After the big boat stopped next to us, Lao Wu looked at us from above and shouted, "How are you friends? Welcome back."
I looked up at him from the sea, waved and shouted, "Old Wu, do you still have cigarettes? Prepare some for me." I remembered the first time I asked him for cigarettes, as if it happened yesterday.
"Mr. Jin, the cigarettes have been prepared for you a long time ago and are just waiting for you to get on the boat." Old Wu shouted with a smile. This middle-aged man still made people feel so close.
We then climbed up the lifeladder to the ship one by one. I was the last one to go up. Only when I got up did I see that everyone else was lying on the deck. They were all so tired that they could hardly survive.
It is also very comfortable to bask in the sun on the deck.
Lao Wu came over at this time, he stretched out his hand to me, and I quickly stretched out my hand. The two of us shook hands. Lao Wu said excitedly, "Great, Mr. Jin, I finally found you. I see you again."
When I come back, I feel at ease."
I smiled and said, "What? Are you anxious about waiting?"
"Yeah, I can't contact you either. If the ice here hadn't suddenly melted, I wouldn't have known what to do. Thank God. I can feel relieved to see that you and the captain are safe."
Lao Wu tightened my hand hard.
I patted his arm and said, "Thank you, Old Wu. If you hadn't arrived in time, we might have said goodbye forever."
The big man and the steamed bun also came over to me at this moment, and we hugged each other. During these days in Bingcheng, I was really not used to them without their company.
"I'm not used to being without you two, especially the big guy. I miss you so much." I pointed at him and said with a smile.
The big man laughed loudly, "What else can I say? The cooperation between the two of us is perfect."
"And me, the three of us work together perfectly." Steamed Bun grinned widely and said with a smile.
Mai Lao stood up and said, "Okay, let's not talk about old times now. Those who are injured should be treated as soon as possible, and those who are not injured should rest as soon as possible. We will wait until tomorrow to discuss everything. There is nothing to do today. You must rest, Lao Wu.
Please prepare some food for us, we are all starving." Even after boarding the ship, Mr. Mai is still the leader. It seems that Martin's status as captain is really not guaranteed.
Lao Wu nodded and said, "Okay, I will make arrangements right away. Mr. Mai, you guys take a rest first."....
We then all treated the wounds. The equipment on the boat was very complete, almost everything we needed. Jenny and Martin’s leg injuries were also re-bandaged. They are no longer serious. We also took off our cold-proof clothes and simply washed them.
I took a shower and put on new clothes. It was really comfortable. The danger was finally lifted and we could have a good rest for the time being.
I was lying on the bed in the rest cabin, feeling this true happiness. For me now, this is a kind of enjoyment. Heaven on earth is nothing more than this. It seems that every time I crawl back from the line of death, I feel less and less interested in life.
The desire becomes stronger, and I cherish everything I have now more. Nothing is more precious than life. As long as a person is alive, there is hope for everything.
Except for Mr. Mai, everyone else is in the rest cabin. Martin and Shaoyu are in another rest cabin. This rest cabin is all ours, except of course the two beauties Li Xin and Jenny, who are alone.
In a better rest cabin, it is much better than ours, but overall, the equipment on Martin's boat is still good. Our rest cabin didn't feel that good before, but now it seems that it is really good.
Oh, so perfect.
"Brother Yi, what are you thinking about?" Jiao Ba lay on the bed next to me and asked me sideways.
"It's nothing, just imagining." I looked at the bed board on the upper bunk, my eyes a little dull.
Jiao Ba turned over and said to me, "Do you feel that this kind of life is very comfortable? Is it simply a kind of enjoyment?"
I glanced at him sideways and said, "Yes, I am enjoying it. I like this feeling."
"This is the effect after comparison. We have suffered so much before, and now we can lie here in peace. It is indeed a blessing." Chang Shan's voice came from the innermost place.
At this time, the snoring of the big man and the steamed bun started to sound louder and louder than the other. Jiao Ba said helplessly, "Damn, these two grandsons haven't even had a minute yet.
Just fell asleep."
Shunzi walked out of the bathroom at this time. He kept looking at me. I smiled and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I've never seen him before?"
He walked over to my bed and sat down, and said a little awkwardly, "Brother, when we were on the ancient ship, I... I said some things that I shouldn't have said. You must not take it to heart. Then...
..That’s not what I wanted to say.”
I patted his arm, looked at him and said, "I know, you don't have to think too much, we are brothers, it's okay." In fact, I knew very well that although the power of the ancient ship controlled his mind, it was also because of him
Only if you have this kind of thinking will you be controlled. It is just amplifying this kind of thinking.
"You really didn't blame me?" Shunzi looked at me and asked timidly.
