"Lele, Lele, where are you, Lele?"
The anxious voice grew louder as it approached, causing the two men talking on the deck to fall silent simultaneously.
They exchanged glances before turning to look in the direction from which the sound came.
A boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in slightly worn clothes, with a very handsome figure, walked over.
At this moment, the boy came over anxiously, his eyes searching around for something.
A kind-looking man approached and greeted him warmly, "Young comrade, are you looking for someone?"
There's no one else on this deck except for the two of us brothers. Are you sure you're not going the wrong way?
Liu Shihua looked at the uncle in front of her with some surprise, said "Ah", and then shook her head, "I have looked in other places, but I have not found him."
My sister said she wanted to get some fresh air on the deck, but she never went back.
The ship's announcement just said that we are about to reach the most dangerous area, and passengers are advised not to move around unnecessarily.
He remembered that his sister had not yet returned, so he hurriedly went out to look for her, but he couldn't find her; all that was left was the deck!
Upon hearing this, the two men exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing unreadable emotions.
"Oh, is that so? Then we'll help you look for it too."
The boat is about to reach the most turbulent part of the river; we must find them quickly, otherwise it's too dangerous out there.
The honest-looking man spoke, and before the boy could reply, he went straight to search on the deck.
Actually, the deck was quite spacious; otherwise, they wouldn't have come outside to talk.
Upon hearing the boy's words, their hearts skipped a beat.
If someone was hiding somewhere on this deck, could they have overheard their conversation?
if……
Upon hearing this, Liu Shihua glanced at the towering, steep, and precipitous mountains on both banks, and then at the turbulent river colliding with the boats, becoming even more anxious.
He thanked the two men gratefully and began to carefully search for his sister on the deck.
What if he loses his sister on his first long trip?
At this moment, the little girl, who looked malnourished and was huddled behind a wooden barrel, looked up at the sky helplessly.
She had been staying in this blind spot, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river.
As a result, she overheard some incredible things.
Originally, she planned to return to her cabin after the two men left, but plans change quickly.
Considering the distance between her and the two people, she simply closed her eyes.
I don't know if this will be enough to get away with it.
Whether it was good luck or something else, after searching for a while, Liu Shihua found his sister behind the wooden barrel.
"Lele, Lele, what's wrong with you? Don't scare your second brother!"
My younger sister has never been very healthy since she was a child. She was sick again a while ago, and now she's been traveling a long way. Could she be sick again?
He shook his sister's hand, but seeing that she didn't wake up, his eyes immediately welled up with tears.
What should he do if something happens to his sister?
Upon hearing his voice, the two men who were helping to find him also came over.
When they saw the pale, emaciated, and yellow-haired little girl who had fallen into a deep sleep, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Given her appearance, she probably didn't hear their conversation, right?
The two exchanged a glance, and the wariness in their eyes lessened somewhat.
At this moment, the little girl frowned slightly, as if she was very uncomfortable from being pushed, and opened her eyes blankly.
She rubbed her eyes and yawned widely before whispering, "Second Brother?"
When she saw her younger sister wake up, Liu Shihua almost burst into tears of joy.
This time, it was just the two of them, brother and sister, going out alone, and they didn't have much money on them.
He doesn't know what to do if his sister gets sick!
"It's Second Brother, it's Second Brother! Lele, you scared your Second Brother to death!"
Seeing you so unconscious just now, I thought, I thought you…
He ultimately didn't say, "I thought something bad had happened to you," because he was afraid that if he did, it would become a reality.
"Little girl, you really scared your brother."
The middle-aged man, who looked honest and kind, said with a simple, honest smile.
"Of course! You're quite carefree, little girl, to actually fall asleep on the deck. Aren't you afraid the ship might lose its balance and throw you off?"
Another lean man smiled and squinted as he sized up the girl.
He had assumed it was just a young, blonde girl who was asleep and wouldn't be able to hear his conversation with the myna bird.
But when she opened her eyes, her bright and shining gaze made his eyelids twitch.
"Oh no, will this boat throw people out? That's terrifying! Second brother, second brother, let's go back quickly, I'm scared."
Upon hearing this, the little girl instinctively grabbed her second brother tightly, her face showing lingering fear.
"Okay, okay, we'll go back now, we'll go back now. Don't be afraid, Lele, everything's alright."
Liu Shihua comforted her sister before thanking the two of them.
He was somewhat displeased because the thin man's words had frightened his sister, and his thanks were rather cold.
Then he helped his sister to her feet and led her into the cabin.
"Myna bird, that little girl..."
The lean man watched the brother and sister disappear from sight, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"She should be fine, but just in case, send someone to keep an eye on her."
The middle-aged man with an honest-looking face said calmly.
He had just checked the distance between here and their previous conversation. Even if the girl wasn't asleep, she shouldn't have been able to hear their conversation due to the distance and the sound of the wind and waves.
But there's always a chance of something going wrong. What if she heard it?
Therefore, he added, "If you find anything wrong with her, you must act decisively."
Our mission this time is very important, and we must ensure that everything goes perfectly, you understand?
The lean man nodded. "I understand, Brother Ba. I'll go and make the arrangements right away. Don't worry."
The middle-aged man, who looked honest and kind, nodded without saying anything more, and then went into the cabin.
Liu Shile, who had already gone quite far, covered her eyes, preventing anyone from seeing the coldness in them.
Ever since her misplaced kindness led to her and the farm self-destructing, she decided to stop meddling in other people's business when she woke up in this world.
Therefore, despite overhearing the conversation between the two men on deck, she had no intention of getting involved.
Unfortunately, plans can't keep up with changes. My second brother was worried about me and went to look for me, but in doing so, he exposed me.
She originally thought that pretending to be asleep would avoid this trouble.
But now it seems she had oversimplified things.
What they're doing is no simple matter; if word gets out, all their efforts will be in vain.
Now, however, they might have overheard it. If they don't send someone to keep an eye on them, they'll probably feel uneasy.
Hopefully they'll behave themselves and stop bothering her and her brother, otherwise, she wouldn't hesitate to teach them a lesson!
Although the original owner of this body was a little weak, didn't she just show up?
