Chapter 56: Fake Run

From this day on, Xiao Qi began life on board.

Life on board is easy and enjoyable. Every day, Xiaoqi can ensure that he is full and poured, and it is needless to mention that he eats well and dresses well. Everywhere he went, he was called by someone; he occasionally went to the deck to look at the sea view and bask in the sun; when he had time, he would wander around the boat, from the deck to the cargo hold, from the servant's room to the animal barn, and if someone hadn't stopped him, he would dare to climb to the top of the mast to paint the bird's nest! In the evening, he would start a happy study time, and the New Oriental Otherworldly Fourth-level training class would be held; and if he had the opportunity, he would secretly practice the "Treasure Gourd Jue".

Under this kind of learning intensity, Xiao Qi's talent was gradually revealed: how could those who had been trained in exam-oriented education be afraid of this surprise training? His lingua franca skills in the other world naturally progressed rapidly, and he had mastered basic grammar and hundreds of words in only ten days; and after a month, he was already able to communicate with Lao Wang stammering.

It's not easy! When Xiao Qi greeted Lao Wang in the lingua franca for the first time, the housekeeper was almost moved to tears -- she really didn't expect that this little handsome guy was actually a scholar! He was worthy of being a young master who attaches equal importance to beauty and wisdom! This hard work was finally in vain, and the little handsome guy finally broke away from the ranks of illiteracy and smoothly entered a new stage of semi-literacy.

For a month, An Xiaoqi watched every day, and somehow, except for his own fleet, he didn't see any other ships on the sea. He didn't hold it back, and directly told the first mate his doubts. The first mate did not hide his secrets, and generously introduced: The Endless Sea is too big, and the route they take rarely passes through different continents, almost only between the main continent and E3002, so there are very few fleets passing through. And it's a good thing that you can't see other ships, but if you do, it's not necessarily good.

Sailing on the vast and endless ocean, it is not necessarily a good thing to see other ships? What kind of logic is this? Xiao Qi didn't know why, and when he asked again, the first mate smiled and didn't answer.

In addition to this, there is something strange about this ship - in the past month, Xiao Qi has not seen the captain once. Xiao Qi carefully observed and found that this captain was very mysterious, and the sailors kept him secret, and the chief mate usually handled all the affairs on the ship, and the captain could not see the head but the tail, and could not see the slightest trace of his scales and claws.

In a happy life, it's not a bad thing to be more mysterious, not to mention that these things are not of interest to Xiao Qi, just a little curious. However, there are always some things that are unfavorable, but cannot be changed, which can be called white and slightly flawed.

The first, and most important, was that the people around him were watching too closely, and he couldn't find a chance to enter the magic weapon space in the sea of knowledge to improve his qualifications! This made Xiao Qi very depressed, and made his heart that was eager to cultivate immortals suffer.

The second is that the ship's guards are constantly rotated, and the murderer, Aunt Linde, and the hook-nosed villain often dangle in front of his eyes, but he can't do anything about them. Xiao Qi hated it so much that his teeth were often itchy, which made the ambiguous flirting of the second lady Christine, intentionally or unintentionally, seem boring.

Third, during this month, the fleet encountered a strange event: a continent flew over the head of the fleet! According to Lao Wang, this is the new 'God Descending Continent', which, like E3002, will also fall in the endless sea and become an island continent starting with F. Xiao Qi saw it strange and asked more, but Lao Wang couldn't say much about where this kind of 'divine descent from the continent' came from and why it could fall from the sky into an island in the sea. Xiao Qi's curiosity was not satisfied, and he was very unhappy.

One day a month later, on the sea, the ship was speeding in the wind, like riding a garlic motorcycle, and the boy was running in the wind, like a happy puppy.

The young body brings a young mentality, Xiao Qi's heart is happy, and his state is surprisingly good. The cultivation of the "Treasure Formula" is extremely smooth, and the body is getting stronger and stronger day by day. Although he has not been officially measured, he is very confident, his strength is at least not below the ordinary women of the other world, and when converted to before the crossing, he alone can withstand at least one and a half strong men. As a fourteen-year-old boy who was new to Qigong, this was already a remarkable achievement, and in addition to that, he got along well with the people around him, and gained a few nodding acquaintances.

Every morning, when the sun rises above the sea level, An Xiaoqi also washes up, eats breakfast, and starts exercising. The sailors on the morning shift could see a beautiful boy dressed in a lean short costume, with a few children who were almost out of breath, running past their field of vision and greeting them kindly, so that everyone who worked on the deck knew that Master Cromwell of the Black Skylark House was a kind and handsome man, and he had no pretensions, and people were happy to communicate with him, and every time everyone would happily greet him and make small talk with him.

