Chapter 4 Murder on the High Seas
Me and Beard had a greasy mouth, and when he said that, we both became sensitive on the spot. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wen Jingnan saw that the two of us took a particularly resistant posture, he shrugged helplessly, and explained, "The biggest danger of going out to sea is not from the external environment, but from one's own health problems. During this period, we tend to eat very cold food, and we are not even very cooked, so we must have good teeth, or even an iron stomach. ”
I realized that it was me and Beard who misunderstood him. By the way, I also think of slave society, where slave owners often look at their teeth first when they buy slaves.
Wen Jingnan leaned over to the two of us again, and gestured, signaling that we can open our mouths now.
I was thinking about the bad food in my heart, and I was thinking about how to get around this, and I stared at the table next to me first, and I had an idea.
In addition to the recruitment sheet, there is also a pocket watch and two walnuts. The beard snorted, stretched out his big hand, and directly picked up the two walnuts.
In front of Wen Jingnan, he put two walnuts in his mouth one after another, and chewed them on Gaba and Gaba.
I convinced this dude, and my heart said that his teeth are really hard enough. After he ate this, he spit out all the chewed walnut skins one after another and placed them side by side on the table.
He also said to Wen Jingnan when he had time, "Brother, with my teeth and appetite, do you still need to check it?" ”
Wen Jingnan's expression was a little unnatural, especially the residue on the walnut skin, which was particularly disgusting at first glance. He shook his head slightly, skirted his beard, and looked at me deliberately.
At this moment, I especially want to ask Brother Huzi, my heart said that his trick is good, but the question is to leave me a walnut too? Now all I have left is the rest of the walnut skin, and I can't just put this disgusting thing in my mouth and chew it again.
I was worried in my heart, I didn't know how I could escape, but at this time I also caught a micro-expression of Wen Jingnan. He glanced at the pocket watch.
In this society now, almost no one carries pocket watches, and even this thing has long been eliminated. The reason why Wen Jingnan still loves this is that it is likely that the pocket watch on the table is an antique and has a special meaning to him.
I smiled in my heart, and I counted it. I suddenly reached out and snatched my pocket watch. I touched the surface of it and it felt like silver.
I squinted my eyes, deliberately took out a ruthless look, and chanted, "Lao Tzu has a quirk, usually likes to chew steel spoons or something, the right to grind his teeth, today to offer ugliness, just gnaw on this pocket watch." ”
I'm going to put this pocket watch in my mouth. Wen Jingnan was completely anxious, shouted, snatched the pocket watch back, and took out a very reluctant look, and checked it in front of me.
I don't care if he feels distressed or not, anyway, he won't check my teeth anymore.
Later, Beard and I did a lot of push-ups in front of him to show that we were both strong, and he asked us about our experiences on Bangchuidao.
The beard was a bit disjointed, but fortunately, I rushed to answer it, and I didn't think I missed any flaws.
The two of us have passed the test this time. Wen Jingnan asked the two of us to add a table, and also introduced their situation to us during this period.
The ship we are on, the Moby Dick, will set sail in a day's time, and we will come over at six o'clock in the morning on that day to report. And the ship is for food and accommodation, there is no need for the two of us to bring anything, the monthly salary is 10,000 yuan, and the settlement will be unified after returning from the sea.
I'm just listening to it, and the beard is really tempting.
After the two of us got off the boat, he couldn't help but mutter, saying that this was really a good errand, there was money to earn, and there were girls to do, and he would not be an informant in the future, so he would come here to work.
I told him not to think so far, and not to forget about business. The beard replied distractedly.
Two days later, at six o'clock in the morning, not long after dawn, Beard and I arrived on the deck of the Moby Dick on time, and I found that in addition to the two of us, there were more than a dozen newcomers.
We stood and talked to the Moby Dick's original ten sailors, and it wasn't long before the captain showed up.
He is forty or fifty years old, has a particularly bulging belly, looks cute and stupid, and he is also followed by the first and second mates. Only then did I find out that the quiet man who was embarrassed by the girl turned out to be the second mate. I suspect that he is so virtuous, he was disembarked from the ship when a strong wind and waves came, and how could he be a sailor, especially a second mate.
Of course, I didn't say much. Captain Fat held a meeting with us, both old and new, to introduce the rules and regulations on the Moby Dick. Nothing to note, I listened and looked around to get used to the environment as soon as I could.
After that, we started work, but we didn't have any heavy work, just washing the deck, maintaining the equipment, maybe going to the boiler room to burn coal or something.
I also found out that the female sailors on this ship rarely showed up, and several of them worked in the canteen, and we could only meet them when we were eating.
They are more open and exposed than I thought, just talk about beards, especially like a female worker, and every time they look at it, the blood of the beast boils. Not only him, but also a new man with a scar on his face, we all call him Scarface, and he also loves this girl, and occasionally whistles at her and tries to tease.
Beard once couldn't help but say to me, pointing to the female sailor's breast, and said, "It's definitely a fucking pleasure to do that with her." ”
I understand why Beard said that, because this woman has very big breasts. But I don't feel as much as he does.
