"We're already friends and old comrades-in-arms. Why are you still hiding it?”
I had no choice. He had already seen through me. I could only bite the bullet and briefly explain the smuggling of second-hand engines. I then asked,"Brother Liu, why is your Dharma Eye so powerful?”
"Hehe, it's just a small experience. Think about it, the weather has been good recently. There is no wind or waves in the South China Sea. It is the fishing season. Which fishing boat would not return with a full load? If they did not catch enough fish, which fishing boat would be willing to return? However, your fishing boats are too shallow, which is obviously illogical.”Liu Dongyun counted with his fingers. I sat at the side and listened carefully with my eyes wide open.
" There's no moon and the sky is dark. Not many fishing boats would choose to sail at night under such weather. It's easy to hit rocks or ships. Moreover, you didn't even turn on the lights. It's illogical.”Liu Dongyun bent another finger.
"When sailing at night, you must not rush, but you are moving at full speed. Logically speaking, it is not the dog days now, so fish are not easy to die or go bad. There is no need to rush. "Also, we've turned on the horn and asked you to stop the ship. As the owner of the ship, you actually didn't come out to welcome us. Instead, you hid in the cabin sneakily. You're clearly covered in shit. This is the fourth reason. Based on these four points, I can conclude that there's something wrong with your ship.”
"Good and bad, indeed wise." I couldn't help but nod and praise. I took out a bunch of banknotes from my pocket and stuffed it into Liu Dongyun's hand." Brother Liu, I'm a virgin. Your words are better than ten years of study. I really want to teach you in the future."”
Liu Dongyun pushed the money back and said,""Xiaohu, aren't you treating me as an outsider?”
"Big Brother Liu, this is a token of my appreciation. How can I treat you brothers to a cup of wine?”I sincerely pushed the money over again.
After a few shaves, Brother Liu finally stopped giving way."Good, good brother. Little Tiger, in the future, when you take this route, you can use my flag. Your ship is the 'Wind Smooth', right?”
"Yes, yes."
Liu Dongyun took out a business card from his pocket and wrote a few words on it. Then, he took out a plastic card from his pocket and handed it to him." Someone came to check the ship. Show him my business card and card. Tell him that I, Liu Dongyun, am working for him. No one in the Pearl River Mouth would dare to check your ship." But you have to change to the day boat and stop fucking sneaking around.”
I thanked him repeatedly and happily took the card. On it were the words "Navy Anti-Smuggling Brigade requisitioning ships" and a seal. On the business card was Liu Dongyun's name and the title "Captain of XX Navy Anti-Smuggling Team". The wind blows. Liu Dongyun, January 1983.
"Brother Liu, I didn't expect you to become a captain in just a few years.”
"What's the big deal? Overtime means no pay. Rice prices and oil prices are rising, but no pay. I look impressive on the outside, but I'm so poor on the inside.”Liu Dongyun mocked himself.
Hearing his tone, I thought that there was a chance, so I took out all the money in my pocket and stuffed it into Liu Dongyun's hand."Big Brother Liu, money is easy. This is a small gift. In the future, as long as you have me, Little Huzi, you will definitely have a share.”
"This…this isn't very good.”
"What's so good about it? Didn't they say that if you don't use it, it will be invalid after the time limit? Big brother helped me, so I should repay him well.”
"Alright, you're a good brother. Next time, let's meet up with Baoguo and talk.”Liu Dongyun put away the money and patted my arm.
" Brother Liu, to be honest, I still have two fishing boats…" I whispered to Liu Dongyun.
Liu Dongyun looked at me for a long time, then pointed at me and laughed sinisterly." Good boy, good boy…" Then, the two of us laughed knowingly…
The first dart on this water transport trip was considered to be a surprise but not a danger. Not only did it deliver the goods safely, but I also got to know Liu Dongyun, an old comrade who was the captain of the water transport team. With his care, of course, I was bold enough to do it. The three boats went back and forth non-stop. In the past month, the wages of the workers had more than doubled, and I also received more than 30,000 yuan. I took 10,000 yuan from it and sent it to Liu Dongyun. We can make money together.
