Chapter 5 Part Four: The Long Voyage

I believe that although there are many people in the world, there must be very few people who have tasted what I am now. I hugged my knees, sat down, and put the tools and food in front of the box. There was still a gap in the box for me to stretch out my hands. Anyway, it was still early, so I might as well take a rest. I actually fell asleep. When I woke up, I heard a rumbling sound. I looked out through the cracks and saw a crane lifting a large wooden box: the same wooden box as I was hiding in. Hundreds of them were all hoisted by a crane to a large truck, and the large truck drove out after loading the large wooden boxes.

I was almost on the ship, I thought, and when I got there, I could try to get out and walk around, and I believed that as long as the ship set sail, it would not matter if I was found. I was very optimistic. After waiting for about an hour, the wooden box I was hiding in was also hoisted up, swaying in mid-air, and then put on a big truck, which drove forward. After a while Came to the pier. The box I was hiding in was hoisted up by the crane again, this time even higher. When I was in the air, I looked down through the cracks in the wood and saw that there were many policemen on the pier, and the security was very strict. I can't help but secretly rejoice in my heart.So far, things have been going great.

I was put into the cabin, and after several people put the wooden box away, I felt something was wrong. Sure enough, almost immediately, there was a bang, and there was another box on top of me.I almost yelled, damn it, didn't the nineteenth floor make arrangements to put my hiding box on the outermost side? Of course I didn't dare to cry out, so I could only anxiously hope that although there was a wooden box on top of me, there would be no one near me. However, after half an hour, I was desperate. My top, bottom, left, and right sides are full of wooden boxes, and the wooden box I am hiding in is among hundreds of big wooden boxes!That is to say, during the long journey, I will have no chance to get out of the wooden box!

How did this work?How can this be?I was thinking anxiously in my heart: Should I yell loudly? If I yell, of course I can get away, but it will definitely fall into the hands of the police! And if I don't shout, can I survive twenty days' sea voyage in this wooden box?This is really unimaginable! I finally yelled, because I thought I'd be buried alive for a month, and it was so horrible that I'd rather be found out and in the hands of the police. I yelled loudly, but after five minutes, I immediately realized that it was too late for me to yell! All around me, there are many large wooden boxes piled up. These large wooden boxes must have blocked my voice, and if my voice can still be heard, it must be very weak. The noise of the crane must be Covered my cries so no one could hear them.

I could only hear the sound of the big wooden boxes being stacked on top of the big wooden boxes, which continued continuously. I could tell that the big wooden boxes were still being stacked on top of me and around me. I turned from screaming to screaming, I took out the tool, it was a tool for prying nails, I easily pried open the wooden box, but I couldn't get out. Because in front of me is another wooden box. I pushed the wooden box hard, hoping to push the wooden box down, so that I could attract people's attention and get out of the heavy encirclement. However, I tried my best, but I still couldn't move the big wooden box!I turned on the torch, which I had to use carefully because it was the only light I had.

After taking a photo of the wooden box in front of me, I pried open the wooden box and pulled out the packages of things in the wooden box. I knew by feeling that it was cotton fabric. I was surrounded by millions of cotton items packed into boxes. It took me a lot of effort to stuff the cotton fabrics from the big wooden box in front of me into the wooden box I used to hide in. Since there is very little room for me to move around, when I finally cleared the goods in the box in front, And when I was in the box in front of me, it can be said that I was exhausted. But at this time, my mood is relatively relaxed.

For I found that, using the same method, I could proceed slowly and carve out a tunnel. The way to open the tunnel is to pry open the box in front of me and move the goods out of the box in front of me, so that I can move forward. This is like a small square puzzle game. I must It takes a lot of effort to advance one level. But even if there are ten floors of such a big wooden box in front of me, I can get out of it only after trying ten times! The time just now took me about two hours, that is to say, if I worked continuously, I could get away in twenty hours, and, in fact, it is impossible for the big wooden box to have as many as ten floors!

