Chapter 8 chapter eight

1 It's so late, what is Sun Yanping doing here?It was eleven o'clock at night when Zhao Zhentao received a call from Sun Yanping.Zhao Zhentao just came back from the Beilong Investment Promotion Project Conference in Beijing, and he really wanted to sleep comfortably.He wanted to postpone seeing her until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but she would never agree, as if she would not live without seeing him.For some days, he did not see Sun Yanping.It's not that this woman doesn't want to see him, but that she can hardly find him, and he hasn't lived in this house for a long time.Nannan is about to take the exam, she will transfer to Beilong, and will move here in a few months, he wants someone to tidy up a beautiful room for his daughter.

Zhao Zhentao hesitated for a moment. If Sun Yanping frequented this place, it would have a bad impact on the psychology of the man.He asked Sun Yanping to bring the car over, and he followed her to another place. It turned out that Sun Yanping was at the door when she made the phone call. Zhao Zhentao came out wearing a windbreaker, checked that no one was around, and then got into her car. In the dark, Sun Yanping said, "Mayor, where are you going?" Zhao Zhentao was stopped by her question, and he casually said on the phone that he was going to another place, but in fact he had no goal.Sun Yanping smiled lightly: "Let me take you somewhere!"

Zhao Zhentao worriedly asked her where is it?Sun Yanping smiled and said that it must be something you are satisfied with, but it scares you.Zhao Zhentao waved his hand, meaning to go with you. Sure enough, Sun Yanping took him to a very safe and quiet place. Zhao Zhentao knew that this was the famous Changtai Garden Villa in Beilong.The villa is divided into three floors and covers an area of ​​500 square meters. The facilities are very luxurious: the walls are made of sandalwood, the floor is made of imported materials, especially the luxurious floor lamps in the reception room, the lights spill on the pure wool carpet like a waterfall.

Zhao Zhentao asked, "Whose house is this?" Sun Yanping said calmly: "My house! Don't you have the mayor?" Zhao Zhentao immediately remembered that Lei Juan had said that Sun Yanping's husband Li Guanghan was arrested in the villa. Sun Yanping poured Zhao Zhentao a glass of foreign wine, handed it over, and sat on the yellow leather sofa beside Zhao Zhentao.Zhao Zhentao smelled the perfume on her body, saw that her breasts were still very straight without a bra, and saw that her face was covered with thick makeup, which covered the fine lines on her face, but could not cover them. Her inner torment.Zhao Zhentao said: "This is the villa you often invite me to see? Your property? It's really rich!"

Sun Yanping said dejectedly: "Are you praising me or hurting me? Alas, everyone in this world has something to be proud of, but I don't. I can only use this house to satisfy my vanity!" Zhao Zhentao took a sip of foreign wine and said, "Don't try to be cheap and good-looking. The people in Laoxie Bay are counted. I'm afraid you, Sun Yanping, are the only ones taking advantage of such a villa? You should be content!" Sun Yanping's eyes slowly turned red, and her eyes seemed to want to take him in: "I'm content, why not? If you say this, I also want to say something. Everyone in Laoxie Bay is counted, and they are the biggest ones. The official is you, Zhao Zhentao, right?"

Zhao Zhentao smiled wryly and said, "Don't mention it, what a crime it is to be a great official. This winter, I have been so busy with my heels! The Beilonggang project, the railway project, it's okay to have money, and you can ask people for money everywhere! You say I'm Is it easy to be mayor?" Sun Yanping said angrily, "Don't complain to me. I came to you tonight because I want you to hear about my Sun Yanping's suffering." As she spoke, she burst into tears. Zhao Zhentao felt that this woman was extremely smart, and her neural network was as sharp as a newly made spider web.Perhaps her cleverness delayed her.Women are like this, cats and dogs for a while, and you will never be able to understand them.In the past, Sun Yanping was always arrogant. He hoped to see her submissive appearance, and her timid tears.

Sun Yanping said sadly: "Zhentao, don't think of me as a bad woman, okay?" Zhao Zhentao said: "This is what you think. In fact, when we broke up, I didn't think you were bad. It's just that I can't accept you anymore, because the most precious thing in you has made you walk on the road of life lost!" Sun Yanping's eyelashes drooped: "No matter what you say, I won't be angry, because you gave up your rest time to be with me. Women are water, and when the water floods, it will be a disaster. Now I finally understand that it is life. Dirty me! He got me dirty!"

Zhao Zhentao knew that what she was referring to was Ma Yinkui, the former secretary of the commune.He later heard that it was Ma Yinkui who introduced her to Li Guanghan. Li Guanghan did not love her, but because Ma Yinkui, who became the deputy county magistrate, promoted him from a worker in a bicycle parts factory in the county, and Sun Yanping was just one of them. trade.Even in the provincial capital, he often heard news that Sun Yanping and Mrs. Ge had made a fortune. Like her mother, Mrs. Ge, Sun Yanping walked into the shopping mall with a deformed mentality.He often heard her say that once a woman is shameless, she can make a lot of money.Zhao Zhentao comforted her and said, "Yanping, is that why you came to me at night to tell me this?"

Sun Yanping looked at him with fiery eyes: "Are you in a hurry? Don't expect to sleep tonight. I saved you on the village road in the past. Today, when my life is at stake, you can save me!" Zhao Zhentao was taken aback: "Is it so serious?" Sun Yanping wept and said, "Why is it not serious? Today, I divorced that bastard Li Guanghan! Divorce!" Zhao Zhentao took a breath: "Why? When his accident happened, you and your mother desperately found someone to save him, but he came out, but—" Sun Yanping shook her head and said, "Actually, it happened sooner or later. We have had troubles a few times! Husband and wife should be in the same boat. We are in the same boat with different dreams, so why are we in the same boat? We worked hard to save him because we have common interests: If something happened to him, the company of my mother and I would be over. I hate Li Guanghan, so I don't blame you at all."

Zhao Zhentao said, "What do you blame me for?" Sun Yanping smiled and said: "At noon that day, my mother and I had dinner with you. Lei Juan followed her and exposed Li! I know that there is no impenetrable wall. You don't want to meddle in his affairs. I understand. In fact, Li Guanghan is still a loyal person. I have always wanted to do something for him, because he has credit for our business. This time I am even with him!" Zhao Zhentao said, "You're calling me confused." Sun Yanping's gentleness made Zhao Zhentao unwilling to think deeply, as if he was in a dream.Sun Yanping continued: "You are pretending to be foolish! Just pretend, who doesn't pretend these days? If you forget, forget it, who doesn't forget these days? But I don't want to pretend to be with you. Since you came to Beilong, how can I pretend? I can’t leave you behind either. I didn’t know until I was middle-aged that I’ve loved someone in my life and let me destroy it! You hate me and avoid me, I understand. In fact, I don’t look for you because I’m afraid of myself Ruined your career."

