We got on the boat, and a middle-aged man with dark skin and long sleeves and long pants greeted us.

Gu Wenmin turned his head sideways and whispered to me and Tofu: "This is our captain, the ship is his, and the sea voyage also depends on him." ”

The captain's name is Li Yu, and this time we went to sea, and we rented his boat, and he was the guide. Modern ships are not like the water boats or oarboats of the past, which can be driven with strength, but now they all use high technology, and people who have not learned professionally cannot drive them if they want to. The female student brought by Professor Lin was called Duan Fei, a very eccentric girl, covering her mouth and laughing: "Li Yu? The name sounds a bit like a carp. ”

Tofu belongs to the type that can't walk when he sees a woman, so he immediately accosted him and said, "Sister, let's go together, there is a poem...... There are no colorful phoenix wings, and there is a little bit of wisdom in the heart. ”

Duan Fei glared at Tofu, wrinkled his nose and said, "Who has a clue with you." ”

Tofu was thick-skinned and continued to talk with a shy face, but the carp didn't mind, smiled, and took us to the cabin.

Maybe it's because my personality is naturally suspicious, and when I heard the name of Duan Fei for the first time, the corners of my eyes couldn't help jumping. This girl's surname is broken? Isn't it from the Duan family of the three major tomb robber warlords?

After thinking about it, I felt that it was unreliable, the world is so big, where can I meet people in the circle everywhere, besides, the descendants of the Duan family have basically emigrated overseas, how can they appear in China as students? There are so many surnames in the world, I should think too much.

It seems that my suspicious and thoughtful problem must be corrected, and if I continue like this, I will have to have a nervous breakdown.

The ship is relatively small, divided into two floors, the upper deck is the stern, the command room and the deck, the lower deck is divided into two parts, the first half is the crew lounge, the second half is a fish cabin, the fish caught in the sea, will be kept in the fish cabin, but because we charter the boat, so now the fish cabin is empty, which is placed in the equipment of our trip.

The carp is a veteran of sea sailing, and now is not the fishing season, so he chartered the boat for us to make extra money. On the boat, the carp gave us a brief introduction to the trip, and he said this, and I found out the problem.

It turns out that the island we are going to belongs to the southeastern border of Japan, because of its small location, and the island is full of barren rocks and forests, there is no development value, so it is an uninhabited island, the name is 'Kugishi Island', but in the mouths of these fishermen who go to sea all year round, it has another name, called 'Time and Space Island'.

Why such a quirky nickname?

The carp tells us a strange legend about the island of time.

The location of Time Island is located in the East China Sea, the westernmost part of the Pacific Ocean. The underwater currents of the Pacific Ocean are complex, so the area where they meet is known as the 'shipwreck burial' zone. The so-called shipwreck burial is the place where ships are most likely to get into trouble. Due to the collision of ocean currents under the sea, it is easy for whirlpools, huge waves, undercurrents, sea fog and other dangerous environments to form in that area. Throughout the ages, many ships have had accidents there, so there are many shipwrecks on the seabed in that area, so it is called the place of shipwreck burial.

Due to these unique natural environments, it rains all year round in the sea around Time Island Island, and in Japanese folklore, there used to be a story about pulsatilla.

It is said that there was an old fisherman who was already gray-haired, but his children ignored him, so he lived a lonely life. At the beginning of this legend, I was reminded of the story of the old man and the sea, but the later development was completely different. The old man did not catch a fish for several days, so he decided to go out to sea to fish farther away, and if he could not catch it again, he would consider himself unlucky and die at sea.

He hoisted up the sails and rode the waves farther into the North Pacific. Some of the large fleets met him at sea, laughed at his battered boats, and told him to hurry back to shore, but Pulsatilla did not listen, and insisted on moving forward, and the large fleet, watching him gradually sail towards the range of the space-time island in the dark night.

Due to the chaos of the ocean currents in that area, the area of Time and Space Island has gathered dense fog all the year round, and in the darkness, those white sea fog have turned into black fog barriers, and the pulsatilla is in the call of wind and rain, with a full head of white hair, resolutely moving forward, and the figure is gradually engulfed by the black fog.

The man on the ship said with pity, "This old man is dead, and his ship will be torn apart by the storm." ”

Another said, "He will starve to death at sea." ”

One of the sailors said, "it, we shoot our own fish." "The big ship is working nearby, but they're not close to Plane Island, because the current in the area is chaotic, dangerous, and it doesn't belong in the fish's activity zone. On the third day, a sailor on the ship suddenly exclaimed, pointing in the direction of Time and Space Island: "Look, it's the old man's ship three days ago, the ship has come out." ”

When the people on the boat looked, they saw that the nailed and nailed broken wooden boat was heading in their direction, and there was a man standing on board. Strangely, the man's hair was black.

