This trip, because it was a regular customer, the captain of the ship did not follow, and there were three sailors on board, one to watch the rudder and two to sail. And a handyman to make a fire and cook.

Hearing the shout, the sailor under the mast, whose name was the big pillar, hurried over.

Zheng Haizhu saw that the other two sailors and handymen were only watching from a distance, and the big pillar in front of him, who was the person who was talking, had a strange look on his face.

Zheng Haizhu stared at him: "Brother Dazhu, there are people hiding in the cabin, you already know it, right?" Cashier's? ”

Her expression was cold, but her tone did not lose its peace.

On the vast sea, there are only two men on his side, Wu Bangde and Xiao Xu, and they can't sail a boat, Zheng Haizhu doesn't want to offend these sailors.

Dazhu subconsciously said "ah".

After all, the vast majority of sailors who run the sea are only well-limbed and simple-minded.

At this moment, Dazhu, who didn't know how to lie and cover up, was annoyed at Aya, who was shrunk into a ball: "You dead mother-in-law, you can't hide it for half a day." ”

Mu Zaohua blurted out: "You are very fierce! She was seasick and vomited so hard that she made a noise so that I could hear it. ”

Zheng Haizhu said: "Zaohua, she has a body, she may be very happy, you bring her a bowl of hot millet porridge." ”

The other people present, except for Xu San, who accompanied Zheng Haizhu to Liu's house yesterday, were all stunned.

In a short moment, Da Zhu's previous anger froze obviously, and his cheeks and narrowed eyes even showed a little compassion.

"What? With Liu Baihu's baby, the old Liu daughter-in-law is still beating to death? Zheng, Zheng Dongjia, do you recognize her? ”

Zheng Haizhu said: "Sure enough, you also recognize her." In this case, when you return from Lushun, you should send her back to Liu's house. ”

"No!" Aya wailed, crawled over and hugged Zheng Haizhu's legs, "Please, beg the owner." Hit, they hit. Hungry. ”

The sailor also sighed on the side: "Everyone in the tun knows that this Li Dynasty woman is like an animal." Zheng Dongjia, our heart is also fleshy, and it is really pitiful to look at her. She said that she wanted to go back to the north and die in front of the grave of her grandmother in North Korea. If you want to talk about money, you have also received a little, and this is it. ”

The sailor took out three small silver horns from his arms and showed them to Zheng Haizhu and the others.

Zheng Haizhu recognized it at a glance, it was she who asked Xu San to take the silver ingots and cut them open at the store in Dengzhou, in order to plug the benefits along the way. Yesterday, I stuffed the scattered ones to Liu Baihu.

Zheng Haizhu looked kinder and said to the sailor, "I'll take her in and ask a few words." If you know something, tell me about it. ”

Yan Yan looked at Wu Bangde.

Wu Bangde will understand, this is a habit that Zheng Haizhu said, like interrogating separately.

Zheng Haizhu helped Aya up, walked into the cabin where he was resting, slammed the wooden door shut, and said bluntly: "Aya, you are not a North Korean. ”

A look of panic appeared on Aya's weak face.

Zheng Haizhu continued: "From Dengzhou to North Korea's Iron Mountain, there are also merchant ships selling smuggling, and since you have stolen the silver, you can pay the sailors enough, why don't you just find a ship over there?" Do you have to spend half of the money on the sea route, leaving half of the coil to go through the mountains and mountains? ”

The dodge in Aya's gaze was even stronger.

In fact, Zheng Haizhu also thought about whether Aya chose to go ashore from Lushun and go to the Yalu River by land because the sailors above were kind-hearted and easy to bribe.

However, not to mention that the land route from Lushun to North Korea is slower and more dangerous than the sea route, the key is that her intuition makes her believe that the lonely pregnant woman in front of her, who has the ability to ride a horse, is not so simple.

During interrogation, deceive the other party from the source first, which may put psychological pressure on the other party.

When Aya fell silent, Mu Zaohua knocked on the door outside.

Zheng Haizhu took the millet porridge, motioned for Mu Zaohua to go to the deck first, and then grabbed the pale Aya, put the bowl to her lips, and let her drink it slowly.

"Aya, you saved me yesterday, it's a gratitude. But I have to repay my kindness clearly. After you drink this porridge, tell me the truth. ”

In the dense heat, Zheng Haizhu felt that the body in the crook of his arm gradually sank and relaxed a little.

The warm and clear millet porridge did not make Aya vomit again.

Aya swallowed a few times, felt smooth, so she no longer concealed her hunger, took the stoneware bowl from Zheng Haizhu's hand, drank the hot porridge, and stretched out her tongue to lick the bottom of the bowl, before slowly leaning over and putting the empty bowl in front of the hatch.

