A stale street in the civic area of Port Havana.
August hesitantly hid in the shadow of the street corner, looking at a small shop not far away diagonally.
It's a small shop run exclusively for housewives, everything from needles and needles, rouge gouache, washbasin washboards, baking tray whisks, everything. The owner is a very old but burly old man. His shaggy hair and beard are all gray, wearing a durable canvas material, a sailor's round cap, and a big apron. .
When Auguste saw him, he was sitting in the sun on the edge of the shop, hooping a tub. A pair of big hands with thick rice **** and raised green bars, very cleverly combined the wooden board and the iron sheet, and beat the wood with a mallet to turn it into a big tub.
This well-made large tub looks good for bathing children.
The old man stretched his legs tiredly after doing his job. He casually clasped the tub on the ground as a table. He drew a bottle of rum and a glass on the bottom of the basin and slowly squinted. It seems that the store manager used to be the leader of a sea boat. Ordinary people do not have the habit of drinking rum, red wine is their choice; and the average sailor is drinking directly at the bottle. There is no such big spectrum.
August hesitated for a long time, but still made up his mind. Striding toward the shop stride! But courage came quickly and disappeared quickly ... waiting for the old man to walk quickly. The pace is lighter than a kitten and slower than a snail.
Unfortunately, the old man's eyes had fallen on him, making him inevitable. "Augu," the old man greeted with a smile. "When did you get off the boat? I don't know if you can still stay in Havana?" He looked at Auguste up and down. The old man smiled comfortably, and then looked in the direction he came. After noticing that no one came back with him, his face gradually lost a smile. "What about Jacques?"
"Grandpa Frio ..." Auguste yelled hard, but didn't know how to continue. Look at Auguste. Frio's heart sank.
"Jacques ... Is he injured?" With an expectation, Old Frio asked with a tremor in his voice, pretending to be calm. In his life, he has never been like this, expecting his grandson Jacques to be injured. It ’s just an injury ... Even if he lacks arms and legs, Auguste ’s next performance extinguishes his illusions.
"Sorry, Grandpa Frio, I didn't take care of Jacques." Auguste lowered his head. He didn't dare to look at the old man's expression. He was ashamed to the extreme. He wished he could die instead of Jacques! If it were not for Lu Yuan to tell him, the big war was about to begin. If you have any questions, you'd better deal with them first. Then he may still hesitate in Port-au-Prince and dare not notify Jacques' home of the bad news.
Hearing this apology, the old man seemed to be struck by lightning. The body rickets down and becomes ten years old. Jacques is an illegitimate child. His father's family was in British high society, and Jacques was raised by his grandfather.
"I heard that you followed the new captain. I made a big name ... At that time I was very worried ... Last time, you also wrote to me ... Jacques is going to the British Military Academy ..." The old man stumbled Almost fell, August held him up, let the old Frio sit down on the chair. "How could this be ..." The old man muttered mutteringly, and the two big old hands were unable to cover his face, and tears flowed from behind his hands.
Auguste looked at the sad old man, his heart twisted. He took a deep breath and knelt down on one knee beside the old man. He took off a large backpack on his back and a long flintlock gun and put it in front of the old man.
"Grandpa Frio, these are the things left by Jacques ..."
August carefully took out the contents of the backpack one by one and placed it on the overturned tub-an old sheathed knife, a black thick-skinned diary, a few pieces of laundry, and a dress Necklace box, short musket, a few beautiful stones, and a few usury shop bills ... Of course it is a deposit, which is more than 200,000 pesos!
August also did not know how Lu Yuan got these things from the sunken ship. In fact, in order to pass through the cabin, Lu Yuan went to the adjutant's office to pick up Jacques's relics and almost lost his life.
Old Frio shook his hand out tremblingly, stroking it piece by piece. First the few stones, then the old knife. The old diary of Jacques soaked and dried by the sea, the old man hugged tightly in his arms. When he saw the necklace box, he seemed to sigh ... But when he picked up the bill, Flio's eyes suddenly rose with great anger!
"What's this ?! Jacques' life-giving money ?! Your captain is so generous! My old man has hands and feet, no need!"
"Don't!" August grabbed the old man's hand quickly. "This is Jacques' own money! His own money! We ... made a lot of money during this time, and Jacques said he would open a bigger one for you. Shop, let you live a good life ... "This sentence completely destroyed the old man's heart defense, and made him cry in tears.
