Chapter 101

The merchant ship was shelled before, and there was some damage to the hull. Although it was not serious, it was certainly not good to leave it alone. The two carpenters soon put themselves into their work.

After Owen left, Malvern finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed, "it's so dangerous. Just now, it was so terrible. I thought I would squeeze in that boat and die alone on the sea, but now the good news is that we all stay. Although we joined the pirates, on the bright side, we can at least survive."

"On the deck at that time, when I spoke, you seemed very nervous. Why, were you afraid that I would take your place?" Zhang Hengdao.

"Ah?" Malvern said with a strong smile, "no, no, I'm afraid they will hurt you. These are all murderers. You are brave. I dare not look them in the eyes when I speak to them..."

"I'm curious, Malvern. If I really wanted to take your place, what would you do to shake out what happened in the kitchen?"

Zhang Heng light way.

"How could it be?" Malvern shook his head like a rattle, but his eyes kept dodging. "You saved my life. I won't sell you anyway."

"That's best, because I can assure you that if you poke it out, you can't get away with it."

Malvern grinned, but his expression showed that he didn't believe it.

"Do you know why that guy is so dead that I have to stab him three times in the back with a potato knife?"

"You You Malvern finally turned pale this time. He didn't understand Zhang Heng's superfluous act. He thought it was just a simple act of venting his anger. But now he finally realized what the other party's purpose was.

"It's very difficult for one person to leave wounds on the other person's chest and back at the same time, but if there is a helper, it's a good explanation. You can tell your story, and I can tell mine, but in the end, the experience of the corpse proves which of us sounds more credible."

While they were talking, another cry came from the outside, "Vic, Vic, where the hell are you? If you don't come out again, you won't have your share in the spoils. "

Several pirates swearing along the corridor.

Zhang Heng got up and patted Malvern with a dead face. "It's late. I'm going to get my musket. It's time for you to cook. Tonight, when everyone is asleep, we'll work together and throw the thing buried under the smoked fish into the sea, so that we'll have no worries."

After solving the problem of the farmer's son, Zhang Heng received a firegun and a dagger with a notch on it from difrena, who was in charge of the ship's ordnance weapons. However, he didn't have time to get familiar with his new weapon, so Zhang Heng received his first task after he became a pirate: sweeping the deck.

Yes, the life of pirates is not much different from that of ordinary sailors when they don't raise the black flag. In fact, many of them were sailors before, either because they couldn't stand the oppression of the captain, or because they wanted to take risks and get rich overnight All in all, they chose to be pirates for various reasons.

However, no one likes to stay in a dirty and bad environment, even the sloppy pirates, which has nothing to do with cleanliness, just because there are so many deadly things on the sea.

Keeping a good environment not only helps to stabilize the mood, but also can effectively reduce the risk of sailors getting sick. Therefore, pirates will regularly clean up the deck, especially after the first World War. There are bodies and blood everywhere. Zhang Heng and five other people worked for two hours to make the blood on the deck a little lighter.

Malvern also cooked dinner before sunset. I don't know how he did it. The taste was unexpectedly good. Zhang Heng knew that he had passed the most difficult stage and could stay on board.

Don't underestimate the value of a good cook.

Sometimes pirates go out to rob not only money, but also people. Life on the sea is boring, especially when the ship is full of bloody men. It's easy to cause riots after a long time. An excellent chef can relieve the mental pressure of the sailors to a certain extent through delicious food.

That's why it's stipulated that cooks who don't fight most of the time get the same share of the spoils as the most dangerous Gunners in the fight, and no one disputes that.

Night soon came, and the captain and helmsman returned to the sea lion after the battle. They took about two-thirds of the pirates, and the remaining one-third was under the command of Irving, the boatswain, who became the temporary captain of the ship.

The pirates are in a good mood tonight. They have just experienced a battle. They have been suppressing their opponents from beginning to end. They have won the ship without blood. The price they paid is only three deaths and five minor injuries. The result is enough for them to have a drink.

Some people played the Irish organ. During this period, some pirates mentioned Vic's name. Most people thought that he had sneaked back to the walrus.Some people talked about the money that Vic owed him before, and doubted if this guy had slipped away, which made everyone laugh again.

Until Owen's figure appeared in the dining hall, his eyes swept over a group of pirates and said, "the news just came from the sea lion. They are very sure that Vic is not on it. Who is the last one to see him today?"

The pirates looked at each other. Generally speaking, there were only two kinds of results in combat, either dead or alive. Before that, there had never been a case in which the living disappeared.

"Could it have fallen into the water?" Someone guessed.

"No way. I checked before sailing. There are no Drowners nearby." Another pirate shook his head.

Then someone echoed, "yes, I saw him rush into the cabin under the deck. He was the first one to go in. I haven't seen him since then."

The pirates are talking, but no one can tell why Vic is missing.

Owen's eyes turned to the new recruits. However, Malvern was still in the kitchen. He didn't see anything unusual in the faces of the remaining three. They were different from the pirates. They were basically sitting in the corner quietly eating their own dinner. However, considering that they were still on the side of being looted, their performance was normal.

So Owen turned his eyes back. "Well, who's in charge of counting the booty in the afternoon? The captain will come back five minutes later."
