The merchant ship had been shelled before, and there was some damage to the hull, although it was not serious, but it was certainly not okay to leave it alone, and the two carpenters quickly threw themselves into their work.

After Owen left, Marvin finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed, "It's so dangerous, it was really terrible just now, I thought I would be crammed into that small boat and die alone on the sea, but now the good news is that we have all stayed, although we have 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, what, are you afraid that I will take your place?" Zhang Hengdao.

"Huh?" Marven forced a smile, "No, no, no, I'm afraid that they will hurt you, these are guys who kill people without blinking, speaking of which you are brave, I don't dare to look into their eyes when I talk to them......"

"I'm curious, Malvin, what would you do if I really intended to take your place, shake out that incident in the kitchen?"

Zhang Heng said lightly.

"How is that possible?" Marven shook his head like a rattle, but his eyes kept dodging, "You saved my life, and I won't betray you no matter what." ”

"That's the best, because I can assure you that if you poke this thing out, you won't be able to escape either."

Marven smiled dryly, but it was clear from his expression that he didn't believe it.

"Do you know why I stabbed that guy in the back three times with a potato knife when he was dead?"

"You...... You! Marven finally changed his color this time, he didn't understand Zhang Heng's superfluous move, thinking that it was just a simple act to vent his anger, but now he finally realized what the other party's purpose was.

"It's hard for one person to leave a wound on another person's chest and back at the same time, but it's easy to explain it if you have a helper, you can tell your story, and I can tell mine, but in the end that corpse will prove which of us has a more believable story."

While the two were talking, another shout came from outside, "Vic, Vic, where the fuck are you dead?" If you don't come out, you won't have your share. ”

A few pirates swore as they walked down the hallway.

Zhang Heng got up and patted Malven, whose face was like ashes, "It's not too early, I'm going to get my musket, you should also go cook, tonight when everyone is asleep, let's do it together, and throw the thing buried under the smoked fish into the sea, so that the two of us will have no troubles." ”

After solving the trouble of the farmer's son, Zhang Heng received a musket and a dagger with a notch on it from Di Frena, who was in charge of ordnance and weapons on the ship, but he didn't have time to familiarize himself with his new weapon, so he received his first assignment after becoming a pirate

- Cleaning the deck.

Yes, pirates live not much different from ordinary sailors when the black flag is not raised, in fact, many of them were sailors before, either because they could not stand the pressure of the captain, or because they longed to risk their freedom and become rich overnight...... In short, for a variety of reasons, they finally chose to become pirates.

However, no one likes to be in a dirty environment, not even a sloppy pirate, and it has nothing to do with cleanliness or not, just because there are so many deadly things on the sea.

Maintaining a good environment not only helps to stabilize the mood, but also effectively reduces the risk of sailors getting sick, so the pirates will also clean the deck regularly, especially after a big battle, there are corpses and blood stains everywhere, Zhang Heng and five other people worked for a full two hours to make the blood stains on it fade a little.

Marven also cooked dinner before sunset, I don't know how he did it, the taste was unexpectedly good, Zhang Heng knew that he had also passed the most difficult hurdle and could stay on the boat.

Don't underestimate the value of a good cook.

Sometimes pirates go out to rob not necessarily to rob money, but also to rob people, life on the sea is boring, especially the ship is full of men with strong blood, it is easy to cause riots after a long time, a good chef can relieve the mental pressure of sailors to a certain extent through delicious food.

Hence the rule that cooks who were not involved in the battle most of the time could receive the same share of the loot as the most dangerous gunners in battle, and no one disputed this.

Night soon came, and the captain and helmsman returned to the Sea Lion after the battle, taking with them about two-thirds of the pirates, and the remaining third under the command of Boatswain Owen, who also became the ship's temporary captain.

The pirates were in good spirits tonight, having just experienced a battle, and they had been holding their opponents down from beginning to end, and they took the ship bloodlessly, and the price paid was only three dead and five lightly wounded, which was enough to give them a drink.

The Irish organ was played, and Vik's name was mentioned by pirates, most of whom believed that he had secretly returned to the Walrus.

Others talked about the money that Vic owed him before, and wondered if this guy had sneaked away, causing everyone to laugh again.

It wasn't until Owen's figure appeared in the dining hall that his gaze swept over the pirates and he spoke, "News has just come from the Sea Lion, and they are very sure that Vic is not up there, who is the last person to see him today?" ”

When the pirates heard this, they looked at each other, and there were only two outcomes when they fought normally, either they were dead or they were alive, and there had never been a situation where a big living person had disappeared before.

"Is it possible that you fell into the water?" Someone speculated.

"No way, I checked before sailing, and there were no people in the water nearby." The other pirate shook his head.

"Yes," chimed in, "I saw him rush into the cabin below deck, he was the first to enter, and I haven't seen him since." ”

The pirates were talking about it, but no one could say anything about Vic's disappearance.

Owen's eyes moved to the new recruits, but Malvin was still in the kitchen, and he didn't see anything unusual on the faces of the other three, they didn't behave like the pirates, they were basically sitting in the corner and eating their dinner quietly, but considering that they were still on the side of the looting, this was normal.

Then Owen turned his gaze back again, "Okay, who is the one in charge of counting the loot in the afternoon, and I will go to the captain's room in five minutes." ”
