Assassin’s Adventure

Chapter 64: trim

Oliver didn't open it, but smiled with relief: "My son is finally able to take good care of himself, I know that sailing consumes a lot, if you really already have your own fleet, you need more money. Now, take it back."

Gordon sighed, "I still have it, it's fine."

While the two were talking, Gordon's mother, Charlotte, pushed the door and came in. Seeing the joy in Gordon's eyes, she inadvertently wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled slightly.

"Mother, at home..."

Charlotte walked up to him and hugged him: "Gordon, just come back. It's hard work being a sailor."

Oliver also had a lot of energy at this time: "My son is now a captain, and my support at the time was right, ahem..."

Charlotte also held Oliver's hand: "Okay, I know you're right, but you'd better say a few words less."

Seeing that there was a lot of white hair on his mother's head, Gordon couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Mother, I can support my family now, and I have a lot of money."

Gordon opened the bag of silver coins that he had taken out earlier. There were at least seventy or eighty coins in it, which was definitely enough for a family of three to live on for a year.

In fact, Gordon still has a lot of money, but he doesn't dare to take it out at one time. If he takes it, there is a high probability that Charlotte will quickly close the door and force him to be a pirate.

This afternoon, Gordon stayed at home, bought a lot of good things, and had a hearty lunch at home.

Of course, Oliver could only watch from the sidelines, ate some white bread, drank a lot of boiled water, and was not allowed to eat anything with oil.

"Father, you need to nourish your stomach first so that you can absorb more things and recover."

"Why do you need to boil the water to drink it?" This is undoubtedly what Oliver is very puzzled about.

Anyway, Gordon kept exhorting, and Charlotte's strong stop, and only suppressed Oliver, who was about to drink two glasses to celebrate.

Gordon's coming home gave his father a lot of energy. He didn't lie down on the bed again, and he got up and moved around for the first time.

In the afternoon, accompanied by Gordon, Charlotte quit her job on the farm and wanted to take care of Oliver at home. After going through the market, she bought a lot of things, including the addition of household necessities, quilts, clothes, etc. With so many candles and kerosene lamps, Gordon always felt that the house was too dark.

This originally remote home has been renovated. Although it is not so gorgeous, it is very warm.

On this day, Gordon was accompanying his parents almost all the time, exhorting them how to take care of their bodies, and exhorting them why the water should be boiled for drinking...

After dinner, Gordon returned to the port again. Many sailors were bragging on the deck bored, drinking rum and laughing. Because there was no order from the captain, they did not know the specific sailing time. Don't dare to leave the boat without permission.

"Where's Mate Morgan?" Gordon asked when he got back on the boat and pulled a sailor.

The sailor who was a little drowsy opened his eyes, only to realize that it was his captain who had come back, and he was instantly sober.

"Dafan... There is no..."

However, the tongue didn't obey at all, so he quickly gave himself a big mouth to wake up a lot.

"The first officer and Allen took the sailor to the exchange, and they haven't come back yet!"

At this time, Coolidge just climbed onto the deck and saw Gordon rolled his eyes: "You finally thought of coming back, how was your day?"

When confronted with such annoyance, Gordon lit his cigar again and leaned a little dejectedly to the side of the boat.

"Not very good, my father is seriously ill, I don't know what to do?"

According to oriental culture, according to filial piety, it is impossible to travel far away at this time, and you should take care of your parents at home, but you have only set sail, have your own ambitions, and hope to have more money to send home .

"Did you find a doctor? What's the disease?"

Gordon shook his head, and just slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. What can doctors do now? To add to the chaos, in this era, only Chinese medicine may still be useful.

"That's right, Chinese medicine!"

But this term is too difficult to understand, and Aaron doesn't understand it either.

However, this journey is a bit too long. They need to travel for about two months to reach the land of China.

"Morgan, do you know that there is a kingdom in the east called the Qing Dynasty?"

The latter clearly shook his head: "According to the map drawn by the Royal Academy, there is no country called the Qing Dynasty as far away as Australia."

Gordon sighed, stopped thinking about the question, and instead shouted, "Mitch? Where did you go?"

"This, this."

Mickey, who was still playing cards with a few sailors in the cabin, hurried up and went to Gordon's side: "What do you want the captain to do?"

"In this way, we will rest in this port for a week and give the sailors some money."

After Gordon finished speaking, he threw a big money bag to him.

"Morgan, is this transaction going well?"

Gordon continued to ask. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Coolidge directly took out a generation of coins and handed them to Gordon: "77 gold coins, this time the harvest is not bad."

The heavy bag made people jealous, and Gordon didn't even think about it, and threw it to him again: "Take the ship to the shipyard for repairs, the rest will be with you first, and buy new supplies when you're ready to sail. and goods."

The decision to revise and issue money is of course to make these sailors cheer, no matter whether the captain makes money or not, it is not their concern, as long as there is money to take.

After dealing with the trivial matters of the ship, Gordon was going to go to the pub to find Harry. If he wanted to go to sea again, the family would ask him to take care of him.

Coolidge looked at Gordon's figure leaving in a low voice, and sighed. After all, he was a busy life, and it seemed that he had to help this kid take care of the ship for a while.

When Gordon came to the tavern that the two agreed upon, it was already dark. It wasn't very nice here, but it was clean.

When he walked into the pub, he saw that Harry was already sitting at the innermost table and waved to him.

Gordon smiled, then bought two bottles of rum from the bar and walked over.

"Harry, we haven't seen each other for a year."

Gordon sat down, poured a glass for both of them, and took a sip.

Harry looked at Gordon's attire. His whole person was completely different in both style and temperament. He exuded a sense of arrogance and determination from his bones.

"Gordon, I still can't forget it. I clearly agreed to go sailing together. In the end, when I went to find you, your father told me that you had been gone for a week, and I was pissed."

"Hahaha, let's not mention the past, drink, drink!"
