Chapter 7 Hai Mengzi
There were seven or eight people standing on the beach, and the laughter was made by the man at the head. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He was a strong man, but he was extremely scary and disgusting, and it was not an exaggeration to describe him. It struck me that he looked a lot like a hairless orangutan, and that he was blind in his left eye, a one-eyed dragon, and that he had a glass eye in his left socket, and when he looked at us, the fake eye stared blankly ahead.
The fat captain was polite to the one-eyed dragon, and while smiling, he took out a nodding posture. From this, I concluded that the cyclops was the head of the island.
The one-eyed dragon also shouted at the top of his voice, saying that his friends from afar had worked hard. But this is really a scene of hypocrisy and hypocrisy, and then he didn't treat us newcomers as partners at all. We were taken to three rubber boats by the fat captain like prisoners, and landed ashore like this.
The one-eyed dragon took great interest in us, and when he came over, he looked at us one by one, pinched the mouths of several newcomers, and looked at their teeth.
One of the newcomers gritted his teeth and almost bit the one-eyed dragon's fingers, which immediately caused the one-eyed dragon to be dissatisfied, and he punched and kicked the newcomer.
Others dare not speak out. The fat captain hurriedly explained to the one-eyed dragon, saying that he was to blame and didn't teach the newcomer well.
The one-eyed dragon rubbed his hands, shook his head as if he didn't care, and shouted to us again. He told us that on this island, productivity always comes first, and everything else is on the sidelines. It's just morning, it's the golden time for work, we just start work, we don't have to worry about accommodation, and in the evening, he will let us live in a comfortable iron cage.
It sounds so fucking awkward to say this in my heart, and he's so picky, he doesn't even offer breakfast, and this starts to squeeze us?
The one-eyed dragon's men were about to take us away, and the beard suddenly became anxious, and he looked around. I know who he's looking for, but the bald head has long been hiding.
Beard beckoned to the fat captain again, leaned over, and whispered to him in a low voice.
The fat captain listened at first, but gradually frowned, and finally his face sank, and he wanted to slap a thunderbolt at his beard. The beard reacted quickly, and dodged with one side of his head.
The fat captain scolded and said, "You think well, and you still work as a cleaner?" Tell you, you were born with a rotten life, hurry up and do heavy work for Lao Tzu. ”
The fat captain's words also caused ridicule from many of the Moby Dick sailors, including the second mate, who shook his head while laughing, and must have felt that his beard was unreasonable.
I guess the second mate pretended to be confused, especially if he was so cunning, he must have understood the bald Xiao Jiujiu a long time ago, but it was impossible for him not to help the bald head, and even afterwards it was very likely to find the bald head and get some money out of the other party's hands.
I secretly winked at the beard, which meant that it should be put aside beforehand. The bearded face sank terribly, and his mouth muttered.
We, the new fishermen, followed the one-eyed dragon for a while, and the other one-eyed dragon's men, including the second mate and a few sailors, followed us and stared at us with great interest.
Suddenly, the one-eyed dragon turned his head and shouted to the second mate as if he remembered something, saying that two sea warriors died a few days ago, who is good at water in this batch of newcomers?
The second mate was so impressed with me and Beard that he immediately pointed at us and boasted, emphasizing that we had worked on the Bangchuidao before and were excellent seamen.
The one-eyed dragon looked at us greedily as if it had picked up a treasure, and said yes again and again. Then he called two of his subordinates named Ah Hu and Ah Li, and asked them to take me and Hu Zi to another place to join Hai Mengzi's team.
Just hearing the name, I don't think it's a good thing to be a sea warrior. But now it's useless for the two of us to resist, especially this Ah Hu and Ah Li, who know a little bit at first glance, and each of them still holds a sharp steel hook in their hands.
They took me and Beard and left the group at once, and walked towards a wood.
Ali was in front, Ah Hu was behind, and Ali told us to hurry up, saying that we had to go through the entire forest to get to the shoal where Hai Mengzi worked.
Beard and I have too many questions in our hearts. As I got deeper into the woods, I noticed that every now and then I saw a wooden sign erected on the ground.
I don't understand what this is, and my heart says are these guys superstitious, what kind of feng shui array are they putting up? I secretly asked the beard, "Do you see any doorway?" ”。
Without waiting for Beard to answer, Ah Hu behind me interjected and shouted to stop. And he's pretty weird, he's been secretly looking at us ever since he came into contact with us.
Let's stop together. He found a nearby wooden sign, pulled it up with one hand, and used a steel hook to dig up the ground under the sign.
He had a lot of strength, and after a few slashes, he hooked something and pulled it violently.
The entire surface cracked, and a corpse was brought out.
My first reaction when I saw the corpse was to vomit because it was thin and black, almost like a skeleton covered in skin and bones. The beard was also frightened and scolded the mother.
