Sixty-eight, Minna's Fall

The moment the plank was lifted, before the other could make any noise, Minna shot an ice arrow that stabbed one of them in the face, and Corbin threw himself out and scuffled with the other. Minna found an opportunity to fire an ice arrow at the man, and with another kick to the first man's vital point, Corbyn took the opportunity to snatch the weapon from one of the "pirates" and take them down.

He broke his wound in the struggle, and blood came out, and Minna hurriedly gave him all the remaining hemostatic drugs. He threw away the empty bottle and pulled Minna up: "Let's find another place to hide, it will be bad if we are found again." ”

Minna was puzzled: "Why don't we catch all the bad guys on the ship?" Now there are only a few people in the house, and we can deal with it. We can sneak away in a boat, don't you know how to sail? ”

"Don't be stupid, their ship is so fast, the ten crew members didn't escape just now, how can the two of us do it?" Corbyn tore a strip of cloth from one of the pirates' clothes, which looked clean, and tied it to the wound on his shoulder.

"But if we don't escape, we won't be able to escape when we enter the pirate's den."

"Pirate's den? Do you think they really are pirates? Where are the pirates having a master? I won't worry about the inland river, let alone say that the young master and miss will like it. ”

Minna was stunned: "You mean they're fake pirates?!" She knew that those people were not Black Skulls, but she didn't expect that they weren't even pirates, so why did they get on the ship to rob and kill people?

Corbin didn't answer, he pulled Minna out of the storage room, carefully observed that there was no one in the activity room outside, and touched it lightly. Minna wanted to know the answer, but she wouldn't trouble him at this time, but she felt that Corbyn's personality seemed to be a little different from before.

There were people chatting outside the cabin, and it seemed that they had noticed the small commotion in the storage room just now, and someone was already walking this way. Minna quickly followed Corbin out of the window, ready to dive to the cargo hold where she had been hiding on her last trip to the Holy Mountain. The "pirates" have already searched the place once, and it should be safe for the time being.

As soon as they turned the corner, they were unlucky to encounter a "pirate" who was carrying the blood on the deck of the sea, and screamed at the sight of them. Minna hurriedly sent an ice arrow to hit the other party, and Corbin quickly made up for it.

Minna felt a little weak, knowing that it was because the magic power was too much to last, and she didn't know how long she could last, and seeing that someone was rushing towards her, she immediately drew a dagger from the "pirate's" waist to fight them.

Although she thought so, Corbyn obviously did not think that a little girl under the age of ten could deal with the most vicious bandits, and he forced Minna to flee backwards, and as soon as the little girl struggled, he simply carried her and ran. Minna yelled "let me down" while waving her dagger to scare off the people who attacked along the way. As soon as he fled to the stern of the ship, he was surrounded by the "pirates" who heard the noise.

Seeing the bad guys getting closer and closer, Minna noticed that Corbyn was shivering, and the wounds on his body had cracked open again in the fight just now. She gritted her teeth and was about to ask him to put down himself to fight the enemy together, but she heard him suddenly say: "I won't say anything, please let me go, I still have my mother and sister to take care of, I don't want to die!" Minna was stunned and looked at him blankly.

The "pirates" were snickering, and some were parodying Corbyn's "I don't want to die" in a strange tone, causing everyone to laugh, but soon someone found out that one of his companions had died, and was furious and wanted to chop Corbin into meat sauce at onceβ€”they decided he was the murderer, and as for Minna, no one thought she had the ability.

There was an order from the big ship to leave no one alive, Corbin shouted, raised his big knife and threw it at the "pirates", which immediately angered them, and also slashed at the knife, Minna threw out the dagger in her hand, knocked out the attacking weapon, but felt her whole body hanging in the air, and fell to the sea in a blink of an eye.

As soon as she fell into the water, she realized that Corbin had thrown her down, and he jumped into the water. Minna tried to swim to him, but two long oars came down from the boat, separating them abruptly. In the confusion, Minna's wand fell out of her hand, and in order to avoid the oar that was thrown at her head, she dived underwater, and the oar narrowly grazed the top of her head, startling her heart to beat.

Holding her breath for a while, Minna couldn't help but emerge from the water, but she didn't find any trace of Corbyn. The people in the boat immediately spotted her, and they all shouted for the oars to smash her, she took a deep breath and plunged into the water again, and when she resurfaced, she found that the boat had sailed almost a hundred meters away.

