Chapter 166: Get on board
"Let it go!" Lin Xingyu said in a low voice.
The man obediently let go of his hand, but his body drew closer and closer to her.
Lin Xingyu ignored the man who spoke, frowned and pulled Lin Zizi to the side and sat down slowly.
The man sat down next to them.
The eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness in the warehouse, but they could see the basic outline of the person vaguely through the light through the gap in the plywood above.
"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Huo Ye." The man bumped Lin Xingyu's arm with his familiar one: "What about you?" ”
Lin Xingyu twitched the corners of his mouth and didn't make a sound.
Huo Ye said dissatisfiedly: "Come and don't be rude!" Now that I've covered them all, should you introduce them as well? ”
Lin Zizai laughed and said, "My sister's name is Lin Youran, and my name is Lin Zizai." ”
"Now that we all know each other and are in the same boat, should we advance and retreat together in the same boat?" Huo Ye patted Lin Zizi's shoulder and deliberately raised his voice.
The refugees who heard their conversation immediately rushed over and began to call out their names.
Lin Xingyu kicked Huo Ye with a headache, this guy's wishful thinking was good.
Huo Ye reacted sensitively and dodged away, and said with a smile: "Leisurely girl, since you insist on plunging into the man's pile as a woman, you must be worried that something will happen to your younger brother before you make this decision. ”
Huo Ye's tone was full of morale-boosting enthusiasm, which made Lin Xingyu look sideways.
No matter how you look at it, you can only see a vague outline.
"Do you know the ship's destination?" She asked, pointedly.
Huo Ye snorted coldly and said: "When the horse thief and that Brother Long divided the silver before, I heard something, that Ming Steward is the chief steward of the Meng Family Commercial Bank, Mingli is responsible for the entry and exit of the goods of the Meng Family Commercial Bank, and secretly controls the mining of iron ore, and a group of us were bought to dig iron ore." ”
Iron ore mining is similar to coal mining, both will lead to land subsidence and panic, but in this era, the biggest harm of iron ore is that it will emit a harmful gas.
Once a person inhales it for a long time, coupled with working day and night, it is easy to develop cancer.
Therefore, the life expectancy of the average iron miner is not more than five years, and the shortest may receive a lunch box in one month.
"Digging iron ore? No, I'm not going to dig iron ore, I'm going out. ”
"What's the difference between digging iron ore and dying for nothing? I don't want to die! ”
"I want to go home, I miss my wife!"
“.......。”
Obviously, everyone here knows the horrors of iron ore.
"Brush! What's the noise? If you make any more noise, throw all of you down and feed the fish. ”
A three- or four-inch opening was opened on the side wall of the warehouse, and a person shouted viciously into the warehouse.
The crowd fell silent for a moment.
Seeing that his threat had worked, the man triumphantly sealed the open opening.
"Since you proposed to escape, you must have had some kind of careful plan in mind." Lin Xingyu raised his eyebrows and said.
Huo Ye said in a sneering voice: "I can't talk about a careful plan, and there is no good way, but I have already figured out the number of people on this ship." ”
"Oh?" Lin Xingyu couldn't help but be interested, but he didn't expect that this Huo Ye's ability was not small, and he could find out the number of people on this ship in such a short time.
Huo Ye pondered for a moment and told what he had seen and heard in detail.
"Before getting on the ship, I took a cursory look at the position of the sailors on the ship, the whole ship is divided into three layers, there are three sailors every ten meters or so, the whole ship is about one hundred and three meters long and twenty meters wide, so that the sailors who can be seen are less than fifty people in total."
"After getting on the boat, they just changed shifts, and I guess they worked in shifts every two hours, so that there were almost three hundred people in total, and the patrol team in the aisle, a team of twenty people, assuming that it also changed every two hours, and there were more than three hundred people on the third floor, which added up to more than six hundred."
"For such a large ship, it is estimated that there are only too few sailors rowing, and according to normal sailing ships, there will be at least two or three hundred people in two shifts."
After hearing this, Lin Xingyu estimated in his heart and said: "According to what you mean, this ship is not a secret thug, at least there are nearly a thousand people?" ”
Huo Ye was slightly deflated and said: "I know that it is very difficult to escape from the ship, but I am unwilling not to try." ”
As soon as these words came out, the room in the warehouse was quiet.
Only light or heavy breathing sounds can be heard.
"Sister!" Lin Zizi hugged Lin Xingyu's arm and leaned his head on her arm, breaking the momentary frozen atmosphere.
Lin Xingyu listened to Lin Zizi's soft voice like a deer, her heart was soft, and she reached out and rubbed his long hair that was not supple and said, "Don't be afraid, no matter what, my sister will accompany you!" ”
looked up at Huo Ye: "Actually, it's not completely uncertain if you want to seize the ship. ”
Huo Ye was stunned, and his eyes looked at the black emaciated silhouette urgently.
He knew that she was different from those ordinary women.
Along the way, her courage, scheming, means, skills.... All of them made him look the other way.
Take that trick of shooting fish bones with empty palms as an example, it must be combined quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly, and none of them can be successful.
I'm afraid that the horse thief named Lao Scoop has died now.
When the others heard Lin Xingyu say this, they were even more excited.
The night in winter is already cold, and walking on the water at this moment is even more cold.
The moonlight like water imprinted on the rolling water, stirring up countless sparkling ripples, as if the ice had suddenly been scattered, and the mist was filled.
The cold wind shivered, and the sailors standing guard at the bow rubbed their hands back and forth.
"Ge Laozi, there is not even a ghost, keep a fart, it is better to go back to the house and sleep."
"Let's stay here and drink the northwest wind, they are good, hide in it and have good wine and meat."
"One of you doesn't say a few words, and Commander Zhang will come in a while, and you will be good-looking."
Speaking of this commander Zhang, several sailors all showed a timid look.
"Commander Zhang can't stay in any gentle township now, how can he have the kung fu to control us."
"It's not, although our brothers are responsible for keeping watch in the middle of the night today, but usually Liu Sun and the others don't run to sleep early, how can they be so stupid as a few of us, and stay here wholeheartedly."
"Isn't that special tonight? With so many mines on board at once, it's better to be careful. ”
"That's it! Be careful with a hammer, those miscellaneous seeds with a sloppy body, do you dare to resist? ”
"Haha, it's just right to resist, Ge Laozi's belly is on fire and he didn't send an envoy, it's okay to grab a few bad seeds as sandbags and beat them."
