Chapter 9: The Cage of Death
A group of us came to a flat piece of land in the middle of the island. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info This was originally a forest, but it was later artificially mined. And the place was not bare, for on its edge, next to the woods, there were several large wooden houses, and four guard towers with guards with guns. And in the center, there are iron cages one after another, which are in groups of two, next to each other.
I roughly estimated that there were forty or fifty iron cages.
There is a hole dug out of the iron cage, which is supposed to be a toilet, and there is also a large hay mat, which is considered a bed for sleeping.
We, the sea warriors, were the first to come back, and the other fishermen were still working, and these iron cages were now empty.
The short guard, who brought us back, blew the whistle. After three whistles, the door of a wooden house was slammed open.
The one-eyed dragon stood inside the door, dressed as he walked out.
I saw that his pants were bulging, and I guess he was just doing that. And soon after he came out, two more men followed, and they also dressed as they went.
I don't think it's these old men who are doing it, but there must be several women in the cabin, and they are just having a lot of fun.
The one-eyed dragon walked in front of us before stopping, rubbing his crotch and asking, "How's your harvest today?"
Several of the sea warriors placed the barrels side by side in front of the one-eyed dragon, and opened the lids.
The short guard shone the barrel with a flashlight, and the one-eyed dragon looked at them one by one, and his face became more and more ugly, and finally he took out a fiery posture and roared and asked us, "you, why are there so few today?"
There was a sea warrior who answered a few words first and told him about the rain. The one-eyed dragon gave him a big mouth. The sea fierce man retreated again and again, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.
The one-eyed dragon waved his hand again and again and said, "I don't care about these objective reasons, Lao Tzu wants to make money, otherwise what are you left for?
He called for a pen from his men. He drew a new white line above the white line of each barrel, and pointed to emphasise, "Look, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, your tasks have changed, and you are all smart, if you don't meet the standards, don't come back, do you understand?"
We all responded with a sullen voice. After this day's fishing, I knew how difficult this new task was, and I was also worried in my heart, and the expressions of those sea warriors were not good-looking, and their faces were sinking as if they were about to drip into the water.
The one-eyed dragon reprimanded us a few more times, turned around, and returned to the hut with his men. He also rubbed his crotch again from time to time, presumably continuing the work he hadn't done before.
The short guard gave each of us ten dollars per head, which was considered today's wages, and then he drove the other sea warriors into the iron cages to rest like a duck. I just came here with Beard, and I didn't know which cage to sleep on, so I didn't rush to move.
The short guard ended up arranging a place for us to stay. I see that the hay in this iron cage is quite messy, and there is in the pit, so it is obvious that this iron cage is inhabited.
I asked, "Will we take someone else's place?" The short guard sneered a few times and said to me, "Poor worm, rest assured, the original owner of this iron cage is not very honest, and he was killed yesterday." If someone comes back in the middle of the night, it must be...... Hell!" Speaking of which, he made a grimace to scare me.
Now it's getting dark, and I'm panicked by him like this. In addition, I had a very bad impression of him, so I didn't talk nonsense with him anymore, and I got into it with my beard one after another.
The short guard locked the cage door and scurried away.
This gave me and Beard a private space, and we reminisced about today's experience and discussed what to do next.
Beard has a worry, saying that the location of this island is too remote, and the tracker on our ankles must have lost its effect, and the police can't find us at all, so why come and arrest these bandits?
I actually had a headache, and after thinking about it deeply, I sighed and said to the beard, "If you can't do it, you have to think of a way, and it's best to have the opportunity to contact the police." ”
The beard was pondered, but he was not the material, and finally grabbed his hair in a hurry.
I understood that this matter could not be rushed, so I said to the beard, "Let's familiarize ourselves with the terrain first, and at least get a thorough understanding of all parts of the island." ”
The beard said okay. We exchanged views on the topography, but how long have we been here?
Half an hour later, there was movement in a wooden house, and someone came out.
We were so far away from the hut that I couldn't see who he was for a while, but it was clear that he was coming straight for us.
I always don't think it's a good thing, and I don't talk to the beard anymore. When this man got closer, I recognized him as Ah Hu.
I have a headache because this is a difficult master. This time, he even held a cigarette and circled around the iron cage of the two of us without saying a word.
My heart straightened my hair, and I thought to myself, what did he think? Our eyes never took off his follow, and circled around twice.
Finally, Hu Zi asked Ah Hu, "Hey, is it interesting that you look at us like animals?"
I said in my heart that it should be bad, the beard is too stinky, don't cause unnecessary trouble. But Ah Hu surprisingly just snorted, then leaned on the iron cage and sat down. He turned his back to us and smoked cigarette after cigarette.
The wind is blowing the smoke into the cage completely. My beard and I were so smoked that we covered our noses. The beard even said, "Don't smoke it!"
