I replied naively, "Xiaojing, 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 said unreasonably: "If you don't tell me what you are doing, if you don't tell you where you are, I will report you!"

Well, it’s better not to come this trip, it’s better to leave honestly.

Although I am young, I still understand a lot of people's feelings and worldly styles over the past six months, and I also know what to say and what not to say. After careful consideration, I lied and told Li Jing that our family is actually doing an indirect business.

In those two years, there were indeed many foreign goods in the southern region who made money. The industry was a bit gray, especially those electronic products. Seeing Li Jing stunned, I added: "Xiaojing, in fact, the Sony Walkman I gave you on your birthday was the foreign goods poured from home."

I felt relieved when I saw Li Jing's expression. She should have believed it a little, because Sony Walkman was very expensive, and the price was as high as an ordinary person's two-month salary. How could I afford a student who didn't even have a job?

After a few minutes, Li Jing cried again and said, "Xiang Yunfeng, where will I find you in the future? I don't plan to go to college anymore. I will go to work after graduating from high school next year. My mother said I was not good at studying and there might be no way out in college. It's better to go to the electronics factory as soon as possible."

"Don't." I looked at her and said, "Don't go to the electronics factory. If you want to go, it's useless. If you listen to me, you must go to college in the future. Knowledge will change your destiny!"

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

After thinking about it, Li Jing shook her head and said, "But my family is in a bad situation. I heard from one of my sisters that it costs more than 20,000 yuan for four years to go to college, and I may not be able to pass the exam."

I thought about it for a while and asked Li Jing to wait for me on the arch bridge. I rushed back to the hotel and got 20,000 yuan. I shared the money. Half of it helped Li Jing's family pay back the usury owed by his father, and there was not much left now.

vp.

I gave Li Jing 20,000 yuan and told her the address of my hometown Mohe.

Fearing that she would have a psychological burden, I said, "Xiaojing, then let's make an agreement. When you graduate from college in five years, you can go to Mohe to find me."

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

The money was spent, but I felt relieved at that time. In fact, it was all caused by early love. Now, looking back, nothing big is like separation from life and death. And when Li Jing and I met, she had changed a lot. Let’s talk about this later.

After about 1:00 am that night, a green Great Wall pickup truck arrived at the hotel on time. After loading two large wooden boxes, Sister Hong and I got on the pickup truck. We were going to a fishing boat arranged by Hongxing Fisheries.

It was a serious medium-sized fishing boat. I didn’t count my sister and I, and I, saw 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 directed the crew to help us move the boxes. When Sister Hong saw the place where she lived, she frowned and expressed dissatisfaction. Lao Huo asked us to live in a utility room next to the machine wheel room. The utility room was covered with dust and there was not even a bed. Two old mattresses were placed on the ground, which seemed to be temporarily cleaned up.

The captain Huo said embarrassedly, "Sorry, you two are just aggrieved. I only received an order in the afternoon to take you to Zhonggang City. The conditions are indeed a bit simple."

Master Yao closed 30% of his head, but he arranged such a rat nest. Sister Hong said unhappy: "You call this a little simpler? Are we going to the toilet and eating? We didn't even want to suffocate people to death."

"That won't be." Lao Huo scratched his head and said, "There is an iron plate on the plywood exit of the machine wheel room. When it is convenient, you can just lift the iron plate directly. As for the two of you, don't worry, you can eat and drink for three meals in the morning, no matter how much you eat or drink."

After explaining this, Lao Huo left us a walkie-talkie. He switched the walkie-talkie channel to 16, saying that only he could receive the conversation on Channel 16, but other crew members could not receive it. We asked him to call him directly if there was any situation.

It's very fast to take a boat from Shunde to Zhonggang, just a few hours. However, it was quite slow at that time, and in order not to attract attention, this boat also had to operate and fish normally. The driving was really slow, and the stop-and-go was similar to a snail.

Fortunately, Sister Hong, I was a land duck from the north for the first time on a boat and I was seasick that night. Lao Huo repeatedly told us not to go out. If we encounter inspections, we don’t have a crew certificate, it will be a big problem. Lao Huo said that he would be really frustrated and he could go to the plywood to get some breath after 1:00 in the evening.

During the entire voyage, Lao Huo planned to arrive at Zhonggang in seven days. My sister and I ate well in the utility room, and they were all seafood with shrimps and fish. The one who delivered the meal was also the young man who helped us carry boxes on the boat. He was Lao Huo's nephew, nicknamed Douyazai, and was also one of the few people on the boat who knew that Sister Hong and I lived in the utility room.

Douyazai talked a lot in her early twenties. Seeing that Sister Hong and I were listless all day long, he would sometimes bring food to chat with us. Douyazai told us a lot of stories from the sea, and I also told a few stories about Baojiaxian and Huangpizi, which made Douyazai stunned.

At around nine o'clock on the evening of the fourth day, Sister Hong and I were playing poker in the utility room and suddenly the sound of the captain Huo's anxious voice came from the intercom.

"Two! Are you here? Please reply when you hear it."

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

"The situation is not good, and some inspections are coming. I will try my best to spend a few minutes here. I will let Douyazi go there. You guys quickly follow Douyazi and let him lead you to hide!"

As soon as Lao Huo finished speaking on the intercom, Douyazi knocked on the door outside the door.

After opening the door, Douyazai threw two raincoats to me and Sister Hong in a panic. He asked us to put on the raincoat and he left.

After going out of the machine wheel room, Douyazai whispered on the walkie-talkie: "Uncle, uncle, what's the situation now? Can you go to the deck?"

After waiting for several minutes, the red light of the walkie-talkie sounded Lao Huo.

"Ya Zai, that group of people checked the forms in the central control room. You should quickly lead them to hide in the fish warehouse. It will be over in five minutes!"

"Let's go! Go quickly!" Dou Yazai led Sister Hong and me to push open the small door of the machine wheel room and went to the deck.

There was something like a manhole cover in the middle of the deck, and the fish warehouse was below. There were several tons of dead fish inside. It was so smelly that it could kill people. When I turned on the manhole cover, there was a ladder. Under Douyazi's urging, Sister Hong and I were wearing raincoats and climbed down in panic.

"Bang." The surroundings were stinking, slippery and greasy. The bean sperm covered the lid and the fish warehouse fell into darkness.

Almost at the same time, Sister Hong and I heard people talking from the plywood.

"What are you doing? Why are you not here when you checked the list just now, and where are you a crew certificate?"

I heard Lao Huo say, "Yeah, sorry, this is my nephew Dou Yazai. I called him just now, but he didn't reply. Is the intercom out of power?"

Douyazai quickly said, "Uncle, you just called me? I didn't hear it. It seems that I forgot to charge the intercom last night."

Lao Huo laughed and scolded: "You kid can't be more careful. You've been very good at saying that you don't just use the walkie-talkie and don't charge it. You just don't have a memory. How many people, why don't we go to the employee warehouse to check it out?"

"Don't be fine, there's a fish warehouse over there, please open it and take a look."
