Post-apocalyptic mermaid stranded

"Fifty catties of cotton and linen, 33 catties of bamboo, [-] catties of handicrafts, [-] pieces of wine barrels..."

Gu Baiqing checked the goods one by one with a sad face, shuttled back and forth among the people carrying the goods, and had to act as a commander from time to time, running back and forth between the warehouse and the deck, and his back was drenched in sweat after a while.

The most hectic part of every voyage is to check the goods, but you can't rely on others. There are only three people on the whole ship who can take on this responsibility.It's a pity that the captain was still pretending to blow the cool breeze on the deck, and Wei Lan was checking the sailors. Fortunately, Gu Baiqing was used to it. Except for the accidental haunting of the ark, everything went smoothly.

After handing over the documents to the ship manager who boarded the ship for inspection and acceptance, Gu Baiqing took the coins and began to distribute the money to the temporary workers, no more, no less, two pennies per person.No matter what era you are in, you can't get a lot of money for simple manual work, and there are still people who rob you.

After sending off the workers, Gu Baiqing wiped his sweat and turned his head, almost collided with the little tail behind him, and sighed: "Stop following me, go to the cabin to find a space, put down the backpack, and come over to prepare to sail .”

Fang Zhou wandered around the boss in a daze for a while, finally got the first task, and left with a skip.

"It looks pretty good." Wei Lan laughed not far away, raised her hand and snapped her fingers at the captain.

"Raise anchor!"

"Raise anchor!" The captain gave an order, and the sailors who had been on standby for a long time responded immediately.

Fang Zhou heard the huge sound in the cabin, and hurried up, not knowing where to go for a while.

"Don't stand there stupidly," Wei Lan saw him at a glance, stepped forward two steps, and pushed the ark, "Go, follow the other sailors, the sail is about to be raised."

Just as he was talking, the captain blew his whistle on his chest: "Sail! Let's go!"

"Sail is set."

"Port sail taut!"

"Ark, you go and fill in the last empty space on the right."

……

Even if Tiger Head was separated from the engine, its speed was still very fast. Within a moment, the pier had disappeared from sight.It was not yet noon, the sea breeze was blowing, the sun was already venomous, reflected by the sea water, and the skin of the whole body was scorched hot.

"That kid is hardworking." Wei Lan stood by the steering wheel and looked over with a half-smile, "Running around like a puppy, keep up the momentum, and I can take over your class in the future."

"You really want me to pack up and leave." Gu Baiqing looked at her bitterly.

"That's what I think." Wei Lan squinted at him, "I heard that you returned half a day early last time."

The news spread too quickly, and Gu Baiqing's mind flashed one face after another, silently calculating which one had the biggest mouth.

Wei Lan tilted her head slightly, and looked straight into his eyes: "You two are too reckless this time."

This is not without temptation.

Gu Baiqing smiled but didn't want to say more. 'Mermaid' is a forbidden word for scavengers at sea. The scavengers at sea work on their own, competing with each other for survival and a chance. It is common to shout and kill, but facing the sea of ​​mermaids Strange, but also extremely united.It was his first job to salvage the dead mermaid this time, and he made a split-second decision, whether the outcome was good or bad, and there was no need to drag others down.

"You are so clever." Wei Lan pouted helplessly, "Don't worry, I know the rules, you—"

"Look over there!"

"There's a boat! Is there someone in it?"

……

With a crash, most of the people on the deck ran to one side to look around, pointing and making noises of curiosity.

"...Isn't it?" Just as he remembered the mermaid he picked up last time, a boat appeared in front of him out of nowhere. This coincidence gave Gu Baiqing a bad feeling.

The captain didn't have such worries, he pushed aside the crowd, took out his binoculars to take a closer look, and waved his long arm neatly: "Let go of the rope, save people!"

Wei Lan didn't go over to squeeze with a group of men, put his hands on the rudder wheel, exerted strength on his waist, and stood firmly on the rudder wheel with one side, squinting his eyes to look at the noisy place, and then met Gu Bai who was looking eagerly. Qing said: "Single-seater punting boat, water entered the boat, there is a man, I don't know if he is dead or alive."

This time the captain summoned all veterans, and when it comes to launching, each one is more agile than the other, and even the steps of launching the boat are saved. He tied the hemp rope around his waist and jumped into the water with a plop.

When someone fished it up and threw it on the deck, everyone surrounded it.

The man lying on the deck was still in a coma. His wet black hair was scattered on his forehead, and his nose was straight. I don’t know if he had soaked in the water for too long. His lips didn’t have a trace of blood. His broad shoulders and long legs looked pretty good. solid.

Gu Baiqing looked down and turned around, carefully studied it with appraising eyes, and then made a definitive statement: "It works."

"We'll be a lifesaver if we catch him up, so we don't need to pay him any more." The captain rubbed his chin in thought.

"Whether it can be used or not, we'll talk about it after we wake up after being rescued." Wei Lan pushed aside the two people who were blocking the way, squatted down directly, stretched out his fist, and hammered the man's waist and abdomen hard.