During the casual conversation between exercises, Xiao Qi gained more useful information, such as they have now sailed out of the E3002 time zone and began to enter the main mainland time zone, the day and night are shorter, and the day is only a dozen points in the day, and the perception is basically similar to that of the earth. This allowed Xiao Qi to stay away from the embarrassing situation of growing amazingly during the day and always having difficulty resting. As for why the length of the day changes, it is related to the conflict of laws, and the sailors are not clear.

While his body gradually became stronger, several attendants were overwhelmed, feeling that his body was hollowed out, and his nutrition was not as good as day by day. At first, they would forcibly follow the young master, running under the morning sun, but their weak physique determined that they could not follow for a long time, and at the same time, they themselves lacked the spirit of exercise, and they fell into the strange thinking that 'boys should be quiet and delicate' and could not extricate themselves, and their bodies ached a little, so they gave up. Especially the little fat man who has been engaged in special positions for a long time in the past, his body has almost collapsed at a young age, and he is panting like more than 500 pounds at a young age, and even An Xiaoqi can't bear to let him run anymore;

Several people quickly got lazy behind Steward Wang's back, and they stood in several places such as the sailor's cabin, animal barn, servant barn, and cargo hold in advance, prepared water and towels and other things, and only sat and waited for Xiao Qi to run through these places to serve conveniently, which saved them from the pain of fatigue.

In fact, looking at their weak appearance, it is time to exercise. Xiao Qi had carefully studied these children and inquired about their customs, and knew that even if boys were indeed weaker than girls in this world, they were not without outstanding qualifications and had embarked on the path of cultivation. In fact, even within the two major families, there have been male warriors. It's a pity that most men still hold the traditional inherent thinking, and would rather follow the literature than practice martial arts, and they give themselves the label of 'I won't practice, and it's useless to exercise' - you need to know that even if you can't officially enter the combat profession, it's always good to keep fit!

Since a few escorts were reluctant to exercise, Xiao Qi tried a few times, but he couldn't cheer them up, so he had to let them go. Seeing that they are so stubborn, I can't help but guess in my heart: in this situation, by extension, the life expectancy of men in this world must be much lower than that of women, and if there is a hospital in this world, then the number of men who go to the hospital is far more than that of women. 'Exercise more, get sick less', think it's fun?

Exercising should have been done on the deck: facing the wet sea breeze, the dazzling morning sun, looking at the sea level, running from bow to stern and from stern to bow, this kilometer long road is the most pleasant. But it's a pity that the sailors and guards on the deck are too enthusiastic! After a few days, Xiao Qi has a bunch of fans, just greeting and smiling all the way, and there are fanatical people who have to run with him, and their eyes are so eager that they almost want to eat people; it is not unacceptable that there are female fans, and the most important thing is that these fans are too good-looking! Everyone is dark and rough like Huan Hou in the world, and all of them are as majestic as a mountain and like a young man like Alishan, which really makes Xiao Qi unbearable.

Interaction is impossible, and An Xiaoqi successively refused the requests of four or five female guards who claimed to 'protect him all the way': on this ship, he could not have been in any danger. On the days when Big Mom and Hooknose rotated, he would carefully hide in the cabin to train, not giving them a chance to hack. Other than that, he really didn't feel that there was anything to guard against—even if there was any danger, wouldn't he be able to dodge if he couldn't beat him?

In order to avoid avid female fans, he had to abandon his plan to exercise only on the deck, and decided to run all the way down from the deck, the sailor's cabin, the servant barn, the slave barn, the animal barn, and the cargo barn. I have to say that the further down the floor, the more turbid the air becomes, the harsher the environment, and even the aisles become cramped, but because he can see all kinds of scenes and characters, and understand the various states of the other world, he is at ease.

In the sailor's barn, the sailors on rotation sang in the room, danced, played cards, gambled, shouted and smoked. There are also some who are silently studying, practicing quietly, or sleeping with their heads covered, and the servant barn, male and female servants, stay in their own rooms, almost without exception, quietly. Xiaoqi looked in from several rooms with open doors, most of the women were reading and writing, the men were doing some manual work, and one was the most peculiar, actually doing some things that were inappropriate for children.

The servant's barn was the place where the slaves were housed. As mentioned above, the servants of the other world are divided into several classes: the first and second classes are counted as 'servants' and live in the upper servant warehouses, and only the unattached and unruly aliens are considered to be the third class of 'slaves', also called slaves. The lower barn was dedicated to the detention of this third-class slave. Men and women are being held separately. According to the little fat man who was waiting next to him, a good male servant of the mushroom clan was transported to the main continent, and the price far exceeded that of ordinary livestock and medicines. Even the most precious eyeballs and horns are difficult to lengthen and shorten, which shows how expensive they are.

