As the sailors searched deeply, there were some new discoveries one after another, such as the discovery of several barrels of wine and rum in the bilge, the aroma of wine was fragrant, so that everyone was happy, such a long wine, it was worth a lot, especially for Chen Si, a gluttony who likes to drink the best wine, it was a great joy. Hot Books

However, Gu Fengchun was not very interested in these, because there was no news about the logbook he wanted most. Maybe it's because it's too old and rotten, or maybe it's because the crew took the logbook with them when the ship had an accident.

But it was not without gain, after a while, Zeng Yuanhang found a book made of sheepskin from a cabin that looked like the owner of the ship, which was full of words in scribbled handwriting, he couldn't understand the meaning, but he also knew that this should be the most urgent information for Gu Fengchun, so he immediately took it.

Gu Fengchun's brows furrowed at the sight of the ancient Latin scrawled on the thick parchment, he had never studied this kind of writing, and in his opinion these Latin characters were more profound than the inscriptions and Western Zhou ciphers he had seen.

But this is not difficult for Gu Fengchun. He knew that Luo Xiaodan had studied abroad, and she might know a little bit about this kind of Latin, so he carefully walked out of the cabin with a parchment roll. Luo Xiaodan suspected that there was a foul smell in the cabin, so he had been waiting for them on the deck. Seeing Gu Fengchun walking out, she hurriedly greeted him and said, "What, did you find anything?" She was surprised to see the scroll in Gu Fengchun's hand, this parchment scroll was not new to her, in the Middle Ages, some ancient books in the West were like this. When she was studying in Europe and the United States, there were many such rare editions in the school's large library.

"It's probably a nautical diary, see if you can read the words." Gu Fengchun shrugged his shoulders and said, "But be careful, this nautical diary has been damaged a lot, and if you are not careful, it may turn into powder." ”

Luo Xiaodan nodded, her attainments in antiques were not low, and she knew how to protect this kind of antiquities, so she immediately put on her gloves, took them carefully, and looked at them slowly. After opening the title page, she frowned slightly, and said: "This is the purest ancient Latin, and it is strange that only the papal seekers would use this ancient script, and it appears on such a ship." ”

"Look at what's written on it." Gu Fengchun nodded and said. It can be seen that Luo Xiaodan is no stranger to this kind of writing.

Luo Xiaodan nodded, looked at the words on the title page, and said without thinking: "This is a diary, a diary by a person named David. The diary of a Dutch priest of Jones. As soon as she had said this, she opened the diary again, and continued: "The earliest date in this diary is April 8, 1651, and the last page is November 13, 1651. The opening page says that David. Jones will follow the fleet to the mysterious East, to preach the gospel of the Lord on one of the islands closest to ancient China. This island, I guess it's Taiwan. Luo Xiaodan said.

Gu Fengchun nodded, the fall of the Ming Dynasty was in 1644, and Taiwan was in the hands of the Dutch colonists at that time, and was later driven out by Zheng Chenggong. The timing makes sense. But Gu Fengchun had no intention of knowing about this Father David's personal **, he just wanted to know what happened to this ship. So he said: "Take a quick look, I want to know the news about the disappearance of the ship's personnel, and see if I can find it." ”

Luo Xiaodan also nodded and quickly flipped to the back. After a while, she stopped, then flipped a few more pages forward, and with a happy smile on her face, she read, "November 1st." Today we encountered a thick fog at sea, the ship we were on fell away from the fleet, the compass was useless, the captain was very worried, but I am not worried, God is always with us, Amen! Gu Fengchun nodded, only to see Luo Xiaodan quickly turn the page again, and then said: "On November 2nd, after a night of drifting, the dense fog on the sea has dissipated, but we appeared in a strange sea, the crew decided to sail downwind, with their experience, so that they can usually meet the mainland, but they are full of sadness, because if the water source is not replenished, we will run out of clean water on the ship in three days, the captain has issued an order, the drinking water in the ship must be strictly limited, in case of emergency, Fortunately, before dark in the afternoon, we saw the horizon, it was not the mainland, it was a small island, but there was a small island, didn't it just mean that it was very close to the mainland? Thanks to God Almighty for showing us the way, the captain decided to send sailors down early tomorrow morning in search of water and food, for the island did not look inhabited, and that the captain had appointed himself governor of the island, and that the Dutch flag would be planted on the highest part of the island early tomorrow morning. ”

