The expressions of those people looking at Shane Shaw were in awe. They had the same expression as the citizen of the Chu Country when they saw the imperial family.
Could it be that Shane Shaw was not just a businessman in the United Kingdom?
After a while, a woman led Shane Shaw and his party to a wooden house.
This wooden house was relatively bigger than any wooden house, but despite this, the arrival of the three of them still makes the wooden house very crowded.
There was a peculiar smell in the room that can’t be ignored. It smelled fishy and stinky, but not enough to make people sick.
Bai Zhi’s face was as usual. She didn’t frown, she only looked at a tall man who entered from the outside.
The man was wearing a grass skirt, and behind him was a woman. The woman was different from the other women here. She was wearing a dress, a dark gray long gown, with a rattan rope tied around her waist.
Bai Zhi’s eyes fell on the dress. The material was different from the one worn by Shane Shaw. It looked like the fabric of Chu State, and the style was similar. However, there were several holes in the clothes, and no patches were applied. It looks like a man’s clothes.
Bai Zhi looked at the woman’s clothes, and the woman also stared at Bai Zhi’s clothes, with a strange light in her eyes.
She was very interested in the clothes Bai Zhi was wearing.
The man sat cross-legged in front of Shane Shaw and Bai Zhi and made a gesture towards Shane Shaw, which seemed to be their etiquette here, grinning with white teeth.
Shane Shaw said to Bai Zhi: “He is the owner of this island, Aru.”
Bai Zhi nodded her head and smiled at him as a greeting.
When the man opened his mouth and speak, it was actually in English, which was not proficient, but it was enough to communicate with them normally.
“Listen to my people, you were brought here by the storm? Where is your ship?”
Bai Zhi winked at Shane Shaw. Shane Shaw understood, and replied: “Our ship was destroyed by the storm, and we came here floating on a wooden board.”
Alu nodded, without doubt, he knew that in that direction, there was a storm eye, which was very powerful. Destroying the fishing boat was an easy task, and it was a miracle that they could survive.
Shane Shaw said: “As long as you are willing to send us back to the United Kingdom, I will pay you generously.”
Alu was about to agree when the woman behind him nudged him and whispered in Alu’s ear.
The woman deliberately lowered her voice, but the space between them was not significant, her voice penetrated the ears of the three of them.
It was a local dialect. Bai Zhi couldn’t understand it, so she took a look at Shane Shaw.
Shane Shaw bowed his head, put his mouth close to Bai Zhi’s ear, and whispered, “Alu’s wife wants to add a set of clothes like yours as a reward.”
Bai Zhi was stunned. The corners of her lips were slightly curved. Fortunately, she brought a few sets of clothes, otherwise, what would she do if she had to rip off her clothes?
This was the first time that Shane Shaw was so close to her, so close that the tip of his tall nose could almost touch her face, and a faint scent of woman penetrated his nose, causing his mind to suddenly sway.
He wanted to taste that cherry mouth of her.
Bai Zhi seemed to sense that something was wrong with Shane Shaw and immediately moved her body towards Xiao Qing.
Shane Shaw finally regained his senses, and quickly sat up straight, scolding himself for being a beast. She was still young, she was just a little girl, how could he have such unreasonable thoughts about her? He wanted to slap himself twice.
Alu had already agreed with his wife, so he said to Shane Shaw: “Three days later, the only fishing boat on our island will send fish to the United Kingdom. I can promise to take you there together, but, in addition to the remuneration, my wife also wants a set this young lady is wearing.”
