Catch the wind

Cheng Wu squatted next to a small campfire, and because he bought a blade at the pier in the morning, he was finally able to shave off half of his beard.His eyes stared straight at the flames, and he didn't want to live for a while.

He thought he must be possessed by a ghost, otherwise why would he have listened to Lin Zisen's words in the first place?In fact, he has always liked Ye Xueshan, the little boss, and Ye Xueshan treats him very well, so what did he have?He had nothing at first, but it was Ye Xueshan who lifted him up and made him rich and powerful day by day while riding a horse and carrying a gun.

He is not short of money, a big man in the tobacco business, who has a gun in his hand, how can he be short of money?But for some reason, he believed Lin Zisen out of obsession.After all kinds of hardships, the first officer was forced to drive the freighter into the port, and then desperately unloaded the ship full of smoke and dust.This was not over, they had to sail the ship back to the sea - such a big ship, he didn't know how he sank it!

The moment he left the sunken ship in a sampan, he suddenly burst into tears.He has been running with this boat for more than a year. The boat is old, but there is nothing wrong with it. He is not afraid of any wind and waves. He goes out empty and comes back full.It was so good, it was sunk by myself.Who am I worthy of?I am not only sorry for the young master, but also for this ship!Money, money, for money, why are you so unconscionable?Looking back and seeing the freighter slowly tilting and sinking into the ocean, he wished he could plunge into the sea with the killed first officer.

Lin Zisen squatted opposite Cheng Wu, holding a newly opened tin can in his hand.While chewing, he glanced at Cheng Wu, he had already noticed that something was wrong with Cheng Wu.

Cheng Wu has a different mind, he thought calmly, but it doesn't matter, Cheng Wu has made the best use of everything.Although Cheng Wu is brave and foolish, he is very prestigious.Lin Zisen used Cheng Wu to solve a cargo ship. Now Cheng Wu's prestige is useless. Useless prestige is a thorn in the flesh, because one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

I don't know what kind of processing the meat in the can has, it crumbles in the mouth and has no fragrance at all.Lin Zisen snorted and ate the whole can, then unscrewed the kettle on the floor, and poured a few mouthfuls of cold boiled water with his head up.He couldn't tell the specific name of this place, but he only knew that it was in Myanmar.Not far away is the harbor wharf, a perpetual mess from morning till night, a lawless place to be.

Not far away was a bonfire, surrounded by the rest of the boys and an interpreter, who were eating in silence.Lin Zisen glanced at them, then lowered his head and put down the kettle.When his fingertips touched the hard handle of the knife, he swung the knife expressionlessly, and slashed at Cheng Wu's head with one blow!

The knife is a rough thin knife, but Lin Zisen swung it with a cold light.It was too late for Cheng Wu to hide, so he subconsciously raised his hand to block it.Lin Zisen's strength was too strong, only a soft "cha" sound was heard, one of Cheng Wu's arms broke off at the elbow, and sparks were thrown on the bonfire.

Cheng Wu screamed and jumped up, but Lin Zisen missed the blow, got up and slashed again, the blade was caught in the cold wind quickly.Cheng Wu was unarmed, and half of his arm was chopped off. How could he fight back?Turning sideways to avoid the knife, he didn't dare to count on his subordinates to help, so he turned around and ran away.Lin Zisen knew that Cheng Wu was up to no good, but he didn't expect the other party to escape after being seriously injured.Surrounded by tall and short trees, he didn't dare to chase after him. He turned around and looked at the rest of the guys. They were like a group of chickens waiting to be slaughtered, staring at him stupidly with their eyes open and their mouths open.

Lin Zisen was holding a bloody dagger, and his figure looked unusually tall, taller than a tree.Smiling condescendingly, he said concisely: "Cheng Wu is disobedient, it's none of your business."

Cheng Wu is the leader, once Cheng Wu is gone, the shrewd and vicious guys will lose their backbone.Rebellion is useless, everyone shoots, and everyone's hands are dirty; there is no arrow to turn back, and it is too late.

In the next few days, Lin Zisen searched for Cheng Wu all over the world.With Cheng Wu injured like that, he shouldn't be able to escape far, but he searched and searched, but couldn't find it.

In the smoky and chaotic port, Lin Zisen got in touch with the buyer of smoke and soil by the way.There is no need to worry about selling things like smoked soil, not to mention that he doesn't want to pay a high price.Hundreds of boxes of tobacco were sold at a time, and he and his guys went straight to Yangon with a huge amount of pounds.

The fellows were also well-informed. At this time, they each received a huge sum of money and deposited it in the British bank.After living in Yangon for two or three days, Lin Zisen taught them how to speak after returning home sentence by sentence.How the ship hit the rocks, when it hit the rocks, where it sank, how many people died, and how many people escaped, all are clear.There are also people who don't want to go back to the country anymore, and plan to wander around and live a happy life.Lin Zisen doesn't force him, he leaves when he likes, stays when he likes.

