The bonfire slowly rose on the iron deck, and a dozen people squatted on small horses in a circle, and the shadow of the flame jumped on everyone's face. Excitement, tension, nostalgia, all kinds of expressions were reflected more profoundly , everyone was intoxicated in this homecoming party.

As soon as Qiao Mengxing went out, his back was pushed forward.

"Xiao Xin, you are too shy, hurry up and have a drink with Brother Tian and the others." The man who woke him up just now came out of the cabin with a smile on his face.

After two or three years of wandering on the sea in a foreign country, the happiness of returning to my hometown is almost overwhelming. Although there are some minor frictions, everyone is full of energy when they think of the huge wealth they will get back home.

Binyu was very lucky, just in time for the explosive harvest season in the Peruvian fishing grounds. This is one of the world's three largest fishing grounds. It is worthy of their work across the ocean and day and night.

Qiao Mengxing understands that his current identity is "Xiao Xin", a former sailor of the coastal fishing boat.

And the brother Tian he was talking about was probably Tian Cai, Tian Wang's brother.

Tian Wang followed behind the man, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Qiao Mengxing and Ji Dongsheng. He didn't know what happened. He thought it was haunted, but who was so enthusiastic about haunting.

Qiao Mengxing adjusted the sub-camera on the collar to make it more concealed, so he boldly joined the carnival.

"Hahaha, Mu Qing is like an old woman, she never gets tired of waking Xiao Xin up every day." The man who looked a bit like He Tian Wang joked.

Li Muqing scratched his head: "Isn't this idle?"

When the three of Qiao Mengxing were seated, Tian Cai's chatter became more open.

And Tian Wang just stared blankly at his younger brother, the remorse and pain in his eyes could hardly be suppressed, but he couldn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

"That's great. After three years of hard work, I'm finally able to return to China." Tian Cai spat: "This job is really not done by humans. It takes a lot of energy to turn it upside down day and night. If it wasn't for the money, it would not even be as good as moving bricks." ah."

Li Muqing has a deep understanding: "It's really tiring, but it's worth it. It can be written in the contract that the commission for a ton of squid is 80 yuan."

He looked at Tian Cai enviously, and continued: "Brother Tian is still very good. He can catch five tons in a month. In the past three years, he has achieved [-] tons."

"Don't you want to go home early to find my brother? I also want to visit big cities." Tian Cai looked at his rough hands and said: "Experience is one aspect, the main thing is to be able to fight. I work twenty hours a day for a month, and just sleep for a while, if I can't bear it anymore, I can earn more."

Li Muqing gave a thumbs up.

Qiao Mengxing listened to it, and couldn't help admiring it. It was more than 20 yuan more than ten years ago, and what Tian Caide looked like.

Li Muqing counted his commissions on his fingers, and said as he deservedly said: "I only have more than 5000, but I still have a basic salary. Even if I can't catch one, I still have more than 3000 a year. That's pretty strong."

Tian Cai chuckled: "The people on the whole ship are all lack of money to work, they are so tired every day, as long as they have motivation, they can survive."

Tian Wang was already choked up, his dead brother was right in front of him, but he couldn't recognize him.

Qiao Mengxing pressed Tian Wang tightly, for fear that he would make any noise.

Li Muqing shifted his gaze to Qiao Mengxing, showing a warm smile: "Xiao Xin, we can finally go home."

Qiao Mengxing didn't answer, it sounded like the two of them knew each other very well.

"I remember that Wang Xin and you grew up together, right?" Tian Cai suddenly remembered.

"Yes, we are both from Gangzi Village. My mother is sick and needs money. He heard that he insisted on coming with her." Li Muqing rubbed Qiao Mengxing's head.

Ji Dongsheng stared at Li Muqing's hands as if he could kill...

"What about you, Yuanzi, what do you want to do when you go home?" Tian Cai looked at Ji Dongsheng again.

"Sleep." Ji Dongsheng withdrew his gaze and answered casually.

Tian Cai choked on him, but he was not annoyed, and turned to Tian Wang: "What about you, third child?"

Tian Wang paused: "Go home and apologize to my brother."

Just as Tian Cai was about to say something, he was interrupted by a burst of laughter.

"If you think about it, it's better to fill up the gas first, the gas tank is out of gas." A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks ended the originally warm conversation.

He didn't dare to use Tian Cai, because Tian Cai was very capable, and the performance of the entire ship was brought up by Tian Cai, and the third child was his own younger brother, so he could only find fault with others if he wanted to find fault.

The man turned his eyes to Qiao Mengxing: "Wang Xin, go, you're the only one who hasn't drunk, keep your hands steady."

Li Muqing rolled his eyes, he was almost at the village now, and he didn't want to conflict with Lei's second son.

"Let's go, I'll go with you." Li Muqing took Qiao Mengxing's hand and led him into the cabin. The design of squid fishing boats more than ten years ago is a bit hidden. The fuel tank is inside. If you don't look often, It's easy to forget to refuel.

