Everyone present looked at Long Qian, even Xiao Lei.
"Qianqian, do you have any idea?" Xiao Lei stood beside her and asked softly.
"Yes." Long Qian nodded and looked at everyone, "Do you still have a boat?"
"There are still a few small boats." Mrs. Qin came over and said, "Little girl, do you really have any idea?"
"Where did this little girl come from?" someone asked disdainfully.
Mrs. Qin faced everyone and introduced: "We are just two friends passing by. They want to stay here for a few days."
"The village chief agreed to the matter, and we also received the money to rent the house."
The village chief took two steps forward and looked at Xiao Lei and Long Qian.
"If you can find a way to rescue this person, you can live in the house as long as you want, and I won't charge any more."
"I can only say that I will try my best. If your ship... sinks, there is nothing I can do." Long Qian pursed his lips.
Who knows the depth of this sea area? Looking for it after it sinks will not be a matter of time.
However, a person cannot survive for more than a few minutes after entering the water, and all he can find is his body. This is a fact that no one can change.
"Stop misleading people with your lies here!" A woman in gray clothes pointed at Long Qian.
"Our ship will not sink, and our people will definitely come back safely."
"I also hope they can come back safely." Long Qian raised his head and looked at the village chief, "If you haven't thought of a way yet, maybe you can trust me. I won't charge."
"The village chief can't believe her." A lame man walked over with a cane.
"You can tell by looking at her tender skin and tender flesh that she doesn't live by the sea. How could she understand?"
"Little girl, please don't harm our villagers just to satisfy your curiosity. We are all poor people. Please let us go!"
Xiao Lei coughed lightly and pulled Long Qian's sleeve.
Long Qian met his gaze and shook her head: "I still want to try."
She knew that Brother Xiao was worried about her, but she couldn't turn a blind eye to the lives of more than twenty people.
"There will be heavy rain in two hours. If we miss this opportunity, the chance of saving people will be even slimmer."
The village chief looked at the sky and finally nodded: "Okay! I am willing to believe you."
"Village Chief, how can we leave our lives in the hands of two outsiders?"
"I don't agree either. Village chief, let's think of a solution ourselves."
"Yellow-haired little girl, how can you believe this?"
None of the villagers were worried, but Long Qian looked too unconvincing.
She was as beautiful as a fairy, and her skin was as white as cream. No matter how she looked, she looked like a rich lady who had been raised in the boudoir all year round.
Looking at Xiao Lei, most people would think that they are lovers who ran away from marriage.
It is possible that the eldest daughter of the boudoir can ride a horse and shoot archery, but it is absolutely impossible to travel by boat!
"Give her a chance." The village chief stepped out, "Follow me, and I will go to sea with you."
Everyone may not understand, but the village chief understands that giving Long Qian a chance is equivalent to giving a chance to the more than 20 missing villagers.
Heavy rain is coming, and if we don't save people, our chances are slim.
"Let's go and see if we can help." Someone followed the village chief.
The rest of the people looked at each other and left together.
When everyone arrived at the ferry, the east wind became stronger and stronger, making them almost unable to open their eyes.
"Village chief, the boat is ready." A man jumped out of the boat holding the rope.
He handed the rope to the village chief and looked back at Long Qian and Xiao Lei.
"The wind is so strong, do you really decide to go out now?"
