48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng took advantage of these two days for a little exercise, eating the food carefully cooked by Marvin, and his strength was recovering rapidly. By the next night, he could walk around without effort, but there was still a considerable gap from his peak.

But we don't have time for him anymore, and with their current sailing speed, we'll be in Nassau as soon as tomorrow morning.

He and Marvin have to get rid of that body in the barrel tonight.

After dinner, Owen visited Zhang Heng, chilled out a few words, let him rest well, don't worry about the work, Zhang Heng expressed his gratitude, then Goodwin, came and chatted with him a while ago to be a sailor on the supply boat.

In the middle of the night, all sailors climbed onto the hammock. Zhang Heng was not in a hurry, and waited another hour to make sure everyone entered the dream country. He only climbed out of bed and walked into the kitchen through the rumbling noise.

Marvin was there like a needle felt, and half of the candles on the table had been burned, and he was holding a potato in his hand as if it were peeled, but his mind wasn't there at all.

When I heard the footsteps outside, I immediately subconsciously said, "Mr. Devereaux, I'll be done soon, go to bed...”

When he said half his head looked up and saw the person who came in, he was relieved and a little angry, "What took you so long? Do you know how many times I've been asked why I haven't gone to bed? If I keep doing this, I'm going to be suspected. ”

“Find an excuse to explain why you don't sleep and drag this thing all the way out when everyone's awake, which behavior do you think is more dangerous?” Zhang Heng asked.

Marvin snorted and smiled. “I'm not complaining about you. I just thought maybe we had a safer way...”

Zhang Heng interrupted him and said, "The sooner we solve this problem, the sooner we get out of danger, whether it's me or you, so if you really care about your safety, we should do it now. ”

Marvin finally didn't say anything this time and lifted the barrel with Zhang Heng.

The two walked out of the kitchen through the hallway and storage room outside to the sailor's barn door.

Marvin took a deep breath and was about to move, but was pulled by Zhang Heng. Then he saw a pirate rubbing his eyes and climbing out of the hammock. The latter probably drank too much rum at dinner. He slept half of it and was suffocated by a urine. He left the sailor's warehouse in a hurry. After a while, he came back with his pants dangling and fell on his bed.

Another minute later, Zhang Heng nodded to Marvin. The two continued to lift the barrel. The farmer's son felt his heart was about to burst out of his voice. He did not know how to move one step to the stairs, which was as long as a century.

The flip of any pirate nearby or the slightest murmur of his dreams frightened him.

Until we walked out of the sailor's vault, up to the top floor, Marvin's nervousness was slightly reduced, and he lowered his voice, “What do we do, go to the deck? ”

“No, there's patrols there, there's people at the helm, and it's hard not to be spotted if you go up there.” Zhang Hengdao, "the room on this floor was originally prepared for passengers. The window was large enough to send the body out. How was the matter I asked you to look into before? ”

“Well, our original room is now occupied by the Pioneer team," Marvin said, "but there are two other rooms that are now empty due to too much damage. The main boat is not equipped with enough wood to affect navigation. ”

“Good, then lead the way. ”

The two took a short break for half a minute, Marvin stood in front of Zhang Heng, carrying that barrel outside the second room at the end of the corridor, Marvin looked at Zhang Heng beside him, reached out his hand, knocked gently on the door, and there was no movement inside.

The son of the farmer then dared to push the door open and the house was empty. During the previous fighting, unfortunately, the house had been hit with four shells and almost all the walls on the side had disappeared, although far from the water line it was now simply nailed to several boards and the wind was still leaking.

Marvin put the barrel down and shut the door the first time, hurrying, "Now that we're in the place, let's throw the body off the boat! ”

Zhang Hengzheng stood in front of the broken wall, looked down, and then shook his head. "No, there is hardly any wind wave tonight, and the landing point is too high, and the sound of the body falling into the water may be heard by the people on the deck. ”

“What should we do?” Marvin heard the colour change, “We can't wait any longer, this is the last night, if we can't get rid of the body...”

“I didn't say no,” Zhang Heng frowned, "dragging it down didn't do me any good. Go find a cable, wrap it around the body, just put it down slowly and you'll be fine. ”

“That's a good idea,” Marvin said immediately, rejoicing, "or thoughtful. Travelers are different. I'm going to find the cable. ”

As he said, he pulled the door open again, but the smile on his face completely solidified.

The farmer's son's eyes were filled with horror because he feared uncontrolled tremors throughout his body.

“I'm sorry, am I interrupting your date?” The uninterrupted guest outside the door said, "Yoo-hoo.

It was an old pirate with a beard on his chin, with a rotten grey hat on his head and a bite of rotten teeth when he smiled.

His eyes fell on the barrel behind Marvin, raising his eyebrows, "So poor Vic has been there all these days? ”

Zhang Heng made his judgment in the shortest possible time, pulling out the short pistol in his waist at the fastest speed, pointing to the old pirate, but the latter's divine color remained the same.

“Believe me, son, I was pointed at more salt than you ever ate, let me tell you what happened next, you pulled the trigger, I was beaten to death, well, I have no doubt about that, but then the gunfire woke up the Pioneer team next door, and you were either chopped to death in resistance, or you were caught and executed, and I don't know which situation is worse, considering your age and my age, isn't it a bit cheap to buy or sell? ”

Zhang Hengyuan was silent for a moment. He had realized that it was no accident that the old pirates would show up here tonight. The other party was probably after them a long time ago, but he waited until this time to stall the cards.

On the bright side, however, the old pirate did not seem to have any intention of giving justice to the bald head in the barrel, otherwise he would not be the only one standing outside the door now.

Zhang Heng decided to listen to each other first.
