Chapter 8 Doing the Job
This man is a white fat man, and he smiles and seems friendly, but I have always felt that this man is not a good bird.
We didn't say anything, but the sailor in the dining room shouted, "Hey, you guys! I saw the second mate, what's wrong? Don't you know how to say sir? ”
I didn't expect this fat white man to be the second mate, that is, the right-hand man of the one-eyed captain. But in connection with the previous events, I suddenly understood, and my heart said that no wonder he dared to speak in front of the captain.
It was inevitable that we would come to the White Shark to have a good relationship with the sailors of this ship, especially their commanders.
There is no need for Tie Jun to remind us, we all smiled with the fat second mate.
The fat second mate was obviously looking for us, and he took a few steps forward, pointed to our stomachs and said, "Have you eaten enough?" I have something for you to do. ”
I looked up at the sky and said to myself, it's all dark, what can't be solved during the day? But I really don't know the routines and operations of this kind of distant-water fishing boat.
The fat second mate looked at my move, and probably thought about what I was thinking. He didn't say much, waved and led us away.
We came to the center of the boat, where there was a row of poles with thick ropes and sails.
The fat second mate casually picked up a rope and said to us, "I saw it just now, the sea is about to have a strong wind, this is a good thing, our ship has to borrow strength, you can come and sail." ”
At this moment, I had mixed feelings, on the one hand, I was thinking, the one-eyed captain was also picky, the stowaway on this boat, the ticket money must be millions, and he is almost so much coal money? On the other hand, we are all novices, and I don't know the bottom of my heart when we come up and sail coldly.
Tie Jun and Big Mouth didn't say anything. Tie Jun nodded after thinking about it. The fat second mate will explain it to us.
I've found that there's a lot to say about this sail system alone. What is the sail, the skew, the square sail and the mainsail, and what is suitable for the crosssail under the wind, what is the wind suitable for the shangman, etc.
I was confused. I also stole a glance at the big mouth, he was even worse than me, he was just dumbfounded.
Tie Jun kept nodding his head and occasionally asking a few questions. The fat second mate was very satisfied with Tie Jun, and as for the two of us, just by the way he looked at us, I knew that the impression was not good.
In the end, the fat second mate sneered and sighed, "No wonder someone can be a broken finger of four beams and eight pillars, and some people can only be a horse boy, it can be seen from the ability to do things, it's really different." ”
I was choked by these words, and my heart said that this rabbit cub was just screaming on the White Shark, otherwise he would have committed some crime and be arrested back to the police station, and Lao Tzu would definitely let him taste my and Big Mouth's "ability to do things".
But I didn't say much. After the fat second mate said everything that should be said, he asked us to have an actual drill again.
There was no wind yet, so he stood next to him, saying that the wind was coming, and so simulated. The first to take the field was the Iron Army.
Tie Jun, like a veteran, is very skilled in doing a series of movements. In the end, when I saw the fat second mate, I couldn't help but praise it. He also deliberately leaned over and patted Tie Jun on the shoulder.
I always think he is weird, especially the eyes that are revealed at that moment, which are incomprehensible.
Next it was my turn and Big Mouth. As soon as my brothers discussed, let's go together, and they both said that the three stinkers had competed against Zhuge Liang, and the two of us cooperated together, and we might be able to deal with the drill.
When the fat second mate spoke just now, he mentioned it a few times, no matter how you move the rope, you must let the rope wrap around the pole. Big Mouth and I listened to it, but we didn't think anything was there.
As soon as we were ready, we unloaded the rope. Shake it in your hand together. The fat second officer narrowed his eyes and turned his head to look into the distance.
He must have observed something, and suddenly sneered. What do I mean by this?
But before the fat second mate could say anything, a gust of wind blew. Although the sails on the pole were not fully opened, they were also affected by the wind.
The whole sail was a little puffed up, and in the blink of an eye, the rope in my hands and Big Mouth was whizzing, still out of control.
The force from the rope was so great that Big Mouth and I couldn't hold it at all, and when we were brought around like this, we both wow and fell to the ground together.
Let's just talk about me, like a mop, carried by a rope and dragged up the deck with a sneer.
If no one helps us and we are carried away by a rope for a while, I'm probably going to go out of the boat. This is very dangerous.
Tie Jun struck in time, and instead of rushing to me and Big Mouth to save us, he fiddled with the sails.
I don't have time to look at it, and I can't understand the specific cats that the Iron Army is fiddling with, anyway, a few sails have been adjusted, and the wind has been shared, and Big Mouth and I can struggle to control the rope.
We struggled to get up and honestly wrapped the rope around the pole.
In retrospect, I realized that the fat second mate was really not a thing. The fat second mate was also reasonable, and said coldly to the two of us, "Eat a trench and grow wise, and be smart in the future." ”
Then he left us here and left. According to him, the wind may not stop until midnight tonight, and we will work until midnight and then go back to sleep.
Big Mouth and I didn't get used to it at first, but we were taught some by Tie Jun, and we all eased up a lot, and after working so busy for an hour, I found that it was not too difficult for any of us to sail alone.
