The bright sun shines on the calm sea, and for a time the whole ocean is sparkling.

A flock of seagulls hovers over the sea, and from time to time a flock of flying fish crosses the surface and becomes the blood food of the seagulls.

Suddenly, a seagull landed on a wooden pole, the thick pole rusted and surrounded by a large sail slightly yellowed.

"It's been half a month since we left the port, Mazu bless, but we haven't encountered any strong winds and waves." A sailor in his early thirties on the deck looked at the seagulls foraging not far away and smiled.

"Second son, you come to the deck again to be lazy." A big man came over scolding and grabbed the tiny braid on the back of the man's head.

"Oh, Master Li, Master Li, it hurts." The man screamed, a pleading look on his face.

"Isn't that stuffy in the cabin? Come out and breathe. The man in the ragged linen robe smiled and touched the back of his head.

"Breathable? Hmph, are the pigs under the cabin fed? The big man who was called Li Ye snorted coldly.

"I tell you, if one of the pigs under the cabin dares to starve to death, then I'll throw you down to feed the fish." The bare-chested man said viciously.

Seeing the fierce look on the big man's face, the man did not reply, but hurriedly picked up the barrel under his feet and ran to the cabin.

Perhaps frightened by the big man, the man stumbled to the side of the cargo hold with the barrel, and a lot of brown liquid was spilled from the barrel along the way.

"Why did the second stunned only arrive now?" Out of the cargo compartment was a short man, a short braid on the back of his head faintly visible through the faint light through the hatch.

"Why is it so slow, these pigs haven't eaten for most of the day,."

"Mom, it's smellier than a pigsty down there, no, I'm going up to breathe." The short man pushed a slender whip and a key to the second stunned man, and hurried out of the stinking place.

The second stunned man was also full of disgust, and slowly put down the barrel while covering his nose.

Around him, rows and rows of wooden stakes stood in the warehouses where the goods were supposed to be placed.

The stakes were thin, about the size of a human arm's arm, but they were so dense that they divided the warehouse into several different cells.

"The old rule, one person has a dry biscuit, a bowl of tea, don't grab it." The man used a soup spoon to slowly pour a large bucket of tea into several small buckets.

A large string of dry biscuits was thrown into the cell by the man.

Suddenly, in the dim corner, one pale hand after another stretched out.

No one snatched it, everyone just silently held their own bread, and at the same time knelt in front of the stake with their broken bowls, reaching out to get tea.

A tall and thin man sat in a dim corner, holding half a cake and munching silently, while a young man handed him a bowl of tea.

"Thanks, Erya." The young strong man smiled, reached out and took a mouthful of the broken pottery bowl and poured water into his stomach.

The young man, known as Erya, was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, shorter and thinner than his peers, and was now sliding a ceramic piece from a broken bowl into the wall of the cabin.

"It's been twenty-one days, Brother Li, we've been brought here for twenty-one days." Looking at the marks one by one, Erya said softly.

"Brother Li, I'm homesick, I miss my father and mother." Erya wept softly.

The young strong man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's been twenty-one days, and I'm still crying, I still want to have three acres of land at home, and the landlord has to report the loss to me and take back the land." ”

Erya lowered his head, not sobbing but silently nibbling on the cake.

"Brother Li, we're on the thief ship, where are you going to take us?" Erya muttered while nibbling on the cake.

"Who knows, I cultivated the land at home, and after listening to the words of the big tiger in the next village, I went to a master to do short-term work, and I was paid for eating and drinking, and finally ended up in this place." The young man said helplessly.

For more than 20 days, he and Erya from the same village have been staying in this dark cabin, and on weekdays, someone brings him dry cakes, sea fish or something to satisfy his hunger, and from time to time someone hands over a bucket of tea, although he is hungry, he can't starve to death.

The large wooden barrel next to it was already full of excrement and emitted a foul smell.

I'm okay, I don't get bullied with my strong body, but Erya is being excluded and bullied by others, but fortunately, I met myself in the same village, and I was protected by myself, and I didn't die when I helped each other during this period of time.

