CHAPTER XXV
At this time, Du Yuqi and Xi have of course been dressed up, Du Yuqi is dressed as a middle-aged man, and even thanks, his head is shiny, carrying a half-old elk leather suitcase, wearing tan suspenders, and a jacket, as if he is a middle-level businessman who has been running around for many years.

Xi changed into a floral skirt and wrapped her head in a plaid turban, looking like a shy and recently away daughter to outsiders, snuggling up to her father like a frightened little elk.
With the sound of the whistle, the four huge steamers on both sides of the steamship began to rotate slowly, sinking deep into the water, and then stirred up a large number of white splashes, and under the strong impetus of the paddle wheel, the seemingly somewhat bulky giant ship began to resolutely leave the dock and drive downstream in the muddy water.
Because Lin and Jett had never been exposed to the enemy, they did not go together, but stayed behind to clean up the traces for the two of them, and after doing these things, they rushed to the fixed place to meet.
So after the boat sailed, Du Yuqi and Xi returned to the cabin, because they had a lot of secrets, so when buying tickets, they chose the most expensive special class cabin that can ensure private space, in addition to having a separate room and bathroom, there is also a very mini small balcony, which can only allow two people to sit and drink coffee.
Of course, the furnishings in the room are also very simple, a small brown round table made of beech wood, with a little scorch marks on it, obviously many passengers like to put their pipes on it, and the corners of the bed and stool are wrapped with soft rubber, because the ship is sailing on the water, it is difficult to ensure that there is no sudden violent turbulence, once the passenger loses his center of gravity and falls, his head touches the edges and corners is quite fatal.
Although the curtains are spun with cheap silk mixed with cotton, and I don't know how long I haven't washed them, the feel is still very soft, and the shading and privacy are still very good.
Then Du Yuqi carefully searched the room again, and found that there was a door on the wall on the right, but this door should be used for emergency escape, and it could be locked from their side, so he didn't care too much.
Then Du Yuqi hid behind the curtain, paying close attention to the shore, until the boat left the shore, then let out a long breath, sat down on the bed at once, and then fell down very simply, showing a "big" shape, and closed his eyes.
At this time, his mind was blank, as if the computer had just been formatted, and everything was completely deleted, and after a while, he let out a slight snoring sound, because he was so tired, this was not only the crazy consumption of physical strength, but also the sequelae of overuse of the brain.
Xi sat cross-legged next to him, opened his eyes after a while, stood up and walked to the bed, looked at Du Yuqi's face seriously, listened to his even breathing, and suddenly there was something called warmth in his heart, and then he was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he opened the quilt next to him and covered Du Yuqi.
When Du Yuqi woke up again, he found that it was already nightfall, the room was very dark, there were no candles, and the water vapor on the river kept rushing in from the window, so the air that was originally very turbid became very fresh, and even because of the sunset, there was a faint fragrance of lotus flowers, it was precisely because of this that Du Yuqi felt that the quality of his previous nap was very good, and the whole person was refreshed as if he had been reborn.
"I'm really sorry, I actually fell asleep, how long have I been asleep?" Du Yuqi yawned, and then said to Xi Dao, who was sitting next to him.
At this time, in Du Yuqi's impression, she sat there and practiced on the eve of falling asleep, and it seemed that she had not moved the nest at all, but this was obviously an illusion, and the quilt on her body should have been covered by her.
After listening to Du Yuqi's questioning, Xi said:
"You've been asleep for five hours, and it's past ten o'clock in the evening. ”
"Ahh
Xi seemed to shake her head a little aggrieved:
"No, I don't. ”
Du Yuqi sighed and said:
"Actually, you don't have to stay here to keep guarding me, this ship should be quite safe for a short time, according to my calculations, even if the other party can catch up with us in time, at least at dawn tomorrow. ”
Xi sighed softly and said:
"I didn't go to dinner because I didn't have any money....... Our ticket only included the cost of accommodation, and I was not in the habit of bringing money with me, so it was even more impossible to bring money when I escaped from the court. ”
Du Yuqi:
"Embarrassment...... Okay okay, it's my fault,"
Although the dinner time was over for more than three hours, Du Yuqi still had a good way, and the tip of half a silver coin made the chef happily rekindle the stove, although there were only two dishes and a soup, but the portion was very large, and a bottle of potato wine was also delivered, which tasted average, but had a unique rich fragrance, and could also speed up the flow of blood and speed up the expulsion of fatigue from the journey.
