"Is this boat leaking? Why does it feel so shaking? Did it just have two holes punched in it?" the young man asked, grabbing the bed rails.
No one paid any attention to him.
After a while, he asked again: "Is the door of our cabin bulletproof..."
He didn't admit that he was afraid, at least not now. The young man didn't think he was afraid. He had been in the fishing port for so long and had been out to sea before. The most exaggerated one was when a few of them had a fight with other "gangs" on a fishing boat, and the two fishing boats collided, causing a big fight.
He kept talking, making small talk, so that he could feel more at ease.
Except for him, the other three said nothing.
…
The cabin of the iron ship was very small. Four people lived in two hard sleeper beds similar to those on a green train, but much narrower than that. If four people wanted to go out, they had to go out one by one.
It was past two in the middle of the night, the boat was shaking, and it was raining heavily outside, so no one could sleep.
Young people talk the most, but that doesn’t mean others are not anxious.
If the Viagra incident had not happened, Brother Qi would definitely tell the young man to shut up and wait until he wakes up to talk about the big things.
But it was already impossible now, and Brother Qi himself was speechless.
He thought of many ways, but none of them worked. He didn't know how to reply to the young man, let alone what to say.
Precisely because Brother Qi has experienced so much, he knows that the current situation is a dead end. Zhang Zuo has exposed his military power. Now, Zhang Zuo’s deterrence is not a deterrence for the future, but for the entire process.
He planned to take a rest. Whether he lived or died would be decided tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, he would have another conversation with Zhang Zuo.
…
The boat swayed rhythmically, and the sound of the engine did not feel noisy at all, but instead gave people a very safe feeling.
There are too many enemies now, and Zhang Zuo is naturally the most important one, but no one has forgotten their current situation.
The biggest challenge at hand is the storm, and beyond that is the police who may show up at any time.
The young man was not sleepy at all. At his age, he could even stay up for two nights. He was annoyed but couldn't say it, so he stuck his head out and looked around.
In the dark cabin, the three quiet companions were his only confidence.
Just then, he vaguely heard sobbing.
Is someone crying?
The young man suddenly became anxious. It was Yongren, Yongren was crying!
"Why are you crying?" the young man asked loudly.
Still no one paid any attention to him.
“Why are you crying…Why are you crying…Why are you crying!” The young man suddenly became anxious. He didn’t know why, but when he heard Yongren crying, he was more scared than Yongren.
The young man didn't know what state he was in. I haven't cried yet, how can you cry! I am the youngest here, I am complaining, can't you just keep quiet and be calm? You cried! You actually cried!
The young man felt that one of his backers had fallen, and he couldn't help but look at Brother Qi, but he couldn't see clearly.
"Brother Qi! Say something! Yongren is crying! Why is he crying? It's not a big deal for us. We will reach the shore tomorrow, right? Brother Qi, say something!" The young man couldn't control his emotions.
"Go to bed early." Brother Qi replied expressionlessly, "We'll talk about it tomorrow."
If Yongren hadn't cried, the young man would have been fine, but at this moment he had no control over himself. But no matter what, Brother Qi's words still gave him some confidence.
But in this way, Brother Qi’s breath was almost worn out.
No one is not afraid of death, especially since Wei Ge disappeared so quietly, how could Brother Qi not be afraid?
The two men under Zhang Zuo are not capable people. If they want to get rid of Wei Ge silently, they must have some weapons.
Just as I was feeling upset, someone knocked on the cabin door.
"Brother Qi!" The young man was terrified, as if someone outside was pointing a gun at him.
Brother Qi wanted to set an example as the big brother, so he opened the hatch directly. The boat was still shaking. Brother Qi turned on the dim lights and saw that there was only one person, Wei Ge's younger brother, outside.
"Come in." Brother Qi called.
The cabin was already small and no one could move. Brother Qi had to go back to his bunk and lie down, otherwise there would be no place for newcomers to stand.
"Brother Qi, after thinking it over, the four of us believe you." The man closed the door.
The person who spoke was the man who had beaten Zhang Zuo before. He was in his 30s, bald, and had tattoos.
He was the most afraid because he knew that if he beat Zhang Zuo, Zhang Zuo would not leave him alive tomorrow even if he let everyone else survive.
The four of them were also in the cabin, but they were communicating all the time. After much thought, they decided that they had to form an alliance with Brother Qi. After all, Brother Qi was the only person they could truly rely on.
They had also seen Brother Qi and the others at Zhang Zuo's place before. The boat was so small, and Brother Qi and the other four had acted together before, so they would not have failed to see it. So, after analyzing for a long time, they concluded that Brother Qi and the others had no need and were unlikely to harm Wei Ge, so it must be that Zhang Zuo wanted to establish hegemony in advance.
If it was before, Brother Qi might not open the door. He would let these four people fight Zhang Zuo and reap the benefits, but now it is impossible. He knows that the four people including Guangtou don't have the courage to do it alone, and if he doesn't cooperate, his brothers will soon be unable to bear it.
"We must give it a try!" The bald man went straight to the point. He was the most anxious.
"Tell me about your plan." Brother Qi did not object.
"It's not too late now. By 3:30 in the morning, Zhang Zuo and the others will definitely be asleep. His cabin door isn't very strong, so we can pry it open in a flash and rush in!" The bald man glanced at Brother Qi: "His cabin is the biggest one. I'll go in first. Brother Qi, you stand behind me and I'll go in second. How about that?"
The bald man looked at Brother Qi expectantly, and Brother Qi nodded and agreed.
The bald man felt that he had miscalculated. His original intention was to provoke Brother Qi. After all, Brother Qi was the eldest brother and he would definitely stand in the front. But he didn't expect that Brother Qi was not stupid at all.
"I'll give you a suggestion. There are a lot of things on this ship. You'd better find a steel plate that is one-third the size of this hatch. Don't make it too big, or it will get stuck easily. It can be used as a weapon, and it can also block bullets." Brother Qi said, "I don't want you to get hurt."
"I'll figure out a way to do this." The bald man gritted his teeth and nodded: "Then it's settled. Everyone can see the time, right? Check your watches."
After adjusting the time, the bald man opened the door and left. He still had to continue to win over other people.
"Yongren, when you go out with him, you still have to pay attention to him. Can you stop crying?" Brother Qi said.
"I'm fine..." Yongren wiped his nose with his clothes and slowly got up from the bed.
He was a little worried, not knowing what Brother Qi meant, whether he doubted him or trusted him, but he still suppressed his "fear", put on his clothes, stood up and walked out.
