Count of Monte Cristo

When night came, the crew began to make preparations.The sea was calm, and the moon had not yet come out of the sea, but the stars gave them a light.The first mate took the helm, and the captain said that he would approach the island in about two hours.

Lin Ke stood on the deck, and the Maiden was rounding the Orb Island, and they were going around this rugged island to reach their trading place - Monte Cristo.Edmund commanded the helmsman to spin, and the Maiden was moving very fast.The small island of Monte Cristo is bathed in the blue ocean, the moon rises, and the whole island seems to be covered with a layer of silver, which is very beautiful.

The sailors began to move the goods in an orderly manner.

Lin Ke still followed Edmond as usual. Edmond seemed to be preoccupied. Seeing that Edmund messed up the goods, Lin Ke asked aloud, "Edmond, you didn't sleep last night. Okay?" He had a reason for saying that, when he got up to go to the bathroom last night, he found Edmund leaning on the railing looking out to sea, smoking a cigar.To be honest, Lin Ke was very surprised, because he hadn't seen Edmund smoking on the ship for more than two months, so he thought he didn't smoke.Lin Ke originally wanted to get closer, but he had a sudden shock in his heart. He felt that Edmund was unfamiliar at the moment. Although his expression and face could not be seen clearly in the night, Lin Ke instinctively refused to approach him. Danger and fear.

Edmund was a little anxious, "No, let's unload the goods quickly." Lin Ke didn't say any more.

He glanced at this small island, Monte Cristo, and felt very familiar. Where did he hear it?Lin Ke pondered.

All the cargo was unloaded in the middle of the night.But their trading partner has not yet arrived, the captain said they will spend the night on the island of Monte Cristo tonight, and set sail for Livona tomorrow night.The goods they exchanged this time will be shipped there to be sold. Livona is a place where business is very prosperous.

The sailors slept on the boat, but First Officer Jacob and Edmund set up tents on the island, and the captain asked them to guard the goods on the island.Lin Ke is also going to get involved, he thinks camping in the wild is really great.Unable to resist his dawdling, Edmund agreed to his request.Lin Ke also brought over his playing cards, and several people came to the island after having dinner on the boat.The tent has been set up, and several people started to fight the landlord.

The wind on the island is still very strong.The two tents were blown up and the mountain wind howled past. Lin Ke felt a little scary. He played a card and asked Jacob, "You seem to be familiar with this island? This Christ Is there any legend about the mountain island?" When Jacob was on the boat, he said that there were many animals on the island, and if the captain had to wait for a day, he would go hunting with a shotgun tomorrow, and other sailors also echoed.And when setting up the tent, Jacob took Lin Ke to find some wild fruits and a lot of wood and came back. They built a fire, and they were very familiar with the terrain of the island.

Jacob replied casually, "There are no legends. We often choose this place as a transfer station and have been here several times. Let me tell you, if you cross the thorny forest tomorrow, you will definitely be able to catch a lot of wild rabbits and pick them up." Roast the skin and eat it, it tastes delicious." At the end, he had a salivating expression.

"Then are there any caves here?" Edmund asked, and he played a card casually.

"Yes, if there is, we can sleep in a tent in the cave, and we can also block the sea wind. You can hear how terrifying the sea wind blows." Lin Ke felt a little lingering.

"Come on, you have a good idea." Jacob laughed. "I've been here so many times, but I haven't seen any caves on this island?"

Lin Ke didn't care, he just thought he had heard the name Monte Cristo somewhere, but couldn't remember it.

Edmund's playing cards were all spilled, Lin Ke turned his head to look at him, Edmond was sitting by the fire, his face was very red from the reflection, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.Just at this time, a gust of wind blew from the sea, the playing cards were blown a little far, and the hair of several people was also a little messy, the sea wind blew the firewood almost out.Lin Ke's eyes were also red, and he yawned. "It's gone! It's gone! I'm going to sleep!"

"You kid, don't you think I'm about to win, so you don't want to play!" Jacob was a little dissatisfied, Lin Ke was blown by the sea wind until tears came out, he was also sleepy, he waved his hands and walked into the tent and lay down down.

Edmund went to pick up all the playing cards and tidied them up. Then he lit the firewood again, and the fire was flickering, which made Edmond's expression dark.

Not long after, Edmond also lay down in Linko's tent.Lin Ke turned around in a daze to make room for Edmund.

At dawn, Lin Ke woke up.

He got up and rubbed his eyes, the others were gone.Lin Ke walked out of the tent and saw that the people on the Maid had also landed on the island. A group of sailors were talking together. Great place to go hunting.Lin Ke walked a few steps and heard them say: "There probably won't be any large animals on this small island, but you still have to be careful, two people, and hold your guns and bullets."

