The Malay, a 50-foot-long two-masted cargo ship with a draft of 20 tons, was originally used by the owner Zhao Laosan to go out to sea to fish for pearls, but later the business was sluggish, so it was used for transportation. Tao Zhangcheng and Sun Xiaoyun and other five backbone members of the Liberation Society took this boat to find Li Xiehe in Penang Port in Malaysia. Several of the ship's crew were wearing patched dirty pants and sweat vests, but they looked muscular and muscular. Zhao Laosan was also wearing a pair of coarse torn trousers, but he wore a pair of yellow boots on his feet, and when he walked on the deck dangling, he could see at a glance that he was the boss of the ship.

Sun Xiaoyun disguised herself as a man and squeezed into the aft cabin with Tao Zhangcheng. The cabin was too low for one to stand up straight, and the ceiling was blackened with smoke from kerosene chandeliers. There was also little space in the cabin, and they spread their respective mattresses on the deck, with three sleeping sideways and two more sleeping sideways in the doorway. A small lifeboat was stuffed between the bulwark and the cabin.

The first few days of the mast ship had just dropped anchor and the wind was tight, but the sun was shining and the sky was blue. Tao Zhangcheng and Sun Xiaoyun went to the deck and stood under the mainsail and spinnaker. Sun Xiaoyun watched the ship move forward rapidly, and the blue waves rolling in the sea, and his mood was excited. Tao Zhangcheng's mood at this time was very mixed: he felt that he was an island, and he didn't know which ocean he would be submerged in the future.

When the ship was still thirty or forty nautical miles from the port of Pinang in Malaysia, a fierce monsoon wind blew on the sea, and the white waves were rough. Zhao Laosan hurriedly led the boatman to put away the front sail and tied the bucket with fresh water. From time to time, strong winds hit the mast ship, a wave four or five meters high, the sea water rushed to the deck, and the people on board seemed to be standing on the cusp of the storm. At this time, a large dark cloud drifted over, and the torrential rain fell at an inopportune time.

Sun Xiaoyun was a little seasick and wanted to vomit, but Tao Zhangcheng helped her to the cabin to rest. The hull of the ship seemed to be enchanted in the wind and waves. It swayed, and it fell to its side and came violently. The two of them also tossed and turned in the cabin. Sun Xiaoyun was a little scared and almost fell out of the boat, and the mast just passed through the cabin. Tao Zhangcheng had no choice but to pull the mast tightly with one hand and let Sun Xiaoyun hug him tightly.

When I arrived at the open sea of Binglang Island, the small islands were faintly visible, but the wind and waves were high, and Zhao Laosan commanded the boat to pass through the small islands, driving in the turbid waters, and there were reefs everywhere. A boatman stood under the jib truss and watched, and every time a wave hit, he quickly dodged so as not to be drenched in the soup.

Sun Xiaoyun, who was in the cabin, heard a muffled scraping sound. Ask Tao Zhangcheng what is going on.

Tao Zhangcheng said: "Don't worry, it's just a boat scraping on the reef." ”

Sun Xiaoyun thought of his parents and younger brother in his hometown at this time, and he felt very uncomfortable, and whispered, "Brother Tao." The ship won't run aground and sink, and we're not going to die at the bottom of the sea, right? ”

Tao Zhangcheng's face did not change, and he pointed to the lifeboat between the bulwark and the cabin and said, "If this ship is going to sink, I will ask Zhao Laosan and them to take you away in a small boat." I'm not going to let anything happen to you. ”

Sun Xiaoyun said: "What about you? There are three or four people in this boat. ”

Tao Zhangcheng said: "You go first, my hometown is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I can swim." ”

Together, we will endure adversity. Sun Xiaoyun admired Tao Zhangcheng's personality even more, and his heart became more entangled, and he regretted accepting the task of assassinating Tao assigned by Chen Meiqi.

After a while, the boat scraped another reef, and Zhao Laosan took off his soaked shirt and waved his dark arms bare-chested. Command the shipwright at the helm to turn the bow outwards and avoid the reef. Further on, there are two atoll strips on the periphery of Penang Harbour, and their boat is heading towards the entrance of an atoll, intending to enter and fight its way forward. Go around the island in search of a safe place to anchor.

Zhao Laosan, who was at the helm with rich experience, quickly found the entrance to the outer reef zone, commanded the ship to sail in, and when it reached the inner reef only ten meters away, the ship almost turned in place, the wind blew very strongly, they raised all the sails, and the canvas crackled in the wind. After four or five repeated attempts, their boat finally approached the end of Penang Island, the spinnaker was torn, the mainmast broke, and the tide rushed against the wind and flooded the deck. The boatmen used their last strength to make the ship sail to the anchorage.

At this time, the dark clouds over Binglang Island also quickly dispersed and turned into a drizzle. Tao Zhangcheng and Sun Xiaoyun and other five members of the Restoration Society went ashore, only to see that the coconut trees on the shore were also blown to the ground, and the island was in a mess.

On the shore, Sun Xiaoyun was soaking wet and had a high fever, Tao Zhangcheng arranged her in an inn in Binglang Town, found a doctor, took care of her for three days, and personally served soup and poured water, Sun Xiaoyun was very guilty, and wanted to get up and contact Li Xiehe's informant.

Tao Zhangcheng said: "Don't worry, wait for your fever to subside, and then contact Li Xiehe." ”

At dusk that day, Tao Zhangcheng helped Sun Xiaoyun out for a walk. Before I knew it, I walked to the beach, and the wind was very small that day, and the sea was blue, which was very beautiful. The town's houses are built on wooden stakes, and the bushes outside the inn are lined with colorful butterflies, and the island is mainly inhabited by Chinese, Malays, dark-skinned Arabs, and occasionally blonde and blue-eyed British.

