Chapter 315 The Imprisoned Mermaid (34)
Because of Molly's successive actions, Reg became a little nervous.
Any noise at night, even Molly turning over, would wake Reg.
After a night of light sleep, Reg was in a bad mood and looked very ugly when he woke up the next day.
After fastening the handcuffs back to the bedpost, he left the bedroom. Mark, who was eating black bread on the deck, saw this and felt that something was wrong. He turned around and squatted in a corner.
"Mark! Where are they?"
Hearing the captain's call, Mark quickly swallowed the bread in his mouth.
"My lord! I'm here, my lord." Mark ran out from the corner with a flattering look on his face: "My lord, is there anything else you want me to do?"
Reg had a headache and pinched his nose. "From now on, night patrols will be carried out in shifts of four."
Mark was stunned for a moment.
There were a total of fifty people who went to sea, but now there are only fifteen left after being killed to death. There are four people patrolling at night, which means that each person has to take a night shift every three or four days. There will definitely be resentment.
Mark immediately felt overwhelmed.
But he didn't dare disobey any of Reg's orders, so he nodded, but he was thinking about how to tell the group of sailors.
Mark cursed Reg silently in his heart.
Sure enough, when everyone was resting after dinner that night, Mark brought up the matter.
Everyone expressed their incomprehension.
"Four-man patrol?"
"First Captain, we are already on our way back. Why do we need to add more people for the night patrol?"
"That's right! This is totally unreasonable!"
"Hey! To be honest, patrolling with four people is really too tiring for the body."
"Good God, what on earth was the Captain thinking?"
"Wilson and York are both dead! Nothing happened that night! It was just that the wind and waves were a little strong, and they didn't reef the sails in time, causing the ship to shake a little! This isn't an unforgivable crime, is it?"
"That's right! The captain is so crazy!"
People didn't understand why the two night patrol sailors were executed, and now they are required to increase the number of people on night patrol from two to four. How can people rest when the day and night are reversed?
The noisy sound gave Mark a headache, and he quickly put his index finger in front of his mouth.
"Hush! Hush—keep your voices down!"
"Hey, you guys! Can you keep your voices down?" Mark was so anxious. Reg's bedroom was upstairs. Even if they were not afraid of death, he was!
"You better shout louder! Better go up with a megaphone and shout at the captain!"
Mark glared angrily and racked his brains to come up with an excuse: "The wind and waves that night might be a sign of a bigger storm coming soon. Night is the most likely time for accidents. The captain doesn't want us to go to see God in our sleep!"
"Then why add two more people?"
Mark said, “What if a real storm comes and someone slacks off like Wilson and York did?”
Some people think that what Mark said seems to make sense, while some old sailors think that this worry is unnecessary.
"All the wine on the ship has been poured out. There's nothing to worry about."
But no matter what, the four-person patrol has become an established fact.
Fortunately, we are on our way back now, and everyone is just complaining. After this period of time, we can go home and lie down comfortably for a while.
"Then let's start with the four of you tonight. Remember, be sure to guard your own area. Don't be lazy or take naps!"
...
After three days of peace, Margaret began to feel a little bored.
It's different from the feeling of being on the fleet. At least on the fleet you can observe so many large ships every day and chat with General Perez.
On this small boat, Anna was the only one she could talk to, and Her Royal Highness the Princess would not lower herself to talk to the guards and crew members.
So Margarina began to feel bored.
"When will we reach the shore? Living like this every day is so boring."
Anna had a table and chairs set up on the deck, with some snacks and a cup of coffee on the table.
"Your Highness, the journey will probably take about twenty days." Anna stood aside and held an umbrella for the princess.
"It's so boring." Magalina took out a telescope. There was nothing to see in the endless sea. She could only look at Reg's ship in front.
At this time, she saw Mark carrying a bucket of fish and placing it on the deck on the second floor. After a while, Reg brought the bucket of fish in.
"Does Uncle Reg have something in his bedroom?"
"Octopus? Shark? Or what?"
Magalina complained in her heart, she didn't expect Uncle Reg to be so leisurely and leisurely as to raise ferocious beasts in the ocean.
"I really want to see what Uncle Reg has."
Margarita put down the telescope, picked up the coffee and took a sip.
After a while, she heard Odin's cry, and after circling in the air for a while, she landed on the railing on the second floor.
Reg came out of the house and fed Odin some fish meat.
It has been sunny these days, with no clouds in the sky and no sign of rain.
The sailors had all been on guard for a whole night, and the feeling of having their day and night reversed was really uncomfortable, and they all complained.
But they didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction in front of Reg and could only complain a few words in private.
The young sailor was in good health and could endure it, after all, Reg gave him a lot of gold coins.
The older sailors were dissatisfied and complained in their hearts, thinking that they would not participate in His Royal Highness's sailing operations next time.
Complaints are complaints, but who dares to express dissatisfaction? His Royal Highness is famous for his bad temper. So many people have lost their heads before him, and no one dares to offend Reg.
...
Reg could actually sense the crew members' dissatisfaction, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
After all, he offered so many benefits. If you could become his crew member and go to sea with him, you could get ten times the reward of others.
What's more, there are only about twenty days left, and with the princess's fleet behind them, they dare not rebel at this time.
He was now more focused on keeping an eye on Molly.
Maybe it was because of the repeated failed attempts to escape that Molly was in a bad mood recently. She always lay listlessly in the water tank, and she didn't struggle or resist even if Reg did anything to her.
When Molly was in her prime, Reg always hated her uncooperative and non-compliant temper.
But Molly had no interest in anything and even ate much less fish, which made Reg worried again.
He seemed to prefer watching Molly glare at him and talk back to him.
Now Molly lies at the bottom of the tank all day long. I don’t know if the injury from that night has not healed yet or what, but she is not interested in storybooks or flowers anymore.
Molly was in such a bad mood that even her scales had lost their luster and her tail didn't even move.
Reg checked her fishtail and found that the bleeding areas had healed and there was nothing wrong.
