"That's great! The first time I went out to sea to participate in a battle, I ended up staying in the cabin with a pile of potatoes. After listening to a few cannons, everything was over. Now everyone is having a big meal over there to celebrate the victory of the battle, and we're here serving them." Harry complained as he spun a whole roasted lamb over the campfire.
"Didn't you already eat two grilled fish in advance?" Ramsey, the cook, said as he brushed seasonings on the whole roasted lamb.
"It's not the same. Eating alone and celebrating with everyone are two different things. Damn it, I want to be there too." Harry looked at the lively pirates on the other side, his eyes full of envy.
When he turned around, he heard Ramsey's reminder. "Turn it again."
Harry sighed and turned the roasted lamb on the shelf again.
Ramsey continued to brush the seasonings slowly. Harry rolled his eyes. "Mr. Ramsey, have you heard? The gold is now soaking in the bottom of the sea, not far from us."
"So what?"
"Don't you want to go and have a look?" Harry asked. "I haven't seen so much gold yet. If I can get two gold bars from it …"
"Don't even think about it. There are people patrolling the place now. The captains have reached an agreement that each ship will send one person to supervise each other. They will change shifts every two hours to prevent anyone from stealing the gold bars." Ramsey paused. "And didn't you always want to stay on the ship and become an official crew member? There are rules on the ship that forbid stealing and hiding loot. Well, hold this leg and let me put some honey on it. "
"Forget it. That woman just wants to drive me off the ship. She thinks I can't see it. She deliberately arranged for me to clean the toilet and help me in the kitchen and other jobs that I don't like. She just wants me to go back and get off the ship." Harry pursed his lips in the direction of Anne, feeling a little disheartened. "I call her my boss and cheer for her when she fights."
"I think she's doing it for your own good. Well, change another leg."
"Yeah, everyone says that," Harry said absent-mindedly. Harry said absent-mindedly. Then he rolled his eyes again and suddenly clutched his stomach and cried, "Ah, no, I seem to have a stomachache. No, no, I have to go to the toilet."
Harry let go of the roasted lamb leg in his hand and quickly slipped away without waiting for Ramsey's reply.
The chef's face showed a touch of helplessness, but he also knew that Harry was in a bad mood tonight. He was probably stimulated by the laughter in the distance, so he turned a blind eye to Harry's blatant laziness.
Harry did not go in the direction of the sunken Spanish treasure ship. He said that he was going to fish for gold in a fit of pique. Even if there were no patrols, he would not be able to fish for gold. He was not a good swimmer, and he could not dive that deep. Besides, there was nothing on the beach that blocked his view, so he could see what he was doing.
Harry had no specific destination. He wandered aimlessly into the depths of the island, trying to stay away from the crowd.
After walking for a while, he had no idea where he was. The trees on Parrot Island were lush, and every part of the island looked the same. Harry began to worry that he might get lost, so he chose a direction and kept walking. An hour later, he finally saw the sea again.
Harry took a deep breath of the sea breeze and relaxed a little. But then he realized that he was on the other side of Parrot Island, and he could not help but curse his bad luck.
If he followed the coastline back to where he came from, it would take him another two hours. By the time he got back, it would be late at night. If that was the case, he would have gone for wool and come home shorn.
The more Harry thought about it, the angrier he became. The people on the beach were probably still happily eating roasted lamb and drinking rum. None of them had noticed that he was gone. The feeling of being ignored by the whole world pissed him off. He kicked a pebble away in frustration. Mu Guang followed the pebble, but the next moment, he froze.
He saw a small boat.
Harry rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken. It was indeed a small boat, with about seven people on board. They were paddling away in the night.
Harry felt a little strange. Except for the patrol boat, all the pirates were celebrating the success of the operation on the beach.
This was not the shipwreck site, and the number of people on the boat did not match what Ramsey said. This was obviously not the patrol boat. Where did these people come from? Were there other people on the island? And where were they going in such a hurry?
The more Harry thought about it, the stranger he felt. He realized that he should tell Zhang Heng and Anne about it.
So he took two more steps forward, wanting to take a closer look, but the next moment, he was pushed from behind. Harry let out a scream and fell down the cliff.
… …
On the other side, Anne drank another pirate who came to challenge her. After that, she looked back and could not help but frown. She put down the glass in her hand and walked in front of Ramsey. The latter was very busy at the moment. He had roasted two sheep and a dozen hares. He was so busy that he was sweating profusely.
"Why are you the only one here? Where's Harry? Is he slacking off again?"
"He said he ate something bad and went to the toilet," Ramsey said truthfully. But then he hesitated and added, "He's been gone for a while. To be honest, I'm a little worried about him."
"What's there to worry about? That guy must be slacking off. I've asked the people on the other ships. There are no beasts on this island, and we are the only ones here. What danger could he be in?"
"That's true, but it's night now. I'm worried that he might get lost on the island because he can't see clearly."
"Oh, with that guy's IQ, it's indeed possible," Anne nodded.
Zhang Heng walked over, "What's wrong?"
"Harry is missing. I'm going to look for him in the woods." The red-haired girl moved her wrist as she spoke, cracking her knuckles. "He better pray that I don't find him."
"I'll go with him," Zhang Heng said. "No matter what, he's still on our ship."
"That's why I don't want to take him out to sea. This guy is always up to no good."
The two then went to look for Billy, asking him to pick a dozen crew members who didn't drink too much tonight. Then, they searched the island together.
