Chapter 25 One More Person
Professor Gan took out the compass and shook it twice. After a moment, he pointed his finger and said: "This is east, everyone should swim this way!"
"Professor Gan, I'm afraid there's something wrong with your compass." I said.
Old Man Gan disagreed. He always believed that there was nothing wrong with his compass, and that other people's compasses also pointed in this direction.
"If it's normal, your compass will definitely be correct, but when you enter this place, your compass may not be accurate." I said.
Professor Gan wanted to continue arguing with me, but Hu Mei stopped him. Hu Mei said to Professor Gan: "Listen to Brother Yang this time. Anyone who has any objections can leave alone!"
This time the title was actually Brother Yang. It seemed that my "status" in her mind had increased a lot. I am used to Hu Mei getting close to anyone she uses.
The big anchor and I were in front, and they were behind. When we got out of the sea, it was calm outside, and it was already noon. When we looked back, the sailboat had long disappeared...
Sure enough, there was an island not far away. Looking from both sides, it was so big that you couldn't see the sides.
"Damn it, after so many days at sea, I finally saw land!" The anchor flapping and swam towards the island.
From a distance, the island is covered with dense jungle, and there is a very tall mountain behind the island, so it can be seen from here.
"Wait for everyone when we get to the beach, don't go in there yourself!" I shouted to the anchor.
Soon, everyone followed them ashore. Professor Gan stared at the compass and said: "It's really east here. It's really strange..."
"With your level, you're still a professor, but you don't know as much as I do!" Dazhanzuo said lazily, already lying on the beach.
Professor Gan wanted to refute, but he glanced at Hu Mei and seemed to hold back what he wanted to say, leaving only one sentence: "I'm too lazy to be like a 'second-rate' like you!"
Da Ao was enjoying the sunbathing, seemed to be in a good mood, and did not continue to argue with Professor Gan.
Not only the anchor, but also other people were in a mood as bright as the sunshine above their heads. They all took off their equipment and ran to the sea to wash...
"Isn't this place equipped with air conditioning?" Hu Mei and Jin Can's men said while taking a bath.
"The temperature here is really not like winter. Could it be that we were taken to the tropics by a sailboat?" I thought in my mind.
"Professors, do you know why it's so hot here?" Hu Mei asked.
"Maybe there is a volcano down here." After Professor Pitt finished speaking, Professor Gan nodded in agreement. Looking at Professor Li again, he has always been reticent.
"These are not important. Let's make adjustments first and discuss them later," Hu Mei said.
At this time, someone patted me and turned around. It turned out to be Li Jingliu. She glanced at me and motioned to go away. The two of us came to a bush.
I looked at her in surprise and said, "What do you want to do? I'm not interested in you..."
"Don't be narcissistic. All the men in the world are dead, and I can't even look down on you! You smell like a bandit..." Li Jingliu glared at me and said.
"Then I really don't know what else you can do with me." I found a tree and leaned on it leisurely and said.
"Did you release all the ghosts on the ship?" Li Jingliu suddenly asked. I straightened my back against the tree and said, "What do you mean?"
Li Jingliu snorted and said, "If you let those ghosts go, aren't you afraid that they will continue to harm people at sea?"
It seemed that she knew everything, and there was no need for me to hide it, saying, "They are all innocent."
"I
I am asking you, do you dare to guarantee that they will not continue to harm people at sea? Even if you guarantee, you are violating the laws of nature. They should not continue to be on the ship, let alone leave the ship to them!"
When she asked me this question, I really didn't know how to answer. I thought about it carefully and realized that I really couldn't represent them, let alone guarantee anything for them.
"You should burn this ship and let them reincarnate themselves!" Li Jingliu lowered her voice very low. She didn't seem angry. She was just discussing with me naturally, with a little contempt mixed in...
"They said that after handling the matter, they will naturally go back and reincarnate." I said.
"Do you believe the lies? I hope you are not too smart to be confused for a moment." Li Jingliu said and walked away.
At this time, those people had already landed and were setting up tents. Due to the shortage of supplies, some people directly cut down trees to use as supplies. They saw that they were setting up a temporary camp.
After the last calamity, the number of people was already less than twenty, so now we still have Da Anchor, Xiao Miao and me.
In the distance, Hu Mei walked towards me, followed by Franklin and Pan Sen. She greeted me from a distance, and her enthusiasm was no less than that of an old friend reunited after a long separation.
"Brother Yang, what do you think we should do next?" Hu Mei asked.
"Boss Hu, you have so many talents. I'm afraid you don't need to come here to ask me. If they know about it, they will think that I am stealing their jobs." I glanced at Professor Peter and others.
Hu Mei looked back and said with a smile: "We are all in the same boat. Let's discuss it together. They won't care about it."
"Since you said that, I think finding food is the most important thing now." I patted my belly.
"You kid, don't act stupid, that's not what Boss Hu asked." Franklin said.
