I replied naively, "Xiao Jing, don't talk nonsense, when did I do that, didn't I leave when you asked me to go to the hotel that day!"

"I don't care!" Li Jing made trouble out of no reason: "If you don't tell me what you are doing, if you don't tell me where you are going, I will report you!"

Well, I might as well not come this trip, and go honestly.

Although I am young, I have learned a lot about people and the world in the past six months, and I also know what to say and what not to say.After careful consideration, I lied, and I told Li Jing that our family was actually engaged in the business of selling foreign goods.

In those two years, it was true that a lot of foreign goods in the southern region made a fortune. This industry was somewhat gray, especially those electronic products.Seeing that Li Jing was in a daze, I added: "Xiao Jing, actually the Sony Walkman I gave you on your birthday is a foreign product from home."

Seeing Li Jing's expression, I breathed a sigh of relief. She must have believed it a little bit, because the Sony Walkman was very expensive.

After a few minutes, Li Jing cried again and said: "Xiang Yunfeng, where can I find you in the future? I don't plan to go to college. I will go to work after graduating from high school next year. My mother said that I don't study well. There may be no way out in university, it is better to enter the electronics factory earlier."

"Don't." I looked at her and said, "Don't go to the electronics factory, Xiaojing, if you go, you'll be useless, you know, you listen to me, you must go to college in the future, knowledge can change your destiny!"

Li Jing stopped crying, she was amused by my words.

After thinking about it, Li Jing still shook her head and said, "But my family's situation is not good. I heard from one of my sisters that the tuition fee for four years of college is more than 2 yuan. I may not be able to pass the exam."

After thinking about it for a while, I asked Li Jing to wait for me on the arch bridge.I hurried back to the hotel and took 2 yuan. I shared half of the money and helped Li Jing's family repay the usury owed by his father. Now there is not much left.

I gave Li Jing 2 yuan, and told her the address of my hometown, Mohe.

Afraid that she would have a psychological burden, I said, "Xiao Jing, then, let's make an agreement that after five years you graduate from university, you can go to Mohe to find me."

In this way, I made an agreement with Li Jing on the arch bridge that night. She told me that she would continue to study, and that she would definitely go to Mohe to find me after graduating from university.She made me wait.

The money was spent, but I felt at ease at that time.In fact, it was all caused by puppy love. Now that I think about it, it's like parting with life and death.And when Li Jing and I met, she had already changed a lot, and I will talk about this later.

........

At one o'clock in the middle of the night, a green Great Wall pickup truck arrived at the hotel on time. After loading the two large wooden boxes, Sister Hong and I got on the pickup truck. We were going to a fishing boat arranged by Hongxing Fishery.

It was a serious medium-sized working fishing boat. Not counting me and Sister Hong, I met a total of four crew members. The captain was a bald middle-aged man, and the pickup truck driver called him Lao Huo.

Lao Huo ordered the crew to help us move the boxes, and when she saw the place where we lived, Sister Hong frowned and expressed her dissatisfaction.Lao Huo let us live in a utility room next to the engine room. The utility room was full of dust and didn’t even have a bed. There were two old mattresses on the floor, which looked like they had been packed temporarily.

The captain, Lao Huo, said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, you two should feel wronged. I only received the order to take you to China Hong Kong City in the afternoon. The conditions are indeed a bit crude."

Master Yao collected [-]% of the money, and ended up arranging such a mouse nest. Sister Hong said with a displeased expression, "You call this a bit crude? We go to the toilet and eat? We don't even have a window to suffocate people." .”

"That won't work." Lao Huo scratched his head and said, "There is an iron plate on the splint at the exit of the engine wheel room. You can just lift the iron plate when it is convenient. As for eating and drinking, don't worry, you will have three meals a day in the morning, lunch and evening." no."

After explaining this, Lao Huo left us a walkie-talkie. He adjusted the channel of the walkie-talkie to 16, saying that only he can receive the conversation on channel 16, and other crew members cannot receive it.Let's call him directly if we have a situation.

Now it is very fast to take a boat from Shunde to Zhonggang, just a few hours.But it was relatively slow at that time, and the boat had to work and fish normally in order not to attract attention, so it was really slow, and it stopped and stopped like a snail.

Sister Hong is fine. 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 as much as possible. If you are in a panic, you can go to the plywood after one o'clock in the evening to get some air.

For the entire voyage, Lao Huo planned to arrive at China Hong Kong in seven days.Sister Hong and I ate good food in the utility room, all of which were seafood such as shrimp and fish.The guy who brought us our meals was also the young man who helped us carry our boxes onto the ship. He was Lao Huo’s nephew, nicknamed Dou Sprouts, and he was also one of the few people on the ship who knew that Sister Hong and I lived in the utility room.

Bean sprouts talk a lot in his early twenties. Seeing that sister Hong and I are listless all day long, he sometimes brings meals to us and chats with us. Bean sprouts told us a lot of sea stories, and I also told a few stories about our Northeast trip to Baojiaxian. Bean Sprouts was taken aback for a while by the story with Huang Pizi.

At around nine o'clock in the evening on the fourth day, Sister Hong and I were playing poker in the utility room to kill time, when suddenly the voice of the captain, Lao Huo, was eagerly speaking from the intercom.

"Two! Are you there? Please answer if you hear it."

I pressed the intercom, "What's wrong?"

"The situation is not good. An inspection is coming. I will try to spend a few minutes here. I will let Bean Sprouts pass by. You quickly follow Bean Sprouts and let him lead you into hiding!"

As soon as Lao Huo finished speaking on the walkie-talkie, there was a knock on the door from outside the door.

After opening the door, Bean Sprouts threw me and Sister Hong two raincoats in a panic, and he told us to put on the raincoats and let him go.

After leaving the engine room, Bean Sprouts whispered through the walkie-talkie: "Old uncle, old uncle, what's the situation now, can you go on the deck?"

After waiting for several minutes, Lao Huo's voice came from the red light of the small walkie-talkie.

"Yazai, that group is checking the form in the central control room. Hurry up and lead the two of them to hide in the fish warehouse. It will be over in 5 minutes!"

"Let's go! Let's go!" Bean Sprouts led me and Sister Hong through the small door of the engine room and onto the deck.

There is something like a manhole cover in the middle of the deck, and below it is the fish warehouse, which contains several tons of dead fish. The smell can kill people. When you open the manhole cover, there is a ladder. At the urging of Bean Sprouts, Sister Hong and I wore raincoats , Climb down in a panic.

"Boom." The surrounding area was smelly, slippery and greasy, the bean sprouts were covered, and the fish warehouse was plunged into darkness.

Almost at the same time, Sister Hong and I both heard voices coming from the splint.

"What are you doing? Why were you not there when you checked the list just now, where is your crew ID?"

I heard Lao Huo say, "Hey, I'm sorry, this is my nephew, Bean Sprouts. I called him just now, but he didn't answer. Is the walkie-talkie dead?"

Bean Sprout quickly said, "Uncle, did you call me just now? I didn't hear you. It seems that I forgot to charge the walkie-talkie last night."

Old Huo scolded with a smile: "You kid can't keep refreshments. How much will you say? 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 staff room to have a look?"

"Don't wait, there is a fish warehouse over there, open it for me to have a look."