Lin Zisen and others traveled by land, which was faster than ships.Before the freighter loaded with Indian tobacco arrived in Qingdao, he had already got off the train in Tianjin.

He returned to Ye Mansion with ease, just in time for Ye Xueshan to sit in a daze in the living room wrapped in a nightgown.When the two sides met suddenly, Ye Xueshan raised his head and stared at him, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Zisen." He was obviously angry, his voice was hoarse, and he could only hiss: "It's good to be safe, come here, come here."

Lin Zisen stood on the spot with a few fellows and did not move.Bowing his head to Ye Xueshan, he opened his mouth and replied: "Master, I'm sorry for you. The boat is gone, the cargo is gone, the people are gone, and we are the only ones who came back alive."

Ye Xueshan raised his eyes to look behind him, and then made a voice like a stream of air: "Cheng Wu... is gone?"

Lin Zisen replied coldly and calmly: "No more."

Ye Xueshan closed his eyes, then stretched out a hand: "Zisen, come and sit down."

Lin Zisen turned sideways and waved at the guys, then walked around the coffee table and sat beside Ye Xueshan.The guys backed out silently, Ye Xueshan closed his eyes again, and leaned back limply.Groping and grabbing Lin Zisen's hand, he was running a fever from head to toe.

The cause he valued the most was swallowed up by the ocean for no reason!The ship, the smoke, the sailors, the men... are worth millions, and they will be gone if they are gone.

There is also an inestimable human life - Cheng Wu's life, also gone.

"What happened?" He asked angrily, "Why did you hit the rocks?"

Lin Zisen didn't make a sad look like a mourning concubine, that was too exaggerated and not in his character.With a long sigh, he slowly began to talk about the cause and effect.Everything is justified, the ship hit the rocks where it should, and sank where it should have sunk.His mind is meticulous, because if the time and place are slightly changed, the fact that he hit the rocks will lose its rationality.The number of sampans used for escape on board was so limited that there was a brawl and gunfire at the same time as the ship sank.With Cheng Wu's skill, how could he fail to grab the sampan?So of course he was shot coldly from behind.

As for the captain's mate and others, Lin Zisen admitted calmly: "The sampan is too small and will be sunk, so I pushed them down. If we don't push them, we have to push our buddies."

There is a long story behind, every detail is like a most logical adventure.People died one after another, from the sea to the shore, and finally there was only a small gang of them left. Fortunately, they still had gold banknotes with them, so they could return decently.

Ye Xueshan listened without saying a word, his mind roared from time to time, not because of fear, but because of illness.He has been ill for several days, because Lin Zisen has not heard from Lin Zisen since he sent the telegram.He guessed that Lin Zisen couldn't die easily, but who would be sure if he was alive or not?

Day and night, he was always haunted, and even opium could not completely calm him down.The loss was so heavy, the Golden Crane Pavilion disappeared without a trace, and Mr. Hardy had no idea, but how much did the two of them pay together for the company established by the three parties?One ship sank, but the other ship was intact. Even if they paid, the compensation was limited!

Ye Xueshan was different.If such a blow comes again, the company will go bankrupt immediately.Jinheting and Mr. Hardy have their own businesses, and they can continue to do their old jobs without selling tobacco.What can he do?Over the past few years, he has only learned how to sell cigarettes.

The sickness in the heart flares up and becomes a sickness in the body.He was about to break his heart, but he didn't even have anyone to confide in.Gu Xiongfei left again, to Weihai; it is useless not to leave, he has always only succeeded and never failed in front of Gu Xiongfei.Even if you have bad luck, you will die if you have a hard mouth.

Tilting his head and half-opening his eyes, he stared blankly at Lin Zisen.Lin Zisen was so thin that he was on airs, his eye sockets were sunken, and there were a few shallow blood scabs on his forehead.

"As long as the green hills are here, I'm not afraid of running out of firewood." He hissed to comfort Lin Zisen: "It's good to be alive. Anyway, we still have a boat, and a boat is enough."

Lin Zisen looked at him fixedly, knowing in his heart that he still had a boat.

Ye Xueshan was dizzy for a while, leaning on the sofa unable to move, and continued after a while: "I'm relieved when you come back. Otherwise, I'm in a hurry... I haven't gone out for a few days, and I'm afraid people will laugh at me. Sinking a ship and dying of illness...I've already lost my money, I can't lose face anymore..."

Having said that, he stopped and took a breath: "It's a pity that Cheng Wu..."

Lin Zisen suddenly stretched out his arms to hug him, hugging and strangling him fiercely, as if he wanted to rub him into his body.Ye Xueshan didn't come up in one breath and passed out, he didn't realize it either.
