It is said that the sea is the place where men belong, representing freedom and unrestrainedness, with endless beauty. Russell, however, had little interest in sailing, and the limerick poem 'The Sea and the Horse' was very realistic, and he didn't see any beautiful scenery.

Except that water is water, it's still salty!

The entrance to Davy Jones' Hell is at the end of the world, and it sounds lofty, but it's actually an Antarctic glacier that can be reached all the way south from Singapore.

The voyage was a long one, and Russell handed over the rudder to Barbossa, identified Thaihuang as the first mate, and hid in the captain's room all day.

Although Barbossa has a history of driving away the captain, Russell doesn't care, on the vast sea, the power of one person is too small, and Barbossa can't drive the Empress alone.

That's right, Barbossa wasn't alone, Turner, Elizabeth, and Jack's funny subordinates all huddled with him to keep warm. But so what, plus there are no more than ten undead monkeys, and they still can't open the empress.

A shipload of Chinese pirates at the behest of Tai Huang and Russell had seen his inhuman strength, and there was zero chance of being incited to rebel.

Barbossa is not an unwise man, and this trip is determined to retrieve Jack, and if he can master the helm of the Queen, he will not ask for more.

On the deck, hundreds of sailors came and went, busy working under the command of Tai Huang. When the pirate flag is raised, the group is pirates, and when the flag is lowered, they are sailors.

The Empress had suffered a lot of damage in the naval battle, and the ship was passing by an island, cramming supplies and grabbing a batch of planks, and the carpenters on board were repairing the hull. The rest of the sailors either raised and lowered the sails or climbed the lookouts, and more often scrubbed the decks, guns, and carried supplies out of the cabins to dry.

Move back when you're done drying, continue to wipe the deck, and then move supplies out.

It's not that Tai Huang likes to toss people, more than a hundred big men get together, and they have to find something to do, otherwise there is nowhere to vent their energy, and the ghost knows what will happen.

Elizabeth agreed, and it was better to exhaust them to death, so that no one would stare at her with a squint!

What made her most indignant was that this group of experienced scum not only looked at her with a squinting look, but also when she looked at Turner.

She admits that Turner has a heartthrob face, is handsome, and is fine enough to be called tender meat among pirates, but he is a man, a man with a handle.

A group of men looked at a man with squinting eyes, what did they want to do?

No, what can they do?

Elizabeth was speechless: "This group of people must be blind, Will looks a little whiter, but he is really not a woman......"

……

At noon, Barbossa sat on the deck and enjoyed a delicious lunch, and the Chinese pirates were very xenophobic, they were isolated and had to eat on the deck.

The supplies were famous, made in Britain, and the illicit goods that the navy soldiers secretly sold when they made extra money were finally bought back by the Tai Huang people.

Dried peas, hard crackers, bacon, cheese, rum!

Among them, salted meat, affectionately called 'zombie meat' by British Navy soldiers, has pork and beef, and because it is a strategic material, it has a long storage time. Eating salted meat a few years ago is considered a big explosion of character, and eating salted meat decades ago is called normal.

Hard biscuits are called 'teethers' because they are so hard that they have to be soaked in hot soup for a while unless they have a good mouth. If you're lucky, you can eat blackhead maggots in cookies, which are extremely high in protein and a little sweet!

As for cheese, you can refer to hard biscuits, because they are stored all year round, hard enough to be used as a carving knife, carve a few handicrafts when you have nothing to do, and make extra money.

Barbossa chewed dry peas, the undead monkey on his shoulder jumped up and down, he couldn't die without eating, but the instinct of life still drove him to please Barbossa and beg for some food.

"Oh, Jack, you little clever ghost."

Barbossa smiled and picked up the knife, wasted all his strength, and cut a small piece of cheese with a trembling body: "Look... See what this is...... D, I'm exhausted. ”

The monkey took the cheese and winked as if to thank Barbossa, and it swallowed the cheese in its mouth and chewed it vigorously.

"Gaba! Gaba ...... Click!! ”

The undead monkey spat out a tooth, fell off Barbossa's shoulder, and fell to the ground and kicked his legs and stopped moving.

"Oh God!" Elizabeth retracted her gaze with black lines all over her face, which was not funny at all, because she could also have lost her teeth.

She forked the salted meat on the plate: "High-class private goods from Britain, it sounds so good, it turns out that the navy soldiers of our country are living so miserably. ”

"If you don't eat it, you can give it to me." The tall, thin one-eyed pirate salivated and looked at the bacon on Elizabeth's plate, his own portion had been eaten, and it didn't feel bad.

The stocky Mediterranean pirate was equally in anticipation, and was looked at by three eyes, and Elizabeth lost her appetite even more, and threw the bacon from her fork casually. One-Eyed and Mediterranean flew out, and the two scuffled together, the quality of the bacon was very good, and it was not deformed when they were dragged around by the two.

"Will, what do you think?"

