I was forced to be the captain of the ghost ship by mistake

Chapter 270 Duncan

It was a sunny day, with the afternoon sun shining on the blue waters.

The white waves slapped the big steam ship docked on the shore violently, but no matter how the wind and waves rolled, the ship stood motionless in the sea.

This ship is said to be a passenger ship refitted from a retired warship, except for the unique chimney head and sails.

The most conspicuous thing is that a row of gun positions for ammunition is installed on each side of the hull, and one is installed on the front, which is the best way to warn pirates.

The muscular, muscular sailors and guards also had muskets and sharp knives pinned to their waists, standing proudly on the deck and looking around.

This group of people living at sea have already become reliable fighters in the test of the scorching sun and sea wind. They stood at the entrance of the passage and on the deck respectively, staring majestically at the suspicious people near the port, as if warning them in this way Don't think about this ship.

In an illegal place like Narnia for smuggling and narcotics, you can hit a bunch of criminals with criminal records if you just throw a coconut down there.

The way the crew showed their muscles in this way finally gave the passengers on board a sense of security.

"The Duncan."

Tu Fu looked up at the passenger ship whose ultimate destination was the Southern Continent. The words of the ship's name were engraved on both sides of the hull.

At the waiting place of the port, the crew in charge of reception has already loudly explained the rules on the ship to the passengers,

"Let me first explain the rules on the ship, everyone must abide by it.

No gunpowder or explosives are allowed,
It is forbidden to make noise at night to disturb other people's rest.
It is forbidden to send unknown signals to the outside world... and it is forbidden to defecate anywhere. If there are any problems among passengers, please ask the guards on board to solve them, and they are not allowed to make troubles without permission. "

The last of these caveats is of course important, even though the Duncan had many metal pipes, and the firing of the boilers provided hot water for every cabin.

But the fact is that except for the first-class cabin equipped with bathroom conditions, the other cabins are shared bathrooms. After each use, you need to pay three pence as a cleaning fee. In order to save this money, some people always try to take risks.

"Sir, will the Duncan pass through the Sea of ​​Mists?"

After the speaker finished speaking the rules, a discordant voice suddenly asked.

The manager hates it when someone interrupts his conversation. He looked up and saw a family of three coming towards him. Among them, the host handed over two tickets for the first-class cabin.

The anger that just started dissipated immediately, and he replied sincerely:
"Of course, my lord, although the final destination of the 'Duncan' is the Southern Continent.

But because the journey is too far, we always need to add fuel to some islands in the middle. It only takes half a month to walk from the Coral Sea to the Misty Sea, and we will replenish some fuel on the islands there.

You will be delighted that you made the right decision to choose the first-class cabin, where besides the private bathroom, there are servants’ rooms, professionally trained waiters, a chef who can cook at will, and a quiet dining environment...”

"More importantly, the passengers near my cabin must all be civilized people with good manners."

When the latter heard this, he sneered and said, "Of course, that's exactly the case."

"Honey, let's go and see if what this gentleman said is true."

Tu Fu casually took out a few pule change from his wallet as a tip,
This generous act not only won the other party's exclamation and gratitude, but even the little girl Cindy who had been following closely behind her widened her eyes.

Born in Leicester Street, she has no understanding of such a culture.

After boarding the Duncan, Tu Fu was very familiar with all this, because he also experienced similar luxury services on the Homecoming, so he naturally knew this set well.

The price of the first-class cabin is 45 crowns, the second-class cabin is 15 crowns, and the simplest third-class cabin without windows only costs 5 crowns.

Different types of cabins are distributed in different areas. In addition to fearing that people in low-level cabins will disturb the first-class passengers, it is more important to prevent ordinary passengers from seeing the services of first-class guests, so as not to be affected by the different treatment. little heart.

It can be described as quite humane.

"Gosh, he just called me darling, it seems like it's the second time, it's crazy."