Zhao Zhentao said: "Do you think I have completely forgotten you? In fact, I am also very lonely!" Sun Yanping bit her lips tightly, and said with tears: "You are not alone, you are not alone! You are the mayor, and you hug each other every day. You men have far more desire for power than women. You Avoiding anything about me! You are condescending to watch my excitement! Your adoptive father, Mr. Zhao, has a hard time with us, and there is still love, and you, Zhao Zhentao, will not forgive you!" Her crying was suppressed by something, and it became It's dumb. As soon as the woman cried, Zhao Zhentao panicked. He smiled wryly: "Tonight, I will let you talk about everything. If you do this again, I will leave!" He said and got up to leave. Sun Yanping hastily wiped away her tears and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so impulsive! I'm in a mess today, and I feel better when I say it. If you don't come, maybe I'll commit suicide again by cutting my wrists. Don't believe it, you Look at my arm—" She stretched out her white arm. Zhao Zhentao saw two bracelet-like scars on her arm: "Why are you doing this? Let me tell you, it was money that burned it! Burned it!" Sun Yanping's eyes lit up: "Okay, I'd like to hear you say something about me harshly. People don't look like people when they start a business! What is business? Business is bribery! What is being an official? Being an official means accepting bribes. I I’ve seen it a lot. Li Guanghan bribes, why can’t he deal with it? It’s just uprooted radish with a piece of mud, and the whole area is a large area! I won’t be surprised if Lei Juan catches anyone now, there are few stupid people like you, Mayor Zhao People!" Zhao Zhentao said very seriously: "I don't want to hear about your poisoning. There are plenty of honest officials like Secretary Gao in Beilong." Sun Yanping stared and said, "Who can prove that he is an upright official? Does he have a label on his face? Just because he protects Secretary Chai Defa of Yanhua, and the relationship between Secretary Chai and Lu Guoying, then—" Zhao Zhentao said angrily: "Sun Yanping, you are not allowed to make irresponsible remarks to Secretary Gao! These are superficial phenomena, rumors! Do you know Secretary Gao's feelings for Secretary Chai? Do you know Secretary Gao's feelings for Beilong?" Sun Yanping said timidly: "Don't get angry? Well, let's not talk about your official affairs. I am in a hurry to find you today because I have an important matter." Zhao Zhentao looked at his watch and said, "It's already two o'clock, tell me quickly, I will accompany President Li Kedong of the Singapore Weitian Consortium to visit Beilonggang tomorrow." Sun Yanping widened her eyes and asked, "What is he investigating? Is it the Phoenix Development Zone?" Zhao Zhentao said: "President Li Kedong wants to fully cooperate with Beilonggang. What? You are also interested in Beilonggang?" Sun Yanping said: "My mother asked me to find you. My aunt Ge Yumei is the vice president of the Hong Kong Ge Group, and the president is my uncle Gregory. My aunt called and said she would come to Beilong. Beilonggang Phoenix Development Zone has generated strong interest!" Zhao Zhentao said with a smile: "Well, Beilong sincerely invites customers from all over the world, and welcomes foreign investment. At that time, we will have a reward policy for you as a matchmaker." Sun Yanping said: "I don't want rewards, just don't hide from me. I'm helping you, the mayor, attract investment! My aunt wants our preferential policies here!" Zhao Zhentao said with great interest: "The Beilong Municipal Government has just issued a preferential policy: For foreign-invested enterprises operating in the development zone, a 20% income tax will be levied. Income tax will be exempted for the first two years. Land use right transfer fee And the land use fee, there are the following benefits—” Sun Yanping giggled: "Look at you, a workaholic, you get excited when you talk about work. I can't remember your policies, so please give me the materials. You have a strong sense of responsibility. This is your strength and yours." Your shortcomings. You should be careful and learn how to make money. Does my sister-in-law use the money overseas? Does the man use the money to go to school? With your little salary, can you use it? " Zhao Zhentao said: "How do you say I make money? I, Zhao Zhentao, can't handle corruption and bribery. It's impossible to start a company. I'm the mayor. How can a mayor be a manager?" Sun Yanping said seriously: "It's really stupid, just like you when you were a child. Who told you to take bribes? You are at the front desk, and I am behind you! I figured it out, my mother is still messing with Li Guanghan and the others, so I want to withdraw Come out. I want to set up a separate company, and the location will be located in the Phoenix Development Zone of Beilonggang. Fenghuang, I like this name. I don’t need to ask, I know it’s your name as soon as I guess it! Right?” Zhao Zhentao nodded: "How do you know?" Sun Yanping's eyes brightened: "Have you forgotten, back then we were in Liuzhiye's small clay shop, and you took me over. This place was originally called Fenghuangtan, and you must have named it after that." Zhao Zhentao shook his head: "When I named this name, I didn't think of you. I was