Chapter 381

"Brother, it seems that the little girl is the only one on this cruise ship."

The captain listened to the tall man's words, looked at him, and instantly understood what he was thinking.

"Let's see first."

"Hello, is anyone there?" The three of them walked inside, asking loudly, their eyes glancing around and looking around the cabin casually.

Their shouting did not wake up Su Qingci, but instead woke up Sigui who was resting in the room.

He rubbed his eyes, rolled over and got up. The first thing he did was to check on Xu Dasheng next to him.

Seeing that his breathing was steady and his complexion looked much better, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gao Dafa and others heard the sound of a door opening behind them and turned around at the same time.

"Excuse me, I want to ask..."

"Hey, isn't this the bad boy who followed us out to sea?"

The tall man looked Sigui up and down. "Why are you here? Were you also rescued by that little girl on the boat?"

"Where is she?" the tall man said as he looked towards the room behind Sigui and looked at the quilt that was arched up on the bed.

Annoyance flashed in Sigui's eyes, "What are you doing? It's rude to run around and shout like this."

The tall man poked Sigui's forehead fiercely with his finger, "What's polite or not? Do you know what politeness is? We just want to thank her!"

"How long have you been up here? Have you met anyone else?"

As soon as Su Qingci came up from the bottom cabin, she saw the three "management" crew members surrounding Sigui's door.

"What?"

The tall guys turned around and looked at Su Qingci who appeared behind them, and immediately smiled.

"Thank you so much, girl. If we hadn't met you, we wouldn't know how long we would have drifted in the sea, and we wouldn't even be alive."

The other party started by thanking her, and Su Qingci could only politely say, "It's okay, it's okay. We are all compatriots. Besides, it was just a coincidence. If we meet, anyone would lend a hand."

The captain squeezed past the tall man and said in a gentlemanly manner, "This isn't just a simple helping hand. This is saving my life. Yes, it's a life-saving grace."

The three of them once again thanked Su Qingci sincerely.

All three of them were humble and polite, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

After knowing that Dalong was an excellent helmsman, Su Qingci asked him several professional questions in succession.

Dalong used sextant analysis to tell Su Qingci the approximate location of the cruise ship in the ocean.

Su Qingci was completely bewildered. She had come all the way from the north and had thought she could get home by driving back north...

Seeing that Dalong spoke very clearly, Su Qingci, who was a directionally challenged person, thought about it and took him to the control room, asking him to steer the ship and adjust the direction.

Everyone wants to go home, and before going ashore, she will provide fresh water and food.

Dalong looked at the complicated control console in front of him, skillfully controlled the hull and began to find the direction.

At the same time, he was explaining to Su Qingci the functions of the handle and buttons.

Qianfu on the deck also woke up quickly, and with his dizzy head, he walked towards the cabin.

He was not like the three tall men who sat in the lifeboat, nor was he like Sigui who changed clothes and ate food as soon as he got on the boat.

He had been soaking in ice water all night and fainted as soon as he got on the boat. He didn't know if he had caught a cold, but he felt dizzy and his whole body was as weak as noodles, unable to stand steadily.

He wanted to ask the boatman for some food.

Su Qingci knew that wealth should not be shown to others, so she only gave them enough dry food and water to survive every day.

That night, Big Tall and his men finally confirmed that Su Qingci was indeed the only one on the entire ship.

On the deck where the sea breeze was blowing, the three of them leaned on the railing and discussed in low voices.

"Brother, according to our current direction of travel, we will be taken back inland."

"Even if we get ashore, how to get home is still a big problem. Besides, what are we going to do after we get back? Are we going to risk our lives like those bad guys?"

The captain was silent. Since there was no communication between the two sides yet, it would be a big problem for them to go home.

What's more, they are now penniless and have no relatives or friends in the inland.

Seeing the captain was silent, the tall man tried to probe, "Brother, although this cruise ship is not as big as our fishing boat, its various equipment, whether it's the engine or the hull, are on a different level than ours."

The captain raised an eyebrow, "You mean?"

"Let's just have Dalong adjust the direction and head towards the island. Don't say she's just a little girl, and with a few more people, once we get to our territory, we have the final say."

"By then, not only will the issue of returning to the island be resolved, but with this cruise ship, we won't be left with nothing."

"We can recruit fewer crew members, stick to our old business, and slowly build up our business."

The captain listened to the tall man's words, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes. "Dalong, take control of the cruise ship and head towards the island."

"The Ghana sank. You should know that even if you return, no one in the industry will dare to hire you except me."

Dalong raised his eyes to look at the captain, and seeing him staring at him sternly, he nodded silently.

That night, Dalong secretly changed his driving direction and headed towards the island.

.......

In the crowded train station, the tall Xu Tieniu squeezed out from the exit.

The familiar streets before my eyes have changed drastically.

Xu Tieniu put the luggage bag at his feet, took off his hat, brushed off the dust on it, and then put it back on. He pushed the brim down to cover the scar at the corner of his eye, and also to block out his hawk-like eyes.

After finding the right direction, he picked up the luggage bag on the ground and strode away.

From the train to a long-distance bus, then to a short-distance bus, and then to a shuttle bus.

Finally we arrived at the destination of this trip - Taiping Commune, Xiangnan Brigade.

When they arrived at Xiangnan Village, Xu Tieniu, who had always looked fierce, suddenly subsided, slightly bent his straight back, raised the corners of his mouth, and immediately turned into an honest old comrade.

He strode towards the village with the note in his hand.

It was afternoon, and children were chasing and playing on the roadside. Smoke was rising from the roofs of many houses.

"Uncle, who are you?"

A seven or eight-year-old child covered in mud stood in front of Xu Tieniu and asked with a confused look on his face.

Xu Tieniu lowered his head and grinned, then patted his little head, "So good."

"Uncle is here to look for someone. Are you from the Xiangnan Brigade?"

"yes!"

"Then do you know which way is the captain's house?"

"If you answer correctly, I'll give you a candy."

"I know."

The other two children's eyes lit up, and they mustered up the courage to come over, "I know too, uncle, I know too!"

"Go away, I said it first, hum."

"Uncle, come with me. I'll take you to the captain's house."
