Chapter 4 Eat well

In the "mouse hole", Lao Yu waited anxiously, five minutes after Ma Shuo left, Lao Yu has been restless, every four or five minutes he opened a crack in the door, carefully observing the direction of Ma Shuo's departure.

The kid hadn't stolen anything alone for more than a year, and at most he was keeping an eye on himself outside. Although Ma Shuo has shown a maturity that he has never experienced since escaping from that home that no longer exists, in the eyes of Lao Yu, he is still the child who needs his own protection.

I don't even have a timekeeping tool on my body now, but judging by my feelings, it will take at least half an hour!

The storm at sea came and went quickly, and the whole ship shook too violently just now, and the dizziness was not tenable at all, and in just half an hour, I could clearly feel much better!

"No! It's been too long!" Thinking of this, Lao Yu pushed open a crack in the door again, and saw that there had been no seafarers passing by in the corridor outside for a long time?

As for the order, hey! Compared to the safety of the little master, it's not a fart! This is not an army, so why do you need any orders to prohibit it?

Taking a deep breath and gently pushing open a crack in the door again, no one was there! After holding his breath and waiting for a moment, there was still no movement, Lao Yu quickly pushed the door out, put his steps to the lightest, and chased away in the direction that Ma Shuo left as fast as possible.

Just turned the corner, and collided with a black shadow that was much shorter than himself. Then there was an "ouch", and more than a dozen steamed buns were scattered on the ground.

At a glance, the figure who immediately wanted to turn around and run away after being knocked down was Ma Shuo, who had not returned for a long time, and hurriedly lowered his voice and greeted: "Young master, it's me!"

Packed up the food on the ground and returned to the "mouse hole", the two of them were greatly relieved, looked at the excited child in front of them and smiled, picked up a steamed bun and ate it in a big gulp.

As soon as I took the first bite, before I chewed it, I saw that Ma Shuo didn't eat it, but looked at him with a smile, and the look of invitation on his face was unreservedly revealed.

Gently putting down the fragrant food in his hand, Lao Yu wondered, "Young Master, what are you?"

Ma Shuo smiled and patted his round belly and picked up two steamed buns and put them in Lao Yu's hands: "Hehe, in order to get more, I came back when I was full, and I also brought this for my grandfather!"

As he spoke, his right hand mysteriously reached into his arms, took out an oiled paper bag the size of an adult's palm and opened it, but in an instant, the small space was filled with the smell of fragrant meat.

"Chicken legs?" Old Yu, who also didn't know the taste of meat for a year, swallowed a mouthful of saliva in a daze, and asked rhetorically.

Ma Shuo's face was a little blushing, as if it was the first time he had made such a move, he stuffed the chicken leg into the hand of Lao Yu, who was sitting in front of him, and explained: "Well, grandpa finds me food every day, and now Ma Shuo can also find food for grandpa!"

Feeling the oiliness and softness in his hands, Lao Yu woke up from his sluggishness and hurriedly wanted to return the chicken legs to Ma Shuo's hands. It's just that this kind of action was instantly dodged by Ma Shuo, who had a premonition in advance, holding the doorknob with one hand and making a gesture of wanting to run out, refusing: "Grandpa eats, grandpa eats, Ma Shuo ate it in the kitchen, this is specially brought to grandpa!"

In an instant, Lao Yu's vision became blurry, and then tears began to flow. While retracting the chicken leg in his hand and taking a bite hard, with the tender and delicious chicken in his mouth, he kept muttering: "The young master has grown up!

The most scarce thing at sea is never food, but fresh water and fresh plant food, there is no meat to fish, and all the freshest seafood, and the inexhaustible sea life is an endless storehouse of food.

But without fresh fruits and vegetables, scurvy can quickly set in, and any tiny bleeding can lead to death.

The lack of water is even more dangerous, most of the human body is made up of water, and most physiological reactions require the participation of water to carry out. The salt content in the sea is too high, and if you drink too much, the human body will die of reverse water loss, so any transoceanic ship must bring its own or be able to produce fresh water at any time!

So this time, Ma Shuo followed the seafarer's advice, and in addition to storing food for a long time and being hungry, he also took some fruits and fresh water, which really opened his eyes to Ma Shuo, who was far away from the mainland for the first time!

Fortunately, the bathroom is not far from where they live, so if you are careful, you don't have to worry about being found out. There is no need to worry about this, and the black-hearted captain of the two of them will affect the credibility of the Mary, reminding that in order to prevent the two of them from being discovered by someone with a heart, they will naturally take the initiative to avoid being seen.

There are about two days left on the journey to Xizhou, and in the case of sufficient food, the two of them can sleep well every day in order to be low-key enough and not take the initiative to enjoy the charming sea.

Only in the dead of night will they take turns to be alert to the danger of being discovered by the crew, and go out of the "rat hole" to let the wind out. Perhaps for the average person, this may be considered torture and abuse, but after being hunted down for more than a year, this is their paradise!

As the housekeeper of the Ma family, who specializes in taking care of the little master, Lao Yu's skills are good, otherwise it would be impossible for them to escape for more than a year. It's just that I can't teach my children the military kung fu of a hard bridge and a hard horse for the time being, it's too young! If you go to school at the age of five or six, you will definitely hurt your muscles and bones, and I'm afraid this is also the most regrettable place for Lao Yu!

It's safe now and even in the future, let's find a way to let the young master learn something more useful! The art of scheming and doing business can match what the young master will do in the future, and there will be others to do it!

The storm had passed, and it was almost early in the morning, the darkest hour of the day, perhaps because the storm had consumed the rain clouds in the sky, and the stars were shining brightly in the sky.

The crew and passengers were already asleep from exhaustion, and except for a few posts that had to be manned, only a third of the night patrols remained.

Lao Yu cautiously walked around, and after letting off steam, he went back to rest after changing out of Ma Shuo. But Xiao Ma Shuo was relatively bold, quietly came to the very edge of the side deck of the ship, took off his pants and shushed at the sea, and looked up at the bright moon and starry sky above his head.

"Little Hanako!

Suddenly, the greeting from the side and back startled Ma Shuo, and he hurriedly turned his head vigilantly with his pants half-raised, ready to escape at any time.

"It's you, big brother?" After seeing who it was, Ma Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he lifted his pants after releasing the remaining half of the shhh, and ran over quickly holding on to the thick railing.