A group of people silently nibbled on the bread, and after drinking the tea in the barrel, they did not shout, but lay down and sat one by one.

Once again, the cabin was dead silent.

Carrying the barrel, the two stunned people hurriedly ran out of the cabin and rushed straight to the deck.

"Mom, this stink is too strong." The two were stunned and shouted, and the wooden barrel on the side was thrown directly to the ground.

"Master Li, on weekdays, I secretly go to Nanyang to carry goods, this trip is wrong, why are you carrying people." The second stunned man breathed in the fresh air on the deck and spoke to the shirtless man.

"Cut, what do you know, Nanyang is a big man." The man known as Li Ye whispered.

Li Ye's voice was very small, and basically no one heard it, and the second stunned looked at Li Ye suspiciously.

"Okay, you don't need to ask, it's almost Luzon, give some dried fish and bean sprouts to more than 100 people under the boat tonight, and let them eat enough before leaving." Li Ye said.

For more than a hundred people at the bottom of the boat, these twenty days were boring.

Although he could not starve to death, he could not fill his stomach, so he could only crouch in the corner or curl up in the corner like a dead dog.

Perhaps because it didn't take long, in such a small and stuffy environment, not too many people had a fever and fell into a coma.

However, there are already many people whose faces are yellow and white, and their bodies are rapidly emaciating.

Finally, as night fell, the people in the lower cabins finally ate slightly better food.

Li Liuyi pushed away a few people in front of him and snatched a few pieces of dried fish and a bowl of fish soup.

Looking at Li Liu's rather sturdy body, several emaciated civilians retreated to the side.

Li Liu handed a bowl of fish soup to Erya.

"Thank you, Brother Li." The second tooth trembled and picked up the bowl and drank half a bowl of hot fish soup.

"Brother Li, give." Erya cautiously handed the bowl to Li Liu.

Li Liu smiled and drank the fish soup in a big gulp.

"Brother Li, it looks like you're leaving." Erya muttered in a low voice.

"What the hell?" Li Liu bit the dried fish and snorted.

"I heard my father say that when the county lord wants to cut down the prisoners in the prison, he will give the guillotine a good last meal." Erya gnawed on the fish and said, "You said that is not the reason." ”

Li Liu knocked on the door of Erya's head, but he also muttered in his heart.

Li Liu, don't look at the five big and three coarse, his heart is still very fine.

After listening to Erya's words, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"No, it's really a severed head, I'm only twenty-six, and the girl at the entrance of the village hasn't touched her hand, so she died here in such an unknown way." The more Li Liu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he didn't fall asleep all night. The second tooth on the side fell asleep.

Looking at Li Liuzhi rolling his eyes, he didn't know how long it was, just when Li Liu was drowsy.

There was a sound of the chains loosening, Li Liu slowly opened his eyes, only to see that the chains locked in the cell had been undone, and several thieves holding Senhan steel knives had broken in with hideous faces.

"They're all lined up for me, with the big ones going forward and the small ones coming back." One of the leaders shouted.

Some people understood, and many more were still in a trance, and were finally forcibly separated by steel knives.

Li Liu and the second teeth were also separated, and the thin second teeth were directly divided at the end.

Li Liu stood at the front, led by a strange man holding a steel knife, and walked towards the outside of the cabin.

Li Liu felt a little uneasy in his heart, It has been more than 20 days since he was brought here, and this is the first time he has been let out.

Soon, a dazzling light shone on his face, and Li Liu's eyes tingled.

There is only one narrow window in the cabin that can let in the sun, and the cabin is dim on weekdays, and Li Liu instinctively covers his eyes when it is illuminated by such a dazzling sun.

The strange sailor on the side impatiently dragged Li Liu to the deck, and after walking to the deck, Li Liu barely adapted to the light.

Keep your head down and squint at everything unfamiliar around you.

"Don't be stunned, move forward." One of the sailors shouted.

Soon a group of people were rudely stuffed into a small boat by sailors, and the small boat was filled with more than thirty people, and seven or eight sailors slowly rowed towards the shore not far away, shaking their oars.

Li Liu stayed on the boat, staring intently at the land that was getting closer and closer.
