I was awakened from my sleep by the sound of alarms, I opened my hazy eyes, picked up the cigarette on the bedside and lit it, took a few deep breaths greedily, let the nicotine walk around in my body, and instantly refreshed a lot.

I like this feeling very much, then I rolled over and got out of bed, walked to the window, opened the window and looked at the sea outside, the sun shone on me, some warmth, and it was also very comfortable, looking at this strange and familiar city, I smiled, today, it is another good weather.

I looked at my watch, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning, it was a new day, and the work had to go on, so I got dressed, picked up the keys and walked out

My name is Jin Zhongyi, and my original name is Aixin Jueluo. Zhongyi, a descendant of the Manchu royal family, the ancestor was the regent Z Feng in the late Qing period, after the beginning of the Republic of China, the family began to come to an end, to my grandfather's generation, it was even worse, there was no identity and status in the past, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and when it came to my father's generation, the former royal family was gone, leaving only the ordinary people, and the past has become history.

I was born in the Northeast, grew up near the Great Khing'an Mountains, has the characteristics of a typical Northeast person, 28 years old this year, used to be a marine, I served in the army for five years, I thought I could make a difference, but because of a mission, resulting in the failure of the whole team, and finally I was ordered to recover early, which is also a blow to my life.

After being discharged from the army, I was assigned to a state-owned enterprise, and the benefits in all aspects were not bad, and it was good at the beginning, but after a few months, I couldn't stand the attitude of these leaders, and finally in the drinking game again, I shot and beat the leader, and the leader was not lightly injured, and he was hospitalized for more than a month, and I was fired from the unit because of this incident.

Because of this incident, my father scolded me a lot, after all, this is a lifelong job, so I was smashed, and then the family dragged the relationship and found someone, and failed to arrange a suitable place for me.

In order to stop worrying about the old couple, I planned to go out to do some business, so I came to this strange coastal city alone, and stayed for another five years.

In the past five years, my life has not been very satisfactory, but it is okay, and it is really difficult for a person like me who has no diploma and no technology to make some achievements in this society.

When I started looking for a job, I ran into a wall everywhere, either for a diploma or for experience, what I learned in the army was not used in society at all, except for capable bodyguards, there was no one suitable for me, but I didn't want to eat on the knife edge, so I gave up this idea.

Then there was a security company recruiting, I wanted to try it, but when I looked at the salary, it was really pitiful, living in this metropolis, this salary was almost nothing after paying the rent.

Later, I met a friend, he introduced me to dry sailors, this is an ocean-going ship, mainly to go to sea to fish, the salary is very high, tens of thousands of yuan a month, I didn't even think about it at the time, I directly agreed, not only for this high salary, but also when I was a soldier, I always went to sea, for the ocean, I am still more familiar.

It should be said that I love the sea more, so this work, is a full three years, and then once again in the ocean, our fishing boat encountered the wind Lang, the merciless sea sank our whole boat, counting the boss, the whole boat has a total of more than 20 people, only two people escaped by luck, including me.

The rest of the crew were all buried in the merciless sea, and I and the other surviving sailor, also relying on strong endurance and some luck, waited for the rescue team to arrive, and by the time the two of us were rescued, we were also dying.

Since that day, I have retired from the ranks of sailors, and I have never been to the sea again, although the sea is unforgiving, but it does not frighten me, and after quitting sailing, I still choose to continue to deal with the sea.

Now I'm a diver and I've been doing it for two years, and I'm mainly responsible for salvaging sea cucumbers, which we're called 'fierce men' in our jargon here, and it's not as dangerous as ocean-going sailors, but it's also hard work.

The most important thing about my choice of this profession is that it is because of the high salary, because I need money so much, and for a poor person, if you want to live well in this coastal city, you have to find a way to make more money.

When I arrived at the port on my motorcycle, our small fishing boat had already stopped there, and from a distance, I saw a tall and thin boy waving his hand and greeting me loudly with a smile on his face, "Brother Yi, morning!" ”

His name is Junko, I have known each other for four years, he is the sailor I have been trained by, and the only one, our relationship is very delicate, that is, friends, and master and apprentice, and most importantly, he is also a survivor who survived with me in that shipwreck, I think, if the two of us did not support each other at that time, maybe we would also become a speck of dust in the sea.