This Captain Liu is straightforward and heroic, and he is very compatible with me. We call each other brothers and get rich together. Under his care, the three fishing boats went smoothly, and I also made a lot of money. I remember the popular saying of " ten thousand yuan household " at that time. I thought, I can be a ten thousand yuan household twice a month, and I can still follow the pace of the party...
The Spring Festival was in ten days. Early that morning, Dahai came to report the good news that Sixth Brother was back!
"Is Sixth Brother really back?" Da Sheng and I were especially happy. To be honest, Sixth Brother's mission was too difficult. It had been almost nine months since mid-April last year. What mission was it? It was similar to banishment.
Da Sheng quickly threw away his work and booked a banquet at Lotus Fragrance Restaurant to welcome Sixth Brother. When the brothers heard that Sixth Brother had been missing for more than half a year and had only returned today, they all rushed over without stopping. The brothers had been separated for many days, and they were very close to each other.
Everyone was a little surprised to see Sixth Brother. Sixth Brother had lost a lot of weight since he left City G. His face was a little yellow and he looked a little haggard, but he was still in good spirits.
"Good boy, you went to Xinjiang to lose weight? I, Sanfei, don't think I'm fat, but you're going to lose weight first?”Third Fatty's face was oily as he patted Sixth Brother's arm.
"Third Brother, if I had known earlier, I would have recommended you.”Sixth Brother said with a smile.
"I should have said so earlier. I really wanted to go to Xinjiang. I heard that the Kazak girls there have high noses, white skin, and are tall and beautiful. Sixth Brother, could it be that you have taken a fancy to a girl and stayed behind to get the vaccine?”Song An giggled.
"Young lady? Sigh…Come, come, let's toast.”Sixth Brother wanted to say something but stopped. He sighed and stopped persuading them to drink. After a while, he changed the topic and asked about everyone's recent situation in the past few months. Everyone chatted with each other, but what we were most concerned about was, of course, what Sixth Brother was doing in Xinjiang. He had only returned after almost nine months. Everyone tried to dig something out of Sixth Brother's mouth, but Sixth Brother didn't say a word. He only said that because he wasn't used to the weather in Xinjiang, he fell ill and rested for a long time.
Everyone felt that what Sixth Brother said was just an excuse, but he didn't want to say more, so they didn't want to ask. In short, it was good that the brothers could gather together. Everyone took turns raising their glasses and drinking.
What exactly did Sixth Brother and Boss Ou do in Xinjiang? This secret was only unraveled many years later. A considerable portion of it was told to me by Old Seven. It was fragmented and not too detailed. Here, I organized what Old Seven said and the information I heard from other sources to restore Old Six's nine-month story.
It was mid-April, 1982. Boss Ou, Mai Zi, and Lao Liu took the train from City G to Lan Zhou. After staying in Lan Zhou for a day, they took the train to Urumchi. The journey alone took a week. Why didn't he just take a plane there? According to Sixth Brother's analysis, Boss Ou did not want to expose his identity and let others know that he had been to Xinjiang.
On his second night in Urumchi, Boss Ou contacted a man named Deng Dawei. After dinner, Boss Ou and the other two got into Deng Dawei's jeep and headed southwest to Kashi. The bumpy journey lasted for a few days. The road was filled with the Gobi Desert. They had to repair the tires several times. About a few hundred kilometers away from Kashi, the car suddenly turned south and drove straight into the Gobi road. There were occasional hills along the road.
After walking for another day and night on the small road, a large oasis appeared in front of them after noon. The temperature suddenly became cool. The car passed through the dense forest, turned left and right, and arrived in front of a huge cave. The entrance was wide enough for two five-ton trucks to enter side by side.
