Chapter 55: Different Treatment
I've never been out to sea, and it's still night, so I can't tell which way to go out of the sea.
The motorboat drove for a long time, and then stopped halfway, and the black man who drove the boat pulled up the canvas, and under it was a can of gasoline!
I was in a cold sweat! The fat man even leaned on the canvas and smoked just now! It makes me shudder when I think about it!
The fat hand looked indifferent.
After a few hours of refueling, the black man who drove the boat measured his position with an instrument, then glanced at the fat man and said a very strange language.
He didn't speak Chinese, and the fat man looked at him, and then talked to him in that strange language.
My heart moved, and I looked at the black man carefully, and he really didn't look like a Han Chinese.
"Don't look at it, he's Vietnamese." The fat man said lightly: "He has a bad temper, don't look at him all the time." ”
After waiting quietly for a while, our boat stopped on the surface of the sea, and the Vietnamese were a little impatient, and from time to time they said something to the fat man, and the fat man had a leisurely expression.
Finally, there was a faint sound of a motor in the distance, and then a searchlight flashed a few times, and the fat man immediately stood up, took out a large flashlight from under the canvas, and lit it at the other party a few times, all in a strange rhythm, flickering and flickering.
The two sides played the lights for a while, and the fat man nodded and looked back at me: "Sister, your boat has arrived." ”
The big boat stopped, and our motorboat started to approach, and I saw that the boat was not flying any flag, and the hull was a little dilapidated, it seemed to be a large fishing boat, and there were discarded fishing nets and other devices next to the mast.
When the two boats came to a stop, someone on top lowered the rope, and the fat man smiled and said to me, "Let's go up." ”
I picked up the bag that the fat man gave me, thought about it, turned my head to look at the Vietnamese, and said in a very sincere tone, "Thank you." ”
The Vietnamese man looked at me, suddenly a smile appeared on his cold face, and then took something out of his seat and handed it to me.
It's a bottle of mineral water, and it's opened, only half of the bottle.
The fat man glanced at the bottle, then glanced at the Vietnamese with strange eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Sister, he likes you, you can take this thing, maybe it will be useful on the road." ”
I took it suspiciously, and although it was an open mouth, maybe even the mineral water he had drunk, I still carefully put it in my bag.
The fat man accompanied me to the boat.
There were five or six crew members on this boat, all of them with cold faces, I saw that some people even blatantly pinned guns to their waists, and there were several diving devices hanging in the cabin, the fat man laughed and hugged a person, and then pulled me over and introduced: "This, my sister!" ”
The man was very short, very skinny, and actually said Chinese, but it was very non-standard and very stiff: "Your sister...... And you, not like! She's so good-looking, you...! He smiled and made a gesture with his hand, probably describing the gap between me and the fat man.
The fat man smiled, and then he took out an account number from his arms, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number in front of the person, after the phone was connected, the fat man took the mobile phone and handed it to the person, and the person immediately looked serious, listened for a while, showed a satisfied smile, and patted the fat man: "Very good, it's all in the account, you are very creditworthy, and so am I!" ”
He lifted his chin at me: "Go in, you sleep in my room!" ”
The fat man told me another phone call: "When you go ashore, find a place to call this number, and someone will come to pick you up." ”
After doing all this, the fat man patted me goodbye, and before leaving, he held my shoulders with both hands and looked at me with a straight face: "Sister, take care, you must live!" ”
"Hmm!" I nodded.
When I watched him jump off the rope, I was suddenly a little moved and a little reluctant, walked to the side of the boat, and said loudly to him: "Brother Fang, I will come back one day!" ”
The fat man just waved at me and laughed, "Ask yourself if it's worth it before you do anything in the future!" ”
The motorboat departed quickly, and soon departed.
This is a smuggling boat, that is, the legendary snakehead boat, the man who traded with the fat man, is also a Vietnamese, but he seems to have done a lot of business with the fat man, can speak Chinese, his name is even stranger, it is called "Old Snake".
It's only been a day since I came here, and I already know that there are thirty people under the cabin!
This boat used to be a fishing boat...... In fact, it is still now, and it openly belongs to a fishing company in the "Hai Phong City" of Vietnam, and the fishing equipment on the boat is real.
When it is not transporting people, this boat is used for fishing, and when needed, the cabin below is emptied and used to load people!
