The Poseidon docked in port, was greeted by the steward, and there was also a medium-sized fishing boat and a small speedboat in the harbor. The housekeeper is about sixty years old this year, he lives with his wife in the Poseidon Manor, his son has completed his military academy with the support of Gamble, holds a position in the Western Navy, and his daughter is married.

Gamble hugged the steward very heroically, and the others greeted the steward with respect, and the steward drove a small truck, and after leaving the sailors on duty, everyone took the small truck to the manor.

The pier road leads all the way to the estate, lined with beautiful oak and pine trees, clean and tidy, without any miscellaneous trees and shrubs. All the way uphill and soon into the estate. The estate has seven buildings, all of which are made of solid wood, red and blue and white, which is also known as the Mediterranean style.

There are two types of crews, one is the seafarers who enter the Sea of the Gods, who live in the left building, and the other who do not enter the Sea of the Gods live in the right building, and they have their own exclusive rooms. The second floor of the three-story building on the front belongs to the housekeeper, and the third floor is Gamble's private domain. In the aisle on the third floor, it is full of photos collected by Grandpa Gamble's generation to this day, and there is also a helipad on the third floor, which is a newly built helicopter take-off and landing platform after booking the new Poseidon a few years ago.

Behind the side of the main building is a restaurant with permanent staff, and there is no fixed chef on a daily basis, and the housekeeper is assigned to be in charge. Because of the return of the Poseidon, most of the personnel today work in the kitchen of the restaurant. They transported the long tables and chairs to the main building, spliced them together and placed them with white tablecloths, put utensils, cups, etc., and the first meal on the return flight would be very formal and grand.

After the twelve crew members and four guests of the Poseidon were all seated, the dishes were delivered from the restaurant in a steady stream, and the three girls served the guests at the table, but they obviously had no experience, and they were clumsy, and even fell and tore off the tablecloth, knocking over a lot of things. Fortunately, the guests and seafarers gave Gamble face, and Gamble himself was very tolerant of them, but the butler couldn't hold it on his face. Gamble whispered a few words in the butler's ear, and the butler nodded and left.

The official opening of the table, Gamble greeted, everyone took care of themselves, and after eating something, everyone chatted while eating. Gamble put the key to the medium-sized fishing boat he got from the housekeeper in front of Tang'er: "20 days, the boat is at the dock. "Ships that can usually be piloted by one person are equipped with keys, and a big guy like the Poseidon can't be started with a key.

Tang Er sat next to Gamble and said, "Captain, if we find ......"

Gamble nodded: "We will help you as much as we can." ”

Tang Er said in a low voice: "The most important thing is secrecy. ”

"They don't talk nonsense, and I don't think they're interested in your stuff either." ”

Tang Er glanced at Ande with some concern, Ande is a very curious person, after the injury was healed, because of the relationship between Su Jia and Fang Shi, he also used his strength to wander around the Poseidon, and also pulled the old crew to ask about herbs, islands and other things.

Gamble looked at Fang Shi opposite: "Fang Shi, do you want your friend to return together in 20 days?"

Fang Shi looked at Su Jia on the left: "Actually, I've always been embarrassed to ask, for fear that you think I don't welcome you...... But what are your plans for a voyage here?"

Ender replied, "I'm going to investigate a few small islands north of the Phi Phi Islands and look for S." "S is Ender's abbreviation and abbreviation for Finding Objects, which is a fungus that grows on a certain plant.

Fang Shi said: "I'm asking about your time." ”

Ande said: "Fang Shi, you have to know the importance of S to human beings, if the Poseidon can help me find S, it will make a great contribution to human society......"

Fang Shi nodded: "I'll help you contact the Western Navy." ”

Su Jia said: "Fang Shi, although the red bat is gone, he also left a message, saying that someone wants to kidnap Ande." Isn't it inappropriate to put the Navy in charge of Ender's safety. ”

Fang Shi looked at Su Jia, Su Jia was puzzled, what was there to see. Fang Shi asked softly, "You didn't plan to accompany Ande?"

"Ah......" Su Jia's mind turned back, yes, and herself. Su Jia's plan is to return to the northern hemisphere with Fang Shi, and then travel together, first to meet her godsister, and then to meet her father...... Itineraries are many. The itinerary and the plan did not take Ender into account at all. Either the phrase "forgetfulness" does not only refer to men.

Su Jia was not very willing to accompany Ander to stay in the Phi Phi Islands, maybe it would take months, or even years. The special topography of the Phi Phi Islands makes the Phi Phi Islands not only have the S that Ander is looking for, but also many plants and trees that Ander is interested in. Ender's luggage is two large pieces, all of which are experimental equipment. It's hard to say if Ender will build a small lab in the Phi Phi Islands and buy guinea pigs to conduct his own research.

Never underestimate Ender's determination and perseverance...... This sentence was specially explained by Su Jia's mother.

