Quick Wear Dream Qiqi
Chapter 138 Little Pearl Diver 2
After Meng Qiqi prepared the simple work tools on the workbench, she returned to the original owner's room, or rather the main room, and looked around from the door.
When she walked into the room, her first impression was chaos. Various items were placed randomly, making her feel very uncomfortable.
The corners of the room were filled with clutter, making the originally spacious space seem crowded, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air.
Meng Qiqi thought, fortunately the original owner's bed looked relatively tidy, at least it allowed her to temporarily put aside the slight sense of unnaturalness in her heart.
After making the bed, clean off the dust and debris, and then put on similar clean bedding taken out from the space.
In this way, others will not become suspicious, and she can also have a relatively comfortable place to rest. During this period of time, she can only adapt to life here.
He started to clean up, first lifting the sheets, sweeping the bed with a broom, and then carefully wiping the bed frame and railings.
Then she took out a set of clean bedding from her bag, spread it out, and folded it neatly at the head of the bed.
After finishing all this, Meng Qiqi stood by the bed and looked at the fruits of her labor with satisfaction.
Although the whole room was still messy, at least this little world that belonged to her had become a little tidier and warmer.
The next morning, Meng Qiqi got up early with the others, put on waterproof clothes inside, and the original owner's coarse cotton clothes outside, preparing to go to the beach to collect pearls.
She was not the only one who entered the sea, there were also many pearl divers.
With tools in hand, they carefully jumped into the cold sea water and began a day of searching for clam shells and collecting pearls.
Dive to the bottom of the sea and carefully look for traces of pearl oysters.
Despite being underwater, Meng Qiqi remained calm and focused, avoiding being harmed by marine life.
After finding the pearl oyster, Meng Qiqi gently opened the shell with a knife and took out the pearl inside.
She carefully selected each pearl, and put the high-quality pearls into the space. She had to hand over the defective pearls to the person in charge of the pearl farm.
After collecting almost all the pearls, Meng Qiqi returned to the shore, cleaned the pearls in a secluded corner and put them into the pocket around her waist.
These pearls will be taken to the market by the person in charge to sell, or made into jewelry for sale.
In the evening, after these pearl divers returned to the pearl diving grounds, the leader called a few women to check.
One of the women walked up to Meng Qiqi indifferently and reached out to touch her body without any hesitation.
She first checked Meng Qiqi's pockets, then lifted her sleeves and skirt, and even squatted down to check her shoes and socks.
Meng Qiqi gritted her teeth, suppressed the discomfort in her heart, and allowed the person in charge to search.
If you resist or show dissatisfaction now, it will only cause more trouble.
The woman carefully checked every possible place where the pearls might be hidden, even her hair.
Finally, she stood up and stared at Meng Qiqi sternly.
"We didn't find anything," the woman said, a hint of doubt in her tone.
"If I find out that you are hiding any pearls, you will bear the consequences!" The person in charge said viciously and turned to leave the scene.
Chen Xiaoxiao watched this scene from the side and angrily said to Meng Qiqi, "This is clearly a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for us! We work so hard every day to go to the sea to collect pearls, and yet we are subjected to body searches like this. They simply don't treat us as human beings!"
Meng Qiqi nodded helplessly, she knew that resistance was useless.
"But don't they know that we have hidden pearls? Why don't they always believe us?" Chen Xiaoxiao complained.
Chen Xiaoxiao felt sad after she finished speaking. She thought of her family and wondered how they were doing now.
She secretly vowed to save enough money as soon as possible and escape from this place.
Seeing this, Meng Qiqi comforted her and said, "Don't be sad, we just have to be patient. One day we will be able to get rid of this kind of life."
She encouraged Chen Xiaoxiao and hoped that she could live the life she wanted in the future.
Then, the two of them followed the other pearl-diving slaves silently, waiting to receive their own share of steamed buns.
When it was finally their turn, the person in charge of distributing food impatiently threw two black steamed buns to them.
Chen Xiaoxiao carefully took the steamed bun and held it in her hand with care.
Although these steamed buns were hard and cold, they were a rare delicacy for her who was hungry.
The two found a quiet corner, squatted down and prepared to enjoy this simple meal.
Chen Xiaoxiao nibbled on the steamed bun, her eyes revealing determination and resolve.
"We must find a way to leave here. We can't endure this kind of life anymore." Chen Xiaoxiao said softly.
Meng Qiqi squatted beside them and nodded: "Well, we need to plan it carefully. But before that, we still need to fill our stomachs and conserve our energy."
Meng Qiqi was eating steamed buns while thinking about her future.
On the other side, Lin Xixi saw Meng Qiqi and Chen Xiaoxiao walk to an empty corner after receiving the food.
Lin Xixi looked at Meng Qiqi, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.
She felt that Meng Qiqi had a unique temperament, which was different from that of other pearl-digging slaves and seemed particularly noble.
Lin Xixi couldn't help but wonder about Meng Qiqi's past, how she came to this place, and whether she had any unique experiences.
Just as Lin Xixi was thinking, a gust of wind blew and blew Meng Qiqi's hair.
Her beauty was even more charming in the wind. Lin Xixi was so stunned that she even forgot to move.
It was not until Meng Qiqi noticed her gaze and looked back that Lin Xixi came to her senses. Her face turned slightly red and she hurriedly turned and left.
She wondered who this girl was and why she felt so special.
Meng Qiqi felt very confused as she watched the heroine Lin Xixi hurriedly leaving.
She turned to Chen Xiaoxiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, do you think Lin Xixi is a little strange? Why did she blush all of a sudden?"
Chen Xiaoxiao shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
"Maybe she's shy."
Meng Qiqi nodded thoughtfully, but her heart was still full of questions about the inexplicable look in Lin Xixi's eyes when she saw her.
Next time I have time, I will find a chance to talk to Lin Xixi and find out what she has noticed about me?
Moreover, she actually had an inexplicable liking for Lin Xixi.
After all, in this unfamiliar environment, one more friend means one more strength.
The key to her and Chen Xiaoxiao's departure from the pearl farm might lie with Lin Xixi.
