Chapter 425
In the quiet and dim cabin, Anphir walked tremblingly in the carriage with a horseshoe lamp. He shrank his head and looked around nervously from time to time. He didn't even dare to show a trace of atmosphere on his tender face, as if he was afraid of disturbing something terrible. ※%
The distance to the lower food storage warehousing of the cabin was very short, but he walked for a long time, especially the creaking sound made on the wooden stairs almost suffocated him, and his heartbeat fell into a brief stop. He closed his eyes and waited for a long time without notice of something strange. He slowly opened his eyes and mustered up the courage to take steps again.
When he finally arrived at the food storage warehouse, he lit the oil lamp in the cabin. Anphir breathed a sigh of relief, and he took off all his strength and collapsed on the deck.
"I'm scared! I'm scared..."
He kept muttering, stretched out his hand to wipe away the cold sweat from his face, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the wooden barrels neatly stacked in front of him.
After resting for a while, he stood up and walked to a wooden barrel to lift the lid. With the light of the horseshoe lamp, he immediately saw that the barrel was filled with dried bread.
He took out a bread that was as hard as a stone and waved it casually, showing a disgusting expression on his face. Every time he went out to sea and voyed, he almost vomited such unpalatable bread. If he didn't soak it in soup, he might be able to chew your teeth away if you ate it directly, and the most important thing is that it tastes as unchewable as dry paper.
He sighed and went to another wooden barrel to open it one by one, fresh water, dried meat, salted fish, beans, and sour lemon. After searching for a long time, he found the honey the captain needed.
At this time, he suddenly became stunned because he thought of a very important question.
Does he have to move so much food on his own?!
What a joke, with his thin figure, I'm afraid he can't even move the lightest bread bucket. Should he let him carry a bunch of bread and carry it back? Impossible!
Anphil subconsciously shook his head and drove out the idea. Not to mention going back and forth, he had already had enough of this worry and fear at one time. Even if the captain intimidated himself, he would never come down again.
What can only become a truly brave man by defeating one's own inner fear? It's all lies, otherwise why would the captain and other crew members not dare to come down?
What to do? What to do?
Anphill looked at the wooden barrel in front of him at a loss, and his whole body was frowning. If he only brought some food on it, he would definitely be taught a lesson by the captain, and he would probably throw himself into the sea.
"May I ask. Do you need help?"
Suddenly, a light voice echoed in his ears immediately made Anphir scream in fear.
...
"Captain! Listen! Anphir's scream seems to be heard under the cabin!"
A crew member who was sitting on the deck doing nothing and heard the familiar screams from the cabin. He immediately stood up nervously, and many crew members reacted to him. Faced with this situation, they all looked at Prous, who was calm and breathing on the side of the ship.
"Don't worry, Anphere is nothing."
After all, Prouss is a captain who has his own uniqueness. In addition to his experience in navigation, he has been separated from the category of ordinary people to some extent. Simply put, he detected Anphir's life through perception.
"But, don't we really have to go down and check his situation?" Although the crew members were very convinced by Prous, ordinary people would inevitably show concern at this time.
"Oh?! So who do you want to go down?" Prous looked at the crew with a calm expression.
As a result, this sentence made the crew members around him take a step back, pretending that they didn't hear it.
"Look at what you look like?! When the companions are in trouble, they dare not lend a helping hand! Alas... I am so disappointed!" Prous shook his head and sighed.
"Captain... You know, if I meet a pirate or something, I will definitely dare to go up and fight to the death without saying a word, but... I really don't dare to face the terrifying woman under the cabin... As soon as I see her, my legs can't help but tremble, and I don't even have the courage to resist..." The words of a crew member said in shame immediately resonated with the people around him.
"Yes! Captain... As the helm of the Oak, shouldn't you care about your crew and set an example to check the situation?" Someone of the crew said in a low voice. "After all, Anphere was you who pushed the cabin out of the cabin..."
"I'm going against it! You guys dare to openly provoke the captain's majesty!" Prous was furious when he heard this, "I've decided! None of you can think of eating today!"
"As long as the captain, you can bring Anphir back safely, it's worth a meal!" said a crew member.
"Hmph! A group of timid guys! I'll deal with you again when I come back!"
Prous snorted coldly, reached out to lift the captain's cap slightly, and walked into the cabin without saying a word.
"Hey! The captain has really gone down?!" Looking at the back of Prous disappearing in the cabin, someone in the silent crew suddenly said quietly. "He is fine, right?"
"Be careful when speaking, are you forgetting that the captain is most taboo to others saying that he is old, be careful that he will punish you to clean the deck for a month!" One of the crew members booed.
"This is how the captain likes to speak out. In fact, he is more nervous than anyone else!" said the crew member leaning against the side of the ship. "But he didn't say it, he insisted that we stimulate him before he could submit!"
