Among the crew members, the short man was the only one who could speak Chinese. Ling Jie watched the ghost hand disappear at the end of the waves from the bow, then turned around and smiled at the short man. The short man seemed to hear
Understanding something, "Gui Shou has told me that you have four companions on this boat."
When he heard this, Ling Jie was shocked, because Guishou had never told him the whereabouts of his companions. It turned out that he had arranged everything long ago, "Excuse me, can I go see them now?"
In this completely unfamiliar situation, Ling Jie behaved very politely. In fact, Ling Jie is a very polite and knowledgeable person at heart. He has always been relatively humble, but he also has the great responsibility of Ninth Brother, as the eldest brother of tens of thousands of people.
, sometimes you have to hide your humble side and show everyone your iron-blooded and ruthless side.
"Of course. Come with me." The short man's face looked better than before. He probably knew that Guishou was a trustworthy person and paid expensive funds.
Ling Jie nodded, and then followed behind the short man. Ling Jie saw that he was holding the edge of the ship, from the bow to the stern, with crew members walking back and forth along the way to prevent any damage or leakage.
The dwarf stopped at the end of the line and said, "My name is Xiaolang, and I am the assistant captain here. I see that you are older than me, so you might as well call me Xiaolang."
Ling Jie noticed that Chaizi was still very unfamiliar when he first spoke Chinese, but now he was very fluent, "Okay, Xiao Lang, how long will we drift on the sea?"
The dwarf frowned, "If we don't encounter patrolling navy, a month will be enough."
One month is enough.
Oh my god, it actually takes a month. Ling Jie really can't imagine that it actually takes a month to travel from South China to the United States. Of course, because it is a stowaway ship, we can only avoid the big routes and take small routes, which requires a lot of walking.
detour.
Ling Jie still forced a smile to express his gratitude. The short man walked into a dark passage. The passage was very dark. The street lights next to it were far apart from each other, so it was difficult to see the road inside clearly. But at least he had entered the inside of the ship.
Xiao Lang reminded as he walked, "Many stowaway boats will encounter the navy on the way. If this happens, we will be doomed."
Ling Jie was a little confused, "Will the navy shoot directly?"
A mocking smile flashed across Xiaolang's face, "Not only that, usually at this time, the navy fires cannons directly at the ferry, and the ferry will be sunk."
Ling Jie's heart skipped a beat. He had already thought of it without asking. In places without governments overseas, strength is the standard of speech. Xiaolang glanced at Ling Jie, but didn't notice any change in Ling Jie's expression. He felt slightly
Somewhat unexpectedly, "Aren't you worried that we will encounter the navy or pirates or something?"
Ling Jie smiled calmly, he had never seen anything, let alone navy pirates. Even a general like Han Ping with hundreds of thousands of soldiers was fucked by Ling Jie, "What's the use of worrying. People.
In this life, there are some things that cannot be avoided. Whether you are worried or believe in yourself, in short, it is enough to try your best to change."
Xiaolang was startled and said, "You are the most special stowaway I have ever seen. Most stowaways are most afraid of encountering pirates. As soon as I mentioned pirates in front of them, their faces all turned pale."
But you are different, and I think what you said makes sense. You must be no ordinary person."
Ling Jie smiled bitterly and said, "I just died a few more times than them without succeeding. You must have been in the smuggling business for some years."
Xiaolang smiled, "How did you see that? I started doing this business when I was sixteen. It has been ten years now."
Ling Jie said, "I feel that you are very different from the other crew members. You are very experienced and do things very neatly. You can tell that you are a veteran at a glance."
Xiao Lang was originally a very serious person, but chatting with Ling Jie today made him feel very happy, "What should I call you?"
"My...name is Ling Jie." Ling Jie hesitated for a moment, but thought that he would be leaving China soon, and it would be okay if his identity was leaked. Now that the country has canceled the fatwa against him, what else?
, his physical files have been burned, which means that he is not bound by any laws in the world. There is no evidence to prove that he is Ling Jie!
