No matter how frightened we were, Old One Eye was extremely excited at the moment. He nodded repeatedly and got the strength from nowhere. He jumped over the guardrail, jumped onto the rescue boat with great agility, and hugged the man named Qi Houhou vigorously.

Laugh loudly.

Brother Yaozi wanted to step forward to speak, but my master stretched out his hand to stop him. He glanced at my master, saw that my master secretly shook his head, and took two steps back, leaving time for Qi Houhou and Old One Eye.

I don’t know whether these two people are truly righteous or have a plastic brotherhood. Anyway, at this moment, both of them were surprised and happy, with tears in their eyes, and they almost hugged and jumped around.

After a long time, the two of them gradually calmed down.

Qi Hou looked at Old One Eye with some confusion and asked, "Why are you here?"

"It's a long story, but it's finally the end of the world!"

Old One Eye sighed, then came to his senses, pulled Qi Houhou and jumped onto the broken fishing boat again, pulled Shunzi, who was in a daze, to Qi Houhou, and said with a smile: "Monkey, don't you know who this kid is? Take a look.

, look carefully!”

Qi Houhou stared at Shunzi suspiciously. At first he was a little confused, but then his expression gradually became serious. He walked around Shunzi several times, but his eyes gradually turned red: "Are you... Shunzi?"

Seeing Shunzi nodding, he hugged Shunzi again, tears streaming down his face. He was such a big man, his nose was so painful that it covered Shunzi's shoulders, and he said tremblingly: "We thought you were dead.

, we have been thinking about you for so many years, but it’s a pity that we can’t get out, otherwise we would have gone to find you a long time ago, otherwise we would be sorry for Brother Luo!”

"My dad..."

Shunzi swallowed a little more, and then asked in a trembling voice: "Is he... also on the boat?"

Qi Houhou was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly and patted Shunzi hard on the shoulder.

"impossible!!"

Shunzi lost control of her emotions and yelled: "My dad is the most powerful among you, why are you all alive, but he..."

Qi Houhou was not annoyed. He turned away and said softly: "I know you are feeling very uncomfortable. If you want to blame, just blame Uncle Qi. It was us who dragged your father down. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be able to survive..."

Shunzi pushed Qi Hou away. Seeing that he was too excited, I hurriedly hugged him and dragged him behind. At first, he was still struggling, but when he saw that he couldn't fight, he gradually gave up and just kept going.

The child's whimpers and cries were like the wail of a fierce ghost, which was particularly penetrating.

When I saw this, I sighed in my heart. I understood his mood very well and did not lose it. I never knew how heavy the word father was. It was always difficult for father and son to be so worried. Even in relatively ordinary days, father was the biggest

A disaster, but once you lose it, you will find that the sky has collapsed, and the torrent of the world is rushing towards you, making you breathless, as if the end is coming, and then you will suddenly wake up - ah, it turns out

He resisted so much for me.

I wanted to comfort him a few words, but I felt that what I lost was not as painful as his. After all, my father was not dead yet, he just fled and disappeared. There was still a glimmer of hope, but he was left with despair, and everything he said was a bit pale.

, and finally just patted his shoulder lightly and put the remaining half pack of cigarettes and lighter into his hand.

At this time, he may need this.

At this time, Qi Houhou also gradually calmed down, glanced at my master and the others, looked at Old One-eye, and said hesitantly: "These guys... don't look like your crew, do they?"

"How can I have such a life!"

The old one-eyed man smiled bitterly: "Actually, I followed them on an errand and got stuck here."

Qi Hou said "Oh" without much reaction. He looked at the group of us from head to toe. My master stretched out his hand and said clearly, "Sit down and talk. You have been here for a long time to communicate with each other."

We guys are still confused like fools, it's time for us to have our doubts clarified.

Qi Hou smiled heartily, asked the other two men to stay on the rescue boat, and sat down cross-legged in front of us.

He and Lao Duyan were old acquaintances, and the two of them were working together very well at the moment. The whole thing was explained clearly with just a few words.

It turns out that these two people are from the same village!!

We already know the way to join the Hai Gang. It is actually a pyramid model. There are many grassroots fishing villages below, from which talented people are selected to enter the headquarters for training. Old One-Eye and Qi Houhou were childhood friends, and they have a very close relationship.

It's better, but it's a pity that the old one-eyed talent is not good, and he is mediocre like me. But when I met my master, he didn't have the same luck as me and could only stay in the village. However, Qi Hou's talent was extremely good, and in the end

After being selected into the Hai Gang headquarters, their lives diverged.

Because of his excellent performance, he was finally noticed by Luo Songyuan, the most dazzling rising star in the sea gang at that time. From then on, he followed Luo Songyuan around the world, and was promoted to first officer by Luo Songyuan along the way. In the end, they were lost in District 17 together.

"You have also seen that this is not a place of death."

