Hua Gu smiled bitterly, "Then what else can I do?" Do you know that on this island, in addition to salt, the most lacking thing is medicine, and this is a human life at a critical time. Your family licks blood from the edge of the knife, and it stands to reason that this medicine should be carried with you! ”

Ji Mingyue was a little helpless, "Sister Hua, let's think about what to do next!" ”

Hua Gu snorted lightly, "What else can I do, I'll go back when he wakes up, I still have to live this day." ”

Ji Mingyue let out a long sigh, "So you've been like this all these years?" ”

"But no, what else can be done?" Hua Gu hung her head, her face gloomy.

"Sister Hua, haven't you ever thought about leaving him?" Ji Mingyue's tone was a little anxious, she couldn't think about what kind of life Hua Gu had lived all these years.

Hua Gu looked at Ji Mingyue and smiled bitterly, "I've thought about it, why haven't I thought about it, but where can I go without him?" How do I leave? ”

Hua Gu turned her head to look out the window, and in the distance was a blue sea, with waves rolling and white seagulls hovering over the sea.

"Sister, why do you say our women's lives are so bitter? If you are lucky, if you meet a good person, you will be able to live a life in peace, if you are unlucky, you can only endure it for life, and you can come out of the mother's womb, everything can not be chosen by yourself, we women, when can we be our own masters? ”

Ji Mingyue also fell silent, she wanted to persuade Hua Gu to leave, but it was unrealistic to think about it. In this era, it is difficult to break away from the original, let alone in this pirate den, in this place where laws and morals have lost their binding force, everyone only relies on brute force and ruthlessness. The best way here is to counter violence with violence.

Because she still had to go to the back kitchen of the dock, she could only ask Hua Gu to hide in her house first, and then find a way when she came back at night.

After the Hua Gu was settled, it was already a little late when Ji Mingyue went to the dock again, and Zhao Da didn't say anything about it, after all, he wished that Ji Mingyue would not come in the future. Mrs. Li asked Ji Mingyue why she was late.

Ji Mingyue thought that Hua Gu's matter was someone else's family affair after all, so it was not good to talk nonsense, so she had to say that she was late when she got up.

I don't want Mrs. Li to tease, "Last night, the three masters tossed you until midnight!" ”

The evil smile on Mrs. Li's face, how could Ji Mingyue not know that Mrs. Li had misunderstood, but for various reasons, it was difficult to explain, so she could only admit it with her head down, and her face was flushed.

Mrs. Li stared at Ji Mingyue, and her painting style suddenly changed, "Third lady, you and the newlywed wife of the three masters, Yan'er, I am from here, these three masters are young, I understand these old women who want to be diligent!" This is how all the new daughters-in-law come over. But ah, it's the first one to wake up so late like you! ”

"I ....." Ji Mingyue wanted to explain to herself, why did she get up late? It's just that the words are still swallowed when they come to their mouths, and if they misunderstand, they will be misunderstood, anyway, she doesn't mean to live by Mrs. Li.

"I've heard that the three masters go to work without eating breakfast every day, this is your fault, how can you be a daughter-in-law and let her husband work hungry!"

Ji Mingyue raised her eyebrows, she hadn't thought about this, after all, she didn't have the habit of eating breakfast, and Huo Ting went out early in the morning before she woke up, and she didn't mention this stubble to herself, so she automatically ignored this.

After all, they are not a real couple, and she doesn't need to be so dedicated! But this is not the case in the eyes of outsiders.

"Don't you know, the women on this island are now gathered together, and they say that you are not right, that you are lazy, that you are ..... Oops, in short, there are all kinds of ugly words! ”

"Is there such a thing?" Ji Mingyue's face was full of surprise, "I haven't offended them, why do you want to arrange me behind my back like this?" Ji Mingyue shouted that she was wronged, she didn't even know who these people were, why did these people talk nonsense about her?

Mrs. Li gave Ji Mingyue a strange look, "Red eyes!" These women are not tired of working at home, you are now married to the third master, and you are working in the back kitchen, how much red-eyed! ”

Ji Mingyue was a little helpless, she just wanted to stay on the island honestly and find a way to escape, but she didn't want to offend the people on the island, but she had already offended a lot of people by accident, wouldn't she be stared at and picked on by others in the future? She didn't want to make a fuss.

