SFS Chapter 161 Journey
Chapter 161 Journey
Mu Cai leaned back in his chair and stared out the window in trance.
The starship she was on had just set off for more than two hours. Through the window, she could see other planets in the distance from time to time, but there was no other starship or starship around her.
Because it is close to the Mermaid Planet, this planet was also affected by the battle a hundred years ago, and it has not recovered until now. The economy is not very developed, and there is only one starship leading to the federal capital Als.
By chance, Mu Cai bought a ticket and boarded the starship just in time before it departed.
It had been a while since the starship had set off, and Mu Cai remembered that it took Bai Yu three days to return to the Mermaid Planet as quickly as possible when he drove the starship.
This civilian starship is naturally not as fast as a starship. In addition to carrying passengers, the starship also transports a lot of cargo.
Mu Cai heard from the middle-aged man next to him that it was a specialty of his planet, and he was going to take it to Als to sell it, hoping to get a good price.
The man's clothes are very old, but they are washed very clean. The wrinkles on his face are full of traces of time, and his face is a little sad.
The economy of this planet is not developing very well. After all, there are few merchant ships passing by and there are also few merchant ships going out. Over time, the economy has not been able to develop.
Mu Cai sighed softly, a little worried about the newly built Mermaid Star.
Bai Yu said that Mermaid Planet cannot remain undiscovered forever. Communication with others is necessary, but it requires a suitable time.
After the starship traveled all afternoon, Mu Cai felt his empty stomach, took out a green fruit from his backpack and ate it.
She didn't bring anything with her, but Bi Guo brought some, thinking she could nibble on the fruit when she was bored on the road.
The man next to him took out a tube of nutritional supplements, drank it, and leaned back on the chair to rest.
Most of the others drank nutritional supplements, and a few ate dry food brought from home.
Mu Cai didn't know what the dry food was made of. It looked like balls mixed with potatoes and vegetable grains.
Seemingly noticing Mu Cai's gaze, the man sitting next to her turned his head and saw Mu Cai chewing some fruit. He turned back and rummaged through his bag, found a nutrient supplement and handed it to Mu Cai.
"How can you be full after eating fruit? Let's eat this." The man's hand when handing out the nutrient solution was rough and cracked. It was obvious that he was used to doing heavy work. The nutrient solution was also very cheap and original.
Mu Cai was stunned and quickly refused.
"No, no, I ate before getting on the starship, and I'm not hungry now. I'm just chewing some fruit out of boredom."
The man looked at her and carried a small bag. When he saw that the bag was still deflated, he knew that she did not bring any nutritional supplements.
"Okay, take it, I brought a lot of nutritional supplements, and there are still several days to go. I see you go out in a hurry, and your adults don't prepare food for you." The man rambled.
Mu Cai just wanted to say that there are nutritional supplements for sale on the starship, but you really don't need them.
The man then said: "This star ship sells nutritional supplements, but they are much more expensive than outside, so it is not cost-effective. You kid has never made money on your own and you don't know how to save. I brought a lot of nutritional supplements, so why waste more?" Spend the money and eat from me.”
Looking at Mu Cai's fair skin, he knew that he was well-raised at home, but he just assumed that Mu Cai didn't know the prices outside.
The general economic conditions on these planets are not very good. Even if they live a relatively prosperous life, they are not rich or wealthy, so it is better to save a little.
Some smart people who can make a lot of money have left here long ago and gone to other planets to develop.
The man sighed and put the nutritional supplement into Mu Cai's hand.
"You're welcome, just keep it. A nutrient supplement doesn't cost much."
Mu Cai could only accept it.
She put the nutritional supplement into her backpack, took out a pecan from her backpack and handed it to the man.
The man knew that the young man was thin-skinned and was not used to accepting things from others for free, so he accepted it.
He took a bite, and the sweet fruity aroma burst out from his mouth, and he praised: "It's delicious."
Mu Cai quickly took out a few more from his bag and stuffed them in.
The man only took one more. "That's enough, that's enough, you can eat it yourself."
He was very talkative, because it would take two or three days for the starship to reach Als, so the man couldn't help but chat with Mu Cai on the way.
But most of them were men talking, and Mu Cai listened.
The man's name is Zhang Sheng, and his son is studying in Als. This time he went to Als to sell a bunch of specialties on his planet, and to see his son.
"My son is doing well in his studies. He got admitted to Capital Star, but it's a bit far away. He can only go home during the holidays after the semester. I just went to see how my son is doing, otherwise I would always feel a little worried."
Mu Cai listened quietly.
Parents are like this. The depth of their love means their plans are far-reaching. No matter how old their children are, they can never let go.
On its way to Als, the starship will stop at other planets to replenish supplies and pick up new passengers. There are more and more people on the starship, and the empty seats are filled one by one.
The starship docked again, and Mu Cai leaned against the window and fell asleep. This civilian starship was very old, with only seats and no beds. Mu Cai felt like he had no feeling in his lower body.
Even though the environment in the starship was not very good, the starship operated for many years.
After all, it is the only starship along the way that goes directly to Als.
There was a noise outside and passengers were coming up.
Mu Cai was used to it, but he couldn't sleep either.
She looked toward the cabin door, and suddenly her eyes froze.
A man in black clothes walked in from the cabin door. He only carried a box in his hand and no other luggage. Mu Cai felt something was wrong.
The man wore a mask and a hat on his head, with only his eyes exposed.
Wrapped tightly.
Mu Tsai discovers something when he accidentally collides with other passengers.
There seemed to be injuries on the man's face under his mask.
The injury was quite serious, like a burn. The edges were red and somewhat ulcerated. I wonder if the condition inside was more serious. As long as the mask is lifted a little further, the burn will have nowhere to hide.
The man was indeed very vigilant. As soon as the mask was knocked a little off, he immediately raised his hand to hold it down. He walked hurriedly past the passengers and walked to his seat to sit down.
Mu Cai felt strange. If it were an ordinary burn, I wouldn't be so cautious, as if I was afraid that others would know.
But judging from the man's messy short hair, it doesn't look like he cares about his personal image.
Mu Cai suddenly felt uneasy. The noise around him became louder and louder, with some people complaining and cursing each other.
"Who stepped on me? You don't have eyes, do you?"
"Can you move your suitcase? This is my place."
"Why are you waiting so long in front? Come in quickly! I'm going to be squeezed to death."
Mu Cai covered his sore ears, looking uncomfortable.
I haven't had a good rest in the past few days, but now my eardrums are filled with these noisy sounds, and I have nowhere to escape, which makes it even more uncomfortable.
Zhang Sheng, who was standing next to her, saw her in distress and consoled her: "The starship will leave soon. This is the last time it will dock to pick up passengers. It will not stop on the way and will fly directly to the capital star."
Mu Cai forced a smile, feeling somewhat comforted.
