48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng has also had a few days off in recent times.

Perhaps the story of the Buddhist Garden has been told before. When other people on the island go to the trouble of the crew of the Cold Crow, they have to make sure that they are not able to withstand the monetary offense of a captain. Therefore, those who are jealous of the wind and fight are much less frequent.

Zhang Heng doesn't have to take any more time to deal with these messy problems. Most of the extra time he spends each day practicing knives against Annie, in addition to that, he will also tidy up the vegetable garden he built up.

It must be admitted that the tropical climate has its natural advantages in planting, and the tomatoes, carrots and cabbage seeds that he sprinkled before were not very manageable, even if they often went out for a month or two, but when he came back he could still see a lot of them thriving and still have direct harvests.

But as opposed to fighting, the red-haired girl lacked interest in this kind of thing, often just paralyzed on a chair outside the door, and watched Zhang Heng do it in the vegetable garden.

What happened that night was like a little rock, falling into the lake, shaking a circle of ripples, but it soon returned to calm.

After dawn, the two returned to their previous lives. Annie's attitude towards Zhang Heng did not seem to have changed much. There was no feeling that ordinary little girls were immersed in passion.

Since then, however, she has often had to find Zhang Hengxin, if that is a way of expressing her love.

…………

Soon after five days, Zhang Heng arrived at Terence Estate as agreed.

He was with Annie and Billy, although this dinner shouldn't be too dangerous, but as captain of the Cold Raven, it would be a bit ugly if only one bareback commander went to the party.

Malcolm hosted the banquet not in Nassau City, but closer to the heart of the island, a plantation in his name and where he usually lived.

Unlike the rudimentary wooden huts on the north shore, the main buildings in the estate are built in stone, in the most popular Baroque style in Europe today. Apart from the fact that there are no suitable stones on New Providence Island, which can only be transported from elsewhere, each rock is expensive, Malcolm has deliberately hired two famous designers from Italy to complete the construction of the estate, and tonight is the first time it has lifted its mysterious veil on outsiders.

“Looks like that guy's made a lot of money all these years.” Annie stared at the statue of Apollo and Daphne in front of the door.

“That's why he's setting the dinner here tonight, telling everyone who comes here that they can make money by working with him.” Zhang Hengdun can guess some Malcolm's thoughts.

“It would now appear that his purpose has been achieved.” Billy sighed, turning his head to the neighborhood, and over the course of this time a number of people had come, most of them surprised to see the sculptured statue.

Outside the door, a man dressed like a housekeeper examined an invitation in Heng's hand and nodded at the three of them, "Welcome to Terrence Estate and wish the three VIPs a pleasant dinner tonight. ”

After he shook the bell in his hand, three black waitresses immediately walked over and looked like he was only sixteen or seven years old, one of them slightly shorter walked up to Annie and said in some lame English, "Hi, I'm Daisy, I'll entertain you tonight and I'll do everything I can to meet all your needs. ”

And the red-haired girl picked out her eyebrows, "I don't need it, I don't like being around. ”

The black maid in front of her revealed an embarrassing smile on her face, but that smile had become a bit obsessive.

The housekeeper on the side noticed the situation here and walked over after checking the invitation letter of another guest and arranging a waitress reception. He looked at Daisy, who was helpless in front of her, polite, “A few dignitaries, what happened, is not satisfied with Daisy? I can replace you with a new maid right away. ”

Annie was about to say something, but Zhang Heng first said, “Nothing, we just wanted to ask Daisy to show us around the estate. ”

The housekeeper laughed, “I'm sure you'll love it here, but it's huge, it's hard to get around for a moment and a half, and tonight's feature show is about to start. You'd better go to the banquet hall first, after dinner there will be free time, if you like, you can stay here and tell the maids around you. ”

Zhang Heng nodded and thanked him, then took a step toward the brilliant building not far away.

Annie wasn't stupid. Zhang Heng interrupted her and immediately thought of something. She left the door and asked the black waitress next door, "If I refused, what would happen to you, would they punish you? ”

The latter was silent, and Annie reached out and pulled Daisy's clothes apart. She did see a lot of whiplashes on her back, and then the grumpy teenager tried to pull out the dagger between her waists.

Billy on one side hurriedly stopped, “Don't mess around, although I don't like it either, but they are sold here, which is the equivalent of goods. Theoretically, no matter what Malcolm wants to do to them, they can't be blamed by anyone else, and it's not good for her if you come forward for her. We're just guests, and they're leaving after tonight, but they're going to live here. ”

When Daisy heard Billy's words, there was a glimmer of gratitude on her face, and Annie cut it, some unwilling to retract the dagger.

The three of them soon arrived in front of the banquet hall, walking in front of Daisy and pushing the door open.

If the buildings outside are still luxurious, the decorations can be described in golden splendor, with a large chandelier in the center of the round roof with over a hundred candles to illuminate the entire lobby like daylight, embroidered walls and ribbons, and soft Persian carpets underneath.

“This feeling of prolonged disobedience is like being back in England.” A landlord who came in behind the three couldn't help but feel emotional.

At this time, a lot of people have arrived in the ballroom, but it is obvious that there are two factions. Most of the businessmen are quite admirable. Although they praise the decoration and engraving of the house, they just stand by quietly and admire it, and the pirates don't care that much. There are a lot of things that they see as valuable to touch directly. They also estimate the price of this thing in their hearts, thinking about how much they can sell if they walk away.