From the day we got a new life, this big boy liked to follow me, and when I decided to do 'fierce son', he followed me without hesitation, in his words, wherever I went, he followed, where I was, he felt safe.

Junko is three years younger than me, very tall, can be about 1.9 meters, in my opinion, he is a natural sailor, his physique is similar to that of a professional swimmer, all over his body is keyed meat, coupled with his bronzed skin, and a harmless child's expression, it gives people a very sunny and handsome feeling.

After I parked my motorcycle, I stepped onto the boat, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not as early as you, you're the first to come, right?" "This kid is very active in everything, typical of hormonal overenergy.

Junko nodded with a smile on her face, and Chang Chang shouted loudly at this time, "Okay, let's set off when everyone arrives, it's a good weather today, and you can gain a lot." As he spoke, he started the motor, and the boat slowly left the harbor and headed off into the distance.

Lao Chang is our boss, in the early years he was also a 'fierce son', and he has been doing it for more than ten years, and then he has a little money in his hand, so he went ashore and stopped doing it, and began to do aquatic products trading by himself.

People who live by the sea, in the early years, every household had a 'fierce son', and now there are fewer people doing this business, because this work is not only hard, but also has a certain danger, so those who have a little money have begun to do their own business, like me and Shunzi, two years, a job is two years, in the present is relatively few, most of the old 'fierce sons' have gone ashore, even if they are not the boss, they will not do this job anymore.

The fishing boat stopped after about twenty minutes, and he looked left and right and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

A few of us began to prepare, counting me and the straight, there are a total of four 'fierce sons', the other two are novices, I have only been doing this for more than a month, I took off my coat and began to wear a wetsuit, because it is spring, there is no need to wear a sweater inside, so it can be more convenient.

If you go into the water in November, you must wear a sweater in your wetsuit, otherwise the underwater temperature will freeze people to death, in fact, the most sea cucumber season every year is between October and December, and other time periods belong to the off-season.

Diving during the peak season is really life-threatening, so every year in October, I start to have a headache, it's so fucking sinful, if it's December, my body can freeze after diving.

After I put on the wetsuit, I put on the diving goggles, the fins under my feet, and two net pockets hanging from my waist, this one is used to hold sea cucumbers, and then put the oxygen cylinder on my back to finish the work.

I glanced at Junko, who was already dressed, and he casually tied a paratrooper knife to his calf, looked up at me and said, "Safety first." ”

I smiled and nodded, this kid is so careful every time, this paratrooper knife is still given to him by me, the other two 'fierce sons' are more troublesome than me and Junzi, they have to carry nearly thirty pounds of lead on their backs, so that they can dive with a load, many 'fierce sons' have been doing it for more than ten years, and they can't do without this thing.

I don't need to use Junzi, even if I don't wear a wetsuit, I can still dive, and the lead nugget is a burden to us, and it's weird and heavy.

When everything is ready, we start to move our bodies, the pressure under deep water is too great, after diving, the wetsuit will be close to the body, just like a vacuum, it is very inconvenient to move, and it is tiring to turn the neck.

This can at least play some role, today's sea breeze is not big, quite suitable for diving, if you catch up with the wind when the wind is strong, you don't take the lighting underwater, basically nothing can be seen, a turbidity, that is called depression.

Lao Chang saw that we were all ready, and instructed us, "Brothers, pay attention to safety, loyalty, you take a little extra effort, I will wait for you on the boat." ”

I stretched out my hand to signal, indicating that everything was in order, Junzi gestured to me, I nodded, and then I turned over, and went into the water, and then I heard the sound of the other three people falling into the water, except for our four 'fierce sons', there are only two people left on this boat, Lao Chang and his son, his son is a loser, he can't do anything but pick up girls, and he usually doesn't have anything to say to me.

After getting into the water, I slowly dived all the way to the water with Junko, and the other two fierce men were very fast, this dive itself consumed physical strength, and I don't know why these two buddies are in such a hurry.

Junko and I were next to each other, and there were a lot of small fish and plankton swimming past me along the way of diving, and to be honest, when I first started diving, I was really excited, but after a long time, the novelty was gone.
