Chapter 558: The Thief
The workers who cleaned the deck stole things from the pirate ship, although this kind of thing is not common, but it is definitely not a lot, and under the temptation of gold coins, there are still many who are willing to give it a try and steal from the pirates, what is it like.
Olivia's house had just been cleaned, and the two children in charge of cleaning it had not done anything else since they saw two women in the room, although there were many crystals and gems on Olivia's laboratory table, but the two children did not dare to do anything.
There were also strange things on the table: severed hands, eyes, skulls......
A child, a child, saw some wandering souls in the crystal ball......
It's the witch who lives in this room!
The two children were silent, quickly tidying up the house, and then escaping from the house as if fleeing from the plague.
There were a few children on deck who knew them, and when they saw the two of them come out, they winked and walked over to them, grazing the railing.
"Paul, did you get it?"
A child stole a glance at the pirates on the deck, withdrew his gaze, and asked excitedly.
"No, Pete, let's do our jobs, this ship can't be stolen, there's a witch on board!"
Paul shook his head and lowered his voice.
"Hiss~"
Several of the children let out a cry of surprise and looked at Paul in disbelief.
"Witch?"
"That's right, wicked witch! steal this ship, and we'll be damned. ”
Paul swore by it, and his words were confirmed by the child who had just been with him.
Pete had a look of pity, the fact that they were able to survive in this brother's chaotic pirate harbor, and that they seemed to be doing a lot of stealing, proved that they still had brains.
"Alright then, let's do our job, it's just a pity, it's been a long time since such a big pirate ship has come to us, I hope they'll all give us some copper coins." ”
Peatt nodded, and the group dispersed again, heading to a damp corner to start cleaning.
Herman stood on the stern of the boat and watched the group of children, whose gathering did not escape his eyes, and he took a few puffs of a pipe, exhaled a puff of white smoke comfortably, and chuckled.
By the afternoon, the keel had been cleared, Herman paid the workers a few silver coins, and the pirates pulled the Black Fantasy back to the shallow waters with a cable.
After half an hour or so, the deck will be completely cleaned, and as long as it basks in the sun for another afternoon, the Black Fantasy will be able to sail clean and tidy.
"Bones, Billy Bones, come here!"
Herman greets Billy on the beach, who is eating a roast pork leg, and when he hears Herman's shout, he drinks the rum from his glass, then takes an apple and throws it to another pirate.
"If there's nothing important, I'll knock your breakfast out!"
Billy muttered, clicking off half an apple.
When Billy climbed aboard the Black Fantasy, Herman walked over with a smile on his face.
"Tell me, what are you looking for me?"
Billy ignored Herman's smile and spoke.
"Looking at those kids, I suspect they've stolen!"
Herman pointed to Paul, Pete's group of children.
"What? stealing?"
Billy paused for a moment, then smiled playfully.
"Anyone else dares to steal from us? Hah, what a bunch of lifeless little things, can you be sure?"
"It's basically confirmed, I've seen those little things sneaky for a long time, and after coming out of Olivia's room, I deliberately found a chance to have a meeting, and I must have stolen something. ”
Herman whispered, he hadn't seen pirates punish thieves for stealing things, but he had heard of Herman when he was a merchant.
The pirate's method of dealing with thieves is to feed him to fish.
"You mean they stole something from Olivia's room?"
Billy chuckled, looking at Herman like an idiot.
"You just hide your hand in your sleeve and give a middle finger to a witch and he knows that you think someone can steal something right under a witch's nose? ”
Billy raised his middle finger at Herman, who he had thought was having fun with him, but now it seems that the idiot is a little paranoid.
“......”
Herman twitched and shook his hand angrily, he believed that he was not wrong, with his years of experience, those children must be thieves!
At this time, Herman saw Andy who was having a barbecue with Margaret on the beach, his eyes lit up, and he quickly climbed down the cable and ran towards Andy's position.
"Captain!
"Ha, Herman, do you smell my roast too?"
Seeing Herman running eagerly, Margaret smiled, shook the pork chops in her hand and asked Herman.
The expression on Herman's face froze, and he laughed dryly twice and nodded.
"It's a pity, this is what I baked for Andy, if you want to eat it, do it yourself. ”
Margaret laughed and winked at Andy.
Andy rubbed Margaret's blonde hair and looked up at Herman.
"What's the matter?"
"There are a few thieves on board, I suspect they stole something!"
Andy put down the barbecue in his hand, wiped his hands with a burlap, smiled in surprise, and said thief, he thought of Emma.
"Thief, are you sure?"
"It's almost certain that those kids must be thieves, but I don't know if they stole anything, they are responsible for cleaning the deck and Olivia's room, and the captain's room is another group, that group is very honest, and they ran out in fear when they saw the sea beasts in the fish tank. ”
Herman replied with a smile.
"Olivia's room, ha, don't worry, you haven't been in, you don't know how horrible it is, those kids don't have the guts to steal there. ”
Andy waved his hand, if anyone really dared to steal from Olivia's hut, it was still a human being.
"By the way, when I pay for it later, give those children two more silver coins, and it is not easy for a group of children to survive in Pirate Harbor, and if I hadn't met Anna, I would probably have become one of them. ”
Andy instructed Herman, who nodded and returned to the ship.
Andy looked at the figures of the little children who wiped the deck on the Black Fantasy and sighed, these people were basically sold by pirates, or the sons of prostitutes, and they could become thieves and pirates in the future......
If there are no accidents, it is impossible to change fate in this life.
Not everyone is as lucky as Andy.
