Chapter Eighty-One: Naval Mission

I finally pushed her away, and Zhang Shan almost swelled my lips. Looking into her misty eyes, I knew I owed her too much.

Her big eyes gradually returned to clarity, and I hugged her into my arms again. Zhang Shan! Long time no see! After a while, I pushed her away again and pulled her to sit on the big rock. The big lion behind snorted, walked away slowly, and lay down and rolled on the grass.

I looked at her carefully, and she was still so white, not changing at all, but her hair had grown a lot. She looked at me, reached out and touched my face and said, "Daheng, you are dark." ”

I've been running around for the last year, can it not be dark? I took her little hand, smiled a little, and said, "My son can speak, and he still told his father to say goodbye when I came." My daughter will be able to speak a single word. ”

Zhang Shan suddenly became nervous and said, "Do you have a photo of your son and daughter?" ”

I hesitated for a moment and said, "There are a few photos on my phone, but in my little sister's hand, she took her phone to Gaoding Village to charge it." ”

Zhang Shan leaned over and rested her head on my shoulder. I told her about the bits and pieces of my sons and daughters for more than a year. Speaking of having a high fever with the flu and then hanging a needle in the hospital, she started to cry again. The brilliance of motherhood is vividly reflected in her.

"Now that you're cured, will you come back with me? Brown Sugar Girl says that children need you. Now it's all her, her mother and sister taking care of the children, and your mother wants you to go back. I said, looking into her big eyes.

Zhang Shan used to wear cheongsam, especially showing her figure, and she was a very beautiful Jiangnan girl. Now wearing thick Tibetan clothes, it looks more temperamental, and if it appears in Danba County, it will definitely attract onlookers.

I flicked the beads from her hat, and her face turned cold, then she dropped her hand and turned her head to look into the distance.

"Half of the underworld has been reclaimed, and the other half is in the hands of a native sect. There are a couple of ground people over there attacking that sect right now, and I'm waiting for my moment. Zhang Shan's words surprised me. She wants to reclaim the Underworld? Didn't you say that there are 700,000 square kilometers?

Seeing my surprised expression, Zhang Shan said: "The underground world is my home, and I now have the blood of the Vermilion Bird, so ......, I am no longer me." ”

What's going on? Zhang Shan is not Zhang Shan anymore? She's Suzaku? I was chilling, grabbed her hand, and couldn't stop looking her up and down.

Zhang Shan struggled out of her white little hands, pulled her hair, and her cold face became a little gentle. She looked into the distance and muttered:

"I believe the Guru has already told you that we are all deserved, and we all have our own things to do. When I've reclaimed all of the Underworld, I'll take time to see my children. Now the four poles I have regained the two poles. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the poor strange beast behind her turned over, snorted, and pounced. Zhang Shan's face turned pale, and she said, "Oh no, something happened down there." Then he took a few steps and turned over the poor beast. I stood up and looked at her.

"Daheng! You go back first, I have urgent matters to deal with now, and when I have recovered all of them, I will go back to you!" After saying that, he pulled the hair of the poor beast and ran to the pagoda.

"I'll go with you! I'll help you! I shouted.

"No, you don't! This is a matter of my Suzaku lineage. You have your own things to do, take care of your children! She paused at the door of the stupa and then slipped into the stupa without looking back.

I was left alone in the wind. Actually, I'm very good at fighting, and I can also penetrate walls, okay? Why did you leave me alone? In the past few days, I have been driving alone, confused and bored, and finally came to Tibet, but the next confusion came again.

I stared blankly at the open door of the stupa, and her breath seemed to be still in the wind. The Underworld? Recovering half? Suzaku lineage? Is she going to be a queen? Countless questions lingered in my mind.

I had been standing in the wind for half an hour, and when it became cloudy, I turned around and went down the mountain. Without nostalgia, there is no farewell. She has her world, I have my way of life, and she even refuses my help. My world went gray.

When I went down to Gaoding Village, there was already a light snowfall, and I asked people nearby to find the collector's little sister. She was playing mini-games while charging. When I saw that I was leaving, I said that I would not wait for my sister? I said I did.

