Chapter 6: The Man-Eating Ship
"Li Guiwang! Look at the good things you've done! ”
Chen Slender carried Xiao Zhao, who was out of breath, and kicked open the door of Li Fatzi's room. At this moment, Li Fatzi was still raking a not sumptuous dinner, but he was taken aback by Chen Thinzi's posture, and hurriedly came up, took Xiao Zhao and put her on the couch, only to see that she was motionless, and reached out to probe her snort:
"Yo, out of gas?!" Fat Li bit the food in his mouth and said vaguely.
Chen Slender has long been dissatisfied with him, he is lazy and temperamental, this batch of goods is afraid that it will be destroyed in his hands soon, if he didn't have some ways in Shengjing, he would have ...... long ago
As soon as Chen Shouzi thought of Master Li in the capital, his attitude towards Li Fatzi eased a little: "I'm out of breath when I probe, the girl inside said that she fainted, look at what to do now!" ”
Seeing that this little girl is four or five years old, it is indeed difficult to sell it into the compound or Qinglou as a maid, but if you meet someone who wants to buy a child daughter-in-law, you can still sell it for a good price.
Li Fatzi looked indifferent, raised his hand and slapped Xiao Zhao's thin cheek twice, seeing that she didn't react at all, he couldn't help but shake his head, his face returned to his normal position, and continued to eat.
Seeing that he must be a shopkeeper like this, Chen Shouzi said a little angrily: "I plan to sell this girl for a hundred taels, how can you compensate me?" ”
When the fat man Li who was biting a green vegetable heard this, his mouth that raked the rice stopped, and his two eyes with yellow spots glared: "One hundred taels? Who are you bluffing? "This kind of little girl can be taken back for five or six taels, if it wasn't sold with her sister, he wouldn't want to accept it at all, the dead thin man thought that after soaking in the water of the Six Canals, the people in the capital thought it was a treasure?
Chen Shouzi didn't want to talk to him in detail, but he still felt sorry for a hundred taels of silver, so he explained to him clearly: "Didn't you listen to Master Li? Recently, the capital has changed greatly, and I don't know when I will be able to do it next time, so I will definitely start the price! ”
As soon as the fat-headed and big-eared Li Fat Man heard the word "starting price", he became energetic, and his brain, which usually doesn't like to move, also made an idea:
This ship was originally Mr. Li's, so every time the goods were transported, it was so smooth sailing, Chen Tu was stained with his own light, and he didn't discuss this kind of thing about raising prices, he must have wanted to swallow the money for the price increase, phew! I still believe in him so much, I gave the money to this thin wolf, and when I saw him in Shengjing, I didn't sue him in front of Lord Li!
"Did you tell Master Li about the price? Don't forget that we score his share! Fat Li squinted at Chen Slender and asked.
Chen Slender saw that Li Fat was not stupid, and when he thought of this, he also got straight to the point: "I not only told the adults, but also told him that there are a total of forty-five people in our batch of goods, and now that one of them is dead, how should I explain!" ”
Li Fatzi saw that Chen Tu was full of confidence, so he was also a little cowardly, although he was a distant relative of Lord Li, but he didn't know where far away, Lord Li, a dimeless iron rooster, knew that he had killed his goods, and he had to be scolded?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly smiled and persuaded: "Say it earlier!" If I can share more money, I won't be more motivated! Then he pointed to Xiao Zhao, who was still lying on the couch, and said, "You are smooth, this child's money has been deducted from my pen, okay!" ”
Li Fatzi was tinkering in his heart, the little girl who sells twenty or thirty taels on weekdays can now rise to one hundred taels, and those who are handsome can be called hundreds and thousands of taels! This deal is definitely not a loss!
Finally hearing the answer he wanted, Chen Shouzi was also angry, and pretended to say: "You have to testify about this in black and white, I'm going to write it now, hurry up and deal with this girl, tie up some heavy objects and throw them in the river." ”
Looking at the back of Chen Slender Man leaving, Li Fatzi's sneering face immediately drooped, and he spat a little spittle, and muttered in his mouth: "You still have to write notes, and there are many things to do when you die thin!" But ......"
He turned his head to look at the little girl on the couch, then looked at the simple vegetarian dishes on the table, touched the fat belly with his fat hand, and thought: It's been a month on this boat, and I haven't touched any meat, so I'm really panicking! This girl was killed again, there should be nothing sick, no one knows if a pot of hot water has been boiled......
——
Curling green smoke burns into the sky, who has ever seen a ghost?
Yan Du nestled in the dark, damp, bloody cubicle, and couldn't help but think of the scene of the underworld in the poem, is it just like what she is looking at?
She raised her lifeless eyes and looked at Xiao Feng, who was also weak next to her, the same dim night outside the window resurfaced again, and the word "positive" on the wooden board had two more strokes, two more days have passed, I don't know what happened to Xiao Zhao who was taken out by Chen Thinzi!
"Xiaobao." Xiao Feng, who had undergone a big change, raised his head faintly, with a trace of worry in his eyes, and asked, "Did you say that my sister was cured?" ”
As soon as she heard Xiao Feng's words, Yan Du only felt that her brain was as painful as being pierced by thousands of nails, and the traffickers who regarded human life as mustard would really save Xiao Zhao? If Xiao Zhao had really been saved, he would have brought her back a long time ago, and the most feared thing would be that they would sink to the bottom of the river, and there would be no bones left.
