Chapter 747 - 747 Protective
747 Protective
Wang Jiang’s eyes widened. He felt his exposed hand being pecked from time to time. There was also something slippery touching his ear and neck.
It was really too cold. His entire scalp went numb almost instantly.
The two guards casually discussed how to deal with him. His entire body was trembling.
Jin Si squatted by the pool while Jin Liu went to get the iron ball.
They returned very quickly. Jin Si stood up with a smile. “Go and put it on him. I’m grossed out by these things.”
With that, Jin Si clapped his hands and turned to leave.
Jin Liu went into the pool and grabbed Wang Jiang’s clothes. He sat him up and removed the cloth from his mouth.
Almost instantly, Wang Jiang hurriedly begged for mercy. “Lord, please spare me.”
Jin Liu frowned and punched Wang Jiang without saying a word.
Wang Jiang’s words instantly fell silent.
Jin Liu pinched open his jaw and stuffed the iron ball into his mouth. Then, he put it on him. It was not tight, but Wang Jiang did not have the strength to push it out.
Jin Liu let go and let Wang Jiang sleep in the pool again.
He left the pool.
Wang Jiang’s mumbles couldn’t disturb anyone at all.
He did not expect to be beaten up after failing to beg for mercy.
It was unknown if it was a snake, a fish, a loach, or something else in the pool. It was slippery and could bite. Every time it slid past his neck, his entire body trembled.
His scalp went numb. If he could touch his shoulder now, it would feel like chicken skin.
Wang Jiang began to pray that An Lie and An Cheng would return safely. Otherwise, he might not be able to keep his life…
Thinking of that family, Wang Jiang was extremely regretful. If only he had gotten a doctor for that old woman last month. If that old woman couldn’t take it anymore and died, would this debt be blamed on him?
Something crawled into his sleeve. Wang Jiang’s thoughts were disrupted. His eyes widened and he made struggling sounds.
However, the night was silent. No matter how much sound he made, no one came.
Moreover, Wang Jiang realized that he wouldn’t faint…
From tonight onwards, every hour, every moment, and every day felt like years to Wang Jiang…

On the quiet sea, the warm sun shone on every crew member who went out to sea.
There was no bone-chilling sea breeze, no terrifying storms, and no waves. The ships with sails were docked together.
The crew above ate the fragrant fish and drank strong wine.
No one knew that at the bottom, where the sun could not reach, some people’s lives were slowly disappearing.
Mother An was already terminally ill. Her eyes, which had previously regained their clarity, were already turbid. She could no longer see anything these few days.
An Xiaoou was also skin and bones. An Cheng and An Lie were also extremely thin.
When Mother An breathed her last breath and her chest became dry and flat, An Xiaoou sobbed and shouted softly, “Mother, don’t leave us behind…”
An Xiaoou’s tears were like an endless sea. She couldn’t stop them no matter what. She didn’t have a mother anymore. She didn’t have a mother.
An Lie’s eyes also burned with pain.
An Cheng punched the wall beside him fiercely and let out a foreboding cry.
Mother An had already gone and closed her eyes, which couldn’t see anything.
Sadness and a suffocating atmosphere lingered around the three of them.
All three of them did not move until it was dark outside.
Halfway through, leftovers from people were thrown over in a large basin.
“Little Lie, I want them all to die.”
An Cheng’s hoarse voice broke the suffocating tranquility.
An Lie swallowed and said, “How?”
An Xiaoou also raised her head and looked at her two closest people. She gritted her teeth and said, “Brother, Uncle, I’m not afraid of danger. I’m not afraid of death. I want to avenge my mother.”
“We can’t wait for Miss Su…”
An Xiaoou’s tone was dim and disappointed. Miss Su might have forgotten about them long ago.
In the end, they were too weak. They were easily slaughtered.
They had endured for more than a year to survive. They had done everything to survive, but it was too difficult. It was really too difficult.
They did not have enough to eat, did not wear warm clothes, and could not see a doctor when they were sick. After enduring for so long, their mother was gone.
Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before they died too.
They might starve to death, they might die of exhaustion, or they might die of illness. They were the lowest-grade slaves, and no one cared if they lived or died.
After being squeezed dry, so be it if they died.
Their only hope was that Su Xiaolu could come. She was their brother’s Master. She was so powerful. She would definitely be able to save them from their suffering.
But when would she come? What if she never came?
There was a long and suffocating silence. After a long time, An Lie suddenly said, “I have an idea.”
“Uncle, do you still remember the big Kun?”
When An Lie thought of the big Kun, there was still awe and fear in his eyes. It was the largest fish in the sea. If it went crazy, it would be incomparably terrifying. If these people bumped into it, they would definitely not be able to come out alive.
“They know about the big Kun and the Sea Kun. They won’t fall for it.”
An Cheng said hoarsely. Wang Jiang’s people were not fools. The stories of the Sea Kun and the big Kun had long spread. Everyone knew about them. They would not fall for it easily.
Although that thing was very tempting, people only had one life.
There were many treasures in the sea now. Everyone could already earn a lot of money safely, so why take the risk?
“Lie to them and use us as bait to catch the Kun. The three of us will be bait. When the Kun comes and approaches, stab its eyes to make it angry.”
An Lie calmly explained his plan. This plan was to gamble with the lives of the three of them. Even if they died, they would drag these people down with them. They believed in the big Kun’s strength. In its anger, it was impossible for these people to survive.
There were very few Kun in the sea. It was unknown how many there were. They were too huge and did not look like creatures that could exist in the world at all. The destructive power they brought must be earth-shattering.
“It’s just that we’ll die too.”
An Lie’s eyes were calm. They had endured for so long because they wanted to live. Even if they were worse than pigs and dogs, they still wanted to live and wait for dawn.
If not for the fact that their hearts were dead, they would not have walked into a dead end. Their mother’s death had dealt them a blow. For a moment, a thunderstorm enveloped them, making them unable to have any hope.
Since they couldn’t live anymore, they would drag them down and die with them.
“Brother, I’m not afraid of death. I want them all to die. None of them can go back alive.” An Xiaoou’s eyes were filled with hatred.
She smiled and said, “Brother, Uncle, I can hear the fish. I have a way to lure the big Kun over.”
