Chapter 196

"What do you mean your house was invaded last night?" Zhang Heng asked Vincent, who was a little nervous across the desk.

"To be honest, I don't know exactly what happened. I went to bed early last night. In the middle of the night, I opened my eyes vaguely and saw the window wide open. A dark figure was standing by my window, with my back to me, looking for something in the cupboard."

"How do you know he's looking for it?" Zhang Heng asked, pointing to the collection of love poems brought back from Clark's boat on the table.

"Because he turned my bedroom upside down, I got 33 Spanish gold coins and put them in the cupboard, but he didn't touch them. There was still some change on the table, and he only took the supply record and inventory from the shelf, but I put this collection of love poems under my pillow."

"Wait, why do you put this under your pillow?" Annie picked her eyebrows.

The young doctor turned red and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Sensing his embarrassment, Zhang Heng took the initiative to shift the topic and asked, "did you see his face?"

Vincent nodded at the words, with a look of fear on his face. "He's not human. His clothes are wet, just like he just fished out of the water, with a strong smell of salty. Water drops drop down his sleeves and trouser legs on the ground. In addition, there are seaweed and shells hanging on his hair and clothes."

The young ship doctor recalled the terrible scene before and began to shiver again. "I pretended that I was still sleeping, but I secretly opened my eyes and saw his hand and side face. There were scales on it. Then he seemed to find me, turned around and grinned at me, and I was stunned. When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark When it was on, I ran out of the house

Vincent said and took out three notes from his body, "in fact, I have translated almost all these things, leaving only a few pages of supply records. I'm sorry that I didn't protect them well."

"No, you've done a good job. It's been a hard time." Zhang Heng took the note and said, "I have another invitation. Can you go to your place to have a look?"

"Of course." The young ship doctor nodded and said, "welcome to be a guest."

The three came to Vincent's house. It was a small wooden house, but it was enough to live alone. There were many plants planted nearby, including some rare species on the island. Zhang Heng remembered that Billy once said that he liked phytology when he introduced Vincent.

The walls of his house were covered with vines and looked beautiful. Next to them was Billy's house.

The helmsman of the Jackdaw was walking in the yard with his two-year-old daughter. He saw three people coming from a distance and gave their daughter to his wife. Then he came over.

"You're here for that."

"Can you wait for me a moment?" Vincent opened the door and looked at Annie, a little embarrassed.

"this is your home. You has the final say." Zhang Hengdao.

The young ship doctor, with a look of gratitude on his face, flashed in through the crack of the door. Then he took the door as fast as he could, and soon there was a clanging sound.

Taking this opportunity, Zhang Heng asked Billy, "you live next door to him. Did you notice anything unusual last night?"

The latter shook his head. "As soon as I get back to the land, I'll sleep to death. I didn't know what happened until he knocked on my door in his pajamas this morning. The child was really scared last night. I haven't seen him so flustered."

After a moment's hesitation, Billy asked again, "do you think this has anything to do with the ghost ship?"

"I'm not sure yet." Zhang Heng thought of the strange storm on the way back to Nassau. All kinds of signs showed that they had indeed encountered a supernatural phenomenon. From this point of view, the owner of the ghost ship wanted to get back his own things is also the most reasonable explanation. But I don't know why he always felt that something was wrong.

That's why I brought it up to Vincent's house to have a look.

After a while, the young doctor opened the door again and invited them to come in.

At this time, Vincent has cleaned up the living room, he also turned out a bag of tea to make water, but Zhang Heng didn't care to drink.

When they walked into the bedroom of the young doctor, they first saw the dense plant specimens and sketches on the wall, and then the clothes and boots scattered on the ground.

Vincent looks a little embarrassed. He hasn't had time to clean up here yet. However, as far as a bachelor is concerned, his bedroom is not too bad. Zhang Heng saw many more deadly bedrooms when he lived on campus.

Just glancing at them, Zhang Heng moved his eyes away from the plant specimens. Then he squatted down and touched the floor with his fingers. There were some water stains on the floor before, but now it's still wet. It should be the place where the uninvited guest stayed for a long time, including the cupboard and in front of the bed.

In addition, Zhang Heng also found two small shells and a scale on the ground, which seems to confirm the story told by the young ship doctor from the side. As for the smell of fishy salt, it has faded a lot because of the ventilation.Zhang Heng went to the window again, where the uninvited guest came in and left. There were two pots of unknown plants on the windowsill, but one of them was knocked down and a small garden below.

"Is that ok?" Zhang Heng looked at the young ship doctor. With the latter's permission, he climbed up to the windowsill and jumped into the garden.

Zhang Heng tried to step on the soil under his feet twice, "how often do you usually water it?"

"Well, once a week. I'll ask netty when I go out. She last watered it five days ago."

Netty is also Billy's wife. He helped Vincent a lot after he moved here. That's why Vincent was willing to work as a ship doctor on the Jackdaw after Billy spoke.

Zhang Heng walked around the garden and saw that there were still several families nearby. So he and Annie visited them one by one. Unfortunately, they didn't get any useful information. Vincent's residence was invaded in the middle of the night. At this time, everyone was asleep, and no one saw the suspicious figure described by the young ship doctor nearby.

Lunch was eaten at Billy's home at noon. Vincent's spirit was still in a trance. It was obvious that what happened last night stimulated him a lot. It was not until the young ship doctor got Billy's permission to stay at his home for two days that he showed his gratitude and cheered up a little.
