The next day, we went early to re-purchase and get ready for the new journey. Having learned the lesson of the last time we didn't have enough guns and ammunition, this time we purchased more than double the amount we did last time. Unfortunately, Adams' uncle Dickens has not yet returned from his voyage, so we can only wait.

On the third day, Dickens returned. After an introduction by Adams, we finally met this experienced veteran sailor.

Dickens wasn't what I imagined a military captain to look like; It's not a sloppy and vicious old man; It's a bearded, very capable uncle. His complexion has the characteristics common to seafarers: black and red. It can be seen from his laughing and laughing words that he is a hearty and approachable man.

Adams told him about me, and wanted him to be a guide. He didn't say a word, but he agreed, which made me and the old ghost very happy. Dickens was only slightly worried about Lisa's counterpart. Because, in addition to the huge passenger ship, there will be a lot of trouble with women on board.

In China, the rule of "going out of the river and sea without a woman" has been around for a long time. One is out of consideration for the woman's body; The second reason is that the Chinese are influenced by superstitious ideas and pay attention to river gods and sea gods. These river gods and sea gods are taboo and can't talk nonsense. A woman's mouth is not very tight, and she is prone to talking nonsense, which can easily cause unnecessary trouble.

I remember hearing my father tell me when I was a kid that a friend of his was also involved in shipping. Once, a friend of his added a big fat boy to his family. The boat family (this friend of my father) was very happy, and in order to make some money to buy milk powder, he took an order to load goods out of the river. Before leaving, he told his daughter-in-law that when the boat was on the river, he must not talk nonsense. Otherwise, you will be punished.

As a result, something happened on the river. The boat was in the middle of the river, suddenly stopped moving forward and shook violently. After a while, a huge whirlpool appeared next to the ship. Moreover, there are huge water monsters all around. When the boatman knew something bad, he immediately asked his mother-in-law if he was talking nonsense? His daughter-in-law insisted that she didn't. However, the ship shook more and more violently, and it looked like it was about to sink. In the end, the woman finally couldn't resist the fear and spoke up.

It turned out that their child had just turned a full moon. I don't know what the reason is, I can't stop crying, no matter how much this mother-in-law coaxes, it won't help, and I don't eat milk. In a hurry, the mother-in-law said: "If you cry again, I will throw you into the river to feed the fish!" ”

As soon as he said this, the above situation appeared.

When the boatman heard this, he was so angry that his face turned green. Scolded: "You damn bitch! ”

After scolding, I have to go to hug the child. Where is the ship's daughter-in-law willing to let in? grabbed the child with the boatman, and he didn't let go. The boatman said, "If you don't give it to me, everyone on board will die!" ”

The boatman snatched the child and threw it into the river. The daughter-in-law of the boat family was frightened and distressed, and fainted all of a sudden. Surprisingly, the river immediately became calm, and the monsters disappeared.

When the ship's daughter-in-law woke up, she saw that there was no child. When the boatman was not paying attention, he also jumped into the river and committed suicide. Where can the ship's family withstand the blow of losing two close relatives in a row? When he got ashore, he never ran again. In the end, it didn't take long for him to go insane.

I have listened to this story and the rules of the ship at least twenty times since I was a child, and there are more than a dozen versions. Because I was terrified every time I heard it, I remember it very deeply.

I reckon Dickens was also affected by these to some extent, so I reassured him. Wu Lisha is a goblin girl who usually doesn't like to talk nonsense. Moreover, he is very neat in doing things. Dickens didn't say anything more and agreed. Anyway, many boats still carry women now. Otherwise, those who engage in cruise ship passenger transport companies will have to close their doors.

We didn't delay the day after Dickens returned. Under Edward's guidance, we set off for the Caribbean. He was accompanied by me, the old ghost, Lisa Wu, Edward, Dickens, and his two men, a total of seven men.

Interestingly, Dickens had two of his men, one named Tom and the other Jerry. The name reminds me of Disney cartoons. How can it be such a coincidence? Dickens was surprised and said, "Do you also see? I didn't expect this cartoon to be so popular?

Dickens told me: Actually, it was because of their special names that he deliberately chose them to be his subordinates and take them as disciples.

What's even more interesting is that these two young people are humorous and energetic. I was in good spirits all day long, as if I was enjoying sailing. When I saw them, I couldn't help but think: perhaps, they were both born sailors.

The real reason we want to keep Edward is because he has a nautical chart to Ghost Island in the Caribbean. According to him, there is only one copy of this picture, and only he has it. Without this nautical chart, no one would have ever found Ghost Island.

After a day of sailing, we finally entered the Caribbean. The water here is clear and white, the sea water is blue and pure, the scenery is very beautiful, and it is simply beautiful that people feel suffocated! Moreover, it is a resort mecca.

I thought to myself, if I wasn't in a hurry to save people, I should really have a good time traveling around this place. Enjoy local seafood and delicacies, and visit scenic spots. Perhaps, when Duoduo is rescued, this idea will be realized.

After another night of sailing, the next morning, we finally arrived at the location marked on the chart. But there's a lot of it here! There is only an endless blue ocean.

I dragged Edward over and asked, "Is this picture of yours real?" Reliable or unreliable? ”

"Of course it's true!" Edward said.

"If you dare to play any tricks, Lao Tzu will chop you up and feed the fish!" I said, "Now that you're here, why can't you see the ghost island on your map?" ”

Adams hurriedly explained, "Ghost Island. As the name suggests, because of its extremely eerie particularity: unpredictable, sometimes appearing, sometimes disappearing. The previous time it appeared here, the next time it may be in a different position. But it's not too far off, it's around here.

The old ghost saw that Edward was talking a little too much, so he put a gun at him and shouted, "What a point! ”

"Good, good, that is: this ghost island will only appear at certain moments. It appears for a very short time, and after that time, it disappears again. No matter how you look for it, you won't find it. ”

"I don't believe it! Isn't it possible to explore the seabed? The old ghost asked.

"I've tried it a long time ago. The result of the detection is: there is nothing in this sea area at all! However, passing ships have been repeatedly robbed and killed by pirates who suddenly appeared. Edward said firmly, "You guys, if you want to enter Ghost Island, you need to be patient. You can't go wrong! ”

Edward wanted to say something more to us. At this time, there was a sudden "boom" from the bottom of the ship. The hull of the ship immediately shook violently, and it tilted to the side, as if it had been hit by some behemoth!

The hull shook suddenly, and we couldn't stand on our feet and almost fell.

At this time, Dickens outside was heard shouting, "Oh, mygod! bad! ”
