C1646 Married to a Rich Family 1573

Dong Qing felt footsteps behind her. He turned around and silently handed her his shirt and jacket. "It's very windy outside. Put it on."

Ding Yiyi took it and weighed it in her hand. Then, as if performing a magic trick, she took out an orange and said, "You eat too. I know you don't have much in stock, but you also need some nutrition."

Dongqing received it with a smile on her face. He also didn't know why he was so influenced by her emotions. Seeing her so silent and depressed every day, he felt uncomfortable as well.

Guilt, perhaps, he told himself. The softness in her eyes deepened.

"Can I stand here for a moment? It's beautiful here. " Ding Yiyi was lost in thought as she stared at the surface of the sea.

Dong Qing nodded. "Fine. I want to keep it warm." He stepped out onto the deck, hands on the mast, ready for the canvas to land a little, to keep course.

Suddenly, he felt something heavy close to his back. It was an air of determination. Before he could turn around, he was hit in the neck. Before he fainted, he could still see Ding Yiyi holding a wooden bucket and pursing her lips.

Ding Yiyi sat at the table, staring at the oranges that had been eaten in the afternoon.

"What do you want to do?" He sighed. He wasn't really that angry, he just didn't know why she was doing this.

Ding Yiyi had her back to him, her voice was even fainter than the moonlight, but not gentle at all. "Nianmo taught me how to pilot a ship."

Dong Qing suddenly looked outside and said, "You've returned."

"I'm returning." Ding Yiyi stood up and repeated his guess again to confirm it. The person in the corner stood up shakily.

"I have a bad feeling that this trip won't go smoothly. I need to protect my child." She lifted the bucket and looked him in the eye.

Dong Qing secretly moved her hands. "A woman's premonition always carries feelings with it. This premonition is useless and cowardly."

She didn't say anything, just tightened her grip on the bucket in her hand and made up her mind that if he tried to stop her, she wouldn't mind knocking him out again until the ship reached the nearest city.

Suddenly, the boat began to shake violently, followed by the sound of thunder. Dong Qing's expression changed as he turned his head to look out the window. Then, he immediately stood up and walked out of the cabin.

"Damn, the storm is coming." He looked back at Ding Yiyi. "It's just like human emotions, violent and without warning."

The sky was gray. He broke free from the rope and grabbed the helmsman with his big hands. The veins on his hands bulged, as if he was trying to crush the helmsman alive.

The hull tilted slightly and retreated with an unquestionable momentum, the seawater being disturbed by the ship's movements.

"We can't continue any further!" Ding Yiyi tried to step forward to stop him, but he mercilessly swung her to the side. She kept backing away, her hands covering her stomach as her back hit the mast, causing her to groan in pain.

"Don't try to do this again. I won't let anyone disrupt my plans." He paused. "Even you."

"You shouldn't have brought me here." Ding Yiyi walked up to him and suddenly waved her hand. A silver light flashed in the air, followed by fresh blood dripping onto the blade.

Dong Qing cried out and had to let go of the helmsman, one hand covering the back of the other hand where the knife had cut it.

"You shouldn't have let me board the ship. I hide from the person I love the most for the sake of my child, but you put my child in danger." Ding Yiyi approached him, knife in hand.

In a split-second, before she could react, Dongqing had already rushed forward. She hesitated for a moment, and then the knife in her hand was immediately knocked off, falling into the sea. She fell to the ground, and Dongqing's four limbs pressed down on her, rendering her unable to move.

"As I said, no one can stop me from doing this." He was breathing heavily, sweat dripping from his hair to Ding Yiyi's neck.

Ding Yiyi turned her head to the side. The boat had already turned around and was sailing away from the original route at a steady pace. She closed her eyes in pain and her body trembled slightly.

"Don't be afraid." He was still suppressing her, but his voice had become much softer now. A long time later, when he recalled his own state of mind back then, he also felt that it was inconceivable.

At that moment, he only wanted to tell her that although she could not stop him, there was danger that he would sacrifice himself to save her.

Suddenly, the body of the ship was struck. First, it gave off a light sound, as if it was a child swimming in water. Next, it struck heavily again. The body of the ship shook violently for a moment before returning to its previous calm state.

Dongqing got up and signaled Ding Yiyi to find a place to grab onto it and keep her balance so she wouldn't hurt herself the next time they hit.2

He carefully stood up and walked to the deck to look down. The water was still blue to the point of turning green, but there seemed to be something hidden underneath that green and blue, as if it would come out at any moment to bite him.

He lowered his body even further and widened his eyes. He tried his best to confirm what exactly was in the sea. After a long while, he whispered, "Damn it."

