Chapter 6 Part Five: Failure

My mind was so chaotic, with so many thoughts, I didn't know where to start.At this time, I heard Mrs. Luo say: "Zhi Xun, you can speak more clearly, you didn't kill him?" I killed him! However, just now you said that he will not die. I pushed him off a cliff that high, and I think I think he's probably dead, I really don't know. You speak slowly, first of all, you tell me why he will not die? He took a medicine. a medicine?What medicine? Elixir. Elixir? Luo Zhixun and his wife, at this point in the conversation, I couldn't bear it anymore, and I said loudly: Don't talk about it, it doesn't make any sense at all, what's the use of saying it?

Mrs. Luo turned her head and looked at me with an almost reproachful look: Mr. Wei, can't you hear what he said, is it the crux of the whole incident? I sneered: what is the key? Mrs. Luo said: "Immortal medicine." I waved my hand violently to show my distaste for such words: Do you think Luo Zhiqian got something that Qin Shihuang couldn't get back then? My question, of course, is full of sarcasm.But Mrs. Luo's Ci is really powerful, she immediately retaliated to me: We have obtained a lot of things that Qin Shihuang didn't even dare to think about, right? I rolled my eyes, and it was indeed true, so I was speechless for a moment.

Mrs. Luo said again: So, these are not meaningless words. Mr. Wei, I am his wife, so I can naturally know that what he said at this time is a very important truth! I have absolutely no room to refute, so I can only say: OK, you might as well continue talking. As I spoke, I pointed to Luo Zhixun, and before my words came out, Luo Zhixun had already said: I have finished what I want to say. Mrs. Luo hurriedly said: No, you still have a lot to say, even if he has taken a medicine, which is the medicine of immortality, why do you have to push him off the cliff? Luo Zhixun covered his face with his hands in pain, and after a while, he said: He wants me to take this elixir too.

Does he have this medicine with him? No, he wanted me to go to that deserted island, where the elixir was located, and that deserted island was exactly what he found after he got lost at sea during the war. Things are finally getting a little closer. Luo Zhiqian disappeared during a military operation, and he drifted to a small deserted island.This small island is, of course, one of the many small islands in the sea that have not been noticed. On that small island, Luo Zhiqian took the elixir until he was found by Luo Zhixun. The relationship between the two of them is of course very good, because Luo Zhiqian wants his brother to take the elixir as well.

Things can be reasonably explained up to here, but what follows is hard to explain. If Luo Zhixun didn't want to live forever, he could have rejected Luo Zhiqian's proposal, why would he push Luo Zhiqian off the cliff? So, I ask again: You refused? Luo Zhixun didn't comment, didn't even nod or shake his head, he just sat dumbfounded. Mrs. Luo asked a few words, but Luo Zhixun just kept silent. Mrs. Luo sighed and said to me: Mr. Wei, can you let him be quiet first?Anyway, we won't run away on the boat, let him settle down first, and we'll ask him later, okay? I agree. Luo Zhixun's current situation is obviously too much stimulation. If we continue to discuss this issue, I'm afraid he will not be able to bear it.Besides, he cannot escape on the ship, and the voyage will take nearly a month, so I can take my time.

So, I immediately retreated to the door: Mr. Luo, please calm down first, see you tomorrow. I opened the hatch, backed out, and closed the door. When I turned around, I saw a middle-aged man standing behind him with a blue face and pale lips. I could tell from the clothes he was wearing that he was the captain of the ship. I sneered: There is a way to make money, Captain! The captain almost burst into tears: Who are you?let's discuss Without waiting for the captain to finish speaking, I said: What are we discussing?Discuss whether I am taking bribes? I didn't say who I was, just asked if he wanted to discuss with me whether I was taking bribes.This is the art of speaking, because in this sentence, I give the other party a strong hint that I am a person who is qualified to accept bribes!

The captain smiled wryly: yes. I nodded my head and said proudly: Well, it depends on your sincerity. The captain hurriedly said: I am sincere. I said: Well, find me a place to eat and sleep first, it is best to give up your current place. The captain said: Yes, yes. I said again: Then, let's discuss it slowly. The captain smiled wryly: Sir, I think you are probably not going to report on me, are you? I smiled and said: It seems so, but it depends on whether I am comfortable here, do you understand? The captain nodded repeatedly and let me into his bedroom. His bedroom was just as luxurious, and I honestly collapsed on the bed while he stood aside in embarrassment.

