Chapter 10 Hongtuan’s Daily Life-02

Cheng Xi was in a dilemma, it was not right to eat, and it was not right not to eat.

Although she really liked eating sea quail, ten were too many for her to finish. Then, looking at the lonely one on everyone's plate, she felt even more embarrassed to eat alone.

She wanted to share the meat on her plate with everyone, but if it was at the Navy Headquarters it would be fine, as they were all friends for many years and no one would look down on anyone, and sometimes they would just grab the food when they were anxious. But these were Shanks' crew members after all, and she had only known them for less than a day, so doing this might make them think it was impolite.

Turning his attention to Shanks, the only person he was familiar with here, Cheng Xi immediately thought of a solution.

She put the sea quails that were piled up like a mountain on her plate one by one onto Shanks' plate, leaving only one for herself, and then began to eat contentedly.

Shanks was a little surprised when he realized that Cheng Xi picked up some meat for him, and then asked Cheng Xi with a smile why he picked it up again for him.

Cheng Xi was too lazy to find a reason to answer him, so she just pretended to be mysterious and put her finger to her mouth, making a hushing gesture, and then answered: "Secret."

Miraculously, Shanks really stopped asking her and started to eat obediently. The muscles near the corners of his mouth were shaking with happiness.

Cheng Xi was concentrating on eating, and Shanks was concentrating on eating and watching Cheng Xi. After about five minutes, he finally remembered his good crew members and good friends. He glanced around the table and found that for some reason, no one had touched the food on their plates.

Shanks: "Why aren't you eating?"

Everyone said in unison: "We're not hungry."

It was so funny. Eating melons is much more interesting than eating rice.

In the afternoon, Cheng Xi woke up from a nap and took a stroll on the boat. Everyone was doing their own thing. Jesus Bu and Lime Jones were fishing on the deck, Laki Lu was studying dishes in the kitchen, and Hongo was cleaning the medical room...

Cheng Xi was a little bored and wanted to find Beckman to borrow a book to read, but he was pounced on by Meng Shida halfway through his walk.

So Cheng Xi gave up his study plan and went out to play with Meng Shida.

Cheng Xi likes small animals very much, and is also liked by small animals. For example, now, who would have thought that a beautiful young girl would actually teach Mengshida Monkey Fist on the deck! ?

The key is that her monkey fist is not only imitated well, but also seems to be really something. She uses force skillfully and is agile and quick. She picks fruits and dodges, climbs vines and falls from branches. If she uses it in actual combat, it will often make it impossible to defend against it.

Maybe she is a fur-bearing person who looks more similar to humans. This was the thought that naturally popped into Mengshida's mind after he learned monkey boxing.

Fortunately, no one saw this, otherwise her true identity would be exposed. Mengshida was considerate and took Chengxi into consideration.

Afterwards Cheng Xi and Meng Shida went to the living room.

There is a large and spacious living room on the Redforth, which is fully equipped with basically everything. It is usually used as a place for the Red Hair Pirates to drink, chat and entertain.

She sat in the chair, looking at Meng Shida, and suddenly felt that she should tell Meng Shida a novel now.

After all, no monkey can resist "Journey to the West" and Sun Wukong.

When she was a child, she read the original novel and watched the TV series several times, so she could remember most of the plots. In addition, she wrote a few books in the past few years as a side job to make money, so her ability to express herself is pretty good.

Cheng Xi organized the words in his head.

Then the melodious and beautiful voice gradually sounded in the living room.

"This is a story from another world. A long, long time ago, the world was divided into four continents, namely... This story takes place in the Dongsheng Shenzhou, where there is a country called Aolai, which is close to the sea. There is a mountain called Huaguo Mountain. One day..."

As a monkey, Mengshida is active and impatient by nature. Normally, he would not listen to stories quietly. Even if he stood on Binzhi's shoulder, he would jump up and down and move around.

When Cheng Xi just started telling it this story, it hadn't calmed down and was running around distracted. But when it heard the part about the Monkey King causing havoc in Heaven, it immediately sat down on the chair next to Cheng Xi and calmed down. Its expression became proud and proud, as if it was it that caused havoc in Heaven.

In fact, it does put itself into it.

When he heard that Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain, he couldn't help feeling sad.

I skipped the story of Li Shimin and Tang Sanzang and only felt a little better after hearing that Sun Wukong finally came out from under the Five Finger Mountain.

In this way, its mood kept rising and falling with Cheng Xi's words.

"... Helplessly, Sun Wukong had to bid farewell to Tang Sanzang, and returned to Huaguo Mountain on his Qi Somersault Cloud, feeling full of grievances and bitterness."

After saying this, Cheng Xi looked at his watch. It was getting late, and it was almost six o'clock. It should be time for dinner. So he stood up and touched Mengshida's head and said, "To know what happens next, let's talk about it after dinner."

Although Mengshida was eager to know what happened next, he was hungry now, so he had to stand obediently on Chengxi's shoulders to eat.

"So, was this annoying Tang Sanzang eaten by monsters in the end?!"

Cheng Xi just turned around and saw Jesus Bu, Punch, Lime Jones and Shanks sitting neatly behind him. Looking at the dissatisfied expressions on their faces, it was obvious that they were also very angry with Tang Sanzang.

"When did you come in?" Jesus' sudden question startled Cheng Xi, who said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you silent like a ghost? You scared me."

"That's enough, Minasai." The four people apologized in unison.

