Chapter 389: See the Feng brothers and sisters again
In the dimly lit cabins, there were no walls, but between the columns, divided into separate areas by an iron fence, which looked almost identical to the cells, each of which was divided into long strips, just enough for an adult to lie down, and in these long strips, there sat a sluggish widow.
Li Su covered his mouth and nose with a hand towel dipped in vinegar, frowning and looking around the interior of this slave ship, although there are some windows around the cabin, which can let the cool sea breeze blow in, but there are too many people in the cabin, and the eating, drinking and Lazar of these slaves are all in the cabin, you can imagine how the smell in the cabin is, fortunately, the tiger shark has experience, and gave him a hand towel dipped in vinegar before coming in, but despite this, it still makes him feel a little unbearable.
Enduring the stench in the cabin, Li Su hurriedly turned around, and found that the cabin was full of male slaves from the Japanese country, although they were short, but they were all in the prime of life, and they were a good slave boat, listening to the tiger shark two, this was ordered by a big landlord in the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and wanted to use these Japanese people to cut grass and herd sheep, this kind of life is not much, and the requirements for slaves are not so high, so I chose these cheap Japanese slaves.
Li Su remembered that later history books once described the scene when black slaves were sold, and when those African black slaves were on the sea, in order to make use of the first inch of space, all the black slaves sat together in rows, with shackles on their bodies, and they couldn't even stretch their legs, let alone lie down. Compared with the black slaves in later generations, Li Yu is much happier when he sees slaves now, and they all have a piece of their own territory. It's not very big, but it's possible to lie down. This kind of treatment is much happier than that of the black slaves of later generations.
In fact, although the slave traders such as tiger sharks are ferocious, they are not as cruel to the slaves in their hands as the Western slave carriers of later generations. There will even be people cleaning in the cabin, and if you are sick, as long as it is not too serious, there will be a doctor who will prescribe a decoction, and even the food is not too bad, at least you will not die from eating something bad.
There are two main reasons for this, one is that the slave traders are all Han Chinese, although they have not necessarily read books. But at least they have been educated about the importance of human life, and they generally attach more importance to human life, and they do not want to hurt more lives if it is not necessary. Second, because the source of slaves is relatively small, and whether it is in the Tang Dynasty or Li Su, there is a huge demand for slaves, so the value of slaves is not low.
After a quick look at the slaves in the cabin. Li Su immediately rushed out, and then climbed on the side of the boat and breathed in the air, although the tiger sharks had long been accustomed to the smell of the cabin, they didn't want to stay in it for long. So then it also came out, as for Xi Junmai and a few other guards, they felt that it didn't matter. After all, they were all killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and this smell didn't make them lose their temper.
After the cabin of the smoke. Li Su no longer had any interest in the matter of slave transportation, and the smiling tiger was a personal essence. At the moment, he proposed: "Your Highness, the cook on the passenger ship where the villain lives is good, he cooks Chinese dishes, and there are good Western Regions wines hidden in the cabin, why don't we go there and have a drink or two glasses to dissipate the turbidity on our bodies?" ”
Li Su also nodded after hearing this, the passenger ship in the mouth of the smiling tiger is also a ship that specializes in pulling people, but it is different from these ships that transport slaves, the facilities on the passenger ship are complete, each guest has a separate cabin, and a ship goes back and forth between the two ports. The Smiling Tiger brothers thought that the smell on their ship was not good, so they spent money to live on a passenger ship, and usually took a small boat to and from several ships.
Li Su knew that there was a passenger ship in the fleet before, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and now it's just fine, so he just went to take a look. Thinking of this, Li Su nodded to the smiling tiger and said, "Okay, I haven't eaten Guanzhong-style dishes for a long time, and when you say it, it arouses the king's greed." ”
Seeing that Li Su agreed, the smiling tiger was naturally overjoyed, and immediately asked people to go back to prepare. Li Su and the others came to the passenger ship in a small boat, and first visited the residence of the tiger shark two, after all, he was also the first time to come to the passenger ship, and he was very curious about the layout inside. When I came out of the cabin, I saw a table of prepared wine and food on the deck of the bow of the ship, and a large umbrella was stretched out on it to shield it from the midday sun.
Seeing that the service on the ship was so thoughtful, Li Su was surprised but also very satisfied, beckoned the tiger shark two to sit down, and then picked up the chopsticks to taste the cook's craftsmanship, and found that although it was not as delicious as the chef in his house, it was also a very authentic Guanzhong flavor, which made him have a great appetite, plus the smiling tiger and the two toasted again and again, Li Su couldn't help but drink a few more glasses.
Although the degree of wine is low, but drinking too much will also be intoxicating, when Li Yu's face is slightly red, and his eyes are a little hazy, he suddenly saw a woman figure flashing on the deck on the right, looking very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere?
