Chapter 119: Black Sails (24)

The Sea Lion returned to Nassau a month later, not only due to a lack of personnel, a shortage of supplies, but also because of the mast damage in a subsequent battle, the ship's speed was greatly reduced, and it had to return to port for repairs.

Orff had not intended to let everyone get off the ship, but as soon as the order came out, the whole ship exploded, and the men who had been holding back on the sea for three months were to stay on the ship when they saw the land, which was like locking up a cage of teddies and hoping that they would be innocent.

In the end, Orff had to make a concession and revoke the lockdown, only telling everyone to keep the treasure secret.

The results were also very encouraging, and within an hour of the first pirates coming ashore, news spread throughout the island that the Sea Lion was preparing to search for Kidd's treasure.

Today, this matter is being discussed in every corner of the streets.

However, this is not entirely a bad thing, at least after that, the recruitment process of the Sea Lion has become extraordinarily smooth, and generally speaking, if a pirate group loses more than four dozen people in a short period of time, then when it comes to recruiting, those who are going to join will have to weigh whether their lives are enough to be hard.

However, this time was obviously the exception, the Sea Lion recruitment scene was unprecedentedly hot, some small pirate groups with a small number of people even wanted to raise a group to join the group, and the applicants surrounded the beach with water, and Owen had to transfer ten more people from the ship to maintain order.

When Anne heard the news, she also ran out of the room in a hurry, and complained that Zhang Heng and Marven didn't tell her and were not righteous enough, so she went out in high spirits, but in the evening, she came back with her head drooped again.

She still didn't even pass the registration level because of old reasons, let alone the assessment later, and there was a conflict with people when she was queuing, this girl was also fierce, and there were obviously four people on the opposite side, she didn't retreat, she just raised her fist and fought with those guys, and finally two people were beaten to the ground by her, and two were probably scared, helping their injured companions to retreat.

Zhang Heng opened the door and saw Anne standing outside with swollen cheeks and purple arms and couldn't help but be a little speechless, but he could feel that the red-haired girl's mood tonight was obviously different from before, and he didn't say anything serious, just said, "The meal is ready, let's eat together." ”

The latter sat listlessly at the dining table with his head down, no longer having the good appetite he had in the past, and picked up a potato from the plate, but held it in his hand, but did not eat it for a long time.

Then she suddenly burst out of nowhere, "Why don't I marry you?" ”

Malven, who was drinking soup, almost didn't poke the spoon into his esophagus when he heard this.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not discouraged by reality, and I don't want to be a little family woman, I just feel a little unhappy that you have been eating and drinking for nothing for so long." The red-haired girl grabbed her hair and said depressedly, "I thought I would make money quickly with my skills, but now it seems that I am a little too optimistic. ”

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but blush, before she and Zhang Heng agreed to share half of the spoils of the first time she went to sea to the latter, but she only grabbed a pot and came back from the first time she went to sea, she was really a little bit out of her hand, and it was technically difficult to divide half, in fact, after she fell out with the Golden Swallow, she entered a state of unemployment, and gloriously became a rice worm that ate white food.

During the day, I go out to hang around, look for fights, and come back to eat obediently when I get to dinner, and my life is regular.

And she doesn't know anything except fighting, including housework and cooking, every time Zhang Heng and Marven go to sea, they have to prepare food and emergency change, and when they come back, they can't help but suspect that the family has suffered a hurricane, Zhang Heng has turned out someone's underwear under his bed more than once.

The red-haired girl is now dreaming of getting rich overnight, so she was so excited to hear the news of Kidd's treasure, and felt that her chance to turn over was coming, but she didn't expect to be mended by the life of the dog's day.

Although Zhang Heng has always advocated letting the girl go home and be her eldest lady, on the other hand, after getting along for so long, she has to admit that the latter has indeed focused all the skill points in this life on combat, objectively speaking, the profession of pirate is really suitable for her, and it is not realistic for her to stay in one place with her character.

But the problem is that all of Nassau is searched, and there is no reliable pirate group that will accept women.

When Zhang Heng heard this, he asked the red-haired girl opposite, "Then what about after you marry me?" ”

The latter couldn't help but be deflated again, and muttered, "...... I don't know, but at least it's not for nothing. ”

Zhang Heng put down the knife and fork in his hand and said, "That's it, if you can control yourself and not make trouble, then I'll let you get on my boat." ”

"Your ship?" Anne was stunned when she heard this, "Where did you get the ship, wait, aren't you going to stay on the Sea Lion?" ”

"Hmm." It was the first time for Zhang Heng to reveal his intention to form a pirate group in front of others, and the farmer's son on the other side couldn't help but open his mouth wide, but he immediately thought of something, and suddenly said, "Are you planning to go it alone after getting the Kidd Treasure?" With this money, we can pull up a team, but at that time we all have money, why are we still pirates? ”

However, Zhang Heng's words after that made Marven stay there completely.

"I'm not going to wait until I find the treasure before leaving, I asked Owen before, newcomers like us who have taken refuge from captivity are free to stay as long as they have been on the ship for a year, so once the deadline is reached, I will apply to disembark."

"And what if we don't get our hands on Kidd's treasure by then? You know that there are two copies of the treasure map that are out there. "Didn't you see the scene on the beach this afternoon, and now the whole Nassau pirate is thinking about how to squeeze their heads together to get a bite of the cake on the Sea Lion, and you tell me that you intend to give up disembarking at this juncture?" ”

Anne also nodded at this time, "Although I really want to go to sea, I am not in a hurry, anyway, I have survived such a long time, and it doesn't matter if I wait a few more months." ”

Zhang Heng was silent, his plan to get off the ship had nothing to do with Kidd's treasure, it was just due to his keen sense of danger, during this time he could detect some subtle changes in Orff's attitude towards him, the two had little intersection except for the first meeting, and before that, Orff hadn't paid much attention to him, but I don't know why recently, Zhang Heng always had a feeling of being stared at on the ship, including the previous battles, it seemed that there were always a pair of eyes watching him silently behind his back.

There aren't many people who can do this kind of thing, and Orff is one of them.
