After the Xia Yuan Festival, it is not far from the Spring Festival of the summer calendar.

The area of Chang'an and Luoyang in the northland is now the middle of winter when the wind is howling and the ice and snow are in the sky.

And this isolated island in the southern wilderness is a midsummer time when the sun is like fire and flowers are everywhere.

Under the same blue sky, the temperature difference between the north and the south is the difference between the ends of the world, which can not be explained by the reincarnation of the 24 solar terms of the Han family, and can only sigh the miracle of creation.

On the mainmast of our merchant ship there was a wooden post that marked the day.

The first thing Brother Lin did when he woke up every day was to use a short knife to carve a thick vertical line on the wooden pillar.

One line represents one day, and one year is 365 vertical lines.

In ancient times, there was a knotted rope to record things, and now there are engraved lines to record the day, although it is crude, it is also very convenient.

Without this wooden pillar, I forgot what year, month, and day it was, and it would be dangerous to walk in the sea!

After the dismantling of the original merchant ship, this wooden pillar was left and planted by me in the field next to the camp.

Last night, I dreamed of the distant Qingfeng Ze homeland, and this morning I got up and stood quietly next to the wooden pillar for a long time.

On the tenth day of the fourth lunar month of the fourth year of Long'an, there are still 20 days left for the year to pass.

In the spring of the second year of Long An, we returned from the Eastern Roman disaster, and in the spring of the third year of Long An, we led a caravan to cross the green mountains and go to the Tianzhu Buddha country, and in the blink of an eye, it was the spring of the fourth year of Long An.

Life is too short, and it is a sin to not accompany your loved ones at home, but to waste time on this isolated island thousands of miles away! Sin too!

The construction of the merchant ship progressed rapidly, and in a trance, this behemoth was already taking shape.

During these days, Qin Chong and I had to hunt dozens of sea beasts every day, stripping them of their fur and sewing sails.

There is no tung oil on the island, so the fat from the belly of the sea beast is used instead.

Desperate survival is really helpless, and the Buddha knows not to blame me.

The process of shipbuilding is complicated, and each process has to stop for a day or two after the end of the process before moving on to the next process.

In his free time, he is not only digging for cassava sake and storing wine, but also cruising around the island in search of fun.

It is not a problem for the huge island to feed tens of thousands of people, if it were not for the lack of female dependents, on this island to establish themselves as kings, settle down and work, and be happy like a fairy.

It was a pity to leave those beautiful wild girls on Luzon in the first place, and with them together, we are not so lonely now.

They are all young and middle-aged people who swallow like tigers, and some of them have inexhaustible strength.

Either die on the battlefield, or die in the spring boudoir of a beautiful woman.

Such hard work day after day is too boring, and everyone's hearts are full of resentment.

It's better to have something to do every day, and treat these plank logs as enemies in this world, or your own mother-in-law, and vent wildly.

And when there is nothing to spare, there will be many contradictions and battles.

A provocative look and a word that is not inferior will lead to a life-and-death struggle.

Brother Chun and Lin Qing were originally like brothers, but because of the ownership of a tool, they hit the beachhead to the end of the island.

Anyway, if you don't agree with each other, your fists and feet intersect, and all of a sudden, a dozen of your own brothers have become demon kings of the mixed world with long thorns.

After the fight, they led the battle to us outsiders who were traveling with the ship.

I am the sworn brother of the ship's owner, Brother Lin, of course, the guys didn't dare to provoke me, so they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and they aimed all their fingers at Qin Chong and the two of them.

Lin He even threatened to do all

The bad luck is brought by us outsiders, and when the ship sets sail, we will leave the three of us on this isolated island.

Although this old brother has a bloody nature, how can he be Qin Chong's opponent, as soon as he got close, he was thrown a foot away with his belt.

Seeing that his brother was humiliated, Lin Qing, Brother Chun and others also rushed up, and I didn't have time to stop it, and I was kicked and beaten by this General Qin.

Qin Chong, the chief knight general of Cezanne Persia and the fierce general who took the head of the enemy in the million-strong army under the city of Antioch, is not in vain.

"Qin Chong! Stop! Don't make amends to Master Lin yet! ”

Such a scene was out of control, and I yelled at Qin Chong.

Once the suspicion of bullying the master is settled, it will be difficult for everyone to get along together in the future.

Of course, Qin Chong is a sensible person, knowing that it is powerful, he quickly stopped and bowed to Brother Lin and apologized: "Qin Chong has no intention of provoking, and he also asks Lin Ye to punish the crime!" ”

"Hahaha! Chong Zai! What a sin you have! These reckless men should teach you a good lesson, I should thank you! ”

Brother Lin and I were wandering on the beach, and when we heard the sound of the fight, we both rushed over.

"Brother Xian, what the hell are we doing here! Drink and go! Hahaha! If they have the ability, they will make trouble in the sky and poke the sun into a hole! ”

They are all brothers in life and death, and their courage and ruthlessness are made by blood and boredom, and there is nothing right or wrong.

The head that was just beaten was bloody, and in a blink of an eye, it will be reconciled as before, and Brother Lin and I will get involved in it, but it will make the matter bigger.