The thought lifted my spirits, and I sprang to my feet again, and began digging my tunnel. There are many tunnels in the world, but the tunnels excavated in the mountains of cotton fabrics are probably the only one with no other branches.I advanced three wooden boxes in a row, and only took a short rest, ate some dry food, and continued to work. When I broke through the sixth wooden box, I couldn't help cheering, because there was no wooden box outside!But as I stepped forward with the flashlight, I gasped. Indeed, my tunnel has been successful, and I should be able to get out, if there are other goods piled beside the cotton.But now, when I pried off the board, I saw other goods piled up outside.

And, that's out of my hands, they're a big plate of wire!What can I do to deal with the wire?Unless I have a sword that cuts iron like mud. However, I certainly do not have such a sword. I wouldn't be stupid enough to try to push those wires, because each coil of wire probably weighed a ton, and I could see at least hundreds of coils ahead of me. I sat down dejectedly. This continuous operation for more than ten hours made my bones seem to be scattered, especially when you have gone through such hardships and found that your hard work , when it is of no use at all, it will be even more tired.

I fell into the wooden box like a dead person, and I don't know how long it took. Since I didn't move, I felt that the hull seemed to be moving, and there was no regular mechanical sound, I knew that the ship had set sail, and I was trapped in the cargo hold. I didn't want to move, I sat like a dead person, and in the extreme exhaustion, I slowly fell asleep. When I woke up, I looked at my watch, and when I was sure the watch hadn't stopped, I realized that I had slept for ten hours! I just felt sore all over, and I just wanted to straighten my body. At that moment, I forgot that I was in the box, and I straightened up.