The crock does not break up from the well, and the general will inevitably die in battle. At the moment, Flio, with Jacques, who was abandoned less than a year old, boarded Augustus' father's boat, and was destined to live on the tip of the knife. After the death of August's father, Flio took Jacques to settle in Havana. Later, it became Jacques and August, who was planning to reorganize his family ... just this time it was Jacques' turn.
"But Jacques is dead! You are alive!"
An angry female voice came from behind and interrupted him directly. Surprised Auguste was about to look back, a sharp sword resting beside his great artery. Let him froze instantly. He had already guessed at this time who the woman who was speaking was the one Jacques had always lived in England. Step-sister. August bowed his head and said nothing. Because she was right ...
When he bowed his head in disregard, in order not to cut off the large artery on his neck, the thin sword moved slightly outward, and then continued to rest firmly on his neck.
"When's the thing?" The female voice in the back obviously asked the question out with anger.
"Four ... weeks ago." August bowed his head in shame, and he began to hate his cowardice and escape. In fact, he is blaming everything on himself. To be precise, four weeks ago, Auguste only knew that Jacques and Lu Yuan were attacked by the big octopus together, and knew that Jacques had an accident. At that time, it was confirmed that Jacques had died. Only those who have the right to issue wanted warrants, such as ‘Shadow Governor’ Aldridge, or the royal families.
The real confirmation that Jacques really passed away was after seeing Lu Yuan, that was three days ago.
"Four weeks ... not until now ..." The woman behind withdrew the thin sword. "Why don't you die!" A slim cowhide boot kicked heavily on his face!
...
Half an hour later, Auguste, who was beaten, had a swollen nose and a broken shirt, squatting there, staring silently at the ground. Still put on a look like Ren Renqian.
Next to him, a young woman in a red skirt and long red hair with a flame-like appearance. Pinching his waist gasping, he was obviously tired.
But in the whole process, the old Flio had no awareness of the outside world. He had been trembling to sort out the relics of Jacques and touched this. Look at that, Lao Tears.
"Asshole! Asshole!" The woman scolded irritably. But looking at August's counsel, he could not continue to beat with his hands and feet. Anyway, she also knew that Jacques ’death was not August ’s fault. As a child, no matter what happened, Auguste always kept Jacques behind, and he was even more dear to Jacques than his own sister. "Speak! What's the specific thing ?! And, why didn't your captain, the **** called the" Magic "come ?! Jacques sold his life to him, is it okay for him to show up! "
"The captain didn't know that Jacques still had his family ..." As the red woman was about to flutter again, August immediately added, "But he gave me this! He said ... this is Jacques' pride!" Steve took off another backpack on her body, and the woman noticed that the backpack was always protected by Auguste. Even when she was beaten by her, she was not hurt-even though she did not use her full strength, she could It can be seen that Auguste's strength is now much stronger than her. The woman can't help but snorted, but he is not embarrassed.
"Bring it out!" The woman in red sorted out her saber. "Let me see what this guy has to say, which will make ... Jacque proud."
August opened the backpack solemnly and took out a huge transparent jar. His cautious move made the old Flio also look away.
The jar is made of thick glass, and wax and lacquer are used to block all the gaps in the lid. The jar was full of transparent liquid, with a bulging bubble inside it, the size of a football, something like an eyeball and an oyster. The woman looked at him suspiciously, and Auguste placed the heavy jar on the ground. The woman and the old Flio watched it carefully for a long time, only to find that this thing was actually a bowl-shaped suction cup, and it was a bowl-shaped suction cup that was cut out from a larger limb!
The old man raised his head in surprise. He was not just a rookie who had only been in the sea for a few days. He was an old sea wolf with decades of sailing experience! He saw at a glance that the suction cup was on the octopus' wrists and feet-but just a suction cup as big as a human head, so how long is the tentacle with this wrist and foot, and how huge should that monster be? !
He continued to watch carefully. In the center of the suction cup, he found a round lead shot that penetrated the suction cup. The cut was just right, just to let the lead shot show a small half from the back ...
"Kraken !?" Father Frio said with a trembling voice. The woman in red was stunned for a while, and then surprised! She opened her mouth wide, but was completely speechless! "The North Sea, Atlantic and Caribbean hunters" have been wreaking havoc on the ocean for a thousand years, and there are countless sea boats falling under its claws. Everyone's childhood disaster villain ...
