48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng and Annie have already led a search of the small half of the island, but have not found Harry's whereabouts.

“How come I didn't know that guy could run like that before?” Annie was somewhat surprised by this outcome, and the farther from the beach, the less likely she is to find someone, because no one would run this far.

“Looks like he's probably really lost.” Ordnance officer Difresner joined the search team on his own initiative after hearing what had happened, and now the crowd was about two metres apart, shouting Harry's name as he walked, but nothing had been gained.

That's when a sailor on the left side of the team found something.

Zhang Heng and others walked over and saw a barrel and two bottles.

“Is this from the observation point? ”

Zhang Heng opened the barrel lid with a military knife and looked, "To monitor the movement of that Spanish treasure ship, three observation points were set up on the island, but none of them, as far as I know, were in this area. ”

“That's what Bauer's men left in the afternoon hunting. ”

This time it was Diffrena, “Bauer's hunting was on the west side of the island, and the wild goats were there, and they wouldn't bring the buckets directly.” The eyes of the crowd gathered, and the munitions officers shrugged, "which I asked exclusively with their men at night, and I wanted to bake some sheep on board when I left, if possible. ”

“So it looks like these things were left behind by the people who went to the island before.” Annie said.

Although uninhabited, Parrot Island is, after all, an island recorded on a nautical chart, so it makes no sense to have traces of human activity on it.

Zhang Heng couldn't put it aside. He put some water in his mouth with his little thumb. "The fresh water here is very clean and still drinkable, not long ago.” After that, he squatted down again and checked the two bottles.

“Are you saying there are other people on the island besides us? ”

“It's impossible.” Divrena asserted, "We did a thorough search on the island, and there was no one here but us. ”

“How do you explain this barrel of fresh water? ”

“Perhaps someone left just before we went on the island…" Diffrena said halfway through, because if that were the case, it would have been possible to find these things in the course of a full search.

“It's our people.” Zhang Hengdao, he handed one of the bottles to the red-haired girl.

“The rum we drink is typically produced by a distillery in North Carolina and transported to Nassau for sale. Their bottles are very special. Although the distillery's wines are sold elsewhere in the colony, there is little chance of encountering them here. ”

“Wait, why are our people here?” The red-haired girl doesn't understand, "is that Captain Sam's arrangement? ”

“It is unlikely that the location here is not very good, most importantly not on the route of that Spanish treasure ship, where the establishment of observation points is completely wasted and, most importantly, if he does it unjustifiably and without telling anyone else. ”

Zhang Hengton said, “Everyone better be careful, what may have happened on the island. ”

His voice had just fallen and a footsteps had been heard in the bushes in the distance. Zhang Heng pulled out a short pistol in his waist the first time, and Annie had also pulled out her own military knife.

After a moment, a man fell and crashed out of the back of the tree, almost at the same time, the red-haired girl rushed past, but the military knife in her hand drew an arc and stopped in the middle of the sky.

“Harry? ”

“Boss Annie!” The latter appeared incredibly lukewarm and wet, as if it had just been fished out of the water, and crippled, with one hand covering the wound on his arm, but after seeing Zhang Heng et al., he looked excited and shouted, "I have something important to tell you!!! ”

“Something important? Why don't you start by telling me how to make yourself this way.” Redhead Girl's Way.

“It's really a 100,000 emergency!” Harry hastily said, "We've actually been betrayed, and Jarvis and his heart have accepted an amnesty. They were no longer pirates a few months ago, and the reason they stayed in Nassau is because he made an agreement with the new Governor of Charleston to help the latter catch Nassau's famous pirates! ”

“Jarvis, powder Jarvis?” Divrena frowned, "Are you sure you want to press charges against him? He's an old pirate on the island, way ahead of Blackbeard. ”

Harry nodded, “This is what I heard myself, I was lazy... Oh no, I ran here when I had a tummy, there was a cliff just a short distance away, Jarvis' people hid a boat underneath, I saw the boat leaving there with my own eyes, I wanted to see if I could see the people up there clearly, but then someone pushed me behind me, and I fell off. ”

Harry said there was still some uncertainty, “The cliff was full of reefs, but I was lucky enough to fall into the crevices of two reefs, not much hurt, but then I dared not go ashore and swim behind a reef to hide.

“The people who pushed me down also came down after a while, they searched the place again, didn't find me, presumably thought I was dead, relaxed their guard, and they happened to be standing right next to the reef where I was hiding, and I heard them talking.

“One of them said he thought he was going to stay in Nassau for a while, but this time he saved time, and now almost all of Nassau's most famous pirates are on this island, so he can finish the job ahead of time just by knocking us out of the net. I have heard that the new Governor of Charleston will not only pardon them for all their previous crimes, but will also pay them £20 each in severance pay, which they have planned for a long time and have given us this information before leaving the port. ”

Harry was anxious, and he was getting faster and faster, "Right behind us is a fleet of navy and pirate hunters who have been following us quietly, and that little boat was there to get in touch with them, and this dinner was actually Jarvis' idea, to give that fleet a chance to start. ”

Zhang Hengxin moved and thought about what he had mentioned before. He was being targeted by a group of unidentified people during a loot. Brooke thought he was a pirate elsewhere, but now it seems that the group is probably a pirate hunter working with Jarvis.