aiming at the memory left by this land." Sun Yanping said: "You are a pen in Beilong, and my company is waiting for you to grant me a piece of land, a piece of cheap land." Zhao Zhentao said vigilantly: "Impossible, you should follow the standard. Don't drag me into the water! Matters of principle are non-negotiable!" Sun Yanping said with a gloomy face, "What's the use of me knowing you? Those who don't know the inside story think that I, Sun Yanping, have benefited from you!" Zhao Zhentao stood up: "It's getting late, let me go! Remember, in the future, if you have good wine, you want me to drink it, and don't expect me to do things to make a fortune. Also, the boy is going to Beilong No. 1 Middle School to go to school Lah, you'd better not look for me at home, call me if you have something to do!" Sun Yanping said: "I remember! Nannan, can you let me take care of Nannan for Meng Yao? When I went to the provincial capital that year, you took her out for dinner. I like her very much." Zhao Zhentao said, "No, my place is not far from the school, so you can just get busy!" Sun Yanping asked again: "It's so late, how about staying here? I won't do anything to you!" Zhao Zhentao said firmly: "Let's go, take me back!" Zhao Zhentao got into Sun Yanping's car and drove on Xinhua Road in Beilong.Seeing the light rain falling in the night sky and seeing Sun Yanping's frustrated expression, he thought: He could have given her a real promise to make up for the past between him and her.But what could have been done was impossible for her.As long as he did it for her, it was a power-for-money transaction.What he fears most is time and life to demand debts from him. Debts must always be repaid, but the power entrusted by the people cannot be used.A woman like Sun Yanping is like a knife, it must be stained with blood to end the fate. He tried his best to suppress his emotions, silently facing the darkness in front of him.Darkness is easier to expose the truth than light, as long as you have the eyes of the night.If you talk about corruption, do you think you have a sense of corruption just now?But which corrupt bureaucrat always feels that he is engaging in corruption?Probably it was conscious first and then slipped down bit by bit.There will be many people in this world who are willing to accompany you to ascend, but absolutely no one will accompany you to sink.You have to be vigilant, Zhao Zhentao!He warned himself: beware of this warm and terrifying late night. The wet asphalt road was deserted by car lights. 2 When Zhao Laogong squatted in Laohekou and instructed his apprentices to build a boat, Zhao Xiaole abandoned the boat and came to Haigang Primary School.He hasn't seen Teacher Mi Xiuxiu for a few days, and he always thinks of her in a bad way, sick?Or was he wronged at school?He was always looking forward to Teacher Mi coming to beg him, begging him to vent her anger for her.Every time he came to school, he could see Mi Xiuxiu teaching students to draw. Once he saw her asking students to draw his white stubble boat, which made him very proud.But Teacher Mi is not at school today. I heard from other teachers that her mother who is far away in the mountain village is sick, and she has gone to see her at home.Zhao Xiaole really wanted to go to the mountain village to find her, and also to see Mi Xiuxiu's mother and the small mountain village where she was born.After he had this idea, he couldn't sit still, he was anxious to ask his father for money, and fearing that his father would object, he wanted to ask Siju to borrow some money. When I arrived at Siju's hatchery, Siju was not there, and the person on duty said that she had gone to Zhu Zhu Hair Salon in the harbor to get her hair cut.Zhu Zhu opened a gallery?Maybe not that Zhu Zhu?When he found Zhu Zhu's hair salon, he really saw Zhu Zhu, who was oiling Siju's hair.Zhu Zhu became fatter, became thick and strong, his buttocks were big and round, and he was fully flexible in his trousers.But her face is very attractive, with a round face and a high nose, she is more foreign than in the village.In the past, she was very fierce, and she was a lover who wrestled with Xiao Le on the beach, just like her father Zhu Quande wrestled with Zhao Laogong.When the port was shut down, she was released mercilessly. Zhu Quande wanted to ask Zhao Laogong to find Zhao Zhenshi to intercede, but Zhu Zhu himself quit. She said that opening a hair salon in the port was very profitable.In the future, whoever has money will be the master, and who cares whether you are a worker or not?It was ridiculous at first.She convinced her parents.Only her good friend Siju knew that her disappointment in harbor work was because Gao Tianhe didn't love her.After a period of tossing, Zhu Zhu compared and compared, and she really felt that Xiao Le had many advantages, so she begged Si Ju several times to intercede.Si Ju made her lose her mind, Xiao Le now has Mi Xiuxiu in her heart. Zhao Xiaole hesitated, wandering outside the hair salon. Zhu Zhu was the first to discover Xiao Le, and shouted openly: "Xiao Le, come here, are you afraid of seeing me, or—" Zhao Xiaole didn't expect Zhu Zhu to become so straightforward, he walked in hesitantly and asked Siju for money.In front of Zhu Zhu, he didn't say what he wanted the money for, but Siju wouldn't give it to him if he didn't