We discussed and took turns to fight, and while one person sailed, the other two sat next to each other and rested.
It's just that it's windy here, and we're a little choking. I was still thinking about catching loaches, and by this time, most of the stowaways had returned to the cabin.
I suggested to Tie Jun that we should draw someone and sneak back to find clues.
The big mouth answered in agreement, but he also hiccuped when he answered, and then rubbed his stomach uncomfortably and scolded.
Tie Jun was relatively thoughtful, and said to the two of us, "Don't rush this time, just wait." ”
We continued to work so hard that it wasn't long before a bald head appeared, who was also a stowaway, and came straight for us.
We all looked at him in amazement, and I couldn't help but sneak a peek at his feet. At this moment, there was an urge to lift his feet.
After getting closer, Big Mouth asked first, "Dude, is there something?" ”
The bald head took out an embarrassed and jerky posture and replied, "I have something I want to ask, can you do me a favor?" His last sentence was addressed to Tie Jun.
Tie Jun hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
The bald head took out an inconvenient posture again, pointed to a cabin in the distance, and asked if they could go there together.
I'm very sensitive, and I said in my heart that this kid won't be bad for the Iron Army, right? But I thought about it again, the Iron Army is good, and if it really wants to fight, it won't suffer.
Tie Jun also gestured to me and Big Mouth, so that the two of us could sail with peace of mind. He walked away with the bald head.
In this way, it is just me and Big Mouth. We don't have any nonsense, we just work hard. After a quarter of an hour, a sailor appeared, looking in the direction of the entrance to the deck.
When he saw me and Big Mouth, he snorted and asked us both, "What about the other guys?" What's going on? Lazy? ”
I explained, although I don't know the name of the bald head, but as soon as I say the bald head, the sailor has an impression of this man. After listening to this, he scolded and said that the kid was not in tune in the first place, why did he come to disturb others to work this time?
I didn't go any further, but I said that as long as the sailor knew what was going on.
The two of us had a friendship with him again, and even rubbed him two cigarettes. He left.
It didn't take long for Tie Jun to come back, and I saw Tie Jun with a puzzled expression on his face, and I asked him what was wrong?
He said that the bald head was nothing serious, so he asked him some things to be bandits, and boasted a few words, saying that they would take care of each other in the future.
After listening to it, I also wondered, when did I say this in my heart, I had to run over in the middle of the night to make friends?
Tie Jun didn't think much about it, and we continued. But less than half an hour later, the sirens suddenly sounded on the White Shark.
I was shocked, I didn't know what was wrong. We stopped sailing, and soon sailors came running up to us, pointing at us and shouting, "Let's meet at the restaurant, there's an emergency." ”
We put away the sails. By the time we arrived at the restaurant, there were already quite a few people gathered here, including all the stowaways and some of the crew, including the one-eyed captain.
Captain One-Eyed was sitting at a dining table, and in front of him was a bowl with a large lump of white stuff in it. I guess it's an animal's brain, and the one-eyed captain isn't disgusting, and he's using a small dagger to cut off a small piece of the brain and send it to his mouth.
He munched on it, and occasionally a stream of white soup appeared from the corner of his mouth. And the others stood dry, looking at Captain One-Eyed.
The one-eyed captain ate in silence for a while, and a sailor came in from outside, holding a package, and when he spread it out on the table in front of the one-eyed captain, I saw that there were some miscellaneous items, including a wooden comb, a purse, a small knife, and even a few packets of beef jerky and a snuff bottle.
The one-eyed captain picked up the snuffbox, sniffed it greedily, and picked it up. After that, he stared at us with a fierce light and said, "Just now, several guests reported that they had lost something, and these are the lost items that were recovered." Do you want to know, where did you find it? When he said this, he stared at us deliberately.
I said to myself, what does he think of us like this? We've been sailing, and it's not that we've stolen it.
At this time, the others also looked at us with a more or less strange look.
The one-eyed captain suddenly laughed evilly, slammed the table and said, "There is a thief on my ship, and he even steals my treasure, he is too bold!" Don't be silent, these lost items have been found in the meadow of your bed, how can you explain it? ”
My head buzzed, and I understood. One word comes to mind, framing the blame.
I looked at the smugglers and wondered which of the guys was targeting us like this. I'm thinking of Babyface, the serial killer with the hammer.
I'm trying to figure out how to paraphrase him. The one-eyed captain asked another sailor, "You told me just now that one of them disappeared while they were sailing?" ”
The sailor nodded affirmatively, but no more.
I said in my heart, this guy can die if he helps explain more? I couldn't do anything, so I pointed at Tie Jun and said, "My eldest brother walked with a bald head, and the bald head said that he had something to say about his eldest brother." ”
I pointed to the bald head standing in the crowd again.
Who knew that the bald head looked surprised after hearing this, and immediately defended, "New here, just kidding your mother, Lao Tzu has been burning coal in the boiler room, and these brothers can testify." ”
He pointed to a few more people around him. The men immediately nodded.
It suddenly dawned on me that things were getting tricky.
