Chapter 130: Ghost Island
Two days later, on the evening of September 29, Liu Moran and Li Luo, who learned that they were going to go on an expedition to Ghost Island—actually a tour—were very interested, and they saw the Pirates of the Caribbean at the villa for the nth time.
As an escort, Lin Xiao also yawned and finished reading, during which he ate three buckets of popcorn and a plate of foie gras, plus two cokes.
After the film ended, Liu Moran and Li Luo both asked Lin Xiao how they felt about watching the movie with bright eyes, because Lin Xiao said before that he had not seen this movie. Lin Xiao's answer disappointed them, and they even felt faintly angry, because Lin Xiao didn't care about the plot and characters, but picked out seventy-nine goofs.
Liu Moran said angrily: "Have you concentrated on watching movies?" ”
Lin Xiao said: "I didn't pay attention to it, how could I find so many goofs?" ”
The willow foam is dyed with air knots.
Li Luo expressed his dissatisfaction again: "Don't you think this movie is a classic? ”
Lin Xiao scratched his head: "What am I most curious about, do you know?" ”
Li Luo and Liu Moran are both interested, and it is always exciting for their hobbies to be mentioned.
Lin Xiao said: "I wondered, how did the heroine solve the problem of the eldest aunt on the boat." ”
This was really unappetizing, so Liu Moran and Li Luo ignored Lin Xiao and began to discuss with each other.
Captain Jack's coquettish style is the best in the world, and Kill Matt's hairstyle, weird smoky makeup, and those two lewd-mustaches are always unforgettable and deeply fascinated. Especially at the beginning of the movie, when Captain Jack walks down from the sinking ship with only the mast with an hopelessly calm bearing, it is called a surprise.
There are so many reasons why the Pirates of the Caribbean series has captivated fans and sparked interest in Age of Discovery's pirates around the world. Mystery, wild, and adventure, the interweaving of the three themes is comparable to a magical epic.
These are things that Lin Xiao can't understand, but Liu Moran and Li Luo are both avid fans of this pirate movie.
According to Li Luo's private "informant", Liu Moran had a crush on Tang Yi's facial paralysis man, and was also somewhat influenced by this movie, and it is said that Tang Yi's calm temperament is very attractive. Of course, after vomiting blood last time, no one knows whether Tang Yi's calm and elegant temperament has been discounted in Liu Moran's heart.
The reason why Liu Moran and Li Luo remembered to see Pirates of the Caribbean was because this afternoon, the head teacher Zhang Qian announced an event message, that is, the so-called school organized students to go on an outing in line with the so-called principle that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books. Of course, it is self-funded and voluntary, and the activities are arranged by the school and set for the first four days of the National Day holiday.
The most peculiar thing is that there are many destinations this time, all of which are not very famous scenic spots, but some locations that are out of the door but have a slight literary style, so it is not suitable for all classes to go together.
And the location of Lin Xiao's class is a remote island three hundred nautical miles southeast of Mingzhu City, with a peculiar name, called Ghost Island.
In order to encourage everyone to actively participate, Zhang Qian even did not hesitate to waste a class meeting class and tirelessly preach the magical legend of the ghost island. Of course, with Lin Xiao's shameless speculation, it must be the person in charge of tourism in this place who gave Zhang Qian a kickback, she worked so hard, you must know that Zhang Qian, as the leader of the team, should look forward to the fewer people as possible in order to save trouble, how could it be the opposite?
After visiting Li Xunyao's manor last time, Lin Xiao already knew that this was actually what Li Xunyao ordered Zhang Yaguang to do, and Liu Yaoyang, the teaching director, was Zhang Yaguang's brother-in-law. And that place, called Ghost Island, is where they are going to do it.
Of course, Lin Xiao would not suspect that Zhang Qian had a connection with the Zhang family or Li Xunyao.
I have to say that the legends of the ghost island are mysterious enough, and even a little fantastical, enough to make a movie.
It is said that in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, a handful of small pirates were entrenched on Ghost Island, which was called Volcano Island at that time, because there was an active volcano on it, and the island was also formed by the accumulation of volcanic ash. The reason why they are little pirates and not big pirates is because they are good pirates, they like to rob the rich and help the poor, often plunder the fleets of the Japanese and Western invaders, but they never harass their own maritime merchants, and even come to the seaside to distribute food and goods to the poor fishermen, which is deeply respected by the people, and at the same time rejected by their peers.
It was not until later that the Dutch invaded Taiwan Island and exploited the common people on the island, and the imperial court was unable to take care of it due to the entry of the Qing army and civil strife. As a result, these conscientious patriotic pirates became angry, and they began to frequently target the Dutch fleet. One day, they learned that the Dutch governor of Taibend had left his post and that a large fleet of ships had taken the gold, silver and jewels he had plundered and escorted him back to Europe. The pirates took action, mobilizing a force, including even some fishermen's boats that had fled to the island, to organize a mighty fleet to go south to intercept the Dutch fleet. The battle was fierce, but in the end the pirates won and brought all the gold and silver treasures back to the island.
Then the Dutch were furious, and they sent a number of ships and joined forces with the jealous pirates to lay siege to the island, and with great force they blew up all the pirates' ships and began to land. The pirates and refugees fought to the death and retreated to the crater and fought a fierce battle against the landed Dutch musketeers and other pirate allies for ten days. Later, the Dutch lowered the ship's cannons and bombarded the crater for three days and three nights, and in the end, the pirates and refugees were all killed.
However, the most amazing thing is that the Dutch and pirates searched the whole island, but they did not find a single jewel, half a piece of gold, and all the treasures disappeared out of thin air. In the end, they had to leave the island, but the night before they left, something strange happened. All the Dutch ships and pirate ships sank to the bottom of the sea, and everyone was stranded on the island. Then, every night, many people died, they were killed by ghosts, and these ghosts came and went without a trace, as if they could fly to the sky. And these ghosts are the pirates and refugees who died in battle.
The ghostly slaughter continued for months, culminating the island's Dutch and pirates. Since then, it has taken on a new name, Ghost Island. Moreover, many later generations have explored the ghost island with an interest in monstrous wealth, but have found no treasure at all, but have used detectors to find thousands of sunken ships on the seabed outside the island.
When he heard this, almost all the classmates were interested, Lin Xiao found that even Zhao Defu, who was comparing some sizes and shapes of silicone dolls, stopped, this obscene fat man, smacked his tongue and said to Lin Xiao: "Master, there are so many treasures, how many dolls do you have to buy!" Lin Xiao couldn't cry or laugh.
In the end, Zhang Qian also added unsatisfied, now, on that small island at night, you can still hear the ghostly song, I heard it soft but melodious.
Zhang Qian's eloquence is good, but she overestimated the courage of the girls, and when she said this, not only did she not pull too many people, but made a group of girls frightened, and they all said that they did not dare to go, and the corners of Zhang Qian's mouth twitched in depression.
