Jiqiu felt herself being roughly dragged, she frowned in pain, opened her eyes with difficulty, and found that she was in a very busy port, and the stout sailors moved the cargo on the ship to the shore.

She staggered and stood up, only to see clearly that the person holding her collar was a dark-skinned woman.

Jiqiu opened his mouth to say something, but just as he made a sound, his throat hurt.

'How long have I been without water? '

'If you don't drink any more water, you will die soon. '

Under the scorching sun, Jiqiu thought drowsily that she wanted to do something, but unfortunately she had no strength, so she could only let the strong woman drag her to the bottom of a boat.

The woman stepped forward and said something to the man who was supervising the sailors carrying the goods, pointing to Jiqiu who was spread on the ground from time to time.

Jiqiu's brain was spinning rapidly. Through the communication between the two people, she learned that she should be on a certain coast of Italy, and the man headed by him was the boatswain.

The bosun looked at the muddy "boy" on the ground, shook his head impatiently, and kept saying, "Too thin."

"It doesn't look healthy."

While the two of them were talking, Jiqiu quietly received the memories. Fortunately, this body was only ten years old, and she quickly sorted out the memories. She was surprised to find that this strong woman turned out to be the mother of this body. .

The little girl she possessed this time was named Simon Roche. The whole family depended on their father's fishing for a living. Mother Connie gave birth to ten children, and Simon was the sixth, the thinnest of all the children.

Three days ago, old Luo Xi injured his leg while fishing, so he could only recuperate at home. The family lost their source of income and had to rely on Connie to make ends meet.

Ten starving children could only eat one piece of black bread a day, and their bodies became weaker and weaker.

Connie could only make up her mind and choose to abandon her most unwanted child, that is, Simon, and package her as a boy and sell her to the bottom crew of the cargo ship.

Boatswain Paul was so worn out by Connie that he tried to push the woman away, but instead pushed himself down, "It doesn't matter, maybe this kid can be a Popeye like his mother." '

Paul lifted Jiqiu up, he squeezed Jiqiu's mouth open with his rough hands, smelled the taste of his mouth, "It's okay, maybe I just fainted from hunger. '

The sailors passing by stopped at the same time. If the sailor made a deal with a woman, then this kid might become one of them.

Connie looked anxiously at Paul checking Jiqiu's body, until he opened Jiqiu's eyelids, and his heart couldn't help but raise.

Paul looked at the golden eyes in front of him, and let go of his hand instantly. He finally knew why the woman chose to sell the child. A sailor like himself who had seen strong winds and waves was taken aback. Those eyes were too beast-like. Paul Can't help but associate it with the tiger the captain killed.

"Sir, his eyes are different from others, and there is nothing wrong with the rest." Connie said hastily.

"Totti, take your water bottle and fill him with some water!" Paul summoned the sailors who were watching.

Totti took off the water storage bag at his waist, pinched Jiqiu's cheeks with one hand, and poured water into it.

"Cough...cough cough." Jiqiu felt that her hot throat was moistened by the water, she slowly opened her eyes, and stared at the dark sailor in front of her indifferently.

Totti also saw the boy's eyes just now, even though he was prepared, his hands shook, "Hey, kid, don't look at me with your eyes."

Connie watched Totti pour fresh water into Jiqiu, and she breathed a sigh of relief, "Sir, are you planning to accept him?"

Paul took out the money bag, took out a few coins from the money the steward gave him to buy someone, and threw it to the woman, "Okay, you can go."

Connie took the money in a hurry, said thank you several times, and then trotted away, without giving a glance to Jiqiu who was sitting on the ground.

"What's your name?" Paul asked a child who looked like five or six years old, with rare pity in his heart.

But soon he suppressed it again. The death of sailors is very common in great voyages. What use is his sympathy for?

Jiqiu realized that her pupil color might be different from others, she lowered her eyes docilely, "My name is Simon, Simon? Rosie, sir."

"Listen, Totti will take you to freshen up, and then you will have the best meal you have ever had on board." Paul shouted, "I don't care how old you are, as long as you live Working on the boat all day long."

"Okay, sir." Jiqiu nodded her head slowly, and she followed behind Totti.

"Totti, what did you bring back!" the shirtless sailor shouted to Totti under the mast.

"Paul's new sailor, I'll take him to the kitchen for a full meal." Totti took off his hat and waved it. He took Jiqiu to the ship's kitchen, "Let me see what I can feed you?"

At last he selected a good piece of steak from the captain's mate's leftover steak and put it on his plate.

Jiqiu looked at the greasy lamb chops on the plate, she knew she had no choice, so she ate it up with nausea, and after she finished eating, her stomach let out a sound, "Gu~~"

"Aren't you full yet?" Totti found another piece of ham, cut a piece for Jiqiu, and ate a big piece himself, with a threatening tone, "If you tell others about this, I will Break your neck."

"Understood." Jiqiu replied vaguely with his mouth full of ham. She was enjoying delicacies from mountains and seas a few hours ago, but now she wants to cry because of a piece of ham.

Totti looked at Jiqiu, who was eating quickly but chewing finely, with a trace of suspicion on his face, "Are you really the fisherman's son?" He felt that a distinguished guest on the upper deck of a cruise ship was sitting in front of him.

