Salazar is good or bad, who wins or loses between the pirates and the pirate anti-smuggling captain, and it has nothing to do with Wang Xu.

After getting the Fountain of Youth, the world of Pirates of the Caribbean has been squeezed out of all the benefits, and Wang Xu will only help Jack fight Salazar when he is full, which is completely thankless, and the pay is not proportional to the gain.

After blasting away Jack and Will, Wang Xu gathered his robot army and used the shuttle door to return to the modern era.

Three days later, he returned to the Pirates of the Caribbean world, by which time the artillery battle had long since ended, and it was still unknown who would win or lose.

Wang Xu didn't go to find out the news of Jack and Blackbeard, but just took the time to go to the countryside of London, intending to complete his agreement with Zaquero.

"Knock knock... Is anyone there? According to the address given by Zacquero, Wang Xu found his home in the countryside near London.

"Who?"

The door opened, and a sturdy middle-aged woman appeared in front of Wang Xu.

This is a typical English country woman, with large shoulders and a round waist, a headscarf around her head, as strong as a man, and a pile of washed clothes in her hands.

"Is this Zacquero's home, I brought his greetings." While the woman was looking at him, Wang Xu was also looking at the surrounding environment.

This is a small country town, England in the Age of Discovery, far less developed than later generations, and most of the people who live here are very poor.

As far as the eye can see, there are many children playing on the street, and occasionally women and old people passing by. On the contrary, adult males are rare here, because everyone either goes to work as sailors or in Chengli, and only ruffians will stay at home and eat and wait for death.

"Come in, sir, I haven't heard from Zacrow for a long time, I'll go pour you a cup of tea, you can speak slowly." The woman opened the door and invited Wang Xu to come in.

As soon as Wang Xu was about to lift his feet in, he found a puppy around his lap, tearing his trouser leg.

Bending down slightly, Wang Xu picked up the puppy and walked into Zacrow's house.

Zacquero's home was not wealthy, and there were very few furnishings in it, only two pairs of blue and white porcelain plates, and it was not known where they got it.

Zacquero's wife Isabella, took a tea jar to make tea for Wang Xu, in this era when the Great Voyage had just begun, tea from China belonged to luxury jewelry, and it was a very grand etiquette to use tea to entertain guests.

As for coffee and cocoa, it was not yet popular in Europe during this period, and tea drinking was the mainstream today.

"Can you give me the puppy?" As soon as Wang Xu sat down in a chair, a little boy ran out of the room.

Wang Xu looked back inside, there were still three small heads crowded in the crack of the door, plus the boy who came to ask for a puppy, there were at least four children in this family.

"What's your name?" Wang Xu handed the puppy up and rubbed the little boy's head on the right.

The little boy was not afraid of strangers, and while holding the puppy to his younger siblings, he replied, "My name is Ferle Zacquero." ”

"Fairer, go back to your room, and don't let me repeat it a second time. Isabella stepped out of the kitchen with a teacup in her hand and reprimanded the little boy.

The little boy reluctantly walked away with the puppy in his arms, and together with his three younger siblings, he hid behind the door and quietly looked at Wang Xu.

Isabella put the teacup on the small table, and with an apologetic face, she said, "I'm sorry that the tea at home has been sitting for a long time, and there are no refreshments to entertain you." ”

"It's okay, it's already good." Wang Xu didn't go to drink tea, but organized his language and said softly: "Madam, I regret to inform you of the fact that your husband, Mr. Zacrow, was unfortunately killed. ”

"Sir, do you want to add sugar? It occurred to me that there was still some sugar in the cabinet, and sugar could dilute the bitterness of the tea leaves. Isabella didn't seem to hear Wang Xu's words, or she heard it but didn't want to believe it, and staggered towards the kitchen.

Wang Xu watched Isabella go away, sat in the chair and said nothing.

After a few moments, he heard crying from the kitchen, and the old man's whisper: "Why are you crying, Isabella?" ”

"Mother, I'm fine, the man brought news from Zacro, saying that Zacro he... Whining! ”

Wang Xu walked to the kitchen door and looked inside, in addition to the kitchen utensils, there was also a bed in the kitchen, on which sat an old woman with gray hair and blind eyes.

The old woman, perhaps out of sight, struggled to get up from the bed and groped her way towards Isabella.

Isabella just cried and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

The old woman asked a few questions beside her, and she lowered her head and cried, and whispered: "It is the fate of sailors to die in the sea, and Zacrow is a sailor, and I have known that there will be such a day." ”

"Mother, Zacrow is gone, what should we do as a family of five?" Erabetha couldn't stop crying, she still had four children to feed, and an old mother who was blind in both eyes, what a burden to live for, enough to crush a person.

In the past, when Zacrow was still around, he could still mail some money back every year, but life was a little more difficult but he could always maintain.

Now that Zacrow is gone, what to do in the days ahead.

"I used to tell him that sailors were not so good, and he always told me that I would go home in two more years, and then we would be able to buy a farm, but now—" Isabella covered her face and wept, and could not speak at the end of the day.

In the Age of Discovery, sailors were the most popular professions.

Many people have become sailors and have bought their own farms in just a few years and lived a prosperous life.

Of course, there are more people who die at sea than those who succeed.

The sea is always so ruthless and unpredictable, some people get rich and some people die, and the higher the return, the greater the risk.

"It's going to be fine, Fairle is eleven years old, and the shoemaker in town told me last time that Fairer could go and apprentice him, and that he would have eight copper coins a month for food and shelter. Although I can't see with my eyes, I can also help others sew and mend clothes, although the days are more difficult, it is important to pull the children up. The old woman whispered, but she couldn't dispel Isabella's grief.

The family has four children, the eldest is eleven years old, and the youngest is only four years old this year.

Most of the men in the town have gone to work as sailors, and there are not many jobs they can find, and it is very difficult to raise four children at this time.

"Mother, old Thomas has no children, and has been planning to adopt one, or we should send Miller over. Miller is only 4 years old this year, and with our current conditions, I am afraid that we will not be able to raise him. ”

"Wait, the days will be better, and before winter comes, if there is no way to send Miller away."

The sound of dialogue came intermittently, although it was flat, but it was the helplessness and compromise of a family.

The Fairle brothers, who didn't know their fate, plucked up the courage to walk to Wang Xu's side and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, are you colleagues with my father?" ”

"No, I'm his boss." Wang Xu shook his head slightly, looked at Fair's puzzled gaze, and added: "I am a captain, your father works on my ship, and he is my second mate." ”

"Second mate, has my father become the second mate?" Fairer looked pleasantly surprised, unaware of the news that Zacrow had died.

Wang Xu hesitated for a moment, did not tell the truth, but replied kindly: "He is a great sailor, he loves you very much, and he thinks of you in the end." ”

After saying this, Wang Xu glanced at the kitchen and got up and left silently.

Fairer just wanted to call his mother, but when he lowered his head, he found eight gold coins on the table, and said excitedly: "Mom, you see, Uncle Captain left eight gold coins, they are so beautiful!" ”
