48 Hours a Day

“Can you imagine, ten to seven, I went up to the opposite deck and cut two, and I turned around and I saw that three of my companions were being beaten, and six of them had gone back to the boat.” Annie's furious rush, "and it's not the first time this has happened, okay? I'm going crazy. Besides, our boat, the Golden Swallow, sounds scary, but it's actually a fishing boat! We're all going down to the sea to feed the fish! Every time he leaves the harbor, he dares not run too far. The captain is a coward. He sees a bigger merchant ship and runs faster than anyone else. I don't know. I thought we were the ones who got robbed! ”

Zhang Hengwen didn't know what to say. Nassau has many pirates, but the vast majority of them are small-time noisy. A dozen people dare to go out to sea if they find a boat. When robbing, they raise the black flag. If the other party is afraid to surrender, they can return full. On the contrary, they really need to hit them and skip faster than anyone else.

Technically, they're not even pirates, they're just speculators using black flags to deter them.

“I envy you. There are more than 30 guns on the Sea Lion. There's another great captain. I hear that every time you go out to sea to find fat sheep who can't eat, you dare to fight the warships. This is the pirate. I've always wanted to live like this. Damn, I wish I were a man. Fat people can mix up on ships. I can't make sense! ”

The more Annie tried to get angry, slapping her on the chair beside her, not only was the wound on her arm shaken off, but the clothes covered on her slipped off, but she didn't care. Instead, she looked at someone with anticipation, "Hey, didn't Fatty say you had a lot of friends on the Sea Lion? Would you introduce me? ”

Zhang Heng picked up the clothes on the floor and threw them in the chest of the red-haired girl. “How many times have I told you, the Sea Lion doesn't charge a woman, it's useless for anyone to say, and don't undress at home. Since you are staying with me, you have to follow my rules. ”

“What are you afraid of, why can't a man naked and a woman?!” Annie was dissatisfied that the poor red-haired girl had become a feminist because she was sexist in the workplace.

“What are you talking about?” Marvin walked in with a bowl of crushed herbs.

“We're talking about the island as if every man can find a job he fucking likes, and women either do their chores at home with their kids, or they just seem to have to go to a buffalo and lie down and make money.” Annie mumbled, then she said, “Otherwise, the three groups of pirates will do it themselves. In the fight, I can fight with one enemy, Zhang Heng should also fight two, and Fatty, well, Fatty should also be able to fight one and a half, so that the three of us together are better than the trash on the Golden Swallow. ”

“Half the enemy, is there any such algorithm?” Marvin was stunned when he heard.

“It's a better option than going home right now, even if you don't like your father, isn't your mother still worried about you?” Zhang Hengton went down the road, "I can provide you with the fare back if you need it. ”

“Impossible! Impossible!” Annie Lian shook her head, "I swore before I escaped that I would never go back unless I was richer than that man. Besides, only a pirate's life of freedom is best suited to me. It's something that flows in the bones, it can't be changed. I like this island, I like this place, every breath here is free! ”

…………

Zhang Heng just thought the child was hopeless.

When someone knocked on the door downstairs, the farmer's son left the herb on Annie's desk, then went downstairs with Zhang Heng and opened the door before realizing that it was their old acquaintance standing outside.

- Goodwin, an old man of recognized enthusiasm on the Sea Lion.

The latter entered the door and looked at it curiously. He praised, "This place is nice. It's a little far from town, but it's quiet. It looks like you've settled down, too. What do you think? Is there any difficulty encountered? Are you still used to life on the island? ”

Zhang Heng and Marvin let people in, then the latter went to burn some water and flushed tea.

The three of them sat idle for a while and Goodwin finally got to the point.

Black gunner looks at Zhang Heng, grinning, “Roscoe is retired and intends to go back to England to see his daughter, you must know about this, but then the long position of the sail cable on the Sea Lion becomes empty. What do you think, are you interested? ”

“Me?” Zhang Heng had some accidents. In the past four months, Roscoe had not hidden himself to teach him all his skills, but this kind of thing was not an instant. A lot of things clearly did not mean that it could be done. In the middle of this, a lot of experience was accumulated. After the old man left, Zhang Heng was not the best sailor on the Sealion. In terms of the position of cable length, several old sailors under Roscoe were better suited than him.

“Give yourself a little confidence, we all trust you, you're the only student in Roscoe, and it's up to you to take his place when he leaves.” Goodwin encouraged, “Believe me, more than one person on the boat has this idea. ”

“Really?!” Marvin is probably the most excited person in the house, he is now holding Zhang Heng's thighs, naturally hoping that the higher the position of the latter on board the ship, the more important the sailing cables will be on any ship, which is undoubtedly equivalent to a leap, considering that the two people have only been aboard for more than seven months.

Zhang Heng heard the story, but couldn't let it go. He just sat there and waited quietly for the black gunner to write down, and then he continued, “It's time to change, I wonder what you think of our helmsman Olf? Many people on the boat felt that he was too weak in his dealings with the captain to defend the interests of the crew well, especially the newcomer, and did not receive enough attention. We rushed to the forefront in the battle and did the most work, but only received a small preference. The important positions on the boat were basically controlled by the elderly, and the newcomers had difficulty coming forward. ”

Goodwin said, “I'm not saying the old man didn't do well, our demands were simple, we just wanted a fairer environment, to increase the voice of new people on board. What do you think of that proposal? ”

Zhang Hengping calmly listened to the black gunner and then asked, "So whose head does this task fall on to speak for the newcomer? ”

Goodwin stood up and revealed his white teeth, "I'm a man with no ambition, but since everyone trusts me, I'm willing to do something for the big guy. ”
