In 2019, the high seas of the South Seas.

The wind is like a sword, and the waves are like fury.

A fishing boat in the Lanfang Islands is facing a strong wind and cleaving the waves. Behind a white man's battleship, in close pursuit.

"Bang~"

With a loud thunderclap, the fishing boat was lifted several meters high and smashed back into the sea, half of the hull had already been broken.

Several sailors were instantly shocked to death, and the rest were in a mess:

"Oh no! it wasn't a towing sonar that caught the fishing net just now!"

"Captain, we've been tricked, I don't want to die yet......"

Captain Gu Kun was a rough man in his forties, with copper-colored skin, lean and thin, but his whole body was full of strength. Also the only one on board who is calm.

He has been running the sea for 30 years and has amassed several thousand-ton fishing boats and seagoing vessels to have his family business today.

With his net worth, he hasn't been on the front line for several years.

Today, it was only when he heard that another warship from the oceanic countries was coming to litter valuable garbage, and he had an itchy hand for a while out of the motive of protecting the marine environment.

After all, Soros, the financial mad dog of the Oceanic countries, killed many people in the Nanyang countries 20 years ago? Who doesn't want to make some quick money from the family and the country?

I didn't expect to be yin.

The pursuing warships approached closer and closer, completely overturning the wreckage of the fishing boat. A hypocritical gentleman on the side of the ship, holding a megaphone, shouted:

"Surrender! We won't attack you. All of this is an accident of your own making. But we are lenient and will still come to your rescue out of humanitarianism!"

Gu Kun soaked in the icy seawater, without the slightest illusion: "Rescue? can you still survive when you get on the boat?" Hehe, it's just a matter of being tortured more before you die. ”

The eldest husband died as a five-ding cook.

In this world, there are few targets that can make people use the Aegis ship as bait to come to the yin, and he is enough.

Thinking of this, Gu Kun stretched out his left hand, compared his middle finger, and spat out fragrant words: "*!"

Then, he chose to hold on to the anchor and sink himself without much words.

The other party's expression was stunned and surprised, as if he could not understand the national integrity of the Orientals.

……

"Wow~" Gu Kun squirted out a large mouthful of seawater, opened his eyes, and his vision gradually became clear.

In front of you, you can see the blue sea and sky, the white coral sand, and the medieval sailboats and water houses.

After running for half a lifetime at sea, he quickly judged that he had been washed up on the reef.

"I'm not dead, I can be washed ashore even if I sink myself?"

The resolute nerves made him ignore the severe soreness all over his body and the dizziness of his brain that had not yet completely controlled his body, and forcibly beat a carp and turned over.

The body shook a few times, but finally stood firm.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

He looked down at his body, his complexion was white and his muscles were full.

What's more critical is that a girl next to her, who was originally drying something, ran over directly to hug him and cried bitterly:

"Brother, how can I go to sea in this kind of weather? If something happens, how can I live alone? We have nothing to eat, just endure it for two days, and we won't die of hunger." ”

Gu Kun's heart was shocked: Isn't this his sister Gu Pan?

But my sister was killed by a foreign organization that had a grudge against him eight years ago!

And how did my sister become younger? She still looks like a middle school student.

"I'm reborn, right?" Gu Kun's brain shut down for five seconds, and he could only come up with this only reasonable explanation.

He vaguely remembers that when he was 17 years old, his family ran out of money because of school debts, and he almost drowned. Fortunately, in the end, he was washed back with the boat and fished up by his sister.

If that's right, he's been reborn back in time.

25 years ago, in 1994.

If so, it's easy to explain: it's no wonder that his body is so younger, and his surroundings have returned to the ancestral house of the seaside fishing village where he lived as a child—he had already moved away from the main island of the Ranfang Islands to buy a property on the outlying island next door.

Some officials may be curious: where are the Lan Fang Islands?

In fact, it is a parallel world with a height similar to that of Earth.

The only difference is that there are a few more small islands in the South Sea between Sarawak in Malaysia and the Natuna Islands in Indonesia. (Solemnly declare: This location is outside the nine-dash line of the South China Sea of the Chinese State, and does not directly border the territorial waters of China, but is wrapped by Malaysia and India)

Because of the miracle of life, the underwater polyps there have risen particularly gratifying since ancient times, so they naturally grow into some coral reefs that are outcropping.

And because of the magic of nature, when the Sarawak River was poured into the sea from Kuching, it carried a large amount of sediment, and piled up those coral reefs bigger and bigger for thousands of years, so out of thin air an island country was created, and after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, it formed a country of Han people.

In modern times, of course, the Lan Fang Islands could not escape the clutches of the invaders, and became a "protectorate" like Brunei next door, until January 1, 1984, when it ended the fate of puppets at the same time as Brunei.

In a word, this is a shrunken version of Brunei by all indicators.

The total land area is 2,800 square kilometers, and the main island is 1,900 square kilometers. In later generations, the population was more than 200,000, but in 94 it was only 80,000 - mainly because Lanfang is now poor in resources, mainly relying on fishing and agriculture, and cannot feed too many people.

After entering the 21st century, with the maturity of shallow oil field development technology, Lanfang has also discovered oil fields, which are equivalent to half of the Brunei oil field next door, about one billion barrels. Although the total amount is not large, the per capita value is very high, which has led to the population skyrocketing.

That's all for later.

As for the Gu family, it is not that they have been indigenous for generations.

Gu Kun's ancestral home is Donghai Province of Huaxia Province, and he is originally a scholarly family. In 1938, after his hometown fell due to Japanese invasion, his great-grandfather fled to Nanyang with his wife and children.

Originally, relying on his savings and academic prestige, he could be regarded as a mixed Lanfang clan in just a few decades.

