Chapter 104

Zhang Heng took advantage of these two days to do a little exercise, eating Malvern's carefully cooked food, his physical strength is also rapidly recovering, by the next night, he can easily walk around, but there is no small distance from his peak.

But there is no time left for him. According to their current sailing speed, they can reach Nassau tomorrow morning.

He and Marvin have to get rid of the body in the barrel tonight.

Owen came to visit Zhang Heng after dinner and exchanged greetings to let him have a good rest and not worry about work. Zhang Heng expressed his thanks, and then Goodwin came to chat with him about his life as a sailor on the supply ship.

Late at night, all the sailors climbed into the hammock. Zhang Heng didn't worry. He waited another hour to make sure everyone was asleep. Then he got up from the bed and walked into the kitchen through the incessant snoring.

Malvern had been on pins and needles there for a long time. Most of the candles on the table had been burned. He held a potato in his hand and pretended to be peeling, but his mind was not on it at all.

Hearing the footsteps outside, he immediately said subconsciously, "Mr. Dufresne, I'll finish soon. I'll go to bed right away..."

In the middle of his words, when he looked up and saw the people coming in, he was relieved and said, "Why are you so late? Do you know how many times I've been asked why I don't go to bed? If I go on like this, I'll be doubted. "

"Find an excuse to explain why you don't sleep and drag it all the way out when everyone is awake. Which behavior do you think is more dangerous?" Zhang Heng asked.

Malvern said with a smile, "I'm not complaining about you. I just think maybe we have a safer way..."

Zhang Heng interrupted him, "the sooner we solve this problem, the sooner we will get out of danger, whether it's me or you, so if you really care about your own safety, we should do it now."

This time, Malvern finally said nothing more, and Zhang Heng raised the barrel together.

They walked out of the kitchen, through the corridor and storage room outside, to the door of the sailor's cabin.

Malvern took a deep breath. He was about to move, but Zhang Heng grabbed him. Then he saw a pirate kneading his eyes and getting up from the hammock. The latter probably drank too much rum at dinner. When he was half asleep, he was choked up by a stream of urine and left the sailor's Cabin in a hurry. After a while, he swayed back with his pants and fell on the bed It's on.

After another quarter of an hour, Zhang Heng nodded to Malvern. They continued to lift the barrel. The farmer's son felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He didn't know how he moved to the boat step by step. It was as long as a century.

Any pirate nearby turned over or whispered in his dream made him tremble.

It wasn't until he got out of the sailor's cabin and went up to the upper floor that Marvin felt a little less nervous and said in a low voice, "what shall we do, go to the deck?"

"No, there are people patrolling there, and there are people at the helm. It's hard for them not to find out if they go up there." Zhang Heng said, "the room on this floor was originally prepared for passengers. The window is big enough to send the body out. How about the things I asked you to check before."

"Well, our original rooms are now occupied by the vanguards," Malvern said, "but there are still two rooms which are empty because they are badly damaged. There are not enough wood on the main ship, so we have to put them in the places that do not affect the navigation."

"Good, then lead the way."

After a half minute's rest, Malvern was in front and Zhang Heng was behind. He carried the bucket to the penultimate room at the end of the corridor. Malvern looked at Zhang Heng, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. There was no movement inside.

The farmer's son then boldly pushed the door open, and the room was empty. In the previous battle, the room was unfortunately hit by four shells, and the side walls almost disappeared. However, because it was far away from the waterline, it was simply nailed with a few boards, and now it is still leaking.

After putting down the barrel, Malvern closed the door at the first time and said in a hurry, "now that we're in the place, let's quickly throw the body off the ship!"

Zhang Hengzheng stood in front of the damaged wall and looked down. Then he shook his head and said, "no, there are almost no waves this evening, and the landing point is too high. The sound of the body falling into the water may be heard by the people on the deck."

"What about that?" Ma Wen said, "we can't wait any longer. This is the last night. If we can't get rid of the body..."

"I didn't say not to deal with it," Zhang Heng frowned. "It's not good for me to drag it down. Let's go to find a section of cable and wrap it around the body. As long as we put it down slowly, it's OK."

"That's a good idea," Malvern said immediately, turning from worry to joy. "You'd better be considerate. Travelers are different. I'll go to find the rope now."

As he spoke, he opened the door again, but then the smile on his face completely froze.The farmer's son's eyes were full of horror, because his bones were shaking uncontrollably.

"Sorry, did I interrupt your appointment?" The uninvited guest outside the door opened his mouth and said leisurely.

It was an old pirate with a beard on his chin, a ragged grey hat on his head, and rotten teeth when he smiles.

His eyes fell on the barrel behind Malvern, and he raised his eyebrows. "So, is that where poor Vic has been these days?"

Zhang Heng in the shortest time to make a judgment, with the fastest speed out of the short musket, pointing at the old pirates, but the latter's look is the same.

"Believe me, son, I eat more salt when I'm pointed at with a gun than you. Let me tell you what will happen next. You pull the trigger and I'll be killed. Well, I have no doubt about that. However, the sound of the gun will wake up the vanguard next door. You may be hacked to death in the resistance, or you may be caught and executed. I don't know which is more serious Worse, considering your age and mine, it's not a good deal, is it? "

Zhang Heng heard that Yan was silent for a moment. He had realized that it was no accident that the old pirates would appear here tonight. I'm afraid that the other side had already watched them, but he didn't show his cards until this time.

But on the bright side, it seems that the old pirate did not intend to give justice to the bald head in the barrel, otherwise he would not be the only one standing outside now.

Zhang Heng decided to listen to each other first.