However, I only moved up a little, and the top of my head hit the box with a bang. This bump made me scream in pain, but it also made my mind sober for a while. At the same time, it suddenly lit up: I am not in despair! My tunnel came here and was blocked by the wire, and I couldn't dig a hole in the wire, but the tunnel doesn't have to be straight forward, I can make the tunnel turn upwards! Usually, the cargo is loaded in the cargo hold of the ship, it will not touch the top of the hold all the time, there is always a gap, so as long as I can break the top wooden box, I have a chance to climb out and climb over the wire or other goods and got away. I started working again, and I found that this time my work was much easier than last time, because as soon as I broke the box, the cotton fabrics in the box would automatically fall down, saving me a lot of effort in carrying . After I broke through six more boxes, I finally climbed to the top of a large pile of wooden boxes.There are more empty seats on the top than I thought, and I can stand up straight. I turned on the flashlight and walked over the wire. The wire passed by sacks of goods. I was buried in the corner of the cargo hold. Of course, I had already thought that the reason why I had such an experience was definitely not Because of the negligence of the nineteenth floor.That must have been deliberately arranged on the nineteenth floor.He didn't mean to kill me, but he wanted to make me suffer. I am not a person who does not take revenge. When I walked through the sack and climbed down the sack, I had already decided in my heart that as long as there was a chance, I must take revenge, and I must try the nineteenth floor. The taste of the underground! After I climbed down the sack, I stood in the only gaps in the cargo hold, and I quickly discovered this iron ladder, which leads upwards.When a large freighter is sailing, the cargo hold is of course locked, but there will be regular inspections by someone. I was thinking of waiting until someone came to inspect the hold, but I changed my mind immediately. Because I don't know how long it will take for someone to come down; and now, I am desperate for a breath of fresh air. I climbed up the iron ladder and got under the hatch cover. When I pushed up hard, a crack appeared in the hatch cover. I used a very sharp thin saw blade to stick in through the crack and saw it. .This thin saw blade, is one of many gadgets that I carry around. Fortunately, the cargo ship was very dilapidated and old-fashioned, so I was able to saw through the lock and get out of the cabin. When I opened the hatch and took a breath of fresh air, the pleasure I felt physically and mentally was indescribable.It was very dark outside, and it was midnight. I pushed open the hatch and turned onto the deck. After I jumped onto the deck, I took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and then I walked forward about ten steps, and sat down in a lifeboat hanging beside the side of the ship. That place is very secretive, even in the daytime, it is not easy to be found, let alone now at night. I started to make plans for the next step. If it hadn't been for the cargo in the hold that made me a mess, I'd be out in public by now.I can go directly to the captain and ask him to take me in. At sea, the captain has supreme authority. My request can satisfy a captain's desire for power, and most of it will be granted.But because I destroyed as many as twelve large wooden boxes in the cargo hold, and the cotton fabrics in those twelve large wooden boxes also became a mess, if I said something, the captain would definitely detain me immediately! So, I had to think of other ways to get through this long voyage. I had to get water, food was not a problem as I still had rations, and the most reliable source of water was, of course, the kitchen. After thinking for a while, I walked towards the stern of the ship. When I heard footsteps and conversations coming from the front, I dodged into a dark place. Walking forward were two sailors. They might be on duty because they were holding long torches in their hands, but at this time, they didn't have their torches on, so they didn't notice me either. They were talking while walking, and I heard one of them say: The man and woman in the captain's cabin, don't you think it's a bit weird? Another said: "Of course, if you cover up when you see someone, the captain must have collected money to cover up the smuggling out of the country. Damn it, being a captain has such advantages. We smuggle some things, and we still have to take risks!" That one laughed: "Of course it's good to be the captain. I think this man and woman must be very important. Otherwise, why did the captain order that no one is allowed to enter the captain's cabin except the waiters?" The other scolded a few more words, and the two gradually walked away. The conversation between the two of them, in my ears, could not help arousing great doubts in my heart. There are two mysterious guests in the captain's room. They are a man and a woman. Who are they?Could it be Luo Zhixun and Bai Xiuqiong? When I think of this, I can't help but burst into anger! Because if it was them, since the nineteenth floor had a way to arrange for them to enjoy the happiness in the captain's cabin, why did I have to suffer in the center of the cargo hold? I decided to find out what happened, and at this time, I changed my mind. Since the captain openly took bribes to smuggle people out of the country, then I have caught his pigtails. If this matter is made public, he will definitely be punished. Punishment by the Admiralty Court. That is to say, even if I ruined twelve boxes of cotton goods, he would have nothing to do with me. As soon as I thought of this, I immediately flashed out of the darkness and shouted: "Hey, stop!" The two sailors suddenly heard someone calling them from behind, and turned around quickly. At this time, I also strode forward to meet them. The two sailors were stunned when they saw me, until I came in front of them, they said: "Who are you?" I said in a deep voice: Don't worry about it, take me to see the