Pirates: Approaching Science

After departing from the dock of his home port, Sergeant Marr walked alone into the lively neighborhood, habitually touching the handle of the knife at his waist and looking at the peaceful scene on the street with a smile.

Sergeant Marr has extremely strict requirements on his life on weekdays, and does not drink a drop of alcohol. When he has some time, he spends some time on the deck exercising and training like crazy.

But now, the war is coming, and even a genius like Sergeant Marr, who is one of the few among the navy's grassroots, can hardly be sure of surviving.

When his life and death were uncertain, Marr also took the rare opportunity to step off the naval battleship and admire the happiness and well-being of the people on foot for which he had sacrificed everything.

Not far from Sergeant Marr, at a place where you can buy candied haws on a stick, a mother and daughter are negotiating the price with the vendor. The little girl, who was looking at her mother's fussing over everything, was bored. She suddenly raised her head and glanced at Mal, then tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes and lowered her head to say something. Her mother looked at Mal in surprise, and then the vendor and her mother finished the job smoothly. trade.

Mal looked at this ordinary scene, but felt it was precious and warmed his heart.

To Mal's surprise, the little girl ran towards him with the candied haws in her hand.

The little girl took out a piece of candied haws, raised her little red face, and said timidly: "Uncle, let me eat the candied haws for you."

Mal did not reach out to pick it up, but looked at the nervous little girl at her feet with her left hand holding the corner of her clothes in surprise.

Just when the little girl was at a loss, the little girl's mother also came over, touched the little girl's hair, and said with a smile: "Master Navy, please don't be offended. My name is Froya, and I am Lili's mother. . This child’s father is also a navy, but he rarely has the opportunity to go home to see his child every year, so now the child is extremely excited when he sees an adult wearing the same clothes as his father.”

Mal shook his head, indicating that he did not blame the little girl for being abrupt. He looked at the little girl with narrowed eyes being touched by her mother's gentle hands and said, "It's okay, Ms. Froya. I'm honored to receive your daughter's kindness. .”

Froya said with a smile: "Then please accept this child's heart, Mr. Navy." After saying that, Froya also bowed to Sergeant Marr to show her respect for this person who protects the safety of the people. Warrior's respect.

When Mal saw Froya's solemn behavior, his pupils shrank. Mal, who didn't usually communicate with others, had obviously never encountered such a scene and didn't know what to do. He could only release the handle of the knife with his right hand, stretched out his fingers and stiffly followed Froya's words and took the candied haws from the little girl Lily's hand.

Seeing her big brother, who was dressed the same as her father and looked very good-looking, accepting her gift, Lily looked excited and happy, then glanced at the handsome Sergeant Marr and ran away shyly.

Froya looked at her daughter's actions and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Lord Marine. Lily is still young, so please forgive me for the disrespectful etiquette."

Mal nodded and smiled: "Ms. Froya, please rest assured. Your daughter is very cute. I am very happy to see her, and I am also very happy to receive the gift from this lovely little angel."

After hearing this, Froya nodded with relief. She was very worried when she saw the back of Lily who had already run into the Internet cafe. She looked back at Mal, thinking about how to escape.

Although Mal has not been off a ship for a long time, he still understands the basic ways of the world. As soon as he saw Froya's face full of anxiety, he took the initiative and said quite wisely: "Ms. Froya, I'm afraid your daughter can't wait now. You'd better go find your daughter first. But Don’t lose track, or you’ll be in trouble.”

Froya looked at Mal gratefully, nodded, then turned around and entered the store in the direction Lily had just taken.

Mal looked at the mother and daughter who had met by chance with a smile, and wondered in his heart whether he was usually too focused on training, and how much wonderful life he had missed.

While thinking about it, Mal walked into a tavern, went up to the second floor, and asked the tavern for a pot of tea. He leaned against the window and could see the shop that the mother and daughter just walked into.

At the table next to them, there were several sturdy men in shabby shirts sitting. There were several bottles of beer on the table. They were blowing the bottles directly against each other, and while drinking, they were bragging about what they had experienced during this period.