I waved my hand like I was dealing with a beggar: You can arrange a place to sleep by yourself, I'm going to borrow it here temporarily. The captain immediately agreed repeatedly and walked out. I lay on the bed, feeling very relieved, I treated this bastard captain like this, and I found Mr. and Mrs. Luo again, which made me so happy that I couldn't help whistling. After a while, I fell asleep. I was awakened by a loud bang. When I opened my eyes and looked, I thought I was dreaming, I couldn't understand what was going on!I saw the captain who was still respectful to me before I fell asleep, now wearing a neat uniform and holding a pistol in his hand, standing at the door fiercely.

As he waved his arms, four or five tall crew members rushed towards me. Those four or five sailors rushed towards me, no matter how obvious it was, it was not good for me, and I naturally knew this.However, I don't understand why the captain suddenly became tough and was going to be against me?Could it be that he is always afraid that I will reveal his secret, so he will come to kill me? However, if he was thinking this way, he should have killed me while I was asleep, instead of openly asking four or five strong men to deal with me, but if that's not the case, what can he rely on?

While I was thinking, those four or five strong men had already rushed to my bed. The captain pointed his gun at me and shouted: "Catch him!" As soon as I stretched out my hand: Don't move!Mr. Captain, don't you think of yourself when you do this? The captain grinned grimly at me: You are a wanted fugitive who stole aboard my ship. I will keep you on board and hand you over to the police when you return to the voyage! I sneered: Are you detaining one of me, or are you detaining the other two as well? My other two meanings naturally refer to the Luo Zhixun couple.My words are also tantamount to reminding him, don't get too complacent, he still has something in my hands!

