Strongest Worker

"We have boarded the ship and are expected to arrive at Sri baga Bay tonight."

Early in the morning, Li Qing leaned against the railing on the deck, typed such a jargon in her mobile phone, and then sent a short message to Lin Qiuqiu. He stared at the mobile phone screen and waited quietly for a while. He found that the short message had not been sent.

"Hmm? No signal?" he raised his head and looked at Du Huasheng who was carrying a glass of whisky onto the deck.

"This is not nonsense. How can the signal cover so far?" Du Huasheng shouted angrily. "If you really want to send messages back, use the ship's communication system."

"That's not necessary." Li Qing turned off his cell phone and put it into his pocket.

He turned around, supported the guardrail with both hands, raised his eyes and looked at the island of ah Mai, which had turned into a point in his field of vision.

Du Huasheng suddenly said, "now regret... It's too late."

Li Qing looked at him: "huh?"

"If you want to find the rest of the Kuzhi bandits, you are likely to face the coalition army directly, okay?" Du Huasheng said faintly. "In Southeast Asia, humanitarianism is a joke, especially for the bandits. International conventions lack Trial Provisions for them, so when the coalition army acts, as long as it can kill, it usually won't leave a living mouth."

Li Qing lowered her head and stared at the sparkling sea: "I'm only looking for Lin Mengdie. The huangjiahai bandits have nothing to do with me."

Du Huasheng smiled: "what can you do if you find her? There won't be a sheep in the wolves... To take a step back, even if she is willing to go with you, will the Kuzhi bandits let you go?"

Li Qing said coldly, "I'll kill whoever stops me."

"Good, good, good, kind." Du Huasheng nodded again and again. "You remind me of a poem, 'kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for thousands of miles'. I'll only help you find her. What to do next depends on your ability, which has nothing to do with me."

"I know. I don't expect you to help. On the contrary, it's lucky not to be betrayed."

Du Huasheng shrugged his shoulders: "for your sake of observing the holy meaning, let me teach you a way to protect your life."

He blurted out a Malay sentence and then said, "read it with me."

Li Qing read along with him once, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "what does that mean?"

"There are many Chinese in Southeast Asia, and Chinese is widely used. I teach you this sentence just in case," Du Huasheng said with a smile. "This Malay translation is' I'm very rich ', ha ha ha, how about it? Isn't it good?"

Li Qingmei frowned more tightly and glanced at him obliquely: "how can this protect life?"

"Of course, the United Army is not strong in combat, with lax military discipline, constant infighting and a noisy mess. Otherwise, the Kuzhi sea bandits would have been wiped out." Du Huasheng looked a little proud, "They just have a good reputation. In fact, most of them are local family armed forces, which belong to the mixed military strength of private and government. The situation in Southeast Asia is chaotic. In order to protect private property, large capital families follow your ancient Chinese Township courage regiment training to train their own armed forces."

Li Qing asked, "just like your father?"

"Well, almost." Du Huasheng blinked, "it's just that my father hasn't talked with the ruling party and is still in a state of waiting for recruitment."

"So... Most of the military power is in private hands?"

"Yes, if the Kuzhi bandits were not rampant and Huang Ziying angered the interests of too many people, how could so many private armed forces be gathered together to jointly suppress the bandits?"

Li Qing gently tugged at the corner of his mouth: "then you just taught me that sentence..."

Du Huasheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "interests, only eternal interests, are the foundation of settling down. You are the owner of the Li family in Lingang. You are fat and greasy. Those poor people who are not even equipped with their underpants can't slobber when they see you? So I tell you, don't be stingy about your identity and wealth at the critical moment."

Li Qing nodded solemnly: "the same words are given to you. If you are caught, you must tell them that you are Du Zhengfeng's son."

"Hehe, my father has fourteen sons. He won't care about me." Du Huasheng sneered, "if I'm caught, I don't expect someone to save me."

"Eh? Didn't you say last time... Your father had thirteen sons? One was green..." Li Qing asked with confused eyes. "Did you say... Another one?"

"Thirteen is a false finger..." Du Huasheng grinned. "It's estimated that he can't remember himself. How do I know?"

"Oh."

Du Huasheng drank the wine, then raised his hand and threw the cup into the sea.

He didn't seem to want to pester about how many sons his father had. He simply changed the topic: "I just thought about what you said to me this morning."

"You mean Qian Hanling?"

"Yes." Du Huasheng's eyes showed a faint color, "you must have been fooled by her. Zhao Zhen is definitely not dead."

Li Qing looked at him for a moment and asked in a low voice, "are you so sure?"