It's a pity that when it came to Gu Kun's parents' generation, because they were too enthusiastic about national righteousness, they bravely became righteous on the eve of the victory in 84, and naturally their family fell into the middle.

At that time, Gu Kun was only 7 years old and Gu Pan was 4 years old, and he survived by relying on pensions and fishing while studying.

Before being reborn, Gu Kun, who was in his 40s, had also struggled for a family business. It has several 1,000-ton ocean-going fishing vessels and seagoing vessels engaged in fishing and foreign trade. He also bought a small island of land to run a resort, followed the Maldives model, and had a net worth of tens of millions.

To be born again now is to do it all over again.

However, he is not worried, because with more experience, he can take fewer detours. I believe that it won't be long before I can earn back the family business in my last life.

……

After spending two minutes trying to understand the current situation, Gu Kun patted his sister on the back: "Don't cry, brother won't take any more risks, let's go home." ”

The brother and sister stepped barefoot on the reef beach, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and returned to their stilted water house.

A stilt water hut is a wooden hut that is propped up on a tidal flat with wooden stakes, eliminating the need to lay foundations, and is common in Borneo.

If you haven't seen it, just think of it as the kind of cabin in the chicken rainforest map.

After entering the house, Gu Yu glanced at the wall calendar on the wall by the way, the date was February 1, the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and in two days his sister's school should be closed.

Of course, there is no winter holiday in the tropics, but the Lanfang people have retained the traditional Chinese culture and lifestyle, so this holiday is set up for the Spring Festival.

On the wall below the calendar, there is a wooden shelf with several baskets on which the family's food is stored.

Gu Kun didn't quite know the extent of the hardship back then, so he walked over and looked at it. There were only a dozen salted miscellaneous fish left in the basket, as well as a cup of Malay long rice (fragrant rice) boiled in porridge and a few slices of dried coconut.

As for cash, there are only a dozen ringgit left (Malaysian currency, Lan Fang is too small to have a central bank and local currency).

"How could I be so poor back then?" After seeing the tragic situation at home, Gu Kun couldn't help but dig deep into his memories.

In 94, the average monthly salary of Lan Fang was more than RM400, which was equal to 1,000 yuan at the exchange rate. It's a little poorer than Malaysia, but it's much better than the northern country of China - how many cities in China can have a salary of more than 1,000 in 94?

The Gu family has their own fishing boat, and Gu Kun can earn thousands of ringgit net income from full-time fishing. Even if I used to fish while studying, there were four or five hundred.

However, the biggest problem of the Lan side is the high price and the lack of security. Except for the cheap fish, everything else is expensive here.

So Gu Kun quickly recalled: The biggest reason for his family's embarrassment back then was the school's pursuit of tuition fees.

Compulsory education on the Lan side is only guaranteed to primary school. Both junior high school and high school fees are charged by private schools, with the tuition fee of more than RM1,000 per year for junior high school and RM2,000 for senior high school.

The school also allows you to temporarily default on tuition fees, but you will be deducted from your graduation certificate and paid off before graduating.

Last fall, it happened that Gu Kun graduated from high school and his sister Gu Pan graduated from junior high school, and the two historical debts had to be settled at the same time, which forced the brother and sister to the most difficult moment.

Poor like this, no wonder he was forced to go out to sea to fish on a windy day, and the 17-year-old was still impulsive.

……

Gu Kun was still looking through the things at home, while sorting out his memories, his sister had already put away the salted fish and fragrant rice, went to the stone stove outside the house to make a fire with mangrove branches, and boiled a pot of fish porridge.

Gu Pan knew that his brother had just suffered some injuries and needed to make up for his body, so he cooked the last rice in the family.

Gu Kun came back to his senses when he smelled the aroma of porridge, and walked to the stove following the smell.

Gu Pan handed him a bowl of freshly cooked fish porridge, Gu Kun originally wanted to be humble, but he couldn't bear the hunger after wandering, so he blew it a little and drank it in a few sips.

After drinking the porridge and wiping his mouth, Gu Kun sighed: "It's useless to blame my brother, let's eat all the surplus food, what will we do in the future?"

Gu Pan thought about it and suggested very sensibly: "I will eat fish purely from tomorrow." We only have a few dollars left in this boat, so why don't we mortgage it to Uncle Liu and ask him to borrow some money? When the typhoon season is over, it's a big deal that we will get on Uncle Liu's boat to help, and I won't study anymore. ”

17-year-old Gu Kun is already a good hand at driving a boat to the sea. If you work for others, you can really make ends meet.

It's just that the upper limit of income will be much worse than being a shipowner, and there is no rush. The advantage is stability, and you don't have to worry about the loss caused by the rise in diesel prices and the decline in seafood prices.

After this accident in his previous life, Gu Kun really escorted the boat out in exchange for a way to live. Then the brother and sister lived three years of extremely hard life before they saved enough money to redeem an N-hand boat.

However, now that he has been reborn, Gu Kun doesn't want to take more detours in the past few years.

Because he knows that the next few years will be very precious - in 98, as soon as the financial devil Sogou comes, the economies of Nanyang countries will regress for at least ten years, and the blood will be like a river, and it will be difficult to do any business at that time.

The reason why his development was so slow in his previous life, and he only became famous when he was almost thirty years old, had a lot to do with the fact that when he just recovered his vitality, he caught up with the butcher's knife harvested by Sogou.

In that case, how can the mistakes of the past be repeated?

He must make himself strong as soon as possible and keep his hands on it.

"The boat is our last means of livelihood, and we can't be escorted out. Brother will find a way, you just need to study hard. Gu Kun drank all the porridge in the bowl, touched his sister's head and taught earnestly.
