The conflict ended with the hunter sailors' copper pesos not slipping away.
In order to express his gratitude, Zhang Heng invited all the customers who regretted not being able to earn a reward to drink a free drink, which was well received.
And he had just resolved the matter, and was heard by the quartermaster who came to the arms dealer. He had news about the 24-pound cannonball he had previously asked. Difraina came to discuss the initial purchase quantity with him. There is also the matter of recruiting new chefs.
Until the sunset, Zhang Heng returned to his residence again.
He opened the door, but there was no trace of the red-haired girl in the room.
Zhang Heng came to the latter's bedroom and found that there was no one left.
After the bombardment of Charleston, the farmer's son disappeared along with Queen Anne's Vengeance. No one knew where they were. Now Annie also moved away, leaving him alone in the house.
Zhang Heng suddenly felt a bit empty here, as if something was missing.
At this time in the past, he would hear that a red-haired girl was starving to death staring downstairs. Why didn't you open a meal, now this voice will never sound again.
Zhang Heng found that he seemed to be accustomed to all this without knowing it.
Used to the carefree guy beside him, used to her going home after a fight, and used to listen to her complaining about how women are discriminated against on the island. All pirate groups are blind ... so he was not serious Thinking about the fact that the other party will leave one day.
Until Annie started to find a house according to the plan, step by step towards her dream, but at the same time she also seemed to lose the reason to live here again. In the morning, the two talked to the new house. The red-haired girl excitedly said how to do whatever she wants in the future. Zhang Heng was also very happy for her, but they both avoided the topic of separation intentionally or unintentionally.

In the evening, Zhang Heng finished dinner at the table alone, took out a travel note taken off the boat, and turned to bed after a while.
As a result, in the middle of the night he was awakened by a whispering voice. Zhang Heng opened his eyes alertly in the dark and held the saber by the window. Now he is the only one left in the whole house, so the voice outside This means that there are unexpected visitors.
Now that he has some potential enemies on the island, especially considering the tension between the Jackdaw and the Black Merchants Alliance, but the two sides have not completely torn their faces, and now it is the cusp of the storm, Malcolm reasonably would not use Such a low-level method, but Zhang Heng does not rely on the opponent's reason.
In order to avoid being the target of the musket, he did not light up the oil lamp for the first time. Instead, he lay on the wooden door, listened to the footsteps and went upstairs. He stopped in the corridor and waited until the other party's most relaxed moment. Up.
The bedroom door suddenly opened, and Zhang Heng came out from behind, but the shadow in the corridor also reacted quickly. Feeling that he was slashing back and forth, he raised his fist and smashed into Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng did not expect that the opponent was so fierce. The uninvited guest clearly shot after him, but the fist was faster than his saber. In this way, the latter's fist would hit him one step before he hit the opponent. His chin, so Zhang Heng could only change his strategy, and he stopped the punch first.
