The two of them walked in tandem like this for about a quarter of an hour. Then Zhang Heng saw the young woman in front of him suddenly ducking into an alley, so he also quickened his pace and caught up.
However, before he could reach the alley, he saw a figure rushing out of it. It was a guy with red hair, like a burning flame. He was holding a thin sword in his hand. There were blood stains on it.
Zhang Heng remembered what Fraser had said before that he had found another person for help, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart. He no longer hid his figure, and rushed to the alley as fast as he could, and saw someone lying on the ground inside. Randall's sister-in-law, but fortunately she was only knocked unconscious and her life was not in danger. However, another man next to her who was suspected of being Jacob was not so lucky. He was directly stabbed to the core and stared at His eyes were wide open, and he looked like he was dead.
Zhang Heng just glanced at it and ran towards the guy holding the sword without stopping.
At this time, the latter also realized that he was being targeted, and sprinted through the crowd. His stature was shorter than that of ordinary people, so he was more flexible, and he specialized in squeezing through crowded places, like a swimming fish.
But unfortunately, his red hair was too conspicuous, and it was difficult to cover it up no matter how hard he tried. Moreover, he also chose the wrong strategy. He wanted to use his excellent physical strength to exhaust the opponent. However, after a quarter of an hour, he himself was too tired. He was panting, but the guy behind him looked unchanged and didn't seem to be sweating much.
Zhang Heng had persisted in long-distance running for such a long time, and it finally came in handy. Seeing that the other party was willing to use up his energy, he didn't stop him. He clearly had the opportunity to rush forward to catch the person, but he just hung back leisurely and kept holding on. About ten steps away.
The red-haired guy also realized that continuing like this was not an option, so he started to run to a less crowded place, and finally came to a rocky beach and stood still.
There was no one in this area, so it was perfect for a duel. He turned around and looked at Zhang Heng with an unfriendly expression, "What is your relationship with that thief? Are you his accomplice?"
Only then did Zhang Heng notice that the guy he was chasing turned out to be a girl. She looked young, only sixteen or seventeen years old, but her dress was no different from other men in the city, and she was just like any other man in the city. In terms of personality, she is also very close to men, even more direct than most men. Although she is asking a question, she has already grasped the blood-stained thin sword at her waist.
Zhang Heng had no choice but to draw out his short musket and let the other party calm down, "Sorry, I was entrusted by Fraser to help him find a bag of lost pearls."
"The old bastard also asked someone else besides me for help?" The red-haired girl showed a suspicious look when she heard this, and then looked at someone with more vigilance, "Then what are you going to do, from me? Are you going to take things away again?"
"Actually... there is a solution that can get the best of both worlds."
…………
The old pirate was enjoying his dinner - a piece of grilled lamb chops with lemon juice. The next moment a small blue money bag was thrown on his table, and black pearls scattered from the open mouth of the bag.
Fraser looked up and saw the two people standing in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face, "Really or not, when did you get involved?"
"Why, we have retrieved the things for you as per your request within the stipulated time. Do you have any opinions?" the red-haired girl said in a bad tone. The old pirate had previously entrusted her to recover the pearls, but who knew that in the blink of an eye it would happen again? After finding someone else, it was made clear that they didn't trust her ability, so her discomfort was not unreasonable. One hand was already on the thin sword at her waist, and it looked like she would take action if she disagreed.
Fraser raised his eyebrows, "Anger, in a sense, is also a good thing. Proper use of your anger will make you stronger, but if you really want me to find you a ship to become a pirate, It's best to restrain your temper, otherwise something will happen sooner or later if this continues."
"I would rather die fighting like a warrior than live hiding under a girl's skirt like a coward." The red-haired girl said proudly.
"A very impressive speech. Although I don't completely agree with this statement, just this sentence is worth a drink, isn't it?" The old pirate raised his glass.
"Where's our reward?" Zhang Heng asked instead of picking up the cup in front of him.
Fraser waved and asked Zhang Heng to come close to his ear. After a while, Zhang Heng frowned and said, "So you never told him about this?"
"It's for his own good that I don't tell him. Isn't his life pretty good now?"
"No, you don't tell him just because you don't want to lose your sail length."
"Well, this is indeed one reason, but fortunately I don't have this worry now." Frey crossed his legs and said leisurely, he took out a toy wooden horse from his arms and put it on the table, "Take this thing Show it to him and he will believe you, but make sure you tell him the final location after he teaches you the technique. That old fox has never been a kind and trustworthy guy. If he runs away early, you will have to search all over Nassau. You couldn't find a better teacher to teach you sail control."
…………
Zhang Heng and the red-haired girl walked out of the tavern. The latter seemed to be in a good mood. She had just received a letter of recommendation recommending her to take up a position on the Golden Swallow. Although she was just an ordinary sailor, it was not easy. Because most pirates do not allow women to board ships.
As for the pirate group composed entirely of women, that is a scene that can only appear in movies and comics. It is undeniable that there are many powerful characters among women, but in terms of physical strength and strength, except for a few talented people, most of them are Far inferior to men, this will be more obvious in boarding battles. If they catch up with a ship full of people, the outcome will be even more tragic.
Things here have come to an end. Zhang Heng was about to shake hands with the red-haired girl and say goodbye. Unexpectedly, the latter was the first to speak, "Hey, Oriental, do you have a place to live on this island?"
"Um?"
"As you can see, not long after I came here, I had a falling out with my companion this morning. To put it simply, I have nowhere to go now." The red-haired girl shrugged, "I originally wanted to look inside That old bastard borrowed money, but everyone on the island said that he had a dark heart and was a vampire. If you can lend me a place to make do, I am willing to give you half of the loot I got from my first voyage. What do you think of this deal, oh by the way, I don’t think I’ve introduced myself yet, my name is Annie, I’m from County Cork, Ireland.”
