Chapter 57: Legends on the Sea
The pirates lowered their dice and ran onto the deck with a.
At this time, Andy had just pulled his prey onto the boat, which was a mackerel nearly a meter long, also called mackerel, with very delicious meat.
The mackerel kept fluttering on the deck, and Margaret crouched to the side, already thinking about how to cook such a large fish at night.
"Boatswain, how come there is a woman on board?"
A pirate with pigtails stepped forward and stared at Margaret in a hoarse voice.
Margaret then noticed that more than a dozen pirates had run out of the cabin, all of them were looking at her fiercely, feeling that something was wrong, and Margaret took a few steps back in the direction of Andre.
As for why Andrew?
Didn't you hear that pirate call him a boatswain? As for Andy's little bit, he must not be as good as a boatswain.
Andler glanced at the pigtails and said softly, "Rivers, just do your own thing, there is someone else on the ship, it seems that I don't need to report it to you." ”
Although Andre was injured, the momentum was still there, and Rivers opened his mouth, his face flushed, but he couldn't say anything more.
Margaret's eyes lit up, and she stood beside Andler, looking at his high nose and deep eyes, and the corners of her mouth opened in an arc.
"But there's an extra woman on the ship now! God, a woman on the boat will bring us disaster!"
"No, the storm and the waves will take extra care of the ships with women!"
The pirates behind Rivers whispered, but they deliberately said it loudly, anyway, there were many of them, and Andler had a good temper, and they were not afraid of anything.
Roger motioned for the helmsman to take his place, jumped down from the aft building, and shouted and cursed, "You fools, why don't you rest down below and run up and make a noise?
"Boss, you're here just in time, look at her, she's a woman!"
Roger's face is dark, Lao Tzu is not blind, and he is not stupid, can he not know that she is a woman?
"Get out of here, this woman was ordered by the captain to stay on the ship, if you have any problems, you can go to the captain to talk to the captain in person!"
The pirates were silent, and Rivers shuddered, not knowing what he was muttering all the way, and turned around with the pirates to go back to the cabin.
"Woe will happen, it will!"
The old gunner, Mit, gave Margaret a deep look, sighed, and walked back with the flask.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Roger walked to the deck, habitually wanting to take off his pants, but thinking that Margaret was still here, he awkwardly straightened his clothes and walked to the other side of the stern building, making sure that Margaret couldn't see here, so he took off his pants and began to release the water.
The remaining three were a little embarrassed, Margaret blushed a little, Andler and Andy looked at the fishing rod as if they didn't notice what was going on here, and the sound of mackerel hitting the deck broke the strange situation.
"You dead fish, I'll roast you tonight!"
Margaret said angrily, as if casually, "Why don't they like me on the ship?"
"It has something to do with some legends of the sea, and women are more troublesome on ships, and pirates don't like trouble. ”
Andy thought for a while and replied, there is also this saying in the East, because women bleed every month, so taking women on the boat will have a bloody disaster, which is unlucky.
And men are very casual in solving personal hygiene, and they can even stand in the bow of the boat and release the water downwind, but girls cannot.
Moreover, women have to wash frequently, they can't go to sea on special days, they can't get wet, and their combat effectiveness is generally lower than that of men, which also leads to a large number of pirates who are resistant to going to sea with women.
"There are many legends about the sea, most of which are pirates who were cursed by evil witches and died in the ocean. ”
Andler took over and chuckled, looking at him he didn't believe in these legends.
"But there is a legend that may be true, that a long time ago, a great pirate king, while sailing, dreamed of a beautiful woman who kept telling him to go to an island on the map, and the pirates thought it was a sign from the gods, so they changed course and went to the island. ”
Andy and Margaret listened quietly, and this sea legend was still very attractive to them.
When they arrived, they found that the island was filled with countless coins and jewels, mountains of gold and silver, lakes of precious stones, emerald groves, and even at night, the island glowed with a rainbow of riches comparable to the wealth of all the empires in the world. ”
Andy's eyebrows raised, is there really such an island in the world?
"And then, did they take the gold and jewels with them?"
Margaret asked.
"Of course not, there is so much wealth that even the Pirate King's ship cannot fit, and they stay there, and in the evening, they feast on rum and barbecue. ”
"And when I woke up the next day...... The pirates found their ships rotten, their guns rusty, and even the sealed food stinking, as if they had slept for decades. ”
"How so?"
Margaret exclaimed, and the look of curiosity on her face was even worse.
"The jewels on the Pirate King's ship were carried to the beach by the waves, and everything but wealth had rotted, and the pirates on that ship slowly turned into dry bones due to lack of food. ”
Andler sighed and pulled up the rod, on which a small squid was entangled.
"After that, the pirates regarded women's guidance as a precursor to disaster, and gradually became incapable of bringing women on board. ”
Andy and Margaret were stunned, didn't they expect the story to end up here?
"What about that island? There can't be such an island in the world, right?"
Andy asked.
Andre smiled and shook his head, "I said that this legend is possible, because there really is such an island in the world!"
It's true...... Exist?!
What kind of power can make an island full of mountains of gold and silver, and can make everything but jewelry decay?
The squid on the deck spat out a mouthful of ink and slowly moved to the other side, trying to climb back into the sea along the railing.
Andler spun around sharply, and a dagger flew out, pinning the squid to the deck.
"There is such an island in the central sea, but it is surrounded by a curse, and anyone who comes near the island will grow old quickly, and become dry bones when they set foot on the island. ”
"The island is full of the curse of aging, called...... Treasure Island!"