This made Li Su a little surprised, and stood up with the table at the moment, and then walked to the deck on the other side, and the guards around him naturally followed closely. As a result, Li Su happened to see the woman turn around and come back, still holding a medicine jar in her hand, although it was empty, but it still emitted a pungent smell of medicine, and it seemed that the other party had just gone to pour the medicine residue.
"Huh? How are you? Li Su asked with some surprise, the other party turned out to be the woman he saved in the slave trading field before, if he remembered correctly, the other party seemed to be named Feng Shuyu.
Feng Shuyu suddenly saw a young man blocking his way, his face couldn't help but swell with a little anger, and his voice said coldly: "Son, please respect yourself, the little woman is Han, if you don't get out of the way, I will call the guards on the ship!" ”
When Li Su rescued their brother and sister, he was dressed in makeup, but today Li Su showed his true face, so Feng Shuyu didn't recognize him for a while, just regarded him as a certain frivolous person on the passenger ship, after all, her appearance is unparalleled, since she got on the ship, some people have been trying to harass her, but they were stopped by the guards on the ship.
When Li Su heard Feng Shuyu's cold words, he was stunned at first, but he reacted immediately, and couldn't help joking at the moment: "What, Miss Feng just got out of a big difficulty, and now she doesn't even recognize me as a benefactor?" ”
Feng Shuyu also felt a little familiar when he heard Li Su's voice, and after hearing it, he couldn't help but look up at Li Suhua carefully, Li Shuhua's pretense was not clever at the beginning, and Feng Shuyu was deeply impressed by the person who saved him from the sea of suffering, so he quickly recognized Li Sulai, and was first happy at the moment, but then he was surprised, and immediately knelt down and said: "The people's daughter greets His Royal Highness the King of Qi!" ”
Li Su didn't plan to hide his identity, but when he smiled and asked the other party to get up, and when he saw the medicine jar Feng Shuyu was holding in his arms, he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "What, is Miss Feng sick?" ”
Unexpectedly, Feng Shuyu heard Li Su's casual question, but as if he had found someone who could tell his grievances, two lines of tears welled up in his big eyes like lake water, and he bit his plump lips and said: "Your Royal Highness, the little girl is not sick, but the elder brother is seriously ill, although he has already looked for the doctor on the ship, but he has not improved, and he can't even eat for the past two days!" ”
Li Su had helped the Feng brothers and sisters once before, so when Feng Shuyu saw Li Su again, it was naturally as if he had seen someone he could rely on, and the grievances he had received because he was worried about his brother in the past few days suddenly broke out, and he actually cried in front of Li Su.
Seeing the appearance of the other party's pear blossoms with rain, Li Su couldn't help but feel a little pity for the jade, but the other party was a girl, and it didn't have much to do with him, so he didn't know how to comfort him? In the end, he still had an idea and said: "Miss Feng, don't cry in a hurry, I have a skilled imperial doctor on my ship, I will send someone to call him now, give your brother a diagnosis and treatment, maybe he can be cured!" ”
Li Su's words really worked, Feng Shuyu immediately stopped crying, this is His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty, the medical skills of the imperial doctor around him are naturally not comparable to the doctors on the passenger ship, if it is diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor, it is very likely that his brother's illness will be cured.
Thinking of this, Feng Shuyu cried with joy, and thanked Li Su with tears. But at this time, she felt that it was a bit rude to let Li Su stand on the deck, and immediately invited Li Su into the cabin where she lived, and Li Su did not forget what she had just said, and said to the guards beside her, asking him to invite the imperial doctor on the ship.
Feng Shuyu's cabin is two rooms, inside and outside, of which Feng Shijie lives in the inner room due to illness, while Feng Shuyu lives in the outer room. The space in the cabin is small, as soon as Li Su enters the door, he sees a neat and neat bed quilt, and there are several stacked women's clothes next to the bed, and even the sharp-eyed Li Su found that the bottom one is still a woman's belly pocket.
Feng Shuyu didn't expect to meet acquaintances at all, plus in order to take care of his brother in the past few days, so he didn't have time to clean up, as soon as he saw the clothes on the bed, especially when he saw Li Su still staring, his face was also red at the moment, and he hurriedly walked over to clean up, and then asked Li Su to sit on the bed. This is also a helpless move, after all, there are no tables and chairs in the cabin except for the bed.
Li Yu knew that the Feng brothers and sisters lived in the most inferior cabins, such as the cabin where the tiger shark and the two lived were much more luxurious than here, not only were there tables and chairs, but there were even specially equipped servants, and the service was extremely thoughtful.
However, Li Su was embarrassed to sit on the bed of an unmarried girl, but offered to visit Feng Shijie, after all, the two can be regarded as having a relationship. It's just that when Feng Shuyu opened the door inside, Li Su was also startled when he saw Feng Shijie lying on the bed, if he hadn't known in advance, he wouldn't have believed it anyway, the dying man on the bed was actually the Feng Shijie who was desperate to save his sister before?
