Chapter 30 It all starts with borrowing money
"I have here a floor plan of the whole island." Runo circled the green ** domain in the upper right corner with his hand, "The Manza people live on this island, about fifteen nautical miles away from the main island. ”
"Cut, such a short distance, it doesn't even take ten minutes with a yacht."
"Don't underestimate the unpredictable weather at sea, as well as the effects of ocean currents, which can be fatal to ships."
The four of them stared at the map of the island, which showed the locations of various places, as well as the length, width, and height, but the other island showed only a small part. Yang Qingnan remembered that the direction of the pirate ship that day seemed to be over there, and he didn't know if there would be any connection.
"Wait, if you want to get there, you can only take a boat, right? The island is closed, and the harbor is only for transport boats. ”
"If you don't have a boat, build your own." Alain Bu said calmly.
"How can we build ships?"
At this time, Runo, who closed his eyes and was thinking deeply, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Maybe you can use flying." ”
"Fly?" Kazi turned his head and asked Arambu, "Will we fly?" ”
"Of course not, stupid!"
"Huh? You can't fly over with a paraglider? I seem to have seen a man go to that island like this, but it wasn't you. ”
"We've lived here for so long, we never knew there was a second island, and we couldn't see it even if we got on the big windmill."
"For so long, they haven't revealed the slightest bit of information about the island, so as to prevent anyone from breaking in." "But your lord must know, I remember that he has a private speedboat for sightseeing around the island. ”
"Is that so? Even if we asked him to borrow it, he wouldn't pay attention to us. Kazi craned his head and yawned.
"Hey, if you want to sleep, go inside, what time is it?"
"Ten past eight." Runo glanced at the electronic clock on the operation screen, and its precise value could be accurate to the second.
A small plain gray doll leads Kazi and Poromo to the dormitory, and when the door closes, they can't be heard at all. There were only three people left in the antechamber, and they talked again, and suddenly remembered that they hadn't even eaten dinner, and their stomachs were hungry. Until the little puppet came back and brought vegetable cakes and surimi meat.
"These?" Looking at the rough cooking in front of him, Alan Bu couldn't whet his appetite at all.
"Our people are not very particular about food, and there is no need to eat as well as humans."
"It's enough, it's nutritious anyway." Yang Qingnan took a bite of the vegetable cake, showed a miserable smile, and his whole face became distorted, "The taste is quite unique." ”
"Eat, you're welcome, we haven't had guests here for a long time, please forgive me for not being well prepared."
"Uh, I think, I'm full." Arambu scooped a little surimi and put it in his mouth, swallowing it without a few bites. He really wanted to ask if the fish was expired, or if it tasted like this, and it was worse than canned sardines in ketchup.
After a meal, Yang Qingnan felt a little sleepy, so he entered the mezzanine. There are rooms on both sides of the road, the serial number yellow means that there are people, and red means that it is locked, and Yang Qingnan casually entered one of the rooms where there was no one.
The furnishings in the room are no different from ordinary hotels, and it seems to be more luxurious than the hotel, with a wardrobe TV and cotton sofas, and even snake wine in the freezer, but unfortunately there is no balcony because you can't see the sun.
Yang Qingnan guessed where the ventilation port was installed, but he found that there was no air conditioner here, only a temperature regulator, and the temperature in the room could be set freely. In addition to the central art ring, there are also remote control lights and color-changing lights, and the walls and floors can change color depending on the intensity of the light.
Walking around was more tired, and the day seemed to be a long one, and he lay straight down on the snow-white bed, the dark gray quilt as soft as velvet. But at this time, he always couldn't sleep, and when he recalled what happened today, he couldn't help but sigh, he had at least twice boarded the boat and walked away, without being involved in this catastrophe.
After all, he was just a normal person, and his life before riding the bearded captain's ship was a hundred times more normal than that of a normal person. Although he was already in debt when he was in college, can he dare to ask who in the world has not been in debt? Or who can worry about saying that they haven't done anything wrong?
Yes, he not only owes debts, but also runs away from them, thinking that he can pay off all his debts without relying on his parents, but it backfires, and the appearance of that group of debt collectors makes it more and more difficult for him to find a job, and God knows if they put a tracker on him.
As soon as he remembered the calm on campus, he smiled from ear to ear.
Everything has to start with him borrowing the money of a classmate he knows well, seven or eight thousand is not worth much for college life, and the worst thing is that the classmate calculates the interest more clearly than the one who studied accounting.
He didn't care about such a small amount of money at all, and gradually forgot about it, and the classmate didn't remind him. It wasn't until he left the university that his classmates suddenly found him and said that the money he owed was as high as more than 20,000 yuan, which had doubled. At that time, Yang Qingnan was in the internship period, and it would take half a year to pay off, to say the least.
The classmate couldn't wait that long, and he also asked the underworld guys to help collect debts, and threatened to sue him in court if he didn't pay it back. Yang Qingnan was scared when he heard it, if he really wanted to go to court, his parents would definitely know, where would he put his face then?
The rest of the story is self-evident, going abroad just to avoid the limelight, and when everything is calm, I will naturally go back.
The light of the table lamp shines through the hollow lampshade and diverges into different shapes and maps onto the ceiling, making this boring night interesting. Between the bright artificial starlight, as well as the mysterious dream and reality, Yang Qingnan slowly closed his tired eyes.
At six o'clock, the smart color screen in the room simulated the scene of the sun rising, the elegant electric lights automatically turned on, and the temperature rose with it, but the only owner in the room had not yet gotten up.
Yang Qingnan slept on a smooth and cold stone slab, the stone wall was also slippery, and his body was not covered with any clothes and quilts, and the whole person shrunk into a ball. He was finally awakened by the cold air, and when he came to the front room, he saw that all the furniture had turned to stone.
Did you spend the night in a cave last night? His head was dizzy from the cold, and it felt like it was close to freezing.
Sporadic light filtered in through the cracks in the stone wall, allowing people to see the path beneath their feet, but the space in the void in the middle still seemed dark. He carefully moved out the door, and found that the hallway was also terrifyingly dark, and he didn't have time to check the other people's rooms, because there was no one here.
Yang Qingnan walked directly through the aisle to the screening hall, groped along the wall to the entrance, and found that the only exit was completely closed. There was a white air flow at his feet, and he was drilling into him unrelentingly, and Yang Qingnan wrapped the blue jacket tightly, but it didn't have much effect.
As he walked towards the sofa in the opposite direction, his groping hand suddenly touched something unusual, which seemed to be a stone pillar, but the shape of the stone pillar was a little strange. Yang Qingnan stroked back and forth earnestly with his two hands, combining his feel and intuition, and thought that this seemed to be a person.
Suddenly, the stone pillar itself lit up with a cloudy white light, and he could see through the person standing in front of him at a glance, the other party's mouth was stained with rusty blood, and he was looking at him with crooked gray eyes.