say so. Zhu Zhu said: "Xiao Le, the matter between us is over. Don't miss me. We live in a village, so why bother?" Zhao Xiaole smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Zhu Zhu, why don't you work at the harbor?" Zhu Zhu said while working as the head of Siju: "Getting that little salary in the seaport and being managed by others, it's better to be a self-employed person. Xiaole, in the future, you can come to me for a haircut!" Siju said: "Did you hear that? Thanks to you being an old man. Zhu Zhu said, the past is over, and if the business fails, there is benevolence and righteousness." Zhao Xiaole asked unconvinced: "Is the object for business? You are still literate people! Zhu Zhu, did Siju tell you? If she and Liu Lianzhong stop you, your little life will be gone long ago .” Zhu Zhu glared at him and said, "Don't mention that incident!" Zhao Xiaole smiled: "Zhu Zhu, in fact, when I saw you today, I lost my anger. Everyone makes mistakes. Didn't I also go to prison back then? In fact, we are even! From now on you will be My sister! Just like your father and my father are brothers. When you get married, don't forget to give me a message!" Siju giggled and said, "You two should have been reunited a long time ago, what's the matter?" Zhao Xiaole said with a stern face: "You are wrong, this is not called reunion after broken mirrors, but reconciliation. There is an essential difference!" Zhu Zhu pouted and said, "Sister Siju, don't try to imitate others. Don't they have a sweetheart? Teacher, painter! Tell you Zhao Xiaole, don't make a mistake with me? Don't forget, your brother is The mayor is your brother's business, you are still a fisherman!" Zhao Xiaole smiled and said: "Don't tell me, I, Zhao Xiaole, really want to follow your Zhu Zhu's old path! For Teacher Mi, I have decided to work in the seaport! I am not a fisherman!" Si Ju was taken aback: "Xiao Le, really? You're not lying to me, are you?" Zhao Xiaole said: "Really, I won't lie to you. In fact, I don't want to go fishing if there is no such thing as Mr. Mi. He is a grandma, the sea is very polluted, where can there be seafood? Tell me, in the past, this It’s the season of noodle fish, so this year it’s just a hairy one!” Siju nodded: "That's right, the sea is bad, crabs and shrimps are rare. The clams on the clam beach have also moved away. Maybe there will be a red tide!" Zhu Zhu asked, "Xiao Le, what are you doing at the harbor?" Zhao Xiaole said: "It's fun to drive a dredger!" Si Ju asked: "Have you told Dad? Did Dad let you?" Zhao Xiaole said confidently: "Brother agrees, and Deputy Commander Xiong of the harbor also nodded, can dad not agree? This time I am also a fucking worker!" Siju smiled and said: "Xiao Le, you want money, do you want to go to see Mrs. Mi's mother?" Zhao Xiaole asked in surprise: "How do you know?" Siju said: "Ms. Mi went home to Beilong to reverse the car and take the car in our field! I asked her, and I also asked about her impression of you—" Zhao Xiaole asked anxiously: "What did she say about me?" Si Ju kept silent, Xiao Le shook her arm. When Zhu Zhu pulled him away vigorously, Liu Lianzhong came in.Liu Lianzhong glared at Zhao Xiaole and said, "Xiao Le, don't you brat be rude to my Siju!" Zhao Xiaole said: "Is there an extra donkey's face in the manger? You ask Siju to give me the money, and I will leave immediately!" Liu Lianzhong said, "How much do you want? I'll give it to you!" He took out his pocket tightly. Si Ju flipped through the small satchel and said, "Xiao Le, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!" Zhao Xiaole made a grimace and said, "Siju is afraid that I owe you a debt, Lian Zhong, this shows that your kung fu is not up to par!" Si Ju glared at him and said, "Fuck you!" Zhao Xiaole took the money and staggered away. Liu Lianzhong waited patiently for Siju, and even went up to blow Siju's hair in person, but Siju still ignored him.After Liu Lianzhong contracted the paper mill, he often dumped waste water into the sea, posing a serious threat to Siju's farm.Siju approached him several times asking him to give up this broken factory. Liu Lianzhong was tempted by Yiyi, and he was red-eyed and refused to let go, because he had tasted the sweetness.Siju and other farms jointly filed a complaint with the County Environmental Protection Bureau.When the Environmental Protection Agency came to inspect his paper mill, he was fooled by him. He stopped working during the day and worked overtime at night, and the dark green waste water still flowed into the sea. Liu Lianzhong was not very angry with Siju for suing him. What annoyed him was Siju's close relationship with harbor technician Gao Tianhe.He also heard that Siju led the neighbor's pregnant woman to the Salt Hospital to treat Gao Tianhe's eyes.The problem he was most worried about appeared, he was afraid that Siju would dump him, and he was also afraid that Siju would repeat Zhu Zhu's tragedy.Wasn't Zhu Zhu kicked away by that little boy in the city?Siju said that Gao Tianhe was not what you imagined at all, he couldn't talk about getting rid of Zhu Zhu, he never loved Zhu Zhu at all.The quarrel between him and Siju became more and more tense, so that Siju stopped talking to him.He has never been able to figure out, what kind of magic does Gao Tianhe have to seduce the girls in Laoxie Bay