A Pirate's Counting Life

After Shirley entered the bathroom, Mark started to make the bed and took out a spare set of bedding from the cabinet.

Mark carefully laid out the bedding on the floor, but unfortunately there were no spare pillows in the room.

After packing everything, Mark lay down directly, wrapped himself in quilt and rested his head with his right hand. In a daze, he seemed to hear someone calling him. Mark hummed feebly, then turned over and continued to sleep.

Shirley called softly several times in the bathroom but didn't hear Mark's response. After thinking for a moment, she carefully pushed the door open a crack and looked outside. She found that the room was dark with only a few rays of moonlight shining through the window.

Shirley breathed a sigh of relief and walked out wrapped in a bath towel. At this moment, Mark suddenly snorted.

Shirley was so frightened that she immediately wrapped herself in her bathrobe and looked towards the place where the sound came from. She saw Mark turning over and smacking his lips.

Shirley breathed a sigh of relief and started looking around, finally finding the shopping bag at the foot of the bed.

Shirley walked carefully to the bed, took out her clothes, and dressed them neatly under the moonlight.

Then she climbed onto the bed gently, feeling the soft cotton, and a smile appeared on Shirley's face

He happily got into bed, turned his head to look at Mark on the floor, and said with a blushing face.

"thanks…"

At this moment, she had a sense of identity with Mark. He didn't mean to repay the favor, and he also promised that she could have a full meal.

It was impossible to feed herself by herself, unless she stole and robbed, but she didn't like that. Now that she had a new choice, she decided to take advantage of it.

Mark was woken up by his biological clock early the next morning. As soon as he sat up, he heard a movement from the bed.

Shirley also knelt on the bed, making a fighting gesture with her hands. When she saw it was Mark, Shirley lowered her raised hands.

She patted her smooth chest and saw Mark looking towards her. Shirley instinctively covered her body with the quilt.

Mark rolled his eyes and said subconsciously, "What's there to cover? The front and back are the same and they're not as big as mine."

Mark knew it was over as soon as he said the words. Shirley lifted the quilt, lightly touched the bed with her left foot, drew an arc in the air with her right foot, and kicked Mark in the head with a burst of sound.

If a normal person had received this kick, he would have ended up exploding on the spot. Mark took a step back to avoid the kick, and the strong wind blowing from his head ruffled Mark's hair.

When Shirley's body slowly fell and was about to hit the ground, she put her hands on the ground and her whole body was ejected into the air again.

He kicked Mark's chin with his feet together. Seeing that he couldn't hide, Mark had to cross his hands and push down hard.

After a loud noise, Mark took five steps back, and his body hit the wooden door hard with a muffled sound. Shirley was also pushed backwards by this huge force, just when her head was about to touch the ground.

Shirley subconsciously tapped her hand on the ground, then rolled twice in the air and landed smoothly on the bed.

"Yes... I'm sorry!"

The next moment, Shirley knelt down on the bed and gave Mark a [-]-degree bow. She sincerely apologized and admitted her mistake.

Mark was slightly startled. In the last few seconds of the fight, the opponent was almost suppressing him and fighting. It seemed that he had learned some moves and routines, but Shirley looked like he was about to cry at this moment, which gave Mark a headache.

Such excellent fighting skills can only be used when the body has an instinctive reaction. Mark shook his head with some regret.

"It's okay, don't blame yourself, isn't it okay?"

He smiled and waved to Shirley, and then started to pack the bedding. The two of them still had things to do today.

Before leaving, Shirley glanced at the shopping bag on the table, which contained her old clothes.

Seeing that the other party was a little reluctant to leave, Mark comforted him by saying, "Shirley, you are no longer the wanderer you used to be. Just say goodbye to the past."

After speaking, he lightly patted Shirley on the shoulder and made an encouraging gesture towards the other party.

Shirley nodded her head hard, took a deep breath, her eyes became firm, and she stopped looking at the shopping bag.

She felt that Mark was right, and she would be a just navy from now on. Although she didn’t quite believe Mark’s statement about being a navy, since the other party had already said it, she didn’t mind playing a game called navy with him.

The two were walking on the street. Shirley closed her eyes comfortably and felt the warmth of the sun on her skin. For the first time, she felt like a human being, not a walking zombie wandering around without any goals.

She originally wanted to use the money she begged to have a good meal yesterday, and then find a deserted place to end her life.

But Mark's appearance changed her mind. Now she just wants to follow him and look at the figure walking in front from her field of vision.

Bathed in the sunshine, it's like an angel descending from the sky, so dazzling and warm.

"Look, that thing looks delicious. Let's go try it."

Mark turned around and shouted to Shirley, then grabbed Shirley's hand and pulled her towards a stall nearby.

By the time Shirley came to her senses, Mark had already let go of her hand and was bargaining with the boss there. The two of them were quarreling with red faces.

Looking down at her left hand, Shirley's cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Okay, okay, I'll sell you three hundred Baileys."

The boss waved his hand helplessly and handed the two food boxes to Mark.

Smelling the aroma in the food box, Mark closed his eyes intoxicated and handed a food box to Shirley.

"Eat it, that black-hearted boss sold me 300 pieces, but I cut him down to [-] pieces. Hey, what do you think? I'm good."

While eating, Mark showed a wise smile to Shirley. Shirley pursed her lips and snickered, deciding not to tell Mark the fact that you could actually buy two portions of this thing for [-] Baileys.

The boss who sells things will usually have two quotations, one is expensive and the other is the normal price. When meeting customers who come to buy things, they always say the more expensive one first.

If the other party is a local, they will expose themselves directly. If the outsider either pays readily or bargains smartly, they can make a fortune in either case.

Seeing Mark's proud smile, Shirley couldn't help but smile. Mark looked like he was giving advice to his juniors, patted his chest and said

"No matter what price a seller like this offers, you cut it in half, and then slowly cut it down until the other person admits defeat."

"okokokok"

Shirley tried not to laugh out loud and gave a few perfunctory hums. After receiving the affirmation, Mark looked like a victorious rooster, holding his head up proudly. It was a pity that he was not an animal type fruit user, otherwise his tail would be able to wag. into propeller

The two came to the dock talking and laughing. Mark asked Shirley to ask which ship was coming to O'Hara today, and then remember the location and tell him back.

Ten minutes later, Shirley returned to Mark and pointed to the ship on the far left, "That's the only ship going to O'Hara, and Ten Thousand Baileys alone."

Mark nodded slightly and secretly cursed the steward of the ship for being shameless. Yesterday, when he went to ask him, he actually charged him 100 million beli and said that this was the normal price. Mark resisted the urge to curse and said to Shirley.

"Let's get on that ship"

Mark grabbed Shirley who was about to go over and said helplessly, "What are you doing? I haven't finished speaking yet."

Shirley was like a bad student caught by the teacher, lowering her head in shame

"We sneaked onto the boat in the dark at night"

Shirley raised her head in confusion, blinking her beautiful eyes, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her purple pupils as if to say, how could you do this?

Mark scratched his head and said helplessly, "We are short of funds now and can only make the next move. At worst, I will return the money to them after I find the navy branch."

Shirley nodded seriously and then took Mark to a store and bought a booklet and a pen.

Just when Mark was confused, Shirley began to recall the name of the store yesterday and then wrote the name on the booklet and marked it with 50 Baileys.

Then he wrote down the name of the merchant ship and marked it with [-] Baileys on the back. Mark scratched his head but couldn't say anything. Anyway, he would probably give Sora a call then. He couldn't watch his apprentice being in debt.

If the other party was really so cruel, he would go to the newspaper to report him. He had already thought of the title "Shocked!"The disciple of the general Gang Gu Kong was reduced to a beggar. Is it a loss of morality or a distortion of human nature?

At that time, Mark will want to see where Kong's old face will go. As for whether the other party will chase him thousands of miles away, Mark said it is not a big problem.

If Kong dared to chase him, he would dare to kneel down and admit his mistake and call him foster father, then change his name to Lu Fengxian and kill Kong directly.
