Nowadays, it is very fast to take a boat from Shunde to Zhonggang, only a few hours. But it was still relatively slow at that time, and in order not to attract attention, the boat had to operate normally for fishing, so it drove really slowly, stopping and going.
Almost like a snail.
Sister Hong, it’s okay. I am a landlubber from the north who took a boat for the first time. I got seasick that night. Lao Huo repeatedly told us not to go out. If we were inspected and we didn’t have crew certificates, we would be in big trouble. Lao Huo said we should hold it in.
If you feel panic, you can go to the splint after 1 o'clock in the evening to get some fresh air.
During the entire voyage, Lao Huo planned to arrive in China in seven days. Sister Hong and I had a good meal in the utility room, which was all seafood such as shrimps and fish. The person who delivered the food to us was also the one who helped us carry the boxes on the ship.
Young man, he is Lao Huo's nephew, nicknamed Douyazai, and he is also one of the few people on the ship who knows that Sister Hong and I live in the utility room.
Dou Sprout was a talkative man in his early twenties. Seeing that Sister Hong and I were listless all day long, he would sometimes bring us food and chat with us. Dou Sprout told us a lot of stories about the sea, and I also told a few stories about how we went to protect our fairies in the Northeast.
The story with Huang Pizi left Dou Sprout in a daze for a while.
At about nine o'clock in the evening on the fourth day, Sister Hong and I were killing time playing poker in the utility room, when suddenly the urgent voice of Captain Lao Huo came from the intercom.
"You two! Are you two here? Please reply if you hear me."
I pressed the intercom, "What's wrong?"
"The situation is not good. The inspection team is here. I will try my best to spend a few minutes here and let Dou Sprout pass. You should follow Dou Sprout quickly and let him lead you to hide!"
As soon as Lao Huo finished speaking on the walkie-talkie, there was a knock on the door from Bean Sprouts.
After opening the door, Douyazai threw two raincoats to me and Sister Hong in a panic. He asked us to put on the raincoats and then left.
After leaving the engine room, Douyazai used the intercom and whispered: "Uncle, what's the situation now? Can you go on the deck?"
After waiting for several minutes, the red light on the small walkie-talkie came on and Lao Huo's voice came.
"Ya Zai, that group of people are checking forms in the central control room. Hurry up and lead them to hide in the fish warehouse. They will be there in five minutes!"
"Let's go! Let's go quickly!" Douyazai led Sister Hong and I to open the small door of the engine room and come to the deck.
There is something like a manhole cover in the middle of the deck. Below is the fish warehouse. There are several tons of dead fish in it. The smell is so bad that it can kill people. When you open the manhole cover, there is a ladder. At the urging of Dou Sprout, Sister Hong and I put on raincoats.
, climbed down in a panic.
"Bang." The surrounding area was filled with stench, and it was slippery and greasy. The bean sprouts closed the lid, and the fish barn fell into darkness.
Almost at the same time, Sister Hong and I heard voices coming from the plywood.
"What do you do? Why were you not here when the list was checked just now? Where is your crew certificate?"
I heard Lao Huo say, "Hey, I'm sorry, this is my nephew Dou Sprout. I called him just now, but he didn't reply. Is the intercom out of battery?"
Dou Sprout said quickly: "Uncle, did you just call me? I didn't hear you. It seems that I forgot to charge the walkie-talkie last night."
Lao Huo laughed and scolded: "You kid, you can't be more careful. You've been talking for a long time. Don't just use the walkie-talkie without charging it. You just don't have a long memory. Guys, why don't we go to the employee warehouse and take a look?"
"Hold on, that's the fish warehouse over there. Open it and let me take a look."
