Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 85
The waves kept hitting Gordon’s face, and the water splashes lost his eyes, but he still tried his best to keep his eyes open and keep swimming towards the sailor’s position, fighting against the wind and waves of the sea.
“Come on, hold on a little longer…”
He had already begun to pant, looking at the sailor who was getting closer and closer, he only felt relieved.
“Hold me!”
The sailor dropped the plank and swam with all his strength towards Gordon’s position, but kept drowning in the waves.
“Hold me!”
Gordon shouted that the sailor was already close at hand, and it was only less than half a meter when the closest.
But at this time, the rope tied to Gordon’s body was suddenly tightened, pulling his body sharply into the distance.
Even the long rope used to tie the sail has finally come to an end.
“No! A little more, even just a little, ah!”
The sailor had lost his plank. Looking at Gordon, who gradually distanced himself, his eyes were full of despair and will to die. This is fate, the last fate of a sailor.
“Captain…”
The sailor opened his mouth to say something, but was quickly covered by a wave.
“…I don’t regret getting on the Jackdaw…”
Gordon’s face was wet at this time, and he couldn’t tell whether it was sea water, rain or tears. These sailors had only set sail from La Guaira for half a month. How could this happen, and a young life was ruined?
The waves were getting bigger and bigger, Gordon could only watch the sailors struggling in the sea, but couldn’t find any way.
“No, this is not the result I want.”
The chaotic current gradually swept the sailor into the distance, and then swept Gordon along with it.
His eyes were full of sadness. After all, the power of nature cannot be stopped by manpower. Survival in the sea is just a probability.
Coolidge has also been watching the rescue with binoculars, but he still can’t stop the power of the sea.
“Pull the captain back! Quick!”
Because with the continuous movement of ships, the islands and reefs of the Bahamas have become denser and denser. Of course, it also shows one thing, that is, they are getting closer and closer to Nassau.
The five sailors worked together and finally pulled Gordon back from the sea. He was soaked and re-boarded the ship building. After all, he was a little lost, but at this time, he could only re-steer the ship with a strong spirit and fight the heavy rain and wind. It is indeed so charming, but life is also extremely fragile.
“Captain, it’s destiny, it’s not your fault.”
Gordon shook his head and didn’t speak. Of course he understood this, but he was in a panic, or he would think, if he wasn’t so proud, he wouldn’t be sailing in the torrential rain if he wasn’t so proud, and he wouldn’t be sailing in the torrential rain if he set off earlier. , will it be possible to avoid these occurrences.
This torrential rain lasted for three days, and during these three days, Gordon drove the boat almost day and night. The sailors on the deck in charge of the sails changed a lot, and everyone used ropes. Linked to the side of the ship or on the mast, braved the wind, rain and big waves to force the ship to the port of Nassau.
During this torrential rain, the port of Nassau was almost full of ships, and the Jackdaw, the only ship that braved the storm to dock, almost shocked everyone in the port.
On the sea horizon swept by the thunderstorm, lightning shone on the ship’s wind and waves, and finally stopped at the gradually calming pier, stowed the sails again, and lowered the anchor.
Navigating this route is of course not so easy. Countless reefs and islands have become deadly killers in the storm. The blowing of the crosswind makes the ship drift for a long time. All steering must be tested for the wind direction, and then the budget should be prepared in advance. .
Braving the heavy rain, the sailors followed their captains to the port. Even the people in charge of berthing management were invisible. The soldiers on the distant fortresses disappeared. No pirate would come in such heavy rain. Raid this port.
The sailors in the tavern were drinking very enthusiastically. On this day when they could not sail, the sailors who lacked entertainment gathered here, brag about each other, played cards, gambled, squandered the coins they earned, and had fun.
The door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and a cool breeze blew from outside, making the sailors sitting at the door a little uncomfortable.
Nassau, which belongs to the tropical climate, has been very hot for a long time, especially the hottest rainy season in July, but the three days of heavy rain has washed away all the heat and brought the long-lost cold.
Every time it rains, it cleans the city. You must know that in this era, people can directly dump their excrement on the street. As long as there is no one below, most cities are smelly, except Those bustling metropolises, London, or Havana.
A group of nearly 80 people swarmed into the bar in Nassau, filling the pub that was already full of people even more crowded.
The Sailorsmen in the bar are a little envious. No matter from whose point of view Gordon is a great captain with great strength, this aura is really a face.
Gordon, Coolidge, Allen, and Mitch chose the innermost vacancy, while the other sailors simply found a stool to sit down, or sat around the bar. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
When boarding the ship, each sailor was rewarded with twenty silver coins, and he still couldn’t find a way to spend it. At this time, in this tavern, he was very generous, and the sailors of other ships began to envy.
“Which ship’s sailor is this, so rich?”
A skinny sailor who was a little lame whispered to the people beside him.
The latter took a closer look at these young sailors. Almost every one of them was a little immature, but with a machete on their body, they were strong in body and extremely sharp in spirit.
“It feels like a soldier in the Royal Navy, but the Royal Navy won’t have an officer with you for a drink.”
“Go and ask?”
“…”
Money is what all sailors pursue, isn’t it just for money that they run around the sea? There is actually such a ship that ordinary sailors can afford. It is simply a place everyone yearns for.
“Ellen, go get some rum. All the sailors on our ship will pay for the drinks.”
Gordon ordered Aaron on the side, and now they have made a lot of money, and they are not short of money at all.
“I know the captain.”
Allen nodded and led the way to the bar.
Coolidge looked at Gordon, whose eyes were full of blood red, and was a little worried: “Gordon, you should drink less bars, you haven’t slept for three days and three nights.”
Gordon twisted his clothes and poured a lot of water directly on the floor of the tavern. After pouring the water from his boots, he felt a lot lighter.
“I’m fine. After all, I’m still a little too young, but shouldn’t I be crazy while I’m young?”
His body is very tired, but his spirit is extremely sharp. This extreme overdraft is not so much a madness for young people, but a punishment for Gordon’s mistakes.
