Chapter 116 - Fishing (1/2)
The captain immediately denied it.
With that being said, Tang Yishu felt a little ashamed. Afterall, it was something the captain gave out of generosity. It wasn’t polite saying something like that and making it seem as if it was something the captain had done intentionally.
It was also possible that the captain himself didn’t know.
Qin Mu Yin stepped forward, “Captain, we didn’t mean that. We just saw some bugs in the food so we——-”
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the captain’s dark expression.
Qin Mu Yin subconsciously stopped.
The captain mutter: “That’s impossible. You must’ve seen wrong. It’s impossible for something like that to happen. You’re definitely mistaken.”
Xia He Yin said: “We all saw it.”
The captain said: “I have to see it with my own eyes.”
As soon as this sentence was uttered, they were stunned. Afterall, it was already dealt with earlier and there wasn’t anything for him to see anymore.
Seeing their expressions, the captain smiled slightly, “Don’t lie to me. That is not very nice. I don’t like it.”
Su Min’s back went cold.
Although he said that with a smile, it gave him a bad feeling. It was as if there was a dark meaning hidden behind those words of his.
As a child, Su Ying naturally felt that even more strongly,
She shuffled closer to Su Min and hid behind him. Using her short stature, she looked up at the captain and his jiggling flesh.
This captain was too overweight.
The people around them heard the commotion and they all came over. The short-haired woman asked: “What happened?”
Qin Mu Yin said: “No………”
Before he could finish, the captain interrupted him: “They’re saying that the food has expired. How could that be possible?”
The short-haired woman was also surprised, “That’s impossible. You must’ve seen wrong. The captain saved you. You shouldn’t be saying things like this.”
Everyone around them started to discuss.
Qin Mu Yin’s skin was thin. He felt embarrassed with so many people around, “Maybe we saw wrong.”
Xia He Yin also said: “We saw wrong……”
The captain’s expression finally went for the better, “It’s okay if you saw wrong, just don’t misunderstand me. I hope you have a good time here.”
He turned and walked away.
The door on the side quickly closed after him. It was blocked by the captain’s large figure earlier and with the door closed now, they couldn’t see what was behind it.
The short-haired woman said: “The captain doesn’t like people questioning him, so he was very angry. You probably saw wrong. Don’t worry about it.”
Su Min made a sound of understanding, “I know, thank you.”
The short-haired woman smiled. She saw Su Ying behind him, and her eyes lit up, “Is she your sister?”
Su Ying didn’t say anything. She pretended to be scared.
The short-haired woman saw this and was even more excited. She reached out wanting to touch her.
Seeing this, Su Min reached out and covered Su Ying, “Sorry, my sister is afraid of strangers. She’s not used to being around people she is not familiar with.”
With him covering her, Su Ying could no longer see what’s in front.
The short-haired woman stopped. She then casually withdrew her hand and said with a smile: “That’s okay, you guys go have fun. Rest well.”
When she left, she again glanced at the girl standing behind Su Min.
With her departure, there were now only a few of them left.
Xia He Yin rubbed Su Ying’s head, “She seems to be very interested in your sister. Does she like children?”
Su Min said: “Maybe.”
That look of hers gave him an uncomfortable feeling. This entire ship also wasn’t right. Although they looked human at the moment, it was possible that these people aren’t human.
Qin Mu Yin said: “Let’s go back.”
They returned to the place where ate.
Because some had left for the deck, there weren’t many people on the dance floor. The music had also soothed down.
Song Nan Nan listened to their conversation and looked down only to exclaim with surprised, “The traces from earlier are gone. Look at the ground.”
The traces of the bugs that were crushed earlier were all gone.
Tang Yi Shu squatted down and looked closely, “It’s really gone. It’s as if nothing had happened. Did we all see wrong?”
“Impossible.” Song Nan Nan could still clearly remember it. Just the thought of it made her feel sick, “Everyone saw wrong at the same time?”
Earlier, there were still some traces left on the ground after Su Min’s sister flicked it onto the floor and crushed it. It was no longer visible now.
Qin Mu Yin said: “Maybe the captain really didn’t know about this and that was why he didn’t believe it. It does sound a little exaggerated saying that it expired.”
People wouldn’t usually believe it.
Su Min thought for a moment, “Is it usually like this when food expire?”
He hadn’t cooked before. The food given to them earlier was also something that was cooked up from raw ingredients. It wasn’t something premade.
Qin Mu Yin guessed: “It might be canned food?”
Su Min shook his head, “The food they eat should have been prepared normally. It didn’t look like canned food. Have you bought canned food like this that still needed to be cooked?”
In general, canned food on a ship like this could be eaten directly. Even if they were processed, all the bugs in it would have died.
Qin Mu Yin hesitated. “Maybe that’s what they bought?”
Xia He Yin said: “Not dying despite being cooked? It’s common finding these things at the school cafeteria but they’re usually dead. This isn’t normal.”
“Yeah.” Tang Yishu also felt that it wasn’t right. “Didn’t they say that those that are high in protein would die in high temperatures? These ones were still alive.”
Those bugs were very tenacious.
In any case, Su Min had never seen something like this before.
So he attributed it to the ghost ship. Despite being strange in real live, it was something far too common in horror movies.
Anyway, it was something worth noting.
