Chapter 367 Why is there a donkey braying at sea?
Last night she stayed up too late and worked too hard. Today, in order to hitch a ride on a patrol boat back to Dongming Island, she got up very early. Cen Yan kept having intermittent dreams the whole way, looking completely exhausted.
Many of the soldiers patrolling the ship had families. Seeing Cen Yan like this, and noticing Qi Jingchuan looking so energetic as if he had taken a super tonic, they started to tease and joke with her.
"Our regimental commander is a fierce and vigorous man. Let's see who in the army will dare to spread rumors about his unhappy marriage with his wife in the future."
"Who can argue with that? But the commander is being too inconsiderate of women. What if he exhausts his wife?"
"Yes, yes, my wife has threatened me several times that if I don't restrain myself, she won't come with me to the army and will take our son back to our hometown."
"Have you said enough?" Qi Jingchuan put his arm around Cen Yan and covered her ears with his two large hands, as if worried that she had heard these "filthy words".
The man suddenly asked a question, and the soldiers patrolling the ship waved their hands repeatedly.
"Commander, we didn't say anything, hehe, don't misunderstand..."
"With such high spirits, after you return to the unit and hand over your shifts, every single one of you will run fifty laps around the parade ground! You're not allowed to go home until you finish!" Qi Jingchuan was a man of his word; what he said had to be done.
Instantly, cries of anguish filled the ship: "No!! Commander, we know we were wrong, we'll never gossip about you and your wife again! Please forgive us this time, it's our first offense!!!"
Cen Yan was startled by the scream and quickly opened her eyes, no longer sleepy.
"Qi Jingchuan, what's going on? Why is there a donkey braying at sea?"
Qi Jingchuan was quite angry just now, angry at his soldiers, who were all like gossipy old women, talking about this family, that family, and other people's bedroom affairs, without any seriousness.
Now, when his wife told him that their cries were bitter and unpleasant, like the braying of donkeys, his mood immediately improved.
"You might be having a dream. It's still a while before we get to the island. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
The patrol boats patrol from noon every day until noon the next day, with shifts changing. Although they can give the couple a ride along the way, they can't afford to waste too much time, and the scheduled patrol tasks must be completed on time.
Therefore, the couple would not be able to return to Dongming Island until noon.
Cen Yan glanced at her watch. She and Qi Jingchuan boarded the ship at five in the morning, and before she knew it, it was already ten in the morning. She had actually slept on and off for more than four hours.
"I've slept enough, and it's uncomfortable to sleep sitting up, my back aches." Cen Yan yawned, got up and walked to the deck to look out, and stretched as she did so.
Qi Jingchuan stood behind her, his strong arm around her waist: "Be careful not to fall."
"I'm not stupid."
Cen Yan pushed him away and walked towards where the luggage was.
“I’ve packed some food and drinks in the box. Take it and share it with the comrades. They’ve been patrolling all day, and they’re probably only eating flatbread and drinking cold water. We can’t just hitch a ride on their boat for free.”
"When did you prepare?" Qi Jingchuan asked in surprise. His wife had been with him all night and hadn't had time to go out at all. Could it be that she went out in the afternoon?
Cen Yan couldn't possibly tell Qi Jingchuan that she made everything in her spatial dimension, so she rolled her eyes at him.
"I'm not a criminal. Why should I be under your watchful eye all the time, with you knowing everything I do?"
"Here you go! Braised pork chops and braised beef. Although they are both cold dishes, they are still easier to eat than dry food and biscuits. Can we start a fire on this boat? I'll also stew some seaweed soup so we can have something hot to warm ourselves up."