She turned around and took off her jacket.

The jacket is still the tattered single dress she wore when she turned the frightened horse yesterday, and the Songjiang cotton clothes that Zheng Haizhu gave her must have been taken away by the Liu family.

Zheng Haizhu was not surprised to see her clothes just now, but then, when Aya continued to take off the same dirty and hard linen clothes inside, Zheng Haizhu was almost frightened and screamed by the sudden tragic scene in front of her.

Aya's boobs, no breasts.

Yes, no matter how old, weak, and sick an adult woman is, she should have breasts, but Aya doesn't have them.

Instead, there were two scarred wounds on the chest, and many earthworms looked like crooked maroon lines or bumps of flesh, high and low, intricately intertwined.

The shocking picture declares that this body will no longer have the possibility of festering physiologically, and at the same time, it also stimulates the witnesses with the most real cruelty.

Zheng Haizhu turned from shock to anger, and asked in a deep voice: "Did the Liu family do it?" ”

Aya shook her head, covered her clothes, and looked at Zheng Haizhu fixedly with her long, narrow eyes that did not have a fierce look.

After a while, she finally spoke again, and the Chinese she spoke was no longer awkward.

"Zheng Dongjia, my real name is Aya, but I am indeed not from the Li Dynasty. My mother is a Han from Kaiyuan, Liaodong, and my father ...... My father is a Jurchen from Yehebe. My father's family has been raising and selling horses for generations, and when my father followed his family to the horse market in Daming, he met my mother, and my mother went back to Yehebu with him. Later, the Jianzhou Ministry called, and the leader of Niu Lu wanted to bully my mother, and my father and him worked hard, and the leader killed my father and mother, and assigned me to a subordinate to make a coating. I was just 10 years old. Five years later, the daughter-in-law of the Jianzhou people saw that I had grown up, so she cut my chest. ”

"Why! Why did they do such bestial acts! Zheng Haizhu involuntarily raised her voice.

"Zheng Dongjia, the female daughter of the Ministry of Construction, often does this to the captive clothed women, whether it is from the Yehe Department or the Ming people in the west and south, mainly because they are afraid that their men will be hooked by us. Some women died on these two swords. If it's dead, it's dead, anyway, the Ministry of Construction is powerful, and you can still grab a new coat to work. ”

The more Zheng Haizhu listened, the more she felt that her throat was blocked.

In the Age of Discovery, 1617 AD, many corners of the earth were still in a state of barbarism of primitive tribes.

The slave of the defeated side is not as good as a dog in the homeland of the victorious side.

In fact, it has little to do with whether the Jianzhou Nuzhen is slavery or not. In the Ming Dynasty, where is the feudal system in the East, the commodity economy, culture and art are highly prosperous, and the Western is about to usher in the bourgeois revolutionary powers, where is there less such acts of annihilating humanity and harming the same kind?

The cruelty shown by the women of Jianzhou because of the instinct of female competition is no different from the cruelty shown by the men of the empire because of the instinct of fighting for power or profit, both are disgusting and bad.

Aya, who had replenished some energy and had a slightly bloody complexion, took a breath and continued: "Later, I escaped with a Yehe man who also made a coat. fled to the vicinity of Aiyang Fort, and because he was telling the Jurchen words, he was discovered by a group of hunters in the Ministry of Construction. I was kind enough to lure them away and told me to run, and I saw in the bushes that he had taken them away from the Jianzhou people. I fled into Aiyang Fort and was rescued by a Ming commander. He said that I am half a Ming man after all, so it is better to go to Dengzhou to be his brother's daughter-in-law, where the sea is close and the family can have enough to eat. I wanted to survive, so I went to Dengzhou with him, only to know that I was giving birth to his brother as a concubine and a baby. They only said to the people in the tun that I had fled from the Li Dynasty, and I was usually not allowed to speak more Chinese, and even if I spoke, I would stammer. ”

At this time, Zheng Haizhu had unconsciously forgotten the identity of his interrogator, and said softly: "But Liu Baihu and they are still abusing you, you still want to go back to Liaodong, right?" ”

Aya shook her head and said abruptly: "If I was just a little cold and hungry, I wouldn't want to run, Liu Baihu's younger brother saved my life after all, and he died in battle to fight with the people of the Ministry of Construction, and he was angry with my father and mother who died tragically when I was alive, I didn't want to lose to Captain Wu." But a few days ago, Liu Baihu's eldest daughter told me that if I had a male baby in my belly, when the doll landed, her father and mother would be ready to sell me. ”
