Chapter 332: Lies

On the merchant ship, after Captain Joy Ferry left, Baucia sighed, and the Clark she mentioned earlier, the guard who had just handed her the binoculars, then said: "Miss, your attitude is too weak, Joy Ferry is an old-fashioned seaman, he looks down on women, this is your ship, he is just a person you hired, if you whisper to him, he will despise you even more." ”

Baucia said helplessly: "Many sailors on the ship are his people, this is the first time I have run a boat, and my family's savings for so many years are on it, I just don't want disputes to affect this voyage." ”

On the other hand, no matter what Joey Fee's attitude is, at least as the captain, his command is qualified, and the arrangement of acquaintances is not cronyism, but because of mutual cooperation, at this time, he has already steered the huge merchant ship, and flexibly approached the dilapidated boat where William and the others were.

When they got closer, William, Arkin and Selkirk looked up and could see the neatly arranged firing ports on the side of the ship, and the metal barrels sticking out outward were like spikes on the body of a merchant ship.

"Doesn't it seem that the weapons of the Great Voyage are not very good?" said William, glancing at the barrel of the gun.

"There are good and bad, but there is a big difference. Ah Jin made a more objective evaluation.

At this time, several heads had already popped up from behind the guard of the merchant ship, and a man with a full beard shouted to William and the others: "Who are you, what has happened?"

"We are the crew of an ocean-going fishing boat, but we accidentally encountered a sea king that ran out of the windless belt, the fishing boat was wrecked, so the three of us ran out in a lifeboat, but there was nothing on our bodies, and there was no pointer to record the direction of the island, so we could only wait for the well-wishers here," William raised his dirty face and exclaimed, "Please save us!"

The bearded head that had been shouting before retracted again, and after a while, he shouted again: "Come up one by one, don't play tricks! See our cannons? That's not an ornament, if you are pirates, we will shoot your little broken ship away!"

Accompanied by the shouting of the beard, it was a rope ladder that was thrown down.

"We're not pirates, we're good citizens!" William replied confidently, and then climbed the rope ladder.

Selkirk, who was next to William, had a speechless expression, but fortunately he lowered his head, and the merchant ship crew above could not be seen.

William used both hands and feet, and quickly climbed to the top of the boat, but before he could stand on the deck, as soon as he showed his shoulders on the guard, he was directly dragged by several big men over the guard, and fell to the ground, several flintlock rifles pointed at his head, and several men with knives looked at him fiercely.

William held his head in his hands and squatted on the ground, with a frightened look on his face: "Are you pirates? We have nothing on board, and we are all ordinary fishermen, and we have no money at home!"

When William was pretending, he saw a familiar uniform through the gap between the surrounding strong men in various costumes, his eyes narrowed slightly, but immediately returned to their original state, and looked around in fear.

Arkin and Selkirk soon arrived on the ship, and were treated like William, crouching in a corner of the deck, surrounded by a few sailors with guns and watching them.

On the far side of the deck, the ship's owner, Baucia, under Clark's escort, surveyed the three crouching trio.

Of the three, one had dark skin, a thin face, prominent cheekbones, an ugly face, and black hair that looked like it hadn't been taken care of for a while.

The other was medium-sized, ordinary-looking, with black hair also knotted into strands because of dirtiness, and looked to be the oldest, about thirty years old.

The last man, the youngest of the three, wore a straw hat with several holes in it, golden hair exposed under the brim, and his face was covered with traces of sweat, sea salt, fish scales, blood and other mixed materials.

However, Baucia is not interested in carefully exploring the specific appearance of the person who rescued, she is not an infatuated resentful woman who hides in the boudoir and can only pass the time with love every day, she fantasizes about meeting Prince Charming all day long, she is an orphan girl of a businessman who ventures to run a boat to support her family's business, and she is more concerned about the true identity of William and the three.

A young woman in a navy uniform with a ponytail approached Baucia.

"How's it going, Kaslana?" asked Baucia in a low voice

The female navy named Kaslana glanced back at the three Williams who were honestly squatting: "None of them carry weapons, they are covered with fishy smell, and they are all sea king blood, not human blood, they should not be pirates, they are indeed fishermen as they say." ”

Baucia breathed a sigh of relief, she was actually afraid of encountering the traps of pirates, which would not only cause Joey Fello, who had already despised her, to have an excuse to attack, but also the crew would be killed or injured.

The armed men around William and the others quickly lowered their guns, and William caught a glimpse of the young woman who had been observing the three of them from a distance, under the protection of the female navy and escorts, and brought some bread and water.

"I'm sorry for a few people, but we are on the Great Voyage now, and we can only be careful in everything, I hope you can understand," Baucia stopped a few steps away from William and the others, and said, "There is some food here, but there is not much fresh water on the ship, so I am afraid I will not be able to let you wash your body." ”

"It's okay, just have food. ”

William said, stepped forward to take the bread and water, Baucia covered her nose slightly, and took a small step back, William didn't care, he was dressed like this, just hoping that the others would stay away.

"I don't know where you're going, we're going to the Chambord Islands, and if you don't stop by the next island, or when you meet other merchant ships along the way, you can drop us off. William said as he shoved the bread into his mouth, and several crumbs squirted out of his mouth as he spoke, fell onto the deck, and he picked them up and stuffed them into his mouth.

"We're also on our way to the Chambord Islands, so we can drop by and take you there. Baucia still said politely, but William's rude appearance and unpleasant smell on his body obviously made her lose her desire to communicate more.

"My name is Becker," continued William, as if he had not noticed Baucia's attitude, and then pointed to Arkins and Serkirk, "this is Garnis and Bedwell, I know a little seamanship, and the two of them can help at the helm, and you have saved us, and if you need help on board, just ask." ”

"My name is Bothea, and this is my family's merchant ship, and Captain Joey Fellow and his companions on board are experienced seamen, so you can rest assured. Baucia said politely, she was not stupid, it was impossible for her to leave such an important matter as the rudder and the direction of sailing to three strangers.

Baucia instructed the crew to take William and the others to the dining room, and asked the crew to arrange a place for them to rest, and then left, followed by the female marine.

When William and the three arrived at the restaurant, the merchant ship served them more sumptuous food, and after eating bread, the three of them looked much better.

While they were eating, the merchant sailor who accompanied them also hated the smell of their bodies and hid away.

Selkirk whispered at the dinner table, "What's the matter with that navy chick? Didn't the navy people say that they are all back to their headquarters for martial law?"

Ah Jin took a sip of water and said calmly: "In this sea area, the headquarters has not called her back, she should be a small character who is not in the stream, and the owner of this ship may have invited her to deter those little pirates, or to prevent any problems with the crew." ”

Selkirk looked at William, who had eaten up the food on his plate, and slowly pulled out a rough pipe and a small packet of shredded tobacco from his trouser pocket, lit it, and put it in his mouth.

William spat out a puff of smoke: "Don't worry, there are so many ships and so many people missing in the Magic Triangle every year, and it's not bad for these few." ”
