By the time the fishing boats arrived in Crete, it was close to midnight, but the harbor was bright and many people were waiting.

"What's going on?" Xiao Peng asked Yang Meng.

It was also a vain question to ask, and Yang Meng's expression was more dazed than Xiao Peng's.

Julia walked over at this time, smiling: "I just tweeted a few tweets about what I saw and heard, and that's what I am now." ”

Xiao Peng looked at it, and sure enough, there were many reporters and photographers gathered on the pier.

Well, what a great publicity opportunity this is, Julia has rescued so many Syrian refugees as a public figure, and when will it be better not to publicize it?

Xiao Peng did not have any dissatisfaction with Julia's actions, and this group of refugees has attracted social attention, which will be of great benefit to their future lives.

Xiao Peng did not break his promise, all the refugees, regardless of adults and children, each gave 1,000 euros. I hope they live well.

At this time, the little girl who surrendered in front of the camera walked cautiously accompanied by her father. His father said to Xiao Peng: "Dear Mr. Xiao, my name is Mu Tiyi, I am the father of Amari, and I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you on behalf of all the compatriots who have been rescued by you. ”

After translating the meaning of his words, Xiao Peng waved his hand to signal that it was not necessary.

Mu Tiyi continued: "Dear Mr. Xiao, we don't know how to express our gratitude, as refugees, we have nothing, you not only give us hot food, new clothes, but also give us living funds. This convinces us that Allah is omnipresent. Thank Allah for making us meet you. We don't know how to repay you, we can only repay you with our lives for saving your life. All of us here want to serve you. ”

Xiao Peng was dumbfounded, is this to repay me or to trick me? Xiao Peng nodded, there are a total of thirty-one Syrian refugees here, adult men, four, adult women, thirteen. The rest are children, the youngest is three or four years old, how many mouths do you want me to raise?

But Xiao Peng didn't doubt Mu Tiyi's motives, he should really want to repay. The names of people in Arab countries are not random, such as Muthiyi, which means submissive, and at first glance he was born into a commoner family and served the aristocracy. Her daughter's name is Amari, which means hope. Looking at Amari's age, it should have been born after the war, and the name is a kind of hope for peace.

Xiao Peng sighed: "Thank you for your trust, but I am just a fisherman, and my hometown is in distant China, whether it is language or living habits, it is an extremely unfamiliar environment for you, this is not your best choice at all." ”

Mu Tiyi shook her head and said: "In our most desperate time, Allah sent you to our side, you are the messenger of Allah, you don't have to worry about our uselessness, we were all fishermen before the war, and during the war we took up arms to defend our homeland, and as a result, our people died on the battlefield one by one." We are the last survivors of our Schatter tribe, which is why we are refugees. Keep the last spark. ”

It turns out that this is the real source of Amari's name. Syria is not a true tribal state, but there are many small tribes. Many tribes have completely disappeared from history with the war. These refugees are the last hope of the Schatthart tribe.

Xiao Peng thought for a while: "Mu Tiyi, it's better to be like this, you guys settle down in Greece first and see if it's suitable for the environment here, it will take a long time for us to return to Huaxia all the way." You think about it during this time, I will leave you my address in Huaxia, if you can live here, forget it here, if you can't tolerate you here, go to Huaxia to find me. ”

"But。。。。。。 Mu Tiyi wanted to say something.

Xiao Peng interrupted him: "We still have to go a long way by water, even if you can stand it, you have to think about the children, this matter is settled." ”

Mu Tiyi, a man worthy of the name of a submissive man, gave Xiao Peng a salute with his hand on his chest, and he took the lead, and all the refugees gave Xiao Peng a salute. Julia hurriedly filmed the shocking scene.

"The boat is docked. Yang Meng's voice came from the radio.

"Let's go, let's go ashore first. Xiao Peng commanded everyone to get off the boat.

As soon as everyone stepped onto the deck, the dock was full of flashing lights. Especially the moment Julia walked out, cheers rang out on the dock.

"You're so well-known? Xiao Peng looked at Julia.

Julia pouted, "You don't know me." ”

"You could think of us as being unheard. Xiao Peng spread his hands.

"You。。。。。 Julia pursed her lips and smiled, Xiao Peng was stunned after seeing it, it was really, beautiful and stunned。。。。。。

Julia was very satisfied with Xiao Peng's expression, waved to the people on the dock, and slowly walked off the Vladimir, full of stars.

Xiao Peng wanted to leave the scene directly, but was surrounded by reporters.

Well, it was Julia and Yang Meng who were surrounded.

Julia was surrounded as a big star, Xiao Peng could understand why Yang Meng was concerned by reporters? Xiao Peng and Wang Hu stood aside smoking cigarettes, watching Yang Meng bragging in the pile of reporters.

"You say those reporters are blind, how can they interview Mengzi?" Xiao Peng, who felt neglected, asked Wang Hu. Well, if the reporter was interviewing him, Xiao Peng would be disgusted, but if he skipped himself directly, Xiao Peng felt uncomfortable again.

Wang Hu laughed and said: "Boss, in the eyes of those reporters now, Brother Meng is the captain." ”

"Why?" Xiao Peng was puzzled.

