Chapter 113： Black sail articles (18) (1/2)

”You're back. I made seafood soup with conch and oysters that I didn't sell in the afternoon. They are hot just after they are out of the pot!” Malvin heard the footsteps and leaned his head out of the kitchen with a leather apron happily Come, but saw a strange red-haired girl.

Zhang Heng followed her and made an introduction for both parties, ”Annie, this is Malvern from the Sea Lion, Malvern, this is the Anne of the Golden Swallow, the new guest here, she will stay for a while until ... ... well, she found her place on the island. ”

”Seafood soup?” Annie sniffed. ”Can I have a bowl.”

Malvern froze, and then he kept saying, ”Of course, I made a lot, even three people can drink, but ...”

He didn't finish his words. The red-haired girl had rushed into the kitchen, and despite the scalding, she picked up the spoon and drank it. She should have been hungry for a long time. After a few big mouthfuls, she groaned and used it again. The largest bowl filled himself with a bowl full of oysters, walked out of it, and squinted at the farmer's son, ”But what?”

”Oh, I want to say, but if it's not salty enough, you can put some salt.” Malvin was shocked by the red-haired girl's momentum, whispered.

”It's just food. It's enough to satisfy the hunger. It doesn't matter what the taste is.” Annie said as she took the bowl to the dining table in the living room.

”I ... I must oppose this heresy in real name.” Mr. Kitchen took the courage to express his protest with a voice smaller than that of a mosquito.

According to Annie herself, she was born into a wealthy family, her father was a lawyer, she owned a large orchard, and other odd industries, but her mother was only a maid, and Annie was their illegitimate child. Female, both mother and daughter have been placed in a secret manor since she was born. Her father is quite reliable. At least they have not treated the two in terms of money. They also asked Anne for a teacher. She has become a lady.

It's a pity that different from other girls, Annie and other girls have no interest in reading and dancing. Instead, she likes dancing swords and guns, and because of her childhood experience, she is increasingly eager for freedom. Those pirate stories have an unparalleled appeal to her.

So she eventually escaped from the manor with a passing sailor and escaped from her father's control. They ran all the way to Nassau. In this legendary pirate kingdom, Anne was one step closer to her dream life. However, she did not expect that afterwards, she was unable to find a job. Although she easily defeated the pirates responsible for recruiting in the tavern, no pirate ship was willing to accept her.

The reason is simply because she is a woman.

The house leak happened to be rainy night, and then the sailor James Bernie who brought her to Nassau also showed her the show, saying that it would not be possible to control her food and accommodation so endlessly, unless Anne was willing to marry him as his wife, and the result was irritable Red-haired girl banged the former's lower body and then fell out of the door.

But now it seems that all this is in the past. Anne got a recommendation letter from Jin Yanzi, got a job, and also found a place to stay temporarily. It looks like her life is about to start a new life. A page away.

Uh ...

Annie ’s story is a vignette. Zhang Heng just took a brief look at the girl ’s experience and did n’t care about her. The only advantage of the house he rented was that it was large enough. There are few empty rooms, especially when he and Malvin go out to sea. There are often uninvited guests here. It is better to let Anne live than cheap homeless people. There is no reason to refuse this kind of hand.