Seeing Franklin like this, I didn't want to talk to them anymore and turned around to leave. Pan Sen stopped me and said, "Brother Yang, we don't mean any harm. Don't be surprised by Franklin's temper."
Pan Sen was very polite to me. It seemed that he still remembered that I saved him.
"Both of you call me brother? I'm a little confused. Let me sort out the relationship..." I scratched my head deliberately and said.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it's just a title. My husband liked to read martial arts novels, so I'll call you Yang Shaoxia." If Hu Mei hadn't said that, I would have forgotten that she is an American and her husband is Chinese.
Hu Mei continued the topic: "Young Shaoxia, I just want to ask, what do you think of this island?"
After Hu Mei made insinuations for a long time, I realized that she wanted to ask me what the feng shui of this place was and whether there was a large tomb hidden there. I also sincerely admired Hu Mei. At this time, you still want to rob tombs and find gold?
"The same goes for Hu Mei. Even though he said he was in a position to do so, he just said that he wanted to rob tombs. He also said that he wanted to explore the historical truth. All he said were words that put gold on his face."
When I thought of this, Hu Mei suddenly took out a piece of rubble, pointed to the text on it and said, "I just picked this up. It seems to be ancient Piqian text. Do you understand it?"
I took the rubble and looked at it, raised my eyes, and said to Hu Mei: "I'm afraid your purpose is not to find the shrimp boss?"
Hu Mei and Franklin looked at each other, and Hu Mei said: "To be honest, we just negotiated with your leaders to find someone; we do have our own tasks."
Hu Mei told me that they were looking for the ancient kingdom of Piqian, but it had nothing to do with me, so I immediately rejected Hu Mei's request.
Hu Mei then asked me how much money I wanted, and then she held out a few
It's a finger, and it's in U.S. dollars. It's a number I can't refuse.
"To be honest, it's not that I'm greedy for money. It's just that the dilapidated house in my hometown needs to be renovated. And they are all on the same island. Even if I don't cooperate with them, I still have to help when things happen. In this case, no fool wants money." I said.
Keep giving yourself reasons to explain.
"Okay! But I have two requirements." I said.
"No problem." Hu Mei readily agreed to me.
The ancient country of Biqian had been mentioned by my father, but where exactly it was and what kind of place it was, my father didn't know.
At night, it was very cool here. With the cool breeze blowing, everyone lay comfortably in the tent and fell asleep already.
I woke up from peeing in the middle of the night, walked out of the tent, and wanted to relieve myself in the bushes behind.
Through the moonlight, I suddenly noticed a figure beside the bushes. His back was to me, his hands were hanging down, and he was standing facing a thick tree.
"Is there anyone else on this island?" I thought as I got closer. The moonlight illuminated half of his body. Judging from his clothes, he should be Jin Can's subordinate.
"Brother, is that convenient for you?" I asked.
As soon as I said hello to him, the man turned around and left without saying anything. I was on his side, and I could only see half of his dark face during the whole process. Many people wake up in the middle of the night to urinate in a daze.
Talk to me, I don't take it to heart.
After I finished, I looked behind me and saw that there was no one behind me. I shook my head and muttered, "I walked pretty fast. I'm afraid I'm in a hurry."
In the morning, after everyone had simply filled their stomachs, Hu Mei gathered her people. In order to facilitate scheduling and centralized management, she and Jin Can's men were officially combined into a team, and everything was subject to Hu Mei's orders.
"Boss Hu, can you also give us three guns?" I asked.
"Yang Shaoxia, there is really a shortage of guns. Do you think this knife is okay? This is much better than the one I gave you last time. It is an authentic Supor saber." Hu Mei held the knife in his hand and turned it around.
This old fox really says one thing and does another, and is not reliable at all.
"Lao Fan, what are we doing?" Dawhao asked.
"Enter the island." I replied.
"Isn't it nice to be here? If a passing ship can send a signal for help, why should we go in?" Big Anchor asked.
"Go to the back mountain and have a look, maybe there will be treasures there," I said.
"You mean there is a big tomb here?" Dawg said excitedly.
"Have you seen this island on a map?" I said.
The anchor shook his head and I said, "That's it. Okay, let's go in and have a look. If we don't come back, there won't be any delay."
This place was overgrown with weeds, and it was difficult to judge the terrain at all, and the water veins had not yet been found, so I just gave the anchor a casual explanation to avoid him nagging in my ears.
After organizing everything, I still led the way, followed by Hu Mei, Li Jingliu, Jin Can and others, and finally my subordinates. We all walked in a straight line towards the depths of the dense forest.
Not only the anchor had doubts, but others were also puzzled. Wouldn't it be better to take a bath in lukewarm sea water every day, sleep and wait to be rescued? Why do we have to enter the island?
To be on the safe side, Hu Mei ordered that no one be allowed to move separately, and the pathfinders were also cancelled. The bushes and grass here were as tall as one person, and I kept cutting down the vegetation in front of me that blocked the way.
