Chapter 195 Sleeping

Zhang Heng handed over the matter of the inner ghost to Karina. Since the Jackdaw returned to Hong Kong until now, he has not closed his eyes, so when the matter is over, he sent a message to guard the fort with Honig as agreed. After the statement, he and Annie went back to the place where they lived, and went to catch up on sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dusk.

Zhang Heng glanced at the red-haired girl who was still sleeping soundly beside him. The latter's sleeping position was extremely dishonest, with one foot and one hand resting on his body, and the mouth was still drooling. The most amazing thing was that Annie put her feet on Zhang Heng's chest, but her hands on Zhang Heng's thighs.

Zhang Heng had no idea how she unconsciously turned herself upside down while she was asleep.

Moreover, the red-haired girl's legs couldn't rest, and Zhang Heng woke up only after being kicked to the chin by her.

Zhang Heng took some time to slowly move the latter's legs and hands away, trying not to wake Annie up, but he obviously worried too much. The red-haired girl's sleep quality has always been very good, and she can sleep well even if someone is playing a gong next to her ear. go down.

But on the other hand, she has a bestial sense of danger.

Even in a deep sleep, as long as there is danger approaching her, she can open her eyes immediately.

Zhang Heng didn't know how to explain this phenomenon. He could only attribute this behavior to instinct. Annie had an inherent wildness.

What the red-haired girl said to him that night reminded him of the little fox in The Little Prince.

Because the little fox fell in love with the little prince, he knew that parting would come and was still willing to be domesticated, just because he wanted to think of the color of the little prince's hair when he saw the wheat field.

Zhang Heng picked up his coat from the chair beside him and put it lightly on Annie's body. Then he went downstairs bare-chested and went to the small vegetable garden he built to pull some vegetables and dig out some potatoes. When he arrived at the little girl in the neighbor's house, Zhang Heng picked some cactus fruits for the latter.

Before this round of dungeons, Zhang Heng has never eaten this kind of thing. As the name suggests, this thing is the fruit of the cactus, which is native to North and South America. It usually grows on the top of the cactus. The skin is covered with barbs. You need to cut it before eating. Cut off the tail, then plan the skin, and pick out the star anise thorns inside.

The taste is... sour and sweet. It was a bit strange when I first ate it. It is said that the Indians like this fruit very much and use it as medicine.

As a result, the little girl ran away before he walked over, as she had done several times before.

Zhang Heng didn't care either. Parents of girls at this age often teach them not to contact strangers.

Zhang Heng took those prickly pear fruits and vegetables back to the living room. Rather than eating them raw, he preferred to dig out the pulp, mash it, mix it with honey and drink it with water.

When Annie got up from the bed, Zhang Heng had already prepared dinner and sprinkled salt on the grilled fish.

Life in the 18th century was not as interesting as later generations. There were no mobile phones, no computers, and even few books. Especially after going to sea every time, a lot of mental stress would be accumulated, and everyone had ways to relieve stress.

For example, Annie can maintain a good mood through fighting, Billy likes to stay with his family, and Zhang Heng also has his own way to adjust his mood. Taking care of the small vegetable garden and cooking are his two favorite ways to relax.

The former is a hobby he cultivated in the first round of dungeons. At that time, he was alone on a deserted island. Apart from the needs of survival, he had to constantly find things to do for himself to keep his spirits up. Repairing and expanding the vegetable garden was not just for him. Come to points, and at the same time he can get satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment from it.

Watching the seeds you have planted so hard grow and eventually bear fruit is itself healing.

The same goes for cooking.

It's a pity that the pace of life in modern society is getting faster and faster, and fewer and fewer people are doing things like this that require energy and calmness to reap happiness.

On the contrary, as a pirate in the Caribbean, he has more time to spend on trivial matters in life.

Because the game time is unprecedentedly long this time, Zhang Heng is already planning to learn other things after the knife skill and sailing sailing reached lv2, among which language is his first choice. After several rounds of games, he has fully realized the importance of language Importance, communication is definitely one of the most important skills of human beings. In the copy of Mannerheim's defense line, he suffered a lot from language barriers.

Although he has mastered two foreign languages ​​(he only knows a few words in Finnish), he has surpassed most ordinary people, but because of the uncertainty of each round of dungeons, it is obviously not enough.

At this time, the advantage of forming a team comes to the fore. At least each person can choose to specialize in one foreign language, so that a team of six can master six foreign languages.

A single player like Zhang Heng can only rely on himself, but fortunately he has enough time, Zhang Heng has already planned to use these ten years to master French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Latin. Study it once, at least to the level of being able to communicate and understand text.

If Zhang Heng remembers correctly, the beginning of the 18th century should be the last glory of Latin. As the official language of the Holy See, it has occupied a mainstream position in European countries since the first century BC. At that time, it was similar to French, Italian and Spanish. The status is probably only equivalent to the local dialect.

However, with the decline of the Holy See and the national awakening brought about by the Renaissance, Latin gradually lost its international status. Until the modern world, only Vatican is still using Latin.

Of course, there are still many differences between the language at this time and that of later generations, but basic communication should be no problem.

…………

Zhang Heng was still waiting for Sam, the Black Prince, to recommend him to join the island's council, but he unexpectedly received a system notification that the main task had been completed the next morning.

After using the method of elimination to rule out several suspected factors, the most likely thing left is that Billy has just completed the recruitment of another batch of personnel. The crew on the Jackdaw exceeds 70 people. Zhang Heng did not expect this. The so-called criterion for establishing power on the island turned out to be a simple requirement on the number of people.

It seems that he thought the problem was too complicated before. Combined with a year of normal game time, this is indeed a more realistic goal, but now that he has reached this point, Zhang Heng has no intention of giving up. He will stay in this world for almost another ten years, and the preparations Zhang Heng is making now are all aimed at this.

Whether it is joining the parliament, supporting Karina against the Black Merchants Alliance, or choosing to form an alliance with Honig to help Laeli, he is also laying the foundation for himself.

I recommend "The Little Prince", which I personally think is the most healing book. Uh, just one update today.
