v2 Chapter 173： Poetry (1/2)

Zhang Heng returned to the captain's room on the Jackdaw and wiped the rain on his head with a towel, while Annie on the other side changed her clothes neatly.

Zhang Heng poured a glass of rum to warm up the red-haired girl, and then he drank a glass of himself. This wine is standard for sailors, but the taste is not very good, although it is sugar cane. The juice is brewed, but some are bitter. It is not as good as wine and brandy, but it is cheaper and has a longer shelf life than fresh water.

Generally, the barrel water on the boat will become difficult to drink after one month, and various plankton will grow in it, but rum can be stored for one or two years, which is a must-have on the boat.

At the end of a cup, Zhang Heng's stomach immediately raised a warmth, but then there was a knock at the door.

Billy came in with a somewhat cramped young man.

”This is Mr. Vincent,” the helmsman gave a brief introduction. ”I showed the crew on the note you gave me, and we had good luck. Mr. Vincent knew the one above. Text. ”

Zhang Heng also recognized the other party. He was the ship doctor who got on board this time and was recruited by Billy himself, but he seemed to prefer botany. He was hijacked by a group of pirates during the research on the ship and forced to become the other party. The doctor of the ship, a year later, disbanded the pirates and joined another pirate regiment. Vincent recovered his freedom, but had to stay on the island because he was afraid that his pirate experience would be pulled out.

He lives next door to Billy and usually makes money by keeping books in places such as taverns. After Billy's persuasion, he finally decides to follow the Jackdaw again to the sea.

”This is a cargo list, but it is written in Dutch. It records the cargo carried by a ship on each voyage. It is quite common, such as cotton, woolen cloth, or wood.” Young This is the first time the ship doctor has spoken to the captain, and he seems a little nervous. He was worried that Zhang Heng did not believe his words and explained, ”My father is Scottish, but my mother is Dutch. I lived in the Netherlands for a while, so Some Dutch.

”What about these?” Zhang Heng also gave Vincent two other notes.

Annie was about to leave, but stopped at this time. She was curious about the strange missing crew members on the ship, and wanted to know what happened to them.

The young ship doctor took the notes, opened one of them, and was a little unsure after reading two pages, ”This should be ... a collection of poems.”

”Poems?”

”Yeah, and it's a love poem.” Vincent turned a few more pages. ”Most of them were written to a woman named Betty, but the level was not good. I still saw someone use storm to describe myself for the first time. Lover, and most of them are described ... very explicit. ”

The young ship doctor blushed after speaking.

”Can you read one for us?”

”Oh, okay ... okay, no problem.” Vincent glanced at Annie aside, the red-haired girl didn't respond at all,

The young boat doctor turned it over and found one that looked good and cleared his throat. ”Betty, my lover, I praise you, I adore you, you are the storm, you are my master, you His chest is like the fruit of a crooked branch \\ Your ... well, your legs are like a valley flowing with honey \\ ...... ”When you read here, Vincent's forehead also sweated, he Can not help but loosen his collar, looked up and asked Zhang Heng, ”Should I read on?”