She panted and looked around, screaming badly. This is an endless sea, there is not even a reef, let alone an island, there is still a half-day boat ride from the mainland, and there is no shadow of the land at all, if the ship is gone, what will she do? There was no way she could swim to shore on her own.

The coldness of the sea seeped into her skin through her clothes, and her teeth began to quirm. Without thinking too much, she hurriedly swam in the direction of the boat.

As soon as she swam a few dozen meters, she heard a sudden cheer from the direction of the big boat, and Minna's heart tightened, worried about Corbyn's safety.

She swam very carefully, as fast as she could, but she kept a careful eye on the boat. The boat hung behind the big boat, and if someone appeared in the stern of both boats, she would immediately dive into the water to avoid detection. In this way, she swam close to the boat, but it was still twenty or thirty meters away, and Minna's hands and feet were so tired that she could hardly lift them up, and her body sank into the water uncontrollably.

She couldn't help but want to cry, and screamed in her heart: Grandpa, where are you?! I'm tired and hard, why didn't you come to save me?!

I don't know if this voice reached the ears of the gods, Minna was about to despair, suddenly saw a black shadow flash in the water, and looked at it, it turned out to be a rope. She immediately remembered that it was tied to the railing when she was playing a prank the day before yesterday, and because she was afraid that Corbin would find out, she threw one end into the water, and forgot about it afterwards, and seemed to have been unnoticed. Now the end of the water, though tattered from the fish's bite, was still a rope if she could hold onto it......

Minna somehow gained strength, swung her weak hands and feet again, swam in the direction of the rope, and finally got close to it, but the boat suddenly accelerated, and she was unwilling to see the rope getting farther and farther away from her, so she pounced on it, grabbed the tail of the rope, and leaned hard to the side of the boat, but was choked by the splash of the water that the boat carried forward. She struggled to climb up to avoid the splash, when there was a sound of footsteps on the deck, and she had to pull the rope back into the water, and then she was shocked to find a dark shadow in the sea in the distance.

It's a shark!

She had heard her grandfather say that it was one of the most terrible creatures in the sea, and that when a person encounters it, he must die, so he must not bleed in the sea where sharks may be infested.

Blood? Minna thought of the captain and crew who had probably sunk into the sea, and that Corbyn had been wounded when she jumped ship, and that even she had blood on her hands. She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, and then looked at the big black fish swimming around something, not caring that they would be discovered by the people on the boat, and suddenly burst out of the sea, climbing the rope and about to climb up.

There seemed to be someone on the deck standing on the railing watching the shark, and as soon as Minna heard the human voice, she calmed down, and just tried to hold on to the rope and hoisted herself out of the ship's wall, intending to climb onto the boat as soon as the shark swam over. She also tried to keep her injured hand from touching the sea, so as not to attract the attention of the sharks.

The sharks still didn't swim over, probably because the food was enough to satisfy their mouths. The boat went faster and faster, and gradually, Minna felt that she could no longer hold on to the rope, and her hands became more and more stiff, for fear that she would let go if she had no strength, so she hurriedly wrapped the rope around her hands twice. After a while, the skin on his hands was worn by the rough surface of the hemp rope, and gradually became a blur of flesh and blood.

Minna cried silently, her whole body was cold, her hands and feet were weak, the palms and backs of her hands were covered with blood, and she kept choking on the seawater, but she didn't dare to cough up. She prayed that her grandfather would come and save her, or she wouldn't drown in the sea, or be killed by fake pirates, let alone be eaten by sharks!

But crying only consumes her physical strength, but it does not bring her a savior, and after an hour, she understands this truth. She wrapped the rope around her hand again to make it safer, and let herself be dragged along by the boat, slowly building up her strength.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky gradually darkened, and it was night in the blink of an eye. Both ships slowed down, the black skull flag on the big ship was replaced, and another flag was raised, there were people running back and forth on the deck, Minna heard those people reminding each other to change back into uniforms, and then someone threw a few bags of things into the sea, I don't know what, heavy, and didn't float up after entering the water.

