Lin Shenhe took the small sip of water that belonged to him more than others in his mouth, and was reluctant to drink it, he wanted to use this water to moisten his dry mouth little by little.

"Brother Shenhe, did you see anything on it?" Wang Qinian asked. Everyone has been locked up in this cargo hold for months, and this feeling is even worse than the previous imprisonment, when they are in prison, there is still a chance to see the stars and moon through the small window, and at this time, the smiles of those relatives who are either long dead or still alive but different sides of the world will be imprinted on the reddish moon to evoke sweet or bitter memories for them.

But on this ship, there was only a small top hatch, and a month ago, a little bit of the sky could be seen from this hatch, but since that unsuccessful resistance, the foreign devils have closed the hatch more than half in normal times, leaving only a small gap, which can leak a little light and come in through some air. So now, everyone is very envious of the person who can go up and have a look, and they are also very curious about what he sees. It sounds like people who pour and urine talk about the above situation, and now, it has almost become a rare entertainment activity for everyone every day.

Seeing that it was Wang Qinian who asked himself, Lin Shenhe hurriedly swallowed the water in his mouth, and then replied: "Brother Wang, in fact, it's nothing, it's a thief on it, and as soon as I climbed up, I couldn't open my eyes for a long time......"

"And then? What do you see? Someone immediately asked anxiously.

"The ship, the sea, the sky, and a few foreign devils with guns. What else can you see? Lin Shenhe replied.

"Damn, that's it, you really went up for nothing, Chen Bachi went up for a trip, and talked for two hours, you're good, just two fucking sentences when you go up. I knew that it was better to let Chen Eight Feet go up. Someone immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.

"That's it, I said I would go up. I'll go up next time, right? Chen Bachi immediately seized the opportunity to sell himself.

"Chen Bachi, you want to take advantage!"

"Chen Bachi, you are dreaming!"

A large group of people immediately pointed the finger of criticism at Chen Bachi. But now, everyone is only using the weapon of criticism, not the criticism of weapons, because there is nothing in this cabin that can be used to make weapons.

"Brother Shenhe, think about it again," Wang Qinian also said with some disappointment, "Well, Brother Shenhe, you have also read a little book, and you are a person who knows words, how can you just say such two sentences?" Didn't you drink that saliva for nothing? ”

Yes, Lin Shenhe is different from others, he is not a "bandit" like Wang Qinian, he was originally just a child in the countryside of Foshan, he went to Guangzhou a few months ago to visit relatives, and then went to Flower Street and Willow Lane to play, but was accidentally picked up by pickpockets to take away the money. As a result, I couldn't get the money out of the game after playing. So, not to mention being beaten, he also made it clear that he was a foreigner, and as a result, well, Lin Shenhe was sold to this boat as a piglet.

On this boat, Lin Shenhe and these bandits are not all the way, but Wang Qinian is very good to him because of Lin Shenhe's study. For this reason, Lin Shenhe of course has to work harder to think about it.

Lin Shenhe thought hard, and then he suddenly remembered a little more, "Oh, by the way, I saw another boat just now, far away, I can't see clearly." ”

"A boat, what kind of boat? Lin Shenhe, you are lucky, you can actually see a boat! What kind of ship is it? ”

……

"It was a ship from the Anti-Smuggling Ship Bureau, and they signaled to us to stop the ship and inspect it." First mate Gran said to Captain Schmidt.

"Stop the boat." Smit said. The radio station is still in trial production in Scrooge's factory, and the cargo ship "Ursa Major", which went out a few months ago, of course, cannot have such a high-end and high-grade thing, so although recently, the whole of San Francisco, and even the whole United States, have been making a fuss because of the "slave ship", but the crew of the "Ursa Major" absolutely knows nothing about it.

The ship began to shrink gradually, and the ship of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau gradually approached. A dinghy was lowered from the anti-smuggling boat, and several people descended to the dinghy and rowed the dinghy over.

The Ursa Major lowered the rope ladder, and several people in the dinghy took turns climbing up, two of whom caught the attention of Captain Smidt. One of them appeared to be an Oriental, and the other was certainly not a man who often ran on the sea, as could be seen from his clumsy movements on the rope ladder when he got on the boat.

Several people climbed aboard the boat, and the man in the lead, Smit, recognized it as Dhorn, the first mate of the anti-smuggling ship.

"Mr. Doon, why are you personally leading the team?" Smit greeted him and said with a grin.

"What are you carrying on board?" Doon asked.

"Some workers recruited from China." Smit didn't hide it, and there was nothing to hide.

"Can we check that?" Doon asked.

