Chapter 609: One Ear
The wind blows, the leaves move. The wind on the beach was not small, and the leaves rustled, but the waves were not big. The largest wave hit me, only a few meters up the beach, and then disappeared without a trace.
Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong have been waiting on the beach for two hours with Golden Tooth, but the boat that was promised has not yet come. After spending N days in that basement, the Golden Tooth finally reappeared and brought them good news - there was a boat tomorrow night, and the two of them were arranged.
Chinese have always paid attention to the difficulty of leaving their homeland, or returning to their roots, under normal circumstances, people like Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong who fled out, and then want to come back The possibility is basically equal to zero, and they should feel sad when they hear this news. But these two people have no awareness of this.
Cheng Zhichao knows that as long as he doesn't die, he will definitely come back one day, and when he comes back, he will be warmly welcomed. And Meng Qinglong, the reason why he is not melancholy is because he can leave this damn basement soon.
Although he has no freedom in the detention center, he has lived a fairly good life because of the money in his account. But after coming here, not only did the place where I live not as good as the detention center, but even the food was not as good as there. If it weren't for the fact that he could save his life here, if he was given another choice, he would have returned to the detention center without hesitation, and he wouldn't want to stay here even for a day.
Now that he was finally about to leave here, he was only happy in his heart, and there was no feeling that he was about to leave his homeland.
The night was getting deeper, and the ship had not yet arrived, but according to Golden Fang, the ship was not far from here, and it would be half an hour at most to arrive. Meng Qinglong's face was flushed with excitement, and he couldn't stop rubbing his hands. Look at your watch almost every two or three minutes. The person has not left yet, and in his heart he has already begun to think about how to introduce Cheng Zhichao to Wang Ruiguo, and then the brothers have broken out of the world in a foreign country.
Cheng Zhichao saw all the expressions of this second goods in his eyes, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, staring at the north, as if he was still a little reluctant. It seems to have a little nostalgia.
"I don't know when I will be able to come back again, Xiaochen and Liu Xin don't know how anxious they should be if they get the news that their whereabouts are unknown. Alas, I was still in too much of a hurry, and I didn't have time to write a few more letters to Ji Yong, and asked him to send one or two letters regularly to give relief to the two girls. ”
The matter of writing a fake letter is not only something that Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin can think of. Young Master Cheng, whose IQ is not weaker than theirs at all, can naturally think of it. It's just that Liu Xin's fake letter was really written, and Cheng Zhichao's idea of writing a fake letter just stayed in his mind.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly the golden tooth whispered, "It's coming." He came out of his hiding place.
Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong's hearts trembled at the same time, and they looked at the sea, only to see that on the dark sea, a light slightly brighter than the starlight suddenly lit up, and the light flickered and flickered. It's like they're signaling this way according to some convention. But because it was too dark, only the lights could be seen. But they couldn't see the boat.
Jin Ya took out a flashlight from his pocket, and flickered it a few times, and then Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong found that the light was gradually approaching. The two men thought that the boat would sail to the beachhead to pick up the two of them, but unexpectedly, the light stopped less than fifty meters from the shore. Golden Fang winked at the two of them, "Let's go." ”
"Just going?" Meng Qinglong was taken aback.
"Of course it's going up, isn't it going up like this? Still waiting for someone to come and pick you up? ”
"Can't you let them get the boat closer?"
"Can't get any closer, it's close enough, swim over."
Meng Qinglong looked embarrassed: "But I can't swim." ”
The golden tooth showed a look of contempt, and felt that Meng Qinglong, as a southerner, couldn't swim. It's the biggest farcical thing in the world. However, this can't be blamed on Meng Qinglong, the south does have a developed water system, but not every southerner can swim, and it is normal for Meng Qinglong to not be able to swim.
He glanced at Cheng Zhichao: "Will you?" ”
"Yes." Cheng Zhichao can swim, of course, when he was in his hometown, he already knew how to "dog planing", after entering the special brigade, swimming is a basic combat skill that must be mastered, after a long time of hard training, Cheng Zhichao has already been reborn, "dog planing" is already the end.
"Okay, you take him, and we'll swim over together." After the golden tooth finished speaking, he looked around vigilantly, beckoned to Cheng Zhichao, chose a beach, and slowly went into the water.
Actually, it's about the same as the other beaches, the water isn't too deep, but it's winter and the water temperature is low. After Cheng Zhichao got into the water, he couldn't help but fight a cold war, while Meng Qinglong hesitated on the shore and didn't dare to enter the water.
"Big brother, the water is not deep, it's okay."
Meng Qinglong said with a bitter face: "Brother, it's not a matter of deep water and shallow water, when I was eight years old, I once let the water flood once, and when I saw the water in the future, I hid far away." ”
"If you don't get into the water, how are we going to get on the boat?" was about to get on the boat, but this guy didn't dare to go into the water because he was flooded when he was a child, Cheng Zhichao couldn't help but be angry and funny.
Meng Qinglong obviously knew that this problem was very strict, and after walking to the water's edge, he just stretched out one foot and retracted it again. Cheng Zhichao couldn't help it, ran ashore in three steps and two steps, grabbed his neck and collar, and struggled with his arm, Meng Qinglong only felt that his feet were empty, and he exclaimed, and was dragged into the water by Cheng Zhichao.
The water was really not deep, but Meng Qinglong was still so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and he opened his voice and just wanted to roar twice, but he was suppressed by a look from Jinya: "You are crazy, are you too quiet to attract the police?" ”
Meng Qinglong immediately closed his mouth tightly, grabbed Cheng Zhichao's arm with both hands, and staggered forward like a drunk drunk.
When they walked to the side of the boat, the water was only up to the waist, and the boat was the kind of iron-hulled boat with an ordinary appearance, and there were some things piled up on it, and the black lights were blinding, and Cheng Zhichao couldn't see what it was. The people above had already crouched on the side of the ship and waited for them. After seeing them approaching, he hurriedly stretched out his hand.
As soon as the hands of the two sides were touched, Cheng Zhichao couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at the north twice.
"Finally leaving." For some reason, there was no melancholy, but as soon as I got along with the ship's responders. A sense of melancholy welled up immediately.
Jin Ya had already boarded the boat first, and he didn't even look at Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong, but directly said hello to a middle-aged man on the boat who was not tall and as black as a piece of charcoal. The place where that person was standing was backlit, if it weren't for Cheng Zhichao seeing it really well underneath, and the golden tooth said hello to him after he came up, he really wouldn't have paid attention to such a person.
On a cold day, this person didn't have too many clothes on his body, but his chest muscles bulged high. Two eyes glittered in the darkness, but there was only one ear.
The "one ear" nodded to the golden tooth, and after watching the people next to him pull Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong onto the boat, he asked casually: "Just these two?" ”
"Yes, it's these two, after you send him to the place, come back to Brother Chao to finish the count."
Only then did Cheng Zhichao know that it was not the "Brother Chao" who sent them out of the country this time. It's someone else he's looking for.
"We're only responsible for getting them ashore, after they come ashore. Life and death have their own destiny. One ear said coldly.
"It's natural." After the golden tooth finished speaking, he walked up to Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong, and said in a low voice: "After you pass, Brother Guo's people will meet you on the shore, don't worry, there will definitely be no problems." ”
Meng Qinglong wondered: "Why didn't Brother Chao arrange someone to send us away?" ”
"Brother Chao has other important matters to deal with. The two of you are in a hurry, and you have no choice but to ask others for help. Golden Tooth smiled, "Brother, after you go out." In case it happens, don't forget my brother. ”
"Don't worry." Cheng Zhichao said with a grateful face: "My brother placed us in such a safe basement, great kindness, brother is unforgettable." ”
Gold's face changed, and he immediately laughed, nodded his head to one ear, "plop", jumped into the sea again, and swam towards the shore.
After he left, he invited Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong, who were drenched in water, to the cabin, found two sets of clothes and threw them to them. I couldn't tell what kind of fabric it was, but it was very clean. The clothes on the two people have been soaked in seawater, and they can't feel it when they are in the water, as soon as they get on the boat, the sea breeze blows, and even Cheng Zhichao has goosebumps, not to mention Meng Qinglong.
After they finished changing their clothes, one ear and the other person bent down, and they didn't know what mechanism they had touched, and the originally tightly knit deck actually parted to the left and right, revealing a large black hole. Unexpectedly, when Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong looked at the big hole, they found that the hole was not actually dark, in addition to the two futons, there was also a small lamp, although the degree was not too high, but it was more than enough for lighting.
A wooden ladder about two meters high was erected at the entrance of the cave, and one ear pointed to the wooden ladder: "Two of you, if you offend, you have to be wronged for two days." ”
Cheng Zhichao and Meng Qinglong sighed in unison and got into the hole. As soon as he sat down in the cabin, there was a slight "click" sound overhead, and the hole in his head slowly closed, and finally with a bang, it was tightly integrated into a whole with the original cabin.
The area of this dark hole is only a few square meters, but because of the excellent ventilation, it is not too boring for two people to squeeze in it. Moreover, one ear was extremely well prepared, and in addition to drinking water and food, even the big and small solutions were taken into account for them.
After Meng Qinglong saw Cheng Zhichao come in, he was very curious to look around, and he couldn't help but smile: "What are you looking at?" ”
"I suddenly discovered that smuggling is actually a very pleasant thing, not like the legend, dozens of people are crammed into a small space, even breathing hard, and if you are unlucky, you can suffocate people to death."
Meng Qinglong said with a smile: "This is because the two of us are Brother Guo's money, even if we don't look at the money, we have to look at Brother Guo's face." If people are not caught, but they are suffocated alive, how can they explain to Brother Guo? ”
Cheng Zhichao nodded, sat on the bunk and took a sip of water: "Big brother, you are more familiar with Brother Guo." Can you tell me a little bit about Brother Guo first? ”
"Brother Guo?"
Cheng Zhichao said with a slightly red face: "I don't know anything about him, I don't even know his temperament, I'm a little worried." ”
"With my brother covering you, what do you have to worry about?"
"I know you're good to me, big brother, but I can't rely on you for everything. If you didn't leave me to go abroad alone, I already owe you a great favor. Plus the hundreds of thousands of ...... of Brother Guo"
"You don't have to worry about this, when you meet Brother Guo, you will find that he is actually a very easy person to get along with, and he is eager to find talents. Now Brother Guo's business is getting bigger and bigger, and what he lacks the most is a person like you, who can fight, fight, and have brains. I bet it won't take you half a year to get to Brother Guo. It will soar into the sky. ”
"But in my heart, I still have no bottom."
"The boats are all on board, what can be done if they go up or down again? Isn't there such a saying: 'When a man dies and a bird rises to the sky, he will not die for thousands of years'. It's a big deal, my brother is fighting with you. ”
"Big brother......" Cheng Zhichao held Meng Qinglong's hand, and after saying a word of "gratitude", he couldn't say it anymore.
Sometimes, you can't go overboard. Cheng Zhichao has a talent for acting, and he has just the right amount of heat. not only expressed his feelings of leaving his homeland to suffer from gains and losses, but also implicitly implied that he was now lonely and helpless, and could only rely on Meng Qinglong to cover himself. At the same time, the expression on his face also vividly expressed his complex mentality, and for a while, the heroism complex in Meng Qinglong's heart was greatly mobilized, and he patted Cheng Zhichao's shoulder. didn't say a word, just expressed his determination to share weal and woe with Cheng Zhichao with a firm look.
In fact, Cheng Zhichao was moved for a moment in his heart at this moment, but then reason prevailed over his feelings and grabbed Meng Qinglong's hand. Slap it hard.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
There wasn't even a clock in the cabin, and the two of them didn't know how long they had been here, only that they ate when they were hungry, and slept when they were sleepy, and the only evidence that made them feel that they had not been forgotten by the world was the sound of footsteps overhead.
But the footsteps were also extremely slight, and if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to hear them at all. As for whether the ship will go or stop, they have no way of knowing. I don't know how long this muddy day has passed, and suddenly there is a familiar "click" sound overhead.
Both of them moved in their hearts, and they raised their heads together, only to see the deck slowly move to both sides, and after a while, the hole was exposed again. Then, a wooden ladder descended the entrance of the cave.
"Got to the place?" Cheng Zhichao's heart suddenly became excited, he took a step forward and jumped in front of the ladder, raised his head and looked up.
It was still dark outside, and the faces couldn't be seen clearly, and only a few figures could be seen in shadows, and before Cheng Zhichao could see these figures more clearly, a voice came from above: "Come out." ”
At this time, Meng Qinglong was also sure that he must have arrived at the place, otherwise, one ear would not open the hole.
At this time, the excitement in his heart was even stronger than Cheng Zhichao, although it was a foreign country, but when he arrived at the destination, it meant that his fugitive career was officially over and was about to usher in a new tomorrow.
Cheng Zhichao was closest to the ladder, climbed up first, and after his eyes adapted to the light a little, he touched the boat and walked outside the cabin, only to see the stars outside the cabin, a lonely moon hanging in the sky, and the moonlight was extremely dim. After one ear called him and Meng Qinglong out of the cabin, he took out a flashlight and shook it a few times into the distance. The flickering of the lights was about the same frequency as when they had been connected to the Golden Tooth, only this time it was just a large circle.
Soon, the light of the flashlight flashed in the distance, and the shaking amplitude was equally large. Cheng Zhichao saw that the two sides had already connected their heads, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that he was going to wade through the water with Meng Qinglong again. But what he didn't expect was that after the code, One Ear did not let them get off the boat, but ordered someone to drive the boat towards the bright light just now.
At this time, Cheng Zhichao found out that the boat did not dock at the seaside, but did not know when it turned into an inland river. This boat was originally a sea boat, which was somewhat different from a river boat, but I don't know what method one ear used, and it was enough to drive the sea boat into this inland river less than 20 meters wide.
In the dark night, it is not clear how deep the river is, but he can feel that the water is very fast, if he and Meng Qinglong jump into the river, it is no problem to swim over by themselves, but it is a little unreliable to take a Meng Qinglong who is dizzy when he sees the water. One ear let the boat sail to the shore, which is exactly what Cheng Zhichao wants.
Meng Qinglong also walked out of the cabin, his lips trembling and looking towards the bright light. Suddenly, the light stopped flickering, but shot directly into his face.
This is a very impolite behavior, but Meng Qinglong was not angry because of this, but was overjoyed, and shouted a series of words in his mouth, when Cheng Zhichao came to perform an undercover mission, the only thing he did not train was his language ability, and he didn't understand what Meng Qinglong was saying at all. However, based on the expression on Meng Qinglong's face, it can be inferred that he and the person who answered him should know each other.
"Could it be that Wang Ruiguo personally went out to greet Meng Qinglong, the life-saving benefactor?" (To be continued......)
