Chapter 51: The Fat Man's Counterattack
Now the sun is shining, Figo is sitting on the deck watching the sailors drying the salted meat, this time it is late, when the meat bucket is opened, there is already a layer of maggots with white flowers on the salted meat, this is the larvae of flies, the sailors are no longer surprised, just use the hook to hook out the salted meat pieces, then the maggots are shaken into a wooden basin, there is already half a pot of this maggot in the wooden basin, this is the nest material for a while fishing.
After a while, after drying all the salted meat, there will be as many as two pots of maggots with white flowers, and then the pots will be sprinkled out of the boat, and then a boatload of people will take the big fishing nets one by one and scatter them down, and you can pull up a lot of fish that swim on the surface of the water to eat maggots.
At that time, it was time for sailors to improve their food, after all, even if the fish was tired of eating, it was much better than the salted meat with maggots!
Figo looked at the feeble sailors and sighed! I can't go back, I killed so many soldiers, and when I return to England, I'm just going to the gallows, it seems that I can't even do it as a smuggler when I go back this time!
It's also a good idea to find a waterway and become a pirate.
That's all there is to it! Figo leaned weakly on the back of his chair, affected by the pessimism of the sailors, and he was also a little pessimistic, whether he could go back? Will you die in this sea where I don't know where? Will he be the last to die on this ship? If you are the last to die on this ship, then where will the ship drift in the end? Will it drift back to the UK?
He felt that he should write a diary, he couldn't die so inexplicably, he was serving the country, this had to be written down, otherwise he would die as a pirate, it would be too embarrassing.
“…… As soon as I met the Oriental nobleman, I went to Plychius and went to the Duke, and told him that this nobleman from the East would definitely have a chart to the East, and if we could have this chart in our hands, then we would get a lot, because it was the route to the Golden Country......
The Duke supported me, and told me that he would report it to the Crown, and gave me the title of Lord, and that I was a British nobleman, so it was right to serve the country...... I led five ships in pursuit of the two merchant ships of the Orientals, but they took advantage of the darkness of the night to escape, and if we didn't happen to see the garbage carried by the ocean currents during the day, we really let them run away......
On the fiftieth day, our water was too smelly to drink, and many people died from drinking the smelly water......
On the fifty-first day, they brought us into the reefs, and I found out that they were very familiar with the sea, where there were reefs, and how to walk in the reefs, and they walked out with ease, so whenever their boat made strange movements, we would let the boat do the same in the same position later......
Larry they were gone, they both boats left me, I asked them if they were sure to get out of the ocean and walk back to England, in the absence of fresh water, they said no, but still to go, because there were so many dead people on our boats, every day dead people were thrown into the sea, and even now I can see sharks in the back of our boat that eat dead bodies, because we throw corpses so often, they are used to being fed by us......
The sailors were fishing, and the bait they used was actually a fly larvae growing out of the salted meat, that is, a maggot with white flowers, and I could see that they had little strength left, and they didn't have much desire to survive, because two more people had jumped into the sea this morning......
Maybe Larry is right, we don't have an advantage over the Orientals now, because I found a problem, not a single person on their ship died, because yesterday I deliberately went to take a closer look, they were more than a hundred people when they set off, and now they are still more than a hundred, nothing has changed, they have not attrition, what a mysterious Oriental......
Oh! Christ was above, and the rain of arrows covered the people who were lying down on the deck to bask in the sun, and the damned lookout was now screaming, and I swear, he must have fallen asleep just now, and I had no ability to resist, and the sailors were dead, and there were not many dead left, and the Oriental man had climbed aboard the ship, and they were making up for the sailors who were not yet completely dead......
…… Christ is above, and the Orientals are coming to my captain's chamber like a demon, shall I die like a knight, or shall I survive like a coward......"
The fat man is an anxious person, and sometimes he wants to do it when he thinks of it, and when he sees that the remaining sailors on Figo's ship are barely enough to operate the sails of two ships, he has the idea of counterattacking Figo, and then this idea is like the nameless karma that the Buddhists say is burning more and more in his heart.
I didn't want to come in such a hurry, but who knew that from the small map, the lookouts on Figo's two warships had been caught in the sun and fell asleep on the fight, and the sailors, who already had little strength, did not have half the strength to lie on the deck after a long time of casting their nets to catch fish.
The most important thing is that the fat man's ship does not leave today, and Figo's ship does not dare to come up without many sailors, everyone has dropped anchor, and the captain of Figo's other ship is sleeping in the captain's room, and there is no one in the helm's cabin, so that when all of them on both ships bring bows and arrows to touch them, two against two, after a rain of arrows, everyone throws down their bows, bites knives in their mouths and climbs the warship more than a meter higher than their own boat, or jumps the warship with a sail rope.