My little sister saw that my face was not very good, so she handed over the phone. I turned off the phone and took out the card, telling her that there were a few pictures of children in it, and her sister would show her when she came back. Xiaomei nodded, took the phone, and I took the key and drove back.

The moment I drove out of Jiaju Tibetan Village, the railing was raised, I lowered the window. Looking at the little sister of the collector who slipped next to her, she laughed and laughed in the light snow. This seventeen or eighteen-year-old is really good, bidding farewell to innocence, it is the best age in life. In life, apart from laughter, there are no worries at all.

I didn't have music on, and there was no radio station here, so I drove quietly and watched the snow fluttering. A tune popped up in my head, and it came up aptly.

is the TV series "Water Margin" released in 98, in which Ding Haifeng carries a wine gourd with a spear and walks alone in the heavy snow.

How much like I am now! Later, I learned that the song was Liu Yiduo's humming - "Drunk Red Face". My head is full of that music. Some music can make people happy, and some can make people suicidal, this is the charm of music.

Music knows no borders. Trolls say that science knows no borders, can American science be of use to you? Except for music, everything has borders.

I picked up a CD and tried to stuff it into the CD player, but after a long hesitation, I finally put it down. I don't want other music to ruin my current state of mind.

When I went out to Ya'an, I bought another mobile phone. As soon as the mobile phone card was put in, a few text messages came in, including the fat one, the one from Jiang Ming, and the one from Ling Yunzi. Is something wrong?

Ling Yunzi is the leader, and I called her. She said: "Jiang Ming is on a mission, in the South China Sea, do you want to go?" ”

South China Sea? Which South China Sea? There is a Nanhai area in Foshan, and there is also a Nanhai area in Hainan.

"Which South China Sea? What about the fat man? I said

"The fat man didn't go. This South China Sea is the South China Sea of China. She said.

"The South China Sea of China? What can happen? People can't take it, they can't steal it. ”

"On the other side of Huangyan Island, something happened, and now the country is not good to send the navy or coast guard over, and it is more sensitive over there. So I need you to go over and see, God has done things without knowing it. Ling Yunzi said.

The Huangyan Island incident was later known to everyone. In fact, when China did not have a deep blue navy, many islands in the South China Sea were occupied by the surrounding small island countries. Fishermen were beaten, forcibly detained, sentenced to prison, and fishing boats were blown up.

The fishermen of Hainan Island have no status in the South China Sea. The status of fishermen is given by the strength of the country, so the small countries around the South China Sea will bully the Chinese fishermen. Many Southeast Asian countries, including the volatile Philippines, the United States' follower Monkey, Malay, Wenlai, etc.

These countries are very hostile to the Chinese fishermen, boarding and detaining people at every turn, beating people, and shooting fishing boats with machine guns.

When things developed in April 2012, I believe everyone saw a video on CCTV. In Tanmen Town, Qionghai City, Hainan Province, a captain cried that he had been beaten by the Philippines and that the crew had been detained and sentenced. Then the famous "Huangyan Island Incident" occurred.

"Jiang Ming already set off yesterday, and I can't contact you, so he went alone."

"Why doesn't the fat man go?"

"The fat man's size is too eye-catching, so I didn't let him go."

Is it also wrong to be fat? But the fat man's formation and fireballs, the land will be a little more suitable, the sea! Water can overcome fire. If his four-elephant formation wants to be arranged, there is no place to insert it, the bottom of the sea is too deep.

"I'm going too, but I'm in Sichuan now, and I can't come back."

"It's okay, there's no urgency, after you come back, go directly to Tanmen Town in Hainan, where there is our liaison."

She hung up the phone. In fact, at this time, I have something to do, and I can't indulge in sadness. So I drove directly to Hainan, and three days later, I appeared in Xuwen County on the Leizhou Peninsula, with Hai'an Port in front of me.