"Of course, I know something about Qian Hanling." Du Huasheng looked helpless. "What a good girl, beautiful and smart... Tut Tut, I really want to sleep with her, but I haven't had a chance..."

Li Qing looked at his eyes as if he were looking at animals: "aren't you Zhao Zhen's good friend? He also saved your life. It's also a good idea to make money with spirit?"

"What's the matter? I'm Zhao Zhen's good friend. What's the matter with me wanting to sleep with Qian Hanling? And..." Du Huasheng sneered, "and I knew that Qian Hanling didn't look at him at all. Zhao Zhen knew it in his heart, but he didn't expose it all the time. Hehe, he's a man. He's really tired of living."

"Don't look up... Will you save him?"

"Qian Hanling never owes anyone. She will never miss the chance to save Zhao Zhenyi's life and let both sides get rid of their relationship." Du Huasheng sighed softly, "but I really didn't think... She has a relationship with de Mattel... It's so deep that she's really seen a ghost."

"Hey." he turned his head and looked at Li Qing, "do you think there will be a man who can see such a woman?"

"Er..." Li Qing hesitated slightly, "I don't know..."

"Forget it, what shall I discuss with you?" Du Huasheng glanced, then untied his trouser belt and peed under the boat without scruples.

Li Qing frowned, turned and walked away: "I'll go back to the cabin and have a rest. It's windy on the sea. Be careful. Don't pee on your feet."

"Are you kidding me? I peed three times against the wind... Shit!"

Li Qing heard a low curse behind him, but shook his head and walked into the cabin.

He went back to the lounge, lay in a single bed, took out his cell phone and looked at it. No accident, no signal at all.

Li Qing felt that he had been isolated from the world. He was like an autumn leaf, drifting across the sea and reaching the other shore where he did not know good or bad. He lay in bed until noon, went out to eat, and then went back to the lounge to lie down and sleep. The road ahead was uncertain. He wisely chose to make up more sleep to cope with the next fatigue.

I don't know how long I slept. Li Qing woke up in a violent shake. Turn over and sit up, sweep your eyes in the rest room, and half a glass of water that was originally on the table has overturned.

Li Qing rubbed her eyes, got out of bed and came to the deck. She saw Du Huasheng and several sailors crowding together to roast sea fish.

"What's the matter?" he looked at the dark night sky and asked low, "I just felt the boat shaking."

While chewing, Du Huasheng shouted, "Oh, our boat has just been hit by a fish."

"What fish?"

Du Huasheng looked at the wrinkled old sailor opposite, shook his head and said, "I don't know. It may be a passing shark. Our ship's tonnage is OK, it can't turn over easily, and it only hit that once. Don't worry."

"Yes."

"Would you like some?" Du Huasheng handed him a piece of fried fish, and then divided him a bottle of beer. "The newly caught fish is fresh."

Li Qing bit the fish and felt it tasted very good. He couldn't help asking, "what kind of fish is this?"

Du Huasheng narrowed his eyes, talked with the old sailor opposite, and then replied: "blind Cao fish, both in fresh and salt water."

"Aren't you local? Don't you even know this?"

"I can eat enough. Do you care about the names of the dead? The same is true of the dead fish..." Du Huasheng licked his fingers, stood up and pointed to the front, "we're almost at the port."

Li Qing leaned against the railing, drank a beer and asked, "have you changed your pants?"

"You don't have to open the pot to carry it." Du Huasheng glared at him, turned around and talked to the old sailors with a smile.

Li Qing stood on the deck, drinking and eating meat. After blowing the sea breeze for a while, he felt happy.

There were no stars in the dark night sky. However, after traveling for more than 20 minutes, a little light suddenly appeared in front of the cargo ship. After a while, the high pitched boat whistle was pulled up.

"Here we are. The bay of sribaga is ahead."

Li Qing threw the empty beer bottle into the garbage bag and asked slowly, "does anyone pick us up?"

"Ah? Do you want someone to pick me up?" Du Huasheng smiled and shook his head. "Stop it. Do you know how many people here want to kill me? Those animals are loaded and waiting for me at the port every day. Master Li, I have no friends in this land."

While talking, he had put on his hat and said low, "just follow me. You are a famous big man in Lingang, but no one knows you in Darussalam."

Li Qing stared at his nervous appearance, and a funny look appeared at the bottom of his eyes: "it seems that you really have many enemies... In that case, dare you come to Sri baga Bay?"

"I'm not trying to help you," Du Huasheng said with a smile, "and after tonight, there may be no enemies..."
