Chapter 87 The Forgotten Man and Cat (Seeking 1-star review)
Seeing the old man showing off in front of the mirror for a long time, Gel found it a little funny.
Just like women find it difficult to accept going out without makeup once they are used to it, the same is true for men. Gel feels that this little old man should always maintain the image of the handsome Master Roshi from now on.
"Senior Xia, what are you cooking? I seem to smell something burning."
"Ahh! My dish!"
Xia then remembered that the food was still being cooked on the kang. He wanted to run back to the kitchen in a hurry, but due to the influence of his ability, he became calm again in the next second and moved slowly.
Gel had no choice but to go into the kitchen and make a few side dishes himself, otherwise he would have to wait for Xia to cook a meal and might not be able to eat for a while.
“Hey~~Hey~~Hey~~!”
The two of them were talking and laughing, and joyful sounds could be heard from the cave from time to time.
It’s just that Xia’s laughter was drawn out and sounded a little weird.
...
The other side of the island.
"Ahhh! Where are you, record pointer?"
Kulokas and Lab were moving among the abandoned ships in a dusty state. Lab walked and stopped, with his two triangular ears erected. From time to time, he lowered his head to sniff, and searched carefully with his paws, not willing to miss any place. He seemed very serious and reliable.
Suddenly, a small beetle hiding under the wooden board jumped out and successfully attracted Lab's attention. It pounced and pressed the beetle into the soil.
"Ding-ling-clang!"
Kurokas walked in front, holding a wooden stick in his hand and bending over to search. He carried a large bag on his back. With every step he took, the bag made a crisp sound of metal knocking. It was obvious that the bag was filled with gold, silver and treasures that Captain Gill had instructed him to collect.
Even the cows in the production team didn't dare to be used like this. He was about 50 years old, but fortunately he was still strong, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to do such physical work.
"Hey, Lab, stop playing, we need to quickly find a record pointer. This is the thing. If you see one that looks like this, remember to pick it up.
As he spoke, Kurokas shook the record pointer in his hand towards Lab.
"Meow meow!"
Lab gave a cry of understanding, and then he chased another bug into the wreckage of a small boat.
Kurokas took a look at the ship and thought it was too small, so he did not follow Lab in to look for it. He continued to walk forward to look for the target, muttering to himself:
"Damn it! The captain tricked me into doing hard labor again. I've been searching for a long time and found a lot of unimportant gold and treasures, but the most important record pointer is still missing."
"Alas, I don't know what's going on with Captain Gul. There are so many gold, silver and jewels here. I hope the captain doesn't forget his business."
...
"cheers!!"
Gel and Xia clinked their glasses and drank the drinks in them.
Kulokas didn't know that the captain he was worried about not only completed the task perfectly, but was also enjoying his snacks and drinks, looking very happy.
"Come on, come on, Senior Xia, don't be polite, eat more dishes and try my cooking skills."
Geer completely took the initiative and enthusiastically put the food into Xia's bowl.
"Don't be so polite, I can do it myself, you eat it."
Xia put a piece of green pepper into her mouth and immediately squinted her eyes with enjoyment.
"Delicious! I haven't eaten fresh vegetables in a long time!"
"Haha, if it tastes good, eat more..."
...
"Rabu~!"
"Lab~! Let's go!"
After searching another ship, Kurokas came out of the cabin. Noticing that Lab had not returned yet, he turned around and shouted in the direction they came from.
After calling out several times, he still didn't see Lab and didn't hear any response. Even though he knew that there shouldn't be anything here that could threaten Lab's safety, Kurokas still couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Bang!"
He put down the big bag of gold, silver and jewelry on his back and ran quickly to the small boat that he had just seen Lab get into.
After violently kicking the wooden board, Kurokas rushed into the hold and shouted anxiously:
"Rab! Where are you?"
...
"Meow~"
After a while, he finally heard a cat's meow from below. Hearing this sound, Kurokas finally calmed down, released his clenched fists and let out a long sigh.
Then we saw Lab, covered in mud, jumping out of a pit holding a small sack in his mouth. His gray and white fur had completely turned pure black.
"Where have you been? You didn't respond even after I called you for so long! Do you know how worried I am?"
Like many parents, Kulokas couldn't help but lose his temper after worrying about his child.
"Meow~!"
Lab ran to Kurokas's feet, wagging his tail in grievance, and rubbed it, smearing all the mud on his body on his old father's trouser legs.
"Damn it! You bastard! Are you admitting your mistake or seeking revenge?"
Kurokas was so angry that he was fuming, but he was helpless. He couldn't bear to hit his opponent, so he could only shake his legs to get rid of the mud on his pants.
Kurokas thought to himself:
Since Lab has been going out to sea with me, his character has become more and more naughty. He must have learned it from Captain Gill. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." I must discipline him well when we get back. I absolutely cannot let Lab become like the captain!
"Haqiu!"
Gel sneezed and blew his nose casually, not realizing that he had become a negative example for other people to educate their children while eating his meal.
"Meow!"
Rab put down the small bag he was holding in his mouth.
"What? You said you found the record pointer?"
Kurokas's face immediately turned from gloomy to bright. He squatted down, picked up the sack, untied the bow, and took out a crystal glass ball from it.
It's the record pointer!
Kurokas took out his own pointer for comparison and found that it was pointing in a different direction.
"Hahaha, well done! Lab! The captain will definitely reward you when we get back! This is the pointer to the completed record we are looking for! Great, let's go, let's meet the captain right away, and then we can prepare to leave this damn place!"
After saying this, Kurokas carefully put away the pointer, then picked up Lab and put it on his shoulder, and went back to take the bag of treasure. After all, this bag of treasure was the result of his labor for half a day, and he would definitely not forget to take it away and let it go to waste.
The man and the cat walked around the island and returned to the place where they started out, but they did not meet Captain Gill.
Kurokus could only activate his Observation Haki to discover Captain Gol's location.
"Huh? Why did you run into the cave? Did the captain get captured by the savages?"
Kurokas frowned and walked up the mountain with Lab.
