Lu Li and Tang Bin were walking quickly in the night. He thought they were going to fly back to the motherland, but he didn't expect Tang Bin to bring him to the pier. The salty sea breeze was blowing over him. Lu Li heard the sound of the freighter's horn and couldn't help but frown.

"Freighter?" He couldn't help asking Tang Bin.

"The airport is too conspicuous, we can't go." Tang Bin said, walked up to a dock worker, whispered to him a few words, the worker immediately led them forward, and stopped in front of a cargo ship, Tang Bin thanked him, then looked at Lu Li: "Let's go, this is the ship."

Lu Li looked at the containers and oil tanks on the freighter, and reluctantly followed Tang Bin: "If you go back to China with this, why don't you sit until the year of the monkey?"

"We're going to the port of Amsterdam."

"Holland?" Lu Li was stunned, but obviously Tang Bin didn't want to reveal any more. When they walked to the deck, Lu Li immediately smelled a strong smell of engine oil. He looked at the warning signs with Warning written on the containers and oil and gas tanks. As Tang Bin continued to move forward, he got into the cabin.At this time, a sailor stepped forward to negotiate with Tang Bin. Tang Bin said his name and showed the sailor a receipt.

"Stowaways, come with me." The sailor nodded hastily, led them inside, and opened a small door. There were people sitting there, and they were all black and Middle Eastern, and some of them were well-dressed. , There are also people who look poor and destitute, but their eyes are full of anxiety. At first glance, they are just like them, smuggled or escaped by this freighter.

"How long will the voyage take?" Lu Li couldn't help asking Tang Bin in Chinese.

"8 hours, very soon." Tang Bin said for a short time, and walked in first. He nodded politely to the others, and found an empty seat to sit down. Next to him was a fat man from the Middle East. And the place vacated for Lu Li was close to the door panel, which was indeed taking care of him as much as possible.

Lu Li followed suit and sat down. Immediately, he smelled the musty smell, the smell of sweat, and the choking smell of gasoline. He frowned and adjusted his breathing slowly. At this moment, Tang Bin moved closer to his ear. Said: "We are running for our lives, you just make up your mind, don't leave here, just go to the deck to get some wind, we may encounter patrol ships at any time."

"I know." Lu Li nodded. At that moment, the sailor closed the door, and the small space was immediately filled with darkness. People sighed, followed by a long silence.

At this time, with the sound of a whistle, the freighter started. Lu Li heard the loud noise of the freighter's engine. It seemed that they were hiding very close to the engine. The mechanical sound made his ears buzz, and he couldn't help rubbing his temples. , closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Li gradually felt that his lungs began to contract violently, which made him cough uncontrollably, but the sound of his own cough seemed very far away, so far away that it was like a funny action in a Chaplin comedy. There is no movement, only the huge background music, which is the humming of the turbine, rumbling——

Lu Li tried to open his mouth wide to relieve his oppressed lungs, but he soon realized that it was futile. The smell of sweat and engine oil in the small space made him want to throw up, especially after sailing for an unknown number of hours. , The air here is getting thinner, he almost feels that what he is breathing is not air, but some kind of poison, which makes his lungs twitch more violently.

"Breathe slowly, don't rush." ​​At this moment, Tang Bin's voice suddenly came from next to his ears. Because of the proximity, the hot air from his mouth wrapped around Lu Li's ears, but Lu Li unexpectedly didn't feel disgusted. Like a life-saving straw, he subconsciously rubbed towards this person's warm embrace. At this moment, Tang Bin hugged him like a big brother: "We're almost there, relax."

Although there was still a hopeless darkness in front of him, Tang Bin's relief miraculously supported Lu Li. He nodded, let Tang Bin stroke his back, and then leaned weakly in his arms.

"Don't sleep, Gu Li, think of something happy." Tang Bin squeezed his shoulder.

happy thing?

Lu Li frowned, and pictures slowly emerged in his mind, those pictures were bright and vivid——

He and Su Bai were walking on the path in the forest, he was afraid that he would trample on the little flower, so Su Bai held his waist carelessly, and he giggled at Su Bai...

He and He Ying learned how to shoot a gun, and He Ying stood behind him and supported his hand, aiming at the bull's-eye, both of them pulled the trigger at the same time, ten rings!He turned his head excitedly, but He Ying firmly stole a kiss...

He was grinding deer antler in the medicine hut, when Lan Muying walked in with a dark face, saying that he was never allowed to give him his own deer antler to drink again, he stood up with a smile on his face, and said shamelessly, "I don't!"

