When I returned to the deck, my eyes went black for a while.

The "pirates" dispersed, leaving Angus who was in charge of guarding Ike.

The big man Angus saw that Ike couldn't stand up, walked over and squatted in front of him, and asked, "Are you hungry? I've been hungry before and my legs and feet were weak, just eat something. "

Although that was not the case at all, Ike was still very grateful to Angus for speaking for him just now, saving him from the bad luck of being locked up in a pirate cell.

"Thank you...I really don't know how to thank you..."

Angus was a little puzzled: "I didn't do anything for you to be grateful for!"

"..." Ike used to see mostly hypocritical flattery, and listened to sweet words with a purpose. This was the first time he met a real person like Angus, but it made him wonder what to do for a while. It should be more appropriate.

Now he was standing on the deck of the other party. If he offended the other party because of a sentence, no one would waste time to investigate even if an unknown crew member was robbed by pirates on a cargo ship without login information, even if he was thrown out of outer space.

There was an uncommunicable silence between the two.

After a long time, Angus scratched his head, and finally broke the silence first: "Well...are you still hungry? Do you want to have a meal first?"

Although the other party gave him a choice, Ike didn't feel that he had room to refuse.

He was taken to a spacious cabin of the spaceship, and Angus asked him to sit at a corner of the long table: "This is the dining room, where everyone eats, please sit down for a while." In the open cooking room, I started to make something with containers and tools that Ike had never seen before.

Ike sat there, looking at this place called "restaurant" very puzzled.

If you eat synthetic nutrients, you can just find a place. Do you need to set up a special place to sit and eat?But he didn't dare to raise any objections, so he could only sit there silently.

Originally, I thought that what I was waiting for was just a plate of viscous synthetic nutritional supplements, but gradually from the half-open cooking room, there was a strange smell that made my stomach growl. Even he couldn't bear it. Can't help stretching his neck to look inside.

While Ike was swallowing his saliva, Angus finally came out holding a plate. Of course, the contents of the plate were dripping, but there were pieces of light yellow and light red food materials stewed. However, Angus's craftsmanship is really not very good, and he cuts all the materials into big and small pieces. Of course, they can be eaten after they are stewed in a pot.

Although I have never eaten this kind of thing before, the smell of the fresh taste is so fragrant, Ike even stared at the steaming stew on the plate in a daze, feeling that the saliva in his mouth was secreting so much that it was about to flow down from the corner of his mouth .

After taking the spoon handed by Angus, he didn't know how to eat it. He clumsily held the handle of the spoon with his whole hand, scooped up a spoon and put it into his mouth. The soft taste made him stunned, never before. The taste buds stimulated by the sweetness of potato tubers were completely paralyzed, and they were even reluctant to swallow.

Angus didn't understand his expression. Seeing that he hadn't swallowed it all the time, he thought that his cooking was too bad, so he scratched his head apologetically: "Well, I didn't make it too good... Otherwise, I'll give it to you. Do you take the nutritional supplements? You will be more used to eating that, right?"

Hearing what he said, Ike quickly swallowed what was in his mouth, regardless of whether he chewed it or not: "No... no... cough cough cough cough..." The broken and rustling food choked into the respiratory tract in anxiety Inside, he coughed so much that his mouth and nose were spraying and he was in a mess.

"Uncle, don't be in a hurry! Don't be in a hurry! You can talk about things slowly!" Angus had seen what the old nun who took care of the children when they choked, so he hurried over to pat him on the back, but his The big slap was not at all the strength of the old nun's gentle slap on the child. It almost didn't slap the uncle who had coughed until he died.

Ike didn't bother to explain with his mouth, and waved his hands again and again to indicate that he was fine and didn't need to shoot anymore.

Angus looked at him worriedly, seeing that he was about to die, and he was even more sure that this uncle who was so fragile that he almost choked to death could not be an interstellar pirate anyway.

He took a cup and poured a cup of purified water for Ike: "Uncle, it doesn't matter if you don't like this, we don't eat it often, but these foods require a lot of storage space, so we don't bring much. It’s still mainly nutritional supplements, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Ike finally calmed down after drinking the water. He was a little disappointed when he heard what Angus said, but then he became a little curious. The mercenaries on this boat actually ate fresh plants. Food, then they must have their own base, and the resources of the planet they are on must also be abundant.But at most, he thought about these things for a while, and immediately put them behind him. He didn't want to explore the origin of this team of mercenaries, after all, sometimes too much curiosity would kill people instead.

