Whether Salazar is good or bad, who wins or loses between the pirates and the pirate anti-smuggling captain has nothing to do with Wang Xu.
After getting the Fountain of Youth and the Compass of Desire, the world of Pirates of the Caribbean has been drained of all its profits. Only when Wang Xu is full will he help Jack fight against Salazar. This is a completely thankless task, and the reward is not rewarded.
Proportional.
After blasting away Jack and Will, Wang Xu gathered his robot army and used the shuttle door to return to modern times.
Three days later, he returned to the world of Pirates of the Caribbean. By this time, the gun battle had long ended, and it was still unclear who would win and who would lose.
Wang Xu did not inquire about Jack and Blackbeard, but took the time to go to the countryside of London, intending to fulfill his agreement with Zakro.
"Dong dong dong...Is anyone there?" According to the address given by Zacro, Wang Xu found his home in the countryside near London.
"Who is it?"
The door opened, and a sturdy middle-aged woman appeared in front of Wang Xu.
This is a typical English country woman, with a big waist and a round waist. She wears a scarf on her head. She is not as strong as a man. She is holding a pile of starched clothes in her hands.
"Is this Zacro's home? I brought his greetings." While the woman looked at him, Wang Xu was also looking at the surrounding environment.
This is a rural town. England in the Age of Discovery was far less developed than later generations, and most of the people living here were poor.
At first glance, there are many children playing on the street, and occasionally women and old people pass by. On the contrary, adult men are rare here, because everyone is either going to be sailors or going to work in Chengli. Only the ruffians will stay.
The family is eating and waiting to die.
"Come in, sir, I haven't heard from Zacro for a long time. I'm going to get you a cup of tea. You can talk slowly." The woman opened the door and invited Wang Xu in.
Just as Wang Xu was about to lift his feet to go in, he found a puppy surrounding his legs and biting his trouser legs.
Bending slightly, Wang Xu picked up the puppy and walked into Zacro's home.
Zacro's home was not wealthy, and there were very few furnishings in it. There were only two pairs of blue and white porcelain plates, and he didn't know where they got them.
Zacro's wife Isabella took a teapot to make tea for Wang Xu. In this era when the great voyages had just begun, tea from China was a luxury accessory, and it was very grand to entertain guests with tea.
etiquette.
As for coffee and cocoa, they were not popular in Europe during this period, and drinking tea is the mainstream today.
"Can you give me the puppy?" As soon as Wang Xu sat on the chair, a little boy ran out of the room.
Wang Xu turned around and looked inside. There were three little heads crowded in the crack of the door. Including the boy who wanted a puppy, there were at least four children in this family.
"What's your name?" Wang Xu handed the puppy over and rubbed the little boy's head.
The little boy was not afraid of strangers. He held up the puppy to show to his younger brothers and sisters and replied: "My name is Fairele Zakro."
"Fairle, go back to your room, don't make me repeat it a second time." Isabella walked out of the kitchen holding the teacup and scolded the little boy.
The little boy reluctantly left with the puppy in his arms. Together with his three younger brothers and sisters, he hid behind the door and quietly looked at Wang Xu.
Isabella put the tea cup on the small table, with an apology on her face, and said, "The tea at home has been there for a long time, and I don't have any refreshments to entertain you. I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, it's already fine." Wang Xu did not go to drink tea, but organized his speech and said softly: "Madam, I regret to inform you that your husband, Mr. Zacro, was unfortunately killed."
"Sir, do you want to add sugar? It suddenly occurred to me that there is some sugar in the cabinet. Sugar can dilute the bitterness of the tea." Isabella seemed to have not heard what Wang Xu said, or maybe she had heard it but didn't want to believe it, and shook her head.
Walking towards the kitchen in a daze.
Wang Xu watched Isabella go away and sat on the chair without saying a word.
A moment later, he heard crying from the kitchen and the old man's whisper: "Why are you crying, Isabella?"
"Mother, I'm fine. That person brought news about Zacro, saying that Zacro... wuwu!"
Wang Xu walked to the kitchen door and looked inside. In addition to kitchen utensils, there was a bed on which an old woman with gray hair and blindness sat.
The old woman may have lost her sight, so she struggled to stand up from the bed and groped towards Isabella.
Isabella just cried and couldn't say a complete sentence.
The old woman asked a few questions beside her, then she lowered her head and began to cry. She whispered: "It is the fate of a sailor to be buried in the sea. Zacro is a sailor. I have known that such a day would come."
"Mom, Zacro is gone, what will happen to our family of five?" Ilabetha couldn't stop crying. She still has four children to support, and there is an old mother who is blind. How is this?
The heavy burden of life is enough to crush a person.
In the past, when Zakro was still here, he could still mail some money back every year. Life was a little more difficult, but he could still make ends meet.
Now that Zakro is gone, what should we do in the future?
"I have persuaded him before that being a sailor is not that easy. He always told me to work for another two years and then go home. Then we can buy a farm, but now..." Isabella covered her head
I cried with a face on my face and couldn't say anything later.
In the Age of Discovery, sailor was the most popular profession.
After becoming sailors, many people bought their own farms in just a few years and lived a prosperous life.
Of course, more people die at sea than successful people.
The sea is always so ruthless and unpredictable. Some people get rich while others lose their lives. The higher the return, the greater the risk.
"It will get better. Fairle is already eleven years old. The shoemaker in the town told me last time that Fairle can be an apprentice for him. He will take care of food, housing, and accommodation and get eight copper coins every month. Although I
Even if you can't see, you can also help others sew clothes. Although life is a little harder, the important thing is to raise the children." The old woman whispered, but it could not relieve Isabella's sadness.
There are four children in their family, the eldest, Fairle, is eleven years old, and the youngest is only four years old this year.
Most of the men in the town have gone to work as sailors, and there are not many jobs available. It is very difficult to raise four children at this time.
"Mom, Thomas Sr. has no children and has always planned to adopt one. How about we send Miller there. Miller is only 4 years old this year. With our current conditions, we may not be able to raise him."
"Just wait, things will get better. Wait until winter comes, if there is no way to send Miller away."
The conversation came intermittently. Although it was dull, it was a family's helplessness and compromise.
The Fairle brothers, who still didn't know their fate, mustered up the courage to walk to Wang Xu and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, are you colleagues with my father?"
"No, I am his boss." Wang Xu shook his head slightly, looked at Fairle's puzzled eyes, and added: "I am a captain, your father works on my ship, and he is my second mate.
.”
"Second officer, father has become the second officer?" Ferle looked surprised, not knowing the news that Zacro was dead.
Wang Xu hesitated for a moment, but instead of telling the truth, he replied kindly: "He is a great sailor, he loves you very much, and the last thing he thinks about is you."
After saying this, Wang Xu glanced at the kitchen, stood up and left silently.
Fairle was about to call her mother, but when she lowered her head, she found eight gold coins on the table and said excitedly: "Look, mother, uncle the captain left eight gold coins. They are so beautiful!"
