Chapter 1144: Cucumbers
Gu Boyang took out a plate of cucumbers from behind like a conjurer, mixed with balsamic vinegar, a sour smell penetrated into Bai Zhi’s nose, and it smelled quite appetizing.
“Where did the cucumbers come from?” Since they got on the boat, all they ate were the food brought on the boat from the United Kingdom. The islands they passed along the way were either uncivilized primitive tribes, or there were no people at all. They can’t get fresh food.
Gu Boyang said, “I brought the cucumbers that I planted in the United Kingdom on the boat. It bore fruit a few days ago. Today I can finally eat them, so I picked them off.”
It turned out that when he got on the boat that day, he held a pot with young plants. At that time, she wanted to ask him about it, but she forgot later on. She didn’t expect it to be a cucumber.
With the crispy and sour cucumbers, she actually ate two bowls of white porridge, and Xiao Qing ate three bowls.
After eating a whole plate of cucumbers, she didn’t vomit, and she felt much better.
“I didn’t expect you to know how to grow vegetables.” Bai Zhi smiled.
Gu Boyang sighed: “I didn’t understand before, after being trapped on that island, if you want something to eat, you have to find a way. Those people can only eat fish, they can’t grow vegetables, if I want to eat, I can only grow my own.”
Thinking of his hardships for more than ten years, Bai Zhi sighed: “We’re finally here, don’t worry, you will definitely find a way to go back, and you will definitely be able to reunite with your wife and children.”
Gu Boyang nodded: “Yes, definitely.”
Xiao Qing didn’t understand, so she interrupted and asked, “Aren’t we going back to the Chu? What other way to go back? Isn’t Brother Gu a native of Chu?”
Gu Boyang smiled and said nothing, got up with an empty plate, and limped away.
He never really left, this cabin will always be in his sight, there were two girls Bai Zhi and Xiao Qing, but there were dozens or hundreds of men on board.
All of them were strong and had been away from home for a long time. If he doesn’t keep an eye on them, he was not sure what the drunk crew will do.
Several times, someone tried to enter their cabins while the night was dark and windy, but was scolded away by him. Since then, he has not dared to be careless.
Fortunately, Master Wu took good care of them, otherwise, there would be no peace along the way.
Because of this kind of care, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
In the near afternoon of the next day, Master Wu sent his subordinates to inform Bai Zhi and Gu Boyang that they had arrived and were about to enter the port.
Bai Zhi and Xiao Qing packed their things early, but they didn’t have much. They only had a bag of clothes, a box of sundries, and two boxes of silver coins.
One of the boxes was the wealth she has accumulated in the past three years, and the other box was the commission from the sale of ointment.
She weighed two boxes of silver coins, and the total weight was three or four hundred taels, which was not too much.
Gu Boyang’s luggage was even simpler, with two clothes, a bank note on his body, and a few miscellaneous items, all in one suitcase.
After the cargo ship entered the port, the people at the port were boiling. Many of the people there were family members of the crew. They waited here every day and hoped that they had brought their husbands and sons back.
The crew couldn’t wait to unload the cargo, and jumped ashore one after another to reunite with their families. It was not until Master Wu came to remind them that they parted reluctantly and continued their unfinished work.
Seeing this, Gu Boyang felt very sad. His wife, like these women, must have been waiting at the port for her long-lost husband to come back.
