Chapter 256: Strange People
Sitting against the railing of a bed, I looked at the playing cards that I was fighting the bed, and a smile appeared on my face, and when I turned my head, I suddenly felt my heart jerk.
For I felt diagonally in front of me, where the gloomy man was lying, with a pair of eyes, staring at me with hostility and even indifference.
I hurriedly looked up, but the man was still covering his face with a book, and the cigarette in his hand had long since burned out, and he threw it to the ground, and the dust on the cigarette butt fell, and the cigarette was completely extinguished, and no smoke rose.
And I seem to think that it is my own inexplicable illusion that someone will be staring at me, why would this person be secretly looking at me with a book covering his face.
Besides, I'm a big man, and I'm not a big girl, so there's nothing worth seeing.
Could it be that this is a gay person who likes to look white and pure?
I couldn't help but shudder when I thought of this, but thinking that there were so many people in this cabin, there would definitely be no danger, so I didn't take it seriously, turned my head and continued to look at the game.
It's just that a little attention is left on the side, but the feeling of being stared at or peeping has never appeared again.
In the afternoon, I also mingled with this group of people, my personality was already very aggressive, although I didn't do any hard work on weekdays, but I was still very humble, most of these people were relatively simple, and it was relatively easy to contact.
Smoking cigarettes and chatting, I knew that many of them were fellow villagers, and they were all in the local area, and they came to try their luck on the boat.
Of course, most of them are sailing for the first time, and of course there are many old fritters who have been to sea many times.
Some used to work in the construction site, feeling too boring, although they made a lot of money, but they wanted to come out to see the world, and some were pulled on the boat by fellow villagers.
Among them, there are three Chang Yuan brothers who are fellow villagers and relatives with the captain named Chang Wen, and there are nearly five or six fellow villagers in H Province, and there are ten people in N Province, but although they are all in their respective provinces, most of them have no conflict, and they greet each other with smiles.
To my surprise, one of these people was a recent college graduate, with whom I talked the most, and he told me that he was from a poor rural family, had no connections, no resources, and had no place to work after graduating from university, so he planned to try his luck on the boat.
In the afternoon, I and these people have become a piece, and now not to the fixed sea area, chatting and playing cards is the most way to play, after all, the whole sea is a vast area, I can't go anywhere, so I can only sit on the bed stunned.
After chatting for a long time, I no longer feel a little restrained when I eat in the evening, and naturally I feel that the food is not so disgusting, after all, the taste is not bad, but I still dare not use that kind of strange chopsticks.
During the meal, I deliberately asked the people around me who the lean middle-aged man sitting in the corner was still gloomy, and they said that they didn't know, but they didn't know that this person didn't seem to be very gregarious, and he was willing to communicate too much with everyone, but he was here to make money, and he should be a poor person.
I nodded, and didn't ask too much, but there was always a strange feeling that the person was always sneaking at me, consciously or unconsciously, but when I looked over, I felt that I was neurotic, and I didn't feel that he was looking at me.
The captain's name is Changwen, and the slimy noodles we eat on weekdays are from the meal of a chef surnamed Xia, of course, there is only rice, no vegetables.
They all call him Lao Xia, but this person's personality is babbling, as if he has been going to sea for more than ten years, since he is a chef, the salary is much higher than these people, and he has been going to sea for a long time, compared to those of us who go to sea for the first time, he is completely an old qualification, and he makes more money than other people, and his nostrils are facing the sky, and he is not pleasing to anyone.
After a few days of getting along, what I heard the most was his sentence, "Lao Tzu has been at sea for so many years, I haven't seen anything, don't tell me that, you have to do what I say." ”
Although he is an old qualification, it seems that this way of speaking is difficult to convince everyone, so he doesn't feel that he listens to him much, if it weren't for the captain Chang Wen's pressure, it is estimated that there would have been more than several brawls.
Speaking of brawls, the original harmonious and relaxed atmosphere has slowly begun to change since going to sea, and everyone seems to have seen the power of the sea, and they have become less smiling.
The frantic surging of the waves can suddenly throw this small fishing boat into the air, allowing us to experience a special roller coaster feeling, the windows are often hit by torrential rain, and the sudden thunder from time to time will still wake people up.
I also talked to them, and at the beginning of going to sea, I felt that I couldn't see the end at a glance, and I felt that I was in a good mood, and even if I didn't know a few words, I couldn't help but want to write a few poems, but there was not much ink in my stomach, and I couldn't say it.
And when everyone starts to get tired of the boat, and more often goes out to see the same scenery of the sea outside, it seems that everyone's patience is slowly exhausted.
After eating, it is difficult to see a large group of people playing poker together, most of them are just fellow villagers as a group, each sitting in the corner playing their own games, and no longer speaking broken Mandarin with each other, more or more choose to communicate in their hometown, more than a dozen people in N province speak dialects are not understandable, even if we sit on the side, they do not name us and scold us, we have no other way.
Slowly, the atmosphere in the boat began to change, and at this time, the chef named Lao Xia made several remarks that he felt that he was better than others, and the biggest outbreak was the brawl between several people and the chef in N Province.
Fortunately, the captain Chang Wen appeared in time and resolved the brawl, and there was no bloodshed, but since then, Lao Xia seems to be a little blind to the people in H Province, and the anger on his face is even stronger, and most of the time he is scolding.
The boat went on like this for more than ten days, and then the feeling in the boat became more and more weird, and I didn't like to stay in the cabin, more often I chose to go out and stand for a while, or ask someone for two cigarettes, walk on the side of the ship, blow the sea breeze, and even sometimes wrap a broken quilt and find a clean place on the deck directly, I can't wait to leave this place soon.
Sometimes my wife is in my dreams, although my relationship with her has changed too much during this time, more importantly, my suspicion of her has not diminished in the slightest, and there are many more women around me.
But in my mind, I will always think of her first, and even the impressive Ruoshui will come second.
It was midnight, and there had just been a gust of wind, and after the rainstorm had left the ship spotless, I had just huddled in the cabin, enduring the fear of the huge waves and the torrential rain, and restraining the fear of lightning, and finally I finally got through, and walked from the house to the outside with a big black circle or two, intending to find a clean place to cool off.
