48 Hours a Day

Chapter 160: Glad You Stay

The clash ended with the sailors of the Hunter not blackmailing a single copper peso.

In order to express gratitude, Zhang Heng invited the customers in the courtyard who regretted not being able to earn a reward to drink a complimentary drink, which was unanimously well received.

And after he had just settled the matter, he was pulled to the arms dealer by an interrogated munitions officer, who had heard about the 24-pound shell he had asked for, Difresner came to discuss with him the number of initial purchases and, incidentally, the recruitment of new cooks.

Until the sunset, Zhang Heng returned to his residence.

He pushed the door open, but there was no sign of the red-haired girl in the house.

Zhang Heng came to the latter bedroom and found that there was no one there.

After the shelling of Charleston, the farmer's son disappeared with Queen Anne's Revenge. No one knew where they had gone, and now Anne has moved, leaving him alone in the house.

Zhang Heng suddenly felt a little empty here, like something was missing.

At this time in the past, he would hear a red-haired girl yelling downstairs, starving to death, why didn't she eat, and now she won't make that noise again.

Zhang Heng discovered that he seemed to have become accustomed to all of this unconsciously.

Getting used to the big guy beside him, getting used to her looking around for fights and then going home on time, getting used to hearing her complain about how women are discriminated against on the island All pirates are blind... so he didn't really think seriously about the fact that one day they would leave.

Until Annie started looking for the house as planned and stepped closer to her dreams, but at the same time she seemed to lose her reason to live here again. The two people talked about the new house in the morning. The red-haired girl was excited to say how to do whatever she wanted inside. Zhang Heng was also sincerely happy for her, but they both deliberately avoided the topic of separation.

…………

At night, Zhang Heng ate dinner alone at the table, took out a journey taken from the boat and turned it over to bed for a while.

In the middle of the night, he was awakened by the sound of a familiar Soso. Zhang Heng opened his eyes vigilantly in the dark and held the military knife against the window. Now he is the only person left in the whole house, so the sound outside also means that there is an unexpected visitor.

Now that he has some potential enemies on the island, especially given the tensions between the Cold Crow and the Black Business Alliance, both sides have not completely torn their faces off, and now it is time for Malcolm not to use such low-level means, but Zhang Heng will not rely on his opponents' reason.

In order to avoid being the target of a firearm, he did not turn on the oil light at the first time, but lay in front of the wooden door, listened to footsteps and went upstairs, stopped in the corridor, waited until the other party's most relaxed moments, Zhang Heng's body also moved.

The bedroom door suddenly pushed open, Zhang Heng jumped out the back, but the dark shadow in the hallway also reacted quickly, feeling the knife coming from the face not backwards, lifting his fist and smashing towards Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng did not expect the other party to be so fierce. The unsuccessful customer clearly shot after him, but that fist was faster than his army knife. Thus, long before he cut the other party's fist, the latter would hit him in the jaw step by step, so Zhang Heng could only change his strategy, and the knife first blocked the punch.

Later, the two men had a fierce close physical beating in the dark, but soon after the confrontation, Zhang Heng developed a familiar feeling. He and the red-haired girl had practiced many times before, and were familiar with each other's moves. So Zhang Heng could be sure that Annie had recognized him, but the girl didn't mean to stop, but the more excited she got.

Zhang Heng, however, hesitated slightly and took two punches in the chest. He had to regain his spirits and try to cope with Annie's tidal onslaught. The battle ended a moment later when the red-haired girl mounted him and pressed him to death on the floor.

Zhang Heng did not expect that the battle had even upgraded his knife skills to lv2. When he received the system prompt, his divine color was a little silent, while Annie on the other side was gasping for air and the tide on her face had not yet faded.

“You lost. ”

“ ………… ”

“Why don't you talk? ”

“Did you sneak back in the middle of the night to fight me? ”

“Of course not.” Annie unwrapped Heng's arm, moved her ass, and came down from the latter, "I came back to tell you that I didn't want that house before. ”

“Hmm?” Zhang Heng heard something unexpected, “Is this okay? Isn't that what you've always dreamed of? ”

“I also thought it was my dream," Annie leaned against the wall on the side of the corridor, "when I was a kid, the house and food at home were provided by my father, my mom kept looking at his face life, and I wanted to have my own place in the future, so I could live freely, which is also the goal I set for myself when I went to the island, and accomplishing this goal meant I could live independently here. ”

“What you've done in this day and age is remarkable.” Zhang Hengdao, even the status of native European women was very low at this time, not to mention Nassau, where the pirates gathered, although with his help, Annie was able to stand in it is a very powerful thing in any case.

“But I don't want to leave here.” Redhead Girl, “I bought the house to live a free life, but if I had the house and I couldn't choose the life I wanted, it wouldn't be free at all, would it? I mean, it's nice to have a house where you can keep your feet on the table and not have to finish the soup, but I don't want to be tied to something like that, and true freedom has nothing to do with this, but the right to choose what kind of life you want to live. ”

Annie finishes, pushes someone back to the ground, takes off her shirt and rides on the latter.

“I like you, I don't care if you like me or someone else, and I don't care when you leave. Perhaps this love will disappear one day, and I will reserve the right to leave you. ”

The red-haired girl's voice fell, and in the darkness there was something burning in her eyes.

After a moment of hesitation, the palms finally climbed onto her body, gently touching the big and small scars on her skin.

“Is it ugly?” Anisa was mute and nervous.

“No, they're beautiful.” Zhang Hengtong tried to say, but don't rush forward so much in the future, but thinking of Annie's character, it's useless for Eight Achievements to say such words themselves, eventually it's just a way.

“Glad you could stay. ”
