Chapter 143 Listening to the Opera
Chapter 143 Listening to the Opera
Negro slaves.
Jiang Wang walked towards the room.
Suddenly someone blocked his way.
"Master Jiang, these slaves are of low status and will offend your eyes. Today is your birthday, so please don't..."
Jiang Wang frowned slightly, his eyes swept coldly over the person blocking his way, and his tone was firm and indifferent, "Get out of the way."
Seeing Jiang Wang's firm attitude, the man didn't dare to say anything more and had to step aside to make way.
On this ship, Jiang Wang is the one person he cannot afford to offend.
Jiang Wang continued to move forward.
He opened the door and stepped into the dim room.
The room was filled with a damp and musty smell. In the corner, several figures were huddled together, their eyes filled with fear and anxiety.
"Please, save us."
The man on the other end had his hands tied.
But when he saw Jiang Wang, he still couldn't help but want to ask for help.
After all, being sent to that kind of place means you can only wait to die.
But if... Jiang Wang is willing to help them, then there is a glimmer of hope.
The pair of eyes were tinged with sadness as they swept over the group of people in front of them. The man on the side spoke.
"They are all gamblers. Even if Young Master Jiang rescues them today, they will continue to gamble after they get out. There is no turning back..."
"You say it yourself!"
The slaves looked at each other, and finally an older man stood up and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes."
Jiang Wang walked out.
This kind of thing.
He can't control it.
At this moment, in a closed box, the girl's mouth was covered by someone's hand. "If you scream again, I will kill you."
Jiang Zhi's entire body was held down by the man's arms.
Unable to move.
She failed.
There was an indescribable despair in those eyes.
Jiang Wang's back disappeared at the end of the dim corridor, with complex emotions surging in his heart.
He knew that he could not change the fate of these people, but his inner sense of justice made him unable to turn a blind eye to the suffering before him. He stopped on the deck, looking at the rough sea, and secretly made up his mind.
"Young Master Jiang, what are you doing..." A voice interrupted his thoughts.
Jiang Wang turned around and saw the ship's first mate, an experienced old sailor.
Wearing this uniform, he walked towards Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang glanced at the person who came.
"How far is Yicheng from here?" he asked directly.
The first mate hesitated, then whispered, "...probably another day."
Jiang Wang frowned, he knew what that meant.
The working conditions in Yicheng area were poor and the mortality rate was extremely high. The fate of these black slaves was almost equivalent to being sentenced to life imprisonment.
Some of the better looking ones will eventually be...
"Is it possible to set them free?" There was a hint of hope in Jiang Wang's voice.
The first mate shook his head. "Master, this is the captain's order, and it's part of the business. I... I can't do anything about it."
"I see."
He went to his lounge.
Jiang Wang sat on a chair in the lounge, staring silently at the sea outside the window.
Negro slaves.
He always felt familiar with them.
Could it be that he was once... one of them?
He couldn't recall a single thing about those distant historical memories.
But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there seemed to be too many secrets hidden there.
"Go check, has Madam been to Yicheng again?"
"Yicheng?" The man on the other end was stunned for a few seconds, "That's not a black slave..."
The black slaves in Yicheng are almost known to everyone.
Many people had no status and were sold into the black market and eventually ended up in the Yicheng slave market.
Another possibility is that they have lost their human rights or signed some agreements, like the people on the ship.
"Master, the black slaves in Yicheng all have obvious tattoos, almost all of which are carved on their faces. This is to... prevent them from escaping."
Jiang Wang subconsciously touched his cheek.
However, the face was extremely smooth and there was nothing unusual to see.
"Go check it out. I need the answer tonight."
"Yes."
knock!
There was a knock on the door.
"Master Jiang."
Jiang Wang walked over and opened the door. "What's going on?"
"Tonight isn't over yet! Why are you here alone?"
"I'm not interested. I'm a little tired."
"I heard you like to sleep to the sound of music, so I specially asked someone to prepare some opera. The sound is absolutely first-rate..."
Jiang Wang really couldn't sleep.
He suffers from severe insomnia.
"Let's go!"
My mind is a little messy.
At this moment.
It needs some voice to soothe it.
Noisy environment.
At this time, Mu Guiying Takes Command was being performed on the stage.
Jiang Wang had no interest in these characters.
But at this age, it is a bit strange to like listening to opera.
……
Jiang Zhi was thrown into a new room. The environment was much better than before.
She was also tied up.
She struggled, but couldn't get up.
Just now she heard people talking about how they would arrive in Yicheng in a day, and once they got there, everything would be hopeless.
So, she had to leave before that.
But after struggling for a while, there was nothing I could do.
From time to time, she heard a voice coming from the other end.
Mu Guiying is in charge.
When he was young, Jiang Wang liked to listen to operas, and his favorite was "Mu Guiying Takes Command".
Jiang Zhi's thoughts drifted away with the melody of the opera, and she recalled the time when she listened to opera with Jiang Wang when she was young.
At that time, Jiang Wang was still a carefree boy with a strong interest in opera.
He said that even in desperate situations, he should be like Mu Guiying, unyielding and look for a glimmer of hope.
She was thinking of Jiang Wang.
My determination to survive grew stronger and stronger.
She must get out of here.
"What should I do? The one behind..."
"What did you say? She didn't get on the boat and ran away?"
"..."
"Where can I find someone who knows opera at this time? Do you know who Jiang Wang is?"
"Uncle Lin, don't we just try to save the situation now?"
"..."
Jiang Zhi listened to the voice, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Help……"
She yelled towards the door.
After spending the past two days with this group of people, Jiang Zhi basically knew what they were doing at each time period.
They should be having dinner by now, so the people outside are her only chance.
Lin Sheng listened to the voice on the other end.
There was a knock on the door at this time.
They are here this time.
Be cautious everywhere.
"Uncle Lin, please don't knock on the door randomly."
"I heard someone inside shouting for help." Lin Sheng was very brave. At this moment, he continued to knock.
"Help!"
Although Jiang Zhi's voice was weak, it echoed in the empty corridor. She knew this might be her last chance.
She screamed for help over and over again with all her might until her throat was almost torn.
Finally, footsteps were heard outside the door, the door was pushed open suddenly, and a figure appeared at the door.
"Girl, what are you..."