"Shunzi, don't think too much. Brother Yi won't blame you. He almost killed you." Jiao Ba lit a cigarette and said something very unpleasant. He really couldn't boil the pot.
Which pot should I carry?
"Kill me? Why?" Shunzi asked without understanding.
"Don't you remember?" I looked at him and asked.
Shunzi shook her head slowly, "I...I don't remember. I always feel like I have forgotten something. My memory is very confusing."
I don’t know if he really forgot or if he pretended to forget in front of me on purpose. I squeezed his hand and said, "It’s best to forget. Some things shouldn’t be remembered. As long as you remember that we are buddies and brothers."
Already."
"Well, you will always be my big brother." Shunzi looked at me and said seriously.
Jiao Ba shivered next to him, "Oh, it's so cold and numb."
"Fuck you, uncle." I scolded him with a smile.
At this time, the cabin door was opened, and Mai Lao stood at the door and said, "Everyone, get up, go eat first, and then rest after eating."
Lao Wu prepared sumptuous food for us. During our stay in Bingcheng, all we ate was compressed dry food. It had been a while since we had decent food. The smell of delicious food in the restaurant almost made my mouth water.
.
The only thing that makes me dissatisfied is that it’s still Western food, steak, pizza, and some desserts. I don’t even remember how long it’s been since I’ve had Chinese food. I really miss the taste of Chinese food, especially in my hometown in Northeast China.
The feeling of the dish.
The big man and the others simply devoured the steak like famine victims. They didn't even need to cut the steak with a knife. They grabbed it with their hands and put it directly into their mouths. And it wasn't just him, the steamed buns and Laoshui, including Shunzi.
It's almost the same, everyone is starving, and the life in the ice city is simply not a human life. I just eat in silence and fill my stomach first.
"Everyone eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, there is plenty of food." Lao Wu said with some distress after seeing how we were eating.
The big man quickly finished the steak on the plate. He raised his head and asked, "Old Wu, give me another one. It's so damn delicious."
"Hey, are you fucking hungry? Half a pizza, a steak, and you're not full yet?" Mantou turned to look at him and asked with a bit of contempt.
"What? No, I can eat and I can do it." The big man looked at him with contempt and curled his lips.
The steamed bun waved his hand and said, "Damn, you're awesome, Lao Wu, give me another steak too."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole table almost burst into tears. He and the big man were on the same level emotionally. They were both foodies. Lao Wu hurriedly sent someone to get them. Soon, the steak and pizza came again. The big man
The two of them continued to eat with the steamed buns. The combined meal of these two people almost caught up with my food intake for a week. I was really ashamed of myself.
Chang Shan wiped his mouth and said, "It's a good thing to be able to eat. I don't want to eat more."
The big man said proudly, "That's right, being able to eat is a blessing. You won't be envious of it."
Jiao Ba said sarcastically, "Hey, aren't you just a foodie? Look, I'm proud of you. I mean, big man, you haven't done much all the way. Are you that hungry?" In the early stages of entering the Ice City, the big man was
The only thing that was relatively difficult for him was that he was basically useless in the hexagonal formation.
"What haven't I done yet? I'm the main force. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago." The big man raised his eyebrows and said proudly.
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "You are right. You were indeed the main force before, but when we arrived at the hexagonal formation, you basically had nothing to do. We were working hard on the ancient ship, and you were just watching under the ancient ship.
That’s all.”
"What about watching the wind? It's hard work. Besides, you asked me to stay, not of my own free will." The big man put all the responsibility on Jiao Ba with just one sentence.
Jiao Ba was speechless for a moment. He said with a smile, "Okay, I'm convinced, but I have to say, big man, you are really good. No wonder my brother-in-law always said that you are loyal. You are really a man."
"
Jiao Ba rarely talks so much to the big man, and he said so many nice things this time. He is really a bit transgendered. If he flatters someone, it feels too fake to me. He can't be fake anymore, and he can't
I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in this gourd. Is he using the big man to drink it or has some other purpose?
"It's a joke." The big man clasped his hands in his fists and said with a smile while squinting his eyes.
Mr. Mai and I and others looked at each other, and everyone nodded and smiled. I think I have a relatively clear view of the big man's character. He is not the kind of person who is very scheming. Some people may say that this is just
It's a cover-up, but I don't think so. The feeling the big man gives me is that he is honest from the bottom of his heart. This kind of honesty is impossible to fake.
No matter how much human nature is concealed, it will more or less reveal some flaws. As long as you observe more, there will always be some uncertainties, even if it is just a look, but not for the big man. He is that kind of honest person. I have always
I think that among our group, maybe the big guy is the only one who doesn't have any secrets to hide.