Who knew that after jumping over, there were few people who could still stand up, and it was not enough for this group of people to cut down with knives in the past, and there were few living people, but there was a person in the captain's room, and the fat man saw it, it was Figo.
Figo walked out, he sorted out all his clothes, he was a real nobleman now, not the kind that bluffed before, he was real now.
So even if he dies, he must die with the demeanor of a nobleman, he is a knight, even if he is driven out halfway, then he is also a knightly educated person, and he will die like a knight.
The fat man saw Figo's will to die, and also saw Figo's solemnity before he died, he also straightened the purple official uniform on his body, picked up a cloth and wiped the blood that was dripping from Shang Fang's sword, and waited for Figo to speak.
"I, Ruth. Lord Figo, Cadet Knight, charge against you with my life, with the knight's sword in my hand, for my honor, and I will defend my dignity with my life! ”
After saying that, Figo suddenly burst out with all the power in his life, this body, and his huge body rushed at a speed like an arrow, and slashed at the fat man's body with a sword.
Although the fat man is not very good at using a sword, but his fists and feet are good, this thing is a reasonable thing, he thought about it after going back last time, as the saying goes, it is difficult to practice boxing after practicing the blade, but it is easy to practice the blade after practicing the boxing, because the blade is the extension of the fist and feet, and he is proud of the long fist, and I think that those famous people evolved from the long fist Tai Chi sword is also similar to the practice of boxing, but this fist is a little longer.
After thinking about it, it was easy to use the sword, Figo slashed with a sword, and he didn't block it, but just put the sword on Figo's sword, and led it diagonally back, and then he gently took a step forward diagonally, and stood on Figo's side, and his left hand pressed hard at the opponent's side waist, and Figo snapped to the ground, and a big sword was released.
The sailors cheered and came up to take the rope and tied Figo, who relieved himself when he was tied and shouted: "Let go of me, I will defend my dignity with my life!" ”
O'Neill also dealt with the enemy of another ship at this time, and also got on this ship to see the situation here, and after hearing Figo's shout, he smiled and leaned in and said, "Shark Figo, aren't you a smuggler, why did you come to be a pirate?" Do you want to die with dignity? No, according to convention, you are the captain, if you die in battle, it goes without saying, but if you are captured, we are not qualified to kill a captain, this is the custom at sea, but you are a pirate captain, we will deal with you according to the practice of a pirate captain, don't worry, I will convince my captain. ”
Figo's color changed: "No! You can't do that, I don't want to be a wild man on a desert island, no! Don't do this! ”
The fat man was also curious: "What kind of convention made him listen to the perversion?" ”
"Hey, hey!" O'Neill smiled wickedly: "Captain, according to the custom on the sea, if you catch the pirate captain, give him a knife, put him on a deserted island in the middle of the sea, and let him fend for himself, so that he can only have two consequences, become a wild man on the island, and then die alone, or build a small raft by himself, drift on the sea, maybe he will come across a ship before he is dyed of thirst, starvation, and sunburning, and the raft will fall apart, maybe the people of this ship will save him, who knows!" But this is the rule of the sea, and it is also the punishment of pirates. ”
"Yes! That's it! Captain, we have to behave! Caterina said the same.
"Okay!" The fat man nodded indifferently, I don't know how this rule was made, it really gives people a little hope or despair, this feeling is too uncomfortable, so the fat man's idea is that either he won't be a pirate, or he won't be caught, and the feeling of being caught in the hands of others is too uncomfortable.
Figo had been taken down and locked up, the ship was a military warship, and there was still a cell in the bilge.
The fat man touched the warship with drool, and Caterina looked at her captain with disdain, this person who looked like a dirt bun was really the captain of his own wise and martial arts who hid with himself and others for more than 50 days and was not caught up by the pirates dressed as British, and finally succeeded in counterattacking?
was a little embarrassed by Katarina's eyes looking at the buns, and couldn't help coughing: "Beautiful Caterina first mate, you look at me so affectionately, do you have a crush on the young and handsome captain me?" ”
Caterina was defeated by him, and she squatted down with her head patted on her head, not wanting to bother with the fat man again.
After the joke, the fat man also became serious: "Now I announce the establishment of a fleet of four ships, the ship under my feet now, changed to my flagship, changed the name of the Yinglong, and the original Yinglong will be changed to Luoyang!" From now on, the captain of the Luoyang is Katerina. Senny, another warship has been renamed the Dragon, with O'Neill as the captain and my boatswain Ethan as your first mate, O'Neill, giving you a mission to teach our giant Ethan to read charts, and my flagship, Wolflin, will be my first mate! ”
"And the first mate of the Luoyang, my beautiful Captain Katarina, I decided to put Captain Ori of Artillery. Chen Pai will be your first mate, I hope you can cooperate happily! ”
"Ori?"