There was no plan here, and Fang Shi didn't know what to say, Fang Shi was happy to accompany Su Jia to visit the Phi Phi Islands, and he was also happy to accompany Su Jia to go back to Beth Mountain to see the Martial God, anyway, he was happy to do a lot of things with Su Jia. It's not entirely because of the relationship between men and women, from the perspective of friendship alone, Fang Shi thinks that Su Jia is a very reliable friend, and it is a very happy thing to travel with a very reliable friend. You must know that this time the Poseidon will return to sea, and it will not go to sea again in half a year. Why did you go by yourself in the past six months?

Fang Shi said: "That's it, look for it first." If you find S within 20 days, return with us. If you don't find it, knock Ander unconscious and take it back. ”

Su Jia clapped her hands, this is good.

Ande was dissatisfied: "Classmate Fang Shi, this is related to the health of countless patients in all mankind. Society is advancing, civilization is advancing, science and technology are advancing, but we have not made an effective breakthrough in dealing with terminal illness, in the past 20 years, people have repeatedly found a way to treat terminal illness, in fact, terminal illness is still called terminal disease. Can you understand the desperation of the patient? Can you understand the ...... of the patient's family."

Gamble asked impatiently, "Can you shut him up?"

"Haha. Fang Shi laughed, clinked glasses with Gamble, and then said: "Ande, it's decided anyway, whether you want it or not, you will have 20 days." ”

Ander said: "I am willing to stay." ”

Fang Shi said: "I can't afford to offend your father, I can offend you." Do you think I'll leave you in the Phi Phi Islands, or take you back to the Northern Hemisphere?"

Ander said firmly, "You will stay with me in the Phi Phi Islands until we discover S together." Su Jia, go back first, you're too long-winded. ”

Fang Shi smiled bitterly, and Su Jia said: "People don't want you to stay in the Phi Phi Islands." ”

"He agrees that this matter is important to humanity. ”

Gamble said: "Hey, four-eyed field chicken, let me ask you a question, do you know why cats and bears are global treasures?"

Ender replied: "Because the number of cats and bears is very small, almost extinct, the most important thing is that the cats are directly related to diplomacy. "Otherwise, how can so many extinct creatures be left unattended?

"With the help of humans, there is a trend of cats and bears in abundance. ”

Ender replied: "If there are too many pandas and bears, and they have nothing to do with diplomacy, naturally there will be no one to manage them." Even like deer, if there are too many pandas and bears, resulting in the destruction of the local ecology, humans will hunt the pandas and bears to protect the ecology. ”

Gamble said: "That's it. If humanity is in danger of extinction, then humanity will be protected by everyone, just like a panda and bear. But not now, there are seven billion human beings on the planet, do you think human beings are still precious? But you have been living in an ideal world, and now you only have two choices, find S in 20 days and go with us, and if you don't find S in 20 days, forcibly take you away. There are many things in the world that don't always go the way you want them to, such as this one. ”

"I am a natural person and I have the right to stay. Ender protested.

Gamble smiled, and the other party said, "I like him the most." ”

Fang Shi shook his head: "I don't like it, I thought Ander was a very confident person, but I didn't expect that within 20 days, he didn't have the confidence to find S." ”

Ender immediately replied, "I'm confident that I'll find it." ”

Fang Shi said: "Then why do you care about returning after 20 days?"

Ender is embarrassed: "What if it ......"

"Without self-confidence, how can a person without self-confidence succeed?"

"......" Ande raised his head: "Okay, I will definitely follow you back in 20 days." I'm sure I'll find it. ”

Tang Er admired Ande: "Otherwise, we are also looking for something, and you can draw us the S you are looking for." We'll let you know if we can find it. ”

Ander said, "But I don't have time to help you. ”

Tang Er said: "No, I just want to help you." ”

Ander looks at Su Jia, you look at people. Su Jia was speechless.

Gamble said: "The Poseidon has been stationed for 20 days, and everyone can do activities in the field after the second officer is arranged. If you need help, contact me by satellite phone. "Look at Ender, and then look at Tang'er.

The two nodded, and Gamble said, "Fang Shi, you'd better keep an eye on Ender, and I'll also let people pay more attention to outsiders." ”

Fang Shi nodded.

......

After the meal, Fang Shi said to Su Jia: "Go to my room and rest for a while." ”

"Wow, your room?" asked Su Jia in surprise.

"We each had our own room. Fang Shi said to Ande on the side: "You just find a place to rest, and we will go to Pi Phi Town in the afternoon, by the way, don't wander around, this is a private territory." ”

Ander asked, "Why didn't you invite me to your room?"

Fang Shi replied: "This question...... You don't have to ask. ”

Ander said: "There are a lot of rooms here. ”

Fang Shi said: "There are not many people here, everyone helped us arrange lunch, prepare dinner, and clean up." I'm embarrassed to ask them to tidy up another room. Self-deed. ”

Su Jia smiled at Ande and Fang Shi entered the left building, because of the arrival of the Poseidon, a special reception housekeeper was temporarily added to the left building, and it was okay to call the internal line to tell her if necessary. This is a young and beautiful girl, one of the five people who saved a few years ago, very polite and the other party said hello, Fang Shi responded politely and went to the second floor, room 205 with Su Jia.