Originally, these four people entered the living room with different purposes. Punch came to find Mengshida, Jesus Bu and Lime Jones wanted to come in for a beer, and as for Shanks, he came to find Cheng Xi. But after entering, they were involuntarily attracted by her story, so they just sat on the ground silently listening to her.

Punch: "Can't the White Bone Demon eat Tang Sanzang before dying?"

Cheng Xi: You're asking for too much...

Shanks' focus is more unique, he asked the question I wanted to ask just now: "Who is more powerful, you or Sun Wukong?"

Cheng Xi: You think highly of me, how can you be compared with my idol.

"Let's split it 30-70."

Shanks had a stronger impression of Cheng Xi's fighting power. He didn't expect that she had grown so fast in just two years after they parted in Rogue Town. If that accident hadn't happened that year, she would definitely be one of the admirals of the navy now, a strong person in this famous town on the sea.

But fortunately, she and I still have a long future.

"If he gets hit by a stick, I'll be on the seventh day of my twelfth month." Cheng Xi thought that was a bit inaccurate, so she changed her words, "Or if he gets hit by a stick, I'll die directly."

Jesus Bu and Bing Zhi were still asking her questions. Adhering to the principle of not spoiling the plot, she simply covered her ears and ignored their chatter, and went to the kitchen to find Laki Lu to see if she could help with dinner.

Although Lakilu is not good at dealing with women and often blushes, he is not as stuttering as before when talking to Cheng Xi in the kitchen, because the two of them did not talk about anything related to men and women. Instead, they talked about a lot of practical knowledge about cooking.

He regretted not staying a few more days on Fit Island, because according to Cheng Xi, her hometown had eight major cuisines and various delicacies, including boiled cabbage, a delicate dish that looks as clear as boiled water but actually tastes delicious, and home-cooked dishes such as thin noodles that are said to be able to reproduce on their own.

Even his favorite chicken legs have hundreds of recipes such as bang bang chicken, white-cut chicken, five-spice roast chicken, spicy and sour chicken, etc.

He looked at Cheng Xi with some resentment, "Do all you sailors eat so well?"

During dinner, navigator Snake was a little dissatisfied with Cheng Xi's suspicion of him in the morning, and he tried his best to show Cheng Xi his professional ability in the sea as a navigator and part-time helmsman.

He told Cheng Xi about all the adventures that the Redfors had experienced over the years, the strange islands, the whirlpools, and almost every wonderful experience he could remember to prove his ability to her.

Cheng Xi: If you are trying to show off your geographical knowledge to me, I think I can recommend you a book called "Classic of Mountains and Seas"...

Everyone was listening with great interest, and even Snake was about to return to the South China Sea to continue his adventure, but was interrupted by Cheng Xi. She told everyone that her hometown was not actually on Fit Island, but in another place that no one knew about. Only then did everyone give up and lose the idea of ​​adventure.

Jesus Bu: "What a pity! Although I really want to go to Qingqiu where there is a nine-tailed fox, and Zhangwei Mountain where there is a real dragon, but as a pirate, I still want to go treasure hunting and adventure in Zhaoyao Mountain which is full of gold and gems."

Cheng Xiko: "Although Zhulong is called a dragon, it is not a real dragon."

Although the members of the Red Hair Pirates have not yet appreciated Cheng Xi's said strong martial arts, they finally understood what Shanks said, "Cheng Xi is omnipotent and can do everything."

Well, well, your navy is so competitive in training talents now, right?

After dinner, Jesus Bu and the others originally wanted to follow Cheng Xi and let her continue telling the story of Journey to the West. After all, the story ended at the White Bone Demon, and it was really uncomfortable to tell the story in a disjointed manner. They were extremely anxious to know whether Tang Sanzang was eaten by the monster later on.

However, when they saw the cold gaze of their captain, they all retreated.

Cheng Xi went to the stern of the Redforth, where there were several coconut trees planted. Cheng Xi climbed up a tree and picked one. Seeing Shanks below, he picked one for him as well.

So the two of them sat on the railing at the stern, facing the sea breeze, looking at the moon and drinking coconut water.

Even under the moonlight, the sea at night is a chaos in the distance, blending into the dark sky, as if there is some unknown monster hiding there, which makes people involuntarily feel an unknown horror.

Cheng Xi and Shanks were sitting very close to each other. Shanks seemed to say something, but Cheng Xi didn't hear clearly. "What?" She leaned her head slightly over. At this time, a sea breeze blew, blowing their hair up. The red hair and black hair were entangled together, and it was difficult to separate them.

Cheng Xi was wearing the windbreaker she bought on Fette Island last night. When she returned the black cloak to Shanks, Shanks was inexplicably disappointed.

They drank coconut as if it were wine and clinked their glasses.

Shanks: "Cheng Xi."

Cheng Xi: "I'm here, what's wrong?"

Shanks: "Nothing, I just hope you can always be here."

Always by my side.

Cheng Xi's bright and beautiful eyes were filled with smiles, and she said, "Of course I will always be here. I will never die easily this time. Let me set a small goal for myself and live to be a hundred years old."

"What about you?" she asked Shanks.

"Ninety-nine," he replied.

...

Cheng Xi thought he would suffer from insomnia and stay up late on someone else's boat, but he fell asleep very quickly and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

In her dream, all she saw was misty auspicious haze and colorful clouds. There was only a path under her feet. She walked hesitantly along the path. When she reached the end, she saw a magnificent, dazzling, and golden building in front of her.

When Cheng Xi saw the three words on the building clearly, he was greatly surprised.

"This is...!" She covered her mouth, unable to believe it.