When he heard this, Gu Fengchun could already vaguely guess what was going on behind in his heart. However, he still didn't speak, and motioned for Luo Xiaodan to continue reading. Luo Xiaodan then turned to another page, and then read: "On November 3rd, I faintly felt a little uneasy. This island feels so weird to me. I remember that before I went to sleep last night, our boat was anchored on the sandy side facing the island, but when I woke up, I found that we were facing the cliffs of the island. The sailors laughed at me for drinking too much rum last night, but God, I'm a faithful believer in you, how could I do such a thing? The captain has led five sailors down to the island, and has not returned for a whole day, and the first mate is worried and ready to send sailors down to find them, and God must protect your people and keep them safe, Amen! When Luo Xiaodan read this, he always felt a faint chill in his back. But Gu Fengchun listened more and more, and his face was solemn.

“…… On November 13th, several days had passed, and the first mate and several other sailors were gone, and now it was just me and the crew old Peter. God, can you tell me what's going on? There is a mournful call sound on the island every night, the good thing is the voice of the captain and the first mate, I have decided, I will get off the boat with old Peter tomorrow to find the captain and them......" When he said this, Luo Xiaodan suddenly stopped translating, and Gu Feng said strangely: "Why don't you say it?" Is that all gone? ”

Luo Xiaodan shook his head and said, "No, the text in the back is very scribbled, I have to identify it carefully to determine what kind of text they are." Gu Fengchun nodded, indicating understanding. He believed that something strange must have happened to Davy that affected his mood and made him even more flustered when he began to write. "Oh, God! Poor old Peter, who could not stand the torment of this strange noise, committed suicide, and now I am the only one left in this ship! Almighty God, please save your poor believer. ”

Luo Xiaodan read it to the end, and he actually got goosebumps all over his body. When David Jones wrote these words, he wrote his truest feelings, and Luo Xiaodan could naturally feel his fear. And this fear is infecting her. Gu Fengchun saw Luo Xiaodan's panicked look, walked up, held her cold little hand tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Luo Xiaodan nodded again and again, "um", and leaned tightly on Gu Fengchun's body. The two of them have been busy with their own affairs for more than a year, and they have not communicated well in private, and the feelings generated in the forbidden land seem to have gradually extinguished, and at this time, Gu Fengchun showed the same appearance as those situations of nine deaths and lives encountered in the forbidden land, which made Luo Xiaodan regain his long-lost feeling. If it weren't for the large number of people around, she would have cried on Gu Fengchun's body a long time ago.

Gu Fengchun gently patted Luo Xiaodan's shoulder, but he was thinking about what was recorded in David Jones's diary. He knew very well that the disappearance of the personnel on the three-masted ship must have something to do with this mysterious island. So I couldn't help but be vigilant in my heart.

After a while, Luo Xiaodan left from Gu Fengchun's chest, and she said to Gu Fengchun: "This diary mentions that the crew is missing on the island, and there are strange noises, it seems that there is a problem on this small island, we have to be careful." Luo Xiaodan knew that Gu Fengchun had become as adventurous as Chen Si, so he euphemistically put forward his hope: that is, he hoped that Gu Fengchun would not go down to this island.

Gu Fengchun nodded and said, "Don't worry, we'll pay attention." Later, we will only send a small boat to approach the island, and if it is not necessary, we will not land on the island. Luo Xiaodan listened to Gu Fengchun's words, and immediately said: "This is the best." Chen Si also turned out of the cabin at this time, and saw that Gu Fengchun and Luo Xiaodan's faces were not very good-looking, and hurriedly asked what happened. Wait for the ancient style to put David. After the information in Jones's diary was relayed to him, Chen Si also nodded and said: "We did find a corpse in the bottom compartment of the ship, which seems to be the old Peter that the priest said, and this priest seems to have left the ship in the end, went to the island, and finally, finally ......" He didn't say anything about the last thing he didn't say, but everyone understood what he meant. He pondered for a moment, hesitated in his heart, and after a while said, "This island is too evil, for the sake of safety, then we will not land on the island." He turned his head to Zeng Yuanhang next to him and said: "Ship the following barrels of wine to our ship, good things, don't waste them, this is not something that ordinary sailors can drink, it should be a good wine that the fleet transported to Taiwan for the governor at that time." As he said this, he swallowed loudly.

And at this moment, a scream of "ah......" suddenly sounded from the bilge.
