Chapter 1561 (1/2)
Li Qing's face was cold, and his previous smile had disappeared: ”set sail immediately and the destination is near the port. I don't want to say the same thing for the third time.”
”Yes, yes, yes.”
In response, the more than ten sailors hurriedly climbed up from the ground, lifted the anchor and launched the cargo ship.
Li Qing leaned against the boat and breathed a sigh of relief. Although the road ahead is still unknown, he has at least taken a step closer to Lingang.
Lin Mengdie came up and said low, ”these people... Do you want to keep them?”
Li Qing looked around and said, ”what do you think? Although these people have bad character, they are definitely good at taking charge of the boat. Kill them all. Do you want us to suffer?”
Xinya puffed her pink cheeks and shouted, ”I feel flustered and very unstable...”
”Don't worry, I'm watching.” Li Qing smiled. ”If anyone dares to cause trouble, it's over.”
After a slight pause, he said again, ”you go to the cabin and have a look. I'll stay up and watch.”
”OK.” without hesitation, Lin Mengdie handed him the backpack, then rubbed the bloody dagger with the sole of her shoe, and got into the cabin with Xinya.
With the sea breeze blowing on her face, Li Qing felt very happy.
About ten minutes later, Xinya hurried up: ”come on!”
”What's the matter?”
”There are a lot of women down there.”
”Ah?” Li Qing pulled at the corners of his mouth and waved to a sailor close to him, ”come down with me.”
The sailor dared not disobey, bowed his head and honestly followed him down to the cabin.
Lin Mengdie was standing there. He had a strange look at the person who came down and raised his chin in front of him: ”look.”
Li Qing looked over and saw 50 or 60 women locked in the cabin by chains, crowded, agitated and frightened.
The oldest of these women seems to be only 30 years old, while the youngest seems to be only in their teens, and their bodies are pitifully thin.
Li Qing frowned and asked the sailor, ”what's going on?”
”Bought... Bought...” I don't know whether it's nervous or not good Chinese, the sailor stammered.
Xinyaqin burst into tears: ”they were all bought... The guy whose hands were cut off by miss and sister is a personal dealer. He used to buy me at the market...”
After her reminding, Li Qing seemed to have some impression.
”Let them all go. It's easy to get sick if they're stuck here. Let them go to the deck to get some air,” he said in a deep voice. ”These people can't be brought back to the port. Let me think about it and find a safe way to settle down.”
As he said this, his eyes flashed over the faces of the women in the cabin.
”Hmm?” Li Qing suddenly found an unusually bright eye, but when he looked for it again, he couldn't find it again.
”Is it your own illusion?”
He thought so much in his heart that he felt incredible. When he suddenly touched that look, a strange feeling of electric shock was clearly surging up in his heart.
Seeing that he looked different, Lin Mengdie asked, ”what's the matter with you?”
”Ah, nothing.” Li Qing was worried about it. After explaining a few words, he took the sailor back to the deck.
He sat on the deck against the railing and felt an inexplicable irritation. Just now, the light in his eyes always lingered in his mind, just like a lingering shadow.
”I'm so paranoid. I really should have a good sleep.” he raised his hand and rubbed his temples, pulled his backpack over, pulled open the zipper and saw what Lin Mengdie and Xinya had brought.
Some food, and some bits and pieces for women.
One of the heavy cloth bags attracted Li Qing's attention. He opened it and found that it was full of gold grains in the stream.
He couldn't help laughing: ”this must have been picked up by Xinya secretly. This little girl... Is really a money fan...”
Li Qing tied up the cloth bag and stuffed it back into his backpack as if he didn't know. He took out the chart, unfolded it slowly, and stared at the pencil marks on Yamal island for a moment.
A few minutes later, he suddenly stood up as if he remembered something, held the railing and looked out.
But there was only a vast line of sea and sky in the distance, and the shadow of amai island had long disappeared.
Li Qing whispered to himself, ”it's really an island. I can't see it for so long.”
”What are you talking about?”
Li Qing suddenly turned her head and saw Lin Mengdie standing behind her.
He smiled and shrugged his shoulders. ”It's strange to say that before I left, I looked forward to leaving every day. Now I really leave, but I turn to nostalgia for that small place.”
