Chapter 386
Su Qingci saw through it but didn't say anything. She threw the gun in her hand to the ground with a look of horror on her face.
"I was scared to death."
"I killed someone."
"He put his head under my gun and said it was out of bullets. I, I don't know, pulled the trigger."
"What's going on? Aren't you guys in the same group?"
The three people present looked at Su Qingci, who was terrified and panicked, and their hearts slowly calmed down.
Sigui was terrified, but he still tried to comfort her, "Sister Su, don't be afraid. It's okay. I don't blame you. It's all their fault."
"We are not in the same group with them. They are just a bunch of cruel and ruthless beasts!"
Qianfu also quickly explained, "Miss Su, they tampered with the control room. They had no intention of driving the cruise ship inland. They were controlling the cruise ship to the island. They had ill intentions towards you, and we discovered them. They want to kill you to silence you."
Sigui nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, fortunately we are all fine."
"Sister Su, don't worry. You saved our lives. We are not the kind of people who will repay kindness with enmity."
Xu Dasheng looked at the captain who was already silent on the deck, and said to Sigui and Qianfu, "The wind is strong on deck. Take Miss Su inside first. I'll take care of this."
Qianfu was also smart. He quickly took a step and stood beside Su Qingci, blocking her sight.
"Miss Su, don't look. Let's go in first. Leave this to Uncle Dasheng."
When Xu Dasheng saw them walking towards the cabin, he bent down, carried the captain and threw him into the sea.
If this beast were allowed to survive, who knows how many people would be harmed and how many families would be destroyed.
Inside the cabin, Sigui and the others did not hide anything from Su Qingci and told her everything about how they were tricked into going out to sea.
"What? 2000? One life? Don't all of you know how to resist?"
Su Qingci widened her eyes in disbelief. 2,000 Benin coins, converted into RMB, is more than 400 yuan.
Four hundred yuan for a life. This is too immoral. Most of those who can't go back are the pillars of their families. If they lose this pillar, how will the rest of the family survive?
Dozens of people were driven into the deep sea willingly, and half of them died...
Sigui's throat choked. "They have guns, and more than one."
"We had a quarrel, but before it got going he opened fire on us, killing one of us instantly. Although we were outnumbered, they were also numerous."
"At that time, we had guns pointed at our heads. If we didn't go out to sea, we would die. If we went out to sea and didn't find a way to get fish, we would have no chance of getting on the boat. We had no choice but to fight."
"I didn't expect them to be anything but human. They set up one trap after another, and on their return trip, they set traps for those of us who had finally survived, luring us into gambling, then asking them to borrow money, and forcing us to sign unequal treaties by writing IOUs..."
Although the bad guy is dead, Sigui still looks indignant when he talks about it.
Qianfu would occasionally interrupt and add a few words.
After talking about the latter part, the two came back to their senses, "By the way, Miss Su, I am also a helmsman, although I haven't graduated yet."
"I'll reorient the boat for you..."
"No need." Su Qingci shook her head.
"Since you all said you're almost at the island, I'll take you there first."
Qianfu scratched his head in embarrassment. "Well, how can I be so embarrassed? You saved us and already..."
Su Qingci glanced at Sigui thoughtfully, "It just so happens that I also have to go to the island for something, and maybe I'll need your help then!"
"Sister Su is too polite. If you need anything, just tell me directly. You saved our lives..." Sigui quickly expressed his loyalty.
After the three tall guys were eliminated, everyone's relationship instantly became much closer.
I don’t know if Qianfu and Sigui were afraid of those three people before, but now that those three people are gone, the formerly melancholy boy instantly turned into a sunny boy and started talking more.
Su Qingci took the opportunity to ask Sigui, "You look only sixteen or seventeen, right? Are your family members comfortable letting you go out to sea with them?"
Sigui scratched his head and said awkwardly, "My family is short of money, and we didn't expect them to cheat us. When we recruited them, they said that if I went fishing with them for three months, I would get 1,000 yuan upfront after signing the contract, and another 1,000 yuan after returning."
"I thought it would only take three months, and my uncle Dasheng was going too, so I secretly signed up without telling my family. By the time my parents found out, the contract had already been signed."
"If I break the contract, I have to pay several times the amount of liquidated damages. My family has no choice but to agree to let me go to sea and let me listen to my uncle Dasheng in everything."
Su Qingci asked calmly, "Didn't you say before that you were from a fishing village too? You live off the land and the sea. Since you're such a good swimmer, your family can't be that poor, right?"
Sigui reached out and stroked the hull beside him with a complicated expression. "My father was a very hardworking and thrifty sailor, the best sailor in our area. As long as he was paid, he would take on any job, no matter how dangerous, hard, or tiring it was."
"My mother was in poor health, and I had a pair of younger brothers and sisters. We understood why my father worked so hard. Later, as we grew up, our family conditions improved, but he still worked so hard."
"He is always the first person in the village to go out to sea and the last to come back."
"Later I learned that my father had a dream. He wanted to buy a fishing boat that could go deep into the ocean."
"But that kind of thing is out of the reach of ordinary families like us. Many families, with two or three generations working together, can only afford a large hand-cranked fishing boat, but my father wants one with a high-powered engine. What's more, he's the only laborer in our family."
"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but my father's income was the highest in our fishing village, but our family was the poorest in the village. He sold all the fish he caught, and only the small fish and dead fish that couldn't be sold were kept for our family to eat."
"Two years ago, my father finally scraped together enough money. Someone heard he wanted to buy a deep-sea fishing boat, so they came to us and said they wanted to sell their boat."
Sigui lowered his head in melancholy. "I personally accompanied my father to see it. Compared to other fishing boats with wooden sheds, this boat's boxes are all reinforced with steel. Its wind resistance is several times that of other fishing boats."
"The owner took us to try out the boat. It doesn't require manual rowing, it's oiled, runs very fast, and the price is reasonable."
"I've never seen my father so happy. The other party said that something happened at home and they needed money urgently, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry to sell. My father took out all his life savings and borrowed a lot from others to buy the boat."
"Except for my mother, our whole family was very happy. We invited people to perform a ceremony. When the boat was launched, many people came to see it. Everyone was envious of the boat that ran so fast and was so sturdy."
"You know, even the government's armed reconnaissance boats can't catch up with us!"
"But the first time we went out to sea, the boat sank. We were deceived. It was a heavily modified fishing boat. It was fast because it was equipped with three defective high-powered engines."
"My father couldn't accept the result and collapsed on the spot."
