Chapter 158 Appointment on the Island
The five days were neither long nor short, and passed quickly, and soon Charles, who was dressed in gauze, could walk slowly on the sand by himself to bask in the sun.
But every time he walked out, Charles always felt that his first mate looked at him strangely.
"Captain, this is normal. If someone wears the same clothes as me every day, I will be very upset." Dipper, who was handing coconut juice to Char, said in a low voice.
"Forget about him, how are things going on your side?" Charles asked with his back against the shade of a tree.
, "Hey, Captain, please spare me, I am not made to be a black dog at all. When I was a beggar before, they were the most annoying."
"If you don't know how to learn, didn't you find a few people to teach you? You are only 17 now. What are you afraid of? If you fail, start over again. If you can't learn in one year, you can't learn in two or three years. You must It's our people."
Dipper scratched his head in embarrassment. "That would catch a lot of people by mistake. Why do I have to do it? Didn't the second officer want to be this?"
"Krona has his own affairs. You are young and malleable. The job of a boatswain is similar to that of a sheriff. Now that there are few people on the island, you can just try your hand. When there are more people, you will not be able to take over again. It's easy."
"Captain, are we really not going to sea in the future?" Di Pu spread his hands and feet, lying on the ground in a large font. There is some melancholy between the words.
Charles took a sip of the fresh and sweet coconut water. "Maybe."
He's found the surface, the Narwhal's mission is done, and his seafaring career really seems to be over
"When I think about staying on the island for the rest of my life, I suddenly feel comfortable at sea."
"Live longer on the shore, isn't it better than fighting for your life at sea? Isn't everyone joining the exploration ship for this day?"
"I thought so before, but when such a day came suddenly, I was not as happy as I imagined. I still felt that I was going to sea with you for excitement."
Charles looked at the bosun lying on the sand with a look of disgust. If it wasn't for his inability to move now, he really wanted to run over and kick him.
A good life, but a hard life.
"Captain, do you remember when we met? I fought with other beggars for a piece of black bread that fell on the ground, but I was too weak to grab it and was beaten up by others. It was really painful. I I still remember."
"In the end, you said to me that you want to eat? I nodded, and then you took me to the Mouse."
"It's nothing. It was just a coincidence that one of the sailors died at that time."
"Hey, no matter what the reason is, you saved my life anyway."
When Dipper was twisting and stretching on the ground, Charles suddenly saw a black mass at the base of his neck.
"What's that on your neck?"
Dipper immediately sat up, and excitedly unbuttoned his shirt to show off. "I think your tattoo looks pretty, and I have the same tattoo."
On Dipper's neck was tattooed a dead spider curled up in a ball.
"Touch!" The coconut shell hit Di Pu directly, and Charles reprimanded Di Pu severely: "You know what it is and dare to tattoo it on your body? Hurry up and get rid of it!!"
This kind of imprint is something of a cult, and God knows what bad influence it will have on the body.
"Captain, it's just a tattoo, it's not a big deal." Di Pu didn't care.
Just as Charles was walking towards Dipper, he saw people walking towards the thatched shed holding a few simple umbrellas, the leader being his first bandage mate.
"There's someone...you see...do you want to use it...he wants to see you..."
Charles followed the bandaged fingers to look at a handsome young man with blue eyes and white hair beside him. White shirt, black trousers, and a blue sweater. It is very out of tune with the surrounding environment.
"Good morning, wise and powerful Governor. I know that you are happy and confused when you occupy a new island. You don't know what people to hire, and you don't know what to pay them. At this time, I should be used. It's time." As soon as the young man opened his mouth, he took the right to speak in an instant.
"Who are you?"
"Under Leonardo, with all due respect, it is very unprofessional for you to push all kinds of trivial matters on the island to a layman. If this continues, your island will become a sticky pot of chaos Mushroom soup."
Charles saw this guy's goal, and after a long time he came to apply for the job.
"He is an outsider, so you are an insider?"
"That's right, I used to be the Minister of Administration of Yingdao. My major can solve your question very well. I don't need much. All I need is a small house of 500 square meters in the center of the island and a weekly salary of 30,000. Echo's salary."
Charles walked up to Leonardo and looked at him calmly. "Minister of the Administration Department of Yeongdo? So young?"
"Does the Governor judge a person by age? No matter how old the beggars on the road are, they can only become old beggars from young beggars." Leonardo's eyes were full of confidence and calmness.
Charles put one hand on his shoulder, "I have been to many islands, and it just so happens that Youngdo is one of them. How come I don't remember that you are the chief executive of Youngdo?"
"Governor, how long has it been since you went to Yingdao? The position will also change." Leonardo didn't seem to panic.
Charles stared at his blue pupils, and slowly leaned over. "You should know that the governor was a desperado before, right? If you knew that you lied to me, how do you think I would treat you? The former Minister of Finance of Yingdao?"
Looking at the cold eyes under the bandage in front of him and the iron-hard palm on his shoulder, a drop of cold sweat slid down Leonardo's forehead.
Leonardo clenched his hands tightly, and a confident smile reappeared on his face. "There is nothing uncertain about this. I have indeed served in the role. You can ask anyone from Yingdao."
The strength in Charles' hand slowly relaxed, and he turned his head to look at the bandage, "Okay, he will be the executive minister of our Hope Island in the future, please explain some of your matters to him."
"Hmm..." Bandage nodded, and led Leonardo towards the distant hut.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Charles suddenly felt that the pace of walking with bandages was much easier.
"Captain, you just appointed him like that? Isn't that too hasty? What if he has ulterior motives? What if he is a liar?" Dipper said with wide-eyed eyes.
"That's your business, Chief Dipper, what should you do next, don't I teach you?" Charles returned to his original position and sat down.
Dipper looked around with a perplexed expression, finally sighed helplessly, turned and walked towards the thatched shed. "If this guy is a liar, I'm going to hang him up for a shark!"
"Remember to get the tattoo!"
"I know, I know."