Someone on the big ship was shouting, it seemed that a ship was approaching, it was their accomplice. The people in the small boat ran to the other side of the boat to look. Minna panicked, now she was hanging on the outer wall behind the left side of the boat, if another boat came by, she would probably be discovered!

She noticed that all the people in the boat had fled to the other side, and realized that this was a good opportunity, and she did not care about the danger, so she tried her best to climb up the rope. After being entangled for a long time, her hands were red and swollen, and there were blood marks everywhere, but she endured the pain and finally climbed onto the edge of the boat.

Sure enough, there was no one on deck, and even the oil lamp was lifted to the other side. Minna struggled to move across the deck, remembering that she and Corbyn had only been discovered because of blood, and she fisted her hands to keep not a single trace of blood left on the deck.

She managed to climb to the stern cargo hold, lifted the deck and climbed in, and closed the deck. When she reached the bilge, she barely made a small illumination, and saw that the cabin was empty, and there were still a few marijuana bags stacked in the corner, containing pickled beans that the Kameca people were accustomed to eating, emitting a sour smell.

Minna didn't care about the bad smell, crawled over, and covered her body with a sack before breathing a sigh of relief. I wondered, these fake pirates suddenly changed their flags and clothes, could it be that they were about to reach their destination? If, as Corbyn said, they weren't pirates, could they be ordinary people? Originally, according to the speed of the ship, it was time to arrive at the port of Matt tonight, and if the fake pirates were going to dock, did it mean that the place they were going to would not be far from the port of Matt?

Minna secretly made up her mind, and when the ship docked, she would find a way to sneak out, and then go to her mother and grandfather, so that they could vent their anger and avenge the killed crew!

Thinking of Corbyn, whose whereabouts were unknown, she became sad again.

Minna knew that if she didn't dry her clothes or change them as soon as possible, she would definitely get sick, but now she was too tired to move, so she thought about resting for a while, and then using magic to dry her clothes, so she would rest for a while......

She fell asleep groggily.

In a daze, she was woken up by a loud noise, she felt that her whole body was sore, her head was about to explode, her face was hot, but her body was hot and cold, and her throat was dry and smoking. As soon as her body moved, she found that her hands were actually tied behind her back by ropes, and she couldn't move, and she couldn't help but be surprised.

How could she fall asleep?! It must have been discovered by the bad guys!

After struggling a few times, she found that she was no longer in the cargo hold, this house was very simple, and it looked like a poor person lived in it. She was lying on what appeared to be a bed on a wooden plank. A tattered quilt was placed over her, and there was a basin of water next to the "bed" with a strip of cloth.

Where is this?

Minna was stunned when the door opened, and a man walked in, and her eyes widened.

It's Corbyn!

She was pleasantly surprised: "Corbyn, you're not dead?" That's great! I've been tied up, and you're going to let me go. ”

Corbin didn't speak, just came over with a bowl of hot water and a piece of brown bread and fed Minna. Minna also felt hungry, so she hurriedly ate with his hand, and told him to untie herself.

Corbin bowed his head and was silent for a long time before whispering "I'm sorry." Minna was a little curious: "Why do you want to say sorry?" You threw me into the sea to save me. ”

"I can't untie you." Corbyn still kept his head down, "They watch very strictly, I don't dare." They didn't find you until they got to the docks, because they heard that someone was checking on them, so they didn't dare to kill you directly. Tomorrow, there will be slave traders who will pick you up. They...... Sold you......"

Minna wondered if she had misheard, "Corbyn, what are you talking about?!" Let me go, and let's run away! ”

"No, no......" Corbin said in a voice that didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm afraid of death, I want to live, if I die, my mother won't be able to live, my sisters will be sold, slaves, prostitutes...... Miss Minna, you have always lived a good life, and it is nothing to suffer a little. Don't worry, I'm not a bad heart, as soon as I get out, I'll go to your family and ask them to save you. ”

"Don't say any more!" Minna was a little angry, and tried to break free from the rope in her hand, "Let me go!" ”

"I'm sorry, I can't put it down." Corbin wiped his face, "I killed their people and got caught, if I hadn't told them the boss's secrets and promised to help them lie to the boss, they wouldn't have let me go." But there is only one one person left, and I finally begged them to agree to just sell you. You may look down on me, but as long as I make it back alive, I don't care about anything! Ruhl is dead, and if even me dies, who will take care of my mother and sister? The dead are no longer alive, and I can only think about the living. ”