A few soldiers were guarding the entrance of the cave. They were wearing camouflage uniforms, so it was impossible to tell what kind of army they were from. Seeing Deng Dawei's car, the guards saluted and signaled Deng Dawei to drive the car into the cave.
The car drove in the cave for about ten minutes before stopping. They arrived at a cave the size of two basketball courts. The sunlight refracted through the cracks in the mountain. It turned out that there was a different world here.
There were about 20 soldiers in camouflage uniforms in the cave. Some were playing chess, some were chatting, and some were typing codes into the telegram. When they saw Deng Dawei's car drive in, a tall soldier came up and saluted respectfully."Hello, Uncle Qu!"
Old Six and the others got out of the car. Boss Ou quickly walked up and patted the soldier's shoulder."Nephew, are you here today? Very good."
"The old man asked me to learn something from Uncle Qu. I can't wait to come to Xinjiang. I haven't been back for a long time, but everything is still so familiar.”
"After I'm done, I'm going to walk around. But the weather here is really f * cking dry. The corners of his mouth cracked." Boss Ou licked the corner of his mouth, looking a little uncomfortable.
"Uncle Qu, you can't lick it. The more you lick it, the more violent it becomes…The weather here is dry, so you need to apply oil to be effective. Oh right, how are Mindong and Xiangnan? Why didn't you bring them along to play?”
"Hehe, they're all very good. The one who went to Beijing this time is Mindong. It's been almost a week, have you received the money?”
"Oh, I received the old man's telegram several days ago. The money was safely received. I thought Mr. Sunglasses was going to Beijing. Oh right, why isn't he here?”
" Don't mention him. I don't know where he went…" Boss Ou seemed to be a little angry. The Mr. Sunglasses that his nephew mentioned seemed to be referring to Xiao Fei.
Boss Ou stepped aside and said,"This is Maizi. You two know each other." This is Baoguo, our new assistant…Baoguo, come, let me introduce you. This is Captain Wang, the future pillar of our empire.”
Captain Wang chuckled." Uncle Qu, I'm sorry. Baoguo, just call me Captain Wang." Maizi, it's been a long time. How are you?”
Sixth Brother and Mai Zi shook hands with Captain Wang and exchanged a few pleasantries. Captain Wang led the way and brought Boss Ou and the others to a side cave to sit down. There was a coffee table, a sofa, and electric lights in the small cave. Although it was a little simple, it looked like an office in a cave.
Captain Wang ordered his men to serve tea, then closed the door and asked,"Uncle Qu, why are you so late this time? I can't wait. There are many things in Beijing that I have to deal with.”
"Hehe, it's good that you can come. I don't dare to take the plane this time. I've wasted all my time on the road. Nephew, are the goods ready? They wanted to set off immediately, but the other side was also waiting anxiously.”Boss Ou took a puff of his cigarette and said while exhaling.
"Uncle Qu, don't worry. It's been prepared early in the morning. Rest here for the night and we can set off tomorrow morning.”
" Hmm..." The district boss took the list and flipped through it page by page. After a long time, he said," Okay... Okay, it's good to do a routine spot check. Maizi, take the list and go take a look with Baoguo."”As he spoke, he handed the list to Mai Zi.
Captain Wang opened the door and called for a soldier. He brought Maizi and Baoguo into the car. They walked along the passages in the cave that extended in all directions. After about ten minutes, the front suddenly opened up. It was another bigger cave. With the sunlight that seeped through the crack in the mountain, they could see more than ten heavy military goods parked neatly in the cave. The military goods were covered with green canvas. From the wheel pressure, it could be seen that each car was filled with goods.
The military goods were all numbered. Mai Zi flipped through the list and asked Sixth Brother to board one of the military goods. He flipped open the canvas and saw a large wooden box stacked inside.
"Baoguo, open this box." Mai Zi threw a small shovel to Sixth Brother.
Sixth Brother used his shovel to pry open the lid of the box. He looked down and gasped.