"Oh, Third Madame, don't worry, these long-tongued women can say whatever they want, as long as the three masters are happy, what they say will not work! There are three masters to support you, and you are afraid of what they will do! ”

Mrs. Li was just a wake-up call to Ji Mingyue, and she didn't want Ji Mingyue to frown, but Mrs. Li couldn't help but comfort Ji Mingyue. But it's okay that Mrs. Li is not relieved, and as soon as she is relieved, Ji Mingyue's brows furrow even more.

Ji Mingyue, what she is worried about is Huo Ting, they are not a real couple, she is just a disguise, how dare she expect Huo Ting to support her?

Huo Ting didn't embarrass her, she was already thankful! In the end, she still has to be self-reliant!

After thinking about this layer clearly, Ji Mingyue decided to walk around more with the women on the island in the future to have a good relationship, and maybe she could get some useful information to facilitate her escape in the future.

Besides, the pirates from the dockyard came early to the back kitchen and waited for the meal to be served. This Zhao Da probably felt that his status was threatened, and he was finally willing to take out the "treasured" spices or something and use them, and did his best to rectify several big dishes. Rao is like this, the pirates who came to eat were still disappointed that they couldn't eat Ji Mingyue's meal, but because of Huo Ting, they didn't dare to show it.

But at least the meal has finally improved a lot, it is worth celebrating, and it can be regarded as a welfare, this credit is clear to everyone, and some people even directly joked with Zhao Da, saying that Zhao Da is not afraid that the status of the chef will not be guaranteed.

Zhao Tiantian didn't dare to do anything in front of a group of pirates, and when everyone was full of food and drink, Zhao Da directly threw Ji Mingyue a bucket and a scoop.

"Go, water the vegetable field in the back mountain!"

"Sister, the back mountain is quite far from here, and this vegetable field is in the mountain col, so you have to carry the water yourself!" Haiwa couldn't look at it, but she didn't dare to confront Zhao Da, so she could only remind Ji Mingyue carefully.

Ji Mingyue knew that she had offended Zhao Da, and Zhao Da made it difficult for herself, Ji Mingyue was not surprised, what surprised her was that there was a vegetable plot in the back kitchen.

Touching Haiwa's head with a smile, Ji Mingyue said, "Then can you show my sister a way?" ”

Haiwa was dazzled by Ji Mingyue's smile, and agreed without hesitation, and took the initiative to help Ji Mingyue fetch water and carry the bucket with Ji Mingyue.

Ji Mingyue and Haiwa carried a bucket of water for more than half an hour, and finally reached their destination, which was a flat land between the two mountains. Except for the beaches near the sea, the rest of the island is mostly small hills and hills, and the slopes are not good for water and soil, and the island's perennial rain makes it even more difficult to cultivate. This place is one of the few good places on the island, and it was given to the dockyard kitchen by the big boss.

It's just that there are not many varieties of vegetables grown in this field, and they are sparse, and the leaves are still yellow.

"Sister, this land is flat, but this soil can't keep water, and the sun on the island is poisonous in this season, so if you want to raise good vegetables, you have to water it from time to time for three or five days. But Uncle Zhao is lazy, and only comes once in a while, or let Granny Li come, Granny Li's house is far away from here, and she doesn't like to come, so the vegetables grown in this vegetable field are like this now! ”

Haiwa and Ji Mingyue explained.

Ji Mingyue picked up a handful of soil and rubbed it in her hand, "The soil in this field is loose, poorly viscous, granular, and the soil fertility is not high, probably because of the precipitation on the island and the leaching effect." ”

Haiwa didn't understand much of what Ji Mingyue said, but Haiwa still understood, tilted her head and stared at Ji Mingyue and asked curiously, "Is this piece of land still saved?" ”

I don't know why, Haiwa intuitively felt that Ji Mingyue must have a way, because Ji Mingyue was the fairy sister who came down to earth in his heart.

"Yes, yes, but it's not a matter of a while, let's find a way to do it slowly in the future, let's pour the water first today!"

Ji Mingyue looked up at the sun, it was already going west, and there was still a flower girl at home, so she had to go back early.

