Chapter 58: Do your job well and consider it as your food allowance. ...
The small pond on the boat was originally used to raise fish. It existed on the boat even before it was upgraded. Otherwise, the fish would die easily if they were not kept in water after being caught.
After several upgrades, the pond is now much larger than it was at the beginning, but they no longer need to raise fish, so they turned the pond into a place for bathing and swimming.
Bai Xi was somewhat prepared for the situation of the three people, but when he really saw them go into the water and reveal their shapeless skin, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Before long, the water in the pool turned black and red.
Part of it was mud on their bodies, and part of it was blood scabs washed off their bodies.
There was no obvious bleeding wound, but even the blood scabs made the pool of water unbearable to look at.
The three men also saw the dirt in the pool, but they did not cry for the scars on their bodies. Instead, they apologized again and again, saying sorry for dirtying the water in the pool.
"The water in the pool is fine and can be replaced, but your injuries are severe," Bai Xi whispered. "Come up later and I'll give you some herbal medicine."
As she spoke, she drained the water from the pool, then took out a water bag with a large water storage capacity and filled the pool with clean water again.
After washing twice, their bodies were clean, revealing new and old scars all over their bodies.
Bai Xi brought out bellybands and panties and asked them to change into them before covering them with the herbs that had been prepared in advance.
When Bai Yu finished dealing with the pirate ship and came over, he saw this scene and couldn't help but clench his fists: "How could those pirates be so cruel?"
"So they are pirates," Bai Xi said, carefully using the herbs. She couldn't help but say something harsh, "Sister, we must deal with those pirates. They have injured countless people!"
"Well, we'll set off early tomorrow morning." Bai Yu couldn't bear to watch it, so he turned around and looked at the drained pool, then took the water bag to clean it.
After using herbal medicine to heal the three people's injuries, Bai Xi placed them in the cabin on the first floor, let them sleep in one room, and told them to have a good rest before returning to the second floor.
Only then did she have time to talk to Bai Yu about the pirate ship: "Is it placed in the forest plane?"
"Well, but there's not much room, so we'll just leave it tilted for now. If the ship proves to be of no use, we can just chop it up with an axe later," Bai Yu said, pointing to a box nearby. "This is the cloth we took off the pirate ship. What do you think we'll do with it?"
Bai Xi walked over to the box, opened it, and saw the fabric inside. He touched it and said, "It's so smooth. Is this the silk material mentioned in the book?"
"I don't know much about fabrics either." Bai Xi was in charge of all matters related to clothes and fabrics. When she read, she tended to read more books related to fabrics. "Anyway, it's all here. You can figure it out for yourself."
Bai Xi nodded and took out a piece of white soft material from inside: "This can be used as an inner garment."
At this point, she looked at Bai Yu and said, "Sister, can we give the sewing to the three people downstairs? It's very simple, they can learn how to do it. When I was with them just now, they kept saying sorry, as if they didn't want to trouble us. Letting them do something might help."
Bai Yu agreed to her suggestion: "Then you teach them how to do it."
Bai Xi stood up and dug out a few pieces of cotton cloth from the corner of the cabin: "Let's use this. We have saved a lot of cotton cloth these days, and we don't need it normally. We can let them make their own clothes."
After saying what needed to be said, they began to pack up and go to bed.
The ship was at sea and it was impossible for them to leave completely, so they slept on the ship during these few days.
Fortunately, today's ships are larger than before, and there are anchors to stabilize the position of the ship, so it will not shake too much with the waves. Even if you sleep on the boat at night, you can still sleep comfortably.
Late at night, the people in the first cabin suddenly woke up.
When one person woke up, he also woke up the other two people who were not asleep.
The windows were translucent, and the moonlight outside faintly entered the cabin, making it less dark, but it was already dark, and it was not that bright. When I raised my palm, I still couldn't see my fingers.
"Am I dead?"
"Is he dead? Not saved?"
"What happened today seemed like a dream. Was it a dream after we die? Are we all dead?"
"After we died, we had the same dream?"
"It hurts so much, my body hurts so much. Can a dead person still feel pain? Why didn't my parents come to find me? Have they forgotten me?"
"Is he really dead? Is this really a dream?"
"It's a bit like a dream. They are three people, and we are three people too, right?"
As they talked, the sounds in the cabin gradually faded away.
The three were still awake, but they just sat there, no one spoke, as if they were quietly feeling the tranquility after "death".
For a long, long time, there was still no change in the cabin.
"Are we really dead?"
"Pain? I've heard people say that after death, there's no more pain. Why do we still feel pain after we die?"
"We are still on the boat."
