In about ten minutes, we returned to the shore. A few of us rushed the two injured people to the nearest hospital. The result was just as I thought, the left leg of Mengzi, who was bitten by a shark, was amputated. The doctor even said,
If we had arrived ten minutes later, this person might not have been saved.
The other 'Mengzi' was in good condition, with only one rib fractured and some skin injuries around it. He could recover after a period of rest. However, the shock to his heart was too great and he said he never wanted to do this job again. No wonder
, most people will never forget this kind of thing in their lifetime.
After they stabilized, I bandaged the injured arm, and Shunzi and I left the hospital. The rest was business as usual. We should pay compensation as we should. It had nothing to do with me.
When I just walked out of the hospital, I received a call from Jiao Ba. He asked me to meet at a coffee shop on Haibin Road. I didn't know what this guy wanted to do with me, so I told Shunzi.
, got on the motorcycle and rushed towards Haibin Road.
Jiao Ba was the first friend I made when I came here. He was the one who introduced me to being a sailor. This man is extraordinary. He is one of the few gold-touching captains today. To put it bluntly, he is
He is a grave robber, and not only himself, but his father and grandfather are all in this business. His family has been a grave robber for generations.
He said that his grandfather's grandfather was a famous tomb robber in Guangdong in the late Qing Dynasty. His name was Jiao Si. He was a very legendary figure. It was said that he had a pair of "wind ears" that could listen to wind, rain and thunder.
He is one of the rare people in the world who can find ancient tombs by hearing.
In order to make himself more famous in this industry, Jiao Ba gave himself the name Jiao Ba. This is also his nickname. It is difficult for tomb robbers to hang out these days. The country is too tight.
It's no longer possible to get away with robbing graves, and you might even be caught by the police.
So this guy opened an antique shop on Nanhu Road, specializing in buying and selling antiques from various dynasties. One thing I particularly admire about him is that it doesn’t matter what dynasty it is, as long as it passes through his hands, he can identify it for you.
It comes out, and he can tell whether it is true or false at a glance.
It was a coincidence that I met him. When I first came to this city five years ago, I was running around for work. I met him on the way to find a job. That day Jiao Ba was being arrested by Wu.
Six men with sticks in their hands chased and beat him. I really couldn't bear it, so I rescued him. That's how we became friends.
Later I found out why those people were chasing him. This guy from Qing Dynasty sold a fake from the Qing Dynasty to a local gangster at the price of the genuine article. Later, he was discovered by others, so he sent people to hunt him down.
, this grandson is quite damaged. If I had known that he was beaten because of this, I would not have bothered to save him.
About five minutes later, I arrived at the cafe, parked the car, and walked straight in. Jiao Ba saw me coming and waved to me. With a smile on my face, I walked over and sat down and said, "It's so early.
Are you looking for me?"
Jiao Ba said with a lewd smile, "I can't see you if nothing happens. We haven't seen you for a while."
"If you have something to do, just say it. If nothing happens, I'll leave. I'm busy." It's not because I'm busy, it's mainly because I'm tired. The life-and-death struggle just now consumed a lot of my energy.
When he saw me standing up to leave, he quickly grabbed my arm and said, "Wait a minute, something happened, there must be something happened, let's talk while we eat." He called the waiter, ordered two cups of coffee, and asked for another.
Order something to eat. This grandson rarely entertains guests and is extremely stingy. Why is he so generous today? He must be up to no good, so I didn’t say anything and waited for him to speak first.
After everything was brought up, he took a sip of coffee and said, "Brother, how are you doing lately? Oh, why are you still injured?"
"It's okay, it's a small injury. What can I do? It's still the same, nothing has changed." I answered while eating.
Jiao Ba glanced at me and said, "Brother, I have a job. I wonder if you are interested?"
"If you have anything to do, just say it clearly. Don't beat around the bush and do this with me." Sometimes I get annoyed with him, always doing useless things. Others can stand it, but I can't.
When Jiao Bayi saw that I was losing my temper, he didn't try to show off, and said directly, "Okay, okay, I made it clear that it is like this. Now there is an ocean-going ship that needs to recruit sailors urgently. I feel that you are quite suitable. I think
Recommend you to go there?”
"Are you kidding? It's not like you don't know that I stopped being a sailor a long time ago." This grandson is so ridiculous. He knows that I don't want to be a sailor anymore and he still comes to ask me.
Jiao Badie said cheerfully, "Brother Yi, this time is different. This time as long as you agree to go to sea, you can get this amount every month." He stretched out his hand and gestured. This amount is really quite a lot. Every month
The monthly salary is tens of thousands of yuan. As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. I was really tempted.
"Holy shit, aren't you just hanging out with me? Is this a good thing?" I'm still a little doubtful. For such a high salary, it's probably not available in the whole country.
Jiao Ba said with a serious face, "Don't worry about this. I won't dare to lie to you. I have brought the contract." He opened the document package casually, took out a piece of paper and handed it to me.
I took it over and looked at it carefully. It was indeed a contract, but it was a simple contract. It briefly described the work content and salary. It was indeed quite attractive. I asked with doubts, "Old man, you are so
Is there any benefit to working hard?"
Jiao Ba said with a serious face, "Hey, my sworn brother, what good can I do? I just want you to make more money. You work so hard all day to make so much money. I look at it in my heart
uncomfortable."
I kind of want to laugh, when did this grandson learn to think about others, but one thing is for sure, this thing is absolutely true, he dare not lie to me, under this heavy reward, there must be brave men, with such a high salary, I
There is no reason to refuse. Besides, the ship cannot always sink. In order to live a better life, I have to go, "When will we set off?"
Seeing my attitude, Jiao Ba took out his pen and said, "As long as you sign the contract, we will go to sea next month."
I thought about it and said, "You can go to sea if you want me to, but I have to take someone with me."
"Is it Shunzi? No problem, take him with you." He said in a tone that seemed to understand me very well.
But what he said is right, that is Shunzi. I have become accustomed to working together over the years. The main reason is that Shunzi is bold and careful. Many times, he will think of things for me that I would not think of. I smiled at him and said casually
I picked up a pen and signed the contract, but I didn't know that once I left, it wouldn't be that easy to come back...