I didn't go to the cabin below deck, and the old snake didn't go down by themselves, and the crew of the ship lived in the upper cabin, and I lived in the old snake's room, which was said to be the captain's room, which was actually about the size of the toilet at home, a small bed, the sheets were full of fishy smell, and there were tattered nautical charts on the table.
I ate the same food as the crew, all fish food, and a little bit of vegetables every day.
And the people who live under the cabin are also smugglers, I don't see them at all, I don't know what they look like...... They never even stepped up to the deck, for the door to the cabin below was locked all the time.
Only once a day would a crew member bring a small amount of water and food.
I can be sure of it almost just by looking at it...... That little water and food is not enough for thirty people!
But the old snake didn't care, he and I had a small talk, and in his words, it was all human snakes.
"Just starve to death."
It's the same smuggling, and I've had almost the best treatment, I eat the same as the crew, I can get some air on deck every day, and I even smoke cigarettes...... It was a cigarette that the fat man had left in my bag, and although it was a little choking, it was better than nothing, and I smoked one when I was really bored.
I gave a few random packs of cigarettes to Old Snake and his crew, and immediately showed them that my face softened a little.
Because of my cigarette offensive, the crew mostly looked nice to me, and I was able to move around the deck as I pleased, except for one of their locked cabins where I couldn't get in.
And so it went on until the fifth day, and the weather was fine, but it was a little hot.
Standing on the deck, you will see the sea on all sides, and you can't see a single piece of land from any angle.
This feeling will make people feel very, very small, and today there is no wind, the sun is directly on the armor, a little hot, I feel hot when I sit in the cabin, I can't help but go outside, most of the crew are naked, and there are people lazily wiping the armor, the old snake is sitting in the cockpit smoking, his forehead is full of sweat, cursing something in words I don't understand.
There was a fishy smell everywhere on the boat, and although I had gotten used to it for the past few days, I still couldn't stand it when it was so hot, and I only felt a little better when I was ventilated on the deck.
Just then, a crew member walked inside and said something to the old snake.
After listening to this, the old snake was very calm and confessed two sentences...... Then, standing on the bow deck, I saw with my own eyes two crew members walk to the cabin below, and in less than a minute, a man was carried out!
The man did not move, and when he was lifted to the ground, his arms drooped and he seemed unconscious.
Less than seven or eight paces away from me, the two crew members looked indifferent, lifted the man to the side of the boat, and threw him into the sea!
I was stunned!!
The two crew members clapped their hands as if they were unresponsive, even as if they were used to it, and then the two laughed at each other, walked inside, and turned out a bag, opened it and rummaged through the contents.
My heart kept sinking, and I couldn't help but walk quickly to the cabin.
The old snake was also there, I hesitated, and my face was a little grim: "...... just now"
The old snake was watching his men rummage through the bag, but he just picked up his head and looked at me casually: "That person is dead." ”
I took a deep breath: "Yes...... Human snakes? ”
"Yes!" The old snake shrugged his shoulders indifferently and spread his hands: "It's normal for dead people to be dead. ”
At this time, the two crew members who turned over the bag suddenly cheered, and turned out a stack of banknotes from the bag, as well as half a pack of cigarettes, the old snake went over and snatched the banknotes with a blank face, and then took out half of it and threw it into the two crew members, and the rest of himself put it in his arms, as for the half pack of cigarettes, he also took it away, and then the old snake came to me, took out one from the half pack of cigarettes and handed it to me: "Or?" ”
All of a sudden, I felt a little nauseous and wanted to throw up......
Seeing that I didn't mean to answer, the old snake smiled coldly: "What are you afraid of?" He's dead, and there's no need for it, isn't it? ”
Half a pack of cigarettes Old Snake gave to his crew, and then lit one himself.
I didn't speak, just looked at the crew.
But in my mind, I was thinking about the man who had been thrown off the ship...... His identity, age, name, no one knows.
But a big talker, it's gone!!
"What do you want?" The old serpent came to me and said to me, "Dead man...... Normal, a lot of deaths every time. He grinned and pointed to the underside of the cabin: "It's hot above, it's even hotter below!" There was no wind, there was not enough water, and the man was unlucky, so he died. ”
When he smiled, he showed a mouthful of yellow teeth.
The sun was shining on me, but I felt a little cold.