He immediately stepped in front of the helmsman, shifted slightly in the direction of the hull, pressed the autopilot, and pulled up the canvas. "Sharks, the blood from the knife just lured them here."

Ding Yiyi was standing not far from the railing. She walked closer in silence and leaned over to look down. She felt that there was something wandering in the sea, but when she looked carefully, she found nothing.

Suddenly, a sense of ominous foreboding enveloped them. Almost at the same time, the bottom of the boat was hit by another heavy collision. The vibration was very clear. The bucket that was used for fetching water rolled from one side to the other.

Dong Qing gritted her teeth. "There's no other way. I can only endure."

Ding Yiyi continued to stare at the surface of the sea. She knew that there was something terrifying at the bottom of the sea that was eyeing the ship covetously, looking for the best opportunity to drag them all into the sea.

The ship continued to move forward unhurriedly. No one spoke, and the air was filled with a faint smell of despair. Dong Qing had already let go of the rudder in her hand. "This ship can't withstand such torture." He looked at her. "Is that what you expected?"

"No." Ding Yiyi ran back to the helmsman, her hands on the helmsman, feeling the round wood in her hands. She looked at the sea, "I can't die here, I definitely can't die here for them."

The ship was once again mercilessly rammed by the ferocious beasts. No matter how insignificant the slogan was, humans, as the highest level animals, controlled nature. However, once nature wanted to punish humans, humans were unable to resist it.

Dong Qing was ready to give up. In the vast ocean, once the boat enters the water, they will have no chance to survive. He looked at the woman who was still holding the helmsman and suddenly felt that she was not weak at all.

It was unknown whether she had heard her prayer or not, but the ship did not receive any more impacts. Several hours passed peacefully until the sky turned white and the sun once again shone onto the ship. The warmth and breeze had also returned.

"The island." Ding Yiyi said softly as she watched the approaching gigantic creature.

It was a long and narrow stretch of coastline, with waves lapping at the cliffs, and the island was full of coconut trees and unnamed herbs whose leaves were so wide.

There was a bulge on one side of the cliff, and in the bulge were the nests of many seagulls. They were glued to the cliff like myrrh, eyeing the intruders like tigers eyeing their prey.

As the boat slowly approached, Dong Qing jumped down and gave her hand to Ding Yiyi. The sunlight shined the sweat on his forehead.

Just as Ding Yiyi was about to extend her hand, she suddenly felt a sharp ray of light from the side looking at her. It was a gaze filled with hostility and a strong sense of rejection.

She subconsciously looked in the direction of her vision. The small island was covered in a patch of dark green, and the wide leaves of the wild banana were all growing to the edge of the cliff. The one close to the wild banana was a leafless tree.

In addition, there were all sorts of unnamed trees, which might or might not be one of the Joeben plants. They continued to grow without restraint, completely exposed to the human eye. Only the frightening gaze from before was gone.

"What's wrong?" Dongqing asked, also looking in her direction.

She shook her head and used his strength to get off the boat. Her shoes sank into the soft sand as soon as they touched it, and she had to keep her balance as much as possible to reduce the sinking, but she could still feel the sand scuttling inside her running shoes.

Dong Qing carried a large bag. Inside, he was trying his best to make everything as simple as possible, but his daily necessities and the weight of his own body coupled with the weight of his food caused half of his ankle to sink into the soft sand.

He struggled to pull out his legs from the sand. Sometimes, he would disturb the white, transparent crab that was buried in the sand. The crab would then quickly move its legs and burrow into another cave.

Both of them looked up the beach. Suddenly, Dong Qing who was walking in front stopped. He stabbed his hunting knife into the stone and whispered, "We are not the first ones to come here." He moved half of his body away so that Ding Yiyi, who was behind him, could see more clearly.

There was a narrow path up the slope of 45 degrees, a path that might have been passed by an adult. The path revealed brown soil and overgrown grass on both sides, and a spotted spider lay on the broad green leaves of a taro, its white web beautifully woven and neatly arranged.

Dong Qing was a bit depressed. Without a doubt, this path was man-made. Perhaps someone had long since found this place and taken something away, leaving in satisfaction.

"Let's go." Ding Yiyi was the first to speak. At this point, turning back was already out of the question. The only thing they could do was to keep walking forward.

The deeper they went, the thicker the trees became and the more humid the air became. The leaves under their feet were thick and soft, and the sound of shoes on top of them made a "ka chi" sound. It reminded Ding Yiyi of the dry, dehydrated mummies in horror movies.

"Here." Dongqing looked up at the leaf-covered sky. "It's almost nightfall. Wandering around at night is easy to get lost, and easy to be bitten by insects and other creatures."