captain! The two sailors looked at each other: we can't do this, we have to tell the bosun first, the bosun reports to the second mate, the second mate reports to the first mate, and the first mate reports to the captain. I laughed, took out two large banknotes, and gave each of them one: Well, you don't have to take me to see the captain, just show me where the captain's cabin is. The two sailors were overjoyed, and stretched out their hands to point to the top of the stairs: From here, the first door is the dining room of the senior crew, and the second door is the captain's cabin. I waved to the two sailors, and went straight ahead, until I came near the stairs, and climbed up quickly.Going up the stairs is where the senior personnel on board are active. It is illegal for ordinary sailors to climb the stairs unless they are called by the captain. I was only halfway up the escalator, when I heard someone shouting: "Who is it, stop!" Of course I didn't stop, on the contrary, I went faster. The man yelled again, and with his yelling, I could already hear the sound of Kali pulling the bolt of the gun.But the man didn't have time to shoot, because I had already jumped up like flying, and slashed his arm with a palm, and the gun in his hand fell down. I hooked my toe, and the gun flew up, and I caught it as soon as I stretched out my hand! The guy who was hit by me took a few steps back, stunned: What is this for?Are you going to betray?Put down the gun now. I looked at him, the man was very young, probably a trainee who just graduated from the nautical school, I ignored his identity, and just said coldly: You are wrong, I am not a sailor. His eyes widened: So, who are you? I sneered: You come to ask me who I am?Why don't you ask who are the man and woman in the captain's cabin? The guy's face suddenly became very embarrassed: How did you know? I lowered my voice and stretched out the gun in my hand: Take me to see them quickly! The man was taken aback: the captain had ordered that no one was allowed to see them. I laughed, this guy now regards the captain's order as sacrosanct, isn't it too ridiculous?I said: Now I order you to take me to meet them. He glanced at the muzzle of my gun, turned around at last, and walked forward. I followed him to the second door, and the man raised his hand and banged on it. In less than a minute, I heard a question coming from inside: Who is it?We are already asleep. That was Luo Zhixun's voice! As soon as I heard it, I could tell that it was Luo Zhixun's voice! I pointed at the man's waist with a gun, and the man hurriedly said: "It's me, it's me. The captain has something to tell me. Please open the door and let me in." I whispered in that man's ear: You did a good job. The man gave me a wry smile in return, and at this moment, the door slowly opened. As soon as the door opened, I pushed hard and pushed the man away, and pushed my shoulders hard, and with a bang, the door was pushed open. I only heard Luo Zhixun shout angrily: What's the matter? As soon as I turned around, I kicked the door shut, and at the same time, my pistol was aimed at Luo Zhixun. The light in the cabin was not strong, but it was enough for him to see me. Behind Luo Zhixun is Bai Xiuqiong. The captain's bedroom is quite luxurious, and both of them are wearing gorgeous pajamas. The dog-raised captain must have received a lot of benefits, so he gave up his bedroom to others. Used by both of them. I looked at them, and they looked at me. On their faces, for the first time, I saw that a person in extreme astonishment turned out to be so funny. I will suddenly appear, which of course is something they never dreamed of! At this time, the joy in my heart is also indescribable. Throwing the gun in my hand, I took two steps forward, sat down on a sofa, and raised my gun: Please sit down, you are welcome! Luo Zhixun was still standing there blankly, but his wife regained her composure, and she forced a smile: Mr. Wei, you are on a ship now. I was stunned for a while, and for a while, I still couldn't figure out what she meant by reminding me like this.Of course I knew I was on a boat! I just sneered and didn't answer her. She also said: On the ship, the captain has supreme authority, and we can be sure that the captain is completely on our side! As soon as I heard what she said, I couldn't help laughing. It turned out that she wanted to scare me!In the current situation, she thought she could scare me away with those few words. Isn't that too funny, too ridiculous? I laughed out loud: the captain may be standing in the prison pen for trial, and so are you, and it is indeed on your side! At this time, I heard a voice coming from outside the door. Of course, my voice had alarmed the captain.I yelled at the hatch: Get out, if you don't want to be sentenced to life in prison! As expected, the noise outside the door stopped, and Mrs. Luo's complexion also began to turn paler. She already understood that now, on this ship, I am the one who has the supreme authority, not the captain! I waved the pistol again, and said: Sit down, we can talk slowly, because the voyage is very long, and at the same time, I hope we can talk to a better result.Because as far as the captain is concerned, if the two of you are missing, he would like it so much, it means that the evidence of his crime suddenly disappeared! Luo Zhixun finally spoke, he said: Let's sit down first, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I smiled: You are right, the current situation is indeed terrible for you, but it will never be worse than when you were waiting for execution in the death row. Luo Zhixun smiled wryly: Mr. Wei, you should forgive me, I didn't mean to betray you. I squinted: really? Luo Zhixun said: Really, think about it, I escaped from the death row, of course I hope to escape from the police immediately, I naturally don't want to wait a little longer, so I drove away immediately, and afterward, when I want to be with you again Contact, but it is no longer possible. Luo Zhixun's explanation sounds very reasonable. However, since I can be sure that I have already been fooled by him once, of course I will not