The "Angel" is about to set off soon. Everyone thinks that this is just a new adventure for the "Angel", but no one can imagine that this ship destined for Luzon actually carries another special secret.
use.
The "Angel" carried this personal letter from King Philip IV of Spain to Hurtado de Cocuera, the Spanish Governor in Luzon.
God, no one on the entire "Angel" except Captain Iguodala Andres knew that the captain was actually carrying such an important letter...
At this time, Andres's ears suddenly heard the noise of the sailors. The captain only listened for a while, and then a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
There must be another uninvited guest who quietly boarded the ship when no one was paying attention... There are always some people who like to board the "Angel" without their permission, and then go where they want.
The longing Luzon dreams of getting rich...
...
Juliana listened to the sound of no one around, but distant bursts of noisy music accompanied by the laughter of men and women. It seemed that some grand dance was being held there. Julianna was not curious and wanted to go over and take a look.
, she just wants to find something to eat to fill her stomach, even a piece of hard bread, she is already dizzy with hunger
Julianna quietly slipped along the side of the ship to the aft cabin gangway. In fact, she could have walked over in stride. No one would come to the stern of the ship to check or anything at this time, but on the one hand, she was too hungry.
She really didn't have the strength to act the way she usually did. On the other hand, she was still frightened after being chased just now.
The journey was smooth, and we quickly found the kitchen. It seemed that the ship was not weak, and it was not strictly vigilant at all when sailing in such a sea area. The captain was either too sure or too careless. But this situation was very difficult for Juliana.
It turned out to be very advantageous. She tiptoed to the kitchen door and listened carefully: there was no one inside. She quickly pushed them sideways and walked in. A strong aroma of food hit her nostrils. It was obvious that a banquet was being held on the ship. Because
In the corner of the kitchen, a large iron bucket containing garbage was filled with cabbage leaves, lettuce skins, tomato slices, various fish heads, fish tails, and beef bones...
Under the dim light, the wooden cabinet standing against the wall vaguely showed the richness of the food inside. Juliana opened the food cabinet and her mouth watered immediately. There were all kinds of food neatly lined up inside: the aroma of roasting
Crispy and rich smoked bacon, golden fried eggs, large and beautiful sticky chocolate cake, thick and oily sausages, small and cute pine-flavored and crispy sweet buns, and crispy and sweet large pancakes.
.....
Seizing the time, Julianna took two grilled sausages, a few sweet buns, steak and kidney pie, fried jam rolls, some chocolate sponge cake, syrup cake, and finally started eating from the fat roast turkey.
He tore off one of its fat thighs with maroon oil, holding a pumpkin pie in his mouth and a lot of food in his hand, and quietly slipped to the passage behind the kitchen that connected with the storage room.
A small room filled with discarded items. She found this perfect hiding place when she was getting things and started eating deliciously.
"This life is really not easy. I didn't expect that old guy to eat so much at once, like——"
"A pig."
"Ha! A pig that pretends to be elegant."
Oops. Someone came in. Juliana hugged the pile of food tightly and gently moved it inside. Fortunately, this small room is relatively dark, and even if you come in, it is not easy to find someone hiding here, not to mention that there is usually no one.
Come in.
Two waiters came in from outside. They had just delivered the food to the guests in the front cabin and were about to come back for a big meal. When they opened the cupboard door, they found that the neatly arranged food was now messy, and there was obviously less of each item.
A lot. The two of them exchanged confused looks: This was definitely not done by rats, because rats would never be able to eat so much food. And even rats would not make the food so messy. In this case, there is only one other person left.
There is a possibility - someone came in!
The two of them looked around cautiously, and there was no one anywhere they could see in the kitchen.
"Come out, man! I see you. Stop hiding there and come out. If you don't come out, I won't be polite!"
Juliana ate her food nervously, while holding her breath and listening carefully to see if they were coming here. She didn't care at all about the shouts. She had practiced not being alarmed by threats that were more terrifying than this when she was at her aunt's house.
Now. From the bottom of her heart, she looked down on these two cowardly, bluffing people. She felt sorry for them for such obvious lies. If it weren't for the fact that the current situation was a bit embarrassing, she could teach them a few words of advice.
A more powerful threat learned from Aunt Maggie.
The two waiters searched for a long time and found no one, so they determined that the thief was no longer in the kitchen.
"Damn it, let him run away!"
"Be careful, don't let me catch you!"
The two cursed for a while and then sat down to eat. If Julianna hadn't made a mistake at this time, it would have been better for the three of them to eat in the kitchen. The bad thing is that the food
Taiji experienced a small fright again, suddenly choked and burped loudly at the same time. It was obvious that the two people outside had heard it. The two followed the constant sound of "burps" to the small
In the warehouse, Juliana regretted it and tried her best to stop the hiccups. Although the two heard the sound coming from here, it was too messy and dark inside, and it was not easy to find the person. Julianna
I was secretly rejoicing, but when I lowered my head, I saw that the rejoicing had disappeared:
At some point, a huge mouse squatted at her feet and gnawed at the bread she had just dropped on the ground. It made a "squeak" sound that was louder than hers. She quickly stopped it from making such a noise, but because
In Shi Yiwan, four leather boots stopped in front of her at the same time. Juliana raised her head and a ray of light shone on her face.
"Miss, can you tell us what you are doing here?" the two asked in a gloating and threatening tone.
"I, oh. I went out to look at the moon and couldn't find my way back. I think I'm probably lost."
Juliana stammered and tried desperately to find a reasonable explanation. But as soon as the words came out, she felt that if the other party were her, she would not believe this nonsense. But it was obvious that even if the other party was not her, they would not believe these words.
A lie that can be exposed.
