Everything that happened in the bilge was unacceptable not only to Gu Qiancheng but also to Zi Che, a grown man.
It would be okay if it was only once or twice occasionally, but this kind of thing can happen almost every two days in the bilge, and sometimes there will even be several outbreaks during the day.
The people in the bilge, regardless of whether they were men or women, were like animals in front of the sailors, allowed to be bought, sold, and humiliated. However, the people in the bilge did not think about unity, but fought internally and killed each other.
Ziche couldn't tell how he felt every time he saw women who were humiliated to death and young men who were beaten to death for snatching food.
He knew that these people didn't want to do it either. Life in the bilge was really too difficult. If you wanted to survive and leave this hellish place, you had to eat enough.
Only when you are full can you be energetic, and when you are energetic can you be strong, and only when you are strong can you be attracted by the buyer, and then you can leave here.
The food provided to them on the ship could barely keep them alive, and they had to grab food if they wanted to be full.
Zi Che understood what these people were thinking, but he still couldn't accept it.
However, Zi Che also knew that now was not the time to meddle in other people's business. He didn't even say a word when he didn't see the girl. How could he, a grown man, say anything?
It's just that I can't stay in this place no longer. Let alone Gu Qiancheng, a girl, even he, a grown man, can't bear to see these insults every day.
Zi Che once again brought up the matter of leaving, "Elder Peng, the girl can't stay here any longer, we have to find another way out." For today's conversation, Zi Che didn't eat for two days in a row, just to allow his martial arts to recover.
Of course, he had been avoiding the old housekeeper while doing this, and the old housekeeper had no idea that he had now resumed his martial arts.
Gu Qiancheng held the copper basin and vomited wildly in the corner. The contents of his stomach had long been emptied, but the mixture of various monsters in the air made Gu Qiancheng very uncomfortable. Even if he couldn't vomit anything, he still felt
Desire to vomit.
Hearing Zi Che's words, Gu Qiancheng barely suppressed the nausea in his throat and said: "We have been on this boat for ten days. Qin Jiyan will definitely not be able to find our whereabouts. We have to change channels today no matter what.
.”
Gu Qiancheng put down the copper basin and wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth.
She really couldn't stay in this place. Although riding in a carriage was uncomfortable, no matter how bumpy the carriage was, it was not as disgusting as on the boat.
On this boat, she suffered tremendous physical and mental torture. She now needs a change of environment, otherwise she will definitely suffer from prenatal depression.
Gu Qiancheng and Zi Che had mentioned the matter of changing lanes several times, but the old housekeeper never agreed. Zi Che went hungry for two days this time to save his martial arts, just to use force to force the old housekeeper to cooperate.
Unexpectedly, this time the old housekeeper was very cooperative and said cheerfully: "Okay, we will change lanes tonight. During the day, this ship is hidden in the dark, and their hiding place is very hidden and they will not let us out."
Yes, we can only change lanes at night."
The old butler's cheerfulness made Gu Qiancheng inexplicably uneasy. Gu Qiancheng stared at the old butler for a long time and said, "You didn't lie to us?" They mentioned it several times before, but the old butler never let go, but now he suddenly let go.
, which is really suspicious.
The old housekeeper is not a kind person.
"Girl, although this old slave is a member of the Changsheng Sect, he is also the one who keeps his word. Just watch, girl, we will definitely be able to leave this ship tonight." The old housekeeper sighed softly, as if he couldn't say anything.
They were disappointed and melancholy, but neither Zi Che nor Gu Qiancheng would soften their hearts because of this.
"You'd better not play any tricks, I don't mind if the fish is dead or the net is broken." Gu Qiancheng stared at the old housekeeper coldly, until the old housekeeper lowered his head and avoided her eyes, and then looked away.
"Don't worry, girl. The old slave's life is in the hands of the emperor. If there is no other way, he will not force the girl to get on this boat." This boat has all kinds of disadvantages, but one thing is excellent, and that is - enough
It's so hidden that even Qin Jiyan can't find it.
Cats have catwalks and mice have mouse paths. Don't underestimate these human traffickers. Their ability to keep the business going for a long time is a kind of ability in itself.
This was the reason why the old steward chose this ship. The emperors of the Qin Dynasty changed several times, but this human trafficking route has always survived and has never been discovered.
"Okay, I believe you once." The old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and Gu Qiancheng and Zi Che also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zi Che's martial arts is not weak, but a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. Not to mention that they are not familiar with this area, even if they can successfully control the people on the boat, they will not be able to leave the boat for a while, and they will even have to use the weapons on the boat.
people, send them to land.
As for the sailors on the ship, even though they were all wretched, they were all good hands, at least good hands in the water. On the water, Zi Che might not have a chance of winning with her as a burden.
Now that the old housekeeper agreed to change the ship and lane, they didn't have to take any risks and Gu Qiancheng felt at ease.
In order to have enough energy to leave at night, Gu Qiancheng forced himself to close his eyes even though he couldn't sleep and his stomach felt uncomfortably tight.
After staying on this ship for more than ten years, Gu Qiancheng was completely exhausted. His face was so thin that he had no flesh left, and his eyes were so big that it was scary. In addition, he had not washed himself for more than ten days, and his body was extremely dirty.
It looked like I had just walked out of a refugee camp, without the rosy look that a pregnant woman should have.
And under such tragic circumstances, it is a miracle that the child can still live well.
Gu Qiancheng fell asleep in a daze while thinking wildly. But she didn't know that while she was sleeping peacefully, there was a man outside who was looking for her like crazy.
A few days after leaving Beijing, Qin Jiyan lost Gu Qiancheng. He was afraid of the news. For this reason, Qin Jiyan did not hesitate to expose his identity and sent out all the secret guards and royal guards. However, even in this way, Gu Qiancheng and his party could not be found.
trace.
There was no land on the road, so Qin Jiyan made a bold guess. The old housekeeper took Gu Qiancheng by water and land. But there was more than one road by water and land, and Qin Jiyan couldn't mobilize all his troops to block all the roads. He could only let the secret guards and the Jinyi Guards
Investigate in private, and he chooses the path he thinks is most likely.
Qin Jiyan walked on the water for seven or eight days, driving day and night. During this period, in order to check Qiancheng's whereabouts, Qin Jiyan also detoured to several places, but still found nothing.
Not only him, but also the imperial guards and secret guards also had no gain.
"Where did the people go?" Standing on the bow of the boat, facing the wind, clusters of green leaves and red flowers on both sides of the bank were crowded together, which looked quite interesting, but Qin Jiyan had no intention of looking at it.
He just wants to know now, where are Gu Qiancheng and his party?
