The year is 1932.

This is the Atlantic Ocean, in the dining room of the first class [of the Virginia cruise ship].

Li Wei sat at the dining table, smoking cigarettes, drinking red wine, and eating steak......

I just feel that my body is a little big.

The character of Li Wei's crossing this time is the best friend of the protagonist 1900, a dead fat man who plays a trumpet, Max Tony.

This is the first time that Li Wei has performed a mission as a supporting role.

After all, what is going to change this time is the protagonist's obsession, if Li Wei crosses the protagonist and gets off the boat, and when the protagonist recovers his consciousness, it will still be the rhythm of suicide by martyrdom.

At this moment, sitting opposite Li Wei is the actor of "The Pianist at Sea", "Danny Budman". TD Lemmon 1900", abbreviated as 1900.

1900 is 32 years old, a small and ordinary-looking guy, but with deep eyes and a romantic face.

"Poof—you're getting off the boat?"

Li Wei is as confused as Max in the movie.

For him, this is simply a matter of joy, the protagonist voluntarily disembarks and completes the task by himself, and the points earned are too easy and enjoyable.

But the problem is, the reason why 1900 was ready to disembark was just too comical -

"I want to hear the sound of the sea. ”

"Poof......

This is the brain hole of literary and artistic youth.

What's going on?

A few years earlier, in 1900 had met an Italian accordionist.

This man used to be a farmer, and his fate was extremely miserable, the land was dry, his wife ran away with someone, and five of his six children died...... It wasn't until he heard the sound of the sea, as if he heard the roar of a struggle against fate, that he began to start a new life for his little daughter, ran around, and finally ran a fish shop on Mott Street in New York.

Coincidentally, a few days ago, when I was recording a record for a record company in 1900, I happened to see this person's daughter, that is, the heroine, outside the window.

1900 fell in love for the first time.

even did not hesitate to kiss the heroine at night, find various opportunities to talk to the heroine, and give the heroine a record recorded by herself...... But in the end, the accosting didn't say a few words, and the record couldn't be sent, so the heroine docked and disembarked.

So the reason for getting off the ship in 1900 this time, although it is to listen to the sound of the sea, is actually a large part of the reason is that I want to find the heroine at No. 27 Mott Street in New York.

Everyone knows the next plot......

The male protagonist did not get off the boat.

He was scared.

The reason for the fear is told to Max near the end of the film in 1900:

"The keyboard has a beginning and an end, and you know exactly that 88 keys are there, and you can't get it wrong. It's not infinite, and you're infinite, and there's no limit to the amount of music you can perform on the keyboard, and I like it, I can handle it easily. And now you're sending me across the springboard, into the city, and I'm waiting for a keyboard with no end, how can I play on a keyboard like that? That's God's keyboard!"

"The city is so big that there's no end in sight. Where can I see it? Even the streets are countless, find a woman, build a house, buy a piece of land, open up a landscape, and then go to a dead end together. Too many choices, too complicated judgments, aren't you afraid of a nervous breakdown? Land, it's too big, he's like a big ship, a woman, a long route, I'd rather give up my life than live in a world where there is no end, anyway, no one in this world knows me now. The reason why I stopped halfway through was not because I could see, but because I couldn't. ”

Faced with this passage, Li Wei was confused.

But after going deep into the heart of 1900, Li Wei gradually had a plan.

A crazy plan.

......

Well, since you think the land is too big, too infinite, too terrifying, then I can just give you the whole little bit of land?

That's right, Li Wei's plan is to buy an island for 1900.

A small island.

The smaller, the better.

Then move the heroine over, build a small villa, buy a piano, plant some fruits and vegetables, raise some chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, have a few more children, teach them the piano, and live a simple and comfortable pastoral life, isn't it beautiful?

Thinking about it this way, Li Wei interrupted the idea of getting off the ship in 1900:

"Don't go to land, land is not for you. ”

1900 looked confused:

"Why?"