Wang Hu pointed at Yang Meng: "Look at Brother Meng's appearance, holding a pipe, the muscles are almost on his face." How do you look like an old fisherman. Besides, the fishing boat is not a cruise ship, it is driven by the third mate, and generally the captain drives the boat. So it's not surprising that this is the case. ”

"This showy guy. Xiao Peng snorted, Sister Ni, is there anyone like Yang Meng who is interviewed? Are you going to be interviewed or are you taking advantage of it?" ”

Port Said, the port of departure at the Mediterranean end of the Suez Canal. The Suez Canal is closed to ships passing alone, and they must join a formation here to pass through. Xiao Peng had to arrive at the anchorage in the southern area outside Port Said within the scheduled time, where he would form a formation and pass through the Suez Canal under the command. The distance is long and the time is tight, Xiao Peng doesn't have so much time to waste.

Seeing that Yang Meng was still bragging in the pile of reporters, Xiao Peng directly grabbed Yang Meng and left: "Damn, just have fun, you are still addicted to playing? Hug other reporters and don't let go? Leave immediately, there is not so much time to waste." ”

"I know, let go, can't you give me some face?" Xiao Peng screamed and was dragged aside by Xiao Peng.

Seeing that Xiao Peng was leaving, Julia walked over and hugged Xiao Peng goodbye. After the two looked at each other for a long time, they smiled, I don't know if they will see each other again, but Xiao Peng swears that this woman will always exist in his memory.

Thank you, Julia, for the wonderful memories I have。。。。。。

And the refugees saluted directly to Xiao Peng to say goodbye. Xiao Peng smiled and waved at them, and walked onto the boat, followed by Yang Meng and Wang Hu on the left and right.

When the reporters saw this scene, they realized that the 'captain' who had been around for half a day just now turned out to be a fake, and that inconspicuous young man was the real captain.

And the female reporter who was hugged by Yang Meng in her arms just now looked at Yang Meng's eyes full of murderous energy. Yang Meng looked indifferent, waved his hand at her with a smile, and drove away.

Xiao Peng and Yang Meng took turns to steer the boat, and finally arrived five nautical miles outside Port Said at the specified time.

"Call the canal authorities with VHF CH16 (channel 16) to go through the formalities. Xiao Peng commanded Yang Mengdao.

If you want to pass through the Suez Canal, you must provide the ship name, flag, ship type, gross tonnage, deadweight tonnage, draft and width to the canal authorities 48 hours before arriving at the port, otherwise you will not be able to pass through the Suez Canal. After submitting these formalities and waiting for confirmation by the canal authorities, the Vladimir finally arrived at the waiting anchorage in Port Said.

Xiao Peng didn't dare to say that he had a 'Ka-52' on board, and his customs cargo was sardines.

This can only be blamed on the Mediterranean, the fish resources are too rich, there are only small-scale fish schools, Xiao Peng searched for a long time, but found a sardine school is still large-scale.

Xiao Peng covered the container containing the card 52 with sardines, and sailed in this way.

Of course, a fishing boat specializes in transporting sardines, which does raise suspicions. However, Xiao Peng's euro red envelope was not paid in vain, and the Vladimir successfully passed the security check. Access to the out-of-port anchorage is permitted.

There are two anchorages outside Port Said, the North Anchorage area and the South Anchorage area, which in turn consists of Zones 1 and 2. Zone 1 is dedicated to berthing vessels with a draft of more than 12.8 metres. Xiao Peng drove the boat into the second area, joined the formation, and waited to pass through the Suez Canal together.

After the pilots hired by Xiao Peng came aboard, the improvised formation began to move south, passing through the Suez Canal.

Due to the long voyage of the Suez Canal, pilots are piloted in sections, and four pilots are generally required to complete the leading task of the whole voyage. And the trouble is that this canal cannot be passed at one time: first of all, it is necessary to anchor at the Great Bitter Lake, wait for all the members of the northbound formation to pass before continuing to go south, and change the pilot in the middle.

Moreover, when the anchor was dropped at Dakuhu Lake, the pilot asked Xiao Peng and others to be vigilant, because due to the situation in Egypt, the safety of the Suez Canal has long attracted social attention.

Here, due to the docking of ships, it is the time when ships are most vulnerable to attack.

There have been cases of Chinese cargo ships being attacked here before.

The pilot also advised Xiao Peng to buy 'pirate insurance'. Well, he also works part-time as an insurance officer.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Peng is not afraid of pirates. The weapons brought from Ukraine are not decorations. But Xiao Peng didn't want to attract attention, after all, it can be regarded as smuggling now, and it's not good to be too eye-catching. So Xiao Peng also bought a pirate insurance.

Even if Xiao Peng was rich and wealthy when he paid the money, he felt pain now, and the pirate risk of a small fishing boat was as high as 100,000 meters of gold.

This is not bad, those 10,000-ton ships of piracy insurance can even be as high as millions or even millions!

Because of this, so many freighters have to pass through the Gulf of Aden and the Suez Canal, but very few ships have pirate insurance.

It's too expensive.
