After listening to Laisi's words, Zhou Jiping didn't speak for a while, and just stood awkwardly face to face with Laisi.
"I'm so sorry, Miss Lais, the ship is about to sail!" The fat man Petrov stood on the deck and reminded Lais. Next to him was a dark-skinned local sailor. Apparently the sailor wanted to inform Lais that the ship was about to sail.
Regarding the boat, I couldn’t understand the language, so I had to ask Petrov for help.
"Got it," Lais replied to Petrov, then turned around and continued to look at Zhou Jiping
After several seconds, Zhou Jiping finally gave Laisi a smile and said, "Thank you."
"Thank you for what?" Lais was a little confused.
"Thank you for writing the lyrics so that I can understand the song well." Zhou Jiping seemed to relax suddenly, which made Lais a little confused.
Laisi shrugged her shoulders and said with a helpless smile in her eyes: "Orientals are very interesting, aren't they? Thank me for a piece of music." She raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhou Jiping playfully. Zhou Jiping could only reciprocate.
Give Les a faint smile
Finally, Les turned around, walked up the cement steps with a somewhat disappointed look, and walked to the ship through the wide gangplank.
"Hi, I'm Chinese." Zhou Jiping's words seemed too late.
Laisi, who had just stepped onto the gangplank, obviously paused for a moment, looked back at Zhou Jiping who was looking down at him, and then continued walking towards the ship.
Watching Laisi Pingting Tingting walking onto the boat, Zhou Jiping suddenly felt a little bored and turned his head away irritably.
In fact, just a moment ago, Zhou Jiping thought a lot. He really wanted to say goodbye in an ordinary way like ordinary people, but he couldn't do it anyway because he felt that he was just a passer-by, and
He is a person who does not even have a legal identity, let alone a person with a family. Under such circumstances, what story can happen between him and Lais? Impossible!
Besides, who is this Laisi? What kind of circle is she talking about? Zhou Jiping doesn't dare to be careless. She doesn't care whether Laisi is a police officer or a reporter. After all, she thinks this woman is very strange. Now Zhou Jiping doesn't dare to trust anyone. He
He cannot risk his own life or even the lives of more people unless he is sure that his safety is absolutely guaranteed.
"Hey, I forgot to tell you, I also have Chinese ancestry!" Laisi, who was already standing on the side of the boat, suddenly shouted to Zhou Jiping
"I wish you good luck!" Zhou Jiping's lips moved, and after hesitation, he finally said these words like boiled water.
"Thank you!" Laisi waved to Zhou Jiping on the shore, obviously a little disappointed.
The engine of the mixed passenger and cargo ship was started, and the turbulence stirred up the water foam, slowly pushing the ship away from the dock.
"This ship will sail to the nearest neighboring country, and then several passengers on the ship will transfer to ocean liner and sail to the Mediterranean." After the ship sailed, Zorick stood next to Zhou Jiping again, as if talking to himself.
Although Zorik's military skills are average, his ability to detect faces is quite good. Zhou Jiping thought to himself.
Zhou Jiping's family conditions were very poor, and he was seriously injured on his waist, so he had no choice when it came to marriage. When the introducer introduced Lin Ping, who also grew up in the ravine, to him, he almost
I agreed without much hesitation.
Zhou Jiping knew that he didn't have a choice. He would be pretty good if they didn't choose him. Moreover, he also hoped to satisfy the old man's wish to marry a wife before his father passed away. As for love, he thought it was more about novels and TV series.
The things described here are too far away from him
Get married, have children, live a good life, and then grow old... This is the entire life content of people in the mountains. Although it is a bit boring, in the mountains where he was born and raised, I have never heard of anyone getting divorced because of lack of "love".
For mountain people, "divorce" is a fashionable thing that city people come up with when they have no time to think about. It has nothing to do with the poor mountain people, who don't even care about eating and living.
, who still has the energy to figure out what "emptiness" is?
Lin Ping is a virtuous woman and is a good hand at housework. After knowing that Zhou Jiping's waist was injured, she took over all the work of climbing stairs at home. This made Zhou Jiping feel very attached to this thoughtful woman.
I was very grateful. Later, when Zhou Jiping's auto repair shop made money and the foreign debts he owed were paid off, the first money Zhou Jiping spent was to buy a platinum ring for Lin Ping. This made this simple woman excited for half the night.
Neither fell asleep
Zhou Jiping never thought that he would have any other thoughts. He always thought that he would stay with this poor wife, live a better life, and then grow old like all ordinary mountain people. Just like he never thought,
It’s as if I would come here to East Africa to make a living.
It wasn't until he met Laisi a few days ago that Zhou Jiping was surprised to find that his heart was a little confused.
While I was thinking wildly, the walkie-talkie on the jeep suddenly called, the voice was rapid and nervous.
"Pirates, pirates, the King Arthur has encountered pirates and is asking for help." A shout in Aboriginal language came from the walkie-talkie, but it was not clear due to interference.
This kind of walkie-talkie is the kind of mobile phone commonly used in China. The communication distance is not far, covering about five kilometers at most. However, because there are several relays on several hills near Ngro, the signal range of the mobile phone is suddenly expanded.
Yes, you can call Engro directly from the harbor, but sometimes the signal is a bit weak.
"How long have they been gone? Where are they now? Where is the pirate ship? Have the pirates boarded the ship? Have they killed anyone?" After hearing what happened, Zorick grabbed the phone and asked a series of questions. Zhou Jiping was immersed in memories.
, it took me a few seconds to remember that the "King Arthur" was the ship that Les was riding on.
"We have just arrived less than an hour ago. Not far away, there are two pirate ships. They are already exchanging fire. The other side's firepower is very fierce. They can't hold on any longer." The walkie-talkie answered.
"Did something happen to the boat just now? What are you going to do?" Zhou Jiping quickly asked Zorick
Zorick nodded and said into the walkie-talkie: "Kara, gather the people and prepare. I'll ask the elders for instructions." As he spoke, he adjusted the knob of the walkie-talkie and changed the band.
"Elder, elder, I am Zorick, I am Zorick, I heard the answer, I heard the answer..." Zorick kept calling.
There was a bang, and an Aboriginal voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Wait a minute, the elder is with the chief."