"I can't figure it out. The captain knew there was danger under the cabin, but why did he let Anphir go down?"
"Idiot! Haven't you seen it yet? This is a way for the captain to train Anphir!"
"Tsk tsk, I can't stand this way of raising people to the fire pit. Having said that, why would the captain take special care of Anphir? Could it be that he is the captain's illegitimate son?"
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful when the captain hears you thrown into the sea to feed the fish!"
"Anyway, the captain is not here, what are you afraid of?! Could it be that you were scared by that woman?"
"Hey! I think you're impatient! Believe it or not, I stripped your clothes and hung you on the mast with a rope."
"Come on! Let's see who hangs who!"
The crew laughed and scolded, as if they had returned to the lively atmosphere of the past. But no one seemed to be worried about the safety of Prous. Perhaps, they believed that Captain Prous would be safe from beginning to end.
At this moment, Prous, who was walking in the cabin, seemed to have a calm face. In fact, who could have thought of the nervousness in his heart. He was not walking fast, but every step was very steady. Soon, he went down to the food storage warehouse. However, he did not see Anphere.
Where has he gone?
After glanced around, the oil lamp was on and the wooden barrel was marked by the sign of being lifted. This undoubtedly shows that Anphill had come down, but it was impossible for a person to disappear for no reason.
He closed his eyes and released his perception as much as possible. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and walked towards a certain direction in the cabin without looking back.
When he walked to the door of a crew lounge, he took a deep breath and raised his hand and was about to knock on the door. He found that the door was open.
"Captain! I didn't expect it was you!"
It was Anphel who opened the door. When he saw Prous, he was surprised and intertwined.
"Anphere, why are you here?"
Prous said, but his eyes passed over the other party to observe the situation behind the door. The first thing that caught his eye was a girl kneeling beside the bed. She was holding a spoon in her hand, as if she was carefully feeding someone.
"Sir Captain, are you here?"
After Adelina put the last spoonful of honey water into Xia Lan's mouth, she breathed a sigh of relief, put the spoon and the small bowl in her hand on the table beside her, turned her head and looked at Prous outside the door and smiled.
At this moment, Pros, who was looking at Adrina, was stunned.
Because the girl's approachable and pretty appearance was completely different from the horrifying power she showed before, she seemed to have become another person.
"You are..." Prous couldn't help but say.
"Mr. Captain, my name is Adrina Georgia, Your Excellency Xialan... Well, friend? Relative?" When Adrina introduced this, she wrinkled her cute little nose with a little distress, and then said embarrassedly: "Sorry, I have caused you a lot of trouble before!"
"No, no! After all, I have had a deal with Your Excellency Xialan, and this is just my responsibility." Prous was confused for a moment and immediately returned to his spirit. "If there is nothing else, I will take Anphere away first."
"Well, I still need to take care of Mr. Xia Lan. I forgive me for not giving it to you." Adelina smiled.
"No, no, we are disturbing you!"
As he said that, Prous pulled Anphir out of the door and quickly said goodbye respectfully!
"Captain! Captain! You hurt me!"
Anphil struggled and shouted as Prous pulled away hard.
However, Prous walked forward regardless of the matter until he arrived in the storage room, and he let go of the hand holding Anphere.
"Anphel! What's going on? Why did you show up in that woman's room?!"
Faced with Prous's scattering questioning, Anphel rubbed his pulp-blue arm and said aggrievedly: "It's not because you asked me to come down, otherwise I wouldn't have met that girl."
"What I want to ask is why you showed up in her room?" Prous said in a deep breath.
"When I was hesitating and worried about how to transport food, the girl appeared behind me and asked me if I needed help. I was so scared that I quickly said no, and the girl asked me if there was fresh water here, and then I..." Anphir explained hesitantly.
"Then you sent her fresh water, including my favorite honey?" Prous glared.
"Yes..." Anfield immediately lowered his head and said, "Captain, I know I'm wrong!"
"You are right! You are doing well!" Prous shook his head and his expression returned to calm, "If it weren't for this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen the other side of that girl!"
"Yes, yes! Adrina is actually a very polite and well-behaved girl..." Anphill nodded and said as soon as he heard this.
"Did you forget how she killed the sacred knights on the ship?" Prous said with a squinted look at him.
“…”
Anphill trembled and never dared to speak out again.
"It's urgent to prepare the food for dinner first."
Prous no longer continued to discuss this matter, but pointed to the wooden barrel where the food was stored.
"Ah... Captain, you have to help me. I can't move so much food." An Fei said with a bitter face.
"Who told you to move everything?! You only need to get two meals later?!" Prous said lightly.
"Two people? What should I do if the others?"
"Oh? You talk about them? If you want, you can come down a few more times to help them move!"