"Yes ..." August nodded. "The Norwegian sea monster attacked the 'Maria'. Jacques and Captain Lu Yuan collaborated, and they killed this big octopus. But both the ship and Jacques ... Captain Yuan was sitting on the corpse of a Norwegian sea monster and was blown into the open sea by the storm before returning to the Caribbean recently. "
The Norwegian sea monster is dead? !
The woman and Frio are shocked and ... silent. It was shocking that the Norwegian sea monster was killed. It was silent ... because they knew that Auguste said it must be a beautification ... If Jacques killed the big octopus, he should survive. Only right. It should be that the captain killed the big octopus and then shared this glory with Jacques.
"Jacque's body ..." This is what Frio cares about.
"Carrying with the ship," August said immediately, knowing what Grandpa Flio was worried about. Jacques ’body was not eaten by the big octopus, and he believed Lu Yuan to say that. "Captain Lu Yuan personally arranged it after killing Kraken, according to the captain's specifications." It means using the captain's bed as a coffin and sinking with the ship. This is the highest level.
Seeing the two people start to change their attitudes, August immediately retold in detail. Lu Yuan told him the whole process of killing the octopus-Lu Yuan and Jacques fought side by side, holding each other against the Norwegian sea monsters, and no one escaped. The Norwegian sea monster then dragged the ship into the deep sea. Unfortunately, Jacques died, and after Yuan Yuan temporarily placed Jacques, he jumped into the mouth of the big octopus and killed the big octopus from the inside ...
of course. Lots of details Lu Yuan said to beautify and modify it, and then August did it again-for example, in the description, the role of Jacques is more exaggerated. And jumping into the mouth of the big octopus is also more dramatic-anyway, it is dead, no one knows that it has too many teeth to cut potato shreds.
The whole process sounds. It was as if Jacques had completed 90% of the front, and Lu Yuan made a goal.
after a long time. Frio picked up the jar with difficulty and walked towards the back of the shop.
"Grandpa Frio?" August stood up at a loss, but the old man Flio just waved his hand behind him, and he didn't want to see him again for a while.
August felt extremely sad, but the strong face turned around and shouted at the woman, "Coustina Kristina." They had been fighting for a while when they were young, and they got along well. But because of Kristina's mother ... and then the news was cut off, he didn't expect to see it here today.
"Humph!" The red lady named Christina looked at him coldly. "After receiving your letter, grandpa and father are very happy. You know, my father has never been able to regenerate a son, So my mother no longer objected to acknowledging Jacque ’s identity. Of course, your fame also played a big role ... Father ’s letter sent me to arrange a place for Jacques to live in London. I contacted everything in the UK, but I could n’t wait When you come to Jacques, you can only come and see ... I didn't expect it to be so! Damn it! "
"Sorry, Cousin Christina. I didn't take care of Jacques!" Auguste bowed his head again. He was almost two meters tall, but he was shrunken in front of Christina, looking a little funny.
"It's your business!" Christina said impatiently. "You weren't on the boat at the time! And Jacques wasn't a child anymore. He can take care of himself, he has his own choice! Just ... you Captain bastard, take me to see him! "
"What are you going to do?" Auguste panicked ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ I see what he has the ability to kill Kraken! Kristina raised her eyebrows. "I want to use my brother's blood to build his own reputation!" I want to see if he is qualified enough! "
"Don't make trouble, grandma ..." August helped him.
"Huh ?!" Kristina glared, her green eyes suddenly shivering August. At this time, something that I had forgotten as a child seemed to emerge again ... He couldn't help but pinch his legs.
"It's a cousin! Really, no need to go. Our captain can hit me with one hand ..." Hearing this, Kristina's eyes lit up suddenly, and Augustus suddenly Secretly crying, why did I forget Kristina's competitive temperament again.
But before he could continue to explain, "Cang Yao", Kristina's thin sword reached his neck again, she looked at him with a sneer, and said softly. "Do you want to rebel against me? Dear Augustus ... I didn't expect you to become masculine when you grow up."
"I ... this will take you there." Auguste didn't care about the sword around his neck, but he was afraid of the sultry leg. (To be continued ...)