The only one who wants to take his own life is Han Ping!
"Hello. My name is Ha De Lang. I am Vietnamese. Nice to meet you." Xiao Lang extended his right hand respectfully. Obviously, Ling Jie aroused his interest. He thought that Ling Jie was a person.
It's worth making friends.
Naturally, Ling Jie didn't care about having another crew friend on the ferry. He happily extended his hand and shook it, "I'm Ling Jie, and I'm also very happy to meet you. After we shook hands, we became friends, right?"
"Haha, of course, I am the assistant captain of this ship. Apart from the captain Honda Kuroko, I am the boss. If you need help, please tell me. I really hope I can do something for my friends.
"Ha Delang said to Ling Jie enthusiastically.
Ling Jie could feel Xiao Lang's enthusiasm coming from deep inside, and immediately said, "I also hope I can help you with something. Please let me know if you need any physical strength."
"Ling Jie, you are so interesting." Xiao Lang pointed to a door in front and said, "Your four friends are inside, you go in."
Ling Jie was a little strange, four friends? Aren't they Chen Zhen, Chen Qiang, and Sun Qiang who came with him? Where did the four come from?
It was a dark and heavy wooden door, about two meters high, a little short, and unlocked. There were a lot of dirty things on the door, and it looked particularly shabby. Just when Ling Jie was about to push the door open, he
Suddenly he turned around and smiled at Xiaolang, "The person inside is my friend, and you are also my friend. Come in together. I will introduce you to you."
Xiaolang smiled and shook his head, "No, I went in just now and they... didn't seem to welcome me. I'll introduce them next time I have a chance."
Ling Jie didn't force himself and nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll go in first, Xiaolang, thank you."
"You're welcome. I wish you a safe journey. If necessary, I will send someone to call you. Just rest inside and have a good rest. Your room is at the bow of the ship." After Xiao Lang finished speaking, he waved to Ling Jie, then turned around and left in a big stride.
Ling Jie didn't know what to say, so he opened the door and walked in.
"Ci..." The sound of closing the door sounded crisply in the corridor. Xiaolang stopped and turned around to look at the closed door.
He is an outstanding sailor, and it can be seen at a glance that Ling Jie's identity is absolutely terrifying!
This is the only ferry to the United States in South China City. The number of people who can get on this ferry is unusual. Moreover, there are only three luxury suites on the ferry. Ling Jie and his friends asked for two of them, and the price was five
One hundred thousand U.S. dollars, and the ghost hand just now could actually directly order the navy of the South China border defense to release...
Such an identity makes Xiao Lang feel a little scared. However, it goes without saying that he has been a sailor for ten years, and his skills are ruthless. He became the deputy captain in his twenties, so it is not difficult to guess who he is.
He is a cruel and ruthless person.
After watching for a while in the corridor, Xiaolang finally shook his head, smiled, and turned away...
…
The moment Ling Jie walked through the door, he saw four people sitting around the coffee table in the hall playing cards. The game was quite lively, and no one noticed that he had entered the room.
These four people are clearly Chen Zhen, Chen Qiang, Sun Qiang, and a woman - Xuanwu. Xuanwu is Wang Xiaoman.
These four guys were having a great time playing cards, laughing happily and completely ignoring Ling Jie's presence. The card game these four guys were playing seemed to be called - Tractor.
I believe it goes without saying that people born in the 1980s and 1990s know very well that the tractor card method is still relatively popular.
Ling Jie took a look and saw that the situation was roughly like this - Sun Qiang and Chen Qiang's family, Wang Xiaoman and Chen Zhen's family. Now it was Sun Qiang's village. Wang Xiaoman sorted the cards. The order of playing cards was Chen Zhen, Sun Qiang, Wang Xiaoman, Chen Qiang...
…
Chen Zhen threw out two kings of hearts and said righteously, "A pair of kings of hearts. Haha, Sister Xiaoman, you can give me points if you can, as long as you can."
