Chapter 25 On the Ship

?  At this time, Du Yuqi and Xi had of course changed their costumes. Du Yuqi was dressed as a middle-aged man, even bald, with a shiny forehead. He carried a half-worn elk leather suitcase, wore tan overalls, and a jacket, just like a middle-level businessman who had been traveling around for many years. Tianlai’ novel Ｗｗ‘Ｗ． ’⒉

And Xi changed into a floral dress and wrapped her head with a plaid headscarf. To outsiders, she looked like a shy daughter who had just gone out, snuggling up to her father like a frightened little elk.

This combination of two people seems quite common on the steamship, and they blended into the passengers very smoothly. As the whistle sounded, the four huge steamers on both sides of the steamship began to turn slowly, deeply immersed in the water, and then stirred up a lot of white water. Under the powerful push of the paddle wheel, this huge ship that looks a bit bulky began to resolutely leave the dock and headed downstream in the turbid river.

Because Lin and Jet had never been exposed to the enemy, they did not leave together, but stayed to clean up the traces for the two, and then rushed to the agreed fixed place to meet after doing these things.

So after the boat started, Du Yuqi and Xi returned to the cabin. Because they had many secrets, they chose the most expensive first-class cabin that could guarantee privacy when buying the ticket. In addition to the independent room and bathroom, there was also a very small balcony, which could only allow two people to sit opposite each other and drink coffee.

Of course, the furnishings in the room were also very simple. There was a small brown round table made of beech wood with a few burn marks on it. Apparently, many passengers liked to put their pipes on it. The corners of the bed and stool were wrapped with soft rubber, because when the ship was sailing on the water, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be sudden and violent turbulence. Once the passengers lost their center of gravity and fell, it would be fatal if their heads hit the edges.

Although the curtains were made of cheap mulberry silk mixed with cotton, and it was unknown how long they had not been washed, they still felt quite soft, and the light-blocking and anti-static properties were quite good. People on the road, can't always ask for too much, right?

Then Du Yuqi carefully searched the room again and found that there was a door on the right wall, but this door should be used for escape in an emergency, and it could be locked from their side, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Next, Du Yuqi hid behind the curtains, paying close attention to the shore until the boat left the shore. Then he let out a long breath, sat down on the bed, and then fell down very simply, forming a "big" shape, and closed his eyes.

At this time, his mind was blank, as if a computer had just been formatted, deleting everything completely. After a long time, he snored slightly because he was too tired.

This was not only a crazy consumption of physical strength, but also a sequelae of excessive brain use.

Xi sat cross-legged next to him, opened his eyes after a while, stood up and walked to the bed, looked at Du Yuqi's face seriously, listened to his even breathing, and suddenly a kind of warmth surged in his heart. Then, he should be afraid that he would catch a cold, so he opened the quilt next to him and covered Du Yuqi.

***

When Du Yuqi woke up again, he felt that it was already nightfall. The room was dark and there were no candles. The water vapor from the river kept rushing in from the window, so the originally turbid air became very fresh. Because of Xi, there was even a faint lotus fragrance. Because of this, Du Yuqi felt that the quality of his previous nap was very good, and the whole person was refreshed as if he had been reborn.

"I'm really sorry, I actually fell asleep. How long did I sleep?" Du Yuqi yawned and said to Xi who was sitting next to him.

At this time, in Du Yuqi's impression, Xi was sitting there practicing before he went to bed, as if she had never moved at all, but this was obviously an illusion, and the quilt on his body should be covered by her.

After hearing Du Yuqi's question, Xi said:

"You should have slept for five hours. It's past ten o'clock in the evening now."

"Ah? I slept for so long!" Du Yuqi was a little surprised, and he soon heard the "gurgling" sound from his stomach, and immediately said: "I seem to be a little hungry, have you had dinner?"

Xi shook his head as if aggrieved:

"No."

Du Yuqi sighed:

"Actually, you don't have to stay here to watch me all the time. This ship should be quite safe in the short term. According to my calculations, even if the other party can grasp our whereabouts in time and catch up, it will be at least at dawn tomorrow."

Xi sighed softly:

"I didn't go to dinner because I didn't have any money... Our ticket only includes the cost of accommodation, and I don't usually have the habit of carrying money, and it is even more impossible to bring money when escaping from the court this time."

