After the big boat stopped next to us, Lao Wu looked at us from above and shouted, "How are you friends? Welcome back."
I looked up at him in the sea, waved and shouted, "Lao Wu, do you have any more cigarettes? Prepare some for me." I remembered the first time I asked him for cigarettes, as if it was yesterday.
"Mr. Jin, the smoke has been prepared for you a long time ago and is waiting for you to get on the boat." Old Wu shouted with a smile. This middle-aged man still made people feel so close.
We then climbed up the lifeladder to the ship one by one. I was the last one to go up. When I got up, I saw that everyone else was lying on the deck. They were all very tired. No, it's very comfortable to lie on the deck and bask in the sun.
Lao Wu came over at this time, he stretched out his hand to me, and I quickly stretched out my hand. The two of us shook hands. Lao Wu said excitedly, "Great, Mr. Jin, I finally found you. Ah, I feel relieved to see you come back again.”
I smiled and said, "What? Are you in a hurry?"
"Yeah, I can't contact you either. If the ice here hadn't suddenly melted, I wouldn't have known what to do. It's really Thank God, I feel relieved to see that you and the captain are safe." Old Wu tightened my hand hard.
I patted his arm and said, "Thank you, Lao Wu. If you hadn't arrived in time, we might have said goodbye forever."
The big man and the steamed bun also said to me at this time We walked over and hugged each other. During these days in Bingcheng, I was really not used to them without their company.
"I'm not used to being alone without you two, especially the big guy. I miss you very much." I pointed at him and said with a smile.
The big man laughed loudly, "What else can you say? The cooperation between the two of us is perfect."
"And me, the three of us work together perfectly." The steamed bun grinned widely. mouth and said with a smile.
At this time, Mr. Mai stood up and said, "Okay, let's stop reminiscing about the past. Those who are injured should be treated as soon as possible, and those who are not injured should rest as soon as possible. We will wait until tomorrow to discuss everything. There is nothing to do today. We must rest, Lao Wu, please prepare some food for us, everyone is starving." Even after boarding the ship, Mr. Mai is still the leader. It seems that Martin's status as captain is really not guaranteed.
Old Wu nodded and said, "Okay, I will make arrangements right away. Mr. Mai, you guys take a rest first.".
We all treated the wounds afterwards, and the equipment on the ship was very complete. Pretty much everything, Jenny and Martin The leg injury was also re-bandaged. It is no longer a serious problem. The cold-proof clothes were also taken off. Everyone simply took a shower and put on new clothes. It was really comfortable and the danger was finally eliminated. Okay, we can take a good rest for the time being.
I was lying on the bed in the rest cabin, feeling this true happiness. This is a kind of enjoyment for me now, and heaven on earth is nothing more than this. It seems that every time I crawl back from the line of death, my appreciation for life has changed. The desire becomes stronger, and I cherish everything I have now. Nothing is more precious than life. As long as a person is alive, there is hope for everything.
Except for Mr. Mai, everyone else is in the rest cabin. Martin and Shaoyu are in another rest cabin. This rest cabin is all occupied by our own people, except of course Li Xin and Jenny. They are beautiful women. They are alone in a relatively good rest cabin, which is much better than ours. But overall, the equipment on Martin's ship is still good. Our rest cabin didn't feel that good before, but now It seems so good, so perfect.
"Brother Yi, what are you thinking about?" Jiao Ba was lying on the bed next to me, turning his head and asking me.
"It's nothing, just imagining." I looked at the bed board on the upper bunk, my eyes a little dull.
Jiao Ba turned over and said to me, "Do you feel that this kind of life is very comfortable? Is it simply a kind of enjoyment?"
I glanced at him sideways and said, "Yes, I enjoy it very much. I like this feeling."
"This is the effect after comparison. We have suffered so many sins before, but now we can lie down peacefully." It is indeed a kind of happiness here." Chang Shan's voice came from the inside.
At this time, the snoring of the big man and the steamed bun started to sound louder than the other. Jiao Ba said helplessly, "Damn, these two grandsons, one minute. He’s not there yet, he’s already asleep.”
Shunzi walked out of the bathroom at this time, and he kept looking at her. Looking at me, I smiled, "Why are you looking at me like that? Have you never seen me before?"
He walked to my bed and sat down, and said a little embarrassed, "Brother, I was here before When we were on the ancient ship, I said some things that I shouldn’t have said. Don’t take it seriously. That’s not what I wanted to say.”
I patted his arm, looked at him and said, "I know, you don't have to think too much, we are brothers, it's okay." In fact, I knew very well that although the power of the ancient ship controlled his mind, it was also because of him People who have this kind of thinking will be controlled, but this kind of thinking is just amplified.
"You really didn't blame me?" Shunzi looked at me and asked timidly.