Before I got on the boat, I filled the car with gas. I heard the old driver say that if the Hainan Expressway does not charge, it will be recovered in the fuel money. So the oil in Hainan is two yuan more expensive than in western Guangdong, although I don't care about these two yuan, but seeing that many drivers are going to refuel, I also followed.

There is also a 38-kilometer Qiongzhou Strait between Xuwen and Haikou, so you need to take a ferry to cross the sea. The ferry was big and majestic to look at, it was the first time I had seen such a big boat.

The car is on the boat, 400 yuan at a time, not counting the members of the car. There are large and small boats, the small ones are cheaper than dozens of yuan, and the boat I took was 185 meters long. It's all the same as a small aircraft carrier. The ground floor is a garage, drive up directly, and there is a tally officer in front of you.

After parking the car, I looked left and right, and when I saw a lot of people, I went up the stairs, and I followed. There are two levels of cabins on top of it, and there are corridors on both sides, and I took a look at the corridors on both sides, and a lot of people were taking pictures. It was also the first time for me to ride a big boat.

There are a lot of sofas in the cabin, and it's early spring, and those tin sofas are freezing my buttocks, so I don't sit on them. There are also shops, boiling water rooms, and you can watch TV, this experience is really good. Out of professional habit, I paid attention to the place where the lifebuoy was placed.

In a conspicuous place there is a cabinet with the words lifebuoy, gas mask and the like written on the door. Although it is not a landlubber, this is the sea, and the undercurrent of the strait is surging, and it is impossible to do without ambulance facilities.

The ship was moving very slowly and steadily, and if it weren't for the whistle out of port, it didn't feel like the ship was already moving.

I smoked in the hallway, watching a lot of handsome guys and beauties taking pictures on the fence, all of them young and beautiful. A few seagulls were feeding at the stern of the boat, and soon there was no land in sight.

In the afternoon, I arrived in Haikou, drove the car ashore, spent two hours to Qionghai City, and then asked for directions before walking to Tanmen Town. Tanmen Town is very dilapidated and very original, and many shops sell handicrafts. What kind of clams, tortoiseshell, coral, these look very novel.

I called the liaison and he said he was nearby and told me to wait. After a while, a thin and short middle-aged man knocked on my car window, and he introduced himself as Wu Shiguang, a local.

Then I asked him to get in the car. In the car, he said: "I have made an appointment with the fleet to board the ship at eight o'clock tonight ten kilometers offshore." Once you're on board, the information about the mission is in the hands of the fleet, and someone will take you there. ”

It's five o'clock in the afternoon, and I said, "Brother Wu, I'll invite you to dinner." ”

He waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything uninvited, don't be too polite." Then he showed the way and found a restaurant to eat.

It is the first time to take on a mission at sea, and it is also very novel, Brother Wu has the principle of confidentiality, and he does not mention a word about the task. Then I asked him for advice while eating. Brother Wu is missing a few front teeth, but eating seafood has no effect.

"What do you want to hear?" He asked as he skinned the lobster.

"It's the first time I've taken on a mission at sea, so I don't understand anything, and I hope Brother Wu will show me a clear way." I said.

"Ha, ha, ha." Wu Shiguang looked at me and smiled heartily. "In fighting at sea, life comes first, mission comes second," he said. Life is guaranteed in order to complete the task. ”

"Can you be more specific?" I whispered.

"At sea and on land, you can't win a battle and you can run, and you can't go anywhere without a ship at sea. So it is necessary to ensure that there is a boat. Wu Shiguang put the lobster in soy sauce, dipped it in soy sauce, put it in his mouth, and chewed it beautifully.

I quickly poured him tea, and he took a sip of tea with satisfaction and continued:

"In the past few years, there have been a number of people who have come on missions, but I haven't seen a single one come back. I don't know if they came ashore from somewhere else, but none of the people who were sent out of me came back. ”

When I heard this, a cold sweat immediately came down. It seems that fighting at sea is very different from fighting on land! I still have a big family, and I have to get out and come back as much as I want. So I should have asked him for advice.

