After a short rest, the old man was not so nervous, and at the same time he also thought of a safer way, that is, to sink the boat into the sea with people, only in this way is the best strategy.

The most thing on the boat is the rope, the old man used the rope to fix all the people on the boat, and erased or covered the particularly obvious signs on the boat, what he wanted was to make the boat look like an ownerless fishing boat, to make the boat look like a tragic shipwreck, and as for the people on board, it had nothing to do with him.

The first thing is to choose a place, preferably a place where no one has set foot, the old man looked at the sun in the sky, and quickly argued the right direction, because for him, the sun is a natural compass, and this sky does not know how much it has taught him.

He knew that this place was not far from Fishtail Reef, which was famous for its undercurrents and reefs, and if a passing ship first arrived, almost all of them capsized there, some of the reefs were exposed on the surface of the sea, like crocodiles sticking out of their heads, and some of the reefs were hidden underwater, like torpedoes waiting to be hunted.

Not only that, in this piece of underwater reef, there are also a series of undercurrents like the Grim Reaper, because there are too many reefs on the water surface, which disperses most of the power in the undercurrent, and the cover of the water surface, so these undercurrents are not visible from the surface of the water alone, but if you dive a little, you will feel that next to these underwater reefs, there are one chaotic current after another around you, and they give you the feeling that there is infinite suction, as if to suck you in.

None of the people living on the shores of the East China Sea know how much power there is in the undercurrent and what it is, and in the same way, no one knows where the reef starts and where it ends, because no one who enters it will survive.

Here, it is known as the "Forbidden Land of the East China Sea".

The old man took the inner tubes and planks that could float on the boat, made a simple raft, adjusted the fishing boat to the general direction of Fishtail Reef, and rowed the raft without hesitation, believing that the boat would disappear from the world.

A day later, the old man returned home, and although he was careful not to come into contact with too much seawater, his lips were chapped and his body was wrinkled.

But these are small things for the old man, and what he really cares about is whether the news of those people's deaths is spread.

After coming back, the old man has been observing the movements around him, except for some neighbors who asked the old man's fishing boat, there is no bad news, so he waited peacefully for a few days, the old man's son couldn't sit still, he said to the old man, there should be money on the boat, he wanted to go to the vicinity of the fishtail reef to find the fishing boat.

This sentence was slapped back into the stomach by the old man, but this did not break his son's thoughts, his son came to entangle every once in a while, at first, the old man's reaction was great, but slowly, the old man's attitude changed, he reacted violently from the beginning, and finally became numb.

Under his son's long-term entanglement, he changed from numbness to habit, and got used to his son's entanglement with him every day.

But the son did not give up, and after more than a month, the old man was moved, perhaps the old man was moved by compassion for his son's perseverance, or maybe his son's words finally moved him, in short, the old man agreed with his son's idea.

But there is one condition: whether you find it or not, you must come back within five days.

On the same day, his son departed.

Five days later, in the middle of the night, his son returned, in the fishing boat that was supposed to have disappeared, and it was empty, and there was no one, and the old man even saw the rope he had used to tie the dead.

The old man's son said that when he saw the ship, it was parked beside the reef beach, and in the reef beach there were several black boxes and sacks, which, according to his judgment, should have been loaded on the ship.

The only thing that the old man couldn't understand was that these people, whether they were dead or alive, the son was stunned and didn't see any of them.

Regardless of whether what his son said was true or not, the old man's heart had already turned upside down, and at this time, his heart was completely filled with fear, he thought that this was an ominous ship, which would bring disaster to the family, and he had to send it back no matter what.

Sent by whom? Son, of course, because the only way to crack the calamity is whoever invited the ship and sent it back.

If you return safely, it means that the ship has forgiven you, and the ship will disappear in the future, and you will never be troubled again.

The local fishermen believe in this statement, because in their eyes, fishing boats are not only the belongings of all of them, but also their lives, and they are spiritual, so there are many fishing boats that have not been in disrepair for many years and are parked on the respective turf of the owners, and they hope to obtain the blessing of the boat spirit in this way.

At dawn the next day, the old man and his son went to return the boat, and after paying homage to the boat spirit in Higashi-Fukushima, the son drove the boat away alone, and in the afternoon, the son returned, and to the old man's chagrin and puzzlement, the son still drove the fishing boat back.

After he came back, he explained to the old man and asked the old man to wait for him in Higashifukushima for a few days, and if he couldn't wait for him, don't leave.

The old man asked him what he was doing, but his son said nothing, and drove away with a solemn face.

Unexpectedly, I waited for more than ten years.

In the past ten years, the old man has been waiting for this isolated island alone, and his relatives have left him one by one during this period, but he has been waiting for his son.

Maybe it's been too long since anyone has talked to the old man, or maybe it's been lonely and lonely for too long, so as soon as the old man's conversation box was opened, he talked for a long time, and I couldn't help but be in awe of him when I looked at the old man's face that had gone through vicissitudes in the dilapidated hotel.

The weather on the island changed as soon as he finished eating the meal prepared by the old man, and a gust of wind came, and the sky turned black, and at seven or eight o'clock in the morning the sky was dyed with a rich inky black, and at this time the raindrops in the sky were much heavier, and the leaves and branches that had been dancing were now completely out of order, and swayed indiscriminately.

In just a few minutes, the eaves of the hotel had been hung with rain lines, and the grooves in the roof tiles seemed to be unable to satisfy the rain, and flowed down the walls.

In an instant, the light rain turned into a pouring rain.