I tugged at my beard in anger. Ah Hu also turned his head silently, and after the two of us looked at him, Ah Hu sneered, shook his head and said to the beard, "Cowardice, your temper is not good, forget it with me, but if you say the same thing to others, you will suffer a big loss." ”
The beard looked disapproving, and grinned. Ah Hu glanced at me again, and although he didn't say anything, he showed a praising expression and handed over the remaining half of the cigarette he had smoked.
At first glance, it seemed like an insult to me, but I had a gut feeling that he was taking care of me and refreshing me, especially on an island where cigarettes are still a luxury.
I was still a little resistant, and Ah Hu deliberately hummed again to express urging. I took it and took two puffs.
Ah Hu smiled kindly.
When I finished smoking, I deliberately skimmed the cigarette butt outside, which meant not to let the guards know that I had smoked too. In addition, I saw that Ah Hu hadn't left yet, so I asked tentatively, "Boss, do you have anything else?"
Ah Hu touched his pocket and took out two eggs. At first glance, it looks like an egg, but it's a lot smaller than the egg, and I guess it's probably some seabird egg. Ah Hu said, "When you come here, you eat that little bit every day, and your nutrition will definitely not keep up, how about it?
Beard and I were indeed hungry, but I wouldn't be stupid enough to think it was free, so I asked, "What conditions?"
Ah Hu sneered and gestured, "Ten yuan for an egg, do you want to buy it?"
I thought to myself, so I was tired of waiting here. The beard even fried the pot after hearing this, shouting, "Are you mistaken? Supermarket eggs are only three or four yuan a catty, what kind of eggs do you have?
Ah Hu looked up at the night sky, especially at the moon, and muttered, "If we are on the moon now, I can't sell an egg for 10,000 yuan, right?"
Beard and I looked at each other, and we had the ten dollars we had just paid in our pockets.
And to be honest, the ten dollars didn't do much to me and my beard, and the day also made me know how useful food was to the fisherman.
I set an example and handed over the money with the beard. Ah Hu also happily sent the eggs over.
The two of us quickly peeled and ate it. The beard is still in a hurry, and he choked and rolled his eyes.
In this way, I think Ah Hu is not so fierce, and he seems to be quite easy to talk. I also relaxed the scale and asked him, "How did the women on this island come from?"
Ah Hu didn't hide it, and replied, "Of course they were kidnapped, and those girls don't have much strength, so they can't do heavy work, so they can only be used for everyone's entertainment." He pointed to a few wooden houses, paused and said, "These ladies are treated better than you, and they can live in the house." ”
Unconvinced, the beard interjected, "Why?"
Ah Hu sneered again and again, stared at the crotch of the beard and asked, "Do you have a girl's 'shame'?"
The beard was speechless when he was refuted. At this moment, what I thought was, the fate of this group of women is also quite sad? After being silent for a while, Hu Zi became interested and asked Ah Hu, "I want to engage a woman, how much does it cost?"
Not only Ah Hu, but even I looked at the beard in surprise. I said in my heart that this color ratio, when is it, why are you still thinking about that little.
Beard ignored my gaze and looked pleading. Ah Hu took out a mocking expression and told Hu Zi, "With your identity, don't think about it in this life, and these women are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the beautiful ones only serve the leader and a few important followers, and the rest of those deflated or ugly goods are shared by us people." ”
At this time, there was movement on the other side of the wooden house, and a guard opened the door and called Ah Hu.
Ah Hu answered, and the guard said, "Where did you go with your grandmother? Come back quickly, let's fight together, and compare who will take longer?"
Ah Hu scolded with a smile, "My subordinates are defeated." "That way, he won't stay here any longer.
When he left, he also left a message, saying that he would come over to sell bird eggs in the evening, and asked me and Beard not to spend ten dollars in a mess.
The beard and I silently watched his distant back. I always felt that something was wrong, and I couldn't say anything for a while. Hu Zi muttered, isn't scolding this Ah Hu just an egg seller?
I was reminded by him, and suddenly understood. I said in my heart, did this Ah Hu come to sell our eggs in order to earn ten yuan?
I couldn't understand what he was trying to do with the two of us, and I even sensitively picked up the eggshell again, and then watched the night.
The beard asked me what I was doing? Did I not have enough to eat and wanted to swallow the eggshells?
I told him to stop. After another hour or so, a large group of people came out of the woods, and this was the remaining group of fishermen, who were "off work".
The entire iron cage area was also "lively", and it was particularly noisy for a while.
The group of fishermen received their wages in turn, and each returned to the iron cage. There was only one fisherman living in the cage next door to us, and I guess there were originally two of them, but one of them died.
The surviving fisherman didn't expect a new neighbor, so when he got into the cage and turned his head to see the two of us, he was stunned at first, and then grossly muttered, "Damn!"
(I heard that Lion Rock is coming, and after waiting for a morning, I want to say, this sun is also poisonous, and it will be bubbling in the sun when you go out for a walk)
