The small boat soon stopped beside a large ship. The strong flashlight on the ship was flashing, and a rope was thrown down from it, which was grabbed by Zhou Xiang.
Ling Ran put down his oars, took off his invisibility cloak, and shouted to the people above, "You are disobeying orders. This is not the high seas yet."
A few more ropes were thrown down from the boat, and this time, several people slid down from the ropes. Among them, three were people Zhou Xiang knew: Zhang Shanbiao, Li Han, and Ge Xin.
Zhang Shanbiao explained, "The crew predicted there would be storms tonight, and we were worried about your small boat entering the high seas, so we just came here."
Ling Ran didn't care about it anymore and nothing went wrong.
When Ge Xin saw Zhou Xiang, he immediately called out, "Sister-in-law."
Ling Ran had challenged him to a fight many times, and he never understood why he was targeted by the big devil. This time, after participating in the mission to rescue Ling Xiangxiang, no, Zhou Xiang, he understood.
Zhou Xiang quickly waved his hands, "Don't shout, just call me by my name, Zhou Xiang."
Ge Xin was afraid of being challenged to a fight. "Captain Ling has already reported the relationship. In our team, reporting a relationship is the same as getting engaged. There's no getting around it."
Ling Ran was dissatisfied, "You talk too much, hurry up and carry him up."
"yes."
It took more than half an hour for these people to carry all 24 people onto the big boat.
Then, the small boat was pulled onto the big ship by several people.
Finally, sitting down in the dining room of the big ship's cabin, Zhou Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. She was going home. More than ten days had passed since she was kidnapped, and she missed home very much.
The crew brought noodles to the two of them. Zhou Xiang was not very hungry, but Ling Ran had been eating fruits for a few days and was starving.
Seeing that she stopped eating after a few bites, he ate her bowl again, then patted his stomach and sighed, "I'm starving."
Zhou Xiang said guiltily, "I don't dare to get you food."
Ling Ran waved his hand and said, "The Ping family is very suspicious. Although your side may seem peaceful, there are actually people watching from afar. If it weren't for the invisibility cloak, we wouldn't be able to accomplish this so easily."
After that, Zhou Xiang stayed in the cabin while Ling Ran took care of things outside. She felt a little embarrassed in the face of those people's gratitude. Those people thanked her every time they saw her.
He was not surprised at all that they were brought out unconscious again, and even said that it was right to knock them unconscious, so that they would not be inflexible and cause trouble.
Moreover, after hearing about her life story, A Lian did not hug her mother and cry, but hugged herself and cried, making herself feel helpless.
Zhou Xiang, who was seeking some quiet time, heard someone knocking on his door and got up to open it.
Seeing that it was A-Lian and her biological mother, Zhou Xiang felt a little scared. "Stop hugging her and crying!"
Seeing her like that, A-Lian burst out laughing and said, "Don't be afraid if you cry again, I won't hold you anymore."
A-Lian's mother also smiled and said, "We are here, firstly to thank you for saving our lives, and secondly, I have a request."
Zhou Xiang felt her scalp tingling. Could she stop this aunt from speaking? Could she?
Facing those two pairs of pleading eyes, she nodded helplessly, "Auntie, please come in and tell me."
The mother and daughter were let into the room, and the three of them sat facing each other.
There were two single beds in the cabin. Zhou Xiang sat on one bed, and the mother and daughter sat opposite her.
A-Lian's mother took a deep breath before speaking, "I've been abducted for 18 years, and I still don't know what the situation is like at home.
At that time, I was pregnant because I had the final exams at school. In order not to make my husband worry, I hid the news from him and thought I would tell him after a few days of vacation.
It's been 18 years. Even if he would wait for me, my mother-in-law wouldn't allow it. Besides, A-Lian has completely R country habits and isn't fluent in the language. You can tell it's a R country accent the moment you hear her."
A-Lian's mother raised her hand and gently touched the top of A-Lian's head. A-Lian smiled and shook her head, feeling the tenderness.
"I brought A-Lian into this world for 17 years, and I've only brought her hardships. Now, we're reunited as mother and daughter. I don't want her to face uncertainty and uncertainty in a new country where she's unfamiliar with the place, and also the possibility of a messy family, and even more likely, suspicion that she's not..."
At this point, A-Lian's mother burst into tears. Although her daughter had suffered a lot, she was so innocent! She couldn't bear to let her face those rumors.
Zhou wanted to understand her thoughts. Her in-laws didn't know she was pregnant. She had been abducted for 18 years, and her child was 17 years old. In addition, A-Lian spoke with a Russian accent and was a girl. It would be strange if her grandmother's family would accept her.
A Lian's mother wiped away her tears, stood up, and was about to kneel down in front of Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang was so scared that he jumped up and held her.
"Auntie, if you need any help, just tell me. Don't kneel down to me. You know the traditions of our country. I will shorten my life."
A-Lian's mother was held up, and after hearing what she said, she sat back on the bed and wiped away her tears.
"I know my request is a bit excessive. You not only saved me, but also my daughter. I heard that you are a lecturer at Hua University and a genius, which is why you were abducted by the Heike clan. I think your family conditions should be good, right? A-Lian is very good at housework. First, how about letting her live in your house for a while?"
I'll go back first to solve my own problems, find a job and a place to live, then I'll go pick her up. Please, please, take care of her for a while. She's new to Longguo and needs someone to guide her. I can't take care of her for the time being. I, I can't find the right person.
I have been away from Dragon Country for too long and have been imprisoned for too long. I can no longer keep up with the times, and I don’t want to add to the burden on the country.
Besides, A-Lian is familiar with you and she likes you. I, I would rather she be your maid for the rest of her life than have to face her overbearing grandmother.
A-Lian's mother spoke incoherently and cried, and Zhou felt sad. She was a patriotic person and a great mother.
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Okay! Let her follow me, I will arrange a place for her to go, and I will take care of her as if she were my sister, A-Lian!"
"Hey! Girl."
"From now on, call me Sister Xiang, and you will be my sister."
"Think about it, sister?"
"Yes, it's the thought of missing."
A-Lian smiled happily, "Xiang Xiang, Mom asked me to follow you, right?"
"Yes! Follow me. When we return to Dragon Country, ask me if you have any questions."
A-Lian nodded repeatedly, "Okay! Okay! I'll still serve you."
Zhou Xiang leaned forward and took her hand, which was covered with calluses. "No need. From now on, we can do household chores together. You don't need to serve anyone else. You are a normal person. Forget all the habits you had in Country R and start learning the habits of Country Long again."
"Okay! I'll listen to what I have to say."
A Lian's mother felt both sad and sweet. The sad part was that her daughter was very close to Zhou Xiang, even closer to her than to her as a mother. The sweet part was that her daughter was really well-behaved and obedient.
Zhou Xiang stood up and opened the wardrobe beside the door, took out a large cloth bag and handed it to A Lian, "These are your things. I didn't know if there were any special things, so I brought them all out. You can choose for yourself. You can throw away the ones you don't want."