……

There were too many happy memories, and he gradually felt sweet air entering his lungs, and then he coughed violently.

"Thank you." Lu Li said sincerely.

"This smell is really unpleasant." Tang Bin muttered. He has been trained and is better than Lu Li in every aspect. He can barely see the outline of things in the dark. Lu Li's pale face is like a dark night. A round of small moon is the focus of his sight.Now this little moon is obediently leaning on his chest, changing his proud and defensive appearance during the day, Tang Bin has to admit that in this narrow cabin, the soft person in his arms and his body exudes bath liquid The peppermint smell makes him very comfortable.

Tang Bin followed Lu Li's back. Even though he was not good at talking and didn't like to talk too much, he still whispered to Lu Li's ear and chatted with him: "I remember you have a slight obsession with cleanliness."

"It's all a hypocritical problem, and we have to overcome it." Lu Li hummed, not sure if it was his own illusion, but Tang Bin's tone was a little gentle. Under the cover of this darkness, he pampered himself, relying on this man's help. She refused to get up in her arms: "What else do you know about me?"

Tang Bin frowned. He didn't like this topic very much, especially when he maintained such an ambiguous posture and knew that the other party was gay, it seemed like he was flirting.But he didn't have anything else to say. He couldn't tell the professor how life-threatening and bloody each mission was, right?

He needed good stories to hear, the frail man was reaching his limit.

Tang Bin told himself so.

"You don't like staying in bed, you get up before six o'clock every day, but you don't like exercising either. When you get up, you stand at the window and drink coffee, no milk or sugar, and sometimes you smoke a cigarette..." Tang Bin fell into a trap. Recalls that his observation ability is very keen. When he was at the base, he always got full marks for observing this test: "You have a slight cleanliness, you like to wear white clothes, you are nostalgic, and you will buy a lot of clothes of the same style Change one piece every day, but no one can tell that you have changed it. You like tulips, by the way, there are many such flowers in our destination, you can look forward to it..."

"You peeping tom..." Lu Li sighed helplessly, feeling that Tang Bin was describing him, but this person was not like him, he was a bit confused, and he couldn't figure out who was the real self.

"This is a mission." Tang Bin corrected, "I'm not particularly interested in you."

"You said it." Lu Li laughed. He couldn't see Tang Bin, but Tang Bin could vaguely see his smile.

"Before, you didn't like to laugh so much." Tang Bin whispered.

"Mr. Peeping Tom, your observation is meticulous, but what you see is my living habits, not me." Lu Li smiled and explained: "I don't like to stay in bed, maybe I just don't want to miss the morning sunshine, so I want to drink black coffee to prevent myself from being too sleepy and falling into bed again. I buy the same style of clothes not because of nostalgia, but because I don’t want to be seen by others when I don’t come home one night. I didn’t change clothes. There are also tulips..." Lu Li paused, "If it wasn't for being held hostage by you, I'd really look forward to our destination."

"Professor Jing," Tang Bin lowered his voice, his lips almost pressed against Lu Li's ear, "I didn't intend to disturb your life." He didn't know why he wanted to explain, and when he blurted out, it was too late to regret it: "I'm sorry."

"This has nothing to do with you," Lu Li smiled wryly, repeating what Tang Bin had always emphasized: "You are just performing a mission."

When the freighter finally docked, the sailors came to open the small wooden door, and the moment the light came in, cheers erupted in the narrow cabin. Lu Li rushed out of the cabin almost impatiently, and rushed to the deck, breathing heavily. The humid air made me almost cry with happiness.

Tang Bin followed him, not for the first time because he was afraid that this person would run away, but because his arms were suddenly empty, and he felt a strong sense of loss.He frowned, took a deep breath, looked towards the shore against the rising sun on the sea, and began to plan the route for a while.

He actually has two plans, one is to go to the Dutch airport immediately, and then fly back to China to report, the other is to be on the safe side, first find a place to settle down, contact the above, and wait for instructions from there.Tang Bin looked at Lu Li's back. At this moment, this person had come to life completely. He was standing on the deck, leaning on the side of the boat with both hands, squinting his eyes to enjoy the sea breeze and the tranquility of this moment. Feiyang was painted with a charming golden layer by the sun. This picture was so beautiful that Tang Bin was stunned for a moment.

But soon, he walked towards Lu Li and reminded, "We have to go, we can't afford to waste time."

Lu Li nodded. He yawned, his brows were full of tiredness. According to his usual habits, he should drink a cup of black coffee now.At this moment, Tang Bin decided to find a place to stay and let this person have a good sleep.