fascinated? Siju dried her hair and went out. She started the motorcycle, but was grabbed by Liu Lianzhong.Liu Lianzhong said painfully: "Siju, is there anyone in this world who loves you more than me? You can't ignore me!" Siju said loudly: "Please let me go, please show some respect. Have I said that I want to marry you? Am I your private property? Tell you, you are the director of the factory, and I am also the director of the factory!" Zhu Zhu poked his head out and smiled, sticking out his tongue. Liu Lianzhong begged and said: "Siju, I put aside so many things in the factory and came to see you, because I want to talk to you!" Siju said: "If you don't give up your paper mill, I have nothing to talk to you about!" Liu Lianzhong was so choked that he couldn't speak. He knew Siju's temperament, and he had learned it when he was in school, but he liked her temperament of distinguishing between likes and hates.At the same time, he also thought in his heart, why didn't she understand that he worked so hard, wasn't it for the good life of tomorrow for him and her? Seeing Liu Lianzhong blocking her way, Siju thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's have a good talk!" Siju asked Liu Lianzhong to go to the greenhouse of her hatchery, but Liu Lianzhong didn't know her intention, so he followed her.He saw the patterned scarf around Si Ju's neck being blown up and down by the wind, like a big bird fluttering on her shoulders, her rosy face was extremely lively and watery, obviously dyed by the spring breeze in April. Siju asked the worker to bring out a pot of dead shrimp seedlings. Liu Lianzhong was stunned: "Why do you let me see this?" Siju said: "This is a shrimp seedling polluted by seawater." Liu Lianzhong asked, "What does this have to do with me?" Siju became angry: "You said it had nothing to do with you, it's because you discharged the sewage and poisoned the sea water, that's why you died!" Liu Lianzhong denied it and said: "Such a big sea, why do you keep staring at my paper mill if you don't talk about others? The superiors have checked and the sewage discharge is qualified. If you don't believe me, go and have a look!" Si Ju scolded: "You are a dead duck with a hard mouth! I don't think you will cry until you see the coffin! Show you this list!" She handed over a form. Liu Lianzhong saw the words with the sewage discharge data of Laoxiewan Paper Mill: "Where is this? Our paper mill is not like this! Who framed me here?" Siju said loudly: "This is the result of the high-tech technicians in the harbor. Don't look at your treats and gifts, you can fool the Environmental Protection Bureau, but you can't fool Gao Tianhe! He is a marine expert!" Liu Lianzhong said bitterly: "It's Gao Tianhe again, this kid is just trying to get in trouble with me! How can you believe his fart?" Si Ju scolded: "You're the one who farts!" With red eyes, Liu Lianzhong tore up the test sheet and threw it into the hatching pond.The little shrimps used their little heads to push the pieces of paper. Siju said emotionally: "Lian Zhong, we are old classmates and friends again, today I will tell you the truth, please calm down. Don't blame the high-tech, I asked him to do the test. He is the technical consultant hired by us. Let’s not say anything big, let me just say, let’s talk about the sea. We all grew up eating seafood, and the sea is our reborn parents. In the past, you also As an incubator, you know the quality of sea water best. Isn’t your wealth a gift from the sea? If you dare to betray the sea, you will be punished! You don’t even love the sea anymore, so you can love it well in the future I, Zhao Siju? Ah? Say what you want!" She couldn't continue, and choked up. The incubator was so quiet that Liu Lianzhong's breathing could be heard. Siju said excitedly: "Do you think my Zhao Siju is too small-minded to tolerate you? No! I am speaking for my conscience. You pat your chest and ask your conscience! I know that a lot of paper is needed to launch a horse in a seaport. Yours Paper mills can make a lot of money. But once people are obsessed with money, their feelings are so thin, and their hearts are as hard as coins!" Liu Lianzhong shouted hoarsely: "You, do you know who I am for? Look at the people all over the world, they are all courageous and fast-paced. Who is still as conservative as you?" Siju was shaking with anger: "Get out, get out! I don't want to see you!" Si Ju's eyes were like a strong slap in the face, suddenly hitting Liu Lianzhong on the face, and he left with red eyes.Siju felt that he should close his own factory, or install necessary waste water treatment equipment.But she always thinks better of him, she thinks, did she scold Liu Lianzhong very much just now?Can he accept it?At this time, the color of the sea was very scary. Facing the dark red sea, Siju hung down her black hair in a bundle like a horse's tail. Si Ju never thought that Liu Lianzhong would go further and further away from her. Instead of going to the factory, he went to the seaport to find Gao Tianhe.Gao Tianhe was in the lab, his eyes were damaged by the sand spray, and he could only look at things with squinted eyes. He couldn't see Liu Lianzhong's appearance clearly, and he didn't know that Liu Lianzhong had accumulated anger in his heart.He is a nerd, thinking that Liu Lianzhong was specifically