Chapter 6, initial suspicion


Jenny saw us coming, she walked over with a smile on her face and said, "Good morning, everyone."

"Good morning, by the way, let me introduce you, this is my partner, Shunzi" I hurriedly said to each other Let me introduce you, and don’t worry if people ask you later.

After they greeted each other, Jenny said, "Let's go, I'll take you around to get familiar with the environment."

The three of us followed her all the way from the deck to the cabin. Then we walked from the cabin to the engine room, and we visited almost all the places on the ship, except for the two cabins with utility rooms written on them. The overall structure of this ship is good, and the construction materials are also very good. It should belong to The best thing in a fishing boat.

There are about twenty people on the whole ship. Counting the captain and first mate, the captain is Jenny. The first mate is an old man, at least sixty years old. He wears a pair of reading glasses and his hair is They were all white, but they looked quite knowledgeable, a bit like today's "barking beasts", and they didn't have the sea smell of fishermen. They didn't look like they were in this business.

This old guy is already old, and he is not afraid of losing his waist when he goes to sea. He is still struggling at such an old age. This is really costing money rather than his life. By then, he will be energetic in the Dead Sea, and I will not be too lazy to meddle.

Besides Jenny, there is another woman on this boat, who is said to be in charge of our meals, that is, the cook. But I don’t think she looks like a chef. The reason is very simple. She is also a beauty. Have you ever seen a beautiful woman working as a chef? This woman is either too fat or too ugly to be a chef. How many are like her?

There are two maintenance workers and two helmsmen, namely the second mate and the third mate. The rest are almost all sailors, including the three of us, but I suddenly discovered a problem. This fishing boat not only has weird personnel, but also weird equipment.

We turned around a lot, and I found that there was no fisherman on this boat, at least I didn’t see it. On the contrary, there were a lot of wire ropes, all of them bundled. There could be dozens of them, and at the stern of the ship, I also saw a dozen large pontoons, which made me even more confused.

If an ocean-going fishing boat does not catch fish, what does it rely on to catch fish? Could it be that there is a more advanced fishing method than this? I have only quit sailing for two years, so it won’t develop so fast, right? I don't know the purpose of this big pontoon. It is said to be used to salvage sunken ships, but what do they use it for? Could it be said.

Although I had doubts, I still didn't ask, because it wasn't something I cared about. What equipment they used was their business. I was just a part-time worker, so I just had to do my job well.

With a roar, the fishing boat started to move. I stood on the bow of the boat and watched the noisy city getting further and further away from me. Suddenly, I felt a difficult feeling. After being at sea for a long time, people will not be able to bear it. , is that a kind of mental failure? I have seen too many people who suffered from schizophrenia because of ocean going. I really don’t know whether this ocean going is right or wrong. In order to make two extra bucks, I really sacrificed my life.

"Are you a little reluctant to leave?" A voice rang in my ear. I turned around and saw that it was Jenny. She was looking straight ahead with a smile on her face. This girl is really awesome. The more beautiful it looks, it’s so eye-catching.

I suddenly discovered one thing. I will definitely not be lonely when I go to sea this time. In the past, when I went to sea, the ship was full of gentlemen, and it took me a year and a half to go out. It would be weird if I got sick. Well, fortunately, I have a good heart. Now there are women on the boat, and there are two beautiful women. This is not bad. Not to mention making money, we also have beautiful women accompanying us, which is quite enjoyable just thinking about it.

When I thought of this, I laughed unconsciously, "Hey, are you okay? What are you laughing at?" Jenny's words brought me back to reality.

I gathered my emotions and asked, "Ah, what did you just say?"

"I said, are you a little reluctant to leave?" She rolled her eyes at me and said.

I took a deep breath and said, "It was a little bit at first, but not anymore. With the company of beautiful women here, naturally you won't be lonely." As I spoke, I still had intentions. She raised her eyebrows, which was barely considered a tease! Jenny's face was not very good, a little gloomy, and she seemed to be angry. She said coldly, "Please speak with respect, and put away your gangster behavior." After saying that, she turned around and left. , Tsk, it’s really boring, I can’t even make a joke.

"Brother Yi, did you have someone dig it up?" Shunzi walked over as he spoke, with a sly smile on his face.

“Get out of here, a man like me just doesn’t know what he’s doing.” I took out my cigarette, lit it, and took two puffs.

Shunzi took the cigarette case from my hand and said, "You're here, I heard it from the side just now, and you were still pretending."

I looked at him sideways and said, "Damn it, you You're looking for a beating, right? You've learned how to eavesdrop."

Shunzi giggled and didn't say anything. The two of us just sat on the bow and smoked, watching the seabirds and feeling the sea breeze. He also boasted a few words about his awesomeness.

When looking at the endless sea, people's hearts are excited at first, and then they are afraid. The excitement is the vastness of the ocean, but the fear is still there. The ocean is far away, and you look at the vast sea every day. Who can It's bearable, especially at night, when the sea seems like a bottomless abyss. , most people can’t bear it

The fishing boat has been traveling for more than six hours. I took a look and found that this should be between the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea in China. In this season, the fish here are still There's quite a lot. Shunzi and I are all ready and can start work at any time.

But the boat had no intention of stopping and kept going. I was a little confused. There were a lot of fish here and it was very suitable for work. Why didn't it stop? I casually asked a sailor next to me, "Brother, why doesn't this ship stop? I missed such a good opportunity."

This man was about thirty years old, with charred skin and a poor physique. He is very muscular, and he looks like he has been at sea for a long time. He smokes a cigarette and speaks in southern dialect, "If you are in charge of football, just give us money. It doesn't matter where you start work."
I smiled and then chatted with him for a few more words. During the chat, I learned that people here call him Heizi. He also knows almost all the other sailors. They have worked together before. This time He also came here because of the higher salary, but he didn't seem to know what he was doing specifically. According to him, when he came, they only said it was offshore work, not fishing.

“Aren’t we an ocean-going fishing boat? What else can we do if we don’t fish?” I asked tentatively, hoping to find something to say.

Heizi said with an indifferent expression, "Mopi, do whatever you want, as long as you have the money. Besides, no matter if you are a diver or a sailor, I can do it."

diver? It seems that fishing does not require diving, right? I knew it was useless to ask any more questions. He was a stubborn person. I smiled and handed him a cigarette and stopped talking.

Jenny walked out of the cabin at this time and said, "It's time to eat, let's eat first."

I haven't seen Jiao Ba all morning, and the grandson is not here I stayed on the deck, maybe somewhere to be lazy, and I didn't bother to care about him. Today's lunch was not bad, the meat and vegetables were well matched, and the vegetarian dishes were relatively fresh. This is also because it was just the first day at sea. That's no longer a good thing.

When we finished lunch, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. Shunzi said in my ear, "Brother Yi, I feel that this boat is a bit strange. We used to have so many fish areas. I missed it, what are you doing?”

I thought about it and said, “Well, I think so, let’s wait and see.”

I always feel that I am not here to fish this time. Let’s just talk about these people in charge. None of them are decent. How can anyone look like a fisherman? Especially Jenny and the female chef. The more I look at them, the more I No, coupled with what that black guy said, it made me even more suspicious.

At this time, the fishing boat suddenly stopped, and the old man wearing glasses came out and said, "Everyone, take a rest first. When it gets evening, we will start working."

Working in the evening? What the hell are you flying? The previous fishing boats were all about working during the day, and resting as much as possible at night. But if there are too many fish, there is nothing you can do. You are good, you have been idle during the day, and you have to wait until the evening. Homework, is this something shameful? I decided to ask for clarification. I told Shunzi, got up and walked to the cabin.