Twenty-one-year-old Sun Xiaoyun seemed to have come to a small island outside the world, she looked at Tao Zhangcheng in front of her, and asked, "Brother Tao, can you get married?" ”

Twenty-three-year-old Tao Zhangcheng looked at the vast sea and said: "My husband has not achieved his work, why should he be at home?" In my hometown in Shaoxing, my parents ordered a doll, and they were the daughter of a pharmacy manager. I didn't meet her, so I went to Japan to study. Why do you ask this? ”

Sun Xiaoyun said: "It's nothing, just ask casually." I also don't like my parents' arranged marriage, I heard that the other party is a gentleman, and he ran away from home after spending all day outside with flowers and grass. ”

Tao Zhangcheng said: "I feel that Miss Sun did the right thing and has the courage to leave home and go to Japan, which is not something that ordinary women can do." ”

Sun Xiaoyun wanted to reconcile the contradictions between Tao Zhangcheng and Emperor Zhu Xiangdi and Chen Meiqi, and asked: "You and Brother Zhu just started the revolution together, why did they leave later?" ”

Tao Zhangcheng said: "Emperor Zhu Xiangdi is so boastful, and he keeps saying that he wants to establish an American-style democratic republic, but I think that's all nonsense. ”

Sun Xiaoyun said: "Brother Zhu often tells us that there is such a passage engraved on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty in New York, USA, 'On the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, there is such a passage: "Give me all your tired people, you poor people, and those who are eager to breathe free air in a heap; Send those who are homeless, those who have been through storms. I will lift up the lamp for them by this golden gate. 'Isn't an American-style democratic republic bad?' ”

Tao Zhangcheng said, "That's a good thing to say. The first Chinese immigrants from China to the New World in the United States, those Chinese miners who were blinded in the dark mines, those Chinese laborers who braved the wind and snow to build roads in the middle of the United States, and those compatriots who were called 'piglets' by white people, their eyes were blank, their faces were yellow and black, when was their future and their happiness illuminated by the torch of Lady Liberty? ”

Sun Xiaoyun was silent for a while and said, "What does Brother Tao's ideal country look like? ”

Tao Zhangcheng said: "All the government, is every person in power holding the banner of the sages in their own minds, under the banner of seeking the welfare of the people to the worst evil, my ideal, is to establish a country without government, when the time comes, farmers can farm their own land, without paying rent, businessmen can do business freely, do not need to pay taxes, then the country will no longer need revolution." ”

Sun Xiaoyun actually doesn't read much, and he doesn't know what democracy and constitutionalism are, but he thinks that what Tao Zhangcheng said is quite reasonable, and he feels that the young man in front of him has ideals, pursuits, and good character, and gradually appreciates it in his heart.

On the same day, Sun Xiaoyun contacted Li Xiehe's informant and asked Tao Zhangcheng to meet with him. She prepared a table of wine and food in the inn for Tao Zhangcheng to catch the wind and wash the dust, she hesitated for a long time about whether to poison the wine, carefully compared the character of Tao Zhangcheng and Chen Meiqi, and felt that Chen Meiqi was a hooligan of the Green Gang, or Tao Zhangcheng was more reliable, so she couldn't do it.

Tao Zhangcheng returned to the inn, not noticing that Sun Xiaoyun had something on his mind, he looked happy and reported the good news to Sun Xiaoyun. It turned out that Li Xiehe's activities were mainly in Nanyang, and with his efforts, more than 30 branches and more than 1,000 people were developed in the Nanyang area. Both of them have very bold personalities, like-minded people, and have a good conversation, and Li Xiehe also took the initiative to ask to join the Restoration Society.

When Sun Xiaoyun heard this, he was also happy for Tao Zhangcheng, and the two sat down to celebrate. Sun Xiaoyun poured Tao Zhangcheng full of wine, raised his glass, and said: "This time we came to Malaysia, we encountered a shipwreck, and we will not die in the catastrophe, and we will have future blessings." Come, Brother Tao, I'll toast you! ”

Tao Zhangcheng didn't think about it, picked up the wine glass, and drank it happily with his neck tilted. Tao was defenseless against himself, which made Sun Xiaoyun even more guilty, thinking that if he had poisoned the wine, he would have kicked his legs to the western sky.

Tao Zhangcheng found that Sun Xiaoyun was holding a wine glass, as if he was thinking about something, and asked, "Sister, why don't you drink it?" ”

Sun Xiaoyun's face flushed, and he also picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and then said, "It's nothing." ”

Tao Zhangcheng didn't expect Sun Xiaoyun to be so good at drinking, so he poured her another glass of wine and said, "Sister, you are really bold." ”

The two young people staggered, talked about their respective families, and their past lives, and gradually became drunk. In the end, Sun Xiaoyun helped Tao Zhangcheng back to the room.

Tao Zhangcheng drank too much and poured on the white sheets, Sun Xiaoyun went up to help him take off his shoes, and reached out to help him undress, Tao Zhangcheng looked at Sun Xiaoyun's confused eyes, small and angular red lips, straight open, like a ripe little apple, making people want to take a bite immediately. He pulled Sun Xiaoyun and overwhelmed him, and that night, it was drizzling outside the window, and the air was damp. Sun Xiaoyun did not refuse, the buttons on her robe were unbuttoned, revealing smooth and delicate skin, at this moment, what people, what revolution, assassination mission, it doesn't matter, between heaven and earth, only two smooth young people remained, hugging each other tightly, and letting out an instinctive moan. Recite... Yes... Yes...... Yes......
