Chapter 143: Seeing and Hearing
Liu Zhiqun opened his mouth, sighed leisurely, and took a breath, he naturally knew that the current conditions at home were really bad.
Since the collapse of the three major families, the shipyard's business has plummeted, and the family is just sitting on empty land without income, thanks to him as a master shipbuilder. In normal times, there are still some savings, so the family can also survive, and change to some other small workers or some other workers, who have already run out of food at this moment.
But even so, if you don't get in the account, sooner or later you will be eaten up and wiped out.
Liu Zhiqun sighed leisurely, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, when his wife suddenly spoke
"By the way, what happened recently, there were many people in the port who heard that they were refugees, and all of these refugees were taken away by the maritime merchants in the port, what is the origin of this sea?"
"I just looked at it, and I heard that many refugees are old and weak prisoners, and even then they are willing to ask for it, could it be human traffickers?"
You say that it is a young and strong young man, but some old and weak women are also not refused, which is really unexpected to him
"Yes, yes, it's really strange, but I've heard that it seems that there is a need to recruit and work on the inland sea, but the location is really overseas, so a large number of people are recruited. He should be afraid of the old and weak, women and children, and no young and strong people want to go over, after all, it is too dangerous to go overseas. ”
Liu Zhiqun muttered to himself, true
If it were him, he would definitely not be willing to go overseas, if it was really a robber's lair, then everyone would be dead, and they wouldn't even know what was going on, and they wouldn't be able to escape.
The wife nodded slightly and smiled
"That's true, but for many people, I'm afraid these refugees don't have any choice, if they stay here, they will starve to death, and if they go to the maritime merchants, they may still have a chance of survival."
In many cases, ordinary people do not have the right to choose, many people say that you can choose, but in fact, the reality forces them to have no choice at all. Even if you know that there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, you have to rush into it in one go, in order to save the only glimmer of hope and chance that survives.
"But I think it's possible that this sea really wants to hire someone, and it's not a pirate."
The wife suddenly spoke
"Oh, wife, why do you think that?"
Liu Zhiqun was stunned for a moment, under normal circumstances, people would wonder if they would encounter pirates, but his wife didn't think so, which was really strange.
"Simple, huh?
The wife whispered
"If you really want to have some kind of conspiracy, you should just talk about that operation, I heard that in the harbor and on this sea, not only did he wash or bathe these refugees, but also gave them new clothes, and opened rooms in the inn for them to live in, even children and old and weak side milk, he spent so much energy, it is impossible just to deceive people"
"With so much money, I believe he should really be hiring someone, not a pirate."
Actually gave the refugees clothes and baths, and gave them a place to live, which was indeed completely different from what he thought, after all, if it was a pirate deception, the most at most would be to gather all the people together, drive them to a ship, and then pull them directly to the sea, and when you get to the sea, even if you find out that something is wrong, you don't have the ability to escape.
In contrast, what is done in the harbor of Haishang City feels less like a pirate and more like a serious merchant
It's in earnest to attract people to think of here. Liu Zhiqun recognized it and muttered to himself
"Could it be that this sea is recruiting?"
He raised his head slightly
"Actually, our shipyard also came and met the sea, and this ship came to our ship on the sea. Did he say he wanted to hire us to build a ship? ”
My wife's eyes lit up when she heard this, as ordinary people, their concept is very simple, if someone asks you for help, you can earn wages, if you have wages, you can buy food, if you buy drink, you can buy food, you can survive.
"Great, your shipbuilding skills are obvious to everyone, and now the shipyard doesn't have much business to receive this big order, it should be enough for our family to survive, right?"
Liu Zhiqun smiled bitterly
That was to say, but he had a request. That's where the shipbuilding is built, it has to be on his side, that is to say to go overseas, and not at our shipyards"
What, the original expression of surprise disappeared in an instant, and his wife's face changed slightly
"Going overseas? It's too dangerous, and if that's the case, then wouldn't it mean that once the past 10 days and half a year have passed, you might not be able to come back, and you must know that building a boat is short."
"Three months to half a year, even if you really want to go overseas, even if it's true, at least half a year won't see each other at all, in this ancient country where transportation is not developed at all, half a year, God knows what will happen, to put it mildly, even if you die overseas, it is estimated that no one knows, not a lot"
Everyone has the courage to go overseas. Liu Zhixiong nodded with a wry smile
"There was nothing wrong with that, so many of us refused, but he said that if we wanted to go, he would be willing to drag his family with him. Drag home with mouth"
The wife was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but she really didn't think that such a thing would happen. Shook his head and said
"Even if that's the case, it's too dangerous, after all, we don't know anything about overseas"
Liu Zhiqun nodded
"It's just that we don't know anything about overseas, anyway, let's think of other ways, can a living person still be suffocated by urine? The family still has some money, and it should be able to support it for a while."
Everyone is good at home, and the foundation at home is still an advantage, but if you want to change to someone else, I am afraid that you will already be poor at this moment.
A large number of ships moved slowly in the harbor of Haishang City, and many refugees were picked up on the ships one after another, and then slowly drove away. Fortunately, compared to the panic and confusion at the beginning, the refugees who changed their clothes and took a shower, and Meimei slept a few times have stabilized their emotions slightly
Although he was still nervous, he finally boarded the ship and sailed out into the vast sea, after all, survival is the most important thing.