All he had to do now was wait until they docked at the next spaceport to let him off the ship.

"Actually, you don't have to be afraid, we are not bad people." Angus also seemed to have noticed Ike's reticence. From the beginning, he was absolutely sure that the other party was not an interstellar pirate. If this is the case, it means that Ike is actually an unlucky and innocent person Just an ordinary uncle.

Since he was a child, he was taught by the old nun to respect and love those who are older than him, and the uncle sitting opposite him is obviously much older than him. In addition, he feels obliged to take good care of him: "Our boss... Oh, by the way, you don’t know yet? Our boss’s name is Sachs. He’s actually quite a nice guy, although sometimes he looks fierce... Well, the one with short blonde hair next to him is Uncle (Uncle9) , and thirteen, 26, forty, 61, 75, if you can’t remember, you can tell them based on the numbers on their arms, it’s very convenient.”

The enthusiasm of the other party made it difficult for Ike to remain silent. He carefully considered his words before he opened his mouth and asked Angus, "So... are you a mercenary too?"

Angus's dark face blushed with embarrassment: "I'm not good enough..." He smiled awkwardly, "Uncle Nan said that to become a soldier, you must start training from infancy, and only at my age do you accept military training. Training basically means that you can’t be a qualified soldier, you can only be a civilian.”

Ike looked at the big young man sitting in front of him in surprise. Although he was young, his tall and strong physique and Marumar's protruding and strong muscles made him look like an adult man's majestic physique, and his square face was tight. Sometimes it is like a resolute soldier.

Just like that, he looked more like a soldier than the Union soldiers Ike had seen with a drink in their hands and a beautiful woman on their belly. How could they be unqualified?

"Actually... I think you are pretty good. Do you have some deficiencies, such as, uh, spaceship piloting experience or tactical strategies..." Actually, Ike has no concept of the training that soldiers must receive, but now I can only bite the bullet and continue, "In any case, experience can be accumulated slowly. I think as long as you don't give up, you can always succeed."

After saying this, Ike felt that his old face was hot. In fact, he gave up on himself like this and went to work as a virtual sex designer on an asteroid in a marginal galaxy. How could he have the right to encourage others?

Angus' eyes widened immediately after hearing his words, and he opened his mouth for a long time before holding back his words: "Thank you, you are so right! So right! Thank you! Thank you!"

It was only then that Ike noticed that the big man in front of him had a pair of bright and clear light green pupils, like two beautiful glass beads.

Who wouldn't say nice words? Ike knew that his flattery was deliberate, but Angus sincerely and earnestly expressed his gratitude and joy of being encouraged, which made him feel that he was really malicious.

Lowering his head in embarrassment, he stopped talking and continued to pour the miscellaneous stew into his mouth.

Angus didn't bother him anymore, and sat beside him with his chin beaming while eating with him.

Ike was reluctant to waste these never-before-eaten delicacies, and he didn't stop until there was nothing left. He looked at the plate as clean as a mirror in embarrassment, and felt that his greedy face just now was really rude.However, the intestines and stomach, which had never received this kind of food, wriggled somewhat reboundingly. Ike felt a hard gas pushing out from the esophagus. red.

But Angus took away the empty plate with a happy face, and he was very happy: "Uncle, do you like my mixed stew? That's great! Hehe... The boss often said that my cooking is like garbage Unpalatable, hehe..."

He said this, as if he was a homeless man who would eat trash... Ike hesitated for a moment. Although he was suspected of trying to curry favor, he still told the other party his feelings sincerely.

"How come...it's delicious."

After eating, Angus took him through their spaceship again, after all, he was going to stay on it for a long time.

The big man was unexpectedly patient. Ike followed Angus and listened to him pointing out the infrastructure on the spaceship. Although Angus did not show him more combat equipment, he only focused on the space in the living area. , but for Ike, although he has not touched the interior design of buildings for a long time, he has already