"Absolutely. It's just that the smell below is not very good, and your people really want to check it out? "Then they'd better wear masks." ”

"We're prepared." Doon said, "Now take me to the captain's room, and I'm going to take a look at the voyage records."

"Well, okay, please come with me." Smit felt a little strange about Doon's request, and previous inspections had never been so meticulous. Could it be that something has happened recently?

"Oh, who's the doctor on your ship? His various records are also shown to us. Well, just give it to Jack over there?? Mr. Payne take a look. Doon continued.

"Okay, no problem." Now Smit roughly figured it out. This must be which damn ship, bringing some strict infectious disease to the port, as a result, the port side, and even the whole of San Francisco will naturally be very nervous, so they specially sent people to inspect the sea, well, now the situation of those two eccentric characters is easy to understand, that Oriental must be a translator, well, it seems that the infectious disease must have been brought by those Orientals, fortunately, they are handled well here, as long as they are sick, they are thrown into the sea and fed to the sharks......

……

Yang Tai went down to the cargo hold, and the dark environment made him almost unable to see anything for a while. He could only smell a stench mixed with sweat and feces and urine, and he almost suffocated from the smoke. It took a while for his eyesight to gradually recover.

"Who of you here counts?" Yang Tai asked in Chinese Mandarin.

"Me!" Wang Qinian stood up, although he didn't know where this person came from, but at this time, when he was the boss, he had to look like a boss.

Wang Qinian walked towards Yang Tai. Yang Tai heard Wang Qinian's answer, which seemed to have a Guangxi accent, so he was very cordial, and he immediately responded in Guangxi dialect: "That brother is from Guangxi?" Brother, I am Yong'an. ”

It was beyond Wang Qinian's expectation to be able to meet a fellow villager in this place, so he hurriedly walked a few steps up and said, "Brother, I am from Guilin." ”

At this time, the distance between the two people was already very close, close enough to see each other's appearance clearly. Wang Qinian suddenly appeared, this person seemed to be very familiar, he thought about it, and suddenly shouted: "Big brother, you are Brother Yang!" How did you end up here? ”

The person on the other side suddenly recognized himself, which surprised Yang Tai, he stared at Wang Qinian carefully and looked at it, as if he was a little familiar, but he just couldn't remember who it was.

Wang Qinian probably saw Yang Tai's doubts, and said with a smile: "Brother is Wang Qinian, eldest brother doesn't remember?" We have fought Qing demons together before, and Brother Wang also saved his brother's life. ”

"Oh, it's Brother Qinian, why did you lose weight like this?" Yang Tai suddenly remembered that the person opposite was indeed his acquaintance, Wang Qinian, but now he lost a lot of weight. He didn't recognize him for a while.

"I'm fine. Big brother, do you remember Chen Bachi? Now it's not necessarily possible to lose four feet. ”

"Is that Chen Bachi, who is eight feet tall and has a waist circumference of eight feet? Remember, why don't you remember, it's all my own brothers. What, the Eight Feet Brothers are here too? ”

"Brother Yang, brother Chen Guang is here!"

……

"Smit, there are so many people on your ship, and now there's only so little left?" Doon asked.

"No way, the sanitary conditions are too poor. If we hadn't handled it in a timely manner, we wouldn't have been able to do that. Captain Smit replied, "But the rest are still healthy, and they can be sent to the Central Pacific Railroad, and there is still something to be earned." ”

"Your ship can't go directly to the port right now, and these people, including all your seamen, will first have to go to our docks for quarantine and inspection." Doon said.

"There's an epidemic in the port?" Smit asked.

"Of course, why else would we have worked so hard to check so carefully? You guys, mess up everything! "A week ago, a river carrying Chinese workers on a boat brought the plague ashore!" ”

"Plague!" Smit's face turned white all of a sudden, "There's nothing wrong with the city, right?" He immediately thought of his wife and children.

"Fortunately, it was in time, and nothing major happened." "But the whole port, the whole city is nervous. You should be able to imagine that, too. Therefore, these Chinese, as well as you, have to be quarantined for a period of time. ”

"What the hell!" Captain Smit scolded, "But I understand. Well, I know there's a ship that transports this same Chinese guy as us, and it's out two days after us. Keep an eye on them, and don't let them bring this damn plague to San Francisco. ”

"Of course," replied Doon, "it's our duty, and besides, I'm going to protect my family." Well, this voyage record, as well as the various records of the ship's doctor, we are going to take it. For doctors' reference. No problem, right? ”

"No problem, we're absolutely cooperative." Smit hastenedly said
