Chapter 7: Crescent Island
The sun had sunk completely below the sea level, and darkness was enveloping the sky.
The wind howls the canvas, and the slaves are still asleep on deck, unaware of their identity, and have become pirates from the moment they step on the pirate ship.
The pirates looked for a place to rest, while Willy, the two lieutenants, and his daughter went to the captain's quarters.
Donner was taken into the cabin by Hans to rest, the filth and stench of it almost made him want to vomit, but what he couldn't stand the most was the speed of the pirate ship, which he thought would never exceed ten knots.
For Donner, who grew up in a modern city, he saw all kinds of speeding cars every day, he rode high-speed trains with speeds of more than 200 yards per hour, experienced giant ships riding the wind and waves in the sea, and even experienced airplanes flying in the blue sky.
Therefore, such a turtle speed sailing is really unimaginable for him.
The pirate ship creaked and sailed, and Donner fell asleep in a daze, and did not wake up until the next day, when the harsh sunlight from the crack in the cabin shone into his eyes.
Donner rubbed his face, took a deep breath, and made his way up the wooden staircase to the deck.
Slaves, oh, no, the new pirates were so tormented by the pirate ship that they were all mentally exhausted, while the old pirates who lived on the sea on the other side were shouting "It's home" in the distance towards the bow of the ship!
Donner smiled, and I guess the pirates were cheering at the same time, "Survive again"!
"That's our home!
Hans came to Donner's side with a smile on his face: "I slept well last night!"
Good?
Donner nodded disnombly, and then followed the pirates' gaze to see an island in the shape of a moon.
The blue waters are vast expanse, and the peaks of the isolated island are green and green, and the surrounding sea surface shows many sharp corners, and the islands and reefs that are mostly hidden under the surface of the water are scattered like stars around the Crescent Island.
When the pirate ship arrives in this area, it slows down and makes a slow detour, carefully avoiding some shadows. It can be seen that these shadows are some reefs hidden under the surface of the sea, and if an unfamiliar ship rushes in, it will inevitably be destroyed and killed.
It didn't take long for Crescent Island to zoom in on view, and the pirate ship passed through this sea area and smoothly approached the island, sailing into the island bay of Crescent Island.
There are several small fishing boats parked in the bay of Crescent Island, and there is a pier on the shore, on which there is a wooden watchtower about five meters high, on which two pirates in tattered clothes lean crookedly.
After seeing the pirate ship sail into the bay of the island, two pirates with scimitars hurriedly descended from the wooden watchtower, and one of them ran towards the island.
The pirate ship docked securely at the docks, and the pirate leader Willy commanded the two pirates to drop the anchor into the bay and lower the sails.
"Guys, move all the stuff down. ”
Willie walked off the pirate ship with his daughter with a big sword on his back.
The pirate on the watchtower ran to the pirate leader: "Commander, is this trip going well?" ”
"It went well! More than 20 brothers died. Willie said lightly, and more than two dozen lives seemed to be worth mentioning in his mouth: "There is nothing to do at home." ”
"It's okay, everything is fine!"
Willy nodded, mumbled, and walked towards Crescent Island.
Under the arrangement of the two deputy commanders, the people on the ship moved all the iron ore and other things off the pirate ship and stacked them on the dock paper, and a few more people came out of the island at this time, followed by two beast carts.
The monster leading the cart resembled a cow rather than a cow, and was covered in pieces of scale armor like fish scales, which Donner had never seen before.
Donner stepped off the boat and followed Hans towards the island, passing a path that gave an unobstructed view of the situation on Crescent Island.
This crescent moon island belongs to the bedrock island, along the outer arc of the sea crescent island uplift a round of peaks, the peaks are about three or four hundred meters above sea level, hugging the crescent island.
There is a small clear lake in the center of the island, and there are some farmland and vegetable fields around it. There are dozens of houses sitting irregularly along the heels of the peaks, and you can see pedestrians coming in and out.
Most of these houses are made of rocks, planks and branches, and without the presence of the island's mountains, it would be impossible to withstand the sea breeze.
"More than 20 brothers died this time, so some of the houses were vacant and were just allocated to the new brothers. Hans took Donner along the island's paths.
Donner looked around, looking at Crescent Island, and saw Captain Willy and his daughter disappear along the road halfway up the opposite mountain.
Most of the islanders who met on the way hurried by in silence, except for a few dirty children who ran over to play when they saw Hans, and were laughed and scolded by Hans.
Hans led Donner to a house that looked sturdier than the others. Hans led him in and said, "My brother who lives here died in this battle, and this will be your place of residence from now on." You are slowly familiar with the situation on the island, you can rest assured, the people on the island are their own people, they are very kind, you can go there to find me if there is anything, I live in that house. ”
Hans pointed to the house not far from him, Donner nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and Hans explained and left.
Donner stood in the room, feeling an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
After that, it was his own home, although it was a little dilapidated, the house was surrounded by walls, and there was nothing except a bed, but he still had a place to live.
It has been nearly a year since I came to this world, and I have spent nearly a year living in the dark of mining, sleeping in thatched huts with a group of slaves, eating unbearable food, without freedom or life support.
Now that he has finally escaped the life of a slave, although he is still a pirate who has no future on the stage, he finally has a little freedom, and he has a chance to take a breath, and he does not have to worry about being slaughtered by the mine owner one day.
There weren't any cleaning tools in the house, so Donner cleaned up a little. The only barely usable thing in the room was a wooden bed against the wall, covered with thick thatch, and an unknown animal skin rolled up in a ball.
Donner lifted the hide, and the stench from the pavement lingered and stunted him. Donner picked it up and was about to throw it away, but after thinking about it, he put it down.
Although I don't know if there are months and days in this world, according to Donner's observations, this time should be the beginning of winter, the night is very cold, and this animal skin should be the only thing to protect the pirate from the previous owner.
Donner just came, and he was unfamiliar with the place, so he had no choice but to endure it first.
After hastily tidying up, Donner went out, ready to walk around the island and familiarize himself with the environment.
Pushing the crumbling wooden door, a soft body crashed into his arms, and then an exclamation sounded.
Donner hugged the girl and quickly apologized.
The girl glanced at Donner with a red face, handed him the wooden tray with the bread in her hand, and said in a voice like a mosquito, "My name is Anna, and I live next door to you, and my father has instructed me to bring you food." ”
After saying that, the girl hurried away, and Donner looked at Anna's back in a daze, and smiled bitterly.
I found that there was no tableware in the house before, and I was still thinking about how to find food, and the neighbors would take care of the things I felt!
Well, besides, the girl is so beautiful.
