Shrouded Seascape

Chapter 57: Margaret

Views:

Margaret was awakened by the cold. She opened her eyes with disheveled hair and looked around, only to find that nothing had changed and she was still on the unfamiliar deck.

On the glass of the ship's deck, a guy covered in bandages was steering the ship. When she saw the man's face, she shuddered with fear. It was that guy who bought them.

She originally thought that she had completely escaped from hell and could finally go home, but she found out that the man bought them for sacrifice. If their captain had not come back on his own, she might have been sunk to the bottom of the sea by now.

My father was right, there is no good person on the sea, they don’t have any laws in their minds and treat human lives no differently than they treat fish.

"Father, where are you? Please save me. As long as you can save me, I promise to stay on the island and never go out for the rest of my life." Thinking of this, Margaret shed tears sadly.

Just then, she heard a noise, the sailors began to wash the deck, and their voices came into her ears.

"Are we going to leave these guys here forever? Slavery is not allowed on the coral island, so why should we bring them back? We might as well just throw them into the sea."

Hearing this, the slaves all huddled together in fear.

"The first mate bought it with his own money. It's his stuff. How dare you throw it away?"

"Alas, how dare I do that? Now, apart from the captain, who else would dare to provoke him? If he gets upset, he might just sacrifice me."

"Stop talking nonsense. Don't you see he's at the helm? If he hears you, you'll be in big trouble."

Watching the sailors' boots slowly approaching, Margaret quickly hid her head in the dirty sack.

"Bang!" The wet mop hit the slaves directly. "Are you all blind? Can't you see that I'm mopping the floor? Get out of here and go to the other side."

The slaves who were huddled at the bow stood up one after another and ran towards the deck like rats.

Margaret stood up and was about to follow the other slaves when a tall sailor stopped her curiously. He pinched her chin with his thick fingers and lifted it up.

"Look, this female slave is pretty good looking."

Seeing the three sailors surrounding her, Margaret began to tremble all over. Her eyes were filled with fear and she tried to hide backwards, but there was the edge of the ship behind her and there was nowhere to hide.

A bucket of water was poured over, washing the mud off Margaret's face.

Milky white skin, delicate and small face, and big eyes with long eyelashes

Seeing Margaret's covered face, the sailors' breathing suddenly became rapid. This mission lasted too long and they were holding their breath for too long.

Being constantly scanned by three pairs of aggressive gazes, the terrified Margaret cried and struggled desperately. She had seen what happened to other girls in Sodom.

"Get out of here!! I'm the daughter of Governor He Fang!! You can't do this to me!! Father, help me!! Wuuwuwu!!"

"What are you doing?" A tired voice came from behind. The three sailors who had gathered around shuddered and quickly picked up the mops on the ground and stood in a row. "Captain! We are cleaning the deck!"

"Why are there slaves on my ship?"

"Captain, these are all bought by the first mate 4000 Echoes each, and they are intended to be used as sacrifices to save you!"

Margaret saw the person coming. He was a black-haired young man in a dark blue captain's uniform. A diagonal scar on his face added a hint of ferocity to his face.

Seeing the trembling sailors beside her, Margaret rushed to the young man with tears in her eyes. "Save me, I want to go home, I will never come to the sea again!!"

Before Margaret could finish her words, she immediately felt an invisible mass wrapping around her and pushing her to the ground.

Margaret was struggling to sit up when she bumped into the young man. Looking at the face so close to her, Margaret suddenly felt something in her heart.

"You said you are the daughter of the Governor of Hefang Island? Do you have any evidence?"

The young man's words awakened Margaret, and she hurriedly took out a fish bone from her arms. "This is what my father gave me. If you give it to him, he will know that I am here."

Watching the young man take it, Margaret waited anxiously, her life and death all depended on the other person's thoughts.

Frightened by this scene, Margaret hugged herself with her hands and bit her lips tightly.

"How did you escape?" The sudden question startled Margaret.

"I was captured and locked up for a long time, but one night, a sister saved me. I didn't know who she was. She wore the same clothes as me and turned into my appearance."

As soon as Margaret finished speaking, she saw the young man frowning slightly, as if he was recalling something.

She begged again, "Sir, can you let me go back? If you send me back, my father will give you a generous reward."

"Okay, that's what I've been waiting for. Now we have the funds for the adventure."

Without Margaret being able to figure it out, she was sent to be washed with water and changed into a loose-fitting dress.

When she came out of the bathroom, her original appearance was revealed, and she clearly felt the darkness in the eyes of the men on the boat.

Margaret instinctively quickened her pace and returned to the young man. No matter how cold he was, she felt at ease as long as she stayed with him.

"Can you write?"

"meeting… "

"Very well, write a letter to your father."

Margaret just started to show joy on her face, thinking that she had met a good person, but the second half of the young man's words startled her.

"Just say that a kind-hearted person saved you, and you promised to give me a reward of 5 million yuan to thank me."

Margaret took the pen and began to write. No matter what, she could go home, back to that bright place again.

After Margaret finished writing, she handed it respectfully to the young man in front of her. When she heard the young man ask her to leave, Margaret instinctively felt a little scared.

"Sir... can I stay with you?" She didn't know who this young man was, but she felt very safe staying with him.

At this moment, Margaret heard her stomach protesting, "gurgling". Looking at the young man's gaze, she blushed and lowered her head.

Sitting in the cafeteria, facing all kinds of simple food, Margaret almost cried while eating. She hadn't felt so full since she was arrested.

Margaret suddenly thought of something and glanced at the young man who was eating next to her. She took some bread from the plate and secretly stuffed it into her pocket.

After dinner, Margaret sneaked onto the deck and quickly took out all kinds of food from the bag. The hungry slaves scrambled for them frantically.

Don't expect the sailors to give them good food before, it's good enough that they are still alive.

"Why did you give them food?" A voice suddenly appeared behind her. She quickly turned around and saw the captain.

"Because being hungry is very uncomfortable. I am full, but they are still hungry."

"You ask your father to give you some more money, and I can let them all eat better."

"Really? Sir, you are such a good person." Margaret jumped over excitedly.

"Good guy? Haha, maybe."

Just as Margaret was secretly rejoicing that no one would go hungry anymore, she suddenly saw a light appear on the sea.

The light spot approached quickly. It was a large ship nearly 100 meters long with a huge white triangle painted on the hull.