asking about seawater pollution, so he made the problem very serious.Liu Lianzhong was intentionally reserved at first, but after he finished speaking, he moved his hand, knocked off his glasses with a punch, and then warned: "Gao, I heard that you are an orphan, how do orphans behave? Do you understand? If you play Siju's ghost again, be careful of your dog's eyes! Haven't your eyes been washed with milk? If I make a move, even bear's milk can't wash your eyes well!" Gao Tianhe was stunned: "I don't understand, who are you?" Liu Lianzhong said loudly: "I, Liu Lianzhong, don't do secret things! I am the director of the paper mill, and you don't need to interfere with the affairs of our factory, understand?" Gao Tianhe suddenly felt that his dignity was insulted. His face and eyes were extremely serious, but he was trembling slightly.He snapped, "Pick up my glasses, please! Pick them up!" Liu Lianzhong said loudly, "What if I don't?" Gao Tianhe said: "I'll find Siju right away! I was hired by their hatchery. I'm their technical consultant. It's my duty to test wastewater!" Liu Lianzhong yelled and called the management of the harbor, and when a villain came, he filed a complaint first, and then walked away swaggeringly.Gao Tianhe was so angry that he couldn't say a whole sentence for a while, and watched him walk away eagerly.The person in charge of the technical department of the seaport is an old lady. She introduced Xiao Gao several times but was rejected, so she objected to Gao Tianhe's part-time job as a technical consultant in Laoxie Bay.Afterwards, the eldest sister also brought this matter to Xiong Dajin. After Xiong Dajin thought about it, he transferred Gao Tianhe to the dredger, asked him to do research on the mainstream and residual currents of the ocean, and told him not to cause trouble again.Siju called Gao Tianhe twice later, but he deliberately didn't call back.He didn't want to destroy her marriage with Liu Lianzhong. Isn't Zhu Zhu and Zhao Xiaole's marriage change terrible?His mood gradually calmed down. Siju was kept in the dark, self-criticism from the heart, what made Gao Tianhe unhappy?Or did he feel that he had paid him too little salary?No, Gao Tianhe is not that kind of person.She quickly denied herself again.At present, the seawater is deteriorating, and red tide may occur. How can we overcome the difficulties without the help of high-tech personnel?Siju's heart became more and more uncertain.She put the dead shrimp seedlings into a small bottle and went to the laboratory in the harbor to find Gao Tianhe.Seeing the eldest sister in the technical department, she suddenly realized that Liu Lianzhong had done something wrong.She was so angry that her chest heaved and her face was flushed, but she didn't say a word. Siju asked Xiaole to go to sea to find Gao Tianhe. When Zhao Xiaole's white stubble boat approached the dredger, Gao Tianhe hid secretly, and he didn't want to see her again.Siju didn't see Gao Tianhe, so he went straight to the paper mill to find Liu Lianzhong.The paper mill is still running at high speed, and the sewage is blatantly flowing into the sea.Liu Lianzhong was not happy to see Siju, and felt a little flustered.Before he could speak, Siju raised his arm and slapped him hard on the mouth.Liu Lianzhong covered her mouth in a daze, Siju had already slumped down on the sofa, trembling all over, and then, two huge teardrops flowed down from her closed eyes slowly and slowly. 3 Zhao Zhentao has a conditioned fear of late-night phone calls.His good friend Li Deqing who was far away in the provincial capital had a car accident, and someone called in the middle of the night.Meng Yao, who was learning to drive a car in Australia, crashed into a black old lady in a tourist group, and she also called late at night.At that time, Meng Yao asked him to send her money immediately, otherwise it would be difficult for her to enter the classroom.Uncle Meng Yao's parents blamed her for not letting Zhao Zhentao tell his family in the provincial capital, let alone the men and women. She cried and said that she could work part-time to earn money and pay back.Meng Yao cried so hard that he couldn't bear it. As the mayor of him, he wanted his wife to work abroad, and no one would believe him if he said it.For Meng Yao to go abroad, Zhao Zhentao almost spent most of his savings, and suddenly asked him to take out 50,000 yuan, which made him worry all over the place.It was Siju who took out 50,000 yuan from the prepayment for shrimp seedlings to save him. That day, he and Xiong Dajin returned to the command post from the No. 1 harbor basin night battle site and just fell asleep when the phone rang.Who is calling?He started to panic again when he received a late night call at the construction site in Beilonggang.The call was from my daughter, Nan Nan, who was far away in the provincial capital.Nannan cried and said that she had almost collapsed, and asked her father to come to the provincial capital quickly, or she would commit suicide.Zhao Zhentao's head thumped, and every nerve in his body was tensed.He asked what happened to the man?The man broke down in tears and said that she had failed in the mock exam for higher education, from the original third place to the fortieth place in a straight line, she was sorry to her parents, she was ashamed to live.Zhao