He worked hard and was from a lower-class background, so he was "someone who could be relied upon." He was quickly spotted by the thief in charge, and was sent to clean up the toilets and sewage in the prisoner camp No. A. This job is much easier than working as a porter at the dock, and the food can be eaten in the prison camp No. A: the food there is better than that of the prisoner labor team on the dock. 【Read the latest chapter】
The prisoners in the No. A prisoner camp were all the identified key members of the Zheng Group and their families. Most of them were captured from Anping. They were men, women, old and young. They lived in temporary huts and tents. There are all pampered people here, so everyone will inevitably be in a state of embarrassment. However, the bandits treated them preferentially. They were not asked to work, and their food was better than that of ordinary prisoners. Those who were sick were treated in time. Each person was also given some replacement clothes.
Ning Liujin worked in prisoner camp A for a few days and became familiar with the people there - he was from the local area, and the Zheng Group was mainly composed of southern Fujianese from Zhangquan. There used to be a huge disparity in identity and status. To the people in the No. 1 prisoner camp, people like Ning Liujin were even more insignificant than ants and weeds. But now that he can move around freely, the thieves seem to trust him more, so Ning Liujin suddenly became a person of considerable status in the prisoner camp. Many people called him "Liuguan'er" - in the past, anyone who would call him "Liujin" was very polite and very tall. It's up to him.
Ning Liujin went in and out of the prisoner camp every day, and slept in a labor camp outside the prisoner camp at night. This camp was filled with local people and prisoners who had recently taken refuge with the "Kun Bandits". They provided various services to the Australians. They range from working as a coolie to being a Hokkien translator and guide. Because of Ning Liujin's good performance, he gradually stopped doing dirty and heavy work and began to switch to better jobs, such as delivering items to the kitchen and doing laundry. He had a great time doing it. I had enough to eat and no one was beating or scolding me. I felt that such a life was really good.
Because the Labor Camp of the Leading Party has just been established, the system is not perfect, and various departments are constantly calling on the personnel inside to dispatch workers. Therefore, the security here is not tight, and entry and exit are very casual. As long as a small wooden sign is hung around the neck, Can be smooth and boring. The people sent to guard the camp of the leading party were members of the White Horse Team, who did not understand the language. Just maintaining basic order in the camp. This gives a quick-thinking person a lot of freedom of movement.
On this day, he delivered ingredients to Prisoner Camp No. A and walked to the beach with a pole. He wanted to take advantage of the low tide to go to the sea and get some seafood to satisfy his craving. There were several large rocks on the beach. There will be a lot of shellfish left when the tide recedes, and sometimes you can get stranded fish and shrimp if you are lucky.
As he wandered among the rocks, he vaguely felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, and then lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, but Ning Liujin woke up.
Everything around me was dark and full of rocks, and there was a vague light, but I couldn't see it clearly. He barely supported his body and sat up.
This is a cave-like place. Surrounded by dark, rugged rocks, they were all wet. A little light comes in from the top,
He stretched out his hand and felt around. The ground beneath him was sand. He calmed down and listened. It seems that the faint sound of waves can be heard.
Ah, this is a hole in a seaside rock!
Ning Liujin grew up by the sea and is very familiar with this kind of cave. He stood up slowly, using a little light and groping with his hands and feet. It soon became clear that the hole was not big, and he quickly felt the entrance. But the entrance to the cave has been tightly blocked by stones.
"Why did you knock me out and lock me in a cave?" He couldn't figure it out.
He couldn't remember anyone he had enmity with. He was not even a small person in the Zheng Group, and was as dusty as a person. If it's an Australian, it's a matter of one sentence who they want to kill and who they imprison, so why make it so mysterious.
As if to answer his suspicion, a beam of white light suddenly shone on the dark sandy ground, and the stone at the entrance of the cave was removed.
Only then did he realize that the entrance of the cave was as tall as one person, and three or four men came in from the entrance of the cave. All were naked, wearing only their underpants. Everyone wraps a handkerchief around their face. The light was weak, so he couldn't see the person's face clearly, and there was no time for him to look carefully.
"What's your name?" One of the leaders asked him in Minnan dialect.
"Ning...six pounds."
"Who does it belong to?"
Ning Liujin told the name of his distant relative, but the other party obviously didn't know it. Ning Liujin had to say that he didn't know it either. He only knew that the ship owner always used the surname of his superior leader Zheng.
There are many people with the surname Zheng in the Zheng Group, so it's as if they didn't say anything.
"Dishonest guy! Beat him!" Several men shouted in unison and rushed towards Ning Liujin.
"Don't hit the little one, the little one is telling the truth!" Ning Liujin shouted, holding his head in his hands and curling up on the ground based on his years of experience in being beaten.
"Forget it, don't hit him." The leading man said, "He is probably a boy on the ship. Even the captain himself is an ant-like figure."
He then asked: "Boy, if I ask you a question, you must answer it honestly. Otherwise, I will leave you in this hole - the tide will be high in half an hour!"
Such reef caves on the seaside will be submerged by the tide at high tide. If you are trapped inside, you will be drowned alive.
"All the little ones say it! All the little ones say it." Ning Liujin replied.
"Are you working as an errand for the bandit Kun in the No. A prisoner camp?"
"Yes...yes..." Ning Liujin was frightened for a while, seeing that the other party sounded like he was from the Zheng family. He has been working hard for the Australians these days. Are they going to kill him to scare the monkeys? A wave of fear surged into his heart, and he immediately fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing and begging for mercy:
"Master, have mercy! Master, have mercy! I have no choice but to work for the thief. If I don't work, I will be beheaded. I am afraid of death and covet a few good meals. I am not suitable to work for the thief - but I have never done anything right." The matter of not living in the Zheng family..."
"You have committed a heinous crime by working for the bandits!" the leader of the men said viciously, "It is appropriate to hang you on a stone and sink you into the sea..."
"Master, have mercy! Master, have mercy!" Ning Liujin was so frightened that he almost peed his pants and kowtowed repeatedly.
Just when he was out of his mind and thought he was about to die, there was a crashing sound and a pile of things was thrown in front of his eyes. Ning Liujin took a closer look and saw that it was more than twenty pieces of silver.
He has seen silver ocean before. Shipowners sometimes use this bright white silver piece to pay sailors - of course he can only see it. But even if he could be the second-in-command on the ship, he would only get eight yuan of silver every month. Now he had more than twenty yuan in front of his eyes!
He raised his head and looked at the leading man in confusion.
"Here is twenty-five yuan." He said, "As long as you do a few small things for me honestly, not only will the merit be reduced, but the silver will also be yours."
"I don't dare..." Although Ning Liujin was scared, he knew in his heart that what the Zheng family wanted him to do was definitely not a trivial matter, it was probably something that would make him lose his head. But there was no room for him to bargain at the moment, so he quickly said, "But it depends on the master's orders!"
"When you were in Camp A, did you see a boy there, about 10 years old?"
"There are many of the master's family members in Camp A, and there are many young boys. I don't know which one the master is talking about?"
"His nickname is Fu Song, and some people call him Zheng Sen."
"Oh, you are talking about Master Fusong!" Ning Liujin nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, there is a maid to serve him."
"What did the thief do to him?"
"Very good..." Ning Liujin probably felt that this was inappropriate. He paused and then said, "Kun Ze arranged a separate tent for him and the maid. It's good to eat every day, and there is a separate kitchen for cooking..."
"Has anyone told you who he is?"
"No, I don't dare to ask more..."
"You will take one of our men to find Fusong in Camp A later..."
Ning Liujin's feet went weak when he heard this, and he stammered and evaded: "Well, well, Camp A is heavily guarded. People without a sign can't get in. I'm afraid a few people will be affected. I think..."
With a "swish" sound, someone showed off a sharp dagger, and Ning Liujin immediately swallowed the rest of his words.
"Don't worry," the leading man said with a ferocious smile, "We know everything about Camp A and the Labor Camp, and we also know everything about you running in and out to work for the bandits. You Let’s be clear, who are you? Don’t think that just because you have a small wooden sign hanging around your neck, you are working for the thief. If you die, the thief will just treat you like an ant and a bug. There are no ants like you on Kinmen Island. There are also five thousand in ten thousand. We have killed many unscrupulous people in the past few days. Do you think who did Kun Thief think of? Hang a stone around your neck and throw it into the sea, and you will go to work as an errand for the Sea Dragon King..."
"Yes, yes, the villain is just a bug and an ant..." Ning Liujin was so frightened that he was sweating and kowtowed, "Young man, just go and find a solution!"
Several people took a straw bag and wrapped it around his head and upper body, then pushed him away. He felt the sea breeze blowing on him, heard the cry of seagulls, and felt soft under his feet, as if he had already reached the beach outside.
I was driven for a long distance before someone took off the bag. He blinked, this was exactly where he came to catch the sea.
"When will you go to Camp A?" the leader asked.
Ning Liujin could only say: "Tonight, I am going to deliver rice."
"Okay, what should you do now? Come here before sending the rice." He said viciously, "Don't make random decisions, we know everything."