Minna looked at his calm face, and suddenly realized that he was telling the truth, and couldn't help but be a little flustered: "Corbin, you...... Are you telling the truth? You...... How can you help those bad guys?! ”

"It's the same for everyone." Corbin sneered, "Miss Minna, do you think Boss Yutan is a good person?" Don't you wonder why that ring won't open? ”

Minna then remembered the ring, looked down and found that it was gone, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"That's not your ring." Corbin said lightly, "Your ring is still with Boss Yutan, maybe it's on the accountant's side." They wanted the treasure in your ring, so they replaced it with a fake one, and it was Miss Sibylla's hand. The accountant cut you got blood, the spell is what I heard on the holy mountain. Miss Minna, we're not good people, so stop thinking we're good people. ”

Minna looked up sharply, only to see a dead silence in his calm eyes, and he couldn't say anything with his mouth open.

The next day, a scumbag-faced slave trader examined her face and took her to the carriage. There were more than 20 carriages in the group, all of which were nailed into wooden planks and were very tight. There were more than a dozen girls of all sizes locked up inside, and more than 20 big men were guarding, throwing whips at every turn, just careful not to hurt their faces.

Minna was bound hand and foot, gagged, and staggered in the carriage for two days, not knowing where she went. There was also a girl in the same car, who was immediately sold for a whip in the face, and in the past two days, the number of girls has increased by half.

The slave traders gave the girls only a little water to drink and a small slice of bread every day, for fear that they would have the strength to escape. Minna pretended to be obedient, but secretly secretly accumulated magic power, while there was no one in the car, she looked out through the crack in the carriage board, and found that the scenery outside was somewhat familiar, and when she thought about it, it was actually in Port Matt!

She watched the scene outside with ecstasy, and when Yutan's shop flashed before her eyes, she magically conjured a small ice blade, cut the rope, and tried to jump out. Unexpectedly, the guard happened to pass by outside the car, so she had to hold back and wait for the next opportunity.

As the carriage passed outside a mansion, she suddenly caught a glimpse of two noble ladies sitting on the terrace in the distance, one of them was actually her mother Dora, she couldn't bear it any longer, and when the guard walked away, she slammed the car board, jumped out, and ran directly in the direction of her mother.

On the terrace of Zhu Fa's house, Dora had just received a report from the housekeeper, and her face was full of surprise: "Really? Is there really news from Minna?! ”

"Yes, Miss Dora, that Mr. Corbyn, is a subordinate of the merchant of Cameca mentioned in Count Shaw's letter, and he says that he has news of Miss Minna, and it is very urgent."

"I'll be right away!" Dora excitedly turned back to the other lady and said, "I'm sorry, Lady Lilith, I'm missing you." ”

"Oh, please." The lady Lilith was a little displeased, but nodded faintly, "But I want you to reconsider my words." ”

"I don't have much to say to Goodwin, he has his own vision of his future, you must have misunderstood." Dora spent an afternoon with her husband's sister-in-law, and when she saw that she still did not believe her words, she became impatient and turned to meet the guests.

Lilith's face was full of pride and dissatisfaction, and she kept a straight face and did not speak. I caught a glimpse of a little girl in shabby clothes rushing towards her, shouting what kind of mother in her mouth, and immediately scolded the servant next to her: "Why did you let the beggar run in casually?!" Why don't you get out of here?! ”

Those servants had followed her for many years, and knowing her temper, they hurriedly ran over to block her.

Minna saw her mother enter the house from a distance, she was anxious, and shouted "Mommy, Mommy", but Dora was full of news about her daughter, and she didn't hear it at all, and suddenly a few people she didn't know stopped her: "Hurry up, hurry up, this is not the place for you to come!" ”

What do you mean it's not a place where she can come?! This is her grandfather's house!

Minna was about to tell them who she was, but the slavers caught up with her, and while grabbing Minna, she laughed at the servants: "I'm sorry, a newly bought little slave, I don't know how thick the sky is, so we'll take her away." ”

"I'm not your slave!" Minna struggled and shouted, "Mom! Mom! I'm ......."

A big stick struck down from behind, and the back of her neck ached, and she didn't know anything.