Sun Qiang crossed the two cards and looked at them in disbelief, "Wow, Chen Zhen, you are so stupid. You actually have a king of hearts and a king. Damn... you are so lucky."
Sun Qiang reluctantly shot down a pair of ten of hearts and was caught.
Chen Zhen was so happy that he quickly grabbed his two kings and Sun Qiang's two ten's, and put them on the hole cards, "It's been dealt, Miss Xiaoman, let me count it, one, ten, twenty... still not enough
Twenty points will make you eighty, throw down twenty points quickly, you have to throw it down until you die, otherwise you will have no chance when that guy Chen Qiang gets angry."
Wang Xiaoman saw that there was only a five left in the hearts in his hand, and he reluctantly took out a king and a ten from the spades, and then threw it out, "Twenty points, just right."
According to the rules, Wang Xiaoman must play the Five of Hearts before he can replace it with other cards. This is called playing rogue.
Chen Zhen picked up the cards played by Wang Xiaoman and put them on the low cards, "Haha, it's eighty points, it's full, it's full... I finally won a game, haha..."
Chen Qiang's face turned the color of pig liver with anger, and he was very reluctant. While banging the table, he said, "It's not like that, a pair of k's accumulated sixty points. This is too exaggerated."
Ling Jie, who was standing behind Wang Xiaoman, saw everything. He walked quietly behind Wang Xiaoman, quickly took out Wang Xiaoman's five of hearts, and waved it in front of everyone, "She
Cheating."
"Ah, Sister Xiaoman, you are dishonest..." Chen Qiang pointed at Wang Xiaoman and said with a half smile.
Chen Zhen sighed greatly, "Hey, I'm probably going to lose this game again."
Sun Qiang was very happy, "I'm just saying, how could things be such a coincidence?"
After saying that, the atmosphere on the field suddenly cooled down. After a few seconds, everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Ling Jie, and they all shouted out, "Brother Ninth!"
Chen Zhen's reaction was the smartest. He immediately stood up and made room for Ling Jie, "Brother Ninth, we missed you so much. We thought you had done something wrong."
Ling Jie sat down unceremoniously and glared at Chen Zhen, "Really? I see you are playing cards very well, how can you have time to worry about my life and death?"
Everyone defended themselves, "Brother Ninth, it's true. We are all so worried about you. You were arranged here by a man named Guishou, and he asked us to wait for you in the room..."
Chen Qiang winked at Chen Zhen repeatedly, "We have only played a few games of cards. Chen Zhen, put the cards away quickly."
Chen Zhen was about to reach out to collect the cards, but his hand was grabbed by Ling Jie, "Chen Zhen, count me in, let's play together..."
Ling Jie's words shocked everyone. Just now, Ling Jie blamed everyone for not missing him because they were playing cards, but now he suddenly said that he was coming too...
…
At about noon, Ling Jie bid farewell to the battlefield with an astonishing score of thirty-nine losses and zero wins. Chen Zhen poured a glass of hot water for Ling Jie and said, "Brother Ninth, don't take it too seriously. Victory or defeat is a common thing in the military. You don't have to be too complacent."
In my heart."
Chen Qiang also came over to comfort him, "Yes, Chen Zhen is right, winning or losing is a common thing for military officers."
Sun Qiang also nodded in agreement. Wang Xiaoman was wearing a very fashionable dress today, a silver smooth dress, a snow-colored belt around her waist, a beautiful long knot on her chest, and a ribbon hanging down, very sexy.
.The white lace inner edge was exposed from the knee-length skirt, which looked very dazzling. Her hair just passed her shoulders and fell from the edge, giving it a somewhat elegant feeling.
She walked over and felt that everyone was looking at her strangely, probably hoping that he would also say something to comfort Ling Jie.
Wang Xiaoman frowned, "What are you looking at? Ling Jie and I are from the same family, and my results are also thirty-nine losses and zero wins."
