Chapter 217 Half an hour, come out by yourself at the appointed time
The afterglow of the setting sun, like the stingy brushstrokes of an old painter, struggled to penetrate the thick clouds and sprinkled on the dilapidated fishing boat, adding a faint, imperceptible golden color to the ship tightly wrapped in darkness and stench.
Shen Qianhe curled up in a dark corner of the cabin with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed.
Her body was weak and powerless due to long-term imprisonment, and her mind was eroded by endless fear and despair.
Suddenly, a heavy sound of footsteps broke the silence in the cabin, and the cabin door was roughly pushed open by a powerful force, making a harsh sound.
Two thin, dark men appeared at the door.
Without any extra words, they grabbed Shen Qianhe's arms on the left and right and dragged her out of the dark, damp, hellish environment.
The moment he stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck, a fresh sea breeze blew towards him, carrying the salty smell of sea water and the breath of freedom, instantly penetrating into every pore of Shen Qianhe, dispelling the heaviness and fatigue that had accumulated for a long time.
She suddenly opened her mouth and took a deep breath of the long-lost fresh air.
The deck swayed slightly under my feet, and the waves gently hit the side of the ship, making a quiet and long sound.
The two men, one in front and one behind, took Shen Qianhe and walked towards the dock along the shaking plastic board.
Although Shen Qianhe's steps were staggering, she looked around, her eyes fixed on the man in black leather jacket on the shore.
His figure looked particularly tall in the afterglow of the setting sun.
As the distance got closer, Shen Qianhe finally saw the man's face clearly.
A picture quickly flashed through her mind!
She recalled that this man also appeared when she first met her father Xiao Chengzhou.
Although they didn't meet again many times after that, she knew a few things about him from her brother Xiao Heng.
He is my father’s confidant, his name is…Thirteen Knives.
Shisandao and Shen Qianhe's eyes met briefly in the air. At that moment, a hint of sharpness and alertness flashed in Shen Qianhe's eyes.
She quickly transformed this brief contact into an accurate analysis of the situation, and the expression on her little face became complex and profound.
She came to the conclusion almost instantly.
This Thirteen Blades is most likely a betrayal!
The security in the sanatorium is so tight that ordinary people have no chance to do it, except for those around them...
Thinking of this, Shen Qianhe's body tensed up unconsciously, but she quickly regained her composure.
She took a step forward, pretending to walk forward as if nothing had happened, but her heart was already surging like a raging sea.
After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped.
The man behind her was obviously dissatisfied with her sudden pause. He rudely stretched out his hand and pushed Shen Qianhe hard, with obvious impatience and threats in his voice: "Go! What are you dawdling for! Don't waste time!"
Shen Qianhe took advantage of the situation and swung her arm, deftly avoiding the man's touch. At the same time, she turned around, stared at Shisandao not far away, and said, "Where is the toilet? I need to go to the toilet!"
Her tone was firm and calm, without any panic.
Seeing this, the two men next to him couldn't help but whistle, with frivolous smiles on their faces and muttering in an incomprehensible dialect.
But looking at their expressions, Shen Qianhe knew without hesitation that they would not be able to produce any ivory.
Shisandao raised his hand slightly and shook it, signaling the two men to be quiet.
One of the men pointed to a small white room on the boat behind him and said in a clumsy Mandarin:
"There is a vegetable toilet in this hot pot place."
Shen Qianhe's heart tightened, and he quickly trotted in the direction the man indicated.
The moment I pushed open the door, an indescribable mixture of stench and tobacco smell suddenly hit me in the face, so strong that it almost suffocated me.
Shen Qianhe's pupils dilated instantly and his brows furrowed.
She covered her mouth and nose reflexively, her face turned pale, and the corners of her mouth twitched, as if she would burst out at any time.
The smell is not only pungent, but also irritating to the eyes.
In fact, for a moment, she wanted to turn around and leave.
After all, she was a delicate young lady who grew up in wealth. Even though she suffered a lot during those years abroad, it was not to this extent.
But people have three urgent needs. No matter how bad the toilet conditions are, it is much better than that big white bucket.
Hey......
What else can I do...
Shen Qianhe gritted his teeth, stuck his head out of the door, took a deep breath, and then quickly held his breath. A look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he moved inside carefully.
The toilet on the fishing boat is small and extremely simple.
There was an isolated toilet inside, and a roll of slightly dirty toilet paper hung on the wall next to the toilet.
The toilet seat was covered with a thick layer of yellow dirt, which was unbearable to look at.
The sink was right next to the toilet, its edges were worn out and the faucet was still dripping.
She tore off some paper and prepared to lay a circle around the toilet. Unexpectedly, when she was halfway through the action, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.
"Hurry up!"
"We're in a hurry!"
What made Shen Qianhe even more angry was that one of the men actually said in a frivolous tone: "Pretty girl, if you want to use the toilet, open the door and I can help you~"
Hearing this, Shen Qianhe became furious for no reason. Just as she was about to lose her temper, she heard a deep male voice coming from outside the door.
"Would you two behave yourself? Go to the shore and wait."
It's thirteen knives.
When the two men heard Thirteen Blades' words, they immediately became respectful and responded in succession:
"Yes, yes, Brother Thirteen!"
"Okay, okay, Brother Thirteen!"
Hearing the footsteps of the two men gradually moving away, Shen Qianhe's tense nerves relaxed a little.
At this moment, Shisandao said to Shen Qianhe in a calm voice, "Half an hour, come out by yourself at the appointed time."
There was no warmth in his tone, only unquestionable commands.
Shen Qianhe didn't say anything, but kicked the door hard, making a loud "bang" sound as a response.
Shisandao shook his head and smiled, then walked towards the fence not far away.