Where is the pulsatilla?

The two boats met, and the people on board greeted the young man on the broken wooden boat: "Hey, where's the old man on the boat?" Who are you? Why on the old man's boat? ”

The young man was very nervous, and without saying a word, he quickened the speed of the boat, and the crowd watched his ship go away and scolded him for being rude. At this moment, one of the sailors on the ship suddenly turned pale and said, "Ah...... You see, aren't the clothes on his body the same old man's? ”

The people on the boat reacted, but the ship was already far away.

They looked at each other, and none of them could tell why. Could it be that there is some magical power on that island, or maybe it can turn back time? Otherwise, why did Pulsatilla turn into a young man? Of course, it's also possible that pirates at sea robbed the pulsatilla, who can say?

In short, the name of Time Island slowly spread, and it is said that the island has a magical power that can rejuvenate people. There were some explorers who went on expeditions, some people successfully landed on the island, but nothing happened, but they were bitten to death by the poisonous snakes on the island, and some people didn't even reach the island, and were blocked by the evil current, and could only look at the island and sigh.

The carp said, "But don't worry about my skills, I have the confidence to bring you to the island." And now in the season, the ocean currents are not active, which is very helpful for our itinerary. ”

Tofu's imagination is quite rich, and it is speculated that the reason why the old man has become young is because there is really an elixir on the island? Maybe Xu Fu didn't deceive Qin Shi Huang, the rumored Penglai Immortal Island is the current Time and Space Island?

I said, "Imagination is the ladder of human progress, but your imagination is also too unreliable." ”

The carp grinned, showing a white tooth on its swarthy face, and said: "Although that island is a desert island with no people, there are also expeditions to it, and I heard that it is full of stones and trees, and there are snakes, insects, rats and ants everywhere. Not to mention, it takes about five days to reach the destination, and these five days are self-serving, and if you have any questions, you can ask me and my crew. ”

"Crew?" Tofu said: "Who else is there on this boat besides you?" ”

"Of course I can't drive alone for five days, someone has to change the guard, she's in the control room now, and she'll have a chance to meet," said the carp. As he spoke, the carp went to the command room to prepare to set sail, plus the crew member who did not show up, we had a total of twelve people, which can be described as a huge team. And taking advantage of my free time, Tofu and I went to the fish cabin where the equipment was put to take a look, and the equipment was packed in a black equipment bag, as well as some emergency diving equipment and life-saving equipment, which can be described as fully prepared.

But what caught my eye the most was one of the bulging equipment bags, which were stretched out with a lot of edges and corners, and you could clearly see a complete submachine gun shape.

Tofu and I have seen shotguns and pistols in our lives, and when we see the shape, we know that the weapons and pistols in the equipment bag are not of the same level.

Tofu is a typical sour grapes psychology, after looking at it for a long time, his heart was unbalanced, so he said: "The equipment is good, but this equipment is also a little too much, even if we carry a bag for each person, it can't be finished." Therefore, eating public meals has this stinky problem, and I don't know how to save. I poked Tofu's waist and said, "Don't say it." ”

Tofu waved his hand and said, "What are you afraid of, they can't hear it......"

What can't you hear, bald number one is standing behind you, okay? Bald One's face is almost black, okay? Seeing that Tofu was about to continue, in order to prevent him from saying anything shocking, I immediately greeted Bald No. 1, and Tofu reacted at this time, and the words changed to his mouth: "...... However, saving is not good, saving cannot stimulate domestic demand, the old does not go, the new does not come. ”

As he spoke, he gave Bald No. 1 a smile and dragged me to the boat.

When the two of them arrived on the deck, they saw that the ship had left the dock at some point, and at a glance, only a line of yellow sand could be seen on the shore before. Tables and chairs were placed in front of the deck, and the four bald heads were nowhere to be seen, only Gu Wenmin and Professor Lin's two students were playing poker.

Tofu and I often see the sea in Shenzhen, and we don't feel strange when we arrive, the two of us stand on the deck, leaning on the edge of the boat and looking out, and then we hear Tofu say: "I saw that weapon just now, I thought it was very exciting, but now the more I think about it, the more wrong it is, with so many hard weapons, is that place very dangerous?" Lao Chen, why do I feel like I'm on a thief ship? ”
