The merchant ship was bombarded before, and the hull was damaged to a certain extent. Although it was not serious, it would definitely not work to leave it alone. The two carpenters quickly devoted themselves to their work.
After Owen left, Marvin finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and sighed, "It's so dangerous, it was really scary just now, I thought I would be crowded on that small boat, alone on the sea Die, but the good news now is that we all stayed, although we joined the pirates, but on the bright side, we can at least survive."
"At that time on the deck, you seemed very nervous when I spoke. Why, are you afraid that I will take your place?" Zhang Heng said.
"Ah?" Marvin forced a smile, "No, no, no, I'm afraid they will hurt you. These are all murderous guys. Speaking of which, you are brave. I dare not look at them when I talk to them s eyes… "
"I'm curious, Marvin, what would you do if I really planned to take your place, would you shake off what happened in the kitchen?"
Zhang Heng said lightly.
"How is it possible?" Marvin shook his head like a rattle, but his eyes kept avoiding, "You saved my life, and I will never betray you no matter what."
"That's the best, because I can assure you that if you expose this matter, you will not be able to escape."
Marvin smiled dryly, but it could be seen from his expression that he didn't believe this sentence.
"Do you know why I stabbed him three times in the back with a potato peeler when the guy was dead?"
"You...you!" Marvin finally changed his expression this time. He had never understood Zhang Heng's unnecessary actions, thinking it was just a simple act of venting his anger, but now he finally realized what the other party's purpose was.
"It's very difficult for one person to leave a wound on another person's chest and back at the same time, but it is easy to explain with help, you can tell your story, and I can tell mine , but in the end that body will prove which of our stories sounds more believable."
While the two were talking, there was another shout from outside, "Vic, Vic, where the hell did you die? If you don't come out, you won't have your share of the spoils."
A few pirates walked down the corridor cursing.
Zhang Heng got up, and patted Marvin, who was ashen-faced, "It's getting late, I'm going to get my musket, and you should cook, tonight, when everyone is asleep, let's do it together Throw the thing buried under the smoked fish into the ocean, and we'll both have nothing to worry about."
After solving the trouble of the farmer's son, Zhang Heng received a musket and a notched dagger from Dufresne, who was in charge of armaments and weapons on board, but he didn't have time to familiarize himself with his new weapon. First mission after pirates
— Sweep the deck.
Yes, the life of pirates is actually not much different from that of ordinary sailors when the black flag is not raised. In fact, many of them were sailors before, either because they could not bear the oppression of the captain, or because they wanted to Risking freedom, getting rich overnight... In short, various reasons made them finally choose to become pirates.
However, no one likes to stay in a dirty and terrible environment, even a sloppy pirate, it has nothing to do with cleanliness or not, just because there are too many deadly things on the sea.
Maintaining a good environment not only helps to stabilize the mood, but also can effectively reduce the risk of the sailors getting sick, so the pirates will also clean the deck regularly, especially after a big battle, there are corpses and blood everywhere, Zhang Heng and the other five It took me two full hours of work to make the blood on it fade a little.
Marvin also cooked dinner before sunset. I don't know how he did it, but the taste was surprisingly good. Zhang Heng knew that he had passed the most difficult stage and could stay on the boat.
Don't underestimate the value of a good cook.
Sometimes pirates go out to rob not only money, but also people. Life on the sea is boring, especially when there are full-blooded men on board. After a long time, it is easy to cause riots. An excellent chef can pass Delicious food relieved the mental stress of the sailors to a certain extent.
Hence the stipulation that cooks who do not fight most of the time receive their share of the spoils as the most dangerous gunners in battle, and no one disputes this.
The night came soon, and the captain and helmsman returned to the Sea Lion after the battle. They took away about two-thirds of the pirates, and the remaining third were under the command of the boatswain Owen. , the latter also became the temporary captain of the ship.
The pirates were in good spirits tonight. They had just experienced a battle. They suppressed their opponents from the beginning to the end. They took down the ship without bloodshed. The price they paid was only three deaths and five minor injuries. , which turned out to be enough for them to have a drink.
Someone played the Irish organ, and during this period, some pirates mentioned Vic's name, and most people believed that he had sneaked back to the Walrus.
Some people talked about the money that Vic owed to him before, and wondered if this guy had sneaked away, which made everyone laugh again.
Until Owen's figure appeared in the dining hall, he glanced at the pirates, and said, "The Sea Lion just received news, they are very sure that Vic is not on board, who is the last person to see him today? "
The pirates looked at each other when they heard the words. Generally, there are only two outcomes in a battle, either dead or alive. There has never been a situation where a large living person disappeared before.
"Is it possible that it fell into the water?" Someone speculated.
"Impossible, I checked before sailing, and there is no one who fell into the water nearby." Another pirate shook his head.
Then someone echoed, "Yes, I saw him rush into the cabin below the deck with my own eyes. He was the first group of people to go in. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him since then."
The pirates chattered about, but no one could explain why Vic disappeared.
Owen's eyes moved to the newly recruited people, but Marvin was still in the kitchen. He didn't see anything unusual on the faces of the remaining three people. They behaved differently from the pirates, basically sitting in the corner Li quietly ate his dinner, but considering that they were still on the side of being ransacked before, this behavior was quite normal.
So Owen turned his gaze back again, "Okay, who is responsible for counting the spoils in the afternoon, and I will go to the captain's room in five minutes."
