Waiting is a helpless choice, a painful torment.

Waiting for an unknown fate in a small cabin is a cruel reality. Waiting for the sun to come out of the storm, or waiting for the boundless darkness of the ship to fall.

In order to make this kind of ordeal a little more comfortable, Qin Zhiyuan could only keep chatting with a few people in the same cabin, talking about everyone's previous lives, talking about possible bright prospects after arriving in Europe, talking about the daily salary of five francs that he had not yet gotten his hands on, etc., etc., and talking about any topic that could be thought of, so as to divert everyone's attention and add some beautiful expectations to the desperate reality.

As the chat deepened, everyone gradually became familiar with each other, and the six people in the same cabin, in addition to Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhisheng from Cangzhou, Zhili (now Cangzhou, Hebei), the other four were Gao Hongshi from Heze, Shandong, Chen Kangjian from Shunde (now Xingtai, Hebei), Ge Lifu from Dengfeng, Henan, and Liu Zizheng from Wen County, Henan.

Among the six, Liu Zizheng is the oldest, 31 years old this year, Liu Zizheng is doing things safely, and Shicai is the first to apologize to Qin Zhiyuan. Gao Hongshi is younger, one year younger than Qin Zhiyuan, and he will shout a "brother" very affectionately. Chen Kangjian is 26 years old this year, his figure is the thickest among the six, and his appearance is relatively honest, he seems to be a rammer, and just now he was the first to accuse Qin Zhiyuan. Greef, 28 years old, is not tall, talks the least, and appears to be a man who acts more than words.

Everyone chatted and chatted very hotly, which not only deepened their understanding of each other, but also relieved the pressure brought by the storm, but also because of a misunderstanding of Shicai, which inexplicably increased the hardships of being in the same boat through thick and thin, and the feelings were more intimate.

"Brothers, you talk first, I'll go out to the toilet." Gao Hongshi confessed, staggered open the hatch and walked towards the toilet at the end of the passage.

"Be careful not to fall in, I won't catch you this whirlwind." Chen Kangjian is indeed a rammer, this broken mouth has no wind, as soon as he opens his mouth, he seems to see a crow "croaking" flying by.

"Brother Chen, don't underestimate the little brother, the little brother has also practiced, and he will not fall into the dung pit when he goes to the toilet with a drunken fist." Gao Hongshi's voice is full of energy, and his tone is stable and even, which shows that what he said is true.

"It's really, don't say I really haven't paid attention, our hometown is considered the hometown of martial arts, and my brothers must have practiced it." Let Gao Hongshi say it, Qin Zhiyuan suddenly remembered, no wonder when everyone reported their family just now, Qin Zhiyuan felt quite familiar, and now that he thinks about it carefully, they are not all the hometown of martial arts.

"Really, dare to ask a few brothers if they have ever learned kung fu?" Chen Kangjian is the most active, and he knows from his body that he must have done a lot with people on weekdays.

"Hehe, it's all blind practice, it's not kung fu or no kung fu, it's just a few tricks to practice a few tricks and lack of muscles." Before Qin Zhiyuan could speak, Qin Zhisheng stopped the conversation first, the so-called "it's better to hide the ugliness than to hide it", Qin Zhisheng naturally won't cause indifferent trouble.

Chinese kung fu focuses on cultivating the mind. Practicing martial arts is not to compete and win, but to strengthen the body, some people may think that this is a comforting word that Chinese martial arts skills are not as good as people, in fact, every master will say this sentence in front of him when teaching his apprentices, as a warning and admonishment.

Looking at Chen Kangjian's temperament, once everyone admits that he has practiced martial arts, he will have to open up the posture to divide the high and low, which is not counted. The two of them competed, and if they won the battle, they were hurt and angry, and if they lost, they were not convinced. This is the same as playing mahjong, no matter how iron the buddy is, he can be broken into thirteen.

"Not bad, it's good, I can't talk about kung fu or anything, it's embarrassing to say it." Liu Zizheng was very thoughtful, and blocked Chen Kangjian's possible competition with self-deprecation.

"......" Griff's usual taciturnity.

"Oh, my brothers are too polite, this long night, there is no pai gow to push, let's play with two hands, we can pass the time, but also strengthen the body, wouldn't it be better?" Seeing that everyone didn't accept the offer, Chen Kangjian scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time, and actually let him find a reason.

"Alas, why hasn't this little gaozi come back yet? I didn't really fall into it. "At a critical time, it is still necessary for Qin Zhiyuan to come out and open the topic.

"Little Gaozi" is Qin Zhiyuan's nickname for Gao Hongshi, although the name sounds ambiguous, it is undeniable that this kind of behavior is very conducive to getting closer. Of course, this kind of behavior also has to be divided into objects, such as Chen Kangjian, if you dare to call him "Xiaojianren", he has to fight with you.

"That's it, that's it, I'll go out and have a look, but don't really fall in." As soon as Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, Qin Zhisheng opened the door and walked out.

