It is said that the sea is the place where men belong, representing freedom and unrestrainedness, with endless beauty. Russell, however, had little interest in sailing. The limerick "The Sea and Horses" was very realistic, and he did not see any beautiful scenery.
Except it’s just water, and it’s salty!
The entrance to Davy Jones' Prison is at the end of the world. It sounds very grand, but it is actually the Antarctic Glacier. You can reach the destination by heading south after leaving Singapore.
The voyage was a bit long, so Russell handed the rudder to Barbossa, identified Tai Huang as the first mate, and hid in the captain's cabin all day long.
Although Barbossa had a history of driving away the captain, Russell didn't care. On the vast sea, one person's power was too small. Barbossa could not sail the Queen alone.
Yes, Barbossa was not alone. Turner, Elizabeth, and Jack's funny subordinates all hugged him for warmth. But so what, including the immortal monkeys, there were only ten people, and they still couldn't sail the Queen.
The ship full of Chinese pirates obeyed Tai Huang's orders and looked up to Russell. They had seen his inhuman power, and the possibility of being incited to rebel was zero.
Barbossa is not an unintelligent person. The purpose of this trip is to find Jack. If he can control the rudder of the Queen, he will not ask for more.
On the deck, hundreds of sailors came and went, busy working under the command of Tai Huang. When the pirate flag was raised, these people were pirates, and when the flag was lowered, they were sailors.
The Empress suffered a lot of damage in the naval battle. The ship passed by an island, filled it with supplies and grabbed a batch of planks. The carpenters on the ship were repairing the hull. The remaining sailors either raised and lowered the sails, or boarded the observation deck, more
The main task was to scrub the decks, the cannons, and take out the supplies from the cabins to dry them.
After drying, move it back, continue mopping the deck, and then move the supplies out.
It's not that Tai Huang likes to torment people. When more than a hundred big men gather together, they have to find something to do. Otherwise, they have nowhere to vent their energy. Who knows what will happen.
Elizabeth agreed that this was the way to go, it would be better to tire them out so no one would stare at her lewdly!
What made her most indignant was that these experienced scum not only looked at her with leering looks, but also looked at Turner in the same way.
She admitted that Turner had a charming face, was very handsome, and could be considered a tender man among pirates, but he was a man, a man with a handle.
A group of men looked at a man lustfully. What do they want to do?
No, what can they do?
Elizabeth was speechless: "These people must be blind. Will looks a bit white, but he is really not a woman..."
…
At noon, Barbossa and several others sat on the deck to enjoy a delicious lunch. The Chinese pirates were very xenophobic. They were isolated and could only eat on the deck.
The supplies were well-known and were produced in Britain. They were secretly sold by navy soldiers to make extra money, and were finally bought back by the Thai people.
Dried peas, biscuits, bacon, cheese, rum!
Among them, bacon is affectionately called "zombie meat" by British naval soldiers. There are pork and beef. Because it is a strategic material, it has a long storage time. Eating bacon from a few years ago is considered a great explosion of character. Eating dozens of bacon
The bacon from years ago was considered normal.
Hard biscuits are called 'teeth sticks' because they are really hard. Unless your teeth are very good, you have to soak them in hot water for a long time. If you are lucky, you can eat black-headed maggots in the biscuits, which are extremely protein-rich.
High and a little sweet!
As for cheese, you can use hard biscuits. Because they are stored all year round, they are hard enough to be used as a carving knife. You can carve a few handicrafts when you have nothing to do, and you can also make extra money.
Barbossa was chewing dry peas, and the immortal monkey on his shoulder was jumping up and down. It couldn't die even if it didn't eat, but its instinct of life still drove it to please Barbossa for some food.
"Oh, Jack, you little clever guy."
Barbosa smiled and picked up the table knife, wasted all his strength, and cut off a small piece of cheese with his whole body trembling: "Look...look what this is...MD, I'm exhausted."
The monkey chirped and took the cheese, winking as if to thank Barbosa. It swallowed the cheese into its mouth and chewed hard.
"Gaba! Gaba...click!!"
The immortal monkey spit out a tooth, raised its head and fell from Barbossa's shoulder. It fell to the ground and kicked its legs until it stopped moving.
"Oh God!" Elizabeth looked away with black lines on her face. This was not funny at all, because she might also have her teeth knocked out.
She forked the bacon on her dinner plate: "The high-end private goods from Britain said it so nicely. It turns out that our country's naval soldiers are living in such misery."
"If you don't want to eat it, you can give it to me." The tall and thin one-eyed pirate looked at the bacon on Elizabeth's plate with salivation on his face. He had already finished his own portion and felt that it was not bad.
The short and fat Mediterranean pirate was also looking forward to it. Being stared at by the three eyes, Elizabeth lost her appetite even more and threw the bacon on the fork away. One-eye and Mediterranean flew out, and the two of them struggled together, and the bacon
The quality is very good, and it didn't deform even after being pulled around by two people.
"Will, what do you think?"
Turner swallowed the shriveled peas and felt his esophagus being scratched by a knife. He turned pale and took a big sip of rum: "It's terrible. I'm afraid I won't be able to see Jack for the last time."