be fooled a second time.I said noncommittal: Really?It seems you are being honest. Luo Zhixun and his wife looked at each other, and Mrs. Luo said: Then, Mr. Wei, what are you going to do now? I said: This question is relatively close. I believe you all know what I am going to do. I want to know why you killed your brother!When I said this, I pointed my finger at Luo Zhixun.Before Luo Zhixun could speak, Mrs. Luo screamed: He didn't kill his brother.I said coldly: I am asking him, not you! Under my gaze, Luo Zhixun lowered his head and said nothing.This was exactly his standard demeanor after the strange case happened, because after he pushed his younger brother off the cliff, he kept his head down like this, without making a sound, to deal with any interrogation. Photos of him in this posture are published in almost every newspaper, and I have seen many of them. I sneered and said: Don't you say it? Luo Zhixun remained silent. I stood up: I went to see the captain, I asked him to return to the voyage immediately, and I thought he would agree.And Mr. Luo, legally speaking, you should have been executed long ago. As soon as you landed, you would be sent to the electric chair room immediately! Luo Zhixun remained silent. What I didn't expect was that Mrs. Luo suddenly had a seizure. She turned around, pointed at Luo Zhixun, and shouted: "You should speak, why don't you speak?"I'm sure you didn't kill, why didn't you defend yourself?Why?You should speak up too! I hurriedly said: Mrs. Luo, don't you know the inside story? Mrs. Luo shook her head with an angry face: I don't know anything, I only know that he has a very good heart, and he is definitely not a person who will kill, this is something I can be sure of! However, many people saw him pushing people off the cliff at that time! Yes, I believe it too, but what is that for?Zhixun, you said, what is it for? Luo Zhixun finally spoke, he spread his hands, and said in a very weak voice: I must do this, I must do this! As soon as Luo Zhixun opened his mouth, my questions immediately came out like a cannonball. I hurriedly asked: Why do you have to kill him?You spent so much painstaking efforts to find him back. In the few days after he came back, he and you never quarreled. Why did you kill him? Luo Zhixun opened his mouth wide and said after a while: "It's useless, you won't believe me if I tell you." I quickly leaned down, almost facing the tip of his nose: Tell me, just tell me, I can believe all the most absurd things, as long as you tell the truth! Luo Zhixun looked at me for a while, I thought he was about to speak, but he shook his head, sighed, and lowered his head again. At this time, an unexpected thing happened again. Mrs. Luo, who usually seemed very virtuous and quiet, suddenly jumped forward, and without hesitation, slapped Luo Zhixun hard on the face. The crisp applause shocked me. Before I expressed my opinion, Mrs. Luo scolded: Say, you useless person, I want you to speak up immediately! I have already said that Mrs. Luo is a very strong and capable woman, while Luo Zhixun is a rather cowardly person. This is also the crux of the problem: why would a good and cowardly person push his younger brother off a cliff? Now, I can clearly see that Mrs. Luo is prodding Luo Zhixun to make him stronger and tell the truth. It was definitely not a show for me. This kind of situation at least made me understand why Luo Zhixun wanted to kill people. Even Mrs. Luo didn't know this. After being slapped, Luo Zhixun's face became even uglier. It turned blue for a while, then turned pale for a while. His body was trembling. Suddenly, he covered his face with his hands again, but he just didn't speak. I feel that the most difficult thing in the world is to extract the secrets in a person's heart from his mouth. As long as the person refuses to tell, there is nothing you can do about him. Luo Zhixun covered his face with his hands, his body was trembling, and after a full five minutes, he said in a voice almost crying: "Okay, if you force me to say it, I will say it, I will say it." Luo Zhixun said it twice and I said it, but I still didn't tell the truth. I clenched my fists tightly in anxiety, because he might change his mind suddenly, and all my previous efforts would be wasted! He paused for half a minute! That half a minute seemed unbearably long. Finally Luo Zhixun spoke up, and he said: I said, I pushed him down, because, he, he is no longer a human being! I was stunned for a while, I didn't understand what he meant by saying that, I looked at Mrs Luo, and saw her face was also full of surprise, obviously she didn't understand what it meant. I immediately looked at Luo Zhixun, Luo Zhixun's words were so nonsensical, of course I wanted to understand.But when I saw Luo Zhixun's situation, I didn't make a sound. His whole body was trembling, his upper and lower rows of teeth met each other, and he made a deafening sound. With his expression so excited, I really couldn't bear to ask him any more. He trembled for a while, until he stretched out his hand and grabbed the head of the bed tightly, which made him calmer. By this time, he gasped again: Do you understand?I really had to push him down. I couldn't help laughing wryly, I was baffled by his words, but he said that I understood, I tried to slow down my voice, and said: I don't understand, he is obviously a human being, how can you say he is not human? Luo Zhixun suddenly raised his voice and screamed: He is not human, he is not human, everyone will die, he will not die, what is this? After Luo Zhixun finished calling, he stared at me, waiting for my answer. However, I couldn't answer anything except staring back at him. I don't even know what Luo Zhixun's words mean, so where do I start to answer?He said that Luo Zhiqian will not die, people will always die, according to the inductive method, those who will not die, of course, cannot be regarded as people.However, if Luo Zhiqian is a person who will not die, of course he is not guilty of murdering Luo Zhiqian.Because his crime was to kill Luo Zhiqian, and Luo Zhiqian would not die, so how could there be such a thing as killing him?