Chen Qiang and others suddenly realized, "So you also..."
Ling Jie took Chen Zhen's boiled water, which was not particularly refreshing, and took a sip, "It's common for military officers to win or lose, but I have never won, and you really don't know how to let me give in."
…”
To be honest, losing thirty-nine games in a row really made Ling Jie feel very unhappy. How much he wanted to win one or two games, but every time the cards he got were small, broken cards that were not rubbish, what about three or four?
, five, six, seven, eight, ninety... Most of them came to Ling Jie, and they were not in a pair, and there was no tractor to speak of. The most terrifying thing was that Ling Jie never touched a picture with a picture in more than ten games in a row.
Card……
It's not that Chen Qiang and Sun Qiang didn't think about letting Ling Jie win, but they had already played their cards to the worst, and the result was still...who can blame them? The atmosphere on the court was a little awkward for a while.
"Haha, but that's okay. There is an old saying, every gain must be accompanied by a loss. I lost thirty-nine games in a row today. This is a loss. Guess what my 'gain' is?" Ling
Jie suddenly laughed and said. Then he thought about it, losing thirty-nine games in a row was nothing, it was just entertainment.
Everyone shook their heads together. Ling Jie was becoming more and more incredible recently.
Ling Jie smiled, pointed at Wang Xiaoman and said, "God gave me another lucky general today, Xuanwu, how did you get on this ship? I haven't seen you for five years since we last said goodbye in Guangzhou.
Woolen cloth."
"I thought it was time to come, so I came. Five years have passed, and I also want to see if the legendary Ninth Brother has become more handsome." Wang Xiaman said with a relaxed smile.
"Then take a good look now, have I become more handsome?" Ling Jie asked with a smile.
Wang Xiaoman looked at it carefully, and finally said, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
"What? There are different aspects of being handsome?"
Wang Xiaoman smiled and said, "That's natural. There are many kinds of handsome people in this world, such as 'crickets' and 'rise and fall'..."
…
The days at sea are very calm. The only company around you every day is the sound of turbulent waves and the sound of wind. If you are lucky, you can also encounter seagulls. Seagulls generally only appear near the land or small islands.
Two days later in the afternoon, Ling Jie saw a large number of seagulls on the bow of the ship. Ling Jie knew that there must be land near here. When sailing on the endless sea, if you can see a land, even a small island or even a reef,
, that is definitely a very exciting thing.
Ling Jie suddenly turned around and searched among several crew members. Finally, he saw Xiao Lang standing not far away. Ling Jie walked over curiously, "Hey, Xiao Lang. Look, there are a lot of seagulls in front of you.
Does this mean we are about to encounter land?"
Xiao Lang looked far away and pointed with his paper at the confused sea fog in front of him, "That's the Ryukyu Islands. After passing the Ryukyu Islands, we crossed the land of Japan and entered the Pacific Ocean."
"Ryukyu Islands? Are you saying that our current position is forcing us into Japanese waters?" When he heard the word "Japan", Ling Jie's heart skipped a beat. This was a completely instinctive reaction. Maybe Ling Jie was affected by it when he was very young.
Influences came from all aspects. The Chinese have always hated Japan. The eight-year war of resistance left a deep impression on the Chinese people. Ling Jie took the initiative to learn about this period of history, and his views were a little different from other people's.
When Japan invaded China, it was indeed too cruel to implement the Sanguang policy on the country. They were inhumane, unconscionable, and devoid of humanity. The Nanjing massacre shocked China and the world. The imprint left on Ling Jie by his massacre in Nanjing is still so profound to this day. Under the iron cavalry of Japan
, the people of the country suffered a lot of humiliation and pain. Ling Jie vowed that he would be strong in the future and make the Japanese rulers regret the crimes they committed in China.
It is an indisputable fact to hate Japan. However, Ling Jie believes that many people have not deeply thought that when Japan invaded China, although the Japanese were hateful, in the final analysis, it was the ignorance, weakness and greed of the people that caused all that and backwardness.
