An old seven-star tanta sailed into the port of Havana without even attracting the attention of the tax official. 【Read the latest chapter】
He just looked at the corn kernels in wooden barrels on the boat, asked for a silver coin from the young boat owner, and then waved his boat to the corner of the pier to make room for the big boat behind it. place to come. The cargo on the ship was piled scattered there, and the barrels were still branded with San Diego labels. Thousands of barrels of this kind of food were shipped from there every day. Food was not valuable, and taxes were very low to ensure Havana's food supply. This became the main transportation commodity for the small ship owners.
The young shipowner tied the boat to a wooden stake, registered his cargo with the port authority, and then took his Indian slaves to wander around the Havana port area.
"Helen's Bar", without the illumination of night lights, this dilapidated small bar looks even more inconspicuous.
It might have been daytime when Misha took Lu Yuan inside. There was almost no one in the bar. "Go and order me a glass of wine and bring me some food. My servant." Misha instructed Lu Yuan with a smile, and he chose a seat next to him and sat down.
"Follow your orders, boss." Wearing clothes with Indian characteristics, Lu Yuan agreed with a teasing smile, then went to the bar and ordered a lot of things for the two of them.
The bar owner Helen was a little surprised when she met Lu Yuan for the first time. This servant was obviously very knowledgeable. He ordered all the delicious and inexpensive things in the bar... But Helen felt that it was obviously the first time she met him and his master.
"Introduced by an acquaintance? Your master seems to be a generous guy!" Looking at the large pile of food, Helen's boss sighed with emotion. The thin young man didn't seem to be able to eat so much. He obviously intended to let his Indian slaves enjoy it.
"These are the key points explained by an acquaintance. Maybe you still remember? My boss's sister, Misha, once worked as a barmaid at your place..." Lu Yuan picked up a large pile of food and staggered back. While he was on the boat, he could barely eat any food, which made him really hungry. Coming here from Port-au-Prince is not as close as Trinidad. Lu Yuan drove for two whole days.
"Really? Wow~ Can I get to know your master?" Helen followed him with bright eyes, "You said he is Misha's brother? They look really alike! Hi! Hello! I am...oh, your sister's...oh..."
Lu Yuan put down the big plate. Without hesitation, he grabbed a large piece of grilled seafood and put it into his mouth. It seemed to be something like a shell. Lu Yuan's cooking skills did not involve marine life, especially most of the marine life that has become extinct in the 21st century. So he didn't recognize it. But...just like Helen's boss said, wow~it's so delicious!
Eating good food always makes people feel happy, think about it. Even Nana likes delicious food, but Lu Yuan doesn't like eating after cultivating immortality. Express disdain! Great desires in life.
"Come on! You son of a bitch!" Facing the boss Helen with an exaggerated expression, Misha directly changed into a female voice. "Don't tell me you didn't recognize it! Damn you."
"Haha," Helen happily rubbed her hands on her apron, "Welcome back! Misha, I have always been in your position...damn it!" He saw a rotating ball suddenly appear on the tip of Misha's finger. Gold coins, he cursed angrily! Misha can easily take out gold coins, obviously she won't continue to work with him. "Then you are coming back this time?"
"Hey Helen, don't act stupid." Misha covered her forehead helplessly. An old boss from the past is pretending to be senile; a current man is eating like a starving man... He can't live this life!
"Okay", Helen had no choice but to put away her smiling face, "It seems that you are in a lot of trouble. Recently, several groups of people have been eyeing your residence. If I were you..." He shook his head, "No. I will go back again. You were right to come to my place first! You know, old Helen must be trustworthy!"
"So, how is that Edward? He's the one I asked you about before." The reason why Misha didn't take Lu Yuan directly home was because several days had passed and the news should have been sent back long ago. There was no news at home. Not safe. The first thing she cares about is how her brother is doing, and the second thing she cares about is the good food at home that she can't finish.
"The guy you have a crush on? Haha, that guy is an unlucky guy! It is said that he made a great contribution when Morgan attacked, but he was swallowed by someone and pushed another person out."
"Then... where is Edward now?!" Misha asked hurriedly.
"I heard that he left with Morgan!" Helen broke another shocking news, "I heard that Morgan was beaten to a terrible state by him when he attacked, so his commanding ability was recognized by Morgan! So! , after Morgan knew that he was unlucky, he spent a lot of money to get him out. Almost everyone in the port knew about this! It is said that after Governor Leblanc knew about the little actions of the people below, he smashed several wine glasses for Edward!
