In the dining room.
In the kitchen.
As there were very few passengers eating today, there were not many cleaners arranged. However, there was still a lot of cleaning work that needed to be done in the morning and afternoon.
It was a lot of work to hand all of this over to one person.
A busy figure walked around the cleaning area of the kitchen.
First, he washed all the dirty plates that had piled up into a small mountain in the sink and placed them back on the shelf. Then, he soaked the mop with water and carefully bent down to wipe every corner of the kitchen. Finally, all kinds of kitchen waste were packed into bags and thrown into the sea.
After I’m done, I’m done. I’m done. I’m done. I’m done. I’m done. I’m done.
Although it seemed like simple work, only after doing it did one realize how hard and tiring it was, especially when Ann was injured.
In this way, it seemed that the third thing that the kitchen crew did not like the most was to deal with the kitchen waste. On the contrary, it was the easiest for
Ann.
Because of the various sauces, leftovers, and dirty, ugly, and sticky kitchen waste, Ann, who had stayed at the bottom of the cabin for three days, might have already gotten used to it.
However, it was all worth it.
After resting for a while, Ann took out a small lunch box that she had prepared. There was some cooked vegetable soup in the kitchen, but for various reasons, it was not served, so it was put aside. It should have been thrown away with the kitchen waste.
Although it was already cold and the taste was not as good as when it was just out of the pot, it was still far from the amount that the laborers distributed every day. There was not even meat or oil. It was much better.
If it was just her alone, it would not matter. But now that God had sent a new life to her side, Ann felt that she had to be responsible for it.
An Zhuan picked out some meat dishes and placed them into the lunch box. After filling it up, he carefully placed it back into the bag in his arms. He was a little impatient as he prepared to walk out and return to the bottom of the cabin.
However, just as Ann came out of the back door and took a few steps.
“Wait a minute! That one over there! What are you doing sneaking around!” A shout came from the corner, forcing Ann to stop.
A supervising warrior who seemed to have been waiting here quickly walked up to Ann.
“Cleaning the kitchen?” The warrior wanted to get close to Bu An, but he stopped halfway because he despised the tattered clothes.
Ann sensed that something was not right. Her face under the hood frowned slightly, but she still answered the other party first and nodded silently.
During the three days on the Astorokis, Ann had suffered a lot from these supervising warriors. This wasn’t because they were targeting Ann, but because they treated all the laborers like this.
He was originally a wanted criminal of the Flame Domain and needed this ship to smuggle him to the Thousand Islands. Thus, An had always endured as much as he could.
Unfortunately, sometimes, some things couldn’t be passed simply by enduring.
Just like now.
“You should know the rules of the kitchen, right? You’re not allowed to bring things back without permission, let alone a handyman like you. Your other hand has been covering something in your arms. Take it out and let me see.
On the surface, Wu Si was questioning him suspiciously, but in reality, he already knew the answer in his heart. After all, he and Ichiro had colluded to scam this person from the Flame Domain twice.
He had even thought of the following script while he was waiting.
This coolie from the Flame Field would definitely be panicking and repeatedly deny it. He would hurriedly explain to him that this was a privilege given by Ichiro, while he would pretend not to know and not acknowledge this account at all. He would turn around and say that the other party had framed and slandered him, just to find an excuse to steal.
Finally, he would wait until this person from the Flame Domain was scared silly by his scolding. This was the best method for laborers. The Martial Secretary had already tried it a hundred times, and he could then blackmail and extort as much as he wanted. According to Ichiro, although he did not know what this laborer did in the Flame Domain, he probably had a lot of money on him. It was enough for them to earn a sum of extra money.
Ann was silent for a while.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Don’t frame Ichiro. He won’t allow you to…What was that? You, you admit it?”
Halfway through the script that he had envisioned, Wu Si realized that something was wrong. He had a shocked expression on his face and even stuttered a little.
What did he mean?
Wu Si looked at the person in front of him, the coolie who was covered in bandages. He didn’t know when it started, but he no longer lowered his gaze. Instead, he raised his head.
The only pair of eyes that the other party had exposed were currently looking straight at him with a calm gaze. There was no sign of the gloominess and timidity that belonged to a laborer.
It was to the extent that Wu Si instantly had the illusion that when he met the other party’s gaze, it was as if it was not a human’s eyes, but a bottomless black vortex that wanted to swallow him whole.
“You… How dare you!
Wu Si quivered and quickly averted his gaze from Ann’s eyes. He quickly adjusted his gaze and his expression became even more ferocious. He made a body gesture as if he was about to draw his sword, as if he wanted to raise his aura as a warrior in front of Ann..