Xi doesn't seem to be very accustomed to eating one of the dishes, tomato and garlic grilled chicken, but the other dish of wheat baked pork knuckle is eaten with relish, and the mushroom cream soup is slightly greasy to drink directly, but it is delicious to eat with a croissant, and the crispy bread crust with the filling of the bread that absorbs the soup makes it easy to fill the belly.
At this time, Du Yuqi realized that Xi's appetite was also very good, and she also liked to suck the fingers of the bread when she was eating, like a little gluttonous cat, which made Master Xi, who usually seemed very indifferent, add a bit of human taste, and even Xi also noticed Du Yuqi's smiling gaze, of course she knew that there was something wrong with her eating appearance, so she couldn't help but roll her eyes, this kind of little daughter's state of mind is not common for her.
In the end, the two of them achieved the "disc achievement", and even the soup of the wheat baked pork knuckle was dipped in bread, and the two of them ate a full portion of food for four people, no wonder the chef who came to the market did not have the right eyes.
After the cook who cleaned up the table went out, the room returned to a quiet environment, but it seemed that the roar of the steamship engine was more intense, which was the result of Du Yuqi and they booked the most expensive stateroom, if it was the cheapest travel ticket, the Chase shop was directly placed above the steamship engine, and there were only two thin decks between the two.
Du Yuqi extinguished the candle again, and then said to Xi:
"I suggest you take the time to rest for a while, because from now on, our chances of encountering the enemy will increase little by little, until finally it will increase to one hundred percent, and I personally don't think it will take more than sunrise tomorrow. ”
Yuki shook her head:
"I don't want to sleep, you rest first. ”
Du Yuqi fell back on the bed and closed his eyes, but after a few minutes, he sat up again with his stomach in his hands, and said with a bitter face:
"I ate too much and couldn't sleep. ”
However, he soon saw that there seemed to be a tool for grinding coffee next to him, and his eyes suddenly lit up:
"Let's have some tea and eat. ”
After a while, two cups of steaming tea were placed in front of the two of them, the tea was fragrant, very fragrant, and Xi's eyes were also bright, and he couldn't help but say:
"What kind of tea are you brewing, and why is it so fragrant?"
Although there are also teas in the Arad continent, most of them are used together, such as honey tea, lemon tea, etc., and even more serious flavors include salted citrus tea, etc., such as the jasmine dragon ball that Du Yuqi brewed at this time is really extremely rare, and the slightly bitter fragrance is very suitable for the appetite, which suddenly made her even feel like she was hate to see each other.
Du Yuqi dipped the soup and ate bread before, but it was inevitable that he would feel thirsty because of the intake of a lot of salt, so at this time, he drank the tea to be a cup of success, and after a while, Du Yuqi felt a little anxious to go to the toilet.
Since they haven't slept yet, and as a man, Du Yuqi of course chooses to go outside the cabin to solve personal problems, and the toilet here is a small house, inside is a wooden board with a hole the size of a basin, but it is surprisingly clean and hygienic.
However, just when Du Yuqi walked to the toilet and opened his pants and began to shush, he suddenly saw that in the water below, there were actually two dark green eyes full of murderous intent, and his own bubble of urine was pulled in the center of these two little eyes!
Suddenly, there was a loud cry of rage from the water, and then I saw a figure crawling up with great speed, and actually stuck two knives into the hull of the steamship, as if climbing a ladder.
Immediately afterwards, this figure was a whirlwind, and then he saw the silver light shining, aiming at Du Yuqi's head and shrouding down, fortunately, it took a little time for this guy to rush up from below, so that Du Yuqi had time to put on his pants to avoid the embarrassment of "showing birds fighting".
At this time, Du Yuqi took the knife horizontally, and showed the skill of parrying, and immediately felt a shock in his hand, and then was repelled two or three steps, and then saw a tall fish man rushing up from below, this guy has no scales on his body, but the fish whiskers and gills on his lips are very obvious, and the hands are holding two silver long hooks!
