This was the first time Zhang Heng heard this word from those pirates.
His main mission this time was to establish a foothold in Nassau and form his own force. Of course, he wanted to know more about that place. However, before he could speak, another strong feeling of nausea rushed to his forehead. Zhang Heng couldn't help but open his mouth. mouth, holding the barrel tightly in his arms, feeling like he was going to vomit out his stomach.
Goodwin stood up and patted his back, "You should go to bed early. You will feel better after a sleep. I won't disturb you anymore."
Zhang Heng also realized that his current state was indeed very bad, not only physically, but also mentally. He could not concentrate on thinking at all. He had originally made an appointment with Marvin to dispose of the contents in the barrel at night. Corpse, but in his current state he definitely won't be able to do this anymore.
Zhang Heng felt as if he had been thrown into a drum washing machine. The whole world was rolling and shaking. He vomited and vomited while holding the wooden bucket. He kept tossing until late at night before falling asleep in a daze. , opened his eyes again and saw a familiar face.
"Are you awake?" Marvin said excitedly. As he spoke, he picked up the food on the other side. "I made fish soup for you. I used the fish I just caught this morning, which is just for you. body."
There was concern in the eyes of the farmer's son, as if he was sincerely hoping that he would get well soon.
Zhang Heng glanced at the bowl of fish soup and the biscuits next to it but did not touch it. Instead, he asked, "Why are you here?"
"Oh, Goodwin told Mr. Owen about your illness. Mr. Owen asked if there was anyone willing to take care of you, so I signed up voluntarily. Anyway, I don't have anything else to do after cooking two meals a day. "
Marvin seemed to know that Zhang Heng didn't trust him very much. After speaking, he picked up the bowl of fish soup and took a big sip. He also took a bite of the biscuits next to him. While chewing, he said aggrievedly, "You don't have to treat me like this." Be careful, we were all in the same boat before, and now it’s just you, me, Bruce, and Kenny. At times like this, shouldn’t we all work together?”
When Malvin said this, he looked around furtively and made sure no one was nearby before lowering his voice and saying quickly, "They searched the entire ship again this morning, looking for the guy named Vic, but fortunately The kitchen has not been inspected very much, so what should I do? Will they investigate us again in the future?"
Zhang Heng took a sip of fish soup and glanced at Malvin. He didn't know if it was his imagination. He felt that the latter's acting skills had improved a lot compared to before. The farmer's son couldn't hide things on his face at first, but now Zhang Heng I found it hard to tell what he was thinking.
Sure enough, the harsher the environment, the more it can accelerate a person's growth?
However, Zhang Heng knew very well that Malvin was a completely unreliable person. What happened before had proved that his selfishness was rooted deep in his heart and could not be changed. He only had eyes for himself. As long as he had the chance, he would He would not hesitate to betray the people around him in exchange for a better life, but for now, the interests of the two are temporarily aligned.
Because the corpse in Zhang Heng's last-hitting barrel has become a common worry for them, Malvern can only count on him to get rid of the corpse quickly. Before that, he didn't want Zhang Heng to have any problems.
However, things didn't work out as expected. Zhang Heng started to vomit not long after he drank the fish soup and rested for a short time. In the next week, he spent the next week in this over and over again. He lost a lot of weight. Some people even thought that he was There's no way I can survive this.
There are too many similar things. Due to poor sanitary conditions, people often contracted diseases when going to sea. With the medical level at that time, even if there were ship doctors, it would be difficult to save them.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Zhang Heng was able to withstand it all with amazing perseverance. However, when he was able to step off the hammock and no longer be affected by the bumps and winds, he only weighed just over a hundred kilograms.
"My God, you look like a landlubber who has never been to the sea, but how is this possible?" Goodwin asked in surprise, "Didn't you already wander at sea for a month and a half?"
"It's a long story." Zhang Heng got out of bed with the help of the gunner and came to the deck. He breathed in the fresh air greedily. It felt good to be reborn. Zhang Heng never thought that one day It would be a luxury for him to even look at the sun above his head. He had stayed in the dark sailor's cabin for so long that he had almost forgotten what the outside world was like.
"But no matter what, you are welcome back, my friend." Goodwin saw Malvin looking over not far away, paused and said, "I remembered, I don't seem to have given my Weapon maintenance, we’ll talk later.”
When Goodwin walked away, the farmer's son walked over quickly, with a trace of anxiety on his face. As soon as he saw him, he hurriedly said, "Thank God you finally woke up. You don't know what I've done these days." How did it all come here? Every time someone passes by the kitchen door, I'm always on tenterhooks. The thing in the barrel has been there for too long, and now it's... I don't know how to describe the smell. In fact, if it wasn't covered by those smoked fish, It should have aroused suspicion, and I just heard a sailor say that we can see land in about three days. What will happen to the thing in the barrel then? If we are discovered, the two of us may become the shortest-lived people in history. of pirates.”
"I can fully understand the difficulties you are facing now, but you have already survived so many days and you probably don't care about waiting another day. With my current physical condition, I can't do anything even if I want to. I'll wait until tomorrow night. Finally, I can't do anything." Let's solve this problem together tomorrow night," Zhang Heng said.
Although Malvin was anxious, he also knew that Zhang Heng was telling the truth. According to the original plan of the two of them, they should have dealt with this hidden danger ten days ago, but no one expected that Zhang Heng would start to get seasick along the way. We are about to reach land, and there will be many people there, and if we don’t have enough safety, there will be trouble. "
Malvin had no better way, so he could only nod. In fact, if he had the courage, he could have thrown the body into the sea alone during these days, but the fear in his heart eventually defeated his courage, and he always had the courage in his heart. There is also a sense of resentment. Zhang Heng obviously killed the person, but now the result requires both of them to bear the risk.
It made him feel extremely frustrated.
