The wooden things were not very soundproof. If it was quiet, you could hear what the people below were saying. It wasn't like she couldn't understand English. Sometimes she would feel very depressed when she heard the foul language spoken by these sailors.
The tables and benches in the room are all very heavy to prevent them from tipping over with a slight bump.
Manmei took a look and found that the bed had actually been replaced with clean sheets made of satin fabric. It seemed that Reinhard had donated the things he used.
Although it is a little uncomfortable to use something that men have used, thinking about those bed sheets and quilt covers that can kill people, Manmei decisively feels that this is better.
I slept all night and never slept well.
The ship is no different than on land. The people on the ground have arranged the night watch to be quiet. They patrol when they should patrol and stand guard when they should. Unless there are assassins, you really won't hear any sound.
It's completely different at sea. It doesn't matter if the sea breeze blows. No one can control the sound of the wind. Just get used to it.
The main sail of the ship needs to be constantly adjusted to ensure the sailing direction. Otherwise, when you wake up, you will be looking for your mother in the Pacific Ocean.
Needless to say, the sound of the big sail on the wooden boat, just the sound of the people on the deck shouting and chanting, makes Mei Mei want to jump out and give someone a slap in the face. It's so late at night, don't let people sleep?
The bumpy sea voyage is really a secondary issue. Sea ships are not as rocky as river ships, but the constant noises at night are really life-threatening.
The next morning, when Manmei got up, she wanted to fall down and go back to sleep. She felt that she might as well stay up all night if she was constantly being woken up while half asleep and half awake.
When she heard the knock on the door, she even thought it was her imagination.
When she struggled to get dressed and got up to open the door, she saw Reinhard standing at the door very gentlemanly and knocking on the door. He also brought a young black slave with him, kneeling on the ground, holding a basin of water in his hand.
Manmei is not a racist. Many people have served her in the Li and Yue countries, but this is the first time she has met such a black slave.
The black slave was very young, about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was very thin, with not much flesh on his body, and was not tall. His hair was very short and naturally curly, and his skin was dark and shiny.
Thanks to the fact that it was summer, he only wore an apron-like underpants around his waist, barely covering his whole buttocks. His only clothes looked like pickles in a pickle vat, which he couldn't bear to look at.
Manmei often went to Africa to discuss business, and when she saw this black slave, she actually felt a little friendly.
Reinhard pointed at the black slave, "This is the slave I brought. He was born in my manor and has a very docile personality. Let him serve you during this journey."
Manmei declined firmly, and Reinhard also insisted, "I can't just watch a distinguished lady working on my boat. This is not in line with the principles of a gentleman. If you don't like him, I can arrange it."
Other black slaves are coming.]
Hearing what Reinhard said, the young black slave had a look of fear on his face, his whole body began to shake slightly, and dense circles of water began to appear in the water he was holding in the basin.
Ripple, he raised his head and looked at Manmei imploringly, as if begging her to leave him.
wipe!
What does this mean? Threatening me with my own life?
I could only laugh and say, [In this case, let him stay. This is the first time I have seen such a dark person. I heard the teacher said it, but it was the first time I saw it, so I was a little scared.]
[It’s just a slave, don’t worry too much. If he makes you angry, just scold him.] Reinhard didn’t pay much attention to this little black slave, and seemed to have just found one at random.
Thinking about these delicate and expensive bodies, they probably wouldn't be willing to do it themselves. Black slaves must bring them with them.
Looking at Manmei's obviously haggard look, Reinhard asked with concern, "Are you not used to sleeping on the boat?"
Manmei nodded and moved away. The little black slave obediently picked up the basin and placed it on the table. She looked at Reinhard and said, "Although I live by the sea, I have never been on a boat."
I stayed overnight and didn’t feel comfortable with it. I believe it will be fine in a few days.】
Perhaps sensing that Meiwei was in poor condition, Reinhard was careful not to disturb her, but asked the little black slave Jack to bring her food.
Without the skillful maid, Mei Miao could simply pull up her hair with a hairpin every day.
On a ship full of sailors, she rarely appeared and stayed in her room very politely. Reinhard asked her to go out for a walk, so she went out for a while. If he didn't call her the rest of the time, she would be too bored at best and would stand there.
Look at the scenery on the boat ramp at the door of the room.
As expected, it was what she said before. She would be fine in a few days. She was so sleepy that no matter what the situation was, unless there was a bomb exploding nearby, she would definitely fall asleep. Manmei was used to it now, so it was time for her to fall asleep at night.
I went to bed when I went to bed, got up when it was time to get up in the morning, and adjusted my schedule.
She observed carefully and found that this fleet docked at the port almost once every ten days.
On the seventh day after she boarded the ship, the fleet docked.
Reinhard invited her to get off the boat with him. She had been sitting there for so long and was about to vomit. The opportunity to get off the boat was a dream come true, so she went together happily.
The combination of a foreigner and a local girl was very eye-catching, especially since she and Reinhardt all communicated in English. When they went to eat, even the waiter looked down on her.
Reinhardt took her to a better local restaurant. He went too late and couldn't book a room, so he had to eat in the lobby.
Manmei has a very good temperament, and you can tell at a glance that she is from a wealthy family, but she is among the barbarians and can speak the barbarian language fluently.
The guests all talked about her, and you didn't have to listen carefully to know what they were talking about. Most of them said that she was shameless and that being with a barbarian was a disgrace to the family.
This feeling is a bit similar to how people in modern society despise women who serve as mistresses for foreigners. As long as they have normal views, most people feel contempt for them.
It's just that the ancients were more obvious. Even Reinhard showed an embarrassed look, [I'm sorry, Miss Man, I thought you were bored on the ship, I didn't mean to do it. 】
She smiled, suppressed the anger in her heart, and faced not Reinhard, but the onlookers, she calmly picked up a chopstick and ate it politely, [Your Excellency Reinhard,
How many times have you been to Vietnam?]
[This is my second time here. The first time I went directly to the Blue Country.] Reinhardt was still very concerned about her attitude. He looked at her secretly several times and found that she did not have an angry or aggrieved expression.
