"Don't worry, the Governor won't do that." Charles said to the man in front of him
"How do you know that you are the governor?" The passerby looked at the guy in front of him who didn't even have eyebrows on his face.
"Of course he is—" Lily was about to retort, but Charles directly pressed it back.
"Let's go, let's look elsewhere." Charles turned and walked out of the square.
There is no point in arguing with him. When the new law is put on the sign again, he will understand it naturally.
Charles and Lily continued to walk forward, and the two crossed the square to the so-called central island.
Of course, due to the lack of building materials, the island center is not much better than before, but the people here are better dressed.
In addition to the staff serving the Governor's Mansion, the people living here are the exploratory crew who worked hard with Charles at the beginning.
The sparse number of people makes it a bit empty here. Except for some houses, there are some stones on some open spaces.
"What is this?" Charles took it out and found something carved on the stone. "John 3"
"Mr. Charles, I know this. Jumping told me that everyone used these stones to mark this as his land. After the route is open in the future, they will build many houses here, and then rent these houses out. Make money."
"Oh, this is the first time I have seen you." Charles put the stone back in his hand.
At this moment, Charles suddenly saw that the guy who came across was a bit familiar.
That's the chef Frey on the Narwhal. At this moment, he hugged the two women left and right, talking and laughing while walking.
Standing tall and thin between two plump women, the scene seemed a bit funny.
"Mr. Chef!" Lily yelled, making Frey notice this.
When he saw that it was his own captain, Frey showed a hint of surprise on his face and ran over quickly. "Captain? Is your injury healed?"
"Much better." Charles pointed at the woman next to him? "Who are these two?"
Frey said with a big smile on his face: "I just came home four days ago, and they stood at the door waiting for me, begging me to let them be my wife. Where do you think such good things can be found? Of course I I agreed."
"I don't see it, did the two of them see you as a talented person in the island heart?"
"Yeah, but isn't this a great thing? Captain, don't you know? This woman's skin is really soft to the touch, much softer than the ones sold on the street. If you don't believe me, touch it."
"I didn't see Lily still there, what are you talking about?" Charles frowned slightly.
Noting the white mouse on Charles's palm, Frey was a little embarrassed. "Lily, sorry, sorry."
"How are you doing on the island? Nothing happened, right?"
"You mean the Finance Department of the Governor's Mansion? Then you can rest assured, I am absolutely fine. I'm working hard."
Speaking of this, Frey paused for a moment and hesitated and said: "Captain, we are all our own. You know my business. I don’t know anything except cooking. You’d better still I'm really afraid of making trouble if I find someone else."
"Don't do this, then what are you going to do?"
The boss with eyes widened, "Captain, why do you have to do something? Isn't it good to have fun all the time? Don't we become the Island Heart people just for enjoyment?"
"Where is the light? You don't plan to go anymore?"
Frey smiled. "Captain, if it's what you said, it's actually not bad to keep up with than below. There may not be such a woman on the door, you say yes."
Charles stared at him firmly, this look made Frey feel a little hairy. "Captain, did I do something wrong?"
"Nothing, you did a good job." Charles turned and left with Lily.
Charles walked down the street and looked at his crew quarters. He found that the island was corroding the crew more than he thought.
Most of the crew can't wait to start the life of the island people in their imagination.
Seeing their grandiose looks, Charles came up with a word in his mind, nouveau riche.
Of course, not everyone is so depraved. The doctor stays in the room all day long not knowing what to do, and the bandage is devoted to the naval construction of Hope Island.
Finally Charles found his chief engineer, James, in a banana field.
James, who was tall, wore a huge hat and carefully inspected the leaves of the banana tree in the field.
Seeing Charles waving to himself, James greeted him with a simple smile on his face, "Captain, is your injury healed? Little Lily, how are you."
"Not bad. I just saw you so carefully, do you know this?"
"Well, my grandfather actually took me to grow ryegrass, but then my grandfather fell ill and the employer didn't want me. I was helpless to be a sailor at sea."
"Really? Did a woman climb onto your bed?"
"Captain, what are you talking about, I was married, and my wife has children in her belly."
When it comes to children from birth, James's face is full of happiness. "I really want to see them right away. They should have been born now, and I don't know if it is a boy or a girl."
Charles looked at his smile, thought for a while and said: "Your wish is for your wife and children to be by your side?"
"Haha~EbookFREE.me~ James scratched his head in embarrassment, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly put his hand down, his face straightened.
"Mr. Charles, but don't worry, as long as you need, I can put everything down and get on the deck again!"
Charles shook his head. "No, it's over. Just stay on the island. You really want to help me fix the agriculture on Hope Island."
Without waiting for James to reply, Charles turned and left. This time he did not turn to go to the shed, but walked in the sun.
Charles in the sun was divided into two worlds with the others in the straw shed.
Feeling Charles' emotional change, Lily raised her head and looked at him.
"Mr. Charles, are you unhappy?"
"How come, it's just a bit of emotion, everyone is very happy and happy, and never go to sea again to be scared."
Charles always thought he and the crew were the same kind of people, full of eagerness for the surface,
But in the final analysis, they are not surface people, and they cannot understand their own desires.
Women, family, money, everything they needed was found. For them now, the place of light is just a dispensable place.
Fortunately, the surface exit has been found, and it doesn't matter if they follow it or not.
Charles turned his head and looked at the dark sea beside him. He suddenly felt that everything that had happened in the past nine years was like a dream.
"Mr. Charles, don't worry, no matter where you go, I will always follow you." Lily held Charles's coat and leaned her head against it.
Charles touched Lily's hair with his hand and looked up at the sunlight crack in the sky. "This dream will finally wake up."
