C1621 Wealthy Marriage 1548
"This person is called Elegg, he was the first to be caught. That's why he's acting so domineeringly here, bullying every newcomer who comes here. Other people wouldn't dare say anything to protect themselves, so if you see her walking around in the future, she won't be interested in you." The girl lowered her voice and secretly handed half of the bread she had grabbed to Ding Yiyi.
"No need, she'll make things difficult for you if she sees it." Ding Yiyi pushed the bread back and asked, "What's your name?"
The girl looked at her with an emotional look, "My name is Zhao Tao and I'm a jewelry salesman. I've been sent here to work for the Dubai for a year."
"I am Ding Yiyi, from Dongjiang City. Little Peach, listen to me, we can escape. Don't lose your confidence." Ding Yiyi took her hand.
"That's the funniest joke I've ever heard. Where do you want to go, swim from the sea back to your hometown?"
The others also started to laugh, mocking Ding Yiyi for overestimating her own abilities and thinking too much.
Zhao Tao ignored the others and lowered her voice instead. "What she said is right. We don't even know where we're going. Outside is the vast ocean, we have no way to escape."
"Sure." Ding Yiyi picked up a bread bag that someone threw on the ground, "Look, all of it has a shelf life, and the latest shelf life was four days ago. That is to say, they were worried that we would have a physical illness, so they would ensure the freshness of the food to a certain extent."
"So?" Zhao Tao looked confused, and some people in the cabin started to listen quietly.
Ding Yiyi clenched the bread in her hand tightly. "So, if we want to keep the food fresh, then we will definitely need to go ashore to replenish it. I don't think the size of this ship is very big, so we can't store much. We will definitely go ashore to replenish it."
Some of them were housewives, some were employees of the company, and some were simply tourists who traveled on Dubai. Who would have thought that one day, they would be locked in a cabin in the darkest of times, and who knew where they would be sold off to, and who knew what kind of cruel life awaited them?
"You just don't understand the situation here and you have such stupid confidence," Alec said quickly in a tone that was mixed with English. "You just don't understand how scary they are, so it's easy to get your hands on. You'll be honest after another five or six days."
When the hopeful women heard her words, the light of hope that had risen in their eyes vanished. Who didn't? When they first arrived here, they comforted themselves. Maybe someone would quickly discover that they were gone and come to save them. Perhaps in just a few hours, they would be saved in a day.
But, day after day, until they boarded the ship, the rescuers still did not appear. Hope turned into disappointment, despair turned into despair, despair turned them into zombies.
Ding Yiyi didn't believe that her idea wouldn't come true. Right at this moment, the sound of a wooden pole hitting something came from the barrel above her. A rough voice was accompanied by loud laughter. "You sows, quiet down. Otherwise, I'll let you hide the smell of the sausage."
"Hahahaha." Waves of laughter were transmitted to the hold of the ship through the metal slab. Everyone stopped talking and could no longer laugh. They found themselves a corner to hide.
Zhao Tao's eyes were also filled with disappointment. "We won't be able to escape, Yiyi, even if what you said is true and they need supplies to get to the shore, the people on the boat are all big and strong men. We're just women, we can't beat them."
"Little Peach, do you have anyone that's important to you?" "I had a quarrel with someone very important to me, and it was very, very fierce. I couldn't forgive him, but the thought of parting with him forever, of feeling sad that he wouldn't be able to see me, made me feel full of strength."
She stood up and faced Zhao Tao's shocked gaze. "I'm still so angry even now. I won't forgive him even if I leave this place." Suddenly, her voice softened. "But if he disappears like this, he'll collapse. When I think of his disintegrated expression, I can't help but work hard."
Zhao Tao stared blankly at the newcomer in front of her as she walked to the cabin. She leaned her ear against the cabin and listened intently, her eyes suddenly reddening. She quickly turned her back and lay down, tears flowing uncontrollably down her face and mixing with the crumbs of the bread in her mouth.
"Damn it!" Ding Yiyi searched for an hour to get a rough idea of where they were. This should be the bottom of every boat. Previously, this type of boat would contain livestock and animals.
Later, when the Civil War broke out, there were also people who imprisoned the blacks. Due to the poor circulation and the fact that the defecation was taken care of in such a small cabin, many of the blacks became infected and died before they could reach their destination.