Misha, you have a really good eye for men! "He turned his mouth to Lu Yuan. As a chef, he admired Lu Yuan's eating style very much! When Misha looked at that man, she couldn't restrain her lingering friendship. Helen had to take one look at it. Understood.
"Ah!" Misha let out a long breath, covered her face with her hands, propped her elbows on the table, and lowered her head sadly. She couldn't return home and lost contact with her relatives... This made her very depressed. As soon as I thought that I was no longer worried. I may not set foot in Havana again for many years and experience the excitement of being a pirate. Gradually it was replaced by sadness.
This time the stolen goods were sold in Port-au-Prince with the help of Misha's "magic trick". It became surprisingly smooth. As long as the marks of various merchants are erased with magic, these goods can be treated as ordinary goods and sold out at a slightly lower price! In a big port like Port-au-Prince, it’s easy to load just two ships of goods.
Therefore, their harvest this time was much greater than expected, and Misha also received more pesos.
She wanted to hand over the note worth 20,000 pesos to Edward in her pocket. Edward, who had been working hard to revive the family, must be very happy! But……
"Don't worry," a gentle big hand placed on her head, "Edward is a real nobleman!" Lu Yuan stretched out his left hand. Holding Misha in his arms, "For the honor of the family, it is impossible for him to become a pirate. Morgan is a very conceited person. For Edward, he will definitely try his best to get him to take refuge. Then, he will probably recommend Edward Give it to the governor of a certain British port...it shouldn't be difficult to find him. We just have to follow him then...and it's a good thing that he returns to England to serve, the future ocean belongs to Britain!"
Misha lay quietly in his arms, and after a while, she said something faintly. "Can't you stop eating while you're hugging me?!"
Lu Yuan was holding a big crab claw to his mouth. Hearing Misha's words, he could only stop in embarrassment. But he held up a crab claw. It looks even funnier. Your sister! This is so delicious! How does he make these ordinary seafood so good? !
"You really like it?" Misha raised her head slightly from his arms and looked at him curiously with her blue eyes. Misha felt that maybe she had eaten it too many times since she was a child, but she just felt very accustomed to the taste. It didn't feel particularly delicious.
Lu Yuan nodded.
"Hey! Shaman! Do you want to get on the boat? We need a good cook!" Misha shouted directly to Helen who returned to the counter.
"Come on, Misha. Stop making fun of the elderly. You know what I want, that's a lot of money... Oh. Jesus! You dug into LeBron's vault?!" He looked at the piece of paper in front of him that said Holding the 20,000 pesos receipt, my heart almost jumped out of my chest!
A few days later, outside a small manor outside Havana, Helen walked with them with tears that had not yet been wiped away.
Helen's boss was also a captain when he was young. It's just his misfortune that when he drove his ship to sea for the first time, he took a shortcut and accidentally ran into a rare big storm. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he was burdened with a huge debt, as well as more than two dozen orphans and widows left behind after the crew members died.
Later, he opened a small bar and worked hard to pay off his debts while helping the more than 20 families.
Of all the memories about the ocean, only the cooking of seafood and the steering wheel hanging on the door panel of the bar reminded him of memories that he could not forget.
But today, after paying off his debts and settling down more than 20 families, he felt so relaxed for the first time.
Back to sea again? Seems pretty good too!
…
"Wait, that's our ship, what are they doing?". Misha said pointing to where they parked the boat.
Lu Yuan, who was thinking about something, looked up and showed a complicated expression that made him laugh or cry. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go around to the back and listen to what's going on first."
The three men walked around the house and approached several men standing in front of his tantar boat.
"Dragon Dog, are you really sure that this is the ship?!" a boy's voice said.
That's right, standing in front of the boat is the former tax soldier Dragon Dog (Doug Lahe) and his few close friends. The one who is talking at this time is the one who seems to be the smartest and the one who likes to joke the most. Freckled boy. "We will resign with you. We don't want to become another joke..."
"Don't worry, Connor! Don't worry, friends! I guarantee this is the smuggler's ship! I saw him get off this ship with my own eyes. Although he did take advantage of my kindness and deceived me twice, But don’t think about hiding this pair of eyes from my Dragon Dog forever!" Dragon Dog explained to his friends sincerely.
