131 Knife Mountain and sea of fire (1/2)

”No one can be believed in the future, no one! The only thing you can trust is this fellow!” I chew his words carefully, look at the gun in front of me quietly, then suddenly look up at him and smile, slowly reach out and pick it up.

”I'll take the second way.” My fingertips touch the handle of the gun, feel icy cold.

He seems to sigh, ”I guess you'll choose that way.” He laughs and says, ”Young man, who can live in peace all his life?”

He holds up glass again and looks at me. ”Come on, have another drink! Tonight is our break-up meal. After this meal, I'll take you out of here.”

Suddenly a trace of confusion bursts out in my heart, and I say with a bitter smile, ”So fast?”

”Just so fast.” He's laughing: ”This dog kennel, you haven't stayed enough yet? I'm stuffy here. If it weren't because I couldn't find someone to take care of you, do you think I was willing to stay here with you for a whole month?”

When I look at him, I'm suddenly choking. I take up my glass and drink. I stare at him and say, ”Big brother Ocean...”

This is the first time I have ever called him that way, but my voice is very sincere! I smash the glass, then take a piece of fragments, cut on my thumb, let the blood flow out, and then take the empty bowl in front of me, hold the bottle and pour half a bowl of wine, squeez a few drops of blood from my thumb and drop it in the bowl.

Then I look straight at him and slowly say, ”I will never forget your kindness in my lifetime! One day, if I Chen Yang will not die and make a fortune, I will repay you ten times hundred times!”

Then I pick up the bowl and drink the blood and liquor all.

He doesn't say anything, just smiles gently and sips a drink with me. Then he smiles gently and says, ”I can't imagine you such a young kid also learn from our old antiques to play blood brotherhoods.”

I shake my head. ”What I said tonight is true!”

”I believe you.” He nods: ”You just live good and I'll be waiting for the day you repay me.”

The meal lasted all night, and we drank up the whole bottle without wasting a drop. The dishes were all eaten too.

The next morning, he takes me away. When it is dim, we get into the van and he drives me away from the small village where we have been dormant for almost a month.

For so many days here, I haven't even stepped out of the door, and I don't even know the surroundings at all.

The van drives for about an hour. Then it seems to drive to a building material market far from the city. His van drives in and stops at the door of the back warehouse.

In front of a container truck inside, two men are squatting there smoking. Seeing fat fellow comes in, they immediately stand up and say ”Brother Ocean” with a laugh.

Fat fellow nods, then pulls me over, points at me and says, ”This is time we take this brother to go. Who will drive today?”

A tall and thin man immediately laughs and says, ”It's me, brother Ocean.” He has a cigarette in his ear. Looking at me, he says, ”This young man has a command appearance. He must make a big fortune in future. Don't forget us when you are rich in the future.”

Fat fellow laughs, curses and kicks him. ”Is the pass ready?”

”Boss, you can rest assured!” The tall and thin man smiles and takes out the key. Then he goes to the front of the container truck, opens the door, and says to me. ”Sorry to have made you go through this. Sit in there for a while. If I stop, you must not make a noise and move around, you know?”

I nod and step into the container.

I sit in the bottom. There's a bottle of water on the ground and nothing else. Then fat fellow and the tall and thin man jointly carry a lot of boxes in and pile them outside of me. No sooner people can't see me from outside.

After a while, I feel that the truck is on its way. I don't know where the truck is driven, but I'm sure fat fellow's arrangement. If he doesn't say it, I don't ask much.

The truck on this road is running steadily. It seems to be on flat roads. In the boxes piled up in front of me, the packaging looks like some electronic components.

The truck stops twice along the way. Every time it stops, I carefully huddle in, without saying a word or making a sound. On one occasion, I even hear someone outside open the door of the container, and then vaguely hear the voice of the tall thin man grinning mischievously.

I can vaguely hear him laughing happily and says, ”Sir, there's no problem! All the goods are regular cargo. There're customs clearances.”

Then I can't hear what they are talking about, but then the container door is closed again and the truck continues to move.

I don't know how long it takes. I almost fell asleep. The worst part is that I can't go to the toilet. I've been stuck in urine for a long time.

Finally the truck stops, someone outside take away a pile of boxes. Fat fellow laughs outside and says, ”Come out, kid!”

I watch several uniformed workers come in and carry the boxes down. Fat fellow stands outside the truck and smiles at me with cigarette in his hand.
