Chapter 407: Does It Feel Good
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Mo Tu had prepared a dress for Su Ying that had been washed until it had turned white, but there was not a single stain of grime on it.
This dress probably belonged to Que Que’s big sister or mother. It was a little short on her, but she could make do with it.
When Su Ying walked out of the washroom, she could smell the fresh aroma of fish. The food that Su Ying had eaten in the morning had long been digested. She followed the fragrance and saw the white-haired Mo Tu squatting in front of the stove cooking.
Su Ying carefully examined his face. Although he had a head of white hair, his eyebrows and eyelashes were black, and the contours of his face were very gentle. Although one could see his clearly defined jawline from the side of his face, from the front, it was a gentle and beautiful oval face. A man with this kind of face shape tended to appear more feminine than usual, but there was no feminine air about him at all. This was because his face was bright and elegant and his nose bridge was high. It perfectly blended the gentleness of his facial outline and made him appear more masculine.
“What are you looking at? You know me?” Mo Tu suddenly raised his head and met Su Ying’s scrutinizing gaze.
Su Ying’s gaze fell on the fish meat in the pot. “I don’t know you. Why? You don’t even know who you are?”
Mo Tu frowned. “Mm-hmm. I forgot.”
Su Ying looked at his placid eyes and didn’t think he was lying.
“Have you ever thought of leaving this place and searching for your unknown past?”
Mo Tu scooped out all the fish meat in the pot and said without raising his head, “1 have a feeling that my previous life must have been bad, so the heavens gave me a chance to start over. I think it’s good to stay here. Let’s eat.” In order to play host to Su Ying, Mo Tu even took out the fine grains at home and cooked a large pot of rice.
“Big Sister, try it. Big Brother’s fish is also very delicious.”
Mo Tu cooked a large basin of fish and even steamed the prawns and crabs he had collected back. There were not many dishes, but the portions were very large.
Su Ying also picked up her bowl and chopsticks and started eating without reservation.
It had to be said that this fish was really fresh, and Mo Tu’s culinary skill was not bad either.
By the time Su Ying had finished half the pot of rice and was about to scoop more, Que Que and Mo Tu silently put down their bowls and chopsticks.
They really didn’t expect Su Ying to have such a big appetite…
Su Ying didn’t want to eat so much at first, but when she saw that they had all put down their chopsticks, she couldn’t just let the rice in the pot and the dishes on the table go to waste, so she reluctantly finished them.
After eating, Mo Tu cleared the table and went to the kitchen.
“Que Que, didn’t you bring those fish back? Why were you still running to the beach?”
Que Que replied as she looked at Su Ying, “I cooked some fish meat and wanted to send it to you.”
Su Ying was surprised. “You went to look for me?”
Que Que nodded. “I wanted to let you try the fish I cooked. The fish I cooked is very delicious too.”
Su Ying didn’t realize that this little girl got into danger because she was going to deliver fish meat to her. She suddenly felt a little glad that she had encountered that pirate ship and followed it back.
At night, Mo Tu arranged an empty room for Su Ying. “You can sleep here tonight. If you need anything, just call me. My name is Mo Tu.”
“Alright.”
Su Ying closed the door. The sea breeze blew in through the window, carrying with it the unique smell of the sea.
When she opened her eyes again, the sky had already turned bright.
Su Ying got up and walked over to the pirate leader. After taking the medicine yesterday, this bastard slept peacefully.
Su Ying slapped the pirate leader, and he was instantly woken up by that slap.
The moment he opened his eyes and saw Su Ying, Su Ying saw the fear in his eyes.
“Let me ask you. Have you heard of the Chu State?”
The pirate leader shook his head vigorously. “Nev… never heard of it.”
Su Ying narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to slap him again. Two slaps later, he was stunned into a daze. “Think carefully before you answer.”
After taking a deep breath, the pirate leader said hoarsely, “I… 1 really don’t know. We… we also live on an island.”
Su Ying frowned. “Do you know the kingdom that is closest to this island?”
“This I know… I know. It’s the Jin State, the port of the Jin State. It’s the kingdom closest to this island. Many merchant ships come from there.”
Su Ying thought that after she was washed into the sea, it was very likely that she had encountered an ocean current that had directly brought her to such a distant place.
Although it was far to return from the Jin State to the Chu State, it was better than fumbling around like a headless fly.
“Do you know the sea route to the Jin State?”
“I know.” Every time they robbed an island or a merchant ship, they would go to the Jin State to exchange money to buy what they needed.
“Very good. If you sail the ship to the Jin State, I will spare your dog life.”
“My two legs are broken,” the pirate leader said in anguish.
Su Ying glanced at his two legs. Before he could react, she twisted them back into position with her bare hands. She then took out a silver needle and stabbed it into his Great Vertebra acupoint.
Before the pirate leader could even feel the pain, he saw Su Ying stand up.
He looked at her in surprise and slowly got up from the ground. He realized that his legs were fine.
“How long does it take to go from here to the coast of the Jin State?”
The pirate leader replied, “If there’s a current in our favor, it’ll take at most ten days to reach it. Right now, the current is against us and it’ll take at least a month to reach it.”
“How long do we have to wait for a favorable current?”
“The end of the year. The current will only turn in our favor at the end of the year.”
That was too long. Su Ying couldn’t wait that long.
Su Ying told the pirate leader to bring her to the ship to check the ship’s supplies.
Fresh water was more important than food. If they wanted to sail for a month, they would need at least one to two months’ worth of fresh water supplies.
The pirate leader brought Su Ying to the cabin. There were a large number of wooden barrels stacked up inside, but most of them were empty. The pirates planned to return after robbing this island, so they did not prepare enough supplies.
Su Ying and the pirate leader moved all the water barrels out of the ship. She threw them down from above while he caught them from below.
Just as Su Ying turned around and went inside the island to get the water, the pirate leader turned around and fled. He climbed onto the ship from the other side. He would wait for Su Ying to get off the ship before sailing away immediately.
As soon as Su Ying walked out, she realized that he was gone, but she didn’t panic at all.
She followed the footprints on the beach and slowly looked in the direction of the sea.
He would not be stupid enough to go into the sea. He should be hiding nearby and waiting for an opportunity to move.
Su Ying whistled and snapped her fingers lightly.
Then, a scream rang from the ship’s bridge, accompanied by the sound of sea water splashing.
Su Ying gave a scornful sneer and slowly walked up to the ship’s bridge. She saw the pirate leader rolling on the ground in pain.
The pirate leader only felt a shadow loomed over him and he saw Su Ying standing at the doorway without any emotion.
This time, he really felt a strong sense of terror.
“Does it feel good?”
“Spare… spare… spare me… Ugh, Argh!”
“I told you before not to try to escape, but you didn’t listen.”
“I… I won’t escape anymore. I won’t escape anymore.. Sob, sob, sob, sob…”