"Come on, Jacob, you're so talkative."

"Has Philips prepared the ingredients and chopping board?"

"That guy is still sound asleep on the boat. Hahaha..." A group of people laughed.

"Eisen, you are awake, go and wake up our chief chef, Mr. Philips, we are still waiting for him to show his skills. Hehe..." Jacob smiled maliciously, and Lin Ke rolled his eyes at him, " I'm hunting with you too, give me a gun." He reached out to take out a gun in Jacob's right hand.Jacob turned around, "Come on, don't make trouble." Linko wanted to grab it.

"Can I go?" a voice asked, and Linko stopped fighting for the gun, looked back - it was Steven, he got off the boat and walked into them.Steven was wearing a white shirt, with a snow-white face and shiny blond hair. He looked so handsome in the morning sun.

Jacob didn't speak, Steven smiled, "My marksmanship is good, and," he took the gun in Jacob's hand with his slender fingers, and then fired a shot at a fruit tree in the distance. gun.A fruit fell down! "Is this okay?"

Jacob scratched his head, his face blushed suddenly, and his voice was buzzing, "Okay. You can take this gun. You and Sam are in a team."

Lin Ke despised him and said in a low voice, "I've seen your fairness and justice."

Jacob said in a rough voice, "Go, go and wake Philip, you talk too much nonsense." Linko didn't bother to talk to him, and looked for Edmund, but he didn't see him when he came out, so he stopped Sarah. Tom, "Hey Sam, have you seen Edmund?"

Sam is not very old, but he has a very rough face. What doesn't match his age and face is his voice. His voice is very nice, and his voice is smiling.Every time he heard Sam speak, Lin Ke thought more than once that if he could reach the 21st century, he would definitely become a dubbing master, and maybe he could even make a record!Listening to his voice is a pleasure, "Edmond seems to be walking over there with a shotgun. Eisen, this is for you, maybe it will help you." Sam handed him a net bag, and Lin Ke took it , "Thank you, Sam."

"Sam, can you give me one too?" Steven came over at some point and asked with a smile.

Lin Ke also blushed when he saw Sam, with shyness on that rough face. "Okay, do you want the big one or the small one?" he asked flatteringly.

Lin Ke suddenly smiled unkindly, "Sam, you are just like Jacob, fair and just." Sam didn't understand what Linko meant, his eyes were fixed on Steven, and he was flipping through those net bags in his hand.

However, Steven's face darkened, and his voice was like ice, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Ke was taken aback, knowing that he had said something wrong, "I'm sorry...I, I don't mean anything." Can make some jokes, sometimes with a little color, usually laugh it off.Lin Ke felt that he was being reckless, and he spoke anxiously, trying to explain that he had no malicious intentions, "Steven, you, I..." But Steven turned and left.

Lin Ke stood there annoyed, he looked at Sam, Sam didn't show any expression, and comforted Lin Ke, "Don't worry, it's nothing, maybe Steven is too sensitive." There are no taboos. Before Lin Ke came to the Maiden, he made even more exaggerated jokes.After Lin Ke and Edmond came, probably because Lin Ke was young and had an oriental appearance, he was simply too weak compared to these big guys, like a sheep mixed into a pack of wolves, so They are more restrained.However, Lin Ke was also greatly affected by the immersion of the sailors every day, and sometimes he would follow them to make trouble with others. Last time, they took off Jacob's pants and threw them into the sea together.

Steven is a completely different person from them. Steven usually doesn't like to talk, but he often smiles. His smile is very contagious. He is arrogant and cold, but he is very popular on the ship. He felt that there was a noble temperament in him, and he kept secret about his origin, only saying that he was rescued by them when he was lost in a storm while traveling, and then he would go ashore when the ship reached Sardinia.The gems he carried were his expenses on the ship.Because there are precious gems for the ship, the captain agreed to his request and gave him an independent cabin and two new clothes. Philips would also cook him a separate breakfast every day.

Steven is very knowledgeable, he knows a lot.He often basks in the sun on Class A, where he owns a desk that seems to have been moved out of the captain's cabin. Lin Ke saw Steven writing letters in Latin, and he and the captain communicated in Spanish.When Lin Ke passed the deck again, he saw Edmund's sketch drawn on Steven's drawing board, which was very well drawn, with the same expressions and eyes.

"Hey, Eisen, don't think about it, go find Edmond!" Sam advised him again.

"Okay!" Lin Ke replied, Steven and Jacob had set off together, and Sam was about to chase them.Lin Ke didn't bother anymore, and apologized to him at noon, so he couldn't talk nonsense in the future.
