"The sailor said that you two wanted to kill him when he fell into the sea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Damn!" Wu Cuo's fist slammed into the bed, "Grandson! ā
Yan Ruyu said: "I think it's the ship's boss who wants to find trouble, and the crew just gives him an excuse." ā
"That's right!" Xiao Tian gave Yan Ruyu a thumbs up, "So, let's settle down and don't go and choke on these people who eat by the sea, after all, it's on their ship now, and there are many of them." ā
Wu Cuo thought so, nodded and said, "I will refrain from it." ā
Then he asked, "What are the rules on board?" If you hadn't come out to stir things up, what would have happened to them? ā
Xiao Tian shook his head, "I don't know the specifics, it's nothing more than some bad habits on the ship, forcing people to jump into the sea or something." The vast sea is a natural burial ground, and in the past, the captain of the ship punished the captured enemies by forcing them to jump into the sea. ā
"How many years has it been since the founding of the country? How dare they do that? Wu Cuo was very surprised.
Xiao Tiandao: "The sky is high on the sea, the emperor is far away, where is there any royal law, it is really thrown into the sea, who knows?" ā
While the three of them were talking, there was a knock on the hatch, and someone shouted outside: "It's time to eat!" Time to eat! ā
As soon as they shouted, the three of them suddenly felt hungry and hurriedly opened the door and went out.
There was no special place to eat on the fishing boat, so I saw the sailors each holding a cold bun in their hands, holding a steamed bun in one hand and a dried fish in the other, just standing on the deck and nibbling on it.
The buffalo captain also nibbled on steamed buns and dried fish, but he looked satisfied, and said to the three people who came out of the cabin: "I didn't eat this less when I was a child!" ā
Probably a little sick to his stomach by smelling the smell of dried fish, Wu Cuo frowned, obviously resisting.
Yan Ruyu vomited empty, but quickly devoured it.
"Lao Wu, why are you stunned, come and eat, this thing tastes good, it's like stinky tofu, it smells stinky and tastes fragrant."
As soon as Yan Ruyu said this, Wu Cuo took a small bite.
Sure enough, it's not unpalatable.
Soon, a small fish was eaten with a bun, and when Wu Cuo wanted to ask for another fish, he was fiercely rejected by the sailors who distributed the food.
"It's gone! This is the next meal! "The sailor has no good airway.
This sailor is very young, probably less than 20 years old.
Unlike other sailors, and unlike the captain of the ship, he wore a plaid casual shirt and beach pants, and although his skin was also dark, it was not the kind of black that had been deposited by the wind and sun over the years, but the kind of reddened black that had been sunburned by recent sudden exposure to the sun.
He's more like ...... Land animals, not middle-aged boat families adrift at sea.
However, there were five sailors who respected him very much, and even meant that they were his followers, and one of them was the sailor who was beaten by Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo.
"Brother Kun, don't be angry, they don't understand the rules."
It's the rules again!
Yan Ruyu and the three of them glanced at each other and remained silent.
The Buffalo Chief glanced meaningfully at the Captain of the Boat, who turned his gaze away as if nothing had happened.
After a while, the captain of the boat said: "You have to save some food, the huge waves have damaged the engine, and the land cannot go back, and now you can only drift to Laitou Island with currents, wind and experience, and I don't know how long it will take!" ā
For Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo, who had never been to sea, this was already the worst situation they could imagine, but looking at the ship boss's calm expression, the two couldn't figure out for a while, whether the ship boss deliberately did this to stabilize the morale of the army, or whether it was just a minor problem at the moment.
The young man known as Brother Kun said: "From today onwards, those who work will have two meals and two bottles of fresh water a day, and those who do not work will only have one meal and one bottle of fresh water. ā
As soon as these words came out, the five sailors who followed Brother Kun naturally didn't care, they knew that they would never starve, but the two sailors beside the ship boss had anger in their eyes.
The captain of the ship coughed secretly, stopped the two sailors who wanted to come forward to theorize, and said in a round field: "In this case, everyone should maintain their strength." ā
He explained to a sailor behind him: "At the current speed and course, if you are lucky, you will be able to see Laitou Island in the early hours of this morning."
The view is not good at night, so you have to pay attention to the lookout. ā
Yan Ruyu asked, "What if I didn't make it to Laitou Island?" What's next? ā
Brother Kun spat a mouthful of thick phlegm into the sea, "Grass! Crow's beak! Can't you fucking hope for something better? ā
This time, the boat boss replied to Yan Ruyu quite seriously, "Then it can only depend on the mood of the Dragon King, but ......"
He pointed to the buffalo and continued: "Such a big leader is missing, the pomp and circumstance of the search and rescue must be much more than saving our little people, hehe, it shouldn't be able to float for a few days." ā
His words were obviously sarcastic, Yan Ruyu didn't bother to reason with him, and continued: "What is the hope of being able to get to Laitou Island? ā
"Then you'll have to ask the Dragon King."
After eating, the three of them didn't want to go back to the small cabin, so they simply gathered around the side of the boat to watch the buffalo chief fishing.
I don't know where he found the hook and line from the boat, and he also got two small shrimps, and peeled the shrimp out to make bait.
When the bait entered the water, the buffalo director simply sat down on the deck and said to Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo: "Actually, it's okay if you don't go to the island this time, because the corpse has been transported back, physical evidence has been extracted from the scene, and a lot of photos have been taken." However, the day before yesterday, something happened again. ā
Director Buffalo and Xiao Tian glanced at each other, and Xiao Tian said in a low voice: "Our second group of people who went to the island are missing!" ā
"What?!" Wu Cuo was so surprised that he almost stood up.
"The second group on the island included two members of the Crime Squad ā also members of my team, and two of them were on a ship belonging to the Coast Guard, and the captain and crew of the ship were all missing."
Director Buffalo said: "This matter has too much impact, the news has been blocked from above, and now all our investigations are conducted in secret." ā
"Fishing boats are rented, and it's still a secret? I see, when the captain of the ship forces us to jump into the sea, we will not be able to keep any secrets. Wu Cuo was obviously still worried about the rules on the ship.
"He won't, I know this man," said the Buffalo Chief, with certainty, "besides, it wasn't me who I was looking for, but he begged me to hire his boat." ā
The buffalo chief noticed that there was no one around, and only then told the two of them about this. When he said this, he lowered his voice very low, at least twice as fast, and after speaking, he deliberately said loudly: "How is it? Do you dare to bet? I'm going to catch a fish today! ā
Yan Ruyu immediately cooperated: "What can't you bet on?" If you catch a fish, I'll treat you to a week's meal with braised pork! ā
"Good! If you can't catch it, I'll invite you! Officer Wu, what about you? Don't put a bet? The buffalo lowered his voice again, as if he was saying something to persuade Wu to increase the blockage.
"Remember, the captain has no ill will, and besides, don't talk about the case in the cabin......"
Wu Cuo suddenly said loudly: "I'll raise!" Chief Buffalo, if you can catch a fish, my salary for this month will be yours! ā
A slightly flirtatious voice sounded, "It's interesting, why don't I also make a bet with the director, can the director look down on us little people?" ā
It's Brother Kun!
