The morning sun was always full of warmth. The golden sunlight shone on the surface of the sea, like pieces of golden fish scales dancing on the surface. It was very dazzling. "Hold on a little."
After a night's journey, the Adventure had left New York and entered the Pacific Ocean.
This was Ye Xuan's first real voyage. In the past 20 years, he had never been so close to the sea, whether it was in reality or in the movies.
"The weather is good today. The waves are not big. It's perfect for sunbathing." As Ye Xuan was standing at the bow of the ship and gazing into the distance, he suddenly heard a voice behind him. Ye Xuan turned around and saw a crew member of the Adventure. However, this crew member was a bit special. He wasn't a Caucasian that could be found everywhere in the United States. Instead, he had the same skin color as Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan had seen him before. He was a medium-sized Asian man in his forties or fifties. He was wearing a black cloth gown with the characteristics of the Republic of Hua Xia, a small round hat on his head, and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet. Among the many white and black people on the Adventure, he was very eye-catching, both in terms of skin color and clothes.
"I heard from Captain Horn that you are from Huaxia?" he asked with a kind smile unique to the people of Huaxia.
"Yes. You too?" Ye Xuan maintained the respect he deserved and asked with the same smile. "Yes, my name is Cui Yuanqing.
My hometown is Huifeng, Jiangzhe Province. People here call me Lao Cui. If you don't mind, you can call me Lao Cui! "Lao Cui spoke in Huaxia and walked to Ye Xuan's side.
"Hello, Lao Cui. My name is Ye Xuan. You can call me by my name. My hometown is Futai Province." Ye Xuan also introduced himself.
"So we were neighbors!" After listening to Ye Xuan's hometown, Lao Cui smiled. Jiangzhe Province and Futai Province were adjacent to each other.
"Yes!" Ye Xuan also smiled and said, "Lao Cui, how did you come to the United States?"
"Me?" Lao Cui paused when he heard Ye Xuan mention himself. He looked at the sea and said, "I was sold to the United States as a pig 20 years ago. I was very young at that time. The Qing Dynasty had just fallen. There was no food at home. I was also cheated by foreigners and compradors. I signed the contract without knowing it. When I came to the United States, I found out that I was sold. I worked in the mines for more than 3 years and almost died there. Later on, I found an opportunity to escape and made a living in the United States. I ran from Jinshan to New York. Just like that, more than 20 years have passed. I only came to work on this ship in the past two years. Captain Horn is a good person.
"Lao Cui of Huaxia Ye Lao Cui was. Maybe it because of Huaxia was.. Of. Lao Lao of of of Of.. Li of Moon. of
"Lao of old of the sea" "I am." Lao "of of was.". of "of. of. of. of.".. of of Lao. Ye. of..
"Lao of of of Ocean of of, of the of.". is. Cui ". of" Lao. "Lao Cui, have you gone back?".
"Go back?" Lao Cui was dazed. He nodded his head and then shook his head. He looked into the distance and sighed. "I want to go back, but I don't dare to."
Although Lao Cui didn't say it out, Ye Xuan could understand what he was thinking. He had been away from China for more than 20 years. There was not a single year of peace in China. The whole country was in turmoil. There were wars everywhere. Lao Chui's hometown had changed a lot.
Instead of going back to his hometown to be sad, it was better to deceive himself and leave a memory for himself.
Ye Xuan thought of his own life again. For a moment, both of them were speechless, staring at the boundless sea in a trance.
"Lao Chui, what are you doing?" After a while, Horn's voice came from behind them.
Hearing Horn's voice, both of them regained their consciousness. Lao Chui put on a humble smile again. He turned around and looked at Horn. "Nothing, Captain. I was just chatting with Mr. Ye."
"Well, that's good. Lao Chui, go to the bottom of the ship and tidy up the things below. "Horn said.
"Yes, Captain. I'll go now!" Having worked on the ship for so long, Lao Chui was also a smart person. He knew that Horn must have something to say to Ye Xuan and wanted to send him away. So he nodded at Ye Xuan and walked into the cabin.
"How did you sleep last night, Mr. Ye? Did you get used to it? "Horn walked to Lao Chui's position and asked.
"Not bad. Just a little shaky." Ye Xuan smiled.
"Mr. Ye, you don't go to the sea often." Horn looked at the sea and smiled. "It's the best weather now. The sea is very calm. If there was a storm, you wouldn't say that the ship was shaky."
Hearing Horn's words, Ye Xuan smiled and didn't answer.
Seeing that Ye Xuan didn't answer, after a while, Horn turned around and said, "Mr. Ye, you said that you are going to Sumatra Island. So the Adventure is heading there. But Mr. Ye, do you know the specific location of the island you are going to?"
Ye Xuan didn't answer Horn's question. Instead, he asked, "How many years have you been the captain of the Adventure?"
Horn looked at Ye Xuan suspiciously and said, "7 years. Ever since the Adventure was created, I have been its only captain."
Speaking of the Adventure, Horn's face flashed with a touch of softness.
"So, Captain Horn, I wonder if you have ever heard of an island called the Skeleton Island after all these years of sailing?" Ye Xuan went on to ask.
"Skull Island?" Hearing this name, Horn's eyes suddenly changed and his face darkened. He looked at Ye Xuan and said, "I have heard of this island. It is a very mysterious and terrifying Death Island. Is Mr. Ye going there?"
"Yes, that's right!" Ye Xuan didn't beat around the bush with Horn. He said directly, "I don't need you to accompany me to the island. I just need you to send me there. As for how to leave, I will figure it out myself."
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Horn's surprised eyes lingered on Ye Xuan's face for a while, "Are you serious?"
He went to the island alone and didn't need to leave. Did he want to survive on Skull Island alone?
"Of course!" Ye Xuan smiled, stretched, and said to Horn, "You should have a sea map here. Let's go and have a look. I will draw the location of Skull Island for you. I will rely on you to send me there."
