MTL - Never Fade Skull Flag-Chapter 10 Andy's Sailing Life (2)
When Andy found Buck, he was gambling with some pirates.
As for the stakes, of course, rum.
Pirates are naturally boring when they have no goals. Captain Zach likes to hide in the captain's room to study routes and some mysterious things. First mate Roger stands on the deck and uses iron anchors to exercise strength. Second mate Biba Bu is a mysterious guy who has been in the cabin guarding their cattle and sheep food and rum, and sometimes checks the ammunition.
Sailor Andler relied on a bagpipe beside a cable, and as for the other pirates, they were either drinking rum to brag and chatting, or gambling.
Always have some fun when you are bored.
Pirates like to play dice. They put the dice in a wooden cup, and after a few people shake it, they guess the number of each point. All in all, it depends on luck as well as some tricks.
Buck's luck is obviously not very good. He who likes to laugh obviously can't laugh at this time.
This time, the captain of the voyage allocated two barrels of rum to everyone. It has only been a few hours since the voyage, and Buck has already lost a barrel and a half.
"How should I spend the rest of my life?"
Buck knew that if he only had half a barrel of rum, his next life would be a torment, because he was an alcoholic, two barrels were not enough, let alone only half a barrel.
"Come again!"
Buck said viciously, looking like a gambler who took his life as a bet, in fact, rum was indeed his life.
"Hey, Buck, don't you really want to keep some for yourself? You only have half a barrel of wine!"
A pirate laughed. He just won half a bucket from Buck. He plans to reward himself for a while, and drink a pot in one gulp. Think about it and enjoy it!
"I…"
Buck's heart shrank. If he loses again, I am afraid that this trip to the sea will become his nightmare. These guys are all addicted to alcohol. They may offer you a drink generously in the bar, but when they sailed, no one Can get a drop of rum from their glass.
Neither can the great Captain Zach.
Of course, neither does the great Captain Zach, who has several barrels of fine wine in his captain's room.
Buck stood up, he was not going to gamble any more.
"Great Lord Chief, oh no, great Goddess of Despair, I hope we can sack a merchant ship full of rum in the near future."
Buck muttered, looking pious.
"Or I should rush to the front next time I fight, kill a few more people and maybe the generous captain will reward me with a bucket of rum!"
Buck felt the long sword at his waist, thinking like this.
"Buck! Hey, big guy, I have something for you."
When Andy saw Buck leave the gaming table, he quickly followed.
"It's you?" Buck looked at Andy. "What do you want to do, little monkey? Are you also interested in betting twice?"
Buck said, his eyes lit up, Andy was also a member of the boat, that is to say, he also had two barrels of rum.
"Unfortunately, I don't have any interest, but I am very interested in your teeth."
Andy said.
"Huh? My teeth?"
Buck suddenly understood what was going on, he smiled proudly, his white teeth even reflected light in the sunlight.
"Aren't my teeth nice?"
"Yes, so I want to find out what's going on."
"Of course there's no problem, my dear Andy!" Buck smiled, then turned a little serious, "This is the secret of my tribe, you want to get it, you need to exchange it, and promise not to disclose it to others, otherwise, you will be punished."
"As you wish, but I want to know what you want in exchange?"
Andy asked, he doesn't seem to have anything of value, can it be exchanged for rum?
"I want your musket."
Buck pointed to Andy's waist, the musket with a shiny barrel.
"It's a pity that my sister gave it to me, and I can't exchange it for anything."
Andy watched Buck greedily glance at him, and added, "And this sword too."
"And this hat."
"By the way, and this turban."
"I'm sorry, but boots don't work either."
Buck stared at Andy and saw that he finally finished, "Then what can you exchange? This is the secret of my tribe."
"I have rum, Big Buck, if you will, I hear you only have half a barrel of rum left."
Maybe it was Andy's delusion. He found that Buck's already black face became even darker. Buck turned around a few times, not knowing what to say, and finally said, "Okay, it's cheaper, but I want two barrels. rum!"
"Oh, you are really greedy. Although I am young, I also want to drink rum, so I can only give you a bucket."
Andy shook his head and said seriously.
"Huh? Only a bucket? Are you kidding me?"
Buck laughed. He didn't want to deal with Andy anymore. How could his secret be just a barrel of rum?
"Alas, what a pity, yesterday I heard from the captain that this voyage will last for a few months, and maybe some guy will only be able to hold his empty wine barrel for the next few months, and only have a sip at a time. Rum, oh, what a **** of a life."
Buck stopped, took a deep breath, and turned around.
"Okay, you won! You **** mean guy! You're a pirate!"
"My pleasure, sir."
Andy smiled, this **** man was really interesting.
"Then, tell me your secret."
Andy rubbed his hands together, he was a little excited, the secret of whitening teeth spread by the mysterious island tribe, ha, it's really interesting.
There are many tribes on the island who will take the initiative to make their teeth black, because it is more mysterious, and it is rare for tribes to whiten their teeth.
"It's actually very simple. Our tribe has a special method of mixing some strange things into a medicine, soaking it in sea water, and gargling with those things every morning."
"What strange things?"
Andy asked.
"Hey, little thing, you don't really think that a barrel of rum can be exchanged for all the secrets! The bosun used a rare gem in exchange for me, but I can provide you with it for this voyage. In exchange for your rum, you have to give me a gold coin every time you sail in the future, and I will provide you with the next medicine!"
Andy thought for a while, then UU Reading www.uukanshu.com smiled, "Okay, give it to me."
Andy is confident that as long as he obtains that thing, he can analyze its contents through special methods.
Buck took out a piece of white crystal from the small bag beside him, as if solidified cream, and threw it to Andy.
"These are enough for you, but you will need gold coins in the future! After all, the materials also require money, or you can exchange your guns, and I will tell you what the materials are!"
"Stop dreaming, my gun won't be exchanged for anything."
Buck followed Andy across the deck to his little house.
"My rum, go get it, I can't wait."
Buck swallowed and exclaimed excitedly.
Andy entered the hut, and after a while he moved out a small wooden barrel filled with rum.
Buck's smile solidified on his face.
"You **** liar! Why is your barrel so small?"
"Unfortunately, the captain thinks that I am not suitable for drinking too much wine, because I have more important things, so my wine barrel is only half the size of yours."
Buck opened his mouth. He also knew that it was useless to say anything at this time. He was deceived by this kid.
"If you don't give me another barrel of rum, I'll throw you into the sea! Bad thing!"
"I advise you not to do it." Roger's voice came over, and he looked at Buck as if he was watching his prey, "or I think the captain will hang you from the mast to dry you, and then let the seagulls and crows Eat your body, trust me, Buck."
Buck seemed to think of that scene, shuddered, picked up the pocket oak barrel, and returned to the cabin angrily.
