Chapter 1235 The Old Man and the Sea
In the 32nd year of the Republic of China, China was poor and weak at that time. Most of the coastal fishermen used large pairs of boats, large fishing boats and other vessels, all of which were made of wood. They also used sails and human-powered oars as propulsion power, and they took root on the seaside.
The Hai Gang on the sea is no exception. Most of the ships look like this. The entire Hai Gang only has two gas-engine ships bought from Westerners.
The ship that disappeared and reappeared was one of the gas-engine steamships. It was bought by the Hai Gang from the Americans at a large price, and its name was the "Minsunida Beauty".
When we found it, it had already turned off and was floating quietly on the sea, just like the legendary ghost ship.
"When our people boarded the ship, there was no one on the deck. It was a cargo ship. Normally, a cargo ship of this size would only have about twenty crew members at most, but that ship had to go through ten
In Area 1, we also sent some experts to the boat. There were more than 40 people in total. It can be said that the boat was overcrowded...
But when it appeared again, all those who went with it disappeared.
There was no blood on the boat, no signs of fighting, and no obvious signs of collision, such as dents, scratches, etc. However, the entire hull was somewhat deformed.
This shows that the freighter did not hit the rocks or hit something.
Anyway, at that time, the veterans in the sea gang who were working on the sea all day long couldn’t figure out what happened to the ship.”
Old Man Shi said: "However, when our people entered the crew cabin, they unexpectedly saw a person inside...
It was an old man with disheveled hair who looked like a madman. His hair was probably longer than his height, and his beard had reached to his chest. His beard and hair seemed to have never been dealt with in his life. He didn't even have any clothes on him.
He just lay naked in the cabin, unconscious.
He is not from our Hai Gang. There was no such person on board the freighter before it set off!
He just lay there quietly, breathing evenly, as if he was asleep, but no matter how hard our people beat him, he just couldn't wake up.
Later, the old man was brought back to Hai Gang. We invited famous doctors from all over the world, and even a heavenly master from the Quanzhen Sect at that time came to see him. Although you are a ritual officer, Xiaowei, you should know that,
Among the many sects of Taoism, Quanzhen had the highest medical skills, but even the Quanzhen Celestial Master at that time was helpless and kept saying, "Weird, weird, weird" and left shaking his head all the way.
We had no choice but to raise him as a living dead. Unexpectedly, he slept soundly for more than a month without eating or drinking, and suddenly woke up one night!
He spoke clearly and conversed very fluently, and did not appear to be delirious at all.
He said that he was from Dasheyi and had been making a living at sea for generations. He still had a wife and a pair of children at home, but Gaotang was no longer there...
In short, his thinking is very clear, he can even name his wife and children, and there is absolutely no problem with his sanity.
But whenever we asked him why he appeared on our boat, he seemed very painful, holding his head and wailing and screaming, and then fell asleep again, and he slept for more than a month. When he woke up
Finally, we completely forgot who we were...
As for what he said, we have also verified it.
Here's the weird thing. We had never heard of a place like Dasheyi. Later, we got a map and asked him to find his hometown on the map. He pointed it out accurately.
The location was approximately in the current area of Qingdao, Shandong Province. We sent people there to inquire about it for a long time. Where is there any big house in the local area?
However, a disciple with a sharp mind found some clues in some ancient books and legends about Pingdu City below Qingdao. It turned out that Dasheyi was not where it is now at all.
This is a small village next to the ancient city of Jimo that was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. It lasted until the Yuan Dynasty. The fierce people went south and massacred the city everywhere. This place was devastated by war and became a white land.
In other words, the hometown, wife, children, etc. he mentioned were all from before the Yuan Dynasty at least!!
But he is definitely a living person. We have confirmed this repeatedly. The Hai Gang is not a small sect that we don’t understand. We can still confirm whether he is dead or alive.
Anyway, why he was at sea, what was on the sea, and why he appeared on our ship, this matter is still a mystery to us even now..."
A person who was at least from before the Yuan Dynasty appeared on the ship of the Republic of China inexplicably, and the rest of the crew also disappeared...
However, this is still a big living person!!
Somehow, I suddenly thought of those beauties in the Guandi Temple. They seemed to have one characteristic...longevity!!
And a large part of the reason why they were destroyed by the Zhou royal family and the heavenly officials was because of their longevity!
After a moment of silence, I asked: "Is this old man...still alive now?"
"Alive! In the 32nd year of the Republic of China, his hair and beard were already gray and his skin was wrinkled. Judging from his appearance, he still had at least ten years to live. But he actually lived to this day in one breath. The most important thing is that his appearance is almost
Nothing has changed.”
Old Man Shi sighed: "What an enviable lifespan this is. He is now in a fishing ground in our sea gang. It can be seen that he is definitely a good fisherman and has been exposed to these sea jobs.
At that time, he didn't need any guidance at all. He could get started quickly and was extremely familiar with it. This was completely consistent with his identity as a fisherman. His condition was still the same as before. When asked about key things, he immediately fell into coma and forgot when he woke up.
All the recent events.
After so many years, he has almost become a member of our sea gang. No one asks him about the past things, because there will be no results if he does. If you calculate carefully, he may have been around for fifty or sixty years.
I didn’t faint at all, and I have deep feelings for our sea gang. Last time someone went to the fishing ground to look for thorns and injured a young man. He picked up the harpoon and stabbed the man in the chest, stabbing him to death on the spot.
, He is very concerned about everything in the Hai Gang, and almost regards this place as his home. Except for stabbing one person to death, nothing has happened to him in so many years, and he has not shown anything special. The people in the fishing ground
Everyone regards him as one of their own, and many times everyone forgets his origin..."
"It is indeed an enviable ability, but with all due respect, although you are quite afraid of death, you don't seem to be the kind of person who is obsessed with immortality. You should still be quite open-minded about destiny.
.”
I smiled and said: "So, this should not be the reason why you are interested in District 11. So, why are you interested in District 11? I'm afraid this old man was not the only one on the ship that disappeared and reappeared.
Bar?"
"Haha, your kid has seen through everything."
Old Man Shi smiled and pointed at me, and then said: "Forget it, just follow me and I will take you to see something!!"