Sure enough, at lunchtime, Lin He took the initiative to hold half a bucket of potato wine to salute Qin Chong and ask him for advice on how to use his fists and feet.

Qin Chong, the fiery brother, has convinced Lin He and Brother Chun, the younger brothers on the boat.

But it is not a long-term solution to go on like this, in case you accidentally make a crippled person's life, the scene will not be easy to clean up.

So after my brother Lin discussed, he decided to lead everyone to have some fun in his spare time.

And the only way to have fun is to take all the guys on a tour of the island.

Find some feelings that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, and cultivate a little family and country feelings.

All the guys are in favor with both hands, and I know all too well what these boys are thinking.

They hoped that during the cruise, they would meet the wild women of the indigenous people.

Dew couple, a bad relationship, die without regrets.

Therefore, the master said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and if they are close, they are not inferior, and if they are far away, they are resentful.

The land of the isolated projectile has been visited many times before.

For the next month or so, we went back and forth from south to north or east to west every three or two days.

In addition to the ubiquitous seabirds, the abominable sea beasts, and the stiff and boring palm forests.

Cassava is everywhere, and we have long been tired of eating it as our staple food.

In short, because there is no favorite beauty to accompany them, this place of mountains and seas, which was originally like the Outer Heaven God Domain, has lost its original color in the eyes of these teenagers.

Walking in the mountains of this island, there are many stone statues of different heights scattered among the barren grass and forests, lonely and lonely, which is very similar to our current destiny.

So I suggested to Brother Lin that I choose a sunny slope and move these stone statues over.

Let these stone people who can't speak be able to rely on each other from now on, and grow old with heaven and earth and no longer be lonely.

Brother Lin hit it off, and he was idle, and he could do a good deed every day with all his strength, which was a matter of pleasure for those who feared the gods.

The next day he led us to the front of the mountain with ropes, crowbars, iron axes, knives, and saws.

In fact, the location of the stone statue is an open hillside facing the sea, and it is covered by the rising vegetation because of the age.

The stone statue is as tall as a mound and can easily move thousands of catties, if it is really all by manpower to move, it is far from enough to rely on our more than ten people.

So what we can do is to clean up the grass around the lower statues, and then roll the higher statues down the mountain.

The relocation of the statues was far from being as simple as imagined, and it took us half a month to dig a pit and plug it.

In the early spring of the following year, when our merchant ship was about to be completed, a row of more than a dozen stone statues of different heights finally sat on the shore of the sea in a uniform manner.

It is like a family that has been in the same house for several generations, and under the leadership of the elders of the clan, they are waiting for the distant wanderer who has returned from the sea.

And this wait is a thousand years.

The returnees are our Han families in the East.

With the rising tide, the men removed the supports in the dock, and the merchant ship slid steadily into the arms of Mother Sea.

The south wind on the sea is gradually rising, and the merchant ships are about to set sail, and there is no way to tell a thousand words, only to raise a lamp to worship the sea and sky.

The newly renovated hull is spacious and clean, and the fragrance of palm oil is everywhere, which is a world of difference compared to the grass and liao where you stay on the shore.

All spices, sea pearls and other goods are transported into the hold first, and then the newly brewed cassava old wine is served.

There are more than 50 barrels, about 3,000 catties, enough for us eighteen drunkards to drink for a year and a half.

Finally, there are the stored dried potatoes, fresh water for drinking at sea, and the men's belongings.

Thirst is worse than hell, and while the merchant ships were under construction, Brother Lin heeded my advice and doubled the bilge where fresh water was stored, so that we could use it for a month at sea.

Now everything is really ready, only the east wind is owed.

After a year of tossing and turning, and hard work, now suddenly stopped, everyone felt extremely lazy.

Sleeping and drinking day and night, the days fly by.

In the drowsiness, half a month has passed by in a snap of a finger.

Recently, I have returned to my heart like an arrow, and as a distinguished guest of Brother Lin, I have not had too much hard work on the island for half a year.

So my schedule went as usual, and I took the initiative to take on the responsibility of watching the merchant ships during the day.

One afternoon, on the horizon where the northwest sea and sky are connected, more than a dozen faintly moving black shadows appeared.

Like a group of sea whale sharks foraging for food, it is more like the canoe of the indigenous wild people of the Southwest Islands.

The joy of living in the mountains and wilderness for a long time and meeting the people of the world made my heart surge, and my hands holding the snail horn trembled violently.

"Guys! Come and see! The fleet of savages is coming! God live up to me! Hurry! Hurry! ”

Regardless of whether the other party was friend or foe, he could not contain my ecstasy at this moment, and he raised his arms and howled wildly.

The shadows were getting closer, and the aboriginal canoe was no longer in doubt.

There were three or five wild people sitting on each boat, waving the wood pulp in their hands and treading the waves.

Now that the southeast wind on the sea has become strong, these wooden boats are already at the end of their crossbows when they go against the wind

From time to time, the wooden boat was overturned by the waves, and the overboard natives who were good at swimming struggled several times before they climbed back onto the boat.

Without the help of external forces, they would have little chance of landing.

Seeing that the island with us is about to pass by.
