I spent the next two days in the cabin, which was attended only by Wick and the brawny man from before, and I heard from Captain Wick that he had ordered that no other crew member of the ship be allowed to enter my room.

Later I learned that the strong man was Wick's engineer and the first mate of the ship, and that there were six crew members on Wick's fishing boat, and that when he rescued me that day, the first mate himself jumped into the sea to catch me.

After rescuing me, only Wick personally checked my bag, originally just to see if he could find some documents about me or something, but as soon as he opened the bag, he froze! Luckily, he and the first mate were the only two people in the room at the time, which means that out of the six crew members, only Captain Wick himself and the first mate knew about such a large sum of money.

The deal I proposed impressed Wick.

Seafarers are adventurous!

I didn't have any injuries on my body, just extremely tired and undernourished, and after a day and a night of rest, and some hot food and hot water, I recovered, although I still felt a little weak, but basically my movements were not affected.

Captain Wick is a typical smiling tiger, and I have seen this from the conversation with him in the past two days, this guy is very cautious and strict, he strictly forbids the crew from contact with me, strictly forbids the crew from entering my room, and also requires me not to go out of the door to the armor.

Obviously, Wick had a lot of authority on this ship, and no one dared to disobey him, and I thought it strange at first...... After all, the crew saw me on the ship and rescued me from the sea with a suspicious appearance, I think in this case, ordinary people will guess my identity, wouldn't those crew members call the police?

Later, I carefully told Wick about my concerns, and Captain Wick smiled, hesitated, and whispered, "Lady Twilight...... (I told him my name during the two days of communication.) ”

"Ms. Twilight...... I can tell you that you are very safe on my boat. Wick smiled mysteriously: "Actually, your smuggling status is not a problem for or my ship. ”

I didn't understand at first, but then I vaguely guessed something!

Especially later, Wick and I told Wick about what happened to me on the black man's boat, but I didn't tell him what they had done with me alone, just what happened to the stowaways on the boat, and told him that I jumped into the sea because the boat was being pursued by the police gunboats......

Wick immediately had an angry expression on his face, and I could see that the anger on his face was not disguised, but really angry!

"Is the hull of the boat you are talking about black...... There was no flag hoisting on it, and the captain was a black man! His men all have guns...... Oh God, I see, that boat you're talking about is that Mardin's bastard! ”

"Mardin?" I glanced at Wick.

"It's that!" Wick cursed angrily, and then he immediately explained, "Lady Twilight, I'm sorry I used the word nigger, I'm not racist, but that Mardin, he's a devil, damn the devil!" ”

Mardin, it's the name of the black man, and I learned the name of the guy I killed.

"He's not just a bastard because of his own misdeeds...... What's more, he's a rule-breaker! Captain Wick explained: "Actually, I think you can understand that in the coastline of any country, there are many underground companies engaged in the business of smuggling, and this business is very profitable, and there are always people who do the business of making money. ”

I nodded in understanding.

Then Wick continued to say angrily: "That Mardin was originally in the smuggling business, but he is unruly!" Even if you are in the smuggling business, you should pay attention to the rules, otherwise, once you lose your reputation, then everyone will have nothing to do! But Mardin, a fool, has done a few black things, and has ruined his reputation, and as a result, the foreign smuggling organizations have no trust in our counterparts in this sea, so that other smuggling companies here are facing a situation where they have no business to do! Mardin is a black sheep! Oh God, I finally remembered this idiom! That's right, it's the black sheep! Wick suddenly became a little happy: "There is another sentence in the Chinese dialect... Well, a mouse's... Broken...... Grace ......"

"A rat poop spoils a pot of porridge." I replied with a smile

"Well, that's it!" Wick immediately nodded and smiled, "Mardin is a rat!" He's done a few things to break the rules, and now the local smuggling organization sees him as a public enemy! He has brought shame to all the smuggling organizations in our seas and has suffered great losses...... Oh, and one more thing... This Mardin, because he couldn't do any smuggling business recently, was later said to have taken his crew to commit a robbery at sea! He's become a pirate! ”

"Sea helmets?"

"Yes, pirates!" Captain Wick said very seriously: "When there is business to do, he is a stowaway, and when there is no business, he is a pirate!" Do you understand what I'm saying? ”

I understand...... And understand more!

Because I looked at Wick's indignant appearance, and suddenly figured it out......

Why did Wick hate that black man so much? Why did he say his crew wouldn't denounce me?

The answer is simple! Because Wick's own boat has also done the smuggling business!!

It's not surprising that fishing boats are in the business of smuggling! Isn't that Vietnamese snake's boat a fishing boat!

"That guy robbed a fishing boat and shot several crew members of a fishing company some time ago, and his actions have caused public outrage, and I guess that the gunboat chasing him is probably the Coast Guard decided to kill him, because the Coast Guard doesn't shoot at stowaways...... But pirates are different! Ha ha! I think that's a good thing! Wick smiled and picked up a cup of coffee: "Cheers to the peace of this sea in the future!" ”

After asking the question I wanted to know, I was finally relieved, and then I cautiously asked, "Captain Wick, when will your ship dock?" ”

"Soon, we'll be ashore early tomorrow morning." Wick smiled: "To be honest, originally my boat was going to stay west to fish, but when I met you, I think you must be in a hurry to go ashore, so I turned around yesterday and changed course." ”

"Thank you." I sighed.