Zhentao persuaded his daughter on the phone.He knows that men and men are closest to him, and his daughter will tell him when she is in love with a boy named Zhao Jinghu in the class, but not her mother.Nan Nan is a strong girl, she is not ordinary strong, she once vowed to be admitted to a prestigious university in Beijing, and then take the TOEFL test to enter a university in the United States.She said that her parents are so good, she will be sorry for her parents if she can't learn well.Zhao Zhentao usually advises her to act according to her actual ability, father believes in you.The call late at night was from a man and a man from the school reception room.He could hear the stern scolding of the teacher next to him.While retorting back at the teacher, the man said to Zhao Zhentao: "Dad, after my mother left, I found that I was finished, and I was no longer the best! I fought against fate and finally lost. If I walk too much, the nightclub Damn it! One day, I know it will come! Daddy, I want to see you before I leave this world." Zhao Zhentao heard that the man was in a state of confusion, and he said incoherently: "Man, both father and mother love you, and grandma and grandpa, we can't live without you! You can't live without us either! Right?" The man and the man were crying and talking, which almost made Zhao Zhentao unable to hear clearly.Zhao Zhentao asked the teacher beside her to answer the phone. He begged the teacher, "I am Zhao Zhentao, the man's father. Now I am far away at the seaport construction site on the coast of Bohai Sea in Beilong. I can't go back immediately. Please take good care of her. She My mother is not in the country. Our Nannan is a fragile child, please take care of her, I will send another person there! I beg you." The teacher said angrily: "This child is too outrageous! The students in the dormitory are so noisy at night that they can't rest. There is no sense of community! You should come to your family!" The man snatched the phone from the teacher and said in a hoarse voice, "Dad, don't waste your time talking to her. She is not a teacher, but a dormitory worker. She is a laid-off female worker who has reached menopause! Dad, farewell!" Hang up the phone. Zhao Zhentao put down the phone and was stunned for a long time, walking up and down on the ground with bare legs, looking devastated.He knows that the man's temper and the sharp drop in the exam are one aspect, and there must be other reasons.Could it be lovelorn?In the past, he and Meng Yao tried their best to stop her early love. Now that he has gone to Beilong and Meng Yao has gone abroad, will men and women fall in love without restraint?No matter what, Nannan must be brought to Beilong to go to school.He sat in front of the phone anxiously waiting for the phone to ring again, but it didn't ring. Zhao Zhentao's forehead was sweating, and he didn't dare to call his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Finally, trembling, he called the male and female aunts in the provincial capital.It is conceivable that they would be horrified when they received a call in the middle of the night.As soon as he told about the dangerous situation of the man and the man, the old aunt and uncle went to school in panic.他看着手表，算计着他们到学校的时间，等待着那边的电话。今夜的赵振涛第一次体验到做父亲的难处。他在反省着自己，对女儿太不关心了。大概还有十天男男就要升学考试了，如果男男真的出了什么事，他将无法面对两边的老人，无法向孟瑶交代，更无法面对自己。北龙港拖得他太深太深了。 两个小时以后，男男老姨终于打来了电话，说她们已经把男男接到家里了。赵振涛还要与男男说话，老姨说男男刚才打了镇定针，还是让她睡一觉吧，有事明天再说。赵振涛终于长出了一口气，躺在床上稀里糊涂地睡下了。想不到啊，男男的事真让他想不到——这一夜，他做了很多的噩梦。 没有顾上吃早饭，赵振涛就把电话又打到男男老姨家里。老姨说，听老师说男男已经三天没睡觉了，她还在睡着。还是让他给猜着了，男男就是因为早恋才使学习成绩直线下跌的；又是因为失恋，精神受到打击，以致濒临崩溃的。那个男生赵京虎转学了，他母亲把儿子领走时，还骂了男男。男男说她不怕失恋，她不能接受的是，赵京虎竟然为抵触母亲的反对，为她而触电。多亏抢救得及时，不然就将酿成大祸，但男男想见他一面都不能如愿。 赵振涛生气地一拍脑袋，骂道：“这个孩子，太不像话啦！太不像话啦！”老姨不让他对男男发火，说男男太虚弱了，她会给男男找个很好的心理医生，诊治诊治。眼下还有十天就考试了，先让男男对付过去这个考试后，就让她到北龙换换环境，然后让孩子重新开始。赵振涛放下电话站起来，觉得有些头晕，心力交瘁使他感觉脑部供血严重不足。 早饭后，赵振涛与熊大进和黄国林副总指挥商量工程进度问题，黄国林负责着预防风暴潮的挖河工程。他说工程遇到了很大难题，前面有一段马上要挖到老蟹湾村的老坟地了，这里的渔民不让动，强行挖恐怕要与老百姓闹僵。领头阻拦的是赵老巩和葛老太太。赵振涛想了想，说：“不管遇到多大难度也要干下去。赵老巩是我义父，葛老太太又是孙艳萍的母亲，好多事我不能直接插手。你们最好与盐化县的领导沟通一下，请他们帮助！就说是我说的！” 黄国林走后，熊大进又把赵小乐想进海港工作的意愿跟赵振涛说了。赵振涛问工地上有没有小乐能干的活？有的话就让他到第一线去。不要因为他是我弟弟而搞什么特殊化！熊大进笑着说，我很喜欢你这个弟弟，没什么文化，可他很纯朴，讲义气！到挖泥船上可能大有用场！赵振涛想了想说，也好，让这小子摔打摔打！商量完一些杂事之后，赵振涛说他要回北龙政府处理一些其他事情。他还告诉熊大进：“这几天有两拨外商到港口的凤凰开发区来考察投资项目，一拨是新加坡维天财团的李克栋总裁，还有一拨是葛老太太的姐姐葛玉梅，她是香港葛氏集团的副总裁，你抽出时间来陪陪，其他人照样施工。具体接待工作由市政府安排。” 熊大进点点头说：“前天高焕章书记到工地上来了，批评我们工程进度远远不如北线的铁路工程。我们是不是调整一下？” 赵振涛摆摆手说：“别听大老高的，他就是那么个脾气！他跟他老爹似的，运用的是人民战争。他把那四个县的农民都赶到路基上，工程粗糙，我们不能这样做。北龙港的质量比什么都重要！” 熊大进说：“你就别担心质量。我们按你的指示办了，工程招标，既不是总价招标，也不是老高他们搞的单价招标，而是费率招标。这就大大避免了以前出现的'漏斗'现象。我还让施工单位在各自的施工段上雕刻上责任人的名字，责任到底，将来出了工程事故，责任人永远要负责任的！” 赵振涛笑着说：“这个主意不错！既然这样，马上重建的跨海大桥也要用这样的施工方案。” 熊大进问：“盐化方面听高书记的，他们能同意？” 赵振涛坚决地说：“还给他们，还给我弄个豆腐渣工程！我早已把跨海大桥纳入我们北龙港的规划啦！” 熊大进说：“那高书记能依你？” 赵振涛说：“港口的二度工程、施工招标，我不是顶住啦？看来他高书记也是纸老虎！你硬他就软！他那套老皇历也该改改啦！” 熊大进说：“人跟人就是不一样，看的出来高书记与赵市长感情铁，这要是胡市长，早就不行啦！” 赵振涛还要说什么，熊大进的对讲机响了，他急匆匆走出了指挥部。赵振涛看着他渐渐消失的背影，觉得留下熊大进是对的，不仅为弟弟小乐留下了米秀秀，还白得了一个十分忠诚的于将。熊大进懂港口建设的规律，精通技术，几乎为工程倾尽了全力。他一刻不敢松懈，像一个老管家似的在工地上来回穿梭，事事走在庞大工程的最前面，从资料管理、工程质量，到工程进度，都让到工地考察的市人大代表无话可说。作为总指挥，赵振涛特别欣赏他的还有一条：事事严谨，到了关键时候还能顾全大局。他与施英民最大不同的是，从不在工程中收不合格的钢筋和水泥，更不从中谋利。盐化城里有一家公司偷偷送回扣给他，他当着指挥部众人的面，把三万元的回扣款如数上缴，还激动地对众人说，过去我们的堤坝是防十级以上的风暴潮，可六级的风暴潮就垮了，为什么？是我们心里缺少坚硬的堤坝，心里虚弱，怎能够防风暴潮？把它交出去，心里就硬了，我们的大堤就能预防十二级的风暴潮！我敢这么说！这话传到了赵振涛耳朵里，赵振涛就在市委常委会上讲了，博得了大家的喝彩。赵振涛最佩服这样的人了。 胡勇从北龙调到了渤海岸边的黄连市，他还是市长，他在那里还是要建煤港。这个港口刚刚启动，也是省委潘书记环渤海“陆海空”整体战略的一个重要棋子。