"Frazer is the oldest pirate on the island. I heard that he was famous here before I arrived in Nassau. Some people said that he and Henry Morgan fought side by side to rob the Spanish settlements together. In the last battle, he plundered 2 million pounds to make this old **** rich in oil. After Henry Morgan was recalled by the queen to jail, he also left Jamaica to Nassau, and recruited soldiers here to buy horses. At the heyday The pirate regiment has eleven pirate ships, hundreds of artillery, and seven or eight hundred men. "
"What happened later?" Zhang Heng asked.
"I don't know. There are rumors that he wanted to accept the Queen's pardon in secret. After the news came out, his men were mutiny. He was voted to deprive the captain of his job and the pirate regiment was disbanded. The most ordinary sailor. "The armourer gloated.
"But he is still your creditor." Zhang Heng friendship reminded.
After hearing the words, the Armorer couldn't laugh anymore, and couldn't help swearing, "Okay, I've told you everything I know according to your request, and then it's your turn to fulfill the agreement . "
Zhang Heng was not stingy when he got what he wanted to know. He left ten silver pesos on the table and said, "One last question, where can I rent a house in the town?"
Uh ...
There are 58 silver coins left in Zhang Heng's pocket. Of course, he can choose to stay at a hotel, but considering that he will spend more than ten years on this small island, Zhang Heng decides to find a foothold, which he chooses. The place is a little far away from the pier, closer to the center of the island, in a farmland, but the advantage is relatively quiet, and the price is cheap, even if you buy it, it only costs 160 silver coins, and it costs only 17 silver coins for two years.
However, there is only an empty wooden house that looks like it may fall at any time. In fact, Nassau is full of such houses. There was a period of time when Nassau's pirate activities were rampant. Spain and France once regularly The navy was sent to raz the ground, so the property was not worth it.
Zhang Heng paid for it, bought some daily necessities, and moved in. The next morning he set about repairing and renovating the house.
In the days spent alone on the desert island, he had personally built tile houses and wooden frames, which is a bit basic for the building, but there is no problem if it is repaired and reinforced.
The Bahamas has a subtropical climate. The average annual temperature is around 2334 degrees. Although it is spring, the temperature is not low. Zhang Heng took off his shirt and rode on the roof with his upper body naked. He used a hammer and nails to lift the roof. Vulnerabilities are patched one by one.
六 A six- or seven-year-old girl next door to the neighbor's house secretly looked at him behind the palm tree. Zhang Heng smiled at her kindly, but the latter hurried home barefoot the next moment.
But then a familiar figure appeared not far away.
——Malvin, the son of the farmer, was less than a day apart from Zhang Heng, but his appearance changed dramatically. His clothes were ripped off a sleeve, and only one boot was left on his feet. Beyond that, his body was blue and purple, and his eyes were swollen, looking very miserable.
来到 He came outside the wooden house and squeezed a flattering smile from his face. "Well ... can you give me something to eat? I have been hungry since last night."
"Aren't there 25 silver pesos on your body?"
丢 "Lost, lose," Malvin embarrassed.
The farmer ’s son was planning to run away on a pier last night, but apparently failed, he was beaten badly, and his money was stolen. This is too shameful, even if he is a bit embarrassed to talk about it When he came out, he was so desperate now that he had no choice but to inquire about Zhang Heng's residence again.
Zhang Heng and Malvin have been together for such a long time that it is clear what the other party ’s goods are, selfish, thick, timid and hypocritical. After breaking up in front of the exchange, he had no plans to control the life and death of the latter, but now Zhang Heng It changed the attention again.
This time the main task is different from the past, asking him to build his own force in Nassau.
He still doesn't know what the so-called power standard is, but this kind of thing is certainly not something he can do alone.
He needs a team, especially in this group of pirates who like to vote democratically. The number often means everything. Even the fierce role of Fraser, after losing the support of the people, the huge pirate group formed also fell apart.
马尔 And Malvin's waste also represented a vote, and because of his escape, he was likely to be rejected by other people on the boat, so he had no choice but to fall to Zhang Heng.
Even if a piece of rag is useful, a villain like Malvin naturally has his role.
So Zhang Heng didn't break through the poor lie of the farmer's son ~ www.novelhall.com ~ but said lightly, "There are bread and cheese on the table, you can get it yourself."
The latter came to Zhang Heng also holding the attitude of a dead horse as a living horse doctor. There was no way he did n’t know many people. After this happened, he did n’t know who would keep him, especially considering Up to his previous performances, Zhang Heng did not fall down and stabbed him together. It was considered good, but he did not expect that the other party not only did not investigate the previous things, but also gave him food.
Malvern gorged on the bread in his hand, remembering his tragic encounter, tears burst into his eyes.
Seeing Zhang Heng come down from the roof, he could no longer restrain his feelings, choked and said emotionally, "Sorry, I was wrong. I was wrong before those things, and I will never do it again. From now on I will Your life is yours, even if someone puts a knife holder around my neck, I will never betray you again! "
Is moved? Zhang Heng believes that at least at this moment, the son of the farmer is indeed grateful, but this gratitude will not last more than two days, and will be excreted along with the food he eats in the stomach. Actually, After not more than two days, now someone puts the knife holder on his neck, and he will also choose to betray again without hesitation, because this is his nature.
However, Zhang Heng didn't care about it. He never expected the farmer's son to be reliable at critical times.
After the contents of the wooden barrel were taken off the ship by the old pirates, the fate of the two people was no longer bound. Zhang Heng wiped his hands and said to Marvin, "You eat slowly, I'll go out for a turn."
The latter looked a little flustered, apparently worried that Zhang Heng found out what happened last night. Zhang Heng had to add another sentence, "Relax, it's not because of you."