Ah Hu continued to hook the corpse, and brought it forward, and then sneered and said to the two of us, "You know? Under each wooden sign, there are dead fishermen, who are in poor health, so they can't bear to be eliminated. ”
Ali also answered and scolded, "It's all fucking waste." ”
I squeezed and laughed, which was a response to the two of them, but I understood in my heart, and my heart said that they were so thin before they died, does this have anything to do with their bodies? Bao is hungry, and it takes so long to cause malnutrition.
I also felt that the corpse was good evidence of the crime, so I snuck into my chest and took a picture. When I wanted to secretly take a picture of Ah Hu and Ah Li, I found that Ah Li didn't notice anything, but Ah Hu looked at me coldly, especially staring at the button on my chest, with a hint of murder in his eyes.
I quickly stopped, my heart was pounding, I didn't know if this kid had found something. Ali didn't want to stay in the woods any longer, and beckoned us to hurry up and get on our way. Ah Hu didn't say anything, but he still looked at me. I deliberately avoided Ah Hu's gaze.
I have a feeling that when I took over the murder case before, I knew that there was a person named Huzi, don't look at Huzi also with tigers, and Ah Hu with tigers, but this Ah Hu is by no means an idle person.
He followed us unhurriedly, and once he came close and looked at us strangely.
I felt a lot of stress, and my head was hot, but then nothing went wrong.
After walking through the woods, our vision brightened up a lot, and a large pond appeared in front of us.
The pond was artificially created to bring in seawater. There are four small boats working on the pond and a small boat parked on the shore.
Ah Hu and Ah Li didn't rush anything, which gave me time to observe what the ships were doing.
There were two people on each boat, and one of them put on a simple diving suit and jumped down to carry out the underwater salvage operation, and the other guy on the boat was in charge of the hands, and I guess these people were the so-called sea warriors.
After a cigarette in this way, Ah Hu touched his pocket, took out a whistle, and blew it vigorously. One of the boats had just finished salvaging and immediately rushed to the shore.
Let's just say that the sea warriors on this small boat are all very pale, I guess it has something to do with diving, and to put it mildly, they don't look much different from dead people who have just been dug up from the grave.
Ah Hu pointed at me and Huzi, and said to these two sea warriors, "This is a new arrival, you two bring a new person." ”
The two sea warriors nodded, and the four of us divided into two groups, the bearded group went to the other boat, and our group drove this boat and immediately entered the pond again.
I took the time to chat with this "partner" and asked him what his name was.
I'd like to gather some more incriminating evidence through him. This Hai Mengzi is a little unfavorable when he speaks, probably because he hasn't said it for a long time.
He told me that his number was 619 and that he was the 619th fisherman on the island.
I looked to the shore, Ah Hu and Ah Li didn't leave, but they found a place to sit down, they were smoking cigarettes, and they didn't look at us.
I leaned forward again and asked the sea warrior, "I didn't ask you about your number, what is your name?" ”
This sea warrior took out a memory, thought for a while, and said that he was called 619.
I chuckled inwardly, wondering if something was wrong with his brain. I asked, "How many fishermen are there living on this island?" ”
619 scratched his head vigorously, and saw that he was counting in his heart, and after a long while, he replied, "Fifty or sixty, and there are dead people every few days, so I can't remember the specifics." ”
In other words, this time I took over a big case, not to mention that more than 500 fishermen have died here.
619 also thinks I'm asking too much, urging me to work quickly, otherwise we won't be able to catch enough sea cucumbers, and we won't be able to rest and relieve our strength.
He opened the lid of a barrel in the corner and told me to look inside.
There are already a lot of live sea cucumbers in it, but there is also a white line drawn on the barrel wall, and these sea cucumbers are still a certain distance from the white line.
Only then did I understand what they were fishing, and that sea cucumbers, once shipped back to the mainland, would cost a lot of money.
619 drove the boat, took out the observation position, and when he found a water area and parked it, he said to me, "He will go to the sea first, let me watch him work, and then change me." ”
I stared down at the water, to say less ten meters deep. I beat the drum in my heart, because it's not like going down a mountain or something, you can go as much as you want.
Dive ten meters underwater, the water pressure is easy to make people unbearable, and even die violently.
619 ignored me, and after he put on his diving suit, he sat on the side of the boat and breathed rhythmically, which looked like the old Taoist priest was breathing. He also had a lump of lead tied to his foot, which was placed on the plank.
I tried to lift it, and I had to weigh thirty or forty pounds.
When he felt that his body was in good shape, he picked up the lead lump with great effort, and jumped into the water.
Dragged by the lead bump, he quickly sank to the bottom of the water, and I was able to communicate with him through his oxygen tube, which was a simple "telephone". At least I shout or he shouts, and we can hear each other.
I leaned on the side of the boat and watched. As he sank to the bottom, I heard a few uncomfortable grunts and uh-uh from the oxygen tube.
Then 619 worked, I couldn't see his specific actions clearly, but he told me that this time the place was well chosen, and many fat sea cucumbers were lazily lying on the seaweed.
I'm not as excited as 619, and I'm even frowning, at this time, my mind is full of one question, it's my turn to go to the sea in a while, what can I do?