"Oh, it's nothing." Wick smiled slyly, "I didn't catch a fish, but the money you gave me was enough to make up for my loss!" I even thought, with this money, I can sell my current ship and change it to a big one! ”

I was completely relieved.

It seems that this Captain Wick may not be a good man, though...... He also seems to be in the smuggling business, and he is a smiling tiger, but also cunning.

But at least, he's pretty well-behaved! Doing business is also about credibility!

Such a person, I am still very willing to deal with him.

"We're going around the left side of Vancouver Island, and by this time tomorrow, it's time to go ashore and I'll be leaving the boat at the dock in Little Victoria Harbour." Wick said slowly, "I must make it clear, Ms. Twilight, I don't want you to come into contact with my crew before you get off the ship, this is my rule, on my ship, you are my guest, but guests must also obey my rules!" Got it? ”

"Yes, that's fair." I nodded.

"Do you have any questions?" Wick looked at me.

I hesitated for a moment, but finally made up my mind: "Maybe I'm asking too much, but I don't know if you can help me arrange a route to Vancouver before, preferably help me find a car, or something." ”

Wick smiled, and there was a hint of smugness in his smile, and then he patted me the shoulder and said with an exaggerated smile, "Oh, my dear guest! You're so funny! I thought you'd put up with it, but even if you didn't, I'd ask, and that's one of my services...... What's more, if you pay me so much, I will also provide you with the best service! ”

My heart moved, his words were tantamount to implying to me in disguise that he was actually in the smuggling business.

Then Wick laughed, "You're going to Vancouver, aren't you?" Hey, this one isn't that hard! Don't worry, I'll help you arrange a proper route. ”

Wick wasn't lying.

In his words, he was a very reputable businessman, so the next morning, our boat really landed!!

After so many days of life and death struggles at sea, I have rolled all the way on the death line many times, I don't know how many times, I thought my life was over!

And now, I finally see the land again! Saw the ground!

"It's a pity that I can't send you directly to Vancouver, because my ship doesn't have permission to go directly to the port of Vancouver, so I can only send you ashore at the small Victoria port terminal." Wick finally allowed me to step out of the room.

On the first wrench, the crew is busy, putting away the sails, untying the ropes, and so on and so forth.

At this moment, the sea breeze is fierce and gentle, and the waves on the sea are scaly, but unfortunately I will never forget the terrifying side of the sea in my life, and there are many fishing boats moored on the dock that are similar to Wick's boat......

I complied with his instructions and did not go ashore, and at the same time hid in the cabin.

The crew outside was busy, a truck drove up to the dock, first a few uniformed officers or inspectors and the like, went on board to check on them, but Wick easily sent them away, and then, Wick made me wear a dirty crew uniform and a crew hat with a brim, and I coiled my hair in the hat and deliberately lowered the brim, and then the freelancer arranged for me and Mr. First Officer to carry the fish from the boat.

This is a big fish that is one and a half meters long, I and the first mate have a hook, hook the fish to the shore, I was wearing the crew's overalls, dirty, big and big walked past the two inspection policemen, but they were chatting with Wick, they didn't even look at me, I saw Wick smile at me and make a color, with a mouth and a silent smile to me: "Have a good trip!" ”

The rest is pretty simple.

The first mate and I threw the fish in the big basket of the staff on the shore, where someone stuffed the fish with ice and loaded it into the truck, and the first mate and I walked to the side of the truck, and the first mate and the driver chatted a few words, and the two smoked a cigarette.

As soon as the two of them blocked my view, I immediately flew into the car and jumped into the cargo hold in the back.

Five minutes later, the cargo door closed and the car started......

The cargo hold was full of fish, a fishy smell, and ice, and it was cold! I shivered a little from the cold, and kept rubbing my hands, and just when I couldn't help but sigh, I heard the bulkhead in front of me click, and then a small window opened on the other side of the cab, and the driver inside shouted at me, "Welcome to Vancouver, friend!" ”

He speaks Chinese! The driver is also Chinese, and he smiled: "You bear with me for a while, right...... Don't pee in my car, those fish are going to sell for money. ”

He threw a blanket through the window, and then there was a bag and told me, "This bag was given to you by that guy from Wick." ”

Then the window closed and I immediately wrapped the blanket around myself, warmed up a little, and then opened the bag, and there was a set of clothes in it, it was a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, and it looked like it was still a lady's, although it was a little old, but it was very clean, I thought to myself that he didn't have a woman on the ship, could it be his wife's? Forget it, it doesn't matter, I took out my clothes and found that there were stacks of bills on the bottom of the bag.

I know, it's Canadian dollars, I counted it, and it's about a thousand Canadian dollars.

I laughed, anyway, I was grateful to Captain Wick, he wasn't a nice guy, even greedy, but at least a very good businessman.

Although, in a way, he took me two big bags of money, a few millions, and now only gives me a set of clothes and a thousand dollars, but at least, he does everything according to the rules of business! I gave him those two bags of money, and I volunteered.

And this bag of clothes and this thousand dollars, even if he doesn't give it to me, I can't say anything, he does it...... Well, how do you say that......

He may be a greedy bastard, but at least he's a cute bastard.