Haiwa is very obedient, since Ji Mingyue said that she is not in a hurry, she is not in a hurry, Ji Mingyue watered, and Haiwa was very cooperative and followed Ji Mingyue to carry a bucket for Ji Mingyue. After Ji Mingyue fetched water back and forth a few times, she finally watered the vegetable patch, and the sun was already completely westward.

Ji Mingyue, who was tired and sweating profusely, hurried home, Huo Ting was already sitting in the middle of the hall, like a county magistrate waiting to bring the prisoner to the hall, and standing at the door was a helpless Hua Gu.

Seeing Ji Mingyue coming back, Hua Gu seemed to see a savior, and immediately ran like Ji Mingyue, pulling up Ji Mingyue's sleeve and hiding behind Ji Mingyue.

"Girl, you're back. The faces of these three masters are really not good, those eyes are staring at me, my back is cold, if you don't come back, I really can't stay! Hua Gu leaned in Ji Mingyue's ear and whispered.

"It's alright, have you eaten?" Ji Mingyue pulled Hua Gu with her backhand and comforted.

"I've eaten, I've eaten, I didn't want to use up the rice noodles you left for me in the stove room, and the rest of the pancakes were given to you and the three masters, and they can be eaten after a while, saving you from making dinner at night!"

Ji Mingyue went out in a hurry in the morning, and she didn't have time to say more, so she left some ingredients for Hua Gu and asked Hua Gu to cook and eat by herself and went out. I just don't want Hua Gu to help me solve dinner.

"Sister Hua, I have to bother you to go to the stove room to help me heat the cake, and I'll go and explain to the third master at this time." Ji Mingyue wants to support Aunt Hua, after all, Huo Ting is still in charge of this family, and she still has to get Huo Ting's consent to keep someone.

"Sister, I don't ask for anything else, just hide here for one night, I'll get together in this stove room for one night at night, you help me plead with the three masters!"

Hua Gu was really scared this time, she had been beaten in the past, but she hadn't been beaten so hard. And in the past, her husband went out during the day, came home drunk at night, and then beat her, and the next day he woke up.

But this time it was different, her husband didn't return overnight, and the next morning, just after dawn, he came home full of alcohol, grabbed her hair while she was still in the quilt, picked her up and beat her, and hit her harder than ever, all ruthless!

Hua Gu didn't know if her husband had woken up at this time, in short, she didn't dare to go back at this time! She just slept on the side of the road and didn't want to go back, if she did, she would be killed!

Ji Mingyue sent Hua Gu to the stove room, and turned around and entered the hall by herself.

Huo Ting still sat on the chair in the middle of the hall without moving, staring at Ji Mingyue step by step into the hall door.

Ji Mingyue can be regarded as understanding Hua Gu's feelings, being stared at by such a pair of clear and sharp eyes, it is indeed a chill on the back of her neck.

However, before Ji Mingyue could organize a language explanation, Huo Ting spoke first, "Didn't I tell you, I have to go home before dark, why is it so late today?" ”

It was completely dark, and the cool breeze was blowing, and there was a slight dampness. And Huo Ting's voice was deep, like a black cloud hanging on the sea level in the sky, a piece of black pressure.

Ji Mingyue was stunned, Huo Ting wanted to ask the master to ask for guilt, so he shrunk his neck and pretended to be pitiful, "I can't help it, isn't it that Chef Zhao arranged for me to water the vegetable patch on the mountain behind the dock, so it was delayed." ”

"You're alone?" Huo Ting's voice was much higher this time.

Ji Mingyue hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, no, the Haiwa in the back kitchen has help, otherwise I won't be able to come back at this time, and I may still be watering the vegetable patch!" ”

Huo Ting's eyebrows were slightly darkened, and after a pause, he said, his eyes signaled the direction of the stove room, "What's the matter?" ”

Huo Ting looked like he was waiting for Ji Mingyue to give an explanation, Ji Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, this person finally noticed the topic. So Ji Mingyue told Huo Ting the ins and outs of the matter, and then stared at Huo Ting with hopeful eyes, hoping that Huo Ting would allow her to leave Hua Gu behind.

Huo Ting didn't directly say yes or no, but raised his eyes to look at Ji Mingyue and said, "Have you ever thought that even if she hides with us for one night, what will happen after that?" She always has to go back, so what's the difference between hiding and not hiding? ”
