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?"
A few of us still didn't reply, we were all lying on the deck like dead dogs. He was motionless, and Mr. Mai also died suddenly this time. Usually this old guy was almost the strongest physically, but now he couldn't. He fell next to me, with one arm still on my body.
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 behaved like this, this is her first time We all collapsed on the deck, and 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 is wrong? Can you?" It would be nice to come back, we almost died inside.”
When Jenny heard this, she was a little surprised and said, "Huh? What happened again? So everyone came back safely, right? 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 encouraged other sailors to go to sea, maybe this thing wouldn't have happened, and then the sailor who died this time might not have died.
"Huh? Another one died? What? How could this happen? What happened? Did you meet that big black fish called Thorn Pony again?" Jenny's face was ugly, you could see Yes, she was somewhat 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 a mess." Li Xin's words came from the side, but she was still there. Lying on the deck.
Jenny sighed sadly and said, "Oh, 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 that. Nothing happened, the other sailors didn't say anything, and they didn't know anything about them. What were they thinking or making plans? They had realized that the danger was too great and had wanted to leave a long time ago. If they had not listened to my words, they would never have gone to the sea. Another person died this time. , I think what happens behind this is very 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? Is it a random guess? Or is it that he knew there was something wrong with these gold jewelry since he entered this forbidden area and deliberately hid it from us? I'm a little confused at the moment, but I feel that Jiao Ba shouldn't be like this.
"Damn, 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, the dead sailor, and the others angrily. The big man's relationship was usually very good, but when he heard what Jiao Ba said, he immediately gave up.
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 is untouchable, and I get angry when you talk like that." The big man was really angry, and kept staring at Jiao Ba. If not, Jiao Ba, his grandson, would have been making sarcastic comments here. , Damn, you are just looking for trouble. If you make the remaining sailors anxious, then you will not be able 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 will feel unbearable." Before Jiao could wait, When Ba was talking, I quickly jumped in and turned around to glare at him.
Jiao Ba had no choice but to apologize to the big man, and then the matter calmed down. If it really got bigger, 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.
Mr. Mai stood up slowly and said, "I can't say a word or two clearly. Let's just rest for a while. After half an hour, we will all gather in the restaurant. Everyone will come." "After Mai Lao finished speaking, he slowly 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 to pack things after entering the room. I asked a little puzzled, "Brothers, you guys What is this for?"
One of the little bald heads said, "Zhongyi, we are not going to do it anymore. , Really, I really can’t stand it anymore. Another person died today. I can’t say anything this time.”
“Yes, Zhongyi, we plan 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 was like this, I wouldn't have said anything." Another person said with a sad face.
"Don't bother, it looks like it's going to be successful, why don't you stop?" This is the critical moment, if they don't do it, then it won't be in vain.
Shunzi also said, "Brother Yi said, it looks like it's going to be over now, so why don't you stop?"
The little bald head looked at me and said, "Zhongyi, you don't need to persuade us. We have already thought about it. We really can't do it."
I winked at Jiao Ba and told him to go quickly. Ask Mr. Mai and Jenny to come over and say, "No, no, no, brothers. We have worked hard to get to this point. It would be a pity to leave just now. If the boss doesn't give you money, your hard work these few months will not be in vain." "
"To be honest with you, we would rather leave here now 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, I could let him These sailors stayed for the time being.
"Big man, please help me with some advice. 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. The two of us were chatting in the aisle outside the rest cabin.
The big man took the cigarette and lit it. After taking two puffs, he said, "Zhongyi, as you know, another brother died this time. To be honest, even I don't have the confidence to continue doing this. Do you think life is more important than money?"
I nodded and said, "That's for sure, but if you think about it carefully, it's impossible for the fishing boat to go back because of you. If you leave by relying on the lifeboat, you won't be able to go back alive. Storms and waves on the sea can come at any time. It's not that easy." I This is the truth. I told them last time that it would be extremely difficult to go back.
The big man thought for a while and then said, "Yeah, I know that too, so let's do it. I'll try my best to persuade them. I can't guarantee whether it will work. I'll go over there right now." I patted his arm and followed him. Back to the rest cabin again.
