"A Bao!"
Suddenly, a soft cry rang out, and a Dan tribeswoman picked up the red figure.
It turned out to be a little girl, with fair, rosy skin like carved jade and snow. A strip of red felt cloth was wrapped around her head, and a silver belt was tied around her waist.
At that moment, she was staring at the strangers with large, bright, jet-black eyes, sizing them up curiously.
Zhong Shenxiu could not help revealing a trace of a smile at the sight.
When A Bao saw him smile, she also gave him a sweet smile. Unfortunately, she was missing several front teeth, making her look extremely comical...
"How come I haven't seen Uncle Hai?"
After finishing his meal, Zhong Shenxiu sought out Old Uncle Mai and asked, seemingly out of curiosity.
"The shipmaster was feeling unwell just now and is resting in the captain's cabin..."
Old Uncle Mai smiled. "Is there something else you want to ask? Like why our ship has women and children aboard?"
"That... should be a custom of the Dan tribe, right?"
Zhong Shenxiu scratched his scalp. "I do have some strength, after all. I can't just eat for free. Is there any sailor's work you can give me?"
As if casually, he glanced beyond the deck again. "Why has the ship stopped?"
This was clearly still the area where Fang Lang had encountered the waves.
"The shipmaster said that saving a life brings boundless merit, so we're stopping here for a while to see if there's anyone still breathing. We'll also collect the bodies while we're at it..."
At the end, Old Uncle Mai rubbed his fingers together and gave him a knowing look.
Compared to fishing for seafood, some of the luggage and cargo chests floating here might be worth
