Chapter 250 (1/2)

The salty sea wind made Su Muge's brain a little confused.

After nearly half a month's journey, they finally arrived at the seaside.

On the wharf, the workers came and went, and no one noticed the three people standing by the sea.

A Li goes to a cargo ship and doesn't know what he said to the boatman. Then he goes back to Jinglan and Su Muge.

”It's settled with the boatman. Let's get on board.”

Su Muge nodded, and the three got on the cargo ship together.

On the way to Jinglan, Su Muge learned from them that there are many small island countries on the sea. These island countries have little contact with Xiliang. Most of them live a life of mutual supply.

But the ship chamber of Commerce in Xiliang will go to sea at a fixed time, and fill the ships with goods to sell outside those islands. Although it is dangerous on the way, the profits are very considerable.

A Li skillfully walked into the last room of the cabin. Occasionally, some islanders would come to Xiliang country by boat, and then go back by these merchant ships. Therefore, some rooms would be prepared for those people on the cargo ship.

A Li pushes open the door of the room and goes in. The room is very small. There is only a wooden bed and a small table without a chair.

They have prepared enough dry food. On the ship, the boatman will only provide a certain amount of fresh water, but not others. If they want to, they have to pay for it.

”You go to bed and sit down. I'll go to the dock and buy some food.” A Li puts the package on the table. They must stay on the ship for at least five to ten days. They can't just eat hard steamed bread these days.

With that, Ali pushes the door open and goes out.

A Li left, Jing Lan did not sit down, but opened the door, stood outside and looked around.

”Uncle, what are you looking at?”

Hearing this, Jinglan closes the door and sits down beside her. ”Look who's on this ship.”

Su Muge thought he was just idle and didn't take his words to heart.

After a while, Ali came back with a big bundle in his hand. Besides the dried meat, he also had some fresh fruits.

Ali put everything on the table and sat down in a clean place in the room.

”I'm ready to sail. You guys should hurry up, like master tortoise. Do you want to celebrate the new year at sea?”

”It's going to be a fast ship. Those who don't get on board will get on board quickly.”

The noise outside the door is more and more noisy. It seems that it's about to set sail.

Su Muge still owes. In recent days, she is more and more sleepy. She feels that it's OK to sleep down 12 hours a day. If it's not because she's hungry, she won't remember.

Jinglan sees her lying down and going to sleep. She reaches out and pulls her up.

”It's not long since I just got up. How can I lie down again? Don't sleep until the boat is stable.”

Su Muge was a little surprised. This was the first time Jinglan stopped her from sleeping.

She always had a feeling that he was afraid that she would go to sleep.

She didn't lie down any more, but sat on the bed and talked to them.

”Tell me more about the island.”

”I don't know if I can get a little fried chicken on board.”

“……”

The ship soon sailed like the sea. In order to sleep less, Su Muge would go to the deck to blow the sea breeze before dark, so as to wake up a little.

Because there are almost all men on the ship, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, she has become a man easily, and no one will notice her.

With the sea breeze blowing, Su Muge leaned on the deck and squinted comfortably.

There was a sound of footsteps behind her. She opened her eyes and looked at the sound source. She saw a tall and thin man coming out of the cabin. He was very white, but this kind of white made people feel very unhealthy, like the pale without light.

He stood at a distance of three steps from Su Muge and watched the sky gradually pull down the curtain.

At one glance, Su Muge took back her sight.

Seeing that it was going to be dark, she could not stay on the deck, so she went back to the cabin.

Push open the door, Jinglan and a Li don't know where to get a stool. They are sitting and eating melon seeds.

”I'm a little hungry.” Su Muge sits down on the bed board.

A Li looked at the bun on the table. ”Eat.”

All of them ate steamed buns this day. Su Muge felt that he couldn't bring up any appetite.

”I wish I had fresh and tender meat at this time.”

A Li spits out the shell of melon seeds in his mouth. ”It's not easy. You wait.”

With that, he stood up and walked out.

Su Muge looks at Jinglan, as if asking him what he wants to do.

Jinglan seems to shield the two people automatically. She doesn't even give Su Muge a look.

Su Muge yawned a lot. Just as she was going to lie down to sleep, the door of the room was pushed open. Ali came in with a baked fish.”Fresh, eat it.”

Su Muge is surprised to see the grilled fish with her arm in front of her. ”Where did it come from?”

”Caught.”

Su Muge reaches for it.

”Thank you, uncle Ali.”
