After returning to the ship, everyone didn't even take off their equipment. They all collapsed on the deck. Even Li Xin lay on the deck with her eyes closed and gasped for air. I was the same, I was so tired that I almost collapsed.
Well, this time I felt that I was really lucky, absolutely lucky. If I had narrowly escaped death a few times before, this time I was definitely lucky.
Jenny hurried over and asked, "You are finally back, how are you? Are you all okay?"
Several of us still didn't reply. We were all like dead dogs, lying motionless on the deck. Mr. Mai also died suddenly this time. Usually this old guy is almost the strongest physically, but he can't do it now.
Beside me, an arm was also draped over me.
When Jenny saw that we were silent, she asked again, "Is everything okay? Mr. Mai, Li Xin, what's wrong with you guys?" It's no wonder she was like this, this was the first time she saw us collapse together.
On the deck, no one could say a word.
I opened my eyes and looked at the dark sky. The rain fell on my face, which made me sober. I sat up reluctantly, glanced at Jenny and said, "What else happened? It's good to be back. Let's
Almost died inside."
When Jenny heard this, she was a little surprised and said, "Ah? What happened again? Well...then everyone came back safely? Why does it seem that there is one person missing?" She was looking at the number of people while talking.
.
"Well, one of them died not long ago." I spoke in a low tone. When I thought of the sailor who died just now, I felt very uncomfortable. After all, I also have a certain responsibility for this. If I hadn't tried my best to encourage other people
If the sailors went into the sea, maybe this kind of thing wouldn't happen, and then maybe the sailor who died this time wouldn't have died either.
"Ah? Another one died? Why? How could this happen? What happened? Did you meet that big black fish called the Thorny Pony again?" Jenny's face was ugly, and it could be seen that she was somewhat a little bit nervous.
sad.
At this time, Mr. Mai sat up, moved his arms and said, "No, what happened this time is much more difficult to explain than that pony."
"Yes, we are lucky to be able to leave alive. The main reason is that we stayed underwater for too long and ran out of oxygen. Otherwise, we wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation." Li Xin's words came from the side, but
She was still lying on the deck.
Jenny sighed sadly and said, "Hey... I didn't expect that we would lose another person. I really feel sorry for them."
Whether this is true or not, at least it sounds like it. The other sailors didn't say anything, and I don't know what they were thinking or what they were planning. They had already realized that the danger was too great and had long ago
They just wanted to leave. If they hadn't listened to me, they would never have gone into the sea. Another person died this time. I think what happens next will be difficult to do.
Jiao Ba suddenly said something very heartless, "He must have touched something he shouldn't have touched. If it hadn't been for his being too quick, he might not have died."
When the sailor died, neither Jiao Ba nor Li Xin were at the scene, but how did he know? Was it a random guess? Or, he knew that there was something wrong with these gold jewelry since he entered this forbidden area.
Are you hiding it from us on purpose? I'm a little confused at the moment, but I feel that Jiao Ba shouldn't be like this.
"Damn it, Jiao Ba, what do you mean? Does this mean he deserves to die?" The big man from Shandong suddenly sat up and looked at Jiao Ba angrily. The dead sailor had a normal relationship with this big man.
They were very close friends. When Jiao Ba said this, he immediately stopped working.
Jiao Ba didn't get angry, and said calmly, "Brother, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that. What I meant was that if you encounter anything under the deep sea, you must be careful, otherwise you will be in catastrophe.
Do you think it would be fine if he didn't touch that thing?"
"How do we know that thing can't be touched? I get angry when I hear you talk like that." The big man was really angry. He kept staring at Jiao Ba. If not Jiao Ba's grandson was the same, how could he have done it?
Talking sarcastically here is really just looking for trouble. If it makes the remaining sailors anxious, then there will be no need to do the following work.
"I'm sorry, brother. He talks like this and has a bad mouth. In fact, he feels quite uncomfortable. After all, we are a collective. If we see anyone die, we won't be able to bear it." Before Jiao Ba could say anything, I said
He quickly took a step ahead and turned around to glare at him.
Jiao Ba had no choice but to apologize to the big man and calm down the matter. If it really got serious, it would not end well.
Li Xin asked a little confused, "But how did he die? I still don't know?"
"Yeah, what happened?" Jenny also said anxiously.
Mai Lao stood up slowly and said, "I can't explain a sentence or two clearly. Let's take a rest for a while. In half an hour, we will all gather in the restaurant. Everyone will come." After Mai Lao said,
Slowly and leisurely walked back to the cabin.
The rest of us also returned to the rest cabin one after another, but after returning to the rest cabin, I found that several other sailors started packing their things after entering the room. I asked a little puzzled, "Brothers, what are you doing?
?”
One of the little bald men said, "Zhongyi, we are not going to do it anymore. Really, we really can't stand it anymore. Another person died today. This time there is nothing we can say."
"Yes, Zhongyi, we planned to leave this ghost place overnight, but we really can't stand it anymore. I didn't expect it to be so scary underwater. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have come." Another person said with a sad face.
.
"Don't... don't bother. It looks like it's going to be successful. Why don't you stop?" This is a critical moment. If they don't do it, then it won't be in vain.
Shunzi also said, "What my brother-in-law said is, it looks like it's going to be over now, so why don't you just stop?"
The little bald man looked at me and said, "Zhongyi, you don't need to persuade us. We have already thought about it and we really can't do it."
I winked at Jiao Ba and asked him to quickly find Mai Lao and Jenny, "No, no, no, brothers, we have worked hard to get to this point. It would be a pity to leave just now. What if the boss doesn't
If I give you money, won’t your hard work these past few months be in vain?”
"To tell you the truth, we would rather leave here without paying a penny."
At this time, Jiao Ba rushed over with Jenny and Mai Lao, and the two sides started a verbal dispute of "you want to stay, I want to leave", but no matter what we said, these sailors were
If you don’t want to do it anymore, it’s useless to say anything, they won’t listen to a word.
Later, the big man from Shandong also came. I figured out that among their sailors, the big man's words were quite important, so I pulled him aside, hoping that through him, these sailors could stay temporarily.
Come down.
"Big man, please help me to persuade them. It's a pity to leave now. Not only can't they get the money, but they may not be able to come back alive after leaving the fishing boat." I handed the big man a cigarette, and the two of us were resting.
Chatting in the corridor outside the cabin.
The big man took the cigarette and lit it. After taking two puffs, he said, "Zhongyi, you also know that another brother died this time. To be honest, even I don't have the confidence to continue working now. You said this money depends on life."
In comparison, life must be more important, right?"
I nodded and said, "Of course, but if you think about it, it is impossible for the fishing boat to go back because of you. If you rely on the lifeboat to leave, you will not be able to go back alive. The storms and waves on the sea can come at any time, so why not
It's easy." I'm telling the truth. I told them last time that it would be extremely difficult to go back.
The big man thought for a moment and then said, "Yes, I know that too, so let's do this. I'll try my best to persuade them. I can't guarantee whether it will work or not. I'll go there right now."
I patted his arm and returned to the rest cabin with him.
