John piled the goods on the cart next to him, looked at Bonnet, who was also pushing a cart full of goods, and said, "Let's go, let's go faster, and exchange these heavy goods for a bag full of pounds, I don't want to come back with these white sugars." ”

"Then let's go, don't keep our friends waiting. Bonnet also said. Because he was not as strong as John, Bonnet had even more difficulty pushing the same cart full of goods, gritting his teeth and blushing, so that the cart could go in the direction he wanted, instead of falling crookedly on the dock and scrapping all the sugar, or falling to the ground and knocking over the rum hanging next to the cart.

John looked at Bonnet, who was pushing a small cart in front of him, with a struggling face, and shook his head: no matter how you look at Bonnet, he is not the kind of person who is very accustomed to manual labor, thinking about his size, or after he has been sailing at sea for a long time, he is still so round, and he knows that he must be a relatively wealthy person in his hometown. As a farmer who owns a sugar cane plantation or has mastered the technology of extracting white sugar, I guess I don't know how to work it myself.

Thinking of this, John pushed the cart after Bonnet, and said, "Go back, Bonnet, you are not fit to sail." ”

Bonnet paused, said nothing, and continued to push the cart forward in silence, only to speed up his pace by two points.

John saw the situation and knew that Bonnet was not giving up, so he shook his head slightly and followed him. Although the two were already friends, John believed that if a man had chosen his own path, a friend should help him. Since he had persuaded Bonnet, and he did not give up, John had no choice but to pray for him.

Soon, the two pushed the cart to the agreed place of the transaction, and it was still the merchant, but the difference was that he still had a few people behind him. Listen to him introduce his crew. Bonnet looked at his crew with envy: "John, when we sell the sugar, we have to find a few crew members...... By the way, will you go back to the East India Company?"

John shook his head: "I didn't find a point of contact. And if you follow them all the time, you will never become rich. "Yes, in this world, money is the driving force of everything.

Bonnet watched the merchant across from him count the goods, and said, "How about you come with me?" and I will pay you. ”

John knew that he could not follow the fleet with peace of mind, and that the place where he would go back in the future must be very dangerous, and Bonnet was not suitable, so he refused him: "No, Bonnet, I am going to send you away and go it alone, and see when I can become the captain of the ship, command a big ship, and let them be frightened when they see my flag." ”

Bonnet exclaimed, "Wow, that's a big adventure." ”

As he spoke, the merchant over there nodded and stepped forward to check the quality of the goods. He took a new sack, cut the sack that originally contained the white sugar with a dagger, poured all the sugar from the original pocket into his own pocket, carefully observed the color of the sugar, and gently scooped up a little with his hand and put it in the open palm to observe the reflection of the sugar in the sun. Finally, I took a glass of water, put a little sugar in the water, stirred well, and sipped a little.

"Yes, it's all on the shelf. The merchant was pleased with the sugar, but looked at the rum, "Why is there only four cases of rum?" I thought your wine would fill an entire lake. ”

"I want to keep the rest for myself," said Bonnet, "and I can't go home without a little rum." ”

The merchant nodded, handed the small leather bag containing the pound sterling to Bonnet, and said, "Come to me in Havana if there is any new white sugar, and I can ask for it all as long as it is of this quality." ”

Bonnet took the money bag into his arms, stretched out his hand to hold the right hand handed by the other party, and the two shook hands: "No problem, sir." ”

The two wanted to continue chatting, but there was a commotion in the distance, and gunshots were mixed in.

The merchant was a little nervous: "Friend, is there anything else going on? I don't think I'll be able to leave if I don't leave." ”

Bonnet was also smuggling, but he didn't pay even a penny in taxes to anyone, so he was naturally more afraid. After making sure he had put the money bag away, he pulled John and prepared to leave.

The two hurried back to the ship, and Bonnet fell directly onto the deck: "Oh God, what an exciting life. Just being a smuggler makes my heart skip a beat. ”

John walked into the cabin and took out a piece of black bread and threw it to Bonnet: "It would be better to eat something." ”

"Thank you, John, just feeling hungry. Bonnet grabbed the black bread and got up: "I feel like my stomach is empty, and if I don't eat anything I'm going to see God." ”

John saw that Bonnet was in some spirits, so he said, "If I am not mistaken, the commotion just now has something to do with Edward." When Edward returns, we'll leave as soon as possible, and don't let anyone else use us to cause trouble for Edward. ”

"Okay, okay, I was going to stay a little longer......" Bonnet said, "Looks like we're going to be looking for the crew soon, isn't it?"

John nodded, looking into the city. He felt that there should be something strange about Edward, otherwise the world wouldn't revolve around Edward alone. Especially when the world is reorganized, Edward always encounters something very unusual.

It seems necessary to keep an eye on him at all times. John thought.

In the evening, while John and Bonnet were sitting at the table eating barbecue and drinking rum, Edward returned.

Edward, who had just arrived, sat down across from Bonnet, picked up a wine glass on the table, and found that there was no wine in it, so he poured himself a glass and drank it up.

John came over with a few skewers of barbecue and sat down beside Edward.

Edward didn't look very good at this point, and after a glass of wine, he punched the table: "That's what I'm risking is worth a penny? Those maps are only worth 1,000 silver dollars? That's a maximum of 100 pounds." If there are misers like Torres everywhere, when are we going to get rich?"

Bonnet picked up the bottle and helped Edward fill it up, "You used to ...... Well...... Have you ever worked on a farm?"

Edward didn't answer, saying, "You know what I think? I'm going to go to the 'Observatory,' which the Governor said, and he says there's a device that can spy on everyone in the world. ”

John's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he finally found the key point.

Bonnet, however, was not convinced, and laughed, "Sounds ridiculous. What if my wife comes to spy on me?"

Edward, however, was convinced, saying, "Think about its value, and if I sell it to the right people, I will be the richest pirate of all." Then he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have slipped his mouth, glanced at Bonnet, who was drinking, and John, who was eating barbecue, and quickly changed his words: "Smugglers from the West Indies." ”

Edward stood up, "Goodbye, both, I must speak to the Sage in that house." ”

John held the roast in one hand and waved the other in Edward's direction.

It seems that the observatory is an important place, and we must find time to see it. John bit into the flesh and thought.
