First mate is not easy

After the incident on the deck, Xiaobai really did as he said, he followed Lando wherever he went, sticky like nougat, making people lose their temper.

The only downside is that because men always follow behind him, everyone is afraid of him, and the pirates on the ship are also jealous of Lando's good job as a cook, so they have to engage in childish cold violence if they can't beat him. For several days, Lando failed to dig out any information from anyone, such as where they planned to dock at the next stop, or whether they planned to do another vote in the near future——

According to Lando's thinking, if Raymond is not blind, he should already know that there is one less person on board.

Well, even if he was really a wolf and didn't pay attention at all, Dill's eagle should have passed on the message "Lando is taking money from me in exchange" to him at this moment - the best evidence is that the eagle After he left, he never came back. It was probably because Raymond ripped off his hair and made a boiled eagle and teeth sacrifice.

So now, according to Lando's familiarity with Raymond, the man should have started sending people to inquire about his whereabouts and status - such as whether he is dead or alive. More or less, it will be spread to Raymond's ears through the nautical guild. No matter how unreliable that guy is, he will not watch Dill kidnap the "future captain" of the Seaz under his nose.

——For his own face, he can't do this either.

At least Lando thought so.

On this day, the weather was fine, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue, and there were seagulls flying overhead.

Lando squatted in the kitchen, opened the large vat of flour, and found that there was not much flour left in it, and most of the remaining bottom of the vat was damp and moldy, and he could barely eat it for another day or two. If you still want to die, you really can’t eat it—this kind of thing is very common at sea. After a long voyage, not to mention pirate ships, even merchant ships that specialize in transporting supplies may face the dilemma of lack of water and food... Lando was wondering if he could use this as an excuse to probe Dill again, when he suddenly felt someone pat him behind him.

He froze for a moment, turned his head, and looked into a pair of blue eyes.

Xiaobai: "You've been restless recently, what's the matter?"

Lando told Xiaobai long ago that he was forced to stay on this ship, but he didn't tell his specific origin. At this moment, his eyes rolled around in his sockets, he put down the lid of the flour tank in his hand, and said : "I'm anxious, why haven't the people from my fleet come to rescue me - just like you, I don't want to be a pirate, I've thought about it before, when I can get out of here, I will take you away with me .”

Xiao Bai raised the corners of his lips—the half of his face exposed under the bandage was really pretty: "In that fleet, can you make the decision to keep me?"

"Because there is a particularly mean creature active on that boat, so—no." Lando replied honestly, "But I will try my best to convince him to let you stay."

"Who is that?"

"Mate."

"You have trouble with the first mate of your fleet?"

What's this?When the captain was alive, the captain also had trouble with me.Lando seemed to be a little irritated and pulled his hair, realizing that he was really going to be a hindrance to himself. Under such circumstances, he suddenly thought of his father who had already become pigtailed - if he knew that his son is currently in a Working as a cook on a pirate ship might revive him.

Lando sighed: "There's nothing wrong with it, he's just naturally mean, and when people are unhappy, he's happy."

Xiaobai: "...Is it so excessive?"

Lando waved his hand: "The world is so big, there are no surprises."

Xiaobai raised his hand, helped the mask on his face, turned around, his voice sounded a little calmer than before: "Such a mean person, how can you be sure that he will come to save you?"

Lando was taken aback when he heard this, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to end this topic—but when he found that he was more relaxed in front of someone he didn't know so well, he smiled wryly and muttered something vaguely, then bent back. waist, grabbed a large pot, and added wine, tea, lemon slices, and various spices casually into it, until the pot gave off a smell that was close to dark cooking, and he took it Take a big spoon to smash the contents of the pot-this is a fixed drink that the crew is required to drink every day on the ship, which can prevent various diseases, such as leukemia or rickets.

Xiao Bai heard the black-haired young man speak, but couldn't hear clearly, so he turned his head and asked him, "What did you say?"

"I said, although that person is against me and looks down on me, he is a man who keeps his promise." Lando replied casually without raising his head, "He promised my father to take care of me, and he also promised that my father would definitely watch Hold me until I fulfill my father's last wish, so he will rescue me and must rescue me."

After Lando finished speaking, there was a faint sour feeling in his heart—but the feeling came and went quickly, and he didn't even have time to grasp it, and it disappeared in a flash—from the beginning to the end, his voice could be heard He looked very calm, as if he didn't care whether Raymond would come to save him, and because of something like saving him...

The last conversation between the two of them was not so pleasant.

Hearing this, Xiaobai turned his head and glanced at the black-haired young man beside him who was moving mechanically and was messing with the pot of dark cooking as if he had lost his soul. He narrowed his blue pupils slightly, but thought He asked, "What is your father's last wish?"

Lando snorted: "It's a pity from the old man—I don't know if you've heard that there is a mysterious island in the Babylon Sea, and only people who have experienced disasters at sea and encountered tornadoes will be taken to On that island, there are all kinds of beautiful things on the island, singing and dancing, and countless gold and silver treasures. The people on the island do not belong to any country in the world, and no matter men, women, old or young, everyone is very good at water and everyone picks it out individually. Excellent navigator--well, someone went to that island once and left a ship there."

"The fastest and most powerful ship in the world, surpassing modern shipbuilding technology - that is my father's ship."

"Your father's ship?"

"That's right, I don't know if he suffered from hallucinations in his later years or if there is such a thing." Lando clicked his tongue, shook his head and said, "He thinks he really has such a god-given ship hidden in it. On the god-given island, let me find it—and the first mate of our fleet promised him to accompany me to find this ship."