"Shunzi, don't think too much. Brother Yi will not blame you. He almost killed you." Jiao Ba lit a cigarette and said something very unpleasant. , which pot is really not worth mentioning?
"Kill me? Why?" Shunzi asked without understanding.
"Don't you remember?" I looked at him and asked.
Shunzi shook his head slowly, "I don't remember. I always feel like I have forgotten something and my memory is very messy."
I don't know if he really forgot or if he was pretending in front of me on purpose. Forgetting, I squeezed his hand and said, "It's best to forget. Some things shouldn't be remembered. As long as you remember that we are buddies and brothers."
"Well, when will that happen? , you are all my big brother." Shunzi looked at me and said seriously.
Jiao Ba shivered next to him, "Oh, it's so cold, so numb."
"Fuck you, uncle." I scolded him with a smile.
At this time, the cabin door was opened, and Mr. Mai stood at the door and said, "Everyone, get up, go eat first, and then rest after eating."
Lao Wu prepared sumptuous food for us, and we stayed in Ice City. During these days, all we ate was compressed dry food. It had been a while since we had decent food. The smell of delicious food in the restaurant almost made my mouth water.
The only thing that makes me dissatisfied is that it’s still Western food, steak and pizza, and some desserts. I don’t even remember how long it’s been since I’ve had Chinese food. I really miss that Chinese food. The taste, especially the feeling of Northeastern cuisine from my hometown.
The big man and the others simply devoured the steak like famine victims. They didn’t even need to cut the steak with a knife. They grabbed it with their hands and put it directly into their mouths. And he wasn’t the only one like him. Mantou and Lao Water, including Shunzi, was about the same. Everyone was starving. The life in the ice city was simply unbearable. I just ate in silence and filled my stomach first.
"Everyone eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, there is plenty of food." Lao Wu said with some distress after seeing how we were eating.
The big man quickly finished the steak on the plate. He raised his head and asked, "Old Wu, give me another one. It's so damn delicious."
"Hey, you fucking Are you starving? Half a pizza and a steak, are you still not full?" Mantou turned to look at him and asked with a bit of disdain.
"What? No, I can eat and I can do it." The big man looked at him with contempt and curled his lips.
The steamed bun waved his hand and said, "Damn, you are so good, Lao Wu, give me another steak."
As soon as he finished saying this, the whole table almost screamed. Come on, he's on the same level emotionally as the big man. , they are all foodies, Lao Wu hurriedly sent someone to get it. Soon, the steak and pizza came again. The big man and the steamed buns continued to eat. The two of them had a meal together, and they almost caught up with me in a week. I'm really ashamed of myself for eating so much.
Chang Shan wiped his mouth and said, "It's a good thing to be able to eat. I can't eat more even if I want to."
The big man said proudly, "That's right, being able to eat is a blessing. Are you envious? Come."
Jiao Ba said sarcastically, "Oh, no. Are you a foodie? Look, I'm proud of you. I mean, big man, you haven't done much all the way. Are you that hungry? "The big man had a hard time in the early stages of entering the Ice City, but he was relatively relaxed. Yes, when in the hexagonal formation, he is basically useless.
"What haven't I done yet? I am the main force. Without me, you would have died long ago." The big man raised his eyebrows and said proudly.
Jiao Ba nodded and said, "You are right. You were indeed the main force before, but when it came to the hexagonal formation, you basically had nothing to do. We were working hard on the ancient ship, and you were nothing more than Just watching the wind under the ancient ship.”
"What about watching the wind? It's hard work. Besides, you asked me to stay, not of my own free will." The big man put all the responsibility on Jiao Ba with just one sentence.
Jiao Ba was speechless for a moment. He said with a smile, "Okay, I'm convinced, but I have to say, big man, you are really good. No wonder Yi Ge always said that you are loyal and loyal. Really, you are a man.”
Jiao Ba rarely said this to the big man. Too talkative. He said so many good things this time. He is really a bit changed. If he flatters someone, it feels too fake to me. He can't be fake any more. I don't know what kind of medicine he is selling in this gourd. Is he making fun of the big guy, or has some other motive, I don't know.
“It’s a joke.” The big man clasped his hands in his fists and said with a smile while squinting his eyes.
I looked at each other with Mr. Mai and others, and everyone nodded and smiled. I think I have a relatively clear view of the big man’s character. He is not the kind of person who is very scheming. Maybe Some people would say that this is just a cover-up, but I don’t think so. The feeling the big man gives me is that he is honest from the bottom of his heart. This kind of honesty is impossible to fake. No matter how much human nature is concealed, it will more or less reveal some flaws. As long as you observe more, there will always be some uncertainty, even if it is just a look, but not for the big man. He is that kind of simple and honest person. I have always I think that among our group, maybe the big guy is the only one who doesn’t have any secrets to hide.