You will be beaten. This is a law of nature and an eternal law!
Ling Jie has warned people who hate Japan countless times - instead of making comments and criticizing other people's crimes, it is better to spend time to make yourself stronger. When you are strong, others will not dare to touch you.
Let me tell you, only when you are strong can you launch the most powerful counterattack and bully Japan!
Compared with hating the Japanese, Ling Jie hates those people who only know how to post comments and criticize Japan all day long but do not take action or think about ways to become stronger. Such people are the most disgusting! A person should not
If you only look for reasons in others, you should look for more reasons in yourself.
It is difficult to change others, but you can change yourself and use yourself to influence others.
Xiaolang said, "Yes, if the voyage goes well, you can enter the Pacific Ocean through the Ryukyu Islands in one day, but there are many pirates in this area, and robberies often occur. Haha, Japanese pirates are much more vicious than Caribbean pirates, so you'd better pray that you don't
If we encounter Japanese pirates, it will really be a great misfortune for us. In addition to Japanese pirates, there is also the Japanese navy. Once we are encountered by the navy, our situation will be even more dangerous, and we may be directly attacked.
Bombarded into cannon fodder."
There was still no change in the expression on Ling Jie's face. In his opinion, even if he encountered the navy, he could still protect himself. There was no need to worry too much about his life or death. What he was worried about was if the ferry was sunk by the Japanese navy.
, then in what month and year will I be able to arrive in the United States...
Xiao Langchong waved to Ling Jie, "Ling Jie, don't worry too much. It's the deep winter season now. Japanese pirates and navy rarely show up. The weather is too cold and many shallow water areas are frozen, which is not very conducive to shipping."
."
Ling Jie suddenly realized that although Xiaolang was young, he did know a lot. Ling Jie nodded, "You are really thoughtful."
After listening to Xiao Lang's narration, Ling Jie felt that encountering pirates was almost inevitable. Because the pirates would definitely catch Xiao Lang's mentality, and if they attacked in winter, they would definitely get a bumper harvest. According to Xiao Lang, many smuggling ferries
They all sail in winter, so if the pirates attack at this time, they will definitely be able to hit...
If he were a pirate, he would definitely choose to go to sea in winter. And if he was a ferry crew member, Ling Jie would definitely choose to go to sea in summer. At that time, not only would the sea lanes be smooth, but pirate activities would be rare and it would be safer...
When it comes to one thing, most people use linear thinking to think about it, but few people use linear thinking.
For example, a certain company's stock rose crazily during a certain period, and most people rushed to buy the stock. This is a manifestation of straight-line thinking.
If you switch to linear thinking, it is not difficult to know that the development of things always advances in waves and spirals. There must be a peak before the trough, and there must be a trough after the peak. After the stock skyrockets, large numbers of people flock to the market, and there will inevitably be
causing stocks to depreciate…
People who really know how to trade stocks usually buy stocks that are not prosperous at low prices and sell them at high prices when the stocks are prosperous, earning a huge price difference!
People who know how to trade in stocks will not stick to one stock. They buy it when the price is low and sell it when the price is high... After earning the price difference, they buy another low-priced stock and wait for the price to rise before selling it.
out……
Ling Jie's thinking is linear thinking, and it is extremely advanced linear thinking, which enables him to always be one step ahead and one step ahead of others.
Ling Jie's prediction was absolutely correct. While everyone was having dinner, a crew member rushed over and told Xiaolang, "Our ship ran aground. We don't know whether it hit the ice or hit a rock."
Xiaolang was shocked, "Hurry up and organize the crew to disembark for inspection. We must find out the cause of the matter in the shortest possible time. This is the core area of Ryukyu Island. If we stay here for one more minute, we will be in greater danger."
The crew member rushed down immediately.
Ling Jie, who was standing next to him, sneered after hearing this. He had a premonition that the ship neither hit the rocks nor hit the ice... but encountered pirates.