Miss Winster, who hooked Tufu's arm, blushed a lot when she heard his strange name.

Yes,

They are still playing a bunch of lovers in love at this time, of course it is no problem to use such a title.

But calling it that way in private is completely different from addressing it in front of others.

Is this a relationship?
But this bastard hasn't formally expressed his heart to him yet.

"I thought you would keep a low profile when you go out, heh, rich Mr. Sparrow." Sophie thought a lot, and then said in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Low-key? By God, I've already been kicked out of the country, why bother to torture myself."

Tu Fu laughed self-deprecatingly, "The money earned by one's ability should be spent by one's ability. If I had only bought a second-class ticket before coming to Narnia and rented a single-room suite, it would not be so easy for us. succeed.

Let's think about it in another way. As a salesman, instead of selling things to ordinary passengers who don't have much money in their pockets, it's better to target rich gentlemen and ladies who always like to spend more money to buy the same things. .

You don't have to lie to the poor to be condemned by conscience, and the rich to be happy because of it, and you also digest the potion because of it.Wouldn't it be better if three happy people appeared in the world out of nowhere.

I would like to call this approach the law of average happiness! "

"The law of average happiness sounds reasonable."

Sophie's eyes lit up at the same time.

This is why Tu Fu has always regarded himself as a rich gentleman "Jack Sparrow". like him.

So much so... Sometimes I almost forget that I am actually a person who lives with a mask.

Seems like a good thing to keep going, if you can live more comfortably with lies and false identities.

……

After arriving at the first-class cabin area, after the kind-hearted Miss Winster packed her luggage, she couldn't wait to say hello to the rich gentlemen here, and by the way, choose someone who was easy to get her hands on.

Fortunately, the Winsters were not here, otherwise, hearing Tu Fu's absurd "law of average happiness" would definitely show him what true "happiness" is.

In a blink of an eye, only Tu Fu and Cindy were left in the first-class cabin with complete living facilities.

The little girl was very diligent in her hands and feet. When she arrived at the place, she helped lay the sheets and cleaned the cabin by the way.

Even though Tufu claimed that there would be a waiter cleaning every day, the stubborn Cindy insisted on doing so. She patiently and conscientiously completed every chore, just like a real maid.

The little girl seemed to be using her actions to prove her usefulness, to prove that she was not useless, even though the host didn't care about it at all.

Looking at the busy figure, Tu Fu took two sips of the freshly brewed fruit tea, with a complicated expression on his face.

Seeing the figure of the original owner when he first arrived at Winster's house, in order to better integrate into the original owner of that house, why not try to be lovable in different ways.

"Cough cough..."

He coughed lightly, and planned to get down to business: "Cindy, this is our second meeting. It's really amazing that you traveled with us in a blink of an eye."

Sensing the questioning in Tu Fu's words, the little girl's sly eyes kept turning:

"Because my sister..."

"I know her better than you, so you don't have to explain those reasons to me. That's not important. The important thing is that you live with us now, so you should know how important your words and actions will be in the future."

Tu Fu took off the hat on his head and said casually: "I know your past, and I sympathize with your experience. No one can choose their own birth, but at least they can choose their own future and what kind of person they will become.

Since you chose to come out with us, you just want to have a better future, that's no problem, we will take you back to the North Continent after everything is over so you can go to school or do something else.

But if one day I know that you have done something against us, I promise you will go back where you came from. "

He was giving a warning to the little girl who came out of Lysant Street in Narnia. People who have worked hard from that kind of place to the present have no idea how much thought they have, and they need to be punished.

"I understand." Cindy listened to his words silently, nodded after a moment of silence.

"very good."

Only then did Tu Fu smile, and handed over a stack of small denomination banknotes,
By the way, he took out a jar of frosting sugar from his backpack, "I want you to do something for me, put some of these things under the railing of the deck while others are not paying attention.

Every day, let me know when something changes.

But don't tell your sister about this. "
