Chapter 62, Fisherman's Knife
The vehicle traveled along this dirt road for half an hour, from one side of the island directly to the other, where the waves were bigger, the beach was not seen, and there were quite a lot of cliffs.
From a cliff of twenty or thirty meters to forty or fifty meters.
Compared to the beach near the Clear Spring Hotel, it is almost like a wild place.
There are many tourists and modern facilities, but there are few modern buildings here, and there are only a few boats and speedboats.
On one side is the extremely fine sand that has been washed by the sea for thousands of years, but here it has not changed for many years, and the dangerous cliff has only a low guardrail, and the angry waves under the cliff crash on the shore, and the water vapor blows in with the sea breeze.
Anna said: "There is the Cliff of Long Live ahead, by the way, are you from the island?"
"No, I'm from Huaxia. Ye Kai said.
Anna nodded, pointed to a small stone tablet in the distance and said: "That is where the islanders jumped off the cliff after the defeat of the war, when the United States surrounded Saipan, where the island country is located, and when the bombs ran out of ammunition, the islanders jumped off the cliff from here." ”
"Well, it's probably clear. ”
Their history class was very detailed about the Asian battlefields during World War II, and they heard that there were more than 100 families and more than 100 girls' high school students on the island at that time.
When the island was breached, the commander of the island country ordered his subordinates to commit suicide together on the cliff at the northern end of the island with women, the elderly, and children with bayonets and spears.
Ye Kai also saw people worshipping in front of the stone tablet from a distance, they should all be from the island country.
"It's good if you're not. Anna said, "If we want to go to the memorial service, we will have to walk a long way, and the road we came here does not lead directly to the Banzai Cliff. ”
Anna took Ye Kai down a path, a sloping waterway that cut off the raging waves, and after crossing the waterway there was a pool the size of a basketball court.
It's actually a small pier.
Not far from the sea, there is a wooden house, the house is very old, maybe it was eroded by the sea, and the wood is mossed, which should have been demolished in Huaxia a long time ago.
Anna shouted, "Dao Ge ......"
Anyone actually lives here?
In Ye Kai's surprised eyes, a man about one meter seven walked out, his skin was blackened by the sun, the color was very dark jujube red, his hair was black curls, and he was holding a very thick cigarette in his hand.
You don't live in this kind of house, do you?
The people on this island are not poor, and the tourists attracted by this island can earn money every day while sitting, not to mention the fact that the United States pays them a subsidy of $200 per person every month.
That's right, doing nothing every day, sleeping at home and playing games has a $200 income.
"Yo, Anna. He said, snuffing out the cigarette with his calloused hands, walked up to the two of them, and said, "Didn't you just come a few days ago, didn't you enjoy it?
This man was full of the smell of the sea, the kind of salted fish that came out of the sun, but this man was not a salted fish, his muscles were knotted, and he exuded a fierce aura.
"I've brought my friend here, and I'm sorry for you to go to sea again. Anna's tone was very natural, and it seemed that the two had known each other for a long time.
After Anna finished speaking, she introduced to Ye Kai: "This is Daoge. Then he introduced Ye Kai to Dao Ge, "This is Kai." ”
Dao Ge looked at Ye Kai with interest for a while, and laughed heartily, and his eyes that looked dangerous were also full of smiles. Ye Kai subconsciously glanced at himself, but he didn't find anything wrong.
"Don't laugh, okay?" asked Anna, dissatisfied.
Dao Ge walked past the two of them, looked at the sea in the distance, and said, "Yes, but two hours at most, and in two hours a big storm is coming." ”
How do you know?
Ye Kai looked in the direction of Dao Ge's gaze, there was an endless ocean over there, only the waves rolling nearby. The white clouds in the sky are so big that they must be beautiful to replace them with wedding photos.
How can you tell what it is?
Anna wouldn't have been here for long, she mainly saw that Ye Kai was not in a good mood, so she wanted to take Ye Kai out to play, two hours was more than enough.
"Two hours is enough. She said.
Dao Ge nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go sail." ”
He walked forward with great striking, and did not forget to rekindle the fire with his cigarette as he advanced, and Anna followed behind him and pulled Ye Kai on the boat together.
It's a fishing boat, about six meters long, not a small boat, but it's old. The outside of the cab was rusty, and many places had words or numbers written in black pens.
Both of them did not take off their wetsuits, and now they only need to carry oxygen cylinders on their backs, and bring diving equipment such as masks and breathing apparatus to go directly into the water.
A few minutes later, Ye Kai was ready to make all the preparations, and he almost bit the breathing apparatus and was about to jump into the sea.
But Ye Kai found that the ship still did not move.
Before, he was holding his breath and wanted to swim in the sea immediately, but now after waiting for a long time, the breath in his heart dissipated, and at this time he didn't dare to go into the water.
This is different from swimming, where swimming is still on the surface, while diving is completely entering an unfamiliar territory, where you can't see the sky and there is no oxygen.
Anna saw Ye Kai's flickering eyes and comforted: "Don't be afraid, Dao Ge is waiting for an opportunity." She leaned on Ye Kai's side and put her hand around Ye Kai's shoulder, really treating Ye Kai as her younger brother.
Dao Ge glanced at it, exhaled a big mouthful of smoke, and said, "Now the waves are too fast, it's not easy to go to sea, we have to wait for the waves to calm down a little before we can go out." ”
He looked at the sea and said, "There should be two or three more minutes." ”
Dao Ge is an old fisherman, who believes in Jesus Christ and has lived under this cliff all his life. There is a son and a daughter, both of whom work in the city outside the city, and open a souvenir shop to earn money from tourists.
Dao Ge doesn't have much material demand, as long as there is a ship that can go to sea.
He was idle, and said some ways to look at the weather, "See that cloud, a layer of thinner clouds is slowly covering, and it is getting lower and lower, and it looks like it will soon become a rain cloud." ”
The rain clouds are clear, but now this cloud is not like a rain cloud, but according to Dao Ge, layers of thin clouds are covering, and maybe after an hour or two, it will become thicker and thicker, and it will become a rain cloud.
[You have obtained the Weather Identification Technique]
“......”
"That's it!" Dao Ge spat into the sea, spit the cigarette into the sea, and then pulled the rope violently, and a series of deafening motor sounds came from behind Ye Kai.
Like a race car, the boat almost catapulted off and the speed was raised in the blink of an eye.
"Hold on!" shouted Daoge.
Ye Kai hurriedly grabbed the edge of the boat, the fishing boat was passing through this smaller wave at a fast speed, trying to break through the wave before the next wave came, and go farther away, on the calm sea.