"Can such a big living person really fall into it? It's not easy to fall into the small hole of the Rausch toilet. Seeing that everyone was about to scatter birds and beasts, Chen Kangjian was very dissatisfied.

The toilet was installed in the toilet of the Victory Message, which was originally intended to be convenient for people to use, but since the workers got on the boat, the toilet has become the enemy. Most of the laborers are ordinary people, and they are used to squatting on weekdays, and they have never used the toilet at all, so many people feel that they can't pull it off when they sit on the toilet, so there are often people squatting on the edge of the narrow toilet, and Qin Zhiyuan has to bring more straw paper every time he goes to the toilet, not only to wipe his buttocks, but also to wipe the edge of the toilet......

Speaking of which, there is a real possibility of falling into it.

No sooner had the door opened than a quarrel entered the cabin.

"What? Do? Let go and hear it, if you don't let go, Lao Tzu will do it, don't tell me the bird language, Lao Tzu doesn't understand, can you translate it? This is Gao Hongshi's voice, and it sounds like he has been stopped.

"Oh, there is something to say, there is something to say, why bother pulling and pulling, what kind of system?" This is the voice of Huang Fugui, the translator of the ship.

"The first mate has issued an order asking you to tie yourselves to the bed, why don't you obey the order? Still hanging out in the cabin? I'm going to arrest you now, you damn pig. "Someone was shouting in French, and it sounded like a sailor on a ship.

The first time he heard the quarrel, Qin Zhiyuan got up and went out, with a professional smile on his face and wanted to explain. As soon as he went out, Qin Zhiyuan heard the word "pig", and then Qin Zhiyuan's face instantly turned iron blue.

"Did you hear what I said? You pig, damn pig, damn yellow-skinned monkey, do you want me to repeat it again? You damned yellow-skinned monkey, I wish you all to die in France, and you should all die in France. The sailor probably felt that no one could understand French, and he had been cursing loudly in French, even if he saw Qin Zhiyuan and them coming, he didn't mean to stop.

"Brother, this foreign devil won't let me go, I can't understand what he is saying, brother, hurry up and turn it over." Seeing Qin Zhiyuan and a few people coming, Gao Hongshi suddenly shouted for help, this feeling of talking with a duck is really terrible, Gao Hongshi's urge to learn a foreign language has never been so strong as it is now.

The French sailor in front of Gao Hongshi is not tall, and compared with Gao Hongshi, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, he is half a head lower, and his chest and back are also thinner, but in view of the sailor's foreigner status and the pistol hanging on his waist, Gao Hongshi did not dare to move.

"You bastard, your words really disgust me, is that how your mother taught you?" Before Qin Zhiyuan arrived in front of the two of them, he immediately scolded.

Qin Zhiyuan has a lot of experience in dealing with foreigners, as long as you understand their rules and know how their society operates, foreigners are much easier to deal with than Chinese.

"You, you, you, you dare to curse?" The French sailors obviously couldn't think that anyone could understand his words here, and they only squeezed out such a sentence after opening their mouths for a long time.

"Yes! I'm just scolding you! When you insult someone, be prepared to be insulted, didn't your mother teach you? "To speak is to have confidence, Qin Zhiyuan will not let it at all.

As soon as he saw someone coming forward, Huang Fugui immediately hid aside, and seemed to have a deep understanding of the meaning of the word "Mingzhe to protect himself".

"Hey, pig, I'm going to teach you a lesson." The French sailor was obviously enraged, and punched Qin Zhiyuan in the face.

As soon as the "pop" fist was swung out, it was grabbed by Qin Zhiyuan. Then Qin Zhiyuan waved his hand to block the other fist that came over, grabbed the French sailor's neck, lifted him up and pressed him against the wall next to him.

"Don't do it lightly, it will hurt you. Especially don't take it lightly with Chinese, when we organized hundreds of thousands of people to start a group fight, you were still picking fruit with your bare butts...... See what I mean? Qin Zhiyuan leaned close to the French sailor's red face with a gloomy face, and viciously stared at the French sailor's eyes that had begun to turn white with a murderous gaze.

"Yes, yes sir." The French sailor grabbed Qin Zhiyuan's arm as hard as steel in vain, and squeezed a few words out of his throat with difficulty.

"Very well, be polite next time you have a question, pay attention to your words, don't use insulting words, that is tantamount to insulting yourself, I will keep an eye on you, Mr. Sailor." After Qin Zhiyuan finished speaking, he let go of his arms and let the hapless sailor slip along the wall and fall to the ground.

The sailor coughed violently with tears streaming down his neck, and although his hand reached for the pistol at his waist, he did not dare to pull it out. Huang Fugui, who was watching the fire from the other side, came over to help the sailor who lacked virtue at this time, and his eyes looking at Qin Zhiyuan's back were full of surprise and respect.

"I'll remember you, too, Mr. 10086." Seeing that Qin Zhiyuan and the others had already gone away, they shouted out inwardly.

10086？

Just as he was about to enter the door, Qin Zhiyuan looked down at the number on the uniform on his chest, it was indeed 10086.