However, unexpectedly, after listening to my words, the captain laughed out loud, clearly he was confident, and he roared at me: Shut up! I froze for a moment while quickly considering the situation.He had a gun in his hand, and there were four or five people in front of my bed.However, he said that he would detain me, which made me conclude that if he didn't dare to kill me, then I would make a fuss, and things could be done. I spread my hands: shut up I only said three words, bowed, and jumped up from the bed.The bed is elastic, so my jumping up from the bed was extra fast and powerful. As soon as I bounced up, I attacked forward with both hands and feet. Three big men were hit by me at the same time. They howled and fell backwards, and I landed immediately, rolling, and rolled to the captain's feet. At this time, the three big men who were hit by me were also rolling on the ground in pain. It can be said that the ground was full of people, and the captain didn't even know that I had come to his feet. But when he finally knew this, it was already too late! Because at that time, I had already hugged his legs and dragged him violently, causing him to fall on his back.I slashed his wrist, grabbed the pistol, jumped up, slammed the cabin door, stood with my back against the door, and shouted: Stand up, everyone, put your hands on your head! Seeing that the gun was in my hands, the four or five big men naturally had no room to resist, so they obediently put their hands on their heads and backed away. The captain fell back to the sky, and the fall was really hard. He lay on the ground for a long time before standing up, rubbing the back of his head, and looking at me fiercely: You can't escape legal sanctions. I said: Maybe, we might be locked in a cell. He shouted: Why should I go to jail? I said: Your memory is too bad. In the opposite room, you smuggled two criminals out of the country. One of them has already been sentenced to death. Have you forgotten? The captain took a breath: You can't threaten me. I was stunned for a while, and said: What do you mean? The two of them left. I couldn't believe my ears, I lost my voice and said: Gone? Although the captain was embarrassed, his expression was still very proud: he put down the lifeboat and left secretly. You have no evidence! I can't help but be truly stunned! This news hit me really hard!The blow was so great, not because once the two of them left, I could no longer threaten the captain, because my goal was not the captain.But because the two of them left, my situation can be said to be extremely bad. Originally, I had two ways to change my situation. One way is that I can prove that Luo Zhixun is not guilty.The second way is to take Luo Zhixun back to prison. Apart from doing one of these two points, I have no way to change my situation, and I will be wanted forever! However, to achieve any of these two points, Luo Zhixun must be present! Now that Luo Zhixun is gone, what should I do? I stayed there for a full minute before I said: This is impossible, now we are in the sea, and they got off the lifeboat, what are the chances of surviving?Why are they taking this risk? The captain said: Then how do I know? I sternly said: You are the one who hid the two of them! The captain laughed, and he smiled very calmly: If you think so, then after the ship arrives at the port, you can accuse me to the local police, but when the local police can't find anyone on the ship, you will be in trouble. In the calm and complacent expression of the captain, I believed that Luo Zhixun and his wife had really left! They would rather go drifting in the vast ocean, of course, to escape from me, but when they escaped, I was sleeping soundly, I really wanted to hit myself on the head with the butt of the gun in my hand, I really How stupid to think that they will not leave when they are on the boat! I can't describe how difficult it is for me that they are gone, and I honestly don't know what to do! The captain smiled at me sullenly: put down the gun in your hand, in fact, if you want to leave, I can provide you with a lifeboat, water and food. I was really in a turmoil, Luo Zhixun and his wife were no longer on the boat, of course it was meaningless for me to stay on the boat, but if I was drifting on the sea, what was the use? The ocean is so vast, can two lifeboats meet in the ocean? In my life, it can be said that I have never encountered consecutive failures like today. Moreover, my opponents now, strictly speaking, cannot be regarded as opponents, they are just a death row prisoner, a woman. After a long while, I slowly came to my senses: Captain, please let these people go out, I have something to tell you. The captain said coldly: You first return the gun to me. I hesitated. If I returned the gun to him, then he would have full control over me.But if I don't give him the gun, what am I going to control now? I have failed, failed utterly! The captain stretched out his hand and smiled at me: Give it to me! I didn't throw the gun to him, but said: Captain, I am a real desperado now, I think you should understand that a real desperado dares to do anything! The captain's complexion changed, and his voice was a little unnatural: But based on your current charges, you won't be sentenced to death! Things finally turned around a little bit. The captain was really afraid that I would shoot him if I got mad, so I naturally refused to let go of the gun. I said: For me, it is almost the same! The captain's face grew even paler. I said again: Of course, if you didn't push me too hard, I wouldn't mess around. The captain succumbed a little, he said: Well, what do you want? The captain expressed his compromise, but I was at a loss in my heart, and I didn't know how to answer him.It all comes down to me failing so badly that I barely have the will to start over.Without the determination to start from scratch, of course I don't know what to do. The captain asked me again: What do you want? I had to give him a ridiculous answer, I said: Please wait a moment, let me think about it. The captain looked at me in astonishment, and at this moment, because my own mind was in a state of confusion, I didn't care about his demeanor, I was just thinking quickly. What should I do? The most ideal thing is that I can have a helicopter and a speedboat immediately, then I can immediately search for the whereabouts of Luo Zhisun and his wife on the surface of the sea, but on a very dilapidated cargo ship, of course it is not possible There are boats and helicopters. So, should I also drift in the sea in a lifeboat? If I were also drifting