Chapter 2 The Sea

Ma Shuo and Lao Yu have never had a good night's sleep like today for more than a year.

Lying in a small space full of odors, even though there is a cold, hard metal floor beneath him. But from their senses, it was much better than the improvised shack that had been hidden in the garbage cans a day ago!

In addition, the whole ship will rise and fall with the fluctuations of the sea, and it will also be gently swaying as if it is in a cradle, except for the cold feeling under it, it is almost like returning to the arms of a new mother.

Turning a deaf ear to the hustle and bustle outside, because they are so tired, both mentally and physically, if they don't rest, I'm afraid that the string in their heads will soon break!

After falling into a deep sleep, time will always pass very quickly, in the blink of an eye night falls, and then in the blink of an eye or even late at night.

The nature of the sea is always fast and changeable, even with advanced weather prediction equipment, but in the face of nature, human beings are still too small.

The sky that was originally bright and starry was covered by dark clouds in just a minute or two.

The sea breeze that was fresh and salty just now turned its face and didn't recognize anyone in just a moment, mixed with drops of rain slapping on the deck, on the glass, and on the sea.

The next moment, the wind turned rapid, the rain was like a splash, a flash of light in the sky was fleeting, the "boom" rainstorm was wrapped in a strong wind, the hurricane pushed the waves, and the 100-meter steel ship was like a flat boat running lonely and helpless in the endless storm.

In the "rat hole", the two men who were knocked over in the corner by the suddenly rising waves suddenly woke up, and the two who thought that the pursuers had found the boat or encountered pirates and plundered immediately panicked.

Lao Yu stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Ma Shuo in his arms, and spread his legs to support the walls on both sides of the small room, so as not to fall to the ground again due to the inertia of violent shaking. The two of them even became cautious about breathing for a while, for fear that their existence would be discovered from outside.

It's just that in the shouts of the crew running back and forth outside the small iron gate, there is no disturbance about piracy and murder, just "The storm is coming! The headwind is up! All the passengers go back to their rooms to protect themselves!" and so on!

"Grandpa, we seem to be in a storm!" explained the pale, somewhat seasick little Mashuo, who was shaken violently by the ship.

After an unknown amount of rest, both of them recovered a lot, but after being awakened by this storm, hunger followed.

Lao Yu gently brushed Ma Shuo's bloodless lips because of seasickness and nodded: "Well, it's good if it's not a killer catching up, is Xiao Shuo hungry? Grandpa, there is still some dry food." ”

As he spoke, he reached for the rag bag behind his back with his free other hand, and opened it to see that the little dried steamed bun he had saved before getting on the boat had grown a little green mold due to the extremely humid air on the sea.

The two looked at the half of the dry steamed bun in Lao Yu's hand and swallowed their saliva, if they don't eat it, they will be hungry, and they may die if they eat it!

Just when Lao Yu reached out and broke off a little steamed bun that had never been moldy and handed it to Ma Shuo, he saw the little guy shake his head: "Grandpa, don't eat it, take advantage of the mess now, I'll go to the boat to steal some food!" Let's fill our stomachs first, and save the rest to get off the boat to eat!"

Stealing has become a norm in the previous year's escape career, maybe for others, this kind of thing will always be despised and spurned, but in order to live, just live under the almost constant pursuit!

If you don't give them even a month of stable time, then the so-called work becomes a joke!

How can this kind of thing allow the little young master to take risks alone? If something goes wrong, then what's the point of living by himself?

Just when Lao Yu wanted to refute, Ma Shuo added again: "Grandpa don't worry! After getting on the boat, I have already found the specific location of the kitchen while I went to the toilet! And I am small, so it is not easy to be found when I hide! As long as my grandfather opens the door for me immediately when I come back, otherwise it will arouse suspicion! Okay?"

Opening a gap, Ma Shuo lightly supported the wall and walked out of the small door, turned his head to Lao Yu and smiled, and without hesitation, he leaned on the wall beside him, and staggered into the crew who came and went.

Bumpy and shaking all the way, carefully hiding all the way, the advantage of being thin and short is unreservedly reflected.

Without being noticed by anyone, he turned around and turned onto the last path leading to the kitchen and dining room on this floor.

Proceed cautiously, ears pricked up, listening intently to the movements around you. The noise behind him gradually faded away and became blurred.

Except for some "clanging" collisions, this dark and quiet environment made Ma Shuo's heart beat faster and faster.

The anger of the sea without warning and without abating at all, combined with the act of stealing food alone for the first time, made Ma Shuo's heart more and more nervous, for fear that he would be discovered and thrown into this unknown and powerful ocean like a god!

"The restaurant has arrived!" Covering his mouth, he shook his head that was still unable to fully adapt to the violent bumps, and now there was nothing to vomit in his stomach, not even much stomach acid, he tried his best to control the desire to retch, rubbed his stomach that no longer felt hungry, Ma Shuo gently pushed open the door and walked in.

"Follow the left wall to the corner, turn right to the end, and then turn right four or five steps to the kitchen. "I didn't have any lighting equipment in my hand, and I was afraid that the crew would not dare to turn on the lights openly, so I had to follow the wall all the way to find out that this way was the safest.

The biggest feature of the sea ship is that the various decorations of the seats and benches are fixed in place, which is to prevent the loss of materials in stormy weather.

The sky of the sea is like a woman's face, and it is a fact that cannot be changed without knowing when.

Anyone who travels by sea knows that if the ancillary facilities on the ship are not fixed, it only takes a huge wave to hit, and the tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, vases, fish tanks and other items are guaranteed to fly everywhere.

While recalling the placement of various tables and chairs that I had memorized in my mind during the day, I carefully groped my way forward. Sometimes, I froze in place because of the crashing waves on the boat, so as not to fall and hurt myself! Finally, the galley arrived.

There was a "squeak", and the somewhat unlubricated doorshaft made a slight noise, only to be masked by a series of thunderbolts. Ma Shuo quickly entered the room and closed the door with his backhand, and then it was quiet again.

After making sure that there were no windows around the kitchen, he took off his long-smelling clothes, blocked the only round glass hole in the door behind him that could let in light, and barely fumbled for the light switch on the side.

Suddenly, the neat and clean galley of the sea ship was displayed in front of Ma Shuo.

However, the kitchen in front of him was not as empty as he had thought, and a young seafarer with half a chicken leg in his mouth was startled by the sudden light that turned on. "fluttering" The moment the two saw each other, they were so frightened that they immediately fell to the floor.

Almost at the same time, he asked the identity of the other party in a panic: "Who are you! What are you doing in the kitchen!"
