Chapter 1 Escapees
At 3:10 p.m., on a hot summer day, a group of men who looked like migrant workers loaded all their bags onto the board, their skin tanned by the scorching sun, and they were already sweating. In addition to work, colleagues and colleagues do not forget to make a few jokes to render the boring atmosphere.
"Yo, there's still twenty boxes left to move, how about a drink after that?"
"Of course, there is a nice bar nearby, what is it called...... Husband? ”
"Oh, I've seen that one, it's called Feiluan, you're illiterate!"
"Hahaha, that's how I read it."
On the wooden chairs under the lace parasols on the side of the road sat a man and a woman, the man looked like a gentleman, and the girl dressed as a little princess, and they kept drinking tea and watching the busy people not far away.
"Dad, why don't we go to the bar too?"
The man, Merk, turned around and said, "You are not yet a minor, so you are not allowed to go." At the end he added, "I'm sure I'll be molested." ”
"I won't, Dad." Suddenly, the girl's little face was stained with a flush.
At this time, inside the Fenglian Bar.
The central spotlights on the moon-shaped ceiling illuminate the ground in a colorful light, and a few drunken guests ignore their images and stomp on the central dance floor with frivolous steps, drawing countless cheers from the surrounding audience. Whether it's day or night, especially in the second half of the day, business here is brisk every day.
A drunken young man with non-mainstream blue hair lay on the bar and almost fell asleep.
"Hey, I didn't say you, you should get a serious job, right?" Across from him, the bartender was sassafrass with his glass, urging him to turn back sooner, "For example, help with your dad's pharmaceutical company." ”
"Forget it, I'm not interested." The blue hair raised his hand and put it down.
"Then you can't be like this all the time, can you?" The bartender looked at him with a strange expression and sighed, "I'm your father's friend to take care of you so much, and it's hard to say anything else." ”
"Another Tsingtao, no, fire dragon cocktail." Bluehair moved the empty wine glass to him.
"You're really drinking too much."
The steel gate was suddenly kicked open, and several fierce men rushed in, and the two fierce eyes looked left and right, and the drunken men and women scattered in fright.
The leader was a large bald man with a wooden stick, and he immediately recognized the young man who was lying on the bar drinking empty wine glasses, because his blue hair was so eye-catching.
"That's him, don't let him run!" The bald head pointed his index finger and said to his companion.
Hearing this, the blue hair immediately came to his senses, he picked up the water glass in front of him and drank it down, and then quickly ran around the bar and into the aisle. He knew the structure of the bar, so he quickly stepped out of the wallpapered back door and took it back on.
There happened to be a faucet for washing vegetables by the door, and the blue hair took off her coat as quickly as possible, opened the faucet and washed her hair, washing off all the remaining hair dye. After that, he blended in with the walking crowd.
The blue hair "evaporated" in this way, and the strong men who rushed to him could no longer find him.
The young man, Yang Qingnan, was "scarred" by a lot of foreign debt. He raised his head to look at Jiao Yang hanging above his head, and then glanced down at the cheap pocket watch on his chest.
At 3:50, there were still 10 minutes left.
Yang Qingnan leisurely walked to the long-distance passenger ship docked on the shore, stuffed the ticket in his trouser pocket into the ticket inspector's hand, and then stepped on the escalator, and then jumped onto the deck. The changed sailors looked back at him with some surprise, though he was one of a handful of people with little luggage, all of whom had only a small brown-colored fanny pack.
No one ever wondered what was inside, even the most terrible new drugs, because no one would have bothered to check the passengers' luggage.
Once people get on the boat, they throw their luggage into the cabins, which are about six square meters for single boats and ten square meters for larger ones, which are limited. Therefore, the temporary sale of tickets limits the number of people, but it does not mean that there will be no stowaways.
Of all the passengers, some traveled abroad, some to make ends meet, some to find relatives, and some to flee.
Yang Qingnan is one of them, and he even vividly calls it self-experience.
The ticket was bought this morning, and he was going to be the last one to board the ship, but he didn't expect the debt collector to suddenly come to the door, so the plan had to be advanced. Instead of being stupid enough to tell his parents about his trip to sea, he told the bartender, Apo, and by the time they found out, he had already run away.
Just after four o'clock, after a violent roar, the passenger ship slowly sailed away from the port, like a growing white swan who sooner or later left his parents.
The destination is an unfamiliar country on the other side of the ocean, and the expected arrival time is a month away, or maybe three weeks if the situation is good. Yang Qingnan is hesitant about the unknown road ahead, but he is ready to see one step at a time, just like climbing, you never know where to catch the rocks is safe.
The food on board is enough for the people on board to eat for a month, so daily feeding is not a problem. Even so, due to the lack of refrigerators and the lack of perishable foods such as meat, vegetables and fruits, there are many dry grains, and it is difficult to ensure all kinds of nutrients required by the human body.
To prevent this, crew members often carry vitamin tablets and compressed foods that can be stored for a long time, and conditions such as beriberi and scurvy often get caught up in them.
In the first few days of going to sea, the wind was beautiful and the waves were calm, and Yang Qingnan sat alone in the cabin every day eating the freshly cooked noodles that were still very tough, and occasionally received a few small bundles of spicy squid shreds to chew. The noodles are bland and tasteless, and the shredded squid is dry and hard, and it is better to eat these than to chew your own mint gum. So soon he got tired of eating, and he wanted to supplement with vitamins and protein.
There are no entertainment facilities on this ship, so it can only entertain itself.
Yang Qingnan's only pleasure is helping the crew with chores, such as scrubbing the floor, cutting shredded potatoes, and it is worth mentioning that repairing children is also his specialty. If he did well, the crew would reward him with a few vitamin tablets or some coins, but that wasn't the most important thing to him.
What impressed him the most was the scene of the sailors rounding up the mackerel with nets, which made him both excited and pleasantly surprised, because there was finally meat to eat. Everyone can get a little bit of fish, although even the roundworms in the stomach can't be fed, but it's really delicious, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it would be nice to be able to eat such delicious food during the New Year.
When there are more coins in his hand, Yang Qingnan will go to the merchant diagonally opposite to exchange for a bottle of lemonade, and drink it in his mouth to be extremely refreshing, fluttering like a fairy.
