Post-apocalyptic mermaid stranded

The few days on the return voyage at sea are the most difficult. I am used to the shaking vision. When I suddenly get down on the ground, the nausea that has been suppressed for several months will start to surge up, allowing the brain to taste the long-term fatigue accumulated in the body in an instant.This is something that every scavenger at sea knows well, but even if he is mentally prepared, it is still terribly uncomfortable when he actually faces it.The brain and the body are like deadly enemies. They compete with each other. In the end, no one will let the other go. Just suffer together.

After two days of being top-heavy, Gu Baiqing finally couldn't hold back and ran to find the captain: "Hurry up and recruit people, we'll set sail tomorrow."

The captain, who was not much better than him, was lying on the deck with a haggard face, moaning and moaning: "Be quiet, my head is about to explode."

"I'm almost out of bile, and your head is still panting on your neck. It won't explode for a while." Gu Baiqing walked back and forth on the deck irritably, retching twice from time to time. I was quite relieved, "I don't feel so uncomfortable when I get on the boat."

When he got off the ground, he felt as light as if he was stepping on cotton, but when he got on this dilapidated ship, he strangely lost the sense of weightlessness. Gu Baiqing despised himself with complicated emotions, is it Stockholm Syndrome?

"If you don't feel bad, don't vomit, vomit, I want to vomit if you vomit so much." The captain rubbed his face hopelessly, "It's only been two days since we landed, brother, are you trying to force me to death? Can't you rest for two more days after making a lot of money?"

"Then you rest, I'll go find another house." Gu Baiqing didn't talk nonsense, turned around and left.A partner is a fart at a critical moment of life and death, not worth mentioning, and breaking up in person can also be very justifiable.

"Hey, don't." The captain was in a hurry, jumped up from the deck with a squeak, and slapped his chest bravely, "I'm going to prepare right now, just wait, we'll set off tomorrow."

Gu Baiqing was waiting for his words. Hearing this, his body went limp, and he lay down on the ground as if he had no bones, and waved his hands casually: "It's time to leave."

"Aren't you going to spend the night on my boat? You have to pay, you know?"

"My house is gone. I was nestled in Lai Mazi's dilapidated store two days ago, and my bones were almost moldy." Gu Baiqing raised his face, with dark circles under his eyes that could not be hidden under the sunshine, looking very pitiful, " Didn't I just introduce you to a good player? He will come over tomorrow, and you won't be charged for the introduction fee, so let me make do with it for one night."

"It's better to be really good." The captain murmured and walked around him.

expert?The captain folded his chest indifferently.

The outlines that haven't grown up still remain immature, the boy's body is thin and thin, and he looks weak due to malnutrition.The fluff on his face was clearly visible in the morning light, and the obviously freshly groomed attire made this excited boy feel awkwardly.

The captain scanned the ark critically from top to bottom, and finally frowned at his shoes: "Your shoes are worn backwards."

"Ah? Yes, I'm sorry." Fang Zhou quickly squatted down to untie his shoelaces.

dying.

The captain couldn't bear to look directly at his forehead and said, "Is this the master you recruited?"

After a good night's rest on the boat, and a comfortable hot shower early in the morning, Gu Baiqing smiled brightly, "Yes, although he is a little younger, his body is weaker, and his limbs are weak. A little bit, the brain is turning a little slower, the reaction is a little slow, and the experience is a little less...but I will definitely be a good player in the future."

"Lacking so many points, there is still a future?" The captain was so angry that his hands shook, and he poked Fang Zhou's nose angrily, "Where did the hat on his head come from?"

Fang Zhou, who had just straightened up, looked innocent.

"I picked it up, and it's on your boat." Gu Baiqing chuckled, his peach eyes curled into sly arcs, pure and unworthy of beating.

Zhang Zili stood at the other end of the pier and watched them laughing and cursing, his eyes were so angry that he was about to burst into flames, and he lost his patience when he spoke to his mother, "Okay, don't make trouble, do you want to exhaust me to death?"

Mama Zhang paused her hands tied to the bamboo basket, raised her head in embarrassment, and said with a dry smile, "That's about it."

Zhang Zili lowered his head in distaste, looking at the three bamboo baskets piled up at his feet, each of which was covered with linen, thinking that there were so few wild vegetable cakes inside, it looked like more than rags The refills made him even more angry and disdainful: "There is nothing to put on, it is something that no one wants. If you exchange them all, you can't exchange for a chicken leg."

These words are a bit embarrassing, live livestock are all kept in captivity in the research institute, and it is difficult for ordinary people to even see a chicken feather, let alone a chicken leg.Zhang's mother never lagged behind others in picking up waste. Zhang's father is a bit older but can be considered a hard worker. He goes to the wharf every day to do coolies before dawn.And Zhang Zili squatted at home every day with his mouth open, waiting to eat. Seeing that nowadays he often returned empty-handed when picking up waste, Zhang's mother made the plan to let him go to sea. The introduction fee alone exhausted all the savings of the Zhang family, and these bamboo As soon as the food in the basket was taken away, the Zhang family didn't have any next meal.