"Uh...not suitable for children, turn your head quickly." Gu Baiqing quickly reached out to cover Fang Zhou's eyes, forced him to turn half a circle, and pushed him out of the crowd chatteringly, "Let's go down to the cabin to find something Eat, I'm starving to death."

"What time is it, you eat again!" The captain was still watching a good show, but when he heard Gu Baiqing's words from a distance, he immediately jumped up and scolded, "We haven't set sail for an hour, are you trying to eat me up! "

"I, I'm not hungry." Fang Zhou trembled from the captain's piercing cloud roar, and refused to go any further.

"Don't listen to him, he's teasing you." Gu Baiqing patted his head and said helplessly, "You can eat all you can on the first day of sailing. When Wei Lan explained the ship rules to the sailors before anchoring, didn't you hear?"

"All you can eat?!" Fang Zhou stopped breathing for a moment, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Can you really eat all you can?"

"All you can eat is a professional word on board, understand?" Gu Baiqing stretched out a finger, swayed it left and right, and squinted his eyes to teach the maze, "Usually after loading the goods and then sailing, it's already past the breakfast time, so it's easy to save time. After a meal, no fire is allowed for lunch, everyone can only go to the cabin to get something to eat, that is to say, the so-called all-you-can-eat only refers to dinner.”

"Didn't Lai Mazi give you a pot? It's for use at night. When it gets dark and the captain orders to lift the ban on open flames, your small pot will come in handy." Gu Baiqing and his brother squeezed his shoulders nicely , "Brother, you only have two chances to eat all you can during this trip to the sea, one is to board the boat and the other is to land. There are not many opportunities, so you must cherish them. At night, you can have a sharp eye and a quick hand. If you grab the good food, it will be yours." If you can't get it, you can only wait for the next time, don't say that brother didn't remind you."

Fang Zhou nodded again and again, rolled his eyes, and asked cautiously, "Can you eat meat?"

"can."

"Then...then can I grab the back and stay?" Fang Zhou's voice became smaller and smaller, his bright black eyes were full of pleading, and he looked straight at Gu Baiqing.There are very few living creatures on the shore. To prevent the plague and carefully serve them to help them multiply, they can only be kept in captivity in the research institute. There are not many that can be sold in the market, and even fewer people who can afford it.Since the end of the world, he has only eaten it two or three times, all of which were half sold and half given to their family by Gu Ge. If he can get the meat...

"No." Gu Baiqing looked at him for a long time, then shook his head.

Fang Zhou's eyes dimmed in an instant. Gu Baiqing felt sorry for him, but he still couldn't change his words: "You don't want to eat, do you want to keep it and take it back? No way. You can resist eating, but other people on the boat can't."

When Fang Zhou looked over suspiciously, Gu Baiqing couldn't help but nodded his forehead, and educated him bitterly: "You are stupid, you are not the only one on this ship, how many people turn green when they see it?" , each nose is smarter than a dog, and you can turn the meat out when you smell it, where can you hide?"

"Then, then I leave it to you—"

Before Fang Zhou finished speaking, Gu Baiqing pushed down the wooden ladder forcefully, and immediately offered him a disdainful laugh: "Brother still takes advantage of you? Don't worry, you won't be able to starve me if you're hungry."

The two casually took a la carte pancakes and sour bamboo shoots from the warehouse, and when they were done eating, they handed over to others, and then returned to the deck. The unknown man was still lying there motionless, and the winding water beneath him had been dried up. They were trampled into shoe prints by people walking back and forth.

Fang Zhou had already gone to work, and Gu Baiqing squatted beside the man, looking up and down.

"Have you seen enough?" Wei Lan squatted over after handing over the captain's shift, "Is there anything to see?"

"So, it's not without reason that you've been single until now." Gu Baiqing hooked the corners of his mouth, and gestured up and down with his fingers in a similar manner, "Look at the outline of his face, look at the proportions of his facial features, and look at this Pectorals—Huh? And abs.”

Wei Lan looked at Gu Baiqing speechlessly, his eyes were full of contempt, and he started to touch a comatose man?Even if she was single for another 100 years, she would never become as wretched as Gu Baiqing!

Not knowing that he had already been labeled as 'wretched', Gu Baiqing became more and more enthusiastic as he explained, he simply raised his hand, peeled off the man's shirt, and even stuck his palm on it: "Well, strong but not Fatty, firm and not rough, rare, rare."

"...he is a human being, not a piece of meat." Wei Lan became more and more suspicious as he heard it, and warned Gu Baiqing suspiciously, "Don't eat it."

Gu Baiqing sucked in his saliva: "Don't worry, I am a person with morality and bottom line."

"If you don't tell me, I really can't tell." Wei Lan looked contemptuous.

"If you like me, you can express it in a more gentle way. Why—huh?" Gu Baiqing was joking, when suddenly his wrist was grasped by a strong force, and when he looked down, he was bumping into a pair of black as lacquer eyes.

And those eyes were full of anger that could not be ignored.