Du Yuqi:

"Embarrassing...Okay, okay, this is my fault,"

***

Although the dinner time ended for more than three hours, Du Yuqi was still very resourceful. With a tip of half a silver coin, the chef happily lit the stove again. Although there were only two dishes and one soup, the portion was very large. Satisfied, a bottle of potato wine was also delivered. This thing tastes ordinary but has a unique rich aroma. It can also speed up the blood flow and expel the fatigue of the journey.

Xi didn't seem to be very used to eating one of the tomato and garlic grilled chicken dishes, but she ate the other baked pork knuckles with wheat grains with gusto. The mushroom cream soup tasted a little greasy when eaten directly, but it was delicious when eaten with croissants. The flavor is great, the crispy bread crust and the soupy bread filling fill your belly easily.

At this time, Du Yuqi realized that Xi's appetite was also very good, and she also liked to suck the finger holding the bread when eating, like a greedy cat. This made Master Xi who usually seemed very indifferent. It was a bit human, and even Xi noticed Du Yuqi's half-smiling gaze. Of course she knew there was something wrong with her eating appearance, so she couldn't help but roll her eyes. This little daughter's attitude was not acceptable to her. Not common.

In the end, the two of them achieved the "CD achievement". Even the soup of the baked pork knuckles with wheat grains was dipped in the bread. The two of them ate enough food for four people. No wonder the cook who came to collect the plates had a look in his eyes. Something's not quite right.

After the cook who cleared the table left, the room returned to a quiet environment, but the roar of the steamship engine became more intense. This was because Du Yuqi and the others had booked the most expensive stateroom. If it was the cheapest, travel ticket , the Datong Shop is placed directly above the steamship engine, with only two thin decks separating the two. If you travel by ship under such conditions, you are guaranteed to still have hearing loss in your ears even for several hours after getting off the ship. There will be buzzing auditory hallucinations.

Du Yuqi put out the candle again, and then said to Xi:

"I suggest you take the time to rest for a while, because from now on, the probability of us encountering the enemy will increase little by little, and finally increase to 100%. I personally think this time will not pass tomorrow's sunrise."

Xi shook her head:

"I don't want to sleep, you need to rest first."

Du Yuqi calmly fell back on the bed and closed his eyes, but after a few minutes, he sat up again holding his stomach and said with a grimace:

"I'm too full to sleep."

But he soon saw what seemed to be tools for grinding coffee next to him, and his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:

"Why don't we have some tea to eat?"

After a while, two steaming cups of tea were placed in front of the two of them. The tea was very fragrant and fragrant. Xi's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but say:

"What kind of tea are you brewing? Why does it smell so fragrant?"

Although there are teas in Arad Continent, most of them are used in combination, such as honey tea, lemon tea, etc., and even stronger flavors include salted citrus tea, etc., such as those brewed by Du Yuqi at this time Jasmine Dragon Balls are really extremely rare, and the slightly bitter fragrance appeals to Xi very much, and it immediately makes her feel like she's too late to meet them.

Before, Du Yuqi felt very comfortable eating bread dipped in soup, but it was inevitable that he would feel thirsty due to the large amount of salt consumed, so he drank tea one cup at a time. After a while, Du Yuqi felt a little anxious. Want to go to the toilet.

There was a toilet in the stateroom they lived in, but it was just a toilet. Since he had not slept yet, and as a man, Du Yuqi naturally chose to go outside the cabin to solve personal problems, w.an.co The toilet here is a small house with a wooden board with a hole the size of a basin. It is otherwise empty, but surprisingly clean and hygienic.

However, just when Du Yuqi walked to the toilet, unzipped his pants and started to pee, he suddenly got excited and saw two small dark green eyes in the water below, looking over with murderous intent, and his own As soon as he peeed, it was right in the center of these two little eyes!

Immediately, an extremely angry shout came from the water, and then a figure was seen crawling up extremely quickly, and actually stuck a pair of knives on the hull of the steamer. , pounced straight up as if climbing a ladder.

Immediately afterwards, the figure made a spin, and then saw a silver light shining, aiming at Du Yuqi and covering his head. Fortunately, it took some time for this guy to rush up from below, allowing Du Yuqi to pull up his pants to avoid it. The embarrassment of "fighting with exposed birds" was eliminated.

At this time, Du Yuqi swung his sword horizontally and used the skill of parry. He suddenly felt a shock in his hand, and was knocked back two or three steps. Then he saw a tall fish jumping up from below. Man, this guy has no scales on his body, but the fish tentacles and gills on his lips are very obvious, and what he holds in his hands are two long shining silver hooks! fs23