in the sea in a lifeboat, then my chances of finding Mr. and Mrs. Luo would be zero! Of course I shouldn't be that stupid, so what else can I do? The captain is urging me again. I asked him: Can this cargo ship stop somewhere nearby? The captain quickly shook his head: absolutely impossible, that is absolutely impossible, we must sail directly to Timor Island within the stipulated time. I said coldly: What if there is an accident on the way? The captain also replied honestly: If the ship is in danger, it will be different, because this will make the ship never reach the destination, and the ship is too old to be in danger. I sighed, there was really no other way, I had to gamble on my luck.I can conclude that Luo Zhixun and his wife got rid of me, got off the lifeboat, and drifted at sea. They didn't want to stop being rescued. They planned to get out of the lifeboat. Maybe they brought rescue equipment. Then, the possibility of their rescue is very high. Since they chose a cargo ship to go to Timor Island, they may still go to Timor Island after they are rescued. I can wait for them on that island. Of course, this series is all my assumptions.As long as one of these assumptions is not true, then I have no chance to see them again. I said that I want to gamble with luck, which means that under the current situation, I must act as if my assumptions are completely true! I said to the captain: Well, my request is very simple, I want to live on the boat, and I must be treated well, and when the boat arrives at the destination, you must cover me to go ashore. The captain thought for a while: You promise not to implicate me? I said: Of course, what else can I use to implicate you? The captain nodded: "Then, don't cause trouble on board, it's best not to come into contact with the sailors." I put away the pistol and said: I can do it, I hope you don't play tricks, because when I get off the boat, I will threaten you with a gun point, and I won't give you a chance to harm me. After I finished speaking, I withdrew to the room occupied by Luo Zhixun and his wife, and fell down on the bed. I felt a splitting headache, and I forced myself to hug my head tightly to feel better. The next twenty-odd days of voyage can be said to be the most boring time in my life. I borrowed a radio and listened to the news every day, hoping to get some news about Luo Zhixun. Because if the two of them were discovered and their identities were known, it would definitely be big news that shocked the world. However, I couldn't get any news, and I was bored in this cabin almost every day. The boat has finally arrived at its destination! I believe that if I arrive a few days later, I may be driven crazy by this boring day. After completing the entry procedures, the captain and I disembarked together. The captain is an acquaintance on Timor Island, and the Portuguese officials are very familiar with him. The captain knows that my purpose is just to leave, not to harm him, so he is also very calm. When he took me to a place where Chinese people lived and I was sure he didn't want to harm me, I returned the pistol to him. He quickly turned and left, and I walked into a Chinese restaurant. The waiters in the restaurant are all Chinese. When I mentioned that I had some US dollars and wanted to exchange them for some local currency, and would rather suffer a little loss, they were all very interested. I exchanged a considerable amount of banknotes. It is better than this delicious Chinese food to cook it with eyes closed. I stayed in a mid-level hotel at the end of the street. I have arrived in Timor Island, and I am about to start work: I quickly met a dozen or so teenagers who are wandering in the streets and doing nothing. I promised them to inquire about the whereabouts of a Chinese couple for a certain price. Of course, I described the appearance of the Luo Zhisun couple to them, and at the same time, I asked them to keep an eye on the Chinese people coming up from the docks day and night. My work developed very fast. In less than three days, there were as many as 146 homeless teenagers working for me, but I didn't get any news. I sent another telegram to Mr. Huang, telling him that I had arrived in Timor Island, and asked him to send me a sum of money first. The money reached the local bank the next day. I myself go out every day to find out the whereabouts of Luo Zhixun and his wife.Timor Island is a very wonderful place. I don’t need to spend too much time to describe it. In short, it is a strange place where the old and the new are intertwined, and heaven and hell alternate. It is a colony of Portugal. Criminals will be sent here to do hard work, but it also has its prosperous and beautiful side. On the beach, overlooking the South Pacific Ocean, letting the sea water roll with white shells and drown your feet, the mood is not much different from vacationing in the Gulf of Hawaii. I have been waiting for half a month, and I am almost desperate. At dusk that day, I was sitting on the beach as usual, when I suddenly saw two homeless teenagers running towards me. Out of breath, they rushed to me and shouted: Sir, sir, we believe, we believe Get that bonus! Whoever finds out the whereabouts of Luo Zhixun and his wife will get a large reward from me. This is a promise I made to them. When I heard them say this, I was very excited. I hurriedly said: You found this person, where is it? They all said in unison: On Mr Poggin's yacht! Although my stay on Timor Island was not long, only half a month or so, I knew Mr. Poggin from the second day I arrived. He is a very powerful and rich man on the island, so I could not help being stunned when I heard these two teenagers say this, and asked: Did you recognize the wrong person? The two of them rushed again and said: No, we still know how these two people got here! I hurriedly asked: how did they come here? The two teenagers were very proud: the people on the pier said that they were drifting in the sea and were rescued by a ship. They had telegraphed Mr. Poggin on board, and Mr. Poggin was driving the yacht himself to take the They got it back, sir, we might get that money? I've got the money out of the bag: of course. I handed the money into the hands of the two of them, and they were overjoyed, and added: When we came, Mr. Poggin's yacht had docked, and we were probably going to Mr. Poggin's house. Sir, you know Mr. Poggin Where is the Paradise Garden? In Mr. Poggin's garden, there are ten extremely rare birds of paradise. Therefore, the place where he lives is called Paradise Garden, which is known to everyone on the island.