"Okay," the boy named Connor was the first to agree, "Then what should we do? Report to Chief Charles?"
"No! I don't have the face to see him now! If he salutes me, I would rather jump off the Moro Fortress!" Dragon Dog looked extremely frustrated! "Okay, guys. Let's go up like this and check what's missing. Let's prepare what we need... I really hope to leave Havana soon, I can't stay here for even a moment! Thank you! Thank you for accompanying me Hold on to me, otherwise I really can’t get rid of this big guy by myself!”
He patted the bow of the ship leaning against the shore. Even though it was just a small seven-star ship with a load of three tons, it was still a sea ship, and it was still tall for one person. "Now, go up! Don't worry about the smuggler. He will run away when he sees me. He owes me a boat... Oh, that boat looks similar to this one, no! It's just like the same one! Oh my god. Ah, Xiao Kou, go and look under the boat right away!"
He suddenly took back the hand that was touching the boat, as if it would sink if he touched it again.
Long Dog and his friends were busy shouting and yelling, leaving Lu Yuan and the three of them dumbfounded. Misha looked at Lu Yuan helplessly and punched him. "You always like to play tricks! Now we have to find another ship to Port-au-Prince."
"Not bad!" Helen, who had come out of the past, joked somewhat relaxedly, "At least it's not this ship you want me to be the chef on. I bet there's no kitchen on it."
Lu Yuan touched his chin and felt fate. It’s so amazing! If nothing unexpected happened, he remembered that Dragon Dog’s girlfriend seemed to be Elizabeth’s best friend Helena? Ah...the prototype of the thing. He almost guessed it! How interesting!
"Let's keep watching!" Lu Yuan thumped his hands excitedly, "I guarantee it with a man's seventh sense. There is a good show here!"
After working for a while, several friends gathered on the deck again.
"There is about five or six days of water and food. There is no shortage of anything else. I think this ship can go to sea at any time..." Connor explained the storage situation on the ship in detail. Several young people really Listen.
It sounds like Connor is the one who understands navigation best among them.
"But shouldn't there be cannons? What if we encounter pirates?" Someone expressed his worries.
"What are you afraid of!" Connor interrupted with a smile, "We have a dragon dog! You know, he rushed into the sea single-handedly, slaughtered fifty pirates, and even snatched back a Galen sailboat!"
"Please stop teasing me! Xiao Kou." Long Dog depressedly pulled down his helmet and covered his face. "God knows whose victory they blamed on me... When my father called me Charge Commander, I wished he could strangle me with a rope!"
"Okay, I apologize!" Connor raised his hand to indicate that he had gone too far, and then explained to his other friends, "Generally, no pirates would be willing to take action on this kind of small ship, because there is too little oil and water, and they prefer merchant ships. And our ship is too small to be equipped with any artillery. If you are worried, bring your halberd, but if you really encounter pirates, my suggestion is... let them rob them as they please, don't resist !”
But at this time, no one listened to him.
Other friends, everyone is winking at Long Dog, "Dragon Dog" "Dragon Dog, your goddess is here." "Haha, go quickly..."
When Dragon Dog turned back from the ship, he saw Elizabeth's best friend Helena, the daughter of the commander of the Caribbean Navy of the Spanish Empire, standing beside a wooden house under the ship, looking at him with a sad expression. The originally beautiful eyes were now swollen from crying and became thin, obviously from crying again just now.
"Go quickly, Dragon Dog! Oh no, Captain." Connor smiled and pushed the embarrassed Dragon Dog.
"Okay, I will appoint Xiao Kou as the first mate. You will be responsible for the preparations before going to sea. I will be back soon!" Dragon Dog pushed Kou Na, jumped off the ship, and strode towards Helena.
The two crazy men and resentful women looked at each other quietly in front of the cabin. Without even noticing, there were three people watching the scene just behind the wooden house as if they were watching a play.
"Do you really want to leave me?" Helena couldn't help but shed tears as she spoke. Although she has always played the role of a sister, at this moment, she looks like a weak little girl who has been bullied.
Instead, Dragon Dog, who was standing upright with a decision in his mind, seemed to have suddenly grown up several years.
"I'm not leaving you..." Dragon Dog shook his head in denial. He reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Nene's cheeks. Rubbing his fingers gently on it, "I'm just leaving Havana temporarily. Nene. I will come back, as long as..."
