The three of us carefully left this dark sea area. We didn't encounter anything special on the way, and we emerged from the water relatively safely.
At night, looking at the sea and the sky are the same, there is nothing but incomparable darkness, as if there is a feeling that the sky and the sea are connected.
Shunzi saw us coming back and quickly put down the life ladder. The three of us climbed onto the fishing boat along the ladder. There were many people on the deck. Jenny, Li Xin, and the returning sailors were all here. Of course, there was also that one
The body of a sailor killed by a snakehead fish.
"Mr. Mai, Brother Yi, Lao Ba, are you all okay?" Shunzi supported me and asked a little worriedly.
"It's okay, aren't they all still alive?" I took off the oxygen bottle and replied to him helplessly.
At this time, Jenny hurriedly came over and asked, "Mr. Mai, why are you like this? You were a good person just now, and now..." Jenny's eyes turned red as she spoke, and tears were rolling in her eyes. It was obvious that
, she was really sad this time.
Mai Lao frowned and sighed, "Hey, this happened so suddenly, there's nothing we can do about it. Let's bury him properly."
Li Xin folded her arms and asked, "What on earth did you encounter under the sea? How could this person become like this?"
I was too lazy to talk to her and just ignored her. Jiao Ba looked at her and said, "Didn't anyone else tell you?"
"They all said they encountered a sea monster, are they true? Is there really a sea monster?" Li Xin asked with a frown.
"We don't know if it's a sea monster, but from the outside, it looks more like a big fish." Mai Lao said softly.
Jenny wiped her tears and said, "Mr. Mai, what should we do next?" Every time she encounters a problem, she has to ask this old guy. No wonder, she is just a girl, what can she know? Even if she
She is a graduate student, but she is still a woman. She really has to rely on men to check many things.
Mai Lao looked at everyone and said, "Well, let's bury him first and then talk about it."
At this time, the four sailors came over together. Among them, the big man from Shandong said with a sad face, "Boss, we... we don't want to do it anymore, please let us go home. What kind of sailing is this?"
Ah, this is simply life-threatening, I’m not married yet, I don’t want to die like this.”
"Yes, boss, just let us go back. Four people have died in the past few days at sea. Death underwater is so scary. We can't stand it anymore. If we continue like this, even if we don't die, we will become
I'm mentally ill." Another sailor said next to him, his face turned pale, it was obvious that he was very frightened.
Jenny was a little dumbfounded at this moment. If these sailors stopped working, how would they salvage the sunken ship? But they couldn’t be blamed. Counting Gangzi who was beaten to death by the big beard, four people were dead now.
, maybe someone will die in the future, and no one wants to follow in their footsteps. In addition, after experiencing such a horrific thing just now, most people's hearts simply cannot bear it, even me.
Just relying on perseverance to support it.
"Masters, I'm begging you. If you stop working, how can we continue to work? Don't worry, I will definitely give you more money. I will also share the salvaged things with everyone. I
I promise that everyone will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, please believe me." Jenny has a sincere expression on her face. I believe what she said. After all, she gave us sailors all the things in the sunken ships in the Qing Dynasty.
"Boss, I'm begging you too. I don't want anything anymore. Just let me go home. I don't want any money. As long as you let me go back now, I don't want a penny. I'll treat it as free these days."
You did it, I really can't stand it anymore, if this continues, people will die, and I don't want to die." This big man from Shandong always had a cry in his voice. This big man looked quite scary, but he was not as courageous as I imagined.
So big.
"Yes, yes, boss, as long as you let us go home now, we would rather not get paid. This job is simply not done by humans. We really can't stand it. If you know that salvaging a sunken ship will be so dangerous, how much more can you give us?"
The money won’t come either...Boss, just think of us as begging you..." The other three sailors were also begging beside them. It seemed that they were determined not to do it anymore. They all said that people are worth money.
, but when it comes to life and death, life is still the most valuable.
Jenny was completely dumbfounded. She looked at the sailors and couldn't say a word. She hesitated for a long time without saying anything clearly. The sailors just insisted that they wouldn't do it. No matter how much money you give, it won't work. They just don't want to.
After I finished it, I didn’t want to go to the sea again no matter what.
Mr. Mai said at this time, "Everyone, listen to me, this matter..."
"Stop talking. It's useless what you keep saying. We really can't do this job. Stop trying to persuade us. This is not a matter of money. Even if you give us more money,
Our lives are all gone, so what's the use." Before Mr. Mai could finish his words, he was interrupted. This big man from Shandong is obsessed with death. He is a typical person who accepts death. But at this time, he also
It's not like you can go back just by going back.
Li Xin didn't speak the whole time, just watching from the side. Mai Lao and Jenny kept trying to persuade these sailors. This time, the old man's smooth tongue would not work. No matter what he said,
Even if he sprayed spit spray all over the ship, it would be useless. Nothing could change the minds of these sailors. It seemed that these sailors already had an immune system to his language.