Jiqiu's movements froze, and he swallowed the ham with a big gulp, with a little bit of meat smeared on his face, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing. Maybe I was wrong." Totti ate the captain's remaining calf inner row.

'It seems that even small people are not easy to fool. Jiqiu breathed a sigh of relief quietly, she was almost seen through by this keen sailor.

The emotion that belonged to Elvis Hyde was gone, but decades of demeanor were not so easily changed.

The last world has become a movie for her, but the skills she has learned can still be used.

Jiqiu has two plans, one is to become the captain, and the other is to redeem himself and go outside to make a living.

She believes that what she has learned at Eton and Cambridge, combined with her years in politics in England, is enough to change her situation.

Jiqiu learned to lick the gravy on the plate like Totti, and she waited quietly for the sailor to fill his stomach.

"I'll take you to the cabin, I hope you are as obedient as your mother said, so you can suffer less." Totti pinched his nose and said.

"Why do you say that, sir?" Jiqiu whispered to the grumpy-looking sailor in front of her, trying her best to appear humble.

Totti didn't know why when facing this black and skinny kid, he always had the illusion of facing those young masters. He said in a nasty voice, "Of course it's because there is Larry the villain in your cabin. He hates newcomers. Every newcomer comes After being bullied by him for a while before accepting, those who can’t bear it will run to our cabin, causing our cabin to be full of people.”

He immediately tugged Jiqiu's curly brown hair, "If Larry kicks you out, you go to the abandoned storage room and live with old Arthur, you are not allowed to come to our cabin, we will not welcome little monsters. "

Jiqiu was deaf to this harsh nickname. She waited for Totti to leave, and then went to the mirror to see what was wrong with her appearance. What she did now was to find out more about this man.

When Jiqiu heard that the villain Larry would strip people naked and throw them on the deck to freeze overnight, she had already made up her mind not to sleep in the Chase bunk.

Jiqiu came to the cabin where she was supposed to live, and there were four sailors her age at the door, standing up like a hill.

"This is a newcomer, find a place for him to sleep." Totti said calmly without fear.

Roshan moved his body, looked at a man with a bushy beard not far away, "Larry, there is a newcomer!"

Larry kicked off the wine bottle at his feet and walked down from the card table, "Paul's new gadget?"

Immediately, Jiqiu was forced to pinch his chin, and forcibly looked at the bearded man in front of him.

Larry looked into those rare eyes and spat, "Get this little monster out of the way, or I'll throw him into the sea and feed the sharks."

Jiqiu wiped off the stinky saliva on her face, her face was calm, forbearance is her special skill, just like she can carefully plan decades to promote the development of women's equal rights in England, "Where is old Arthur?"

"Hey, I would like to remind you that old Arthur has caught the wind and cold." Totti didn't bother to care about the episode in the cabin. He didn't expect the boy to be so stubborn, so he left the cabin directly, "If you beg me, maybe I will show mercy Let you sleep with me."

"Thank you for your kindness, please take me to the abandoned storage room." Jiqiu didn't care about Totti's surprise, she insisted on being with old Arthur.

Totti had no choice but to tell the location of the storage room, and told himself the location of the cabin by the way, "You have an afternoon to think about it."

After he finished his last instructions, he ran to pull the sails, and the ship set sail again.

Jiqiu leaned against the railing of the ship, adjusted to the shaking of the ship, and then walked to the abandoned storage room. She stopped in front of the door, pulled a piece of cloth from her loose linen clothes, and wrapped the lower half of it. face, opened the door and walked in.

She first noticed the old sailor with a beard and gray hair. At this time, he was curled up into a ball. Jiqiu walked forward slowly, bent down slightly and touched his neck, frowning, and then tried it His snort, the man is dead.

The sun was about to sink into the sea level, and the sound of seabirds twittered from the sky. Jiqiu poked his head out to observe the situation outside. The storage room was at the tail of the first floor of the ship, and it was easily flooded by the waves. The sailors were all on the second floor. There are activities on the deck, which means that there are almost no people here.

Jiqiu tried his best to drag out the old Arthur's body and push it into the sea. The destination of every sailor is the sea.

After dealing with old Arthur, she found an alcohol lamp in the storage room and smashed it to let the liquid flow out. She wiped the entire storage room with a dry rag.

Smelling the pungent smell of alcohol, Jiqiu finally stopped and sat on the sandbag to rest. She looked around the storage room of a few square meters, pushed aside a pile of miscellaneous things, and cleared out a place to sleep. .

She found a roll of damp newspaper as the first layer of her "bed", and Jiqiu patiently spread the newspaper all over the open space. She sat on the newspaper and picked up a newspaper to browse at the same time. She had to know which one it was. era.

'what. Jiqiu found that something was wrong with the newspaper in her hand. She didn't understand the words on the newspaper at all. She quickly changed a newspaper and read it again, but found that she still didn't recognize it.

After Jiqiu calmed down and thought about it slowly, he finally came to a conclusion that this body suffers from dyslexia.

She had to have someone gradually guide her to understand each letter and rearrange her own reading system before she could understand the text.
