The wind and the sun are beautiful, and the sky is cloudless......

It's the third day.

Last night, Gordon and Kulich discussed excitedly for a night, measured their coordinates three times in detail, and determined that the location of the wreck was indeed not far away.

Early that morning, Gordon got out of bed, and although he had two dark circles under his eyes, he was extremely excited, and he was eating boiled beans and looking around with a telescope.

"Seven reefs, reefs, where are my little darling?"

He scooped a spoonful of delicious peas with a spoon and stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them heavily, but his eyes did not take his eyes off the binoculars at all.

The warm soup flowed straight into his neck and continued to spread downward.

"Well, damn it, I just got a new dress. ”

Gordon quickly put down his binoculars, wiped the soup with his hand, and looked at his clothes.

Then the new garment had long since been ruined by his absent-minded breakfast, stained with all sorts of bread crumbs, soup and butter.

"Well, it's ruined. ”

Since it has been ruined, it is even more unscrupulous, and directly wiped the oil and soup on his hands directly on his clothes, then clapped his hands and continued to pick up the binoculars.

"Alan, do you see the reef?"

At this time, Alan was in the position of the lookout on the mast, and he could see farther.

"Not yet...... Wait, Captain! I see the reef, in the direction of the ship...... "He shouted to Gordon's position below.

Gordon quickly ran to the bow of the ship, and looked in that direction, where several prominent reefs gradually appeared on the horizon.

Not just a few of them, but almost all the sailors were looking around, and they were also swarming to the bow of the ship.

"Morgan, correct direction!"

Kulich nodded, and then directly began to turn the compass, and the ship headed head-on in that direction.

Objects would appear about fifteen nautical miles away from the horizon, and the Jackdaw flared its sails and approached at full speed.

If the ship's treasure is successfully salvaged, at least one hundred gold coins will be given to each sailor, and Gordon himself will certainly be able to own ninety percent of the treasure.

One hundred gold coins is a huge amount of money for everyone, which can make an ordinary family last for thirty years without worrying about food and clothing, not only Gordon is very excited, but also the sailors are excited.

"Mitch, what are you going to do when you get the money?"

Alan had already begun to fantasize about his given life, and if it was him, he would definitely return to Cayenne, and then contemptuously throw a few gold coins to his father, who was an alcoholic all day long, and then maybe he could buy a farm, and then take the woman he had liked for a long time, so that she would never have to be a maid in the Doge's Mansion again.

I sail for money, and when I have money, why do I sail?

Mickey was stunned for a moment, he really didn't think about how he should spend the money if he got it: "Why don't I buy a boat myself and become a captain?"

He had been sailing since he was 16 years old, and there was no one else in his family, and there was no other way to do it than sailing.

"Forget it, Mickey, don't you have anything else on your mind besides sailing? a hundred gold coins can buy a small boat, and I don't know how long it will take to recoup the cost. ”

Alan was a little speechless, why doesn't this person have other dreams, being a man without dreams, what's the difference between being a man and salted fish?

Mickey just smiled innocently, he really didn't have any other dreams, how free the sea was, smelling the sea breeze, watching the seabirds, having rum to drink every day, maybe one day he would find a bigger treasure like Captain Gordon?

Almost every sailor was discussing how to spend such a large sum of money, and only Gordon laughed as he listened: "The sparrows are still flying in the sky, and they have already figured out how to eat them."

Kulich on the side couldn't bear to demolish him, just rolled his eyes, last night, Gordon, who had drunk a little wine, even thought about the plan for the formation of his own fleet, just waiting for this big treasure.

Gordon, who was in a good mood, took out a cigar from his arms and lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled the smoke, of course, a good mood brought good interest, and then began to open his voice and sing loudly: "My family lives on the high slope of the loess, and the wind blows from the slope, whether it is the southeast wind or the northwest wind......

This strange oriental song, with a completely different rhythm and tone from that of the West in this century, was not understood by any of the crew, and only Gordon sang it alone.

More than seventy people looked at their captain and laughed to themselves, and although they couldn't understand it, they could still hear the joyful tune.

The reef was getting closer, and then the ship suddenly shook violently, and flew Gordon, who was singing, out of the shipyard town, and fell directly on the deck.

But at this time, he didn't care about his own fall, many sailors were injured in this shaking, and he was more concerned that his ship would not hit the reef directly. The ship sank, and everyone was doomed.

"What's going on?Mitch, hurry up and take the sailors to check the bilge, Alan, take care of the crew's injuries, Morgan, stop the ship first!"

Gordon got up from the ground, this time the fall was not light, fortunately he was in good health, but it felt as if his teeth were loosened a lot.

The sailors on board hastened to their feet, and under the leadership of the boatswain and the first mate, began to inspect the ship, and also treated the wounds.

Gordon unconsciously rubbed his chin, it really hurt, and more importantly, his heart was dripping blood, it was too ruined to ruin his image, this is a profound lesson in life that he can't forget at all.

Gordon walked to the side of the ship alone, and looked at the island base two meters underwater, and the entire Jackdaw ran aground!

At this time, the gravity of the entire ship began to be unbalanced due to the grounding, and it began to tilt slightly to one side.

"Oh, no! ”

Gordon could only grasp the side of the ship with one hand, praying that the ship would not completely overturn.

The wind still blows the sails, giving the ship a constant forward force and accelerating the ship's tilt.

"Pull it, pull it...... I can't hold it anymore!"

The sailors on deck began to pull the ropes desperately, but the tilt of the ship made the sailors begin to lose their footing on the deck and slide to the side.

At such a time, Gordon could no longer sit idly by, and quickly rushed over and pulled the rope and pulled the sail of the ship's mainmast up.

"Hold everything steady, find a fixed position around you, and pull hard!"

All the sailors began to pull up the mast desperately, and finally stopped in the direction of the ship tilting about thirty degrees, but all did not dare to act rashly.