"I don't know." She lowered her head, not daring to look at Xiao Feng's eyes: "Maybe she's ......"
With a bang, the wooden door was opened, it should be Li Fatzi who came to deliver the meal, Xiaofeng saw the comer, where did he have time to pay attention to Yan Duan's words, and rushed up to Li Fatzi's side.
Yan Du looked at Xiao Feng's anxious back, and sighed silently in his heart, but saw that Li Fatzi didn't give some steamed buns as usual this time, it turned out to be a big pot of broth!
The surrounding children smelled the umami of the broth, and they all stretched their necks to star, swallowing their saliva unconsciously. Xu is already full of food and drink, Li Fatzi's hateful face showed a trace of pleasure, only to see him spit out a rough smile and say to everyone:
"I'm happy today, I'll open meat for you!"
Xiao Feng, who was in a hurry on the side, couldn't care about drinking soup, so he could only kneel in front of Fat Li, hugged his thighs and asked, "Uncle!" Uncle! How is my sister? ”
"Your sister......" Li Fat looked at the girl at her feet, she looked quite peugeot, if she knew that her sister had been eaten by the people on the boat, she might make a fuss, so she casually prevaricated: "She's still healing, don't be anxious!" ”
As soon as Xiao Feng heard that Xiao Zhao was not dead, he gratefully began to kowtow to Li Fatzi again: "Thank you, uncle!" Thank you, uncle! ”
Seeing this, Fat Li just waved his hand and said, "Okay!" Come on! Eat quickly, too! ”
After speaking, she stared at the can of broth with some playfulness, remembering that she had quietly slipped away to the kitchen in the middle of the night before and slaughtered the girl, but she didn't expect that when she wiped her neck and bled out, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, and she was so frightened that the kitchen knife in her hand fell off.
But, this blood is flowing, people seem to be really angry, he is a demon reincarnated, can't resist this mouth, but he is afraid that the little girl will turn into a ghost to find herself, so she simply disposed of a big pot of broth and distributed it to the whole ship to eat, everyone has a share, and this unjust soul can't find his home.
The people on this boat are also stupid, and when the good people asked, he said that he had brought a little suckling pig on board the ship, but no one looked into it, and he must have been hungry, so everyone ate it deliciously. No, he didn't forget to share the rest of the broth with his friends who came all the way with the girl, which can be regarded as a good deed......
Yan Du looked at the smugness in Li Fatzi's eyes, and a chill instantly filled her heart, at this moment she also wanted to believe that Xiao Zhao was sent for treatment, but she had to plan for the worst, originally she only thought of Xiao Zhao being sunk, but she didn't expect that there would be more disgusting results!
Xiao Feng, who recovered his spirits, hurriedly joined the team of Sheng Tang, but when he saw Xiao Bao, who had been supported all the way by him, he was looking at his side in horror, so he walked over and called out with some doubts: "Xiao Bao, why don't you go to Sheng Tang?" ”
Hearing this, Yan Du grabbed Xiao Feng's sleeve a little nervously, and said a little nervously, "Don't drink!" "That may have been made of Xiao Zhao's flesh and blood!
"What's wrong?" Xiao Feng stared at Yan Duan's bloodshot and frightened eyes with some uneasiness: "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
I don't know how to speak, maybe it's just my own guess, Yan Du took a deep breath, lowered his head and didn't look at Xiao Feng's eyes, and nodded: "I don't have an appetite today." "Sister, is the only lifeline that hangs Xiao Feng's spiritual will, if she speaks, the lifeline will be broken, and Xiao Feng will not be able to hold on.
Xiao Feng looked at Yan Duan's drooping head, maybe he was really uncomfortable, so he comforted gently: "If you don't have an appetite, I'll put a bowl here for you first, and then drink it when you have an appetite, if you don't eat, you won't be able to stay up." ”
If you can't stand it, forget it! Twilight clasped her hands around her knees, tears unconsciously pouring out. In this situation, she suddenly felt that perhaps death was the best relief!
These thirty days without seeing the light of day, the days when claustrophobic and dumb like imprisonment without seeing the end, the ship full of sin has destroyed all her spirit, outside the window are the waves day after day, the flickering yellow lamp does not give her any hope, and even the breath in the closed and crowded space is mixed with the smell of blood. How many times did she want to grab the ground with her head, and she just wanted to use pain to awaken her consciousness that she was still alive in this world.
How many days and nights of oppressive darkness made her cry, crying silently to the point of uncontrollable control, twisting her arms in agony, curling up in pain, tossing and turning on the cold wooden floor. Xiao Zhao's blood seemed to be covered all over the board, she really wanted to rush out and jump into this evil river, she was going crazy!
Suddenly, a pair of rough hands touched her face that was already in tears, and she looked at Xiao Feng with worried eyes on the other side in a daze: "If you feel uncomfortable, just lie down for a while!" I'll fan you. ”
Why? Why are the good people in the world not allowed to die well, their father and mother who love themselves, their grandfather who works hard for the country, and even the babbling Xiao Zhao!
Yan Du trembled and raised his hand, covering Xiao Feng's slightly cold hand, and squeezed out a sentence with all his might: "Good ......"
On this cannibalistic boat, on the river of Yellow Springs, a girl in despair was saved by another girl who was also riddled with holes, how many days and nights, when Yan Du recalled this darkest day, she would regret it, why was she so weak at that time, even the only person on this boat who gave her kindness, could not protect it......
