Chapter 214

Zhang Heng and Annie have taken people to search half of the island, but they have not found Harry's whereabouts.

"Why didn't I find that guy running so well before?" Annie was a little surprised by the result. It is reasonable to say that the farther away from the beach, the less likely it is to find people, because most people don't run so far.

"It seems that he is really lost." After hearing what happened, quartermaster difrenna also took the initiative to join the search team. Now there is a distance of about two meters between the people, shouting Harry's name while walking, but there is no harvest.

Just then, a sailor on the left side of the line found out.

Zhang Heng and others walked over and saw a wooden barrel and two wine bottles.

"Is this from the observer?"

Zhang Heng lifted the bucket cover with his saber and looked at it. "In order to monitor the movement of the Spanish treasure ship, three observation points were set up on the island, but as far as I know, none of them are in this area."

"That's what Bauer's men left in the afternoon when they were hunting."

This time, difrenna said, "Bauer is hunting in the west of the island. The wild goats are there, and they don't take buckets directly." Seeing all the people's eyes focused, the Quartermaster shrugged, "this is what I specially inquired about with their people in the evening. If possible, when I leave, I want to roast some sheep and take them on board."

"It seems that these things are left by the people who went to the island before." Annie said.

Although the parrot island is uninhabited, it is an island recorded on the nautical chart after all, so it is not unreasonable that there are traces of human activities on it.

Zhang Heng, noncommittal, dipped his little finger in some water and sipped it in his mouth. "The fresh water here is very clean and drinkable, not long ago." Then he squatted down again and checked the two wine bottles.

"Do you mean there are other people on the island besides us?"

"It's impossible." "We did a thorough search after we went to the island, and there is really no one else here but us," said difrenna flatly

"How do you explain this bucket of fresh water?"

"Maybe someone just left before we went to the island..." Dufresne hesitated in the middle of his speech, because if so, these things should have been found in a comprehensive search before.

"It's our people." Zhang Heng Dao, he handed one of the bottles to the red haired girl.

"The rum we drink is usually produced by a winery in North Carolina and transported to Nassau for sale. Their bottles are very special. Although the wine from that winery is also sold to other parts of the colony, the probability of meeting it here is very small."

"Wait, why are our people here?" The red haired girl was puzzled and said, "is it captain Sam's arrangement?"

"It's not possible. The location here is not very good. The most important thing is that it's not on the route of the Spanish treasure ship. It's a waste to set up observation points here, and the most important thing is that if he does it without reason, he won't tell others."

Zhang Heng pause, "we'd better be careful, what may have happened on the island."

As soon as his voice fell, there was a sound of walking among the trees in the distance. Zhang Heng pulled out the short musket at his waist for the first time, and Annie also drew out her saber.

After a while, a figure stumbled out from behind the tree. Almost at the same time, the girl with red hair rushed over. However, her saber drew an arc and then stopped in the air.

"Harry?"

"Old Annie!" The latter look very embarrassed, wet all over, just like just out of the water, also limping, a hand covering the arm wound, but see Zhang Heng and others, he looked very excited, shouting, "I have something important to tell you!"

"Important things? Why don't you tell me how to make yourself like this first. " Said the redhead.

"It's really urgent!" Harry said hastily, "we have been betrayed. Jarvis and his confidants have accepted the amnesty. They were not pirates a few months ago. The reason why they still stay in Nassau is that he and the new governor of Charleston have reached an agreement to help them catch the famous pirates in Nassau in turn!"

"Jarvis, Jarvis?" Difrenna frowned. "Are you sure you want to charge him? He's a very old pirate on the island. He came to the island earlier than Blackbeard."

Harry nodded. "That's what I heard. I'm lazy Oh, no, I ran here when I had diarrhea. There was a cliff not far away. Jarvis's people hid a small boat under it when everyone didn't pay attention. I saw the boat leave there with my own eyes. I wanted to try to see if I could see the people on it clearly, but just then someone pushed me behind and I fell from it. "

Harry was still a little shaken when he said, "there are rocks under that cliff, but I was lucky to fall into the crevice between two rocks and didn't get hurt. But then I didn't dare to go ashore and swim behind one rock to hide."After a while, the people who pushed me down also came down. They searched the place and didn't find me. They probably thought I was dead, so they relaxed their vigilance. Moreover, they happened to be standing near the reef where I was hiding, and I heard their conversation.

"One of them said that he thought he was going to stay in Nassau for a while, but this time it's easy. Now most of the most famous pirates in Nassau are on this island. As long as we are caught, we can finish the task ahead of time. I've heard from them that the new governor of Charleston will not only pardon them for all their previous crimes, but also pay them a severance payment of 20 pounds each. They've been planning for a long time and leaked our information before they left Hong Kong. "

Harry was very worried and spoke faster and faster. "Right behind us, a fleet of Navy and pirate hunters has been quietly following us. That boat is to contact them. This dinner is also Jarvis's idea, in order to create hands-on opportunities for that fleet."

Zhang Heng's heart moves, thinking of the thing that Manfan Brooke and he mentioned before. When he was robbed, he was targeted by a group of people of unknown origin. Brooke thought that the other party was pirates from other places, but now it seems that the group may be pirates hunters cooperating with Jarvis.
