"Can you imagine that, ten to seven, I rushed to the opposite deck and knocked over two, and turned around to see that three of my companions were being beaten, and six of them had already run back to the ship." Annie said angrily, "and it's not the first time that this kind of thing has happened. OK, I'm going crazy. Besides, our ship, the Golden Swallow, sounds like a bluff, but it's actually a fishing boat! We'll go to the sea to feed the fish if the storm is a little bigger! I dare not run too far from the harbor every time. The captain is even more timid. When I see a bigger merchant ship, it runs faster than anyone else. I don't know, I think we were robbed! "
Zhang Heng doesn't know what to say when he hears the speech. There are many pirates in Nassau, but most of them are small-scale. A dozen or so people dare to go out to sea if they want to find a boat. When they rob, they raise the black flag. If the other party is afraid of surrendering, they can return with a full load. On the contrary, if they really want to fight, they are faster than anyone else.
Strictly speaking, they are not even pirates, but speculators with the black flag as a deterrent.
"I really envy you. There are more than 30 guns on the sea lion, and there is a powerful captain. I heard that every time you go out to sea, you are looking for fat sheep who are hard to chew, and you dare to shoot against warships. That's pirates. I've been longing for such a life. Damn it, I wish I were a man. Fat people can get on the ship. I can't fight in this way
The more Annie thought about it, the more angry she was. She slapped her hand on the chair beside her. As a result, not only the wound on her arm was shaken open, but also the clothes on her body slipped down. However, she didn't care at all. Instead, she looked at someone with expectant eyes. "Hey, fat man, didn't you say that you have many friends on the sea lion, would you please introduce me?"
Zhang Heng picked up the clothes on the ground and threw them to the red haired girl's chest. "How many times have you said that the sea lion doesn't accept women? It's no use. Besides, don't take off your clothes at home. Since you are lodging here, you should abide by my rules."
"What are you afraid of? Why can a man be topless, but not a woman?" Annie complained that the poor red haired girl had become a feminist because of gender discrimination in the workplace.
"What are you talking about?" Malvern came in from the outside with a bowl of mashed herbs,
"we were talking about the fact that every man on this island seems to be able to find a job he likes, while women either do housework and take care of their children at home, or it seems that they can only go to a Jiyuan to make money." Annie murmured, and then she said, "if we can form a pirate group to fight by ourselves, I can fight one against three, Zhang Heng should be able to fight two, and fat man, well, fat man should be able to fight one against half, so the three of us are better than the gang of rubbish on the Golden Swallow."
"One against half, is there any other way to do this?" Malvern was stunned.
"It's better to go home than this. Even if you don't like your father, isn't your mother still worried about you?" Zhang Heng paused and said, "if you need, I can provide you with the fare to go back."
"No way! It's impossible Annie shook her head and said, "I swore before I escaped that I would not go back unless I had more money than that man. Moreover, only the free life of pirates is the most suitable for me. It's something flowing in my heart and can't be changed. I like this island and this place. Every breath here is the breath of freedom! "
…………
Zhang Heng just thinks the child is hopeless.
At this time, someone knocked at the door downstairs. The farmer's son left the herbs on the table for Annie. Then he went downstairs with Zhang Heng. When he opened the door, he found that their old acquaintance was standing outside.
Goodwin, the warm-hearted man recognized on the sea lion.
The latter came in, looked at it curiously, and praised, "it's a good place. Although it's far away from the town, it's quite quiet. It seems that you've settled down. What's the matter? Do you have any difficulties? Are you still used to life on the island?"
Zhang Heng and Malvern let people in, and then the latter went to boil some water and make tea.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Goodwin finally got to the point.
The black gunner looked at Zhang Heng and grinned, "Roscoe is retired and plans to go back to England to see his daughter. You must know about this, but in this way, the position of the length of the sailline on the sea lion will be vacant. How about it? Are you interested?"
"Me?" Zhang Heng had some accidents. In the past four months, Roscoe didn't teach him all his skills. But this kind of thing can't be accomplished overnight. A lot of things clearly don't mean that he can do it. It also depends on a lot of experience. After the old man left, Zhang Heng was not the best person to control the sails on the sea lion. As far as the position of the sailline leader is concerned, a few of Roscoe's original subordinates are still in charge Old sailors are more suitable than him.
"Give yourself a little confidence. We all trust you. You are Roscoe's only student. After he leaves, you should take his place." Goodwin encouraged, "believe me, there's more than one person on board who has this idea."
"Really?" Malvern is probably the most excited person in the room. He is holding Zhang Heng's thigh now. Naturally, he hopes that the higher the position of Zhang Heng on the ship, the better. It is a very important position for the sailor to be on any ship. Considering that they have only been on the ship for more than seven months, this is undoubtedly a leap.Zhang Heng, however, was noncommittal. He just sat there quietly waiting for the black gunner to write down. Sure enough, the latter continued, "it's time to change. I don't know what you think of our helmsman Orff? Many people on the ship felt that he was too weak in the negotiation with the captain and failed to protect the interests of the crew. Especially for the newcomers, we didn't get enough attention. When we fought, we rushed to the front and did the most work, but we only got a slight priority. The important positions on the ship were basically controlled by the old people, the newcomers It's hard to get ahead. "
Goodwin said, "I'm not saying that the old people are not doing well. Our requirements are very simple. We just want a fairer environment to increase the voice of the new people on board. What do you think of this proposal?"
Zhang Heng calmly listened to the black gunner finish, then asked, "so for the new voice this task and fall on who's head?"
Goodwin straightened his upper body and showed his white teeth. "I'm not ambitious, but since everyone trusts me, I'm willing to do something for the big guy."
