The total number of members of the tour group on this boat is 47 people, including the staff of the tour group. They were all thrown off the ship and onto different pirate ships. Then he was covered with black veil, bound hand and foot, and imprisoned in the bilge. You can hear the rumbling of the motor machinery and the sound of the waves crashing on the outside of the cabin from time to time. The pirate ship is not as smooth as a cruise ship, up and down, the people in the cabin are staggering, and many people can't stand the toss and vomit.

While the boat was moving, it suddenly lost its balance and jerked, and everyone was lying on the ground and rolling around. At this moment, Yang Muyun rolled onto a person's body. Under the blindfold, Yang Muyun couldn't see who the other party was, but he could feel that this person was very thin and a man.

The man was chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

"Buddhist scriptures?" Hearing this, I questioned.

"Yes." Yang Muyun nodded: "He used very broken Chinese, and I remembered a few of the sentences." Later, I found out that he should be reciting the "Diamond Sutra". ”

Maybe it was a psychological effect, after the man recited the Diamond Sutra, Yang Muyun, who was listening to it next to him, felt an indescribable peace. He subconsciously had an intuition that this man who was reciting scriptures was the one who was extremely calm just now.

Because, during the whole process of chanting the scriptures, the man's voice did not tremble at all, and was full of tranquility and peace. The most strange thing is that Yang Muyun actually heard a deep sadness, and even a trace of despair.

The situation was complex and crisis, and he could not think slowly. Yang Muyun made up his mind at that time, no matter what happened next, he must be with this man.

After a long time, they were put on the bow of the ship, and in the damp breeze, the pirates untied their black veils. In front of you is an isolated island with green hills, surrounded by the vast sea. Yang Muyun looked up at the sky, the sky was like an oil painting, the lead gray thick and heavy clouds, and a few seabirds soared in the sky. The sky and the colors of this moment are firmly imprinted in his mind and he will never forget them.

The island was a base for pirates, who were escorted to a cell near the cliff. The place said it was a cell, but it was actually a big cave. According to the topography, the fence was made of thick wood, and small cells were isolated one after another. The floor was covered with hay, and there was a small window overhead for ventilation.

In the cell where Yang Muyun was held, there were a total of four people, including the calm man.

The pirates included capable men who knew all the languages of each country, and they went from cell to cell to interrogatory, recording the contact numbers of their relatives and friends, and preparing to extort ransom.

In Yang Muyun's cell, there was a companion from China, who was dissatisfied with the pirates and made wild remarks, saying that the country would send troops to exterminate you, and you would not be rampant for long. When the pirates heard this, they set an example for him, pushed him out of the cave, came to the cliff, shot him in the head, killed him on the spot, and then kicked him into the sea.

Everyone heard the gunshot and fell silent. Yang Muyun faintly felt a sense of foreboding, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to get out of this cave again.

When the pirates finished making a fuss and left, there was a wailing in the cave, and many people were weeping bitterly, terrified to the extreme.

Yang Muyun calmed down instead. At this time, his interest and curiosity in the calm man far outweighed the fear of death.

He crawled up to the man and spoke up.

The man glanced at him, leaned against the cave wall, slowly closed his eyes, and did not speak or pay attention to him.

During the days of detention, at first there was fear, and in the following days, hungry and thirsty, the hostages tortured and numbed to the status quo. In addition to the calm man and Yang Muyun in this hole, there is also a Korean young man who can only speak a few sentences of broken English and can't communicate at all.

Yang Muyun had been observing the calm man and found that he had been sleeping almost all the time during the day, either reciting Buddhist scriptures and meditating. A few days later, Yang Muyun's interest in him gradually waned, until that happened.

In the relationship of detention, people's nerves have always been tense, and they can only relax slightly when they sleep at night. Late that night, Yang Muyun was sleeping soundly, and suddenly a spirit woke up, and in the haze, he heard a very strange sound.

It was a moan, very painful, but not loud, and it sounded like someone was trying to suppress the pain, locked it in his throat and kept it from coming out. The most bizarre thing is that after this moan, Yang Muyun actually heard a sound similar to "stabbing la" similar to burning meat.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the moonlight was dim, projecting through the skylight, and he could faintly hear the ebb and flow of the waves in the sea outside. He swept around the cell, and suddenly found something that shocked him immensely, the calm man disappeared!

I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw that there seemed to be something on the top of the cave. When I looked up, I almost didn't scare him to death. The calm man somehow climbed to the top of the cave nearly three meters high, face up, his hands and feet tightly clasped in the cracks in the stone, and the whole person was attached to it, looking like a mutated spider.