Qi Hou spread his hands and sighed: "It's just that before entering here, we encountered many attacks by the sharks. Those sharks only attacked outsiders. Many of our companions died at that time, including Brother Luo, who died fighting hard at that time.

, If he hadn’t killed many sharks in one go, I’m afraid none of us would have survived.”

Zhang Xinya keenly caught the key point in his words and immediately asked: "You said that the sharks only attack outsiders, that is to say, there are still indigenous people here? And you can sail here safely now precisely because you have joined these

Aboriginal?"

"This statement is not accurate. They are all outsiders. Just like us, they accidentally fell into District 17. Over time, they became indigenous!!"

Qi Hou said: "You can't believe it? There is such a magical place in the world. It is empty under the sea, and the seawater pours in to form an underground sea. Not to mention, there is an island in this sea, where many people live.

Lots and lots of people!!”

When he said this, a smile appeared on his lips, and he seemed to be extremely satisfied with the life here!

In his words, those sharks live in this underground sea. They are the only creatures that can get out. When the cracks open and swim upstream, they will appear on the surface. He feels that the attacks of the sharks are not malicious killings.

It's more like an assessment. Only those who pass this assessment are qualified to reach the other side of the underground sea.

I thought about what those sharks did, tearing apart the living people, and even some crew members had obvious bite marks on their bodies, and their flesh and blood were devoured. What kind of assessment is this?

Monkey Qi seemed to see what I was thinking, so he smiled and said to me: "The ocean is the cruelest place in the world, where the weak eat the strong, and the test is naturally not just a game, it can really kill people!"

My master then asked: "What kind of place is that island?"

"I don't know much about it."

Qi Hou said frankly: "They said it was the residence of the gods."

He described that the island looked like a volcano, but it was very big. People like him could only live on the surrounding beaches, where they cultivated farmland and planted a plant unique to the island.

It needs sunshine and salt water for watering. After it grows, it can be ground into powder and can be eaten. It is a bit like wheat outside, except that the things made contain salt, which is very magical. Houses and docks are also built there, and fuel is even mined.

It's just very limited, and there are no fish in this sea area. There is a world of sharks under the sea, so their frequency of going to sea is not very high. It is more like patrolling. They send out a few ships every time to search for people who inadvertently break in.

The people here.

As for the central area of ​​the island, it is a dark dense forest. No one knows what is in the dense forest. Some people have walked into it, but have never come out.

Therefore, the central area of ​​the island has become a forbidden place.

This island has existed for too long. People have often been lost here since humans were able to sail ships to the sea. These outsiders began to settle on the island early. The central area of ​​the island is still a mystery. For many years,

Since then, countless people could not restrain their inner curiosity and walked in, but none of them came out. However, there is a saying among outsiders like them - there is a god in the center of the island!

Where and when this statement originated, no one knows, but everyone knows this legend!

Old Bai looked at Qi Hou with strange eyes: "Looking at you like this, you seem to be quite satisfied with the life here?"

"We are all from the Hai Gang!"

Qi Houhou sighed softly, with a look of desolation on his face: "I'm tired of killing, and it's really nice to have a place like this to grow old. If there are regrets, there are..."

After saying this, he glanced at Shunzi who was not far away, but ultimately did not say any more.

"Is this island the legendary Penglai Island? Is that where Guo Xun came out of? And he returned there with the body of Concubine Yang?"

Zhang Xinya muttered to herself, looked at my master, and said, "Shouldn't the legendary fairy island be full of fairy energy? Why do I look so gloomy and filled with the breath of death!"

To be honest, I feel weird too!

Listening to the monkeys' descriptions, their lives seem to be really peaceful and happy.

But this kind of happiness exists in such a place, and it seems illusory and weird!

How to say...

This feeling gave me a sense of déjà vu. After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly realized where this sense of familiarity came from.

I remember that my teacher once taught me an article called "The Peach Blossom Spring" written by Tao Yuanming, and it said this.

"It was extremely narrow at first, and only then could people pass through it. After walking for dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear. The land was flat and vast, and the houses were neatly arranged. There were fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, and bamboos. There was traffic on the streets, and chickens and dogs heard each other. There were people going about planting crops, and men and women wearing clothes.

He looks like an outsider, with his yellow hair hanging down and his long hair hanging down, and he is enjoying himself."

How similar is all this to this place?

We passed through a canyon in the sea and entered an isolated place. This place seemed to have such a paradise!

However, Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Land is a dream of Huangliang. Does this place... really exist?

I looked at Qi Houhou and felt vaguely that something was not right.

So beautiful and so safe!!

As far as I know, there is no such place in the world!!!

An intuition told me that there was something strange in this.

My master seemed unaware of this, smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Our boat is broken. It seems we have to take your boat to go there and take a look."

Qi Houhou was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Then let's set off now? Believe me, you will definitely like it there!!"
Chapter completed!