"Don't leave!" Helena shook her head violently, holding the hand that Dragon Dog was stroking her cheek with both hands, "Don't leave! Don't leave, okay?! I promise to let them cancel all the awards. !The promotion is also cancelled! I don’t care that you are a little patrolman, dog, I really don’t care!
And I promise I'm just letting Edward give you some of the credit! You know, he and I had some sort of relationship, barely a friend of a friend. But...it's all the fault of that bastard McLaren that things have gotten to this point! He didn't know where he found it, and he placed all the credit on you! That's it. This is..."
At this point, even Helena felt embarrassed. Her face turned red and her voice sounded like a mosquito, "That's why I promoted you to Commodore..."
Among the three people behind, Lu Yuan, who had excellent hearing, was the only one who could hear clearly and almost spit out his voice! Commodore? ! Helena's father, the commander-in-chief of the entire Spanish fleet in the Caribbean, is the vice-admiral... Is this the rhythm of asking his son-in-law to be the deputy commander? !
There is no doubt that such a ridiculous order must have been made by Helena who was anxious to marry her lover - but that's it. She's now passing it off to a very unlucky guy who's going down on his luck, Mr. McLaren.
Girls, thank you for your hard work!
Misha didn't hear clearly and shook Lu Yuan desperately. Lu Yuan had no choice but to retell it. As a result, Misha, who was laughing wildly, had to bite Lu Yuan's shoulder hard to stop herself from making any sound. Even Helen’s boss had to bite his hand and couldn’t stop laughing!
That's the Commodore!
Pay a small boat to watch such a wonderful show. It’s so worth it!
Long Gou covered his face, he really didn't want to hear the word of that title! When his immediate boss saluted him. He just wanted to find a cliff to jump off or a beach to get into. And he will never come out for the rest of his life. After taking a few deep breaths, he solemnly held Helena's shoulders and looked into her eyes with the most sincere eyes, "Nene, listen to me, okay? Nene!"
"Yeah." She was extremely shy under his burning eyes, but Helena couldn't bear to look away.
"Nene, I know Edward, although we are not friends. In the Guard, everyone knows Edward, just like... everyone knows me, we are both people who grew up in Havana. Of course," he shrugged Shrugging his shoulders, "The whole of Havana knows me now. No, no, no need..." He pressed his finger to Helena's lips, "Please don't stop me, I'm not blaming you, Nene. I've never blamed you. Let me finish my words, this is what a boy who has just understood love wants to say to his lover."
Friends were all far away, and Dragon Dog boldly said words that made both of them blush.
"Edward has become a hero! Although he did not receive any awards for it, his friends and his girls are all proud of him!"
(Lu Yuan covered Misha’s mouth to stop the little girl from rushing out to ask who “Edward’s girl” was!
"On the contrary, I, who had stolen his credit, could not stand up straight in the Guards - my friends laughed at me, my father was disappointed in me, and more people who were saved by Edward... they hated me! I There is no pride, only a deep sense of loss, feeling that I am a thief. My girl will not be proud of me, and that is the difference! Nene, that is the difference!
I grew up! Nene, although I hope to be called 'dog' by you all my life, I am already a man! I hope to grow up to be a man like my father, I hope to be able to carry the entire sky! I hope to do something great! I hope my Nene, my father, and my friends can be proud of me! Be proud of the real accomplishments that the real me has made!
Even more, I hope that one day I can stand in front of Edward and say to him, I'm sorry! As equals! Quite an achievement! "
Dragon Dog said, thinking of the days he was suffering in hell during this period, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Helena even cried so hard.
Dragon Dog kissed him without saying anything...
On the pier, Helena, who had regained her strength, hid at the edge of the wooden house and watched as Long Dog untied the cable and jumped onto the Tanta sailboat.
Although he also wanted to have a handsome farewell... actually. Their first trip to sea was a complete mess - the sails and ropes got tangled up as they tried to hold off the shore. It hit another merchant ship next to it... So he and his friends are now busy dealing with it.
Even Helena on the shore was embarrassed by their appearance. He was so amused that he burst out laughing, which made the pain of parting a little less severe.
"Hey! You guys hit my 'Alenheim'!" A clear voice came, which made several busy friends on the boat couldn't help but raise their heads, looking for where this pleasant voice came from. .