Mother Zhang arched her back, knowing that her son was very dissatisfied with the matter of going to sea, so she could only try to squeeze out a smile to comfort her: "Our family can only take out these for the time being, and wait for you to come back..."

"When I come back, you two will eat my food and drink mine?" Zhang Zili was so angry that his nostrils swelled up, as if he was looking at a blood-sucking leech, his disgust was written all over his face, "Do you think whose son went to sea? Why don't you let Dad follow the boat?"

"Your father is getting old, and he hurt his foot when he was moving the goods two days ago. Even if he wanted to go, no one wanted it. I originally wanted you to be with Bai Qing, so I could have some confidence in my heart, but—"

"But you forgot that his old lady was tricked to death by our family." Zhang Zili looked at Gu Baiqing viciously. He was supposed to stand by his side, but now, Fang Zhou took his place!And he can only guard these broken bamboo baskets, waiting for the introducer to earn him a place on board.

"Look at the good things you and Dad did!" Zhang Zili spit, wanting to poke his finger on Zhang's mother's nose, "Gu Baiqing is just an orphan who has lost his father and mother. If you can't win him over, you will Count on me, let me go to sea and fight with my life!"

Zhang's mother was so choked by him that she couldn't say a word, she drooped her head and choked with tears.

Zhang Zili's growling as if no one was watching became louder and louder, and people in a hurry around him all looked sideways, even Gu Baiqing and his group, who were a hundred meters away, noticed it.

"Hey, that little boy looks familiar." Fang Zhou tiptoed to look.

Gu Baiqing pressed him down: "You don't care about the white-faced and black-faced people, check your belongings quickly. This time, let's say you won't return to the sea within two months, so what about the thick coat you were asked to bring?"

"Here." Fang Zhou swung the backpack to his chest, smiling shyly, "My mother specially sewed the backpack for me, it's waterproof."

"Hey, it's still splicing wind, handsome." The captain was talking to other sailors, and upon hearing this, he also leaned over to take a look.

Fang Zhou smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and it was quite pleasing to look at. Gu Baiqing brushed his hair with itchy hands, and said in surprise, "I even washed my hair specially."

"This habit is commendable." A smiling female voice came, and Fang Zhou turned around in a daze. Before he could see who was coming, he was slapped again.

Cowboy leather boots, with arrow ropes around her waist, and a woman with a ponytail attracted countless attentions as soon as she appeared on the stage.

In the pier, women are very common, but most of them are selling sundries, and it is rare for a sailor to dress like this woman.

The woman is really beautiful, and her plain face can't hide her confidence. With her hands behind her back, she rolled her eyes on Gu Baiqing's face and said with a smile, "You're still alive."

"Come back alive to see you." Gu Baiqing put his arm on Fang Zhou's shoulder and introduced, "This kid is Fang Zhou, my neighbor. Fang Zhou, this is Wei Lan, call me sister."

"Sister." Fang Zhou's eyes were straightened, and he made every command and every action.

Wei Lan rolled his eyes at the snickering captain, the smile on the corner of his mouth remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly in response: "My brother is good, go and help my sister to check the goods." out.

"...?" Fang Zhou looked at Wei Lan in bewilderment.

"If you want me to work, you can just say so." Gu Baiqing took the account book without any hesitation, raised his brows slightly, and outlined a narrow and ambiguous tone, "It is absolutely obligatory for you to share your worries."

"Hey," Wei Lan sneered, "You always say it's your duty."

When he is really needed, the rich man is the uncle.

"You still know me best." Gu Baiqing winked, then turned around to check the goods.

The tiger-head ship has been classified as a commercial ship for this return voyage and rectification. In addition to the regular payment of taxes, the goods and personnel on board must be registered every time it returns from the voyage. It is a bit troublesome, but it also prevents many people who take advantage of the chaos. villain.The tiger head boat has seven sails and four floors. Except for the common use of the deck and cabin, the bottom two floors are all cargo warehouses.

After getting the news, many people who tried to migrate came to them and asked to board the boat.But on the maiden voyage after registration, Gu Baiqing and the captain had already negotiated to temporarily suspend the transport of living people, so they had no choice but to regret the money they politely declined.The risk factor at sea is too high, and dead objects cannot be guaranteed to be delivered safely, let alone people?But there are also advantages, such as——

With a pen in his mouth, Gu Baiqing hummed a ditty and walked to the front of the line waiting for registration, glanced around, waved his hand at the strong man holding the sheep, and when he approached, he patted the little lamb's thigh, very satisfied He squinted his eyes.Strong enough, good.

"hiss--"

"Huh?" Gu Baiqing looked at Fang Zhou inexplicably, being drawn back by the gasp in his ear, "What kind of face is that?"

Fang Zhou quickly put away his face in astonishment, and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I know this is normal, I've heard people say it."

"...Did you misunderstand a little?" Gu Baiqing blinked, "Now only our east, west, and north continents still have cattle and sheep alive. These are the goods to be sent to Nanwei Island. Can your little head melon Want something serious?"

"I, I didn't think..."

"Although our times are regressing, human beings have already taken a big step towards civilization, and morality still exists. My friend, your ideological awareness still needs to be improved." Gu Baiqing shook his head and sighed, and walked blushing The Ark, continue to register.