Out of thousands of people, only a few hundred were left at their destination. Now, there were more than ten women in the cabin, and if one was not careful, they might get sick. Fortunately, those people seemed to want to sell them, so they took care of their health.
She spun around again, almost stepping on someone else, and hurriedly apologized. The other person mumbled something, but didn't say anything and just went back to sleep.
This ship was not a good ship, and the sound was not sealed well. She could still occasionally hear voices from above, so there shouldn't be many people here. Remembering the sight of Lujas before she fainted, she felt a wave of chagrin, blaming herself for her stupidity.
At night, she was so hungry that she couldn't sleep. The square lid above her head was surrounded by light, like a thin muslin. If one looked carefully, they would see dust floating in the air.
"If only I could turn into dust and run out." She turned toward the light.
Behind him, someone was talking in his sleep, "Child, don't run! If you run any further, Mom won't be able to find you. Mom will be very sad."
She turned her head and, borrowing the moonlight, saw a very good-looking woman talking in her sleep. She already had a child, so the child must be very sad right now.
At this moment, a "peng peng" sound came from above her head. She immediately stood up and listened attentively.
A commotion broke out in the crowd, and everyone woke up. Ding Yiyi had never seen such despair and fear on a human's face.0
The person on her arm grabbed her, forcing her to crouch and move. It was Zhao Tao who pulled her.
"Don't make a sound, lower your head later. Don't ever meet their eyes." Zhao Tao hurriedly ruffled her hair and also reached out her hand to ruffle Ding Yiyi's hair.
Over a dozen women spontaneously gathered in a corner, each of them shivering and crying softly.
Then the door opened, and the man's rough laughter was joined by the white moonlight.
A ladder was lowered. Ding Yiyi's expression was cold as she closely watched the foreign man who was slowly climbing down.
…
The men were rugged, their huge bodies attached to the small iron shelves, looking ridiculous and cumbersome, but no one laughed, these women could not think in their heads, only the instinct to survive. They tried to shrink their bodies as small as possible, hoping to become dust in the air and escape from the cage.
When the fat man came down, another man came down with a lamp, which illuminated the frightened faces of the women.
"Tsk tsk, it's time for the carnival again. Let me see these sows. They really can sell for a good price, but enjoying themselves is also fine."
The one who spoke was the fat man. He took the lamp from his companion and walked over to the shivering woman. He imagined himself as a sovereign of the world, and the woman in front of him was subservient to his efforts.
…
The light from the lamp flashed from the left to the right, illuminating the fear and the tears on everyone's face, as if trying to amuse them. The fat man skimmed through it roughly, then slowly turned from the right to the left, and said with conviction, "Which one should I choose? Let me see, let me choose."
At that moment, a scream came from the crowd. A woman suddenly stood up and stumbled forward. The man's attention was attracted, and the lamp's light gathered on her face.
It was the face of an Asian, with tears and fear all over her pretty face. The woman said something in Japanese, perhaps begging for mercy or perhaps cursing.
By the light of the lamp, Ding Yiyi could see the woman's face and the lotus flower pattern on her neck. This was the Chinese girl that she was looking for on TV. She was also caught here.
The girl was dragged out. She cried and screamed as she struggled hysterically. Her helpless eyes swept over the dozen or so women in front of her as she waited for someone to save her.
The man's hand pinched her face, causing her laughter to sound disgusting. Ding Yiyi looked at the lotus flower on her neck and suddenly felt that it had turned into a bloody expression. Then it slowly turned black and white before withering away.
Just as Ding Yiyi was about to stand up and save the girl, Zhao Tao quickly grabbed her and covered her mouth with her hand. Her other hand desperately held her head, preventing her from making a sound.
Both men turned their attention to the beautiful, shivering woman in their hands. They pushed her up the ladder, and soon the heavy lid closed again, and the room sank back into Hunan.
Zhao Tao released her hand. In the darkness, she could feel the wetness in her hand. It was Ding Yiyi's tears. They were very sad, but also very hot.
"We won't be able to save her. They've always been like this. Some of the girls have returned, and some of them haven't." As if she had thought of something bad, her stiff body started to tremble violently, and she refused to speak again.
Ding Yiyi suddenly stood up and walked over to Eli, her fists clenched tightly as she shouted, "It's you! I saw you push that girl before she staggered and fell forward. That's why she was taken away!"