Qiao Mengxing followed Ji Dongsheng's resentful eyes into the cabin.

The reason why he dared to be alone with Li Muqing, who didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost, was because he found a clue.

He suspects that what is being staged now is a reenactment of the scene from that year, and the whole ship is a ghost town.

What happened to cause such resentment among the people on board?

Soon he knew.

If you want to go to the fuel tank, you have to go through the captain's room. The captain and the first mate are both from the coastal fishing industry. They are not in the same way as Tian Cai and the others. They look down on these country people very much. Drink comfortably indoors.

"You actually hide wine, you really know how to enjoy it." Li Muqing looked in through the glass outside the door, although he said envious words, but his expression was very cold.

During these three years, they were not less angry with the captain.

"Lei's second child is just a douchebag. He hugs the captain's thighs and thinks who doesn't know. He bosses him around every day." Li Muqing snorted coldly, "Let's go, go cheer."

However, the next words in the captain's room made him stop.

The voice of the first officer said: "It can be regarded as returning to Hong Kong. This is the first time I have gone to sea with the company."

"You will know in the future, there are many things to pay attention to." The captain said, "Those mud legs are still interested in grilling, heh, when they land, they will cry."

"Brother Zhang, can you give me some advice?" the first mate asked humbly.

"Did you see the contract?" Captain Zhang was a little drunk, and he didn't have a clue, "It says that if you don't catch a squid, you will be offered a basic salary of [-]. [-] is not a small amount. How can the company do it?" Losing money trading."

"Oh?" The first officer's interest was aroused.

"The premise is that they didn't catch it, but didn't they catch it? Where did they get the basic salary? And if they caught it, the commission is another calculation. It's not as much as four or five thousand." The captain is very proud of the company's word play .

Hearing this, Li Muqing's face turned pale.

He didn't refuel, and led Qiao Mengxing out. After all, the young man couldn't hold back, so he immediately returned to the deck and told the story from beginning to end.

Now the crew members were all blown up. Who would have thought that after three years of wind and rain at sea, they would end up with nothing?

Lei's second eyeballs rolled around, apparently in a panic, not to mention Li Muqing, who had a seriously ill mother at home.

"Nonsense, nonsense!" Lei Laoer shook his head crazily, "Impossible, Li Muqing, what are your intentions, this is all in Binhai, what do you want to do?"

Li Muqing stared at him viciously: "Second Lei, I have tolerated you for a long time, don't beat me up, who doesn't know that you and the captain are in the same group, why, the flattering is so loud, is it because I gave you more money or something."

At this moment, the only one who is calm is Tian Cai.

"Don't panic." He stabilized the ten people on the deck. "In this case, let's confront the captain. I don't believe he dares to lie in front of so many people."

Tian Cai's words were unanimously agreed, and all crew members agreed with this decision.

Everyone flocked to the captain's room, so menacing that everyone would be afraid.However, the captain drank too much, and he always looked down on the rural people, so his arrogance was higher than usual.

"What's the matter, rebellion, this is it?"

Tian Cai said dissatisfied: "We just want an explanation."

He didn't poke Li Muqing out, but said vaguely: "There is something wrong with our contract, just tell us, can we still get the money we deserve when we go back to shore?"

Captain Zhang sneered: "I can get the one or two thousand yuan that I deserve."

As soon as the words were spoken, even the first officer knew what had happened.The captain lost his sanity because of drinking, under normal circumstances, he should stabilize the rioting crew first.

The first bomber was not Li Muqing, nor Tian Cai, nor the other crew members who also needed money, but Lei Laoer.

Lei's second child is a standard bandit, and when he heard this, he immediately called out with a big ear, and he didn't even make any noise, and started directly.

When the captain saw that it was Lei's second child who was following behind him, the captain immediately became annoyed and angry, and the two immediately fought into a ball.

Everyone's anger was also ignited by the captain's fight back, and they joined the battle together, even the first officer who was scared to death and hid far away was pulled over and beat them together.

They haven't set foot on solid ground for three years, and they work an average of more than ten hours a day just to make enough money to support their families. Many of them are at the end of their ropes.

Qiao Mengxing escaped from this chaotic battle to avoid being accidentally injured.

Hyundai owed money to migrant workers. It turned out that it had played this game more than ten years ago, and it was even more ruthless.

He already knew the next routine. If these crew members spoke out, they would not even be able to get the basic commission. For the sake of hush money, people in that era would basically keep silent.

Because money is so important, and they are small villages, so they really don't have the ability to compete with big companies.

At that time, there were no computers and no Internet. It was basically impossible to rely on word of mouth to prevent other people from jumping into the pit. As long as the advertisements were posted in another village, a large number of people would still be squeezed.

Most people think that it would be better to take the hush money and settle the matter, and take it as an opportunity to gain wisdom.

But the Binyu is different, the captain and the crew have deep grievances, the early exposure of the overlord clause, coupled with provocative words, became the first fuse of the Binyu tragedy.

This matter has a prototype, and more than twelve people died...
