Chapter 20: Captain Jack Sparrow's debut
The Naval Castle is built on a cliff next to the pier and overlooks the entire Port Royal.
On the wall facing the sea, a half-man-high cannon is lined up, and the alarm bell is hung in the middle of an arch.
Townsend sat alone on the edge of the cliff, looking out at the docks at Port Royal, where he could see people lining up in a long line, being inspected by the soldiers, and then diverting to every ship docked in the harbor in small boats.
As for those who didn't go to the line, they still gathered in the center of the dock square, looking at the challengers in the naval encirclement.
"What are you looking at? Mr. Tang. A crisp voice sounded from behind him, and Townsend could tell it was Miss Swan's voice.
He didn't turn around, and said, "Miss Swann actually has time to make small talk to me?" Didn't Brigadier General Norrington look for you? ”
"I think he still has some socializing." Miss Swan approached and tried to climb the wall to blow the wind.
"A suggestion, Miss Swan." Tang Sen said lightly: "If I were you, I wouldn't have tried to stand in such a dangerous place when I was out of breath, if I fell, I'm afraid everyone present would be unlucky." ”
"How do you know I'm out of breath?" Miss Swan stopped.
"I'm a traveler, Miss Swan." "Women's dresses from London are famous for their inhumane designs. ”
"I thought it was because my waist was too thick." Miss Swan was relieved: "Is it really because of the dress?" Thank you, Mr. Tang, at least I'm much happier now. ”
At this moment, Townsend saw a solo sailboat slowly approaching Port Royal offshore offshore.
You can faintly see a figure standing on the mast, with a unique shape.
"Jack Sparrow." Tang Sen muttered to himself, "It's finally waiting for you." ”
"What?" Miss Swan asked.
"Nothing." Townsend stood up: "I thought, it's time for me to go." ”
"I'm with you, I want to go see Will and talk to him about something."
"On a day like today, Brigadier General Norrington may have something to say to you, is it really okay to just leave?" Townsend laughed.
Miss Swan hesitated for a moment, and looked back at the back of the brigadier general who was socializing in the crowd: "I think I know what he has to say, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate today." ”
......
"People, all people."
Jack Sparrow stood on top of the mast and looked at the bustling dock in front of him.
"What is the holiday today? Why don't I remember at all? ”
The boat beneath his feet slowly sank to the bottom of the water, until the moment when it sank completely, he stepped on the plank of the dock just right.
Before he could stand firm, two naval soldiers had already come up to meet him.
"Dirty long hair, leather tricorne, dark circles, sissy." They looked Jack Sparrow up and down, then looked at each other.
"Right?"
"Yes!"
"Wait!" Jack Sparrow hurriedly shouted, "What you just said was describing me? ”
The two soldiers held their guns and pointed them at Jack, saying, "Is your name Jack Sparrow?" ”
"No, my name is Barbossa, Hector Barbossa." Jack said seriously, "I think you recognized the wrong person. ”
"I admit that I haven't washed my hair for a long time, and I didn't sleep all night during the storm yesterday, so I have a little dark circles under my eyes, but the last point obviously doesn't match me."
The soldiers looked at Jack again, then nodded in unison, "No, that last point is exactly the same." ”
"It hurts." Jack sighed and said, "Well, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, and I don't remember being so famous in Port Royal. ”
"Don't move, you need to wait here for Mr. Tang." The two soldiers approached and shouted.
"Mr. Tang?" Jack tilted his head, "Do I know him?" ”
"How do we know! Anyway, Mr. Tang asked us to wait for you here. ”
Another soldier added: "Mr. Tang specifically explained that you must not be allowed to leave the dock until he comes. ”
"Oh, it looks like I have an admirer." Jack laughed suddenly: "However, I'm afraid I don't have so much time to see him, why don't you give you three shillings, and you should not see me, how about it?" ”
"Three shillings?" The two soldiers were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Who are you looking down on? Mr. Tang promised us that as long as you don't let you run, he will give us thirty gold coins! ”
"You're talking about that sparkling golden cutie? The kind worth twenty-one shillings? Jack opened his mouth, "That's a lot of money." ”
"I wonder if I'll get that money if I catch myself?"
"You want to be beautiful!" The soldier mocked: "Don't talk nonsense, stand still obediently!" ”
"I have one last question." Jack asked seriously, "If I die, will you still get that money?" ”
"It's... Of course not, Mr. Tang definitely didn't want to see a dead man. The soldier said hesitantly.
Jack nodded abruptly, then relaxed, and said, "Then I decided to ignore you, and slipped past the two of you and blended in with the crowd, so that you can never find me again." ”
"Impossible! If you dare to run, we'll shoot! Two soldiers threatened.
"If you dare to shoot, I will dare to die." Jack spread his hands: "Thirty gold coins, boom, gone." ”
“......”
"He seems to be threatening us?"
"Sounds like this, what should I do?"
"You can't beat him to death, otherwise Mr. Tang will definitely blame."
"That's... Let him go? ”
"You stupid, can't we use our fists without guns? There are two of us and he is only one! ”
"Makes sense."
After the two finished discussing, they looked ahead again, only to find that the person in front of them had long since disappeared, and they quickly turned their heads to see that the person had waved his arms and ran frantically towards the dock square in a strange and bewitching posture.
"Stop!"
"If we run again, we'll shoot!"
However, there were already many people on the dock, and the other party ignored their threat, and in three or two clicks, they got into the crowd and disappeared.
"It's over, he's going to run away, what should I do?"
"Don't panic, Mr. Tang said that this person is very cunning, and if he can't stop it, he will call someone."
He took a deep breath and shouted towards the dock, "Catch that sissy, that's the one Mr. Tang wants!" ”
There was a sudden silence on the dock, and everyone began to look around.
"Mr. Tang?"
"Is it Mr. Tang's order? That's sure to be a great reward! ”
Seeing this, Jakes Sparrow was shocked, and quickly stopped his movements, blending in with the crowd, and shouted while looking around like everyone else, "Where's the sissy?" ”
Immediately, he saw the eyes of the people around him focus on him.
“......”