I looked at each other and Jiao Ba said secretly in my ear, "Brother Yi, what should we do now? If these sailors stop working, this sunken ship will definitely not be salvaged. We have to find a way to keep them."
ah."
I whispered calmly, "I know, too. I'm just trying to figure it out. Do you have any ideas? Go ahead and try it."
Jiao Ba suddenly showed a fierce look and said, "Let's be a little cruel. Why don't we just threaten them directly and kill them if they don't go to the sea?"
I glared at him and cursed softly, "Get out of here, you are causing trouble. After all, we are also companions. We have been through life and death, and we are not the ones who want to do this." This grandson still wants to do this at this time. This is not forcing him.
Are you rebelling against the Sailor Gate?
Jiao Ba smiled mischievously and said, "Hey, I was just joking, brother, why should I take it seriously? Besides, I, Jiao Ba, am not that person, but... But if they really don't do it,
It’s hard enough to know the purpose of our voyage this time.”
Jiao Ba's words make sense. If these sailors stop working, then this sunken ship will definitely not be salvaged. For such a big sunken ship, even if we all mobilize, it will take a day or two, not to mention
There are four people missing.
Furthermore, if the sunken ship cannot be salvaged, it will be difficult to solve the previous mysteries. Who is the man in black? Maybe some clues will be revealed in the future, but it will be difficult to know the life experience of the female corpse, and the bearded one.
Why did my subordinates disappear collectively? I feel that these are not accidental. This must be someone who is pushing the progress of the whole thing. This person should be the mastermind behind the scenes. I think he understands the purpose of our going to sea.
The purpose of this trip to sea is definitely not just to salvage the sunken ship. There must be some big secret hidden behind it, but what exactly is it hidden? For so many days, I have been unable to figure it out. It seems that I want to unravel it all.
, we have to keep moving forward with the pace. Since someone is pushing the development of things, why don't we continue to move forward along with him?
Shunzi touched me at this time, interrupted my thinking and said, "Brother Yi, which side should we stand on? Who should we help?"
I looked at him, and his face was full of embarrassment. No wonder, we are sailors working for Jenny. Logically speaking, we should speak from the perspective of sailors, but Jiao Ba and I want to unravel all this even more.
I want to know the purpose of this trip to sea and the secret hidden behind it, so I have to speak from Jenny's perspective.
I smiled and said, "Help everyone." After saying that, I walked towards Jenny. The sailors still kept arguing, and some were almost crying. They were pleading and begging. In fact,
I can imagine that fear can drive people crazy, but in order to keep them, I have to stand up and speak out.
"Can everyone just be quiet for a moment?" I yelled, finally making them all quiet down.
Jenny and Mr. Mai looked at me, but I didn’t make any expression. Instead, I looked at the sailors in front of me and said, “Everyone, listen to me first. Like you, I am a sailor working for the boss, and it’s not just me.
, Lao Ba, and Shunzi, all of them, we are all brothers in the trenches. I don’t want to say anything righteous. I just want everyone to think about it. We have been at sea for so many days, and four people have died.
But in the end, we went back without getting anything. Aren't we a bit sorry for ourselves? Aren't all the hard work and efforts these days in vain? "
It seems that my words had a little effect. The four of them looked at each other and whispered a few words. They should have been a little shaken. I can think of this. After all, I am on the same side as them, because
We are all working part-time, and if Jenny said this, it would be of no use at all.
The big man looked at me and said, "Of course we know. We also want to make more money and live a good life in the future. But now it is so dangerous and several people have died. How can I not be afraid?"
I knew they could say that, and I had already thought of a countermeasure, "Think about it, we have been far away from the mainland since we set out to sea, and it is impossible for the fishing boats to return. Even if we give you the lifeboat now, can you
Are you going to paddle back? If you encounter wind, waves or sharks again along the way, won’t you all explain it?”
The expressions of the four people softened a bit, and I said more forcefully, "Actually, I am just like you, I also want to go back early and end this miserable life. There may not always be danger. We need to pay attention.
It will be safe. If everyone works harder, we can salvage the sunken ship. With the treasure and money, we can return home in glory."
When I said this, I cursed myself in my heart, and even wanted to give myself a few big words. I was speaking out of conscience. The dangers in the deep sea are so great, no matter how careful I am, I can't do it. But in front of me
To tell the truth, even if they were given a lifeboat, they would not be able to return to land and would have to die in the sea in the end.
The four of them looked at each other, probably shaken. I walked over and patted the big man on the shoulder, looked into his eyes and said, "We will fight side by side. It will be fine. We will make a lot of money by then. Let's go back together."
.”
The big man was finally convinced by me. His eyes were red and he nodded and said, "Well, we... we are not leaving. When we make a lot of money, we will go back together."...
