Chapter 258: Sneaking into the ship
Seeing that it was about to fall into the night, Su Liuye also knew that it was impossible to sneak into the boat to find Erbao on her own.
"What are you doing here? The big boss said that he would stay on the boat tonight and set off early tomorrow morning! ”
"Hey, I'll just come out and find something, and I'll be back soon."
She was about to run back to the town to ask Yang Chongzhou for help, but she saw two thieves coming from the boat.
The conversation between the two made her face sink.
If she sets off early tomorrow morning, she won't have time to go back to find Yang Chongzhou now.
Soon it will be night, the mountains and forests are steep, there are wild beasts in them, she is not familiar with the area, it is easy to get lost in the night inside.
But she can't wait here.
If Mingyin and Erbao were really on the boat, she could only take advantage of tonight to find someone on the boat.
Su Liuye gritted her teeth, and after seeing that there was no one on the shore, she quickly ran to the boat, found a room where no one was around, took a set of clothes from the closet and changed them, and painted her face black to make sure that no one would recognize her.
Maybe it was about to eat, but there were only a few people patrolling outside the cabin, all of them were fierce-looking men, and they knew at a glance that they were bandits.
"Hey, what are you still walking around here, why don't you go to the kitchen and get the water?"
She was trying to see where the children were being held, when a man suddenly popped up and opened her mouth to say sharply.
"Okay, okay."
Although he didn't know what the other party was talking about, Su Liuye didn't want to be discovered, so he could only lift the bucket that was put aside according to his words.
The bucket was filled with black water, and there were oil splashes floating on it, and I don't know what kind of water it was.
"Are you going to pour this water out?"
She asked, in a suppressed voice.
The man was about to leave, but when he heard her words, he turned around and shouted, "What is it?" Bring it to those bunnies to drink, don't die of thirst! ”
"Okay, okay."
Su Liuye was ecstatic in his heart, if he guessed correctly, he should be talking about Erbao and them.
But Su Liuye didn't dare to ask more, so as not to reveal his identity.
She left with a bucket of water, walking with her head down to avoid being recognized, her long hair hanging down that obscured half of her face.
Because she didn't know where the children were, she could only carry the bucket and look slowly on the boat, and when she found the cabin behind her, there was a small sound inside, like the sobbing of children.
Su Liuye looked around, and seeing that no one had noticed her, she crept in.
"Woo ......"
It was dark inside, but the child's suppressed sobs were clearer.
Candles could not be used lightly on the ship, so she could only touch the walls and move cautiously. Walking all the way to the innermost part of the cabin, her eyes were accustomed to the darkness of the place, and she vaguely saw a large iron cage with several children in the cage.
Su Liuye's heartbeat rose to her throat, she walked over quickly, and asked in a suppressed voice, "Xiaoyin, Erbao, are you there?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the sobbing in the cage immediately stopped.
In the next second, a small figure ran to the iron cage, and the voice of the milk whirring was surprised, "Mother, is it you?" ”
"Erbao!"
Su Liuye immediately recognized the voice.
It's just that it's too dark in the funazo, she can't see the child in the cage clearly, and she said in a suppressed voice, "Erbao, isn't it you?" Is Xiaoyin by your side? ”
"Mother, it's me! Brother Xiaoyin is also there, he's over there! ”
The little man in the cage looked up and pointed to the corner.
Su Liuye only saw a few children standing over there, one of them was standing alone, his figure was not the same as the others, it should be Mingyin.
Seeing that he was safe and sound, Su Liuye breathed a sigh of relief and scolded, "What's the matter with you two? Why run out on your own! ”
"Mother, I didn't mean to ......"
Erbao said pitifully, even if he couldn't see her face, he could imagine her aggrieved expression at the moment.
Su Liuye also knew that now was not the time to say this, she looked back, saw that there was no one outside the cabin, and called Mingyin over in a low voice.
"Xiao Yin, do you know what kind of ship this ship is?"
"Smuggling boats."
The boy's voice was calm and unbefitting his age, "The destination is the capital." ”
"Beijing?"
She frowned.
From the capital of Luoxi Town, it will take more than a month to take the waterway, and they can't stay on the boat! If he had been on the ship for more than a month, Dabao would definitely be worried.
"You wait here first, and I'll find a way to take you out."
"Xiaobai has already gone to call someone."
"But they said they were going to leave early tomorrow morning."
Su Liuye was still not at ease.
The little white dog goes to call people at this time, and it may not be able to pass until midnight at the earliest.
She looked at the other children in the cage, and the sobbing stopped as soon as she came over. Although she couldn't see it, she could feel the children looking at her in horror, and the air was filled with a foul smell.
The thought of these children being kept here all this time made her face ugly.
The dirty water in the bucket is their drinking water, right?
What scum!
After these children were captured, they were locked up in such a place, and they ate and drank as well as animals.
"You're waiting for me here, I'll find a way to take you out!"
With that, she immediately wanted to leave.
But as soon as he moved, his sleeve was pulled.
She turned around, Ming Yin was looking at her, and there was coldness in her immature voice, "The people outside are all bandits, you can't do it alone, wait for Yang Chongzhou and them to come." ”
Su Liuye pursed her lower lip.
Mingyin continued, "There's a place over there, you go there and hide, don't let the people on the boat find out." You can't get off the boat at will now anyway. ”
Su Liuye also knew what his words meant.
It is impossible for the bandits on the ship not to notice her all the time, she only came up when there were few people, but once there were many people, it was easy to be recognized.
The bandits usually stay in the mountains, and they know each other so well that it is not difficult to find her.
The darkness in the cabin obscured her vision, and she opened her mouth, wanting to ask Mingyin why she ran out, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
It's not a good time to ask this question.
"Are you sure they're coming?"
"Yes."
Mingyin nodded, his tone determined.
Su Liuye was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll go over there and wait." If Brother Yang hadn't come over later, I'd find a way to take you out. ”
"Okay."
Seeing him nodding, Su Liuye didn't say much, walked quickly to the corner of the cabin, and soon found the place where Ming Yin said.
There are several boxes stacked here, forming a dead end, and sitting here will not be won by outsiders.
You can also see the iron cage from here.
Su Liuye had been in the cabin for a long time, and her eyes had become more and more accustomed to this dimness. When she looked up, she realized that there were at least a dozen children in the cage, each of them very thin.