因为是刚刚勘测，声势还没有造起来。胡勇几次来北龙港挖熊大进走人，还许了好多的愿。熊大进说，他本来是想带着侄女秀秀到黄连去的，可他碰上了赵振涛，就不想走了，并不是北龙港有多高的待遇，而是他喜欢上了这个年轻的市长。他还说自己是北龙人，不能眼睁睁看着北龙港毁在风暴潮里。这不仅是一个伟人的梦，也是北龙人的梦啊。施英民已经给他丢丑了，他是不是得挽回这个面子？他终于把胡勇说服了。胡勇说黄连港等着你的参与。熊大进满口答应着，说只要我老熊还有一口气，北龙港一通航，我就找你报到。他知道，黄连港是为了运输神木煤田的原煤面启动的。神木位于陕西、内蒙和山西三省的交界处，是国家新发现的大煤田。神木铁路不仅穿过刀削斧凿的太行山，还要穿过沟壑纵横的黄土高原。但铁路建成了，港口没能跟上。 看来胡勇和高焕章一直闹不来，胡勇是专门趁着高焕章出差时才到北龙的。赵振涛宴请胡勇的时候，胡勇对赵振涛开玩笑说，我胡勇带着几万建设大军又浩浩荡荡地开进了黄连港，将来等着你来二度创业呀！说者无心听者有意，赵振涛知道胡勇调离北龙有情绪，他苦笑着说，你快饶了我吧，我这辈子就跟港口嫖啦？你胡市长的屁股不好擦呀！冲着你给我留下熊总指挥的面子，你胡勇的屁股我还是愿意擦的！说着就大笑了。胡勇不在乎赵振涛说他什么。 脑子里越想越乱了，赵振涛估计男男该醒来了，就又打了电话，果然是男男接的，他这时听男男的声音是很正常的。男男轻声地向他道歉，说知道爸爸忙，不该在深夜里打扰他，男男保证刚强起来。赵振涛脸上松活了，他没再深问原由，只让她忘记一切烦恼，全力准备考试。他许愿说，考试那天他将赶回省城去看她。跟女儿通完电话，赵振涛就决定去工地上走走，然后再回北龙。 赵振涛从凤凰开发区走到工地上，心里涌动着一种激情。后来他在工作笔记中这样写到：如果说我们北龙大地的春天有故事，这个故事就发生在渤海岸边的北龙港。这个渤海湾的大陆架自诞生以来，从没有展现过像今天这样荡气回肠的场面。那涌动着的褐色脊梁、高耸着的蓝色吊塔和挖泥船上喷出的黑色泥沙，构成了一部时代交响曲。它以气吞山河的慷慨悲歌创造着一个伟人灵魂的归宿。我这个从老蟹湾走出来的人，第一次懂得了什么叫做劳动创造一切。面对凶猛的风暴，凭着一身肝胆，无路难，开路更难，所以后来人才为你感叹。记得一位伟人说过，我创造，所以我生存！如果孙中山先生灵魂有知，重返渤海湾，面对开发时代的生机和复兴时，肯定还会撰写出一部实业计划的续篇—— 北龙港，人们将从春天的故事中重新认识你。 4 赵小乐到小山村去看望米秀秀的老娘前，特意打扮了一番，穿上了西装。老太太很喜欢朴实、健壮的赵小乐，问他是干什么的？他支吾着，咬牙撒了个谎，说他是海港工人，同秀秀一个单位。老太太已看出是喜事来了。赵小乐观察着米秀秀，她似乎也挺虚荣，没有把他渔花子的身份说破，就顺坡下驴地应着。整个小山村都轰动了，说米秀秀领来个海港工人，听说还是北龙市市长的弟弟，村民们纷纷前来观看。 回到老蟹湾，米秀秀就把赵小乐领到熊大进的指挥部。指挥部里挤满了人，简直就像作战司令部。熊大进将一顶蓝色安全帽交给赵小乐，叮嘱他说：“我跟你大哥沟通过了，他说你愿意来就来，不能搞特殊，要到第一线上劳动。那你想干什么？” 赵小乐高兴地说：“开挖泥船。” 熊大进笑着说：“开挖泥船也是一门专门技术，和你一直开的渔船两码事。这样吧，把你分到海上挖泥作业组，用你的渔船送饭、送材料、来回接送工人。工地运输力量不够啊。你的船用柴油和破损费都由工地支付，行吧？抽空你再学学开挖泥船！” 赵小乐满口答应着，不时用眼睛瞄着米秀秀。米秀秀微微地笑着不说话。等走出指挥部，米秀秀叮嘱小乐好好干：“你别看我姑夫挺温和，真正发起火来连你大哥都敢撅的。” 赵小乐憨憨笑着说：“俺不怕大哥，怕你姑夫，更怕你哩！俺是为你才到港口的！……” 米秀秀嗔怪地说：“你别咱俩咱俩的，谁答应你什么啦？”说完脸就红了，赵小乐则怪模怪样地瞅着她笑。 赵小乐上工的第一天就很争脸。这天天气不好，不是风暴潮，而是海上涌起了海流子，使筑坝工地和挖泥工地与陆地失去了联系，施工材料运不过去。更令熊大进焦急的是，中午饭也运不上去，使第一线的工人空着肚子施工。赵小乐满打满搂地说，他能够闯海流子！熊大进拍着赵小乐的葫芦头说：“看你的啦，不过，要注意安全。你要是有个三长两短，你大哥不饶我啊！”赵小乐说，那你就瞧好儿吧。 等食堂师傅装上干粮，他就驾船闯海了。老蟹湾的海流子涌起的浪头并不很大，它的淫威出自海底。一股一股纵横交错的海流子，吞噬渔船击断帆桅，就像传闻中的一样令人毛骨悚然。老蟹湾曾有多少先人死在黄龙潮里。赵小乐天生就是歪腚葫芦邪路种，偏偏喜欢独闯海流子。以前潮来了，他的大肚蛤蟆船就到泥岬岛低价收鱼虾，闯几个来来回回后再高价批发给等潮的渔贩子。渔人都说赵小乐聪明过人，不是凡人，每根汗毛孔都是一个心眼。 黄雾渐渐和淡淡的海雾化在一起，使黄昏的气息越发浓了，海鸟群和同被贼风击碎了的墨云惶惶怵怵掠过海面，冷嗖嗖的贼风像海鸥折断了的翅膀似的与浪沫一同拍打着赵小乐的脑壳，海底轰鸣之声可闻。赵小乐呱嗒一下子落下了灰不溜秋的老帆，架着老船朝泥岬岛移去。穿透雾帘子，他瞧见拢到泥岬岛的渔船还稀稀拉拉的。他没有直接迎上去，而是悄悄地挑进泥岬岛肉赘儿似的臂弯里，她了锚，斜腰拉胯地靠在舵楼里十分悠闲地吸烟。他的鬼精之处就在他从不逼人就范，他要等渔人们无望闯岸，眼睁睁看着拿命换回的虾蟹变成一堆废物之前，才鬼头鬼脑以救世主的身份出现在渔人面前。不知怎的，米秀秀的倩影又在他脑子里闪跳了一下，他的眼睛就一忽一闪的：俺要能娶上那娘们儿，就是汽车轧罗锅子——死也值（直）了。呼呼隆隆机帆船的马达声敲击着他的耳膜，他感到喉咙口发干了，就很费力地咽了口唾沫。 他又朝泥岬岛望了一眼，看见渔汉子大眼儿正跪在井口旁双手合十一撅一撅地磕头。大眼平时老跟赵小乐套近乎，也想一夜之间发大财呢，但赵小乐不尿他。可他没想到今儿大眼儿已经抢在他前边收购了几筐黄螃蟹和海带鱼。等赵小乐的大肚蛤蟆船逛荡过来时，大眼儿已经跳到槽子船上跃跃欲试地想闯海流子了。 大眼是个渔民，刘连仲大伯的儿子，他不知道赵小乐是为港口工人送饭来的，还以为赵小乐要跟他抢生意，就要抢在赵小乐之前把海货从岛上收过来。大眼不服气地哼一声，扑甩着肥大的裤管下的脚片子，虎虎地钻进舵楼子，额头上的青筋勃勃跳动，粗门大嗓地吼一句：“老少爷们儿，你们就瞧好吧！”说完缩回头，驾着船颠进疯魔似的海里。 赵小乐气得怪怪异异地扭歪了脸相，嘟囔道：“哼！哪个裤裆没系好露出这么个玩意儿！”渔人们看着远去的槽子船又看看赵小乐，觉得他的脸有些怪，怕是要出啥事儿：“小乐，大眼那小子愣，别跟他怄气。”“大眼儿哪是你的对手？怕是鸡毛点灯，十有九空。看他家老爹的份上你去护护驾吧！” 赵小乐一直没说话，闪闪跌跌走到土坡子上，从裆里掏出一线尿来，籁籁流出的水线勾出一个亮亮颤颤的半圆。他一边系裤子一边说：“老子是送饭。”说完得意地眯起眼跳上船，在睫毛间玩弄着万道金光，接着又笑了，笑出威武强悍来，最后他黑眼珠暴起：“狗日的，有好戏看呐！”吼完，蛤蟆船就一蹦一颠地走了，甩下咿咿哑哑的声音嘲弄着岸上渔人日子的狼狈。 天色灰麻重浊起来，浪头子扑扑咬咬地涌来涌去，疹人沉闷的声音如铆船钉船的声音从大海腹中传来。赵小乐将觑成一线的目光一截一截探出去，肋帮上就有一棱肉噗噗弹跳着。他看见了大眼那条青灰色的槽子船如一条死鱼在浪里跌落跃起。他知道大眼儿不敢贸然闯海流区而在来来回回调控着。“黑瞎子撞井，熊到底儿啦！”他骂着，加足马力追上九一股浓重的油烟子味呛得他脑仁疼，他忍着，关严了舵楼的所有窗子。 浪头子大了，满世界轰轰闹响着，浪沫子团团片片溅起老高，又纷纷如雨般砸下来，冷气阵阵。赵小乐瞪圆了眼，十分专注地盯着暴烈的海面，揣度着海流子区。海流子能在眨眼之间让你帆布变孝帽一步归西，也能让你腰缠万贯。 不一会儿，他就模模糊糊瞧见了大眼儿的槽子机帆船。大眼儿是背着他爹干的，他在滩上人五人六挺气派，到魔口张开的当儿就草鸡了。“大眼儿，狗日的，快回去！心比天高，命比纸薄呢！”赵小乐重重地吼着，就灭了舵楼里的柴油机。 大眼儿铁青着脸，冲赵小乐吐一口浓痰。赵小乐没再回嘴，弯腰撅腚拿塑料袋子将柴油机包个严严实实，然后甩掉黄背心，裸着紫铜色的膀子，矮身钻出舵楼子试试风向，就又扯起湿漉漉的老帆。老帆兜满风，鼓起肚子，哗哗有声，赵小乐站在帆下觉得自己像个率先攻上碉堡的勇士。他手里装氧气的黑布袋子被抖得呼呼作响，一副很飘逸的样子。 大眼儿眼巴眼望地盯住他手里的黑布袋。小布袋变得空幻神秘，纯纯粹粹一个精灵。大眼儿愣神的一刹那，赵小乐黑憧憧的影子像个幽灵似的，扎进了海里，丢下空船像个没有灵性的棺椁吃水很浅地逛荡着。大眼儿心里发空，惊讶地望着船帆在贼风里翻卷着，拐搭拐搭地下沉，像吊死鬼的舌头舔着海面上的涩腥味儿。黄雾和海流子紧紧围困着大眼儿，苍穹沉重地压在他的背上，黛色的波涛下，传出冷嗖嗖的声音。他慌了，当下腿一软，竭力猜想着赵小乐在水底的样子。 此刻赵小乐正像一条灵巧的海泥鳅，脚片子一搧一搧地在海底穿行。大海醉了似的摇舞，一道道砭人肌骨的海流子缠磨着他，他身子被撕扯得歪歪扭扭，耳鼓灌满了滋滋的闹响，奇形怪状的海藻也来抓他，缠他，耗他的劲，磨他的神儿，一束硬硬的海草在他脸上划出一道细长的血口子。他咬紧牙，运足气力，不时拽出系在腰间的氧气袋子换气儿，继而臂膀一顶一拥，抽出腰间的鱼刀连连剁着海藻和海草。死亡的气息在他身边幽幽行走，一股儿霉涩味儿涌进他的鼻腔和肺部，火辣辣地痛。他顿时觉得两只眼珠如盐花般炸开了。他拿身子来感悟此时此刻海流子的宽度和大体流向，他的每个汗毛孔都是眼睛，都能极敏感地接收海流子传递给他的某种信号。 他歪扭了脸，又换一口气，眼前晃起斑斑点点的亮，脑袋里仿佛打了个闪，似在警告他该回游闯流了。但他还要十分耐心地钻进海里侦察一番，他有足够的勇气和耐力征服大海里被渔人视为谜一样的东西。他在琢磨海流的同时也常常要忍受一个渔人游魂般的孤独和寂寞，米秀秀的影子又在他脑里晃了一下，单相思的火焰竟烧得他忘记了海流子冷彻骨髓的寒凉。 他眼前宽阔了，水流子像银灰色的链条哗哗啦啦地抖动，无情无义地抽打着他的身体。他疼得鬼追似的，感觉身上肿起一道一道紫色的肉棱儿，鼻孔腥涩涩地堵得慌。他一抠，挖出一团肉囊囊的海藻。他恶狠狠地在心里骂一句，就触摸到了他那条嘎嘎裂响的大肚蛤蟆船。他低着身子，壁虎似的将身子贴到麻扎粗糙的船底板上，一点一点地引船涉入海流区。他频频踢蹬着双腿，两只大掌死死托住船底，一拧一拧保持着平稳。一股斜刺里冲过来的海流子将人和船冲歪了，拧得老船一阵痉挛，哗啦一下子，老船就在海面上消失了。赵小乐发狠地保持着平稳，竭力使船按着侦察好的海路钻行。海流子时急时缓，他恍然觉得自己和海流子之间存在着某种强悍的默契。 “水浸的鬼，该招海神爷报应啦！”望着久久不露船影的海流子区，大眼儿幸灾乐祸地咒着，烂眼圈都给憋红了。他嫉恨赵小乐。哗地一个大浪，激溅起一道一道残阳泡透的晕虹。晕虹转眼就破碎了，落下一个个跳跃不定的光圈。远远的，光圈落下的海面上，一杆松桅斜挑着水涝涝的灰帆探出头来，继而整个大肚蛤蟆船也浮上来，抖落了一身稀汤薄水，透着明亮庄重的孤傲。赵小乐像头小海怪爬上船板，细细查看一下船舱，舱里没漏水。他的舱密封绝好，花了大价钱的，遗憾的是竟没人看得出来。他神神气气地走进舵楼，解开柴油机上的塑料布，轰一声马达响起来。黄雾稀了，像是有一只神手扯去了黄蒙蒙的雾帘子，他抬头都能看见远处透着深沉，平坦空阔褐黑色的海滩，以及蚁一样的人影。他感觉到人群骚动了。他扭回头瞅了一眼大眼儿的槽子船，远远地吼道：“回吧，孬种！”吼完，他就依稀听见来自挖泥船上的欢呼声贴着水皮儿滚过来。大眼儿无法忍受他的奚落和嘲讽，眼睛在烂眼圈里打着骨碌，莹莹地闪着疯狂的绿。“操他妈！”他骂了一句，甩落上衣，也学着赵小乐的样子扎进海里。 大眼的勇猛使赵小乐震惊，一种不祥的预感和说不明白的悲悯攫住了他。他不再前行，而是不错眼珠地盯着海流子区。粗糙的浪头子一下一下涌着，大眼的槽子船也拐搭拐搭地下沉，末了就剩下一个翻花的水泡儿了。不长的时间，赵小乐听见大海腹中传出嘎啦啦焦干哑闷打雷一般的声音，一股股浪头子来回翻卷，卷一阵子，海面上突然浮出船底板，一闪，就消失了，留下一片模糊的茫白。赵小乐当下腿一软，知道出事了。他猴急地钻出舵楼，一猛子扎进海里朝海流子区游去。他的脑袋扎出海面时，看见桅杆和白帆如一块白膏药贴在浪头子上一颠一闪地远了。赵小乐料定大眼儿的船已颠散了，当务之急是寻人。他顺着海流子钻去，两条胳膊东一甩西一甩刮拉着大眼儿。他知道大眼儿从小就心劲太盛，他真后悔自己不该激他，这号人逼不得的，踩着乌龟出头越逼越糟，最后会落个船毁人亡。流动的水气掀出恐怖的声音，贼凉的海水在他周围颤颤涌涌。他触摸到一片海藻，伸手一扯，碰到了温乎乎滑溜溜的东西，是大眼儿。大眼被海藻缠住了，还在一蹬一蹬地无力挣扎，嘴里大口大口地灌着腥咸的海水，脖子伸得长长的，也没能探出海面。赵小乐拼命拿渔刀剁着海藻，被海藻划破了血口
