Chapter 244: The Sea of ??Clouds and Sails (4)

The sun slid from the east to the west, and when the last ray of gorgeous sunset disappeared, life fell into the noise of the night again. The ship had already lowered its sails and moved at the slowest speed. Only the helmsman and the lookout were still on their posts. Everyone else had begun their daily leisure time, sitting on the deck, blowing the sea breeze, talking about the stories that had been told many times but still excited them. The strong white wine made their minds dizzy, and the luxurious life when they were docking at the dock appeared in their minds, the glittering lights, and the pretty figure of the shaking woman...

At this time, a weak figure quietly crawled out from the shadow of the cargo box. The dizzy light shone a slightly vicissitudes of face. It was the traces left by time. It was Zhang San's wife. Her red dress became very conspicuous under the dizzy light, because the black deck made it even more dazzling. Zhang San's wife looked around. The boatmen were already drunk and hazy, and some were talking loudly, looking passionate, but tomorrow he no longer remembered what he had said. And some were snoring like thunder, lying on the deck like a dead pig.

She crawled to the drunk boatman not far away without hesitation. He was still talking in his sleep, as if calling someone's name, which was a prostitute in a restaurant near Haizhou Pier.

There were two plates on the deck beside the boatman, and half of the peanuts and half of the fish left in the plate. She fell quietly into the handkerchief that had been prepared, and then turned around to climb back. At this time, she found a shadow in front of her. She raised her head and saw Su An's cold face. Su An seemed very curious and surprised.

"Who is she? How did she get up?" Su An's mind was filled with questions. Before he could speak, he saw Zhang San's wife suddenly climbing up and running towards the port side. Su An instinctively reached out and grabbed her, and with a sneer, a piece of red cloth immediately appeared in his hand, but the woman had already run away. At this time, most of her back was exposed. She tried her best to cover her chest to prevent her clothes from falling off, looking extremely embarrassed.

But she didn't run far away but suddenly fell down and hit the ground with a bang, and the handkerchief in her hand flew out. Zhang San's wife got up dizzyly, but found that there was another person in front of her. She was a man with a beard, fierce face, naked upper body, and her bronze skin shone a faint luster under the light. The muscles in his body were bulging like knots, giving people a sense of violent power. Zhang San's wife thought she had hit the wall just now, but at this time it was definitely the person's body.

Although she was afraid, she still looked around, looking for a handkerchief with food. She found that the handkerchief was falling near the cargo box from afar, and had already spread out. The ground was covered with peanuts, and the half of the fish turned into pieces. The man with his upper body, who saw that Zhang San's wife did not move, stood there like a wooden pillar, and looked at Zhang San's wife with cold eyes.

Zhang San's wife suddenly became extremely nervous, and her eyes suddenly looked at the naked man with her upper body, to be precise, behind him. At this time, a little boy crawled out of the cracked wooden box. He looked at the half of the fish that had almost turned into meat paste and his eyes were squirming slightly, with longing and hope. But after watching for a moment, he never picked it up. Instead, he walked around the naked man with her upper body and walked straight towards Zhang San's wife, shouting: "Mom!"

Zhang San's wife trembled and hugged the boy in her arms, and said sadly: "Feng'er, why are you coming out? Didn't your mother tell you not to come out alone?" The little boy whispered: "I'm scared!" He didn't say that he was hungry but said that he was afraid of being alone, and he didn't want his mother to worry. But his stomach was gurgling unscrupulously.

"Are you hungry?" At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came to the side. The little boy looked up and saw that it was a middle-aged man in plain clothes. His expression looked very soft, which made people feel a sense of intimacy. The little boy nodded instead of answering. The middle-aged man seemed very satisfied and shouted: "Su An, bring some food to this child."

"I think there is still some food in the kitchen, so I'll get it now." Su An had returned to Sun Yi at some point, and he had already reacted almost when Sun Yi finished speaking. Wan Zhengcheng's figure appeared on the railings of the ship building, and his eyes suddenly became extremely quiet as he looked at the scene on the deck. Although Sun Yi was smart enough that ordinary people could not reach, he did not cause much danger to the plan he was implementing. Instead, the appearance of strange women and little boys made him feel the real danger.

He knew very well how strict management measures were taken by a huge caravan like Sun Yi. Every box of cargo on the ship was only on board after strict and multiple inspections. It was almost impossible for two people to avoid those inspections and get on board. However, in the face of such obvious mistakes or mistakes, Sun Yi was very calm. He did not punish anyone responsible for the freight, but treated the mother and son peacefully. No one knew what he was thinking at this time and what he would do next. Such a cunning attitude had reached a level of fear.

He couldn't help but look at his goods on starboard. The rain cloths were still covered tightly, but it seemed like a crack was cracked in his heart, without any bottom.

At this time, there was a fish and three steamed buns in front of the little boy. Instead of eating it himself, the little boy picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Zhang San’s wife, saying, “Mom, eat it!” The eyes of Zhang San’s wife had already rolled in tears. She could no longer tell whether it was because of the little boy’s sensibility or the danger he was facing at this time.

The little boy was eating steamed buns innocently, but his eyes kept lingering with the fish in the plate. He didn't do it because he was waiting to share it with his mother. Zhang San's wife was in a very heavy mood. She knew that huge caravans like Sun Yi had a deep background. They would not burn, kill, loot, but would never be ruthless to those who pose a threat to their business. Some famous merchants had major accidents inadvertently, and many times there were these huge caravans in secret. For those who stole their boats, they had an unwritten rule, throwing them in the sea and leaving, and those who were waiting for these people were only groups of sharks or drowning.

She knew all this clearly when she was secretly hiding in the wooden box with the little boy, but for the sake of the little boy's future, she had to take this risk. In her heart, the eyes of those people in the fishing village were even more dangerous and terrifying than sharks.

"Why do you come to the boat?" Sun Yi suddenly asked softly. Zhang San's wife cried and said, "We are from Zhangjia Village, Haizhou City. The child's father died, and the pier and fields were stolen again. We really couldn't stay in the fishing village. I thought of going to Dongzhou City to seek refuge with relatives, but I was penniless and had to think of this solution. I beg the shopkeeper to let us go and give me a way out!" Zhang San's wife knelt in front of Sun Yi with a plop.

"Do you know that our boat never pulls people who have nothing to do with business? As long as they come up, no one will go down safely!" Sun Yi sighed long. Zhang San's wife burst into tears, "I beg the shopkeeper to let the child go. He is still young and knows nothing." Sun Yi shook his head, "I don't like killing, but rules are rules after all. If everyone thinks about my boat coming, how can I do my business? How can I keep the safety of my entire fleet?"

"As long as the shopkeeper promises me not to kill this child, I will serve you as a cow or a horse in the next life." Zhang San's wife said earnestly, kowtowing to Sun Yi, and blood suddenly flowed on her forehead. Sun Yi's face looked pity. He withdrew his gaze and looked at Su An and the man with naked upper body.

Su An said, "I have seen this woman, and it seems to be Zhang San's wife in Zhangjia Village. I heard that someone fell in love with an important thing in the Zhang family. He actually killed both Zhang San and Zhang Er brothers, but Zhang Da disappeared. Their orphans and widows were left to live on the meager rent on the wharf."
