Chapter 0155 - Islands
It didn't take long for Diao Yubo and Diao Yuxiang to bring a few torches, and Diao Yuliang waved the torches vigorously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Soon, the voices of the people who had just faded away rang out again.
"Young master, is that you?"
When Diao Yuxun heard this, he immediately responded: "It's me, where are you?"
Jiuqu Taining's hull gradually became clear in the night, and Diao Yuxun and the others hurriedly boarded the ship and returned to their own ship.
Before boarding the boat, several people took advantage of the light of the torches to carefully observe the situation on the fishing boat, and there were still blood stains on the ground, but there were no corpses.
After returning to the ship, Diao Yuxun gave an order: no one should leave the ship if they heard any noise or vision.
At the same time, he asked the boatman to leave for Shinomura immediately. Unable to discern the direction of the night voyage, the boatman promised Diao Yuxun to leave for Shinomura at dawn the next day.
Early the next morning, a strong wind suddenly blew on the sea, and Jiuqu Taining's ship belonged to a medium-sized ship, but no matter how big or small you were a boat, as long as you encountered strong wind and waves, it would be useless.
Ships sail in a storm like rootless duckweeds, completely out of control of their own fate. The huge wave about two feet high on the port side fell and hit the deck, and everyone hid in the bottom of the cabin, praying that the storm would leave as soon as possible.
I don't know how long the ship was bumpy, but the sea gradually returned to calm, and everyone came out of the cabin to the deck to take a look, and there was a vast sea in front and behind, and they couldn't see where they were now.
In the face of nature, the power of human beings is really very small. Therefore, why the Zhuang family has been looking for the treasure of Nim Mountain for generations, the mantra is "The treasure of Nim Mountain, there is a fate to get it; "Such a precious peerless treasure known as "Emperor Sorrow", how can you find it casually?
Diao Yuxun hurriedly asked the boatman where they were now, and the boatman said that he had never been to this sea area before, and he was indeed not familiar with it, but judging by the sun alone, if they still wanted to return to Xiaocun at this time, they would have to go southwest.
After these events, everyone's determination to give up the treasure was strengthened, and everyone agreed that the most correct thing to do at present was to go back to Shino, and the sea was really a mysterious place.
The boatman then ordered the oarsmen to change shifts day and night, and to move forward in the direction indicated by Sinan to Shinomura.
After a morning of walking, the boatman came to report, saying that he saw traces of an island in front of him, and asked Diao Yuxun if he wanted to land on the island.
Diao Yuxun thought for a while, "It's better not to, it's inevitable that there will be a lot of dreams at night, let's hurry up!"
The boatman then instructed the oarsmen to go around the island and continue southwest.
Not long after, the boatman came to report that the island looked too big to be bypassed.
Diao Yuxun asked, "How long have you been walking around the island?"
"It's been at least two hours! Son, I'll tell you the truth, I've been on the boat for so many years, and I've been on the boat for most of my life. I didn't say that I couldn't get around the island for two hours, because the East China Sea is a serious sea, and it is a vast and boundless sea, and there will be no particularly large islands like this. ”
Diao Yuxun asked, "What do you say?"
"Son, you don't know this, but if it's such a big island, it must be connected to the land. It is understandable that there is a large island near the village, after all, it is close to the land. But in the middle of the sea where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, there is no way to have such a big island!"
The boatman thought for a while, and said to Diao Yuxun: "Let me explain to you like this, although our ship is not sailing fast, there is no reason why this island is still in front of us after two hours." Generally speaking, the islands are nearly circular, and we can at least go around the island in a circular route, but now this island, how to put it, has always been straight, without any intention of bending. ”
"Boatman, I don't take the boat, I don't know what you mean, can I please explain it again?"
"The island is either very large or elongated. ”
After the boatman finished saying this, Diao Yuxun was stunned for a moment: I have never heard of a long island! Although it is said that the world is so big, the rectangular island is too unbelievable.
"I'll go up with you and have a look. With that, Diao Yuxun followed the boatman to the deck.
There is a boatman on the lookout on the mast who is calmly observing the island, Diao Yuxun has kung fu, so he came to the lookout platform three times and two, the so-called lookout is not the kind of platform that is really built with wooden planks seen on TV now, in fact, it is a pole horizontally on the mast, which can be used for people to sit on and look.
Diao Yuxun and the boatman sat side by side on the lookout and observed the island, and there were also people on the deck looking at the island together.
It didn't take long to hear Diao Yubo's "huh", and then he also climbed to the lookout, which could only carry two people at a time, so the boatman climbed down.
"Young master, I found a thing that needs to be studied with you. Diao Yubo said after coming up.
"Senior Brother Yubo, please speak. Diao Yuxun knows that this Diao Yubo always looks at everything with a skeptical attitude, and in our current words, he is very materialist and dialectical, that is, he doesn't believe in anything and has to figure it out.
This kind of person is usually quite annoying, because he says that there is no logic in this matter when you say anything, but his skepticism is most useful when it comes to unbelievable things.
"Young master, do you see that bird?" Diao Yubo pointed to a seagull flying in the sky at this time.
Diao Yubo mentioned the bird when he came up, and Diao Yuxun was also very strange, "Well, what's wrong?"
"Is there anything special about this bird?"
Diao Yuxun was stunned for a moment: From such a distance, can you see what is so special about this bird?
"I can't see it. Diao Yuxun said.
"Less master, generally speaking, the island is dead, right?
Diao Yuxun nodded.
"But you look at this bird, it's been flying for a long time, and you're looking at its position relative to the sea level, has there been any change?"
When Diao Yuxun heard him say this, he took one look at the bird, and then at the island, and after doing so several times, he also discovered this problem: although the bird was struggling to fly forward, it seemed that it had been flying on the island all the time and had never left.
In terms of the relative velocity of our physics, the bird and the island move forward at the same speed, which is why it looks relatively stationary. In other words, the island is moving, and it has a certain speed of progress.