Seeing that I was very well-behaved in pouring tea and handing water, Wu Shiguang continued:

"Last week, there was a kid who also came on a mission, and he was more oily than you, so I could feel that he would definitely be back."

I described Jiang Ming's appearance, Wu Shiguang patted his thigh and said, "It's that kid, it turns out that you know each other?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, he's my friend, and we're on a mission together. He went first, and I was a little delayed, so I'm here now. I hastened to say.

"He wears a Taoist robe and a Taoist bun, and as soon as he appears, it makes my eyes shine. I haven't really seen anyone wearing a Taoist robe in Hainan, with a bun on his head, I look at it as a novelty, and I touched his bun. Wu Shiguang put another lobster in his mouth and said as he chewed.

"He is a Taoist priest, the future head of the Pavilion Soap Sect. So he can't die. ”

"How can he die? You don't know how oily he is, so when he didn't say anything, he asked me to take him to purchase, and as a result, he bought tens of thousands of yuan of things, and he had to give me half of it. Also invited me to dinner. ”

"He's so generous?"

"Who's to say it isn't? That's half worth 10,000 at least. Then the rest let me express back to his home, gave me a thousand yuan for the courier fee, and patted me on the shoulder and said that he recognized me as a brother. ”

"Brother Wu, this is good! He is a future head, and you will have a brother who will be the head of the house in the future. ”

"Hahaha, you kid is also very good at talking."

I continued to pour tea for Wu Shiguang and listened to him.

"Later! I think he is really a good person, and he has to come back from here when he goes out of our Tanmen Town. So I made a copy of the "Book of Changing Roads" for him, took him to worship Mazu, and then sent him on the boat. ”

"More road books? What is it? ”

"This South China Sea! For us Tanmen people, it is the ancestral sea, and we have been engaged in production in this sea for generations. Therefore, there has been a "Book of Changing Roads" since the ancestors. This is the route map of the South China Sea, where there are islands, reefs, undercurrents, where there are springs and coconut trees, and where you can avoid typhoons. It's all documented. ”

"Wow! This is a strange book, huh? It can be said that it is the whole book of the South China Sea. ”

"Of course, from the first day I became a captain, I inherited this book, and the captains of the locals in our town will inherit a copy of the Book of Changing Routes from their ancestors. This is a life-saving book. ”

"It turns out that Brother Wu is still the captain?"

"Alas! That was all in the past. Since the Philippines bombed my ship a few years ago, there has been no more boat. Now I can only work for the state, receive a salary, and be able to provide for the elderly in the future. After Wu Shiguang finished speaking, his eyes dimmed.

This triggered his sadness, and I don't even know how to get it done.

We ate in silence. After eating, he took me to the copy shop in town, took out a thin old book from his bosom, and made a copy of it for me. I reverently took the book with both hands, and I felt very heavy.

Brother Wu asked me to take care of the car, I gave him the car keys for safekeeping, and then followed him to the causeway. Tanmen Town is a fishing port, and there are many fishing boats in the harbor, and these fishing boats have many high-power light bulbs.

A large shelf was built on the fishing boats, and then it was covered with light bulbs, which were said to be used for night fishing. At night, as soon as the lights are turned on, the fish will come running. Animals are phototaxis and run wherever they see it.

The fish had never read or spoken, so it instinctively went to a place where there was light, and was fished up by humans. The nets of fishing boats weigh thousands of pounds and are hundreds of meters long, and two boats can drag them away, and they can net a lot of fish.

"Young man, I see that you are very honest, let me tell you! Eighty percent of our Tanmen families have people going to sea, and fifty percent of our families are incomplete. They all died in the sea, which is particularly dangerous. Others died under the onslaught of foreign warships, and some died under machine-gun fire. ......。 ”

I listened to him silently, powerless to comfort him.

At half past seven, he took me on a medium-sized motorboat. I drove from the port to the deep sea, stopped there when I got to the place, and then took out a flashlight and drew a circle.

I kept drawing circles for more than ten minutes before a black behemoth floated in front of me.

This is a submarine?
