful to be able to do this, at least in Sean's opinion, the stage where aristocratic children of this age are still out and play whatever they want, and the little girl in front of him cannot be compared.
Because the person in front of him is none other than the little girl who ran away from her room yesterday, although she changed her dress and washed it up, how could Sean not look at the face but look at the attribute memory.
"What's the matter with the guests?"
Hold your throat.
The voices of children at this age are not distinctive, they are all very clear children's voices, but if you hold your nose and don't breathe, your voice will be a little lower, and it will sound more like the voice of a little boy.
"I lost more than 1,000 gold coins yesterday, and I don't know who to find for me......" Sean said with a smile.
This little girl is very interesting, although she is nervous and scared, but she has suppressed it as much as possible, and even her legs seem to be shaking, but she didn't stand up, and it was as if she was squatting and numb.
"Guest...... It seems that the guest only got on the boat today, so he should have looked for it in the town in advance, and there may be no way to go back now. I thought about it for a long time before I finally said such a thing.
Sean just laughed.
"That's a shame!"
Without much talk, he turned around and chose to leave.
This made the other party breathe a sigh of relief!
I didn't expect this little girl to be on the boat, and sure enough, time was still on her side.
Sean was worried that the money would be wasted this time, so he found it...... She should look like the workers on the boat, so what happened to the beating yesterday? And she has a strong fishy smell on her body, is it really that she went to steal something and was found and beaten, and happened to be rescued by herself and turned around and ran back to her job?
If you want to explain it like this, Sean can still accept it!
When he walked to the upper floor, he saw a sailor on the boat, and Sean asked the other party directly why he saw child laborers on the boat, but the other party did answer with a disdainful face.
"Isn't that normal, guest? You should also have young servants in your house, because the young ones don't eat much and don't cost much, as long as they are willing to work, they can take it. ”
"But that's too small. ”
"They are all orphans, and they should be happy that they should work on our ships and have food to eat instead of being sold everywhere, and that there are more places for the merchants to go. The sailor said.
Sean also understands that the system of this world is originally like this, but it is just a matter of pulling out the origin of the little girl from the other party's mouth.
So she's a child laborer on a ship!
That's interesting.
..................
Sailing in the direction of the South China Sea, the cargo ship has been following the Camel Gang's fleet.
According to their explanation, it is safer to follow the big caravan, I heard that there are more pirates recently, and the people on the large caravan are more capable than easy to provoke pirates, and at the same time, they can also change their direction to protect other merchant ships.
Pirates have the habits of pirates, and merchants have the wisdom of merchants.
night
Sean was invited by Lucas to have dinner in the parlor, and he introduced several businessmen he knew well.
Most traveling merchants are a family unit, and if one person is alone, they will only bring a few cronies...... However, there are many businessmen they know from the outside world.
Because he is not a businessman, he is more gregarious when talking to these people.
A total of three men and one woman......
are all talking to themselves about some topics that go from south to north, and there are many people who are constantly testing their identity.
"Brother Sean must not have gone out very much at home. ”
"It's true that I rarely go out, mainly because I don't have anywhere to go!"
Sean doesn't know much about the common sense of travelers, and he will be known if he says a few words, so he didn't plan to disguise himself as a traveler, just a noble young master who ran away from home, and this identity is more acceptable to everyone.
"Haha, then you can follow us around the port this time, the scenery over there is quite good. ”
Sitting next to Sean was a woman, who was also a traveling merchant at the time of the introduction, but what she bought was not spices, but cloth and sesame oil from Edak, the kind of thing that was the same as essential oil, and only needed a little bit of flavor and fragrance.
Desert people will walk on the desert all year round, and they may not always have water to bathe, so they will use this essential oil to drip on their bodies and cover up the smell of sweat with a strong fragrance.
That thing Sean turned over in the palace grounds...... However, Jagon is in good condition and there is no shortage of water, so it is rarely used.
"Yes, you can go and see it. Sean replied with a smile.
The woman's name was Edith, and she was generally short-haired, but she was in good shape, and all the women who were able to do business alone were capable of writing, and they belonged to the people Lucas knew in Twilight.
In fact, several businessmen don't have a long relationship...... But when you sit together, it feels like you haven't seen each other in a long time.
"I don't know what Big Brother Sean plans to do this time?
Edith kept calling herself big brother and was the one who inquired about her the most throughout the dinner.
"Hmm...... That's how it was planned for the time being. ”
Sean replied.
At night, the cabins began to be lit up......
This trip was almost all accompanied by merchants, mainly because the camel gang had sailed out of the fleet, and the other merchants were sure to follow.
"Then I can take Big Brother Sean around, Keselk is a very interesting country, and the national alchemist products there are popular commodities all over the world. Edith said.