Beard saw that I took out this attitude of not liking stubble, and complained, "Why aren't you interested in women?" I guess you can't do that thing, and you can't understand the conversation between men. Then he went back with Scarface.
I stared at his back, and I wanted to call him back, and I said that Lao Tzu can't do this thing? If you are not satisfied, you will take it out and compare it to see who is the benchmark.
In this flash, it was another night. We all gathered in the cafeteria to play cards. We're not just having fun, gambling for money. In addition, if you are hungry, go to the back kitchen and find some fruit or something to eat.
I really don't understand, when recruiting, the second officer said that this ship often eats cold food, even uncooked food, but this has been a few days, and I haven't encountered this situation. I wonder if the second mate is fooling people? And through these two days of secret observation, I have not found any illegal employment of labor. I wonder if the information given by the police has gone wrong?
Just as we were in the mood for a good game, the cafeteria door was kicked open. It was so loud that we all turned our heads to look.
It was the fat captain, and he was followed by the first mate, the second mate, and some old sailors. These people all had cold faces, not the same as before.
We were all puzzled, but we ignored them and turned back to the game.
The fat captain stared at us men, not saying a word, but laughed cruelly, and went inside first, and took out an old-fashioned revolver from his waist.
He raised his gun and pulled the trigger. In places like the cafeteria, the gunshots are particularly harsh, and even faintly echoed. We listened to it with a thrill.
No one was playing cards now, and they all looked at the fat captain with a horrified face.
The second mate has always given people a very quiet feeling. At this moment, he also launched a murderous attack, and this ferocity is closer to a madman, and it is easy for people to be frightened from the bottom of their hearts.
He took a few steps forward and said in place of the captain, "You have been living like a fairy for the past two days, but are we really here in a welfare home?" ”
I had a bad thought, and even instinctively, I stepped back and shrank into the crowd, so that if the other person fired, I wouldn't be the first to get shot.
The beard learned from me, and also retreated. But Scarface was different, he launched a murderous attack, and without saying a word, he walked out of the crowd, pointed to the group of people opposite and asked, "What's wrong?" Are you a gang of robbers? Want to hit the attention of those of us? ”
Then he pointed to his feet and emphasized, "Do you think this is the Caribbean?" you, this place is protected by the law, you dare to mess around, be careful of being caught and sentenced! ”
His words also aroused the anger of the other two newcomers, who echoed and said to our group, "There are so many of us, what are you afraid of them for?" ”
The fat captain kept staring at Scarface, sneering at his words. At this time, the fat captain shook his head slightly, and deliberately muttered, "I'm so scared of what you said, so I'm going to go to jail?" ”
His sailors laughed mockingly. The fat captain had a tense face, and said that such an undisciplined beast could not be a fisherman.
He raised his gun and slammed it twice into Scarface's legs.
Stimulated by the sound of gunfire, I said to myself that these people really dare to move their lives. In addition, I also saw that these two shots were very accurate, causing two blood lines to emerge on Scarface's two legs.
Scarface wailed, unable to stand on his feet, and immediately fell to the ground.
The fat captain pointed to the two newcomers who had just echoed and said, "These two brutes don't know the rules either, so punish them for 'washing clothes.'" ”
Four sailors immediately pounced. The two newcomers tore and tore and tried to resist. The rest of us didn't help them, because the fat captain's gun was kept being held and aimed at us. We are all well aware of the consequences of the turmoil.
These four sailors are not good at stubble, and when they find the right opportunity, they have punched the two newcomers in the temple. This is the most critical part of the human body, and the two newcomers all rolled their eyes and took out a posture of twitching.
The four sailors worked together and dragged them out.
I don't know what kind of punishment they're going to be going to take next, and I wouldn't be foolish enough to think they're going to do the laundry.
Scarface took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, although his face was pale, he still stubbornly scolded the fat captain and said cruel words.
The fat captain shrugged, and the anger on his face intensified. He didn't say anything to Scarface, waved his hand, and asked the sailor behind him to bring his "baby" over. I don't know what the baby is referring to, but the words come out of his mouth, and he looks very panicked.
Not long after, several sailors worked together to push in a wooden box with a length and width of two meters.
The fat captain screamed a few times, and seemed to be excited, but it also made people feel that he was very perverted.
He asked the sailors to help remove all the planks around the crate. The box originally contained a large glass jar, but now it was all revealed.
I saw three strange fish swimming inside, this fish is estimated to be nearly a meter long, and they look like snakes. At this time, someone next to me shouted in fright, "Moray eel! ”
The fat captain asks the sailor to throw Scarface into the fish tank. Scarface's face was white and frightening, and even his tone softened, begging for mercy from the fat captain.
The fat captain didn't pay any attention to it, and pointed to Scarface, and shouted to us, "You guys, you are destined to be fishing slaves in this life, don't try to resist, otherwise this will be your fate." ”
He gave another order, and several sailors sprang into action.
With a pop, Scarface entered the water, and at that moment, the fish tank also boiled, and I soon saw a scene that I will never forget.