"Look here! You rude guys!" The pleasant voice reprimanded in an even more rude manner, making the young man unable to help but feel angry. But when they raised their heads, they saw the man on the big boat next to him wearing emerald green clothes and an emerald green hat with a white feather swaying on it. When he saw the lively girl, everyone opened their mouths in surprise.
They all seemed to be thinking in unison, "So beautiful, really beautiful!" The faces of several teenagers turned red.
Seeing their embarrassment, the girl laughed wildly and banged the boat bang. The branches were shaking so wildly that the boys were worried that she would fall. Her laughter was clear and lively, spreading far across the pier, making everyone who heard it feel happy.
The teenagers looked at each other and couldn't help but guess. Why is such a beautiful girl doing on a boat? Come to play? Are you from Havana? Why haven't you seen it before?
"Lilu~!" A man's voice sounded helpless from inside the ship. "Don't make fun of others, and don't cause trouble."
"I know. I know!" The girl named Lilu yelled twice in the direction of the ship in dissatisfaction, and then complained in a loud voice, "Obviously they hit my 'Alenheim'. "
"That. I apologize!" As the captain, Long Dog had no choice but to stand up and take responsibility. He apologized to the girl and wiped the hit area twice with his sleeve. But the "Alenheim" looks a bit old. But the materials used to build the ship are obviously very good, and there are no traces of collision at all.
"This is our first time going to sea...you know, there is some confusion." Long Dog explained a little.
"Well, I see! Are you the captain?" The girl Lilu nodded vigorously and comforted her with a very senior level, "It's the same for the first time I go to sea, and I'm almost the same! It'll be fine when you get used to it. Then I'll take the test Test you, have you brought food and water? Do you know the weather in the past few days? Are the ballast stones ready? Where are the fruits and rum? Storm lamps?..."
Longgou nodded one by one. He and his friends checked these together. The girl was indeed a veteran of navigation. "You are so amazing, you know so much!" Longgou said with admiration.
"Of course! I am as familiar with the sea as my hometown!" Lilu raised her chin proudly, "Do you like sailing?"
"Of course! My dad is a sailor, he is the most legendary stormtrooper captain in Havana! Are you... from Havana? Have I never seen you before? You know, in Havana, they usually don't allow women on ships!"
"That's fallacy!" the girl accused with her equally beautiful green eyes, "I'm a European, and it's my first time in the New World. Over there, women can do anything a man can do!"
"But we can pee standing up!" Young Connor disagreed.
The girl made a disdainful expression, glanced at him cutely, and said two words through her nose, "Childish!"
The Xiaokou is confirmed to have sunk...
"Doug, you can call me Long Gou. Nice to meet you!" Long Gou introduced himself, changing the topic and making Xiao Kou less embarrassed.
"Lilu Agot, I am the boss of the Agot Chamber of Commerce! The captain of the Alenheim! You can call me Captain Agot!" The girl announced heroically with her head held high!
"Okay, so awesome!" Dragon Dog opened his mouth and looked at the proud girl with admiration. So young, he is actually the captain of a big ship and the owner of a merchant! Coming from far away Europe... all this is like a dream and legend!
"Dragon dog! I want to get on the boat!" A woman who had been watching them "flirting" and their relationship "heating up rapidly" couldn't help but ran out and shouted at the boat!
The ship went to sea, and Helena was arranged to rest in the captain's cabin. Several tired teenagers sat back to back on the deck, looking at the vast sea, and couldn't help but feel satisfied!
"Drink! You must drink rum at this time!" Several people were making noises, and some people ran to the bottom warehouse to look for the rum that Lu Yuan kept there.
"Thank you!" Staying on the deck, Dragon Dog quietly bumped Xiao Kou with his elbow and thanked him in a low voice, "If it weren't for your method, Nene would definitely not be willing to elope with me... Then It will be like what my dad said - even if you become famous and find that the woman has changed her mind when you come back, then the achievement is still of no use!"
"Haha... what can I do?" Xiao Kou spread his hands in confusion.
"Is that what you said yesterday? Hire a woman to chat intimately with me and make Nene crazy with jealousy. Then she will get on the boat desperately... I thought you were joking at the time! I didn't expect you to really do it. !What a good brother!”
"But I am indeed joking..." Xiao Kou replied.
The two looked at each other for a long time, then held their heads and bumped together!
"In other words, that beautiful angel-like girl was really chatting happily with me before?! Why should I let Nene on the boat!!!" (To be continued...)