As he spoke, someone stood up, walked to the door in the dim moonlight, and reached out to push open the cabin door.
"Can we leave the cabin now?"
Another person followed.
The man in front walked out of the cabin and onto the deck.
The moonlight outside was bright enough for them to roughly see each other and the full moon in the distance.
And this moon was one they hadn't seen for a long time.
The three of them stood on the deck and looked at the moon quietly for a while.
"It's nice to be able to see the moon before dying."
“The water is so beautiful at night.”
One of them walked to the edge of the deck, looked down at the water, and laughed: "There is a moon in the water, too. It's so big, it seems like you can catch it at any time."
"Go catch the moon?" Another person walked up to her.
The third person followed and also looked at the moon in the water quietly.
They all had the urge to go down and catch the moon.
At this moment, the window of the second-floor cabin opened and a head popped out: "What are you doing on the deck? Go back to bed. It's so late and you're still not asleep."
The three of them looked up at the same time.
"What did she say?"
"Can't understand."
"I don't understand either. I can only understand what that little girl said."
Bai Yu was lying by the window, vaguely seeing their puzzled expressions. She knew that they couldn't understand what she was saying, but Bai Miao was sleeping at the moment. She was still young and needed enough sleep, so she couldn't be woken up.
But language barriers don’t mean we can’t communicate.
Bai Yu waved at them, pointed to the location of a cabin on the first floor, and then put his hands together on his cheeks, pretending to rest.
Now all three of them understood her actions.
"Shall we go to bed?"
"It seems so, but you can't catch the moon this way."
"Will you be able to die painlessly if you fall asleep?"
"Then go back to sleep, and everything will be fine once you fall asleep."
"Um."
As the three of them were talking, they looked up at Bai Yu who was lying by the window, smiled at her, then walked towards the cabin and entered.
Bai Yu kept looking down, making sure that they had all entered the cabin before lying down and continuing to sleep.
I slept until dawn.
When Bai Yu woke up in the morning, he realized what had happened yesterday. He quickly got up and went downstairs. He opened the door of the cabin downstairs and saw that the three of them were sleeping soundly, so he closed the door again.
When Bai Xi woke up, she told her about this the first thing she said: "You are right, their condition doesn't look right, it seems they don't want to live anymore. You should teach them how to make clothes as soon as possible. They might feel better if they have something to do."
Bai Xi was also shocked.
Although he had no relationship with the three of them, he was saved by them after all.
They are not pirates and should not die quietly in the sea like pirates. They should have a better future and live well.
Bai Xi packed up her sewing stuff, prepared some food, and knocked on the door of the first-floor cabin.
After knocking for a long time, the person inside responded.
The moment he saw her, the person who opened the door opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe that she appeared in front of him again. Looking at the bright sun in the distance, he still felt a little dazzling.
Bai Xi discussed the situation of these three people with Bai Yu. Without saying much, he just smiled and sent the food in.
Without Bai Miao to translate, she simply put the food down and gestured for them to eat.
Then he put down the cloth and needle and thread he had brought with him, opened the window on the other side, letting the bright light from the sea breeze blow into the cabin, and then left the cabin.
The other two sat quietly and didn't speak until Bai Xi left.
"Another day has passed. Is it really dawn?"
"The dead can't see the sun? We saw the sun?"
"It's bright. It's just as bright today."
"Do you want to eat something?"
The two stunned people immediately stood up, walked to the table and picked up the bowls.
Their meal in the morning was still meat porridge, which was not as hot as yesterday. It tasted just right and their hungry stomachs were instantly filled with the warm meat porridge.
After eating, the three of them put their hands on their stomachs at the same time.
"I'm full again."
"Can a dead person have a full meal every day? Life here seems to be better than before we were captured by pirates."
“This porridge is so delicious.”
"If the dead can live such a good life, I want to stay here forever."
"Will it? Can I?"
As the three of them were talking, Bai Xi pulled Bai Miao, who had just washed up, in.
"You have to work on the boat. The work you do counts as your food allowance," Bai Xi said, pointing to the sewing basket that had been placed in the cabin early that morning. "I'm going to teach you how to make clothes. You can't leave the boat until you've finished making clothes. Do you understand?"
The three of them looked at each other.
Then he asked in surprise, "As long as we make clothes, can we stay on the boat forever?"
Bai Xi nodded: "But you have to do your job well. You can't just say you won't do it. You can't leave the ship without my permission."
I can't rush towards the sea like I did last night.
The three of them didn't think too much about it. After receiving a positive answer, they nodded repeatedly: "We will definitely do a good job!"
