Zhang Heng and Anne had already led people to search the small half of the island, but they had not found Harry's whereabouts.

"Why didn't I find that guy so good at running before?" Anne was a little surprised by this result, and it stands to reason that the farther you are from the beach, the less likely you are to find someone, because most people don't run that far.

"Looks like he's probably really lost." Quartermaster DuFreina also volunteered to join the search team when he heard what had happened, and now there was a distance of about two meters between them, shouting Harry's name as they went, but nothing came of it.

Just then, a sailor on the left side of the line made a discovery.

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

"Was this left by someone from the observation point?"

Zhang Heng picked open the lid of the wooden barrel with his saber and looked at it, "In order to monitor the movement of the Spanish treasure ship, three observation points were set up on the island, but as far as I know, none of them are in this area. ”

"That's what Bauer's men left over in the afternoon when they were hunting."

This time it was Di Freina who spoke, "Bauer is hunting on the west side of the island, and the wild goats are there, and they don't bring buckets with them. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused, the quartermaster shrugged his shoulders, "This is what I have asked their people specifically for the evening, and if possible, I would like to roast a few sheep and bring them on board when I leave." ”

"Then it seems that these things are left by the people who went to the island before." Anne said.

Although Parrot Island is uninhabited, it is an island recorded on a nautical chart, so it is not unreasonable that there are traces of human activity on it.

Zhang Heng was noncommittal, dipped his little thumb in some water and put it in his mouth and sipped it, "The fresh water here is very clean and drinkable, not a long time ago." With that, he crouched down again and examined the two bottles.

"Do you mean that there are other people on the island besides us?"

"It can't be." "We did a full search when we got to the island, and there really wasn't anyone else here but us. ”

"How do you explain this bucket of fresh water?"

"Maybe someone just left before we got to the island......," Di Freina hesitated halfway through, because if that was the case, it should have been discovered during a full search.

"It's our people." Zhang Heng said, he handed one of the wine bottles to the red-haired girl.

"The rum we drank was generally made at a distillery in North Carolina and shipped to Nassau for sale, and their bottles were special, and although the wines from that distillery were sold elsewhere in the colony, there was a small chance of encountering them here."

"Wait, why are our people here?" The red-haired girl wondered, "Is it Captain Sam's arrangement?" ”

"It's unlikely, the location here is not very good, the main thing is that it is not on the route of the Spanish treasure ship, it is a complete waste to set up an observation point here, and the most important thing is that if he does it, it makes no sense not to tell others."

Zhang Heng paused, "Everyone had better be careful, what may happen to the island." ”

As soon as his words fell, there was a sound of footsteps in the bushes in the distance, Zhang Heng immediately pulled out the short musket on his waist, and Anne also drew her saber.

After a few moments, a figure stumbled out from behind the tree, and almost at the same moment the red-haired girl rushed over, but the saber in her hand arced and then stopped in mid-air.

"Harry?"

"Boss Annie!" The latter looked extremely embarrassed, soaking wet, as if he had just been fished out of the water, and was limping, covering the wound on his arm with one hand, but after seeing Zhang Heng and the others, he looked very excited and shouted, "I have something important to tell you!! ”

"Something important? Let's talk about how you made yourself like this. The red-haired girl said.

"It's really a 100,000 urgent thing!" Harry hurried, "We have actually been betrayed, Jarvis and his henchmen have accepted the pardon, they were no pirates a few months ago, and the reason why they are still in Nassau is because he made an agreement with the new governor of Charleston to help the latter capture Nassau's famous pirates!" ”

"Jarvis, gunpowder Jarvis?" DuFreina frowned, "Are you sure you want to charge him, he's a very senior pirate on the island, before Blackbeard came to the island." ”

Harry nodded, "This is what I heard with my own ears, I'm lazy...... Oh no, I ran here when I had diarrhea, and there was a cliff not far away, and Jarvis's people secretly hid a small boat underneath while everyone was not looking, and I saw the boat leave with my own eyes there, and I wanted to try to see if I could see the people above, but at that moment someone pushed me from behind, and I fell from above. ”

Harry was a little frightened, "The cliff was full of reefs, but I was lucky enough to fall into the gap between the two reefs and not hurt much, but then I didn't dare to go ashore and swam behind a reef to hide."

"After a while the men who pushed me down came down too, and they searched the place, and found me, probably thinking I was dead, and let their guard down, and they happened to be standing near the reef where I was hiding, and I heard their conversation.

"One of them said that he had thought he was going to stay in Nassau for a while, but this time it was easier, and now almost all of Nassau's most famous pirates were on this small island, and that if we were all gone, we would be able to complete the mission ahead of time. I heard from them that the new governor of Charleston would not only pardon them for all their previous crimes, but also pay them twenty pounds of severance each, and they had been plotting for a long time to leak our information before they left the port. ”

Harry was anxious, and his voice became faster and faster, "Right behind us, there is a fleet of navy and pirate hunters who have been quietly following us, and that small ship is here to contact them, and this dinner is actually Jarvis's idea, in order to create a chance for that fleet to get their hands dirty." ”

Zhang Heng's heart moved, thinking of the incident that Man Fan Brooke had mentioned to him before, he was targeted by a group of people of unknown origin during a raid, Brooke thought that the other party was a pirate from elsewhere, but now it seems that that group of people is probably a pirate hunter who cooperated with Jarvis.
