Liang Jian: I have a canteen

Sisford's lips curved into a beautiful smile.

The smile was seven parts ingratiating and three parts flattering, but in short, it didn't seem to have any hostility at all.

However, Hans saw a hint of disgust and impatience in that smile.

"Shall we go or not?" Hans took a sip of his drink and turned to ask the burly Adolf.

Adolf frowned a few times, wanting to stay away, but his strong curiosity compelled him to go in and take a look.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a hoarse voice shout in English, "Brother Hans, since they've invited us, let's go in and listen. Maybe they have some money-making ideas?"

The one speaking was Xu San. He had been lying there for a while and had already learned most of what was happening in the corridor.

As they walked over, they overheard Sisford's invitation to Hans.

Although Xu San always said he was afraid of trouble, he actually loved watching the drama unfold, and he had a feeling that this latest scandal might be related to him.

When Hans heard Xu San's voice, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

He was looking for Xu San, but he didn't want to find Xu San right now.

Because this occasion is too inappropriate; the two of them haven't even coordinated their statements yet.

What if Sisford asks about it later and Xu San accidentally blurts it out?
At this moment, Xu San was still some distance from Hans. After glancing at him, Sisford gave a wink to the sailors around him, signaling them to stop him.

However, how could a few ordinary sailors stop Xu San? They were about to make a move when Huan Ji, who was beside Xu San, skillfully thwarted their attacks.

In just a few breaths, Xu San sidled up to Hans's side.

The moment they met, Xu San grinned, snatched Hans's bottle, and took a big gulp. "I drank too much yesterday, and just sobered up. I was thinking of coming to find you for another round. Let me tell you, I still have some good wine."

As he spoke, Xu San let out a burp. A strong smell of alcohol then wafted towards Sisford.

Sisford was somewhat annoyed, but seeing that Xu San was also a drunkard, his wariness towards him lessened considerably.

It turns out that many of the sailors at sea are alcoholics, making up the vast majority.

Because food and fresh water preservation technology was very poor in the past, drinking alcohol was a necessary compromise for people who sailed at sea for long periods of time.

Sisford must have seen at least a hundred or so drunkards, and among them, not a single one was shrewd.

Yes, drinking alcohol does indeed harm the brain, especially for heavy drinkers.

Therefore, while wine is good, it should be consumed in moderation.

"And who is this?" Xu San asked, looking at Sisford.

"This is Captain Sisford, a brave and kind sailor! He even went to your room last night to check if you were lost and hadn't come back."

Xu San scratched his head, looking puzzled. "I don't remember at all. All I remember is that you found my treasured wine in our room and then I woke up!"

"Phew~" Sisford exhaled and thought to himself, this guy must have blacked out. Sure enough, all alcoholics are the same.

"Right, where were we?" Xu San started playing dumb again.

"You said you wanted to come with me to talk to this Mr. Sisford."

“Yes! Let’s talk!” Xu San said, then began to sized up Hans. “Brother Hans, judging from your face, you’re no ordinary person. You’re going to make a fortune today.” (End of Chapter)
