    "Angel" number.  ¡¾Absolute power¡¿

    Captain Iguodala Andres was a little restless.

    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 Angel except Captain Iguodala Andres knew that the captain was actually carrying such an important letter

    At this time, Andres 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 heard no one's voice around her, just distant bursts of noisy music accompanied by the laughter of men and women. It seemed like some grand dance was being held there.  Julianna had no curiosity to go over and take a look. She just wanted to find something to eat to fill her stomach, even a piece of hard bread. She was already dizzy with hunger.

    Julianna walked gently along the side of the ship to the aft cabin gangway. In fact, she could have walked over in stride.  At this time, no one would come to the stern to check or anything, but on the one hand, she was too hungry and had no strength to act as 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 seems that this ship is not weak. It is not at all vigilant when sailing in such a sea area. The captain is either too confident or too careless.  However, this situation was very beneficial to Juliana. She tiptoed to the kitchen door and listened carefully: there was no one inside.  She quickly pushed them sideways and stepped in. A strong smell 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

    With the dim light, the wooden cabinets standing against the wall vaguely showed the richness of the food inside.  Juliana opened the pantry and her mouth watered immediately. There were all kinds of food neatly lined up inside: roasted, crispy and rich bacon, golden fried eggs, large and beautiful sticky chocolates.  Cakes, thick and oily sausages, small and cute pine-flavored and crispy sweet buns, and large crispy and sweet pancakes

    Seizing the opportunity, Juliana grabbed two grilled sausages, a few sweet buns, and a steak and kidney pie.  Fried jam rolls, and took some chocolate sponge cake, syrup cake, and finally tore off one of the fat roasted turkey's fat thighs with maroon oil in his mouth.  Pumpkin pie, holding a lot of food in her hands, quietly slipped to a small room containing discarded items next to the passageway behind the kitchen that connected with the storage room. She discovered this perfect shelter when she was getting things.  Eat deliciously.

    "This life is really not easy. I didn't expect that old guy to eat so much at once, like¡ª¡ª"

    "A pig."

    "Ha! A pig that pretends to be elegant."

    Oops.  Someone came in.  Juliana held the pile of food tightly and gently moved it inside.  Fortunately, this small room is relatively dark. Even if you come in, it's not easy to find someone hiding here, not to mention that no one usually comes in.

    Two waiters came in outside. They had just delivered food to the guests in the front cabin and were about to come back and have a good meal.  When I opened the cabinet door, I found that the neatly arranged food was now messy, and there was obviously a lot less of each item.  The two exchanged confused glances: This was definitely not done by rats, because rats would never be able to eat so much.  And even rats don't make the food so messy.  In this case, there is only one other possibility left - someone comes 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 pay any attention to those shouts. She had already practiced being at her aunt's house to be calm about threats that were more terrifying than this.  Now, from the bottom of her heart, she looked down on these two cowardly, bluffing people.  She would feel sorry for them for such an obvious lie, if it weren't for the currentThe situation was a bit awkward, but she could teach them a few more powerful threats she had 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 separately in the kitchen.  The bad thing is that because I ate too quickly and experienced a small fright, I suddenly choked and burped loudly at the same time.  Apparently the two people outside had heard it.  The two followed the constant sound of "hiccups" to the small warehouse.  Juliana now regretted it and tried desperately to stop the hiccups.  Although the two heard the sound coming from here, it was too messy and dark inside, so it was not easy to find the person.  Juliana was secretly rejoicing, but when she lowered her head, she 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 sound, but because  In Shi Yiwan, four leather boots stopped in front of her at the same time.  Julianna 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 of her mouth, 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 lies that could be exposed at a glance.

    "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 want 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 true."

    Except for the previous sentence, the following sentence is correct.

    "Okay then. Miss, where is your room? We are honored to take you back."

    The two of them stood there like they were watching a show and listened to her nonsense.  This is the first time I have seen such an interesting thing today: watching a thief face to face - the female thief lies.

    "Oh, no need, I can go back by myself without bothering you two."

    As she said 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.¡±

    "WellRoom 105, cabin two."

    Juliana had no choice but to talk nonsense.  The two suddenly snickered.  While laughing, he asked weirdly:

    "Are you sure which room it is?"

    "Of course."

    "We also think you should go there now. Come on, we will send you there."

    ¡°As he said this, 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 that nothing had been said.  This room is filled with various nautical charts and schedules, with a huge globe and telescope in a prominent position in the middle. 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 pile of thick pieces on his desk, writing something.  Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw a waiter standing at the door of the cabin with a girl in tattered clothes and a disheveled look, 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 replied respectfully.  It's the captain!  Now he is dead.  However, Juliana still did not give up her struggle before death:

    "Mr. Captain, things are not as they imagined. I am"

    "Miss, please show me your ticket."

    The captain interrupted her without waiting for her to finish speaking, with an irresistible majesty in his tone.

    ¡°I, I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t know where to buy your ticket.¡±

    Juliana's face turned red, she had never been more depressed than she was now.

    "Then, miss, you should pay for a ticket now."

    Although Captain Andres said this, he did not?Bring out the ticket.  He could tell from the way Juliana was dressed that she didn't have much money.  If ordinary people had already ordered her to be locked up, there would be no need to waste time talking 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 can be done, if she says no, they won¡¯t agree.

    "Okay, Mr. Captain. Just 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 the name of the captain."  I¡¯ll punish you the same way you 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, Julianna, Alcott. Sir.¡±

    "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 cold as water, and the cold wind blew by, and Juliana'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 several 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 trembled with joy.  His face was red and hot, but 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, 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 are you?"

    Everyone would feel strange when they first saw Juliana in a disheveled state, but Hans was so excited that he didn't realize until now that she looked a little strange.

    "I am"

    "She sneaked onto the ship and hid in the kitchen to steal food, but we caught her. The captain fined her to be a waitress to pay for the ship's fare."

    Kerry rushed to tell her all the stories of her deeds without waiting for her to answer.

    "Oh, Judy, that's great. This way I can see you every day for the next two months, thank God."

    Juliana didn¡¯t know whether she should cry or laugh at Hans¡¯ 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 seemed to Hans to be a rare blessing.  Along the way, he introduced her to everything on the ship in detail, as if Julianna was a very distinguished guest, and he was extremely proud to be able to lead her to visit where he worked.

    The next day, Julianna put on the blue dress issued to her and began her job as a chambermaid on the Angel.  Although her job is easy but difficult, it mainly involves serving the daily life of first-class Lady Louise for the past two months.