Turner swallowed the shriveled peas, only to feel that the esophagus had been scraped by a knife, and his face was pale and he took a big sip of rum: "It's bad, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Jack for the last time." ”

"This is life at sea, you have to learn to adapt." Jack's first mate, Gibbs, swallowed the bacon with difficulty and raised his glass: "If you want to open it, at least we still have rum." ”

Barbossa agreed, raising his glass: "That's right, this glass of great rum." ”

The group was amused, and the atmosphere soon became lively, and Elizabeth learned to swallow Turner's dried peas and took a large sip of rum.

"How does it feel?" Turner asked with concern that Elizabeth was well-off, and if it weren't for him going to sea, there wouldn't be any need to be guilty of such a crime.

Elizabeth said with a smile: "I miss a little nostalgically, when my father was feeding his war horses when I was a child, I stole a few bites of dried peas. ”

"Elizabeth......" Turner was moved, he knew that Elizabeth was lying, in order to make him feel better.

"Will ......"

The two of them interlocked their fingers, and Lang Qing and concubines held each other tightly, ignoring the cursing on the side, and sprinkling dog food on their own.

At this moment, the enticing aroma wafts onto the deck, whether it is the taste of food or the haute cuisine that has just come out of the pot.

The laughter instantly stopped, and several people fell silent as they looked at the biscuits on their plates, which were harder than stones, and the bacon that was probably older than them, and even Turner and Elizabeth had no heart to sprinkle dog food.

"Goo Goo Goo ~~"

I don't know whose stomach rang.

Barbossa wiped his mouth gracefully and said apologetically, "Guys, great lunch, but it suddenly occurred to me that I had something very important to discuss with Mr. Strategist. You eat first, and you don't have to wait for me. ”

With that, Barbossa got up and left the table, and walked into the cabin without looking back.

Elizabeth and Turner looked at each other, nodded and said in unison: "This matter is a bit complicated, Barbossa can't explain it alone, let's go over and help him." ”

Gibbs and the others looked at each other speechlessly, secretly cursing the shameless pirate in their hearts, and hurriedly got up and chased after them.

"Bang dang!"

At the entrance of the cabin, the Taihuang horizontal knife immediately blocked the way, and Gibbs and several people were stopped: "Go back, your table is there." ”

"But, Barbossa, the three of them...... This is discrimination! Gibbs and the others widened their eyes, even if it was a differentiator, it was too obvious. Aren't they good, they're funny!

Tai Huang snorted disdainfully, he was a sincere person, he would not turn around when he spoke, and said bluntly: "That's right, it's discrimination, you are too ugly, it will affect the appetite of adults." ”

Gibbs: "......"

I'm not ugly, the next few are ugly!

……

Located at the stern of the main deck, Howling Wind's private cabins are class-rich and luxuriously decorated to emphasize the captain's status. Spices, ivory crafts, fine furniture, precious carpets, and an incense burner on the captain's desk emitted smoke add a touch of elegance to luxury.

Dry, warm and cozy, it doesn't feel like being on the sea at all!

The table of the Eight Immortals in the center was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, Russell sat on the main seat, and behind him stood the dog-legged Jason.

Barbossa sat down separately, all three of them maintaining proper table manners, and Russell sat down without moving.

"Don't worry, it's not poisoned, it's just that I'm used to eating big fish and meat these days, and I don't have much appetite." Russell said as he picked up the apple and took a bite, then picked up one and handed it to Barbossa.

"Thank you, Mr. Strategist, for your hospitality." Barbossa got up to take the apple and took a bite, the sweet juice pouring down his throat, and he raised his glass to Russell.

Seeing Barbossa start eating, Elizabeth and Turner followed, and the relationship between them was strange, like sworn enemies and friends, and most of the time, Barbossa played the role of a parent.

"Mr. Strategist, it's really helpless to involve you in this trip, I hope you don't mind."

"It's okay, it just so happens that I want to see Jack too." Russell smiled and nodded, Barbosa was suave, even if he knew that he was pretending, it was difficult to make people dissatisfied.

Turner stopped to eat and politely asked, "IMHO, what are you looking for Jack?" ”

Russell rightly said, "The famous Captain Jack Sparrow, a legendary pirate in the Caribbean, has heard his name for a long time, so I want to meet him." ”

Elizabeth complained: "Then you may be disappointed, the so-called legendary experience is all rumors, he is just a lucky liar." ”

"No, I don't think so......" Russell raised his glass and tasted it, and said meaningfully: "There are thousands of devils on the sea, and Jack has provoked most of them!" ”

Elizabeth was dumbfounded, this is true, but does this have anything to do with seeing Jack?

"The person who can get into trouble everywhere and be happy is not as simple as luck, he can be called a legendary pirate." Russell said and glanced at Barbossa: "Of course, Captain Barbossa, you are also a legend. ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" Barbossa smiled and took the title of 'Legend', paused and asked, "Mr. Strategist, I want to ask, Jack hasn't offended you before, right?" ”

Hearing Barbossa's question, Elizabeth and Turner instantly woke up, their eyes were slightly sad, and Jack's smiling face flashed in their minds, it was really possible that this kind of thing had happened.

"No, I'm not the devil, and he hasn't offended me either......" Russell thought for a moment and added, "At least not yet!" ”
