C560 Leave the Deserted Island
Natalie's family followed Chang'an's instructions and brought her, Xia Jie, and her elder daughter to the dock.
On the day of the transaction, many people gathered at the pier.
Many people brought a small backpack for the child who was about to leave.
Most of them were women between the ages of 12 and 30.
There were also men, but very few.
A few people came down from the cruise parked by the harbor.
"They're the only ones who can drive such a big ship. We've never had such a big ship here before." Nana was also surprised when she saw the ship.
Xiao Chang'an and Xia Jie were mixed in the crowd, but because there were many people, no one noticed them.
The people who got off the ship were tall and strong, carrying goods.
After putting the goods down, he stood on both sides of the ladder.
Then two people came down from above. One of them had a number plate in his hand, and the other registered.
The goods were opened. They were all inferior quality tobacco and alcohol, as well as some things that had long been eliminated in the outside market.
Xiao Chang'an lightly frowned. Just these things could be exchanged for a living person?
Everyone was very familiar with the procedure. They lined up and brought the people that they wanted to trade to the side of the ship to start registering.
After the registration, the person who sent them away would board the boat and the others would go and collect the materials.
Because they were reluctant, they would stand by the sea and wave goodbye to their family members who had boarded the boat.
"Chang'an, Brother Xia, this way." Natalie called out to them and let them follow by her side.
Xiao Chang'an looked at Xia Jie. Although she knew that Xia Jie could sense everything around him, she still reached out and pulled him to her side.
"Follow me after boarding the boat." Xiao Chang'an said in a low voice.
Because Xia Jie could not see, and Xia Jie usually acted "delicate" in front of her, she had subconsciously regarded Xia Jie as a weak group.
Xia Jie obediently walked to Chang'an's side and closely followed her.
People in front of them took the ship one after another.
The wet and salty sea breeze was blowing in the wind. The huge cruise ship was like a giant beast that stopped by the shore, swallowing people who got on the ship one after another.
"Can you light up more cigarettes?" One of the islanders wanted more.
However, he was pushed to the ground by the tall and strong man who had sent out the supplies.
"Get lost! The people you brought are only worth this much, you know? I still want more, bring a girl next time! " The man was furious.
The man was so scared that he immediately picked up his cigarette and ran away.
"Next!" The person who registered shouted.
Natalie quickly went forward and first brought her daughter over. She used the island's language to say, "This is my daughter Nana."
The person who registered looked Nana up and down and nodded. He then sent a number card to Nana.
"Go up." He said in a low fluent local voice.2
Nana started to cry and was reluctant to leave. "Mother..."
Natalie also could not bear to part with her daughter and hugged and cried.
The person who registered was impatient, "Hurry up! Don't waste time."
At this moment, Chang'an walked forward.
"Register us first." She spoke fluent native language.
But the person who registered looked at her and Xia Jie. The skin color and appearance of these two people clearly did not seem like they were from the island.
But these two people were very beautiful, both of them high quality goods.
If they were sold, they would be able to sell for quite a good price.
However, he was still a little vigilant, "You're not from this island?"
Natalie immediately said, "They have been on the island for a long time, so they can be considered our residents."
Xiao Chang'an's eyes looked straight at the person who registered, "That's right, we are the residents here."
Her eyes had the power to bewitch people's hearts. The person Xiao Chang'an looked at seemed to have been hypnotized. She nodded and started to register the two of them. She gave Chang'an and Xia Jie a number card each.
She did not even ask Xia Jie about it and directly let them board the ship.
