Chapter 774 - He’s so Cheap (1/2)

“Don’t you share yours with me, too?” Xia Ruoxin drank the soup contentedly, despite its lack of taste. To be honest, it tasted like dishwashing liquid; maybe, that was exactly what it was.

Shen Wei cupped the bowl with both her hands. “How great would it be if we can get this every day?”

“I wish so, too.” Xia Ruoxin smiled. What she actually wanted to say was that it was good to have someone to share the soup with. No matter her or Shen Wei, life would be incredibly difficult if there was only one of them left in this world.

It was good to have the soup.

Even if it was just half or a tiny portion… at least they had someone to share it with.

The others were not so fortunate. They were like the walking dead. They probably would not even live very long.

What they were unaware of was that there was a boat sailing towards where they were from afar. In the vast ocean, the boat was like a single leaf, moving along its currents.

The floorboard seemed to shake a little. Chu Lui opened his eyes, used to a life without solid ground and with nothing but a thin layer of wood between him and the ocean.

The door opened, and a pail with some biscuits was brought in.

All the hungry people rushed forward, but a scrawny man grabbed two and walked over to Chu Lui, where he passed one to the man.

He then curled up in a corner and began eating.

This was the man that Chu Lui had kicked over the last time. He was probably sucking up to Chu Lui out of fear of being beaten up again, but Chu Lui was not complaining about having something to wait on him.

He wondered how long it would take for them to arrive; there was probably about a month’s journey left.

He closed his eyes as he stuffed the biscuit into his mouth occasionally.

Regardless of its taste, he did not have much of an appetite. He grew increasingly frustrated as time passed.

A month later, the boat suddenly came to a stop; and the world was quiet.

We’re here. Chu Lui opened his eyes as the door was opened. There was quite a bit of light flowing in, and that was probably the most amount of light they had seen in a really long time.

The people were busy moving the cargo. As for them, it was not their time yet.

When it was almost dark, the people from outside chased them out of the cabins. Because it was already dark outside, it was not as hard on their eyes.
