Ten days later, the heartless sea hare began his hunting trip again because of his relaxed state of mind.
There was a disadvantage of being on the sea. There was a lack of fresh water, so bathing was a very luxurious thing. Bathing once every ten days was considered frequent. Low-level sailors like Lou Xiaoyi would not use the precious fresh water on the ship until they reached the shore. Of course, this was not a conscious decision, but an iron law.
On a long-distance sailing ship, bathing water was the only service that required a separate fee. For the same reason, the most prosperous business at any port was not even the restaurants, but the bathhouses.
Therefore, it was not that the sea hare had turned over a new leaf, but that this was the first opportunity after he finally became smart.
There were dozens of guests on the ship, but only a few could afford an expensive bath. Among them, the most willing to pay was the group of dancers. Their professional instincts could not be tainted.
When bathing on land, of course, everyone stayed in a separate room with a big basin to serve them. The maids would wipe their backs, the servants would serve them soup, and the fresh flowers would be sprinkled. There was enough water to soak the whole body. However, under the conditions at sea, it was obviously impossible to do so. No matter how rich you were, it was impossible to supply enough clean water. There were strict restrictions after deducting the savings after drinking.
Therefore, they could only use two basins of water to save money. In fact, it was not bathing in the normal sense. It was just wiping the body, scrubbing the back, and dipping the towel in water. One basin was rough scrubbing, one basin was fine scrubbing, one basin was black, and one basin was muddy.
Such a scene was very satisfying. It was much better than a normal situation where one's entire body was submerged in the basin and they could not see anything. It was truly a scene of turbulent waves. The white light was dazzling, and the sounds of orioles and swaying willows could be heard. Her every movement caused one's imagination to run wild.
The sea hare had a new career fantasy. In fact, a scrubbing worker was much more practical than a lookout, right?
Of course, such an opportunity could not be missed. This was a large open cabin, with portholes on both sides. The ventilation was very good. The ship was alone on the sea, and it was on the second floor, so it was relatively safe.
However, this was not a problem for those who were lustful!
The sea hare was lying on the porthole on the left side of the ship. Sometimes it was facing up, sometimes it was hanging upside down, and sometimes it was lying sideways. It was enjoying the view from various angles and different lighting!
He had been immersed in this field for a long time, so he knew how to see clearly and how to prevent the people in the cabin from noticing the drooling face outside. Putting your face on the porthole definitely wouldn't work. Even though the porthole was dark on the outside, the people in the cabin could still easily see the situation outside with the help of the light from the corner of the cabin. Therefore, he covered his head with a black cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed.
Most importantly, he had secretly hung an infuriating lantern on the horizontal bar of the mast on his side! There was a strong light shining from outside the porthole, and the people inside were blinded by the high beam. If one did not look carefully, one would not notice that there was a pair of big eyes outside that were brighter than the wind lanterns.
This move was not a habit of his. Instead, it was something that he had naturally comprehended after the great change in his mindset. It was as if he was born with this talent.
There were still eight dancers left. Although everyone was naked and it was very awkward, they had been on the ship for a long time, so they could only get used to this kind of awkward bath scene. What else could they do if they were not used to it? The sea was humid, and they had to practice to maintain their condition. Sweat had accumulated on their bodies for more than ten days, and they could not endure it any longer.
Therefore, they did not pay much attention to the formalities. They did not cover themselves with gauze because washing clothes on the ship was as difficult as bathing. They helped each other and rubbed each other. When they rubbed the itch, they laughed and laughed, and almost caused an accident outside the porthole!
The sea hare was dazzled, but at least he knew that this was not the time to solve it. Even though he had a feast for the eyes, his hands were sore. He had to rely on his hands to support his body for a long time and constantly adjust the angle. Even though he was a Force user, his arms were also tired.
He had to rest. His hands were sore, and so were his eyes! This was only the first half, and he needed to conserve his energy. Especially his eyes. As a lookout, he could easily find a small boat dozens of miles away in the sea. If it was placed in front of him, he would be able to see even the slightest hair.
He even wanted to remind a certain dancer, "Hello, there are two strands of hair on your towel …"
The sea hare, who liked to help others, adjusted his footing to relax his arms. At this time, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the mast, and he felt that something was wrong.
The reason was, why was there an extra wind lantern hanging on the horizontal bar of the mast?
Ships sailing at night required navigation lights. The position of the navigation light was under the lookout that he was usually on duty. It was a very large and special navigation light, used to point out the position of other ships in the dark to prevent collisions.
However, there could only be one such light on a ship. If there were more, it would confuse other ships. The darkness of the sea was deep, and this was the rule of navigation.
The sea hare broke this rule and used a small lantern to provide cover for himself. However, when he was resting, he was surprised to find that there were three lanterns on the mast of the Roc. In addition to the main lantern and the one he lit, there was another one, which was also on the auxiliary mast. It was even on the same horizontal bar as his lantern. The only difference was that one was on the left and the other on the right!
His lantern was shining on the port porthole of the dancer's cabin, and the other one was obviously shining on the right porthole!
He immediately realized that he had met a fellow traveler. Oh no, a fellow traveler?
For a moment, anger rose from his heart, and evil grew from his guts! This is a human disease. I can see it, but you can't!
He didn't care about the spring scenery anymore. With such an audacious existence, how could he not teach him a lesson? If one day he was discovered, he would bring him out!
With a flip of his right hand, a short thorn appeared in his hand, and he quietly moved along the cabin roof to the opposite side. However, what he didn't expect was that the other party's reaction was not inferior to his. Both of them were wearing black masks and holding short thorns, but the strange spectator was holding them while he was holding them in reverse.
Neither of them tried to talk to each other, and with a pair of thorns, they immediately engaged in battle!
At first, the sea hare was worried because he had never fought in his life, let alone a life and death battle! However, when he was forced to this point, he couldn't back down!
In his opinion, he should be very powerful, but in the actual battle, his self-confidence was severely damaged!
The opponent's short thorns were sharp, his reaction was agile, and his attacks were ruthless. Each of the short thorns was aimed at his vital points, and in just a few breaths, he almost lost his life! If it wasn't for his desperate struggle before death, he wondered how long he could last in the hands of this person.
Danger suddenly came, and those distracting thoughts were completely thrown to the back of his mind. His whole body seemed to be controlled by instinct, and he instinctively counterattacked with his thorns. Only then did he manage to tie with the stranger, but it was still not enough.
It turned out that his thinking was very naive. He was still the sea hare with no ability!
The sea hare was somewhat regretful. He thought that he was different from others, but that was only his thought. Now that he was serious, he was exposed.