The lower slave compartment occupies two floors of space in the ship, the upper one is the male ** servant compartment, and the lower one belongs to the female. The male ** servant warehouse is divided into several grades. The worst dozen people were crammed into a cramped room, and it was difficult to even turn around, while the best class was different: the space was about 20 square meters, with tables, chairs, benches, beds, and a defecation device in the corner. Although the sparrow is small, it is a small single room package. On one side of the wall, there is a small bookshelf with a few books on it and a few musical instruments on the table, which are well equipped and the room is neat and tidy, which is better than the sailor's room on the upper floor. In terms of living conditions alone, it is not even much worse than the chief assistant room where Xiao Qi is.

Such a slave warehouse is naturally prepared for the best male **, and there are only three such slave rooms on the entire ship. Aside from the fact that no metal objects or tools of suicide can be found, this kind of house can meet almost all the needs of men from other worlds. The best male slave rooms, where only one person lived in each, were very different from the sailors' rooms, where there were two or even four people in a room.

There was obviously something special about this journey, only one of the three best male slave rooms was occupied by a single person, and the other two were shared rooms, where several slaves lived. Needless to say, this man who lives alone is the only top male slave they identify.

Because he is so special, placed on the earth he is familiar with, this is like a red card in a special profession, and Xiao Qi is naturally curious about it. Every time I run by, I can't help but take a few more looks, and the only top male slave also greets Xiao Qi with great style.

Although it was through the metal fence with thin fingers, Xiao Qi gradually became familiar with him, and they talked to each other after going back and forth; while wiping sweat and drinking water, they also chatted with each other about the situation and exchanged pleasantries. That buddy is not ashamed of himself because Xiao Qi is a young master, and Xiao Qi is even less likely to be sarcastic because the other party is in prison, and the conversation between the two is very harmonious.

This guy has a red mushroom hat on his head, obviously a red mushroom clan, the age is about just adult, that is, about eighteen or nineteen, twenty years old; a few strands of blonde hair are exposed from the brim of the hat, lining his not very outstanding appearance.

This little brother of the Red Mushroom Clan is relatively petite, and he is only a few centimeters taller than the fourteen-year-old Xiao Qi, that is, less than one meter six in stature. This is a bit short by Earth's standards, but this figure is the standard 'beautiful man' height in the eyes of the other world. In addition, the little brother has a gentle voice, a demure personality, and is knowledgeable, which is an out-and-out 'little jasper' in the aesthetics of the other world.

Every time Xiao Qi ran here, he would stop to drink water and rest, and at this time, the beautiful man of the Red Mushroom Clan would pluck the musical instruments on the table with his fingers with a warm smile. The guqin-like instrument clanged, and the notes of flowing water flowed outside the cabin, and the noise of the adjacent cabin would be silenced, and the people around him, including the rest of the slaves, would listen quietly to the sound of his piano.

It's very pleasant, it's beautiful, and everyone who hears the music thinks so. It was also the only flash of memory when the slaves were sold. The beautiful man who focused on playing the piano smiled, his eyes were misty, and he seemed to be intoxicated. However, Xiao Qi could see the well-concealed sadness and despair in his eyes, and wanted to open his mouth to comfort him, but he didn't know how to open his mouth, only a long sigh.

"Thank you, you played very movingly, in our words, as if the sound of heaven, I seemed to return to the red mushroom forest, and saw the stream, the red mushroom trees growing slowly, a scene of vitality. After listening to the song, Xiao Qi organized the language and expressed his gratitude to the little brother with gestures.

The little brother of the Red Mushroom clan stood up, squatted down slightly with his legs, bowed slightly, made an extremely feminine movement, and said in a subtle and subtle voice: "It's rare here, and I can meet a person who has been to my hometown, and I dream back at midnight, I also think about it, thinking about my home and mother." Unfortunately, there is no going back. This "Red Forest" was originally a minor tune of our red mushroom tribe, played with human instruments, although it was a lot less interesting, but fortunately, it could barely reach the ear. Since you are a bosom friend, if you don't dislike it, I can teach you to play. ”

The little brother's voice was as soft as a girl, and his demeanor was similar. From a general earth point of view, it's a standard male girl. But he has a beautiful posture and outstanding temperament, and he has a charm contained in it. Not to mention anything else, as a mushroom boy, being able to speak such a lingua franca of the human race is not something that ordinary people can do. Coupled with this piano skill, it is clear that this little brother is not taking the route of serving people in Israel, but the path of talent.

Six points of appearance and four points of talent still form a full male god. The male god of the mushroom clan looked at Xiao Qi with a confused eye, and whispered in a gentle voice: "Trapped here and have nothing to do, I can only see the people who deliver food and drowning every day, if I don't find something, I will be annoyed to death." It's good for me if you can stay a little longer. ”
