"You're back. I made seafood soup with conch and oyster that I didn't sell in the afternoon. It's just out of the pot, and it's still hot!" Malvern heard the sound of footsteps, wearing a leather apron from the kitchen happily out of the head, only to see a strange red haired girl.
Zhang Heng followed her and introduced them to each other. "Annie, this is Malvern of the sea lion. Malvern, this is Annie of the Golden Swallow. She will stay here for a while until Well, she found her place on the island. "
"Seafood soup?" Annie sniffed. "Can I have a bowl?"
Malvern was stunned. Then he said, "of course, I've done a lot. Even three people can drink enough, but..."
Before he finished, the girl with red hair rushed into the kitchen. Regardless of the heat, she picked up a spoon and began to drink. She seemed to be hungry for a long time. After gudongdong took a few mouthfuls, she filled herself with a bowl full of oysters with the largest bowl she could find. She came out with it and looked askance at the farmer's son. "But what?"
"Well, I want to say, but if it's not salty enough, you can put more salt in it." Malvern was shocked by the momentum of the red haired girl and whispered.
"It's just food. It's enough to satisfy one's hunger. The taste doesn't matter at all." As she spoke, Anne took a bowl and sat down on the dining table in the living room.
"I We must fight this heresy in real name. " Mr. cook summoned up courage and expressed his protest in a voice smaller than a mosquito.
According to Annie herself, she was born in a wealthy family. Her father is a lawyer and owns a large orchard and other fragmented industries. However, her mother is just a maid and Annie is their illegitimate daughter. Since her birth, the mother and daughter have been arranged in a secret manor. Her father is reliable, at least in the money side The noodles didn't treat them badly. They also invited Annie a teacher to cultivate her into a lady.
It's a pity that things backfire. Unlike other girls, Anne has no interest in reading and dancing. Instead, she likes to dance with a knife and a gun. Moreover, because of her childhood experience, she is more and more eager for freedom. Especially, listening to her mother's stories about pirates before going to bed from childhood has incomparable attraction for her.
So she finally escaped from the manor with a passing sailor, escaping from her father's control all the time. They ran all the way to Nassau, the legendary pirate kingdom. Annie was one step closer to her dream life. However, after that, she was faced with the dilemma of not finding a job, even though she easily defeated the leader of the pub She is a pirate, but no pirate ship is willing to accept her.
It's just because she's a woman.
When it rained at night, James Bernie, the sailor who brought her to Nassau, also showed her the cards. He said that she couldn't control her food and housing so endlessly, unless Anne was willing to marry him. As a result, the irascible red haired girl kicked the lower part of the former and then slammed the door out.
But now it seems that all this is in the past. Annie got the letter of recommendation from the Golden Swallow and got a job. At the same time, she also found a temporary place to live. It seems that her life is about to open a new page.
…………
Annie's affair is a small episode. Zhang Heng just had a brief understanding of the girl's experience and didn't care about her any more. The only advantage of the house he rented is that it's big enough. Even if Annie is given a room, there are still many vacant rooms. Especially when he and Malvern go out to sea, there are always some unexpected guests here. It's better to let them go than those tramps Annie, there's no reason to refuse this kind of work.
But then Zhang Heng turned his eyes back to the most important thing at the moment.
In view of this copy of the time is particularly long, he is not worried, especially in the early period of time, Zhang Heng did not have the intention to pull up the flag in a hurry.
Compared with other players, his biggest advantage is time. Zhang Heng can brush up his skills in one or two years, and then start the main line task. He is lucky that the sea lion is one of the most powerful pirates in Nassau, which also means that he has a lot to learn from above, and controlling the sail is definitely one of his main goals .
It's not far from the day when they set sail for the fourth time. On the last night before going to sea, Zhang Heng found the length of the sea lion's sail.
Unlike most pirates who leave their hometown or go out to make a difference, Roscoe belongs to the kind of people who are really indifferent. It is said that he used to be the captain of a cargo ship, but on the way, he was suddenly intercepted by a Royal Navy warship for no reason. Without any warning and negotiation, the other side suddenly launched a gun and sank Roscoe's cargo ship What's more, his wife and five-year-old daughter were on board.
Although Roscoe survived by luck, he lost everything. No one believed his story after he returned home. On the contrary, he was burdened with huge debts and finally had to leave the civilized world to become a pirate.
He has no family or relatives. He is one of the most single people on the ship. He doesn't set up real estate on the island. Every time he gets off the ship, he directly plunges into the Jiyuan. Well, considering his age, his ability in some aspects is really good.In a word, for the old man, there are only two ideal endings in his life, either to die on the sea or in the bed of the Jiyuan. Moreover, in order to ensure that he will not be taken advantage of by anyone after his death, he hardly saves any money.
When Zhang Heng finds Roscoe, the latter is playing the game between the king and the prisoner in the room.
Zhang Heng pushed the door open, only looked at the scene of the room, and then stepped back out. He closed the door, and after half a minute, a girl wrapped in sheets came out of the room.
No one is in a good mood to be interrupted when doing this kind of thing. Roscoe can't help scolding as he puts on his clothes. "I've said it many times. Unless I can't walk any more, you won't learn my skills. It's not negotiable. I'll count three. If you don't get out of front of me, even if I retire, you won't think about it..."
"Korol, your daughter." Zhang Heng interrupted the old man's curse. "She drifted on the sea for three days after she fell into the water. When she was dying, she was lucky to meet a Spanish civilian ship. The people on it rescued her and later sent her back to England. But you were no longer there at that time. So she was adopted by a kind-hearted family. As an adult, she married a miller and gave birth to three sons and two daughters She's already a grandmother. "
"No way, you're lying to me!" Roscoe not only was not happy, but angrily said, "you mean little liar, you don't know where you heard my story, so you can never succeed in fabricating such a bad lie to cheat me out of my most proud technology."
This time, Zhang Heng did not speak any more, but put the toy Trojan horse in front of the old man.
Sure enough, Roscoe's eyes immediately changed when he saw it. He looked excited and said, "this is the toy I made for Korol on the ship. Where do you come from?"