"Actually, you already have the answer in your mind, you are just hesitating, I guess even if you are ready to get off the ship and go to land, when you stop on the stairs of the boat and look at the bustling and complicated New York City in front of you, you will definitely turn back. ”

1900 was stunned:

"You seem to know myself better than I do. ”

Li Weiwei made a serious joke:

"You see my eyes swaying back and forth, and I will see people's hearts. ”

1900 let out a long sigh, and his thoughts seemed to travel through time:

"Do you want me to be on this ship for the rest of my life? This ship will only operate for another twenty years at most, and where will I go then?"

"I inquired about the woman you kissed last time, and that she and her father were going to settle on a small island on the course of this ship, and if they invited you to live on the island, you would ...... Would you like to go?"

"Is there such a thing? I heard she lives in New York. ”

"I contacted her father the other day, the accordionist you mentioned, and now the United States is in an economic crisis, and the fish business is not good, so he is going to take his daughter to live on the island. ”

Li Wei said yes, but from 1929 to 1933, the United States was indeed in an economic crisis, and he was right.

1900 was silent.

A look of yearning gradually appeared in his eyes:

"Sounds interesting. ”

"If you want to go, I'll go too, take my wife and children, and let them learn piano with you. ”

"Don't you play the trumpet?"

"Of all the stories I've heard, I've never had a protagonist playing a trumpet...... So I don't want my kids to follow in my footsteps. ”

"Haha, it's the first time I've discovered your humor cells. ”

......

Looking at the innocent smile on 1900's face, Li Wei felt that this matter was still relatively reliable, and when he thought of the ending of 1900's martyrdom, he couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.

The cow was blown out first, but the question is, how to find an island in a week's time, and move the heroine and his father there?

That's a big problem!

.

After a period of careful consideration, Li Wei gradually had a clue, and immediately after dinner, he began to implement this plan.

First, buy a small island.

Soon, Li Wei realized that there was something wrong with this statement.

In 1932, there were no satellites, no Google Earth, and there were many undiscovered islands in the Atlantic Ocean that did not belong to any country.

First to discover, first to possess.

Li Wei's task only needs to find them.

You don't need to buy it at all!

Thinking about it this way, Li Wei immediately found a map of the Atlantic Ocean on the ship.

Then I opened the plane store of "In the Name of the People", bought a free set of "Google Earth" software, opened the software, looked for islands near the route of the Virginia, and compared it with the 1932 ocean map......

Soon, Li Wei found several small islands that had not been discovered in 1932, and finally selected a small island with an area of about 1 square kilometer that was close to the shipping route.

Name it –

New Virginia.

It means the new Virginia cruise ship.

Coincidentally, the island is long and narrow, and it does look a bit like a cruise ship.

New Virginia's coastline is high above the water and will not be flooded at any time, and the island is very suitable for human life due to its fertile soil, small woods, year-round flowers, birds and finches, and no large carnivores.

The question is......

Li Wei, who is on a cruise ship, how to get to this small island?

It was impossible to ask the captain to change course.

Thinking about it, I probably can only rely on airplanes!

Li Wei opened the "In the Name of the People" plane mall again.

looked at the price of the police helicopter that appeared in the play -

5 points!

It's a pity that Li Wei only has 3 points in his hands, so he has to retire Zebei Rongzhi's ball skills and Mori Shigekuan's physical fitness.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully returning the product, getting 2 points, the remaining 5 points, and consuming an additional 10% of the status value, please try to save the status as much as possible.] 】

Li Weiman didn't care and bought the helicopter directly.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully purchasing a police helicopter, free helicopter piloting skills and unlimited refueling, consume 5 points, and have 0 points remaining.] 】

It's night.

Li Wei took advantage of the fact that everyone on the boat was asleep, came to the deck alone, drove the helicopter directly and left, and came to the island after half a day-

New Virginia.
