Chapter 15: Meeting on a Narrow Road



There was no doubt that someone else had been on this ship.

Lu Xuan stood up alertly and looked around.

Apart from the occasional waves hitting the hull and the shore, there seemed to be no other movement.

Lu Xuan still didn't dare to be careless. Even though he had already entered the cabin, he would still look at the situation outside from time to time.

The interior of the cabin was still a mess. Lu Xuan had a clear goal today. The first thing he did was to find a way to climb to the kitchen at the stern to look for seasonings and other ingredients.

What’s frustrating is that after trying many times, Lu Xuan still can’t climb up successfully. There is no foothold at all on the kitchen side.

Lu Xuan had to give up temporarily and began to explore the bow of the ship.

After moving around the piles of tables, chairs, benches, and coffee tables that were piled up like a mountain, Lu Xuan finally found a low door. After kicking it open, he made another discovery.

This is a tool room, which is equipped with hammers, scissors, saws, various screws and bolts, ropes, and everything else you need.

Seeing the room full of tools, Lu Xuan was so happy that he couldn't express it in words. It is said that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. No matter how good the idea is, it will be useless if you don't have the right tools.

Lu Xuan even regretted not taking the water route and bringing the lifeboat.

Looks like I'll have to do it again tomorrow.

In order to prevent this place from being discovered, Lu Xuan just took a small machete, a pair of scissors, and a bundle of strong hemp rope, then closed the small door and covered the place again with tables and chairs.

With the hemp rope, there is a way to get to the kitchen room at the top.

Lu Xuan tried several times and finally hung the rope on the kitchen door frame. Then, holding the hemp rope in his hand, he climbed into the kitchen step by step.

After going through untold hardships, Lu Xuan finally entered this place standing high on the top of the beach.

This kitchen did not disappoint Lu Xuan. He found various seasonings in the kitchen cupboards. Although most of them had expired, he still found two unopened bags of salt and a bag of thirteen-spice seasoning, which were still within the shelf life due to their long shelf life.

What excited Lu Xuan the most was that he found several large bags of plastic-wrapped rice. Not only were they well preserved, but their production date was a year ago. It seemed that the ship had been stranded for only about a year.

Lu Xuan also found a flatbed trolley in the corner of the cabinet. This was another good thing. The only thing that bothered Lu Xuan was that it seemed to be stuck in the cabinet due to some deformation. He tried very hard to pull it out, but it didn't work. He had no choice but to give up for the time being and just smash the cabinet with an axe the next time he came back.

Because Lu Xuan came alone today, he really couldn't carry so many things, so after thinking for a moment, he simply decided not to take anything in the kitchen this time. Anyway, without the help of a hemp rope, no normal person would be able to enter the kitchen, let alone take these supplies away.

Following the hemp rope, Lu Xuan returned to the cabin.

Although Lu Xuan was exhausted and out of breath from climbing up and down, when he thought of his great discovery today, he felt that it was all worth it.

This solo trip was quite fruitful. Lu Xuan replenished some energy in the cabin, drank a whole bottle of mineral water, and prepared to return with his small machete, hemp rope and scissors.

After all this busyness, looking at the position of the sun, it is estimated that it is already around two or three in the afternoon. Even if everything goes well, it will still take nearly two hours to get back.

Lu Xuan was unwilling to climb the cliff in the pitch dark environment, so he did not dare to stay for too long and decisively chose to retreat first and fight again another day.

But just when Lu Xuan jumped off the side of the boat, two figures appeared in front of him.

"Lu Xuan..."

The man had a hairstyle that was a mess. Although it had lost its original style due to the wind, sun and rain, the man still pretended to be cool and smoothed his bangs in front of Lu Xuan.

Standing next to the man was a woman with long straight black hair, an oval face, a cherry mouth, and fair skin.

The woman was wearing a pair of seemingly ordinary tight jeans, but they still outlined her long and straight legs.

She wore a simple yet elegant sleeveless cardigan. The light fabric swayed gently in the wind, revealing a glimpse of delicate skin beneath her collarbone, adding a touch of casual sexiness. Although her eyes occasionally flashed with an unconcealable look of fatigue, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.

"Zhang Cong? Yang Yaqi?"

Lu Xuan was very familiar with this person. His name was Zhang Cong, a well-known rich second-generation in the company. He had just returned from studying abroad a year ago and was working as the company's deputy purchasing manager. Although it was called deputy manager, it was actually a sinecure. Who could blame him for having such a good father?

It is said that Zhang Cong's father is a small shareholder of the company. He has no other requirements for his son except that he does not gamble or take drugs. So he used the back door to throw his beloved son into this foreign trade company in order to prevent his son from interacting with bad people.

As for the woman next to Zhang Cong, Lu Xuan was even more familiar with her. She was his former girlfriend, but unfortunately, ever since she had landed on Zhang Cong's high pedigree, she had long since forgotten about Lu Xuan, a poor loser. After all, this world is a world where everyone relies on their fathers.

"Lu Xuan, why are you here? I thought you hadn't even gotten off the boat..."

Yang Yaqi's seemingly casual words made Lu Xuan frown.

The woman's meaning was very clear. She relied on Zhang Cong's support to get on the lifeboat in the first batch. As for Lu Xuan, who was slow to realize it, or it was not him who realized it, and no one reminded him that the yacht had launched a lifeboat, he might not even be qualified to board the lifeboat, and could only wait to die on the yacht.