"Oh, really? You came out from the front cabin to the back cabin to look at the moon and got lost in the kitchen. I think you probably wanted to say that you were too hungry, so you took so much food and hid in the utility room to steal it.
Let’s eat.”
"Yes. That's right."
Except for the previous sentence, the following is correct.
"Okay then. Miss, where is your room? We are honored to take you back."
The two of them acted like they were watching a show and listened to her nonsense. It was the first time today that they saw such an interesting thing: watching a thief face to face - the female thief was lying.
"Oh, no need, I can go back by myself without bothering you two."
After saying that, she hurriedly walked out. One of them stopped at the door, stared at her and said slowly,
"I remember you said just now that you were lost, didn't you?"
"Oh, I, I remember now."
"That's great, please tell us your room number."
"Well...Room 105, Cabin 2."
Julianna had no choice but to talk nonsense. The two of them suddenly snickered. While laughing, they asked weirdly:
"Are you sure that's the room?"
"Of course."
"We also think you should go there now. Come on, we will send you there."
As he spoke, he pushed her out. The little luck that had survived in Juliana's heart disappeared the moment she entered Room 105, Cabin 2. She just wished she hadn't said anything just now. This room was full of hangings
Various nautical charts, schedules, a huge globe and a telescope in the middle are placed in a conspicuous position. Even if you have never been on a ship, you will naturally realize when you see this arrangement - this is the captain's cabin!
"What's going on? Who are you, miss?"
A tall, burly man with a white beard and neatly dressed in a dark gray uniform was immersed in a desk with a pile of thick items writing something. When he heard footsteps, he looked up and saw a waiter with a man in a tattered dress.
, the girl, who looked embarrassed but still beautiful, stood at the door of the cabin, feeling very strange.
"Mr. Captain, this lady is hiding in the kitchen and stealing our food. She says she is lost. We suspect she does not have a ticket."
The waiter answered respectfully. It was the captain! Now he was dead. But Juliana still did not give up her struggle before her death:
"Mr. Captain, things are not as they imagined. I am..."
"Miss, please show me your ticket."
The captain interrupted her before she could finish her words, with an irresistible majesty in his tone.
"I, I'm sorry, I don't know where to buy your ticket."
Julianna's face turned red. She had never been more depressed than she was now.
"Then, miss, you should make up for a ferry ticket now."
Although Captain Andres said this, he did not take out the ticket. He could see from Juliana's dress that she did not have much money. If ordinary people had ordered her to be locked up, there was no need to waste it.
Time talks nonsense with her, but as a gentleman, it is the most basic etiquette to treat a beautiful lady politely.
"Maybe, you can be a waitress on my ship, and the wages will be counted as the ship fare, how about that?"
What else could happen? If she said no, they wouldn't agree.
"Okay, Mr. Captain, I'll do as you wish."
"Very good. But I have to wake you up first. The guests on the 'Angel' are all very distinguished. You must not neglect them. Especially those arrogant ladies. Otherwise, I will use it in the name of the captain."
I will punish you the same way I treated the crew, remember?"
It turns out that this ship is called the 'Angel', a very familiar name that I seem to have heard somewhere.
"Yes, Mr. Captain." Juliana showed rare respect at this moment.
"Kerry, take her up and give her some clothes. You, by the way, what's your name?"
"Julianna, Juliana, Mr. Alcott."
"That's a weird name. Miss Alcott, you can go now and remember your job. Please don't be lazy, Miss. I'll know."
The two waiters did not expect that the captain would be so tolerant today, and they couldn't help showing dissatisfaction on their faces.
The night outside was as cool as water, and the cold wind blew by, and Julianna's red and hot face felt a little more comfortable.
"You should thank us for taking you there just when Captain Andrew was in a good mood. Otherwise you would have been locked up for months."
Kerry muttered and glanced at her sideways from the corners of his eyes, and at the same time complained that Juliana had brought him extra trouble, because he had to send her to the maid's room in the dark, and there were still a lot of things in the kitchen.
Life is waiting for him.
"If you didn't have to find me, you wouldn't have caused this trouble to yourself, and in that case I would be even more grateful to you."
The two walked to the upper cabin by the light, and suddenly heard an excited voice shouting to them:
"Judy! Why are you here?"
"Hans? Why is it you?"
"I am a sailor on this ship. Didn't I just tell you this morning?"
Hans's voice was trembling with joy. His face was red and hot. Fortunately, it was covered by the night, otherwise others would be embarrassed for him if they saw it.
By the way, "Angel Number", no wonder it sounds familiar, it turns out I heard it from Hans.
"Hey, do you know each other?" Kerry glanced disdainfully at Hans, who was happily there.
"Yes, we are good friends. Judy, what is this?"
Anyone would be surprised when they first see Julianna, who is disheveled and in a mess. However, Hans was so excited that he didn't realize that she looked a bit strange until now.
"I am......"
"She sneaked onto the ship and hid in the kitchen to steal food, but we caught her. The captain made her a waitress to pay for the ship."
Without waiting for her answer, Kerry rushed to tell her all about her deeds.
"Oh, Judy, that's great. This way I can see you every day for the past two months, thank God."
Julianna didn't know whether she should cry or laugh at Hans's strange way of thinking.
"Hey, since you two know each other, take her to the maid's room. It's a waste of my time." Kerry ordered Hans rudely.
"Okay, I'll take her there, I'll take her there."
This drudgery that Crane was eager to get rid of was a rare blessing for Hans. He introduced her to everything on the ship in detail along the way, as if Julianna was a very distinguished guest and he was lucky enough to lead her on his journey.
Visiting the place where you work is really a matter of great pride.
The next day, Juliana put on the blue dress issued to her and started her job as a chambermaid on the Angel. Although her job was easy but difficult, she mainly served the first-class Lady Louise.