Hearing this, I touched my chin, and things were already a little unbelievable.

Yang Muyun walked under the calm man and raised his head to take a closer look. He has mild vertigo, and when he tilts his neck for a long time, he gets dizzy. He looked at it for a while, dizzy. At the moment of closing the eyes, in a trance, a flower appeared in front of me, and the scene seemed to have changed.

He saw a large patch of red stars, and later recalled that he thought it should be fire. The calm man was in the fire, and seemed to be holding something.

This scene is less than a second, that is, a blink of an eye. When he looked again, it was still the icy roof of the cave. Later, he told others that they were hallucinating from dizziness. And he firmly believes that he is not mistaken.

The strange moaning sound was made by the calm man, who cried out "oops, oops". On him, from time to time, there was a strange sound of "hiss-la-la" being scorched by fire. The reason why Yang Muyun insisted that he was not dazzled just now and did see a fire was also for this reason.

He was stunned, and the Korean guy came behind him at some point, touched him gently, and signaled not to look at it. Then he said a sentence in English, and it took a long time for Yang Muyun to understand, what he said was that this Japanese man would sleepwalk like this every night.

This is also the first time that Yang Muyun has learned that the calm man is a Japanese.

As time passes, judging by the traces carved into the stone walls every day, more than twenty days have passed. The hostages in the cave were almost dehumanized.

They don't see any hope of rescue.

The pirates are also getting more and more agitated. On this very day, a pirate captured a blonde European girl and raped her in front of all the hostages in the cave. The girl had gone numb, letting skinny monkey-like Southeast Asian pirates toss around her. When the pirate finished tossing, he felt that it was not tasteful enough, and shot the woman in the lower body.

The girl struggled for a long time before she died. She didn't shout, she kept crawling on the ground, bleeding all over the ground.

Yang Muyun found one thing, the food and water provided were getting less and less. Also, so many people are locked up here to eat, drink and Lazar, and the pirates can't control it anymore.

They began to shoot the hostages.

There are killings every day, and there is one less companion every day.

Almost all of the hostages admitted the reality that the hope of rescue was getting lower and lower, and they were afraid that they would never be able to get out alive again.

One night, the Korean boy pulled out a crumpled photo out of nowhere and handed it to Yang Muyun, saying that he had a premonition that death would soon befall him. This is a group photo of his whole family, if he dies and Yang Muyun can survive, please make sure he goes to South Korea. Tell his family about his most embarrassing appearance in his life, he did not give in to the pirates and did not disgrace the family.

There are too many people dying these days, and Yang Muyun has no more tears, just nodded. The trust of death is indescribable.

Sure enough, the next day the Korean boy was arraigned and arrested out of the cell. Never came back.

After another three days, the pirates opened the door of Yang Muyun and the calm man's cell and motioned for them to come out. Yang Muyun took a deep breath and knew that this day had finally come.

What is scarier than death is waiting for death.

They were taken to a warehouse where more than a dozen pirates gathered. The warehouse was filthy, littered with oil drums, tattered seats, and discarded metal parts everywhere.

Yang Muyun and the calm man hung on the iron chain on the left and the right. Both hands were raised high, and the clothes in the front of the heart were stripped away. A pirate took the soldering iron out of an empty barrel that was burning on fire, and it hissed with green smoke.

He came to Yang Muyun first, and without saying a word, he took the soldering iron and burned him.

Speaking of this, Yang Muyun slowly untied the placket of the Tang costume and opened it up. Inside was a vest, and he slowly rolled it up again. I saw a patch of skin in his foreheart, which was clearly different in color from the surroundings, and the edges were all wrinkled, which was really shocking.

This scar Wang Xiaoyu also saw for the first time, and she screamed softly and grabbed my arm tightly.

Yang Shu and Yang Lin, as sons, are estimated to have seen this injury on their father's body. They were all silent, looking a little melancholy and sad.

"And then?" I asked softly.

Yang Muyun took a sip of tea and said, "What happened again is very weird, and I still haven't figured it out." ”

After he was burned with a soldering iron, he fainted straight to death. At the moment of fainting, he saw the pirate holding a soldering iron and scalding the calm man next to him. His fondest memory was of the calm man's indifferent look in the face of fierce pirates and a fiery soldering iron.

I don't know how long it took, Yang Muyun woke up and suddenly smelled a pungent smell of blood. He slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was lying on the ground somehow, sticky underneath him, and when he looked closely, he was actually lying in a large patch of blood.