"This is life at sea, you have to learn to adapt." Jack's first mate Gibbs swallowed the bacon with difficulty and raised his glass: "Be more liberal, at least we still have rum."
Barbossa agreed and raised his glass: "You're right, this is a toast to the great rum."
Several people were having fun, and the atmosphere soon became lively. Elizabeth imitated Turner by swallowing the dried peas, and took a big sip of rum.
"How do you feel?" Turner asked with concern. Elizabeth's family was wealthy, and if it hadn't been for him that she went to sea, she wouldn't have had to commit such a crime.
Elizabeth smiled and said: "I miss it a bit. When I was a child, my father was feeding his war horses, and I stole a few mouthfuls of dried peas."
"Elizabeth..." Turner was moved. He knew that Elizabeth was lying to make him feel better.
"Will..."
The two intertwined their fingers, Lang Qing and Concubine held each other tightly, ignoring the cursing next to them and just spreading the dog food.
At this moment, an attractive aroma floated onto the deck. It was the smell of food, or high-end cuisine that had just been cooked.
The laughter stopped for a moment. Several people fell into silence when they looked at the biscuits on the plate that were harder than rocks and the bacon that was probably older than them. Even Turner and Elizabeth had no intention of spreading dog food.
"Gu Gu Gu~~"
Someone's stomach made a sound.
Barbossa wiped his mouth gracefully and apologized: "Guys, it's a great lunch, but I suddenly remembered that there is something very important that I need to discuss with Mr. Military Advisor in detail. You eat first, don't wait for me."
After that, Barbossa stood up and left the table, with the wind at his feet, and walked into the cabin without looking back.
Elizabeth and Turner looked at each other, nodded and said in unison: "This matter is a bit complicated. Barbossa can't explain it alone. Let's go over and help him."
Gibbs and the others looked at each other in silence, cursing the shameless pirates in their hearts, and hurriedly got up and chased after them.
"Clang!"
At the entrance of the cabin, Taihuang Hengdao immediately blocked the way, and Gibbs and others were stopped: "Go back, your dining table is over there."
"But, Barbossa and the others... this is discrimination!" Gibbs and the others stared wide-eyed. Even if they were treated differently, it was too obvious. Are they not good? They are obviously very funny!
Taihuang snorted disdainfully. He was an honest man and didn't know how to beat around the bush when he spoke. He said bluntly: "Yes, it is discrimination. You are too ugly and it will affect adults' appetite."
Gibbs: "..."
I am not ugly, the next few are ugly!
…
Sao Feng's private cabin is located at the stern of the main deck. The Chinese world has a clear hierarchy. In order to emphasize the distinguished status of the captain, the room is extremely luxuriously decorated. Spices, ivory handicrafts, high-end furniture, luxury carpets are all available, and the captain's desk
An incense burner was placed on top, emitting a trace of smoke, adding a touch of elegance to the luxury.
Dry, warm and comfortable, not like being on the ocean at all!
The Eight Immortals table in the center was filled with delicacies from all over the world. Russell was sitting at the head seat, with the loser Jason standing behind him.
The three of Barbosa sat down separately, and all three of them maintained proper table manners. If Russell didn't do anything, they just sat there.
"Don't worry, it's not poisoned. It's just that I'm used to eating big fish and meat these days and I have no appetite." Russell said, picking up the apple and taking a bite. After thinking about it, he picked up another one and handed it to Barbosa.
"Mr. Military Advisor, thank you for your hospitality." Barbossa stood up, took the apple, took a bite, and the sweet juice poured into his throat. He raised his glass and toasted Russell.
Seeing Barbossa eating, Elizabeth and Turner followed suit. The relationship between them was very strange, like mortal enemies and friends. In most cases, Barbossa acted as a parent.
"Mr. Military Advisor, I have no choice but to involve you in this trip. I hope you won't mind."
"It doesn't matter, it just so happens that I also want to see Jack." Russell smiled and nodded. Barbossa was gentle and gentle. Even if he knew he was pretending, it would be hard to make people dissatisfied.
Turner stopped eating and asked politely: "With all due respect, what do you want to do with Jack?"
Russell said of course: "The famous Captain Jack Sparrow, a legendary pirate in the Caribbean. I have heard of his name for a long time, so I wanted to meet him."
Elizabeth complained: "Then you may be disappointed. The so-called legendary experiences are all rumors, and he is just a lucky liar."
"No, I don't think so..." Russell raised his glass, took a sip, and said meaningfully: "There are thousands of devils on the sea, and Jack has provoked most of them!"
Elizabeth was speechless. This was right, but did it have anything to do with meeting Jack?
"A person who can cause trouble everywhere and still live happily is not just lucky. He can be called a legendary pirate." Russell said and glanced at Barbossa: "Of course, Captain Barbossa, you are also a legend."
"Thank you for your compliment!" Barbossa accepted the title of 'Legend' with a smile, paused and asked: "Mr. Military Advisor, I would like to ask, Jack has not offended you before, right?"
Hearing Barbossa's question, Elizabeth and Turner instantly woke up. Their eyes were slightly sad, and Jack's unflattering smile flashed in their minds. It was possible that such a thing had happened.
"No, I am not a devil, and he has not offended me..." Russell thought for a while and added: "At least not yet!"
