26 rum (1)

The ferry that Danica and Corres took was to go to the sea along the Gris River, and then arrive at Melens along the coastline. There are many harbor cities along the way, and it is very convenient to get supplies, so there was no right on the boat - at least the top-class passengers like Danica and Corres were too fine and demanding on daily necessities, and it was OK to wash or even take a bath. Of course, this requires an extra payment. After all, stopping at the port, purchasing supplies is also costing money.

This is not a small amount. The 100 gold coins that Danica and Corres had made for the extra 100 gold coins that were several times their boat tickets. Not everyone can afford this money. Most people, including passengers and crew, could only survive in the cramped, dark, humid, and vicious fishy cabin. In this way, when the ship stops and rests in the middle, everyone relaxes. Except for the few crew members who stayed behind, everyone goes to enjoy and relax on the shore.

This is the first time Danica has seen the sea and the first time she has taken a boat. It is said that people like her who are not familiar with sea life cannot rest well on the boat. The feeling of shaking anytime and anywhere is not something that everyone can get used to quickly. If they can get a chance to dock and step on the solid ground again, of course they have to hurry up. But strangely, although they are not very good in complexion, Danica still chose to stay on the boat. Maybe it was to accompany her, or maybe she was simply afraid that this guy would run away, so Cures did not choose to go ashore, and stayed on the boat like Danica.

It was noon at this time, and the temperature in the southern coastal areas was already high. Although it was already autumn winds in Haka Town, the temperature here was still above 30 degrees during the day, and it would be even hotter if the sun was low. In addition, it was another sunny day, with cloudlessness, and the bright sun hanging in the sky exuded fire, and the sea surface was steaming with air waves.

At this moment, Danica pushed open the door and walked out carefully. She came to the deck, stretched her body casually, and took the opportunity to observe everything around her. There was no one on the boat. The only remaining crew members stayed in the room for lunch after dinner, and there was even a hint of silence in the originally noisy pier.

It's a good time.

The ship they were on would dock here for a day and would set off tomorrow morning. In order to allow the crew and passengers, and of course, more importantly, Captain Birch could enjoy the indulgence for one night, he directed the crew to transport the supplies needed to be replenished in the morning, which was equivalent to rest time in the afternoon and evening.

That is to say, the fresh water and food needed for the ship's sailing in the next few days were in the cabin at Danica's feet.

After observing the surrounding environment, she confirmed that no one noticed it at all. Danica "camera" strolled on the deck, and after walking for a while, she walked to the entrance of the cabin. She seemed to be curious about the somewhat dark entrance. She looked inside and shouted, "Is anyone?" Of course, she would not get any answer, because she was sure that there was no one in the cabin under the deck, and the only three crew members who stayed here had been given potions by themselves and were sleeping soundly. This performance was just for caution.

After waiting for a while, as if he couldn't help but couldn't contain his curiosity, Danica walked in carefully.

The cabin below the deck was a little dark, and the smell was disgusting. Danica covered her mouth and nose and slowly groped inside. Although she had never been here, she had already found out the structure here. After all, this was not a secret, and the structural structure of this ship was generally consistent.

After exploring in a slightly dark environment for a while, Danica finally found what she wanted, a large barrel of rum, which was prepared for the crew and those underclass passengers who were addicted to alcohol. Although they could not taste the smooth taste of rum, it was also very exciting and refreshing when drinking it in large gulps. This alcohol content is high and cheaper thirst-quenching drink has always been the favorite of crew sailors.

Danica's actions went smoothly, and no one suddenly appeared in the middle of the journey to disrupt her plan. After more than ten minutes, she returned to the deck.

As soon as she came back, Danica's heart thumped a few times. She didn't expect that there would be passengers going out to return to the boat at this time. It's noon now, shouldn't he find a place to indulge in rest?

Unexpectedly, Danica met a middle-aged man in ragged clothes. He was very thin, like a withered stalk, which would break when blown by the wind. He had long hair, but it had not been taken care of for a long time, and the whole hair was entangled. Danica even saw a few small flying insects crawling around in it. They wouldn't treat it as their nest, right?

The man was holding a bottle in his hand, which should be wine, and it was rum, brown-red, slightly turbid, and it was not a good wine. It was probably not as good as the barrel of rum she saw on the bottom of the cabin just now.

Danica glanced at him and looked at him curiously, but she didn't say anything. She even looked a little contempt, and then turned around and wanted to leave.

Although he was seen, it does not mean that he failed in his actions. That guy was just a passenger in the lower class, his miserable appearance was no different from the beggars on the street. Is what he said trustworthy? Does anyone believe it? If he explains at this time, it means that he is guilty. Since he is guilty, he must have done something shameful, and then he will be endless trouble.

Danica just glanced at him a few times and was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, the guy spoke instead: "I can feel that your heart is full of malice."

Danica's body stiffened and her steps paused. Although this sentence was very accurate and correct, she did not intend to admit it just like that. Danica adjusted her posture in time and continued to move forward. Even those who had been observing her might not be able to find the stiffness and discomfort at such a moment.
