Luo Qiao said calmly: "How long have I been married into the Lu family? I'm sure you have investigated everything. If the jade pendant is really as important as you say, can the Lu family let me know?"

The tattooed man stood up and laughed: "You are so brave, aren't you afraid that I will make you angry and throw you into the sea to feed the sharks?"

Luo Qiao did not say anything in reply. She just put the Walkman back into the storage space and replaced the tape with a new one. She would not waste the tape because of the meaningless words.

The tattooed man shouted outside the cabin, "Contact them and ask them to bring the things I want to exchange for her by noon tomorrow at the latest, otherwise don't blame me for letting this woman die in the sea."

"Yes, I'll do it right away."

The tattooed man said again: "Take the man down and keep an eye on him for me."

Luo Qiao was taken downstairs and sent to a tool room. Axes, hammers, wrenches, harpoons, fishing nets, life jackets, life rafts, and buckets of various sizes were placed everywhere in sight.

Luo Qiao found a place to sit down, thinking that the tattooed man might not be the real person behind the scenes. The aura on him did not seem like that of a superior. She thought about going out to investigate after dark.

She observed for a while and found that there was a window above the tool room. She stood up and moved a few buckets over from there, placed them upside down, and then placed another one on top, then stepped on it and took a look.

I saw that there was a food storage room over there. It was filled with food and drinks, including beer, liquor, fried peanuts, various canned foods, white flour, rice, noodles, and several barrels of oil, with some vegetables placed on the outside.

Luo Qiao took a look at the window, found a tool from below to remove the screws of the upper window, then carefully took down the cross-shaped iron frame on it, found a place to hide it, and then he closed his eyes and rested.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Qiao heard someone outside saying, "What are you doing with these?"

"Send some food to the prisoner."

"What are you sending me? Are you feeling itchy again? Don't cause trouble."

"What the hell are you thinking? Am I that kind of person? Big brother sent this over."

"Eat whatever you want. Just let her starve. That way we don't have to watch her. If she's starved for a few meals, she won't have the energy to run."

"That's true."

"By the way, where are we going?"

"I heard from my eldest brother that the boss asked us to sail to the high seas to pick up someone. This is not something we should worry about."

"I'll go get some wine, we brothers can drink here."

Then they heard someone enter the next room and quickly leave. The two of them started drinking outside and chatted with each other from time to time, which allowed Luo Qiao to put the whole thing together.

To pick someone up on the high seas means that someone has arrived on the high seas from somewhere else. Who is the person being picked up? Could he be the real person behind the scenes?

Luo Qiao thought that she couldn't act rashly and had to wait until they picked up the person. They probably thought that a woman like her couldn't cause any trouble, so they just locked her up without tying her up.

She stood up and locked the hatch from the inside, then entered the space. She cooked fish porridge for herself on the small stove and steamed a large pot of rice. Who knew how long she would stay here, so she prepared some more and stored it up, as she never knew when it might come in handy.

Then he scooped up a bucket of fish from the fish pond, processed them all and stewed them. Then he processed more than a dozen chickens, chopped them into pieces, rinsed them, and marinated them with seasonings for later use.

After the porridge was cooked, she was not in a hurry to put it in the warehouse to keep it fresh. She waited until she finished a bowl of porridge. At this time, the porridge in the pot was not so hot anymore. Then she put it in a basin and sent it to the warehouse, so as to avoid the porridge being too hot to eat when she drank it in a hurry.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Serve out the steamed rice and stewed fish, then stew the chicken. Clean up the kitchen, then serve out a portion of fish and a small bowl of rice, and put the rest into the warehouse.

After finishing the meal and cleaning up, he took a bath to wash off the smell of oil smoke on his body, changed into clothes of the same color but different style, washed the clothes he had taken off and hung them up, then left the space.

I thought I would wait until the clothes were dry before changing back to avoid anyone noticing.

Happy Mother's Day! ~~~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