"What happens after you find it?"

"It's boring to look at each other, and you will finally be relieved, and it will be separated in one shot."

"..."

Lando sighed, retracted his gaze from afar, buried his head, and continued to work on dark cooking—he heard Xiaobai behind him sneer heartlessly, but didn't look back—then the black-haired young man I didn't see it. At this time, the man who was leaning lazily against the stove with his tall body leaning sideways, weighing a piece of fruit in his hand suddenly paused, and the laziness in those blue pupils was swept away. , turned around, and accurately picked out a furry thing from behind a certain steamer.

That thing stared at a pair of black, round eyes, and there was a coquettish little flower pinned to its ear. When it looked at the man's blue pupils, it seemed to see some kind of devil. First, He was stunned for a moment and then suddenly struggled crazily!

The man smiled lazily, stretched out his finger, and pressed it against his thin lips to make silent movements, then turned his wrist lightly, and swung the little furry hamster in his hand— —

Lando, with his back to the man, heard a "boom", something fell into the sea and made a sound of water - the black-haired young man stopped fiddling, turned around and asked inexplicably that he was holding a pineapple without the head and leaves behind him. Research on how to deal with the man: "What voice?"

"It's nothing." The man raised the bare pineapple full of iron nails in his hand to signal, "The rotten leaves that were peeled off are just thrown away."

Lando nodded without doubting him, turned around and continued to do his own thing, thought for a while, then turned his head as if he suddenly remembered something and said: "What I told you just now, don't tell others—let that bitter and mean person The first mate knows, and he'll break my leg."

Xiaobai was silent for a long time, narrowed his eyes slightly, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, don't tell others."

……

Lando sent Xiaobai to distribute the finished dark cooking drink to the pirates on the deck—because he had a deep resentment today, the dark cooking was also darker. I'm drinking nails again", leaned out half of my body and said lazily: "What are you talking about, don't you get tired of playing with the same stalk? Isn't this for you to replenish iron? You still know how to pull out the pineapple. Lick twice."

After finishing speaking, he retracted and slammed the kitchen window, shutting out the continuous shouting and cursing on the deck.

He was going to prepare Uncle Dill's supper.

Flour and other staple foods were already moldy, and the picky old man probably didn't want to eat them, so Lando walked around the small kitchen alone, and finally dragged out a whole lot of the only thing that was considered fresh in the kitchen—— The fish that the sailors caught from the nets this morning were thick, thin, long, short, and strangely shaped. The black-haired young man pinched a few of them without even thinking about it, and tidied them up neatly.

These days, after seeing Lando's "cooking skills" that he can't do anything but fish, Xiaobai actually cooks and eats, and Lando has become the one to help.

But now that the only food left on the boat is fish, it doesn't matter who will cook the food.

Moreover, Lando is good at cooking fish, fried, boiled, fried, grilled, and the same fish can be cooked in different ways for him. After a while, the whole small kitchen is filled with the smell of grilled fish. Lando himself took the tested fish and put it on the plate. The fresh sea fish was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. He cut it open with a dagger and squeezed it with lemon juice. The sour smell spread, making people salivate Both accelerate secretion.

Lando felt that he was a qualified cook.

Until he brought his favorite work in front of Uncle Dill, and then Dill smeared the plate of fish back on his face.

Yes, that's right.

The tragedy that had played out on the Sheets was repeated once again.

Lando once again fought with his immediate superior for his proud "whole fish feast"——

"What's wrong with you? Raymond doesn't eat fish, even if you don't eat fish! Do you have a crush on him, and learn from all the bad things!!!!"

"Fuck your mother, Master Dill doesn't eat fish, who in the Babylon Sea doesn't know!!"

"Oh, it seems that my ancestral home is from Mai Zehai next door—I don't know! Sorry! You don't have any food on board! You don't go to shore! Grill your hamster! You bastard!"

"Who are you calling a bastard! Deduct your salary, feed you to sharks, let you hang the mast and float in the wind! You bastard!"

……

In the end, amidst the earth-shattering, Xiaobai, who was still asking questions on the deck, took Lando away in a scuffle. When he forcibly separated Lando and Dill, the two were struggling Dill stepped on a chair and held up the other chair. One of Lando's shoes disappeared. He was holding a sardine in his hand and pointed at Dill as if he was holding a gun. Er's face clamored, "If you have the ability, you smash it"——

With a helpless expression on his face, Xiaobai picked up the black-haired young man by the waist and put him directly on his shoulders, and forcibly left the captain's lounge.

During this period, Lando resisted in various ways, but to no avail.

When they both returned to the kitchen, Xiaobai put down the black-haired young man—and threw it on the ground in a somewhat rude manner. When the black-haired young man patted and rubbed his sore butt, Seemingly worried that the black-haired young man would snatch the door and fight Dill desperately, he turned around and locked the kitchen door...

Just when he fixed the latch, he suddenly heard the black-haired young man behind him say in a very regretful voice: "I don't want to eat such a delicious fish. The fish I cook is the best in the Babylonian Sea—"

The man's face hidden under the bandage showed a complicated expression.

Just when he readjusted his emotions and turned around with a paralyzed face, he almost bumped into the black-haired young man who was very close to him at this moment. At this moment, the latter held a On the plate with two grilled fish, said in a sincere voice——

"Forget it, Xiaobai, these fish are all for you to eat, don't waste them!"