The mountain dog sat on the boat, the whole boat was relatively small, many refugees gathered together, they were transported, and not to enjoy the wealth, so the space was relatively small, but I didn't think of the degree of not being able to breathe, I can only say that everyone is crowded here, behind him is his wife and children, and he is tightly protected behind.
There are a lot of people like him, many people seem to have been gathered together, and single people have also been gathered together and classified.
This made the mountain dog's slightly anxious heart relax, what he was most afraid of was to be separated from his wife and children, if he knew that he was really separated, in the vast sea, it would be quite difficult to encounter it again
Fortunately, his wife and children were with him, which relieved his originally anxious heart
"Is this the sea?"
"To be honest, this is the first time we've seen the sea like this, and we didn't expect it to be like this."
Standing on the crew and looking at the endless sea in front of them, I have to say that for people who see the sea for the first time, it is really quite exciting and exciting, and it looks endless, which is something they have never thought of.
"It's the sea, but we don't know if it's right or wrong, and if something happens to you, we're afraid we won't even have a chance to escape."
A few refugees on the side whispered
After all, for them, although they say they believe it, no one knows what will happen if they don't arrive at the location. The heart is also full of apprehension and uneasy words
"That being said, but if you're really so scared, why would you get on board? Or can you stay at sea, as if you can? What if you don't upload it, then it's clear that they have all been expelled by the official uniform, and the government takes the lead, do you think we can still say it's impossible? Can you still not refuse? It's simply impossible."
"If you stay in Haishang City, maybe you will be oppressed by the government, starve to death here, at least you can eat a full meal every day, even if it is porridge, yes, at least you can eat a full meal every day, now we have people on the ship every day to deliver food, although not much, but enough for us to eat, just for these we also have to come, for many refugees, they are not thinking about danger and not danger, thinking about whether they can eat enough"
In troubled times, it is very important to have a bite to eat.
"The most important thing is to be able to eat well
The mountain dog nodded with deep feelings, behind him, there was still half a steamed bun in his wife's arms, which was the dog food distributed every day, he and his wife ate half of it and kept half of it, and the other was for their children
Although the children also have special food rations, for many refugees, food is still preserved, and the devil knows what will happen in the future
There is a Taoist priest who has food in his mouth, and he does not panic in his heart.
The same is true of the rest of the refugees, even if some of them are so panicked and panicked.
But now that they have reached the ship, no matter how chaotic it is, it is useless, they can only go with the flow. Soon several boats were moving slowly for a while, and just as they were drowsy, they saw an exclamation in front of them, and the people who drove the boats shouted
"When you arrive at the station, get up quickly when you get to the station, line up according to the order, don't panic and don't run around"
"Hurry up, what's the stop?"
Chen Zhanghua woke up from a deep sleep, hurriedly pushed his wife and children, and walked out of the port of the boat after sorting out his clothes.
The next moment, his eyes lit up instantly
In front of him was an archipelago that stretched so far and again that it looked like mountains were stacked on top of each other. Even not far away, a number of ships could be seen docked, and their ships were docked at a window
As soon as I got off the boat, I found that there were already a lot of people waiting in front of me, and these people were wearing special clothes, and they looked quite regular. There is no such feeling of ferocity,
Only then did the mountain dog relax
"Great, looks like it's not a pirate here"
There is a saying that I have never eaten a pig run, haven't you seen a pig run? He knew that pirates were dangerous, and that the place where pirates lived must be unusually chaotic, but it was different, it felt like a port, and it was a very good port. Everything was in order, and there was no unexpected panic
This has made the originally nervous mountain cannon many refugees relax, at least now it seems that the pirate den is under the command of one after another to pass on the routine
When they arrived at the archipelago, they had just stepped into the search for the "strong wind, and the broken howling wind came by, which made them feel a little uncomfortable with the sea breeze, and how many people turned their heads to look at the waves hitting the rough stones, showing that they really put the cart before the horse. Away from land."
"Now in this unknown archipelago"
"Hurry up, everyone, come over and sort according to your names, everyone, hurry up."
Someone shouted in front of them, and the mountain dogs lined up cautiously with their wives and children, and when it was their turn, the man in front of him climbed over the ravine
"Will you be a carpenter or will you be a farmer,"
The mountain dog's heart moved and hurriedly said, I can be a carpenter or a farmer, but this is my wife and children, can we live together?
That's what matters most to mountain dogs. The person who came said yes, this is your wife, your children don't live with you, who do they live with?
For families like yours, we have special people on our side to distribute them
Don't worry, someone will take you over in a while, since this is the case, then you can farm, you will take you to the island in the agricultural area, there will be someone to buy you a house, although there are not many houses, but at least you can shelter from the wind and rain, and you can buy your own money in the future, the house is no problem
"Remember, someone will arrange it later, and every month you will be given your salary and work hours because you are working."
The people in front of him talked a lot, listening to the mountain dog's face
There were some doubts and puzzles, but one thing he could know was that he didn't have to be separated from his wife and children, which made him breathe a long sigh of relief.
Like other refugees with families, they are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but they are afraid of being separated from their children and wives. As long as you can live together, it's all worth it
Soon after the assignment was given, the mountain dogs embarked on a small boat led by another group of people. Only then did I find out that all of them were dragged with their families, including wives, children, the elderly, and some old people, who were gathered together, and then drove slowly, and were finally dragged to an island
