There was darkness in front of him, and his body was damp and hard, with a faint pain on his body as if he had been beaten, which made Lin Jin, who woke up, in a trance for a while, and didn't know where he was. She subconsciously moved and tried to sit up, only to find that her hands were tied behind her back, and her feet were tightly bound together by rough ropes.

"Lin family boy, you finally woke up. Good fellow, we both fell in the same boat, and after I was thrown here, I woke up shortly after, and you were in a coma for a day and a night. If you don't wake up, I'll think something has happened to you. A familiar voice sounded behind her.

Lying on the ground, his vision was very restricted, Lin Jin turned his brain, thinking about what happened here, it took a long time to react, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "King Fujun, is it you?" What's wrong with us? ”

King Fujun coughed lightly and explained embarrassedly: "That, that you were implicated by this king." Isn't this the imperial court getting the salt drying method, but the method is good, but it is not easy to promote, after all, this thing is really done, but it has cut off the financial route of many people, so His Majesty ordered me to come to Jiangnan to investigate, but I didn't expect to be targeted, who knew that you were so unlucky, you happened to meet me, and you were tied up here with me. ”

When listening to the Fujun King's explanation, Lin Jin, who was lying on the ground, rolled half a circle and sat up, and was surprised to find that the Fujun King was tied up with five flowers, tied to a pillar, and the rope was tight. All the clothes on his body were stripped of him, and he was wearing a coarse cloth clothes that didn't fit well. There are injuries on his body and face, and there are still undried blood stains on the corners of his mouth, which is embarrassing. Judging by the wound at the corner of his mouth and the filthy rag with blood stains at his feet, he should have been gagged, but he somehow got it out.

Compared with King Fujun, Lin Jin was treated preferentially, although he was tied hand and foot, he was not tied to the pillar, and he was not gagged; Although she was also dressed in an ill-fitting coarse cloth, the undergarment inside was her own.

After looking at King Fujun and himself, Lin Jin began to look at the surrounding environment: this is a relatively narrow space, less than a zhang long and wide, and no more than four feet high, not to mention that adults can't stand up straight, even Lin Jin can only bow his head and bend down or crawl. The four walls and the upper and lower walls are all wooden, there are no doors and windows, only a row of holes the size of a dragon's eye on the top of the head, which penetrates a faint light. Lin Jin moved over, and Sumire put her eyes together to take a look, because the wooden plank was thick, the holes were small, and the field of vision was very limited, so she could only see that there were still wooden planks outside the plank. The structure was almost entirely wooden, and with the floor and walls shaking, it was easy to tell that they were in the bilge of a ship.

Lin Jin was a little dazed after seeing her situation clearly, she just went to the Zhuangyuan Building to buy the mille-feuille oil cake and jade roasted wheat that he liked to eat for Lin Ge'er, and then met the King of Fujun who was eating in the Zhuangyuan Building, and was called over by him and said a few words, how did she fall into this situation?

"Okay, don't think about it so much, hurry up and find a way to untie the rope, it's important to escape." King Fujun beckoned Lin Jin: "You come over and help me bite the rope open, let's quickly find a way to escape, otherwise, I don't know where it will be sold, if it is sold to those dirty places, some of you will suffer." ”

Bite open? Lin Jin glanced at the thick and dirty hemp rope on King Fujun's body, didn't think he had such good teeth, shook his head and said, "Even if we untie the rope, we can't escape." We're on a ship now, even if we can get out, you have made a big show and restrained all the people on this boat, and I can't drive such a big ship, so I still have to be held in their hands. Who knows what kind of order the people on the boat received, if they see that we are showing signs of escape, we simply come and die together, let the boat crash into the reef or the shore, and the boat will be destroyed? ”

"So what do we do?" As a landlubber, King Fujun seemed to see the scene of the people on the boat jumping into the water to escape for their lives after the boat was destroyed, and subconsciously shuddered, and hurriedly asked: "I can't swim, Lin family boy, can you swim?" ”

"I will, but if I don't know what's going on in the water, it's good that I can take care of myself, so if something happens, you better not count on me." Although he couldn't escape, he still had to find a way to untie the rope on his body, Lin Jin thought about it, sat backwards, rolled his head easily, and when he sat up again, the hand that was tied behind his back somehow went to the front, and then he couldn't care about exposing it, and got the utility knife in the library out.

When King Fujun saw Lin Jin's movements, he couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, they all say that children have soft muscles and bones, but I didn't expect you to be so big, and these muscles and bones are still so soft." Isn't your Lin family a scholarly family, how do you look at your style, as if you are a practicing family? ”

Lin Jin was a little glad that her attention to King Fujun was off, just so that she didn't have to explain the origin of the utility knife. After untying the rope on his body, Lin Jin stretched his waist, feeling that all these years of yoga had not been practiced in vain, so he crawled over to untie King Fujun.

King Fujun moved his wrist and said, "It's been tied for too long, and the blood is not connected, and this hand is sore." Although he was much older than Lin Jin, Lin Jin's calm performance after waking up made him involuntarily regard her as the backbone, "Boy, what should we do next?" ”

And so on. After the case, we will find a way to see if we can escape. Lin Jin touched her shriveled stomach and asked, "I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?" ”

Hearing this, King Fujun pointed to the side of the cabin and said, "Well, that's our food, but you can eat those things like pig food?" ”

Following the fingers of King Fujun, Lin Jin looked over, and saw that not far away, there was a clay pot, two bowls on the side of the crockpot, and two strange-colored steamed buns were placed in one of the bowls, one of which was bitten.

Lin Jin climbed over and picked up the intact steamed bun, a pungent musty smell came to the face, making people have no appetite after smelling it. She took a tentative bite, and the sawdust-like texture was hard to swallow. Although this is the most unpalatable thing she has eaten in her two lives, Lin Jin knows that in the current situation, there is no room for her to be picky, in order to survive, she must eat, so she endured it, even if her throat was scratched, poured a bowl of water from the crockpot, pinched her nose, and ate the steamed bun one bite after another.

King Fujun looked at Lin Jin with nausea on the one hand, and ate steamed buns on the other, and couldn't help but say, "Can you tell me what you did?" Do you have to force you to eat, why are you pushing yourself so much? ”

Lin Jin took a big sip of water, sent the contents of his mouth down, and explained: "I also know that it is unpalatable, but whether this thing is delicious or not, at least it will survive." Otherwise, is it possible to be hungry all the time? Even if we are hungry, the things they send back are still this thing, and judging from our treatment, it is impossible to send us a big meal because we don't eat, so even if we don't eat now, we will have to eat in the future. In this case, sooner or later you will have to suffer this sin, so why delay it. ”
