Chapter 10 Section 9 Water Grasshopper

Wang Chenfei said: "You just asked me why there is such a saying about coffin temples. Now I can tell you that there must be strange things on the islands with coffin temples. Because no one will sail with building materials on purpose. As long as they see this kind of temple, then Someone must have come back to build it again, and they had only one purpose in doing so, hoping that what happened this time would not continue to appear in the next voyage, so you should know that this island is not a peaceful island.” I said, "Actually, I already knew." After all, I told Wang Chenfei everything that I overheard Zhao Biancheng and the others, and he frowned after hearing this, "Sure enough, Xiao Zou, it seems that we are on a thief ship this time, but you know that Meng Yang Is this bastard's real intention to trick us into going to the island?"

I shook my head and said, "If only I knew, he hasn't revealed any flaws until now." Wang Chenfei frowned and thought for a long time before saying: "It seems that only the two of us have the same heart, and the rest are wolves." I said: "Then what to do, don't lose your life without getting the money, it's not worth the loss." Wang Chenfei sighed and said: "Be careful about everything. We can only blame ourselves for being too hasty. We shouldn't be so serious about money. Forget it, it's useless to say these things now, please God bless you."

At present, the weakest of the three groups of people are me and Wang Chenfei, a small boss, an intellectual who is still old, basically powerless, and besides, we are not chickens, maybe we are all wolves. , If something really happens, it's basically waiting for death.Thinking of this, I began to regret my rash decision. Back on the island, the scenery here is really too open. It is just a section of slope that is not too steep. The location of the temple is the commanding height of the terrain, but there is nothing from top to bottom, left to right, except for people. Unexpectedly, there is a natural cave under the slope.

On the way back, I always felt that something was wrong on the ground, but I couldn't remember what was wrong for a while.Suddenly the sea breeze gradually increased, and a foul smell was faintly smelled.This is also normal, after all, it is on an island, so there are some dead fish and shrimps. Wang Chenfei frowned and said, "Go back quickly, