First mate is not easy

Lando moved a small stool and sat down in front of the man, holding his face and staring at the man in front of him seriously for a while, until he saw the corners of the man's lips pursed tighter and tighter. For a second, Lando felt that The person in front of him seemed to be extremely impatient, but when he took a closer look, he found that he was actually just being shy.

It's so cute.

The dark-haired young man glanced up and down over the man's firm but somewhat pale skin, and said thoughtfully, "You are so white, so let's call you Xiaobai."

"It seems like a dog's name."

"You said you asked me to fetch it for you."

"Row."

"Oh," the black-haired young man held his big face and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "Xiaobai."

The man responded in a low voice, so Lando became very satisfied, he felt that he had finally found a fellow of his kind on this boat, and he always felt that Xiaobai didn't look like an ordinary person, and he looked like a serious fisherman when he looked upright. He's a guy who's okay with so many whips, and you can tell he's in good shape just by looking at the half of his face outside the bandages... If you throw it on the Sheath, Raymond That pervert should like this kind of person—hey, why did you think of him again?Bah, bah, bah, good luck.

For some reason, after the man in front of him took the whip for himself, Dill assigned him to work in the kitchen with him. This made Lando feel that he was an "old man" in a sense. According to the rules on the ship, the old sailor had to take Like a novice sailor, he has an obligation to take good care of Xiao Bai.

Seeing the faintly bleeding scars on Xiaobai's back, Lando made up his mind without much hesitation.

"noob."

The man was silent for a while, as if he wasn't very used to the name, after a long while, he raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Huh?"

"Does the wound still hurt? I'll ask Dill to get you some medicine later?"

"It doesn't hurt, don't look for him." The man lowered his eyes again and said calmly, "He is not a good person."

Lando nodded, and looked down at Xiaobai signing the prostitution contract thrown by the second person. He didn't seem to be very good at writing. The posture he picked up the pen looked awkward, and the words he wrote were crooked. Lando waited patiently. After he finished writing, he didn't laugh at his earthworm-like words. He took back the deed of sale and rolled it up carefully, ready to give it to Dill later. When he was halfway through the roll, he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly raised his head and asked Xiao Bai with twinkling eyes. : "I've been talking for a long time, but I still don't know how you got under the bottom of the Mora ship!"

"Going out to sea during the day, the sun is bright, and I fell asleep on the boat." Xiaobai replied concisely, "When I woke up, I was already drifting far away from the coast. At night, the wind and waves were also strong. The boat couldn't go back, and it was overturned again. I was in a daze. I was swept under this ship—you said this is the Mora? A pirate ship?"

"You didn't realize it until you signed the contract? I said why are you so calm?" Lando asked with a smile, "Now you are also a pirate."

"How is it possible?" Xiaobai raised his hand and touched the rough mask on his face, "I can't be a pirate."

"There's nothing I can't do, and I can't be a pirate, but I was forced to sign a sell-off - if this gets to Raymond's ears, I'm dead."

"Who is Raymond?"

"A vile, nasty, ungrateful person who would hang me up and beat me first if he threw me on this boat and wouldn't come to save me—and would probably go back if he did."

Lando answered without hesitation.

Standing up, he didn't look at the expression on the face of Xiaobai who was sitting aside at the moment. The black-haired young man told him to wait for him in the cabin for a while, and when he handed over his deed of sale to Dill, he would arrange a room for him. If possible, he would get some simple hemostatic medicine and bandages for him without disturbing Dill as much as possible. Xiaobai nodded quietly, watching the black-haired young man leave the narrow cabin, when the door It was closed with a bang, and the man withdrew his eyes and lowered his eyes. The flickering kerosene lamp in the cabin illuminated those blue pupils flickeringly, making it difficult to see the emotion in his eyes...

Xiao Bai waited in the cabin alone for a few minutes.

During the period, there were curious pirates peeking at the window to see if he was still alive, but the man didn’t say anything and raised his eyelids a little, and they all scared them away—after a while, they seemed to feel that being scared was very enjoyable Yes, and slammed back to the window again——so when Lando was walking back with a large pile of bandages, a half bottle of rum he had snatched from Dill, and some cheapest hemostatic powder, he glanced at I saw the pirates lying on the window of the small cabin, looking in with their buttocks pouted. The group of guys watched for a while, and then, as if they saw some ferocious animals, they all let out a burst of exclamation, "Aww!" They dispersed in a crowd, with the excitement of "I was frightened" on everyone's face...

are you crazy.

The corners of Lando's lips twitched, and he grabbed a pirate who ran away waving his arms: "What are you doing?"

The pirate cast a sideways glance at the black-haired young man: "Is that you? Oh, let me tell you, the one our captain rescued tonight must not be an ordinary person—that fierce one, on par with the captain."

Lando was taken aback, and asked, "Did he yell at you?"

The pirate shook his head and said, "No, just stare at us."

Lando laughed, disbelieving: "How is it possible, he behaves like a big cat."

"I'll believe in the big tiger." The pirate shook off Lando impatiently, "Do you want to take him away? If you don't take him away, let's play heartbeat for a while."

Lando let her go speechlessly and turned his head to look. As expected, the pirates who had dispersed just now poked their heads out from all directions, and approached the cabin in a sneaky manner with light steps.

Lando: "..."

I have long heard that ordinary pirates are so bored that birds can fade out of their mouths when they are not "working". It seems that this is really not a bluff. Look at this group of pirates, they are all sick from idleness. .

"Don't play, don't play." The black-haired young man hugged a bunch of things, pushed open the door of the cabin with his shoulders, and the pirates around him held their breath subconsciously, as if hoping that the people in the room would be young because of the black hair. When the man jumped out and bit his neck off with this movement, he saw the man standing in front of the cabin door unscathed, and said to the man, "Come out, Dill said there are not many cabins left, so you should pay attention to me first."

Hearing this, the man sitting in the cabin stood up. Because he was too tall, his head accidentally hit the shaky kerosene lamp and made a soft "bang". Deng -- that clumsy movement made Lando smile so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. Seeing him laughing so hard that his eyes became slits, Xiaobai seemed a little annoyed. He muttered "What are you laughing at?" Take everything you wear.

Under the silent stares of the pirates outside the cabin, the two were sent back to the cabin that Dill mercifully rewarded Lando.

In fact, it is a lounge that is not much bigger than the temporary cabin before. There is only one bed in it. The bed is neither too big nor too small. It is quite spacious for Lando to sleep on himself. If Xiaobai is added, it may be a bit cramped.

"I paved the floor tonight," Lando said.

"No need," Xiaobai glanced at him, and put the things on the only wooden table in the cabin besides the bed, "Sleep together."

"I'm afraid of squeezing your wound."

"I sleep outside." Xiao Bai said, "Sleep on my side."

Lando had nothing to say. At this moment, he saw Xiaobai reach for the rum on the table, opened the bottle cap and seemed to want to drink it, so he quickly reached out to stop him and said, "It's not for drinking, it's used to disinfect the wound on your back. What to drink, there is light beer outside, drink that when you are thirsty."

Xiaobai frowned, as if he wasn't very interested in the suggestion of "drinking beer". This little picky behavior made Lando accidentally call out some scumbag, and that guy doesn't like drinking light beer too much. He also wondered how anyone in the world would like to drink this kind of drink that tasted like horse urine - thinking of this, Lando couldn't help grinning, and Xiao Bai, who was cleaning and disinfecting his own wound, turned his head and asked him why he was laughing , Lando said: "Let me tell you a joke, just the ruthless and mean villain I told you before, hey, he also hates drinking beer, and he said that beer tastes like horse urine— —Hahahahahaha, he didn't want to think about how he didn't drink horseship.

noob:"……"

Lando: "Is it funny?"

Xiaobai twitched the corners of his lips and replied, "It's okay."

While talking, the man showed a helpless expression, then lowered his head and continued to treat his injury—Lando saw that he was clumsy, so he reached out to help together, and waited for the two to quickly wrap the bandage on , it was late at night, and after a night of frightening, Lando was also exhausted, so he washed himself casually and fell on the bed to sleep. In a daze, he only felt that Xiao Bai really went to bed with him, but The man carefully slept on his side on the outside, during which time he bluntly put the hand on his waist that seemed heavy because it was too firm.

Lando pushed the arm away.

Xiaobai came up again.

Push it away again.

Come on again.

Push it away again.

This time, the man seemed to be impatient at last. He stretched out his hand to clasp the waist of the black-haired young man and pressed it into his arms. He heard the other person's back hit his chest and let out a slight protest of "uh" in a daze. In the darkness, he slightly raised the corners of his lips, and then he closed his eyes and fell asleep as if quite satisfied.

……

a few days later.

Cook Defes has been recuperating in the hospital cabin. According to the ship doctor, he was not seriously injured, but he drank too much seawater that day and vomited it all up. It might be bad for his stomach or kidneys. Great, he has been in a semi-drowsy state for many days in a row, with a persistent high fever, and if the boat doesn't dock, he may also be doomed.

And Lando, jumping into the sea to rescue someone who shouldn't be rescued, ended up being promoted from a slave to a cook, taking up a big vacancy on the ship. It's a good thing to take advantage of the mistake even if the whole body is intact? !This is totally unscientific!So, there were one or two people who secretly ran to Dill's place, making insinuations that this matter could not be resolved, which might cause everyone's complaints. Regarding this, the captain of the Mora was very calm: "I'm not happy that he didn't make a fuss." No injury? You beat him—oh, afraid of the little white next to him? Who told you that you couldn’t beat him—you won’t be punished for breaking the ship’s rules? I don't care who it is—you can develop a revolutionary comrade who is willing to be whipped for you if you have the ability?"

Dill's words sounded extremely unreasonable.

But on board, the captain's words are the standard of truth.

But no matter how Dill is the "standard of reason", it can't stop some people from eagerly looking for things to do for Lando—if they can't find a breakthrough to balance their hearts from the captain, the pirates on the deck will naturally make up their minds. It hit Lando himself on the head. These days, he asked him insinuatingly if he had any problems with the captain on the Zizez. Lando himself was also a gangster. I could guess what these people wanted to say, so I told them with a half smile: I am not familiar with it.

With such a lukewarm answer, the guys on the deck would certainly not be satisfied.

So one day, when Lando was numbly distributing food to those weird-looking pirates like feeding pigs in a pigsty, he suddenly heard a cry from behind the line next to the wine barrel The cry of the mother... the movement of distributing food paused, and the black-haired young man raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter? Whose mother died?"

As soon as the words fell, a pirate with a swollen face and an unlucky look rushed up. He covered his mouth with one hand, blood was still gushing out between his fingers, and he was holding a bag with the other hand. A long, rusty iron nail——Lando took a closer look, it was the kind used to fix wine barrels, but before he could speak, he heard the pirate say, "You're fucking in the fruit!" Didn’t pick out all the nails, did they deliberately want to kill us?!”

The fruits on the ship, such as pineapples, are first inserted with a few iron nails and other iron utensils for a night before eating. This is a simple and rude way to supplement iron for the crew. I don’t know who invented it. , in short, everyone is using it.

Naturally, Lando would not be so stupid as to cut the fruit and forget to pull out the nails—the nails are also very expensive, okay?

She moved her lips and was about to speak when she suddenly felt her arm being pulled. Before she could turn her head, she heard a deep and hoarse voice sounding close at hand: "Wine barrel nails."

Lando raised his eyelids, knowing that the person talking to him was Xiaobai, he nodded with a smile and said "I know"——Xiaobai's voice was low and his words were vague, and the pirates couldn't hear what he said , but Lando's voice was not too high or low, just enough for the pirates in front of them to hear, so the guy immediately blew his hair: "You know? You know why the hell don't take it out! Sure enough, it was on purpose Yes! I'm going to tell the captain! You irresponsible fellow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced around at the pirates on the surrounding deck—at first, everyone was stunned and didn't react, but soon, they suddenly realized, and they booed together. There was no acting skills at all. Lando couldn't help but laugh, and was about to ask the pirate what he wanted, but he didn't expect that this guy had already smashed an empty wine barrel over his face!

——It’s not that this group of people has forgotten Cook Defes who is still lying in the medical room at this moment, but that on the ship, as long as no one is killed, it is not considered a “private fight”, the pirates call it "Fist and leg exchange"——Lando bent down, trying to avoid the oncoming attack, but he didn't expect that the big hand that was already grasping his arm suddenly pulled him behind him!

When Lando staggered back and stood firm, he took a closer look and saw that Xiao Bai, who was standing behind him, had already rushed out—I saw him punching the nose of the bloody pirate with a solid left hook. , so the blood-red blood sprayed out from his nostrils, and merged with the blood dripping from his mouth to form a vast ocean. When the pirate wailed and retreated, more pirates rushed up clamoring...

Instead, Lando was pushed outside by the crowd.

I can't squeeze in if I want to.

I saw Xiaobai was surrounded by a group of pirates. Whether it was one person, two people or three or four together, the men seemed to be able to bend down, dodge, sweep their legs, punch their fists, and none of the attacks failed!

This is a world that pays attention to violence, and the shy-looking man who has been "raised" by Lando as a big cat has the absolute right to speak violently.

When a pirate pounced on him from behind, he bent down as if he had eyes on his back. The latter missed nothing, and then reached out to pull the mask and bandages on his face. The man couldn't dodge, and was really caught. He touched the edge of the bandage, and pulled it down to a length of about ten centimeters, revealing the skin underneath, but before anyone could see what was going on, immediately, he saw the blue eyes A cold and sharp light flashed in the middle, and in the next second, he directly lifted a pirate who looked serious with one hand and threw his feet into the air, and smashed it hard on the deck. The hard deck actually issued a "squeak!" "There was an unbearable loud noise, and accompanied by the pirate's crying for his father and mother, people could clearly see that a small hole had been smashed out on the deck!

Lando opened his mouth, dumbfounded.

After the blow, no one dared to step forward seeing the pirate who was knocked unconscious on the ground.

The man standing in the middle of the encirclement raised his hand, wiped the corners of his lips that were slightly bruised from being accidentally hit by a fist and kick, and glanced lightly at the pirates around him—everyone backed away; when the man Taking a step forward, the crowd automatically separated silently, making way for him.

Lando stood at the end of the road, watching Xiaobai walking towards him, patted the head of the black-haired young man who had been stunned in place, and messed up the soft black hair.

"I am here."
