The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Although Lu Qingqing didn't understand what they were saying, she knew from the expressions of the interpreter and Ying Chuan that things were not going well.

Normally, they come to redeem people.

The Japanese should at least bring out a few of the prisoners and let them see him.

But looking at those islanders, they have no intention of going back to bring people back.

Lu Qingqing held the railing and shifted her gaze to the island.

Not far from the pier, I saw a brick and stone wall. The high wall blocked the view of what was inside.

From Lu Qingqing's point of view, she could only see two tall lookout towers inside, standing on the east and west sides of the wall respectively.

She took out her telescope and saw that there were indeed Japanese people standing guard in the hole on the observation deck.

So, these islanders came so quickly, probably because they saw them from the lookout.

Lu Qingqing used the telescope again to carefully observe the situation on the island.

Apart from the high walls, there were no other man-made buildings.

In other words, Senior Brother Luo and the other refugees were most likely imprisoned inside.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingqing quickly observed the terrain near the dock.

This part of the pier is too flat, and looking from the observation deck, there is really no place to hide.

Apart from the pier, the north side is surrounded by steep and difficult rocks, and there is nothing else blocking the view.

Even if she climbed over this rocky area, she would be spotted by the lookout.

But if you go south, there is a dense forest.

Lu Qingqing took the telescope and stared at the dense forest again and again, but did not find anything unusual there.

Moreover, with dense forests blocking the view, the lookout tower is not very useful.

If there really was an accident, and she wanted to sneak in, the possibility of getting in from this place would be the greatest.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingqing went to the stern again and took a look at the spare boat tied there.

She has come to see me several times in the past few days.

We even simulated many times how to quickly untie the rope that tied the boat.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the boat, Lu Qingqing felt relieved and continued to return to the railing.

When she came back, she found that Yingchuan had already taken half of the people and was planning to return to the ship.

Soon, Ying Chuan led people to move four large boxes off the boat.

At the dock, the islanders opened the box and carefully examined the silver ingots inside.

After confirming that the silver was intact, several Japanese people lifted the box onto a wooden cart and pulled the silver back.

At this time, the remaining islanders were standing aside, waiting face to face with Yingchuan and his group.

Soon, the islanders drove a group of men with their arms tied with ropes towards this place.

The ankles of these men were also tied with ropes, and they couldn't take any bigger steps.

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang hurriedly looked at those people, but after looking for a long time, they didn't find any fellow disciples among them.

When those people came closer, Ying Chuan looked at these refugees with a deeply frown.

He spoke a few words to the interpreter, asking them why they did not release the Ming soldiers agreed upon by both parties.

After the interpreter translated the content, the Japanese man spoke in gibberish.

The interpreter translated it with a grim expression.

It turned out that the islanders were worried.

They were afraid that if they accepted the soldiers first, they would abandon the refugees behind them and stop trading.

In their eyes, those refugees were not as valuable as soldiers.

Apart from anything else, the weapons and equipment of those soldiers seemed quite good to them.

I think it was a high standard even in the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the fact that the ship is willing to come over proves that their guess is correct.

These soldiers are indeed very important to the Ming Dynasty.

In their eyes, these refugees are the cheapest slaves.

These refugees were so skinny that they could not be sold at a high price even if they were sold to the lords.

Moreover, there were already many slaves in their own country.

If so many slaves were released, the price would probably be even cheaper.

Therefore, these islanders did not release the soldiers as agreed, but released the refugees first.

What they had agreed upon before was that a batch of silver would be exchanged for a group of people.

In order to get the amount of silver they wanted, they deliberately left the soldiers to be exchanged last.

Seeing Yingchuan's unhappy expression, the leader of the islanders quickly made a promise.

As long as they are given enough money, they will release all the soldiers.

When Ying Chuan heard this, his face looked ugly, but he forced himself to hold it back.

Their current situation is really not suitable for going to war.

Moreover, this time I came here.

The purpose is to bring the soldiers of the Thor Special Forces and the refugees on these large ships back safely.

As for the accounts with these islanders, we will settle them later!

He suppressed his anger, waved his hand, and told his men to continue moving the silver onto the ship.

The remaining soldiers began to untie the ropes for the refugees.

When the released refugees saw the familiar Ming people, they knew they were rescued.

After being untied, many people staggered towards the ship.

Seeing this, the soldiers rushed forward to maintain order.

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang stood on the boat, holding the railing and watching the situation below.

Seeing that these refugees were rescued, they anxiously waited for their brothers to come out.

If the Japanese could really release the people as they said.

This time, she didn't plan to take the risk of going to the island alone.

After all, if he really ended up on this small broken island.

With only her and Qin Lang, two new crew members who are as new as they can be, it is unknown when they can return to Ming Dynasty.

If they ran in the wrong direction and ended up on other continents, it would be hard to say when they could return.

Master, mistress, and their relatives and friends are still waiting for them in Baoshan Town!

However, this account will not be settled just like that.

Whenever King Huai is going to attack this little broken island, she will definitely follow him.
