At that time, I thought it was over. In the darkness, Sister Hong pulled my arm and gasped. I could feel that her muscles were stiff and she was also nervous.
What should I do...What should I do? I can't just sit and wait for death.
I had an idea and came up with an idea that was not an idea.
Lao Huo was shouting loudly on the deck, clearly warning Sister Hong and me.
I heard Dou Sprouts talking.
"The fish warehouse is full of dead fish and the smell is overwhelming. I think you should stop looking at it."
"Hey, I said you talk so much. We are doing a routine inspection. Open it if you are asked to open it. Open it quickly and stop talking nonsense!"
Unable to hide it anymore, Douyazai first deliberately knocked on the iron plate twice, and then directly lifted the iron plate.
Immediately, several bright flashlights swung downwards.
The captain, Lao Huo, laughed and said: "Look at these guys, they are all dead fish that haven't had time to be frozen. The smell is so delicious. There is a ladder here. Why don't you go down and check it out."
The strong flashlight swayed back and forth for a minute or two, and then I heard someone say: "Okay, the inspection is completed, turn it off, we won't go down anymore, please report in time if there is any situation."
Lao Huo covered the iron plate with a clang. He stepped on the iron plate with one foot and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand. If there is any situation, I will report it to you. Have you guys eaten? Why don't I pack up some fresh food and everyone can have some?" Have a drink?”
"No need." The voices of the group of people spoke further and further away.
As soon as the people left, Sister Hong and I jumped out of the pile of dead fish.
We were so smoked that we couldn't help retching. I felt that the smell of dead fish was in my nose, eyes, and ears, and I was about to vomit out the guts. If anyone wants to try this smell, you can buy a fish and keep it for a week in the summer, then hold the fish in bed and cover your head. After smelling it, you will be sure to remember it deeply.
After the inspection team left, Douyazi pulled Sister Hong and I out of the fish barn. We were so dizzy from the smoke that Lao Huo arranged for someone to give us several bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, saying that drinking some of it would refresh our minds.
After she recovered a little, Sister Hong asked Lao Huo with a dark face: "How long until we arrive."
Lao Huo said categorically, "We will definitely be able to arrive at Zhonggang Pier at around seven o'clock tomorrow evening."
I asked: "Captain, our cargo has not been inspected, right?"
"Don't worry, everything is fine. I put those two boxes in the crew room and decorated them as wardrobes, so they didn't notice them."
"But... let me ask one more question, what kind of goods are you carrying in the box?"
"If you ask questions even if you know you're talkative, I can just take your money with peace of mind. Don't ask anything you shouldn't." Sister Hong was still angry with Zhuan Yucang.
The rest of the day went without any further mishaps. When we were approaching Zhonggang Pier, we could hear the sound of many ship whistles in the distance, and the fishing boats slowly docked.
Boss Sun came to pick it up in person. He rented a closed seafood wholesale truck and found a truck driver. He also drove a Nissan.
"Yunfeng, Xiaohong, thank you for your hard work, this trip won't be easy."
"Brother, why didn't you see the leader?" I looked at him and asked.
"The head is talking to someone. I will take you to the place where you are staying to rest. There are some situations that are not convenient to talk about now."
Lao Huo and Douyazai helped us load the boxes into the minivan. Boss Sun waved his hand and asked Sister Hong and me to get into the Nissan.
I asked doubtfully: "Brother, won't our goods follow you?" I pointed to the small seafood wholesale truck.
Boss Sun shook his head and said: "We can't leave. This matter still needs to be handled. Yunfeng, you think you don't need to check when you leave the pier. It's very troublesome here. Give up 30% of your profits and let Yao Wenzhong find connections. Our money is not free." ,"
"That's it..." I understood a little bit.
In the past few days, Douyazai and I have become very good friends. He said that their fishing boat will be parked in China Harbor for three days. If you are free, you can come to the boat to play with him.
After bidding farewell to Lao Huo and Dou Sprout, the eldest brother started the Nissan and pulled Sister Hong and I away from the pier.
People who have been to that place should know that the former China Harbor Pier was the later Tsim Sha Tsui Cruise Terminal. The distance from here to Moro Street in the Special Administrative Region is very close, only about 6.5 kilometers.
Our destination was a B&B-style hotel that we rented out. Compared with big hotels, this kind of B&B hidden in urban alleys is inconspicuous and safer.
The small truck had to be inspected before it could be released from the dock. The two boxes filled with bronzes were so big that it was impossible not to be discovered. This depends on Yao Wenzhong's plan. We paid for him, but he must let the minivan drive out safely.
The place is bustling with entertainment at night, and there are food stalls and roadside stalls everywhere. Now it seems a bit chaotic to be honest. At that time, the movie "Young and Dangerous" was a big hit, and I watched the CD at my classmate's house in Mohe. At that time, I never thought that I would have the opportunity to visit Chen Haonan's territory.
This young and Dangerous style has been blowing for several years. The machete wrapped in a white towel has become the dream of many bad boys. The familiar people in the world, the fierce dragon crossing the river, and the one-hand covering the sky series all originated in this area.
At about ten o'clock that night, the boss came back dusty. I asked the boss if he had contacted the buyer.
He drank some water and said: "The boss and I arrived two days ago. We have contacted two people before and met with one this afternoon. These brokers all expressed that they are very interested in our goods. Now it seems that, It’s a good idea for us to take this trip, and it’s no problem to have enough to eat on this trip.”
I was overjoyed after hearing this, "Well...Have you estimated how much our batch of goods could sell for?"
"Yunfeng, you are a money addict," he said with a smile, "Although we haven't reached an agreement yet, it is certain that we will keep the children small and strive for the big ones."
The meaning of being the leader is to keep the delivery price low by a few million, and strive to increase it by a few million. A price of several million may not sound scary now, but you have to remember that it was the beginning of the 2000s. At that time, Lao Ma wanted to sell Penguin software worth trillions, and the price he offered was only 3 million...
As long as these brokers on Moro Street see the goods, as long as they see the real thing with their own eyes, then our business can be completed. Now everything is ready, all we need is the east wind. Just wait for the truck to pass the inspection at the China Port Terminal.
After analyzing the situation, he contacted Yao Wenzhong. Yao Wenzhong said that the connection has been made. If nothing goes wrong, our minivan will be released tomorrow morning.
That night, I kept tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
When I left Shunde, I brought a small bag with me. No one but myself knew that there was a small bottle of blue liquid in my bag...
I got off the bed and took out the small glass bottle in my bag. Looking at the half-full bottle of liquid flowing like blue water inside, I thought of Researcher An and his group.
Unfortunately, they all died.
I remember Li Zheng said that if he goes to Hong Kong, he can go to Times Square in Causeway Bay to find him. It seems that there is no such chance now.
Thinking wildly, I slowly fell asleep.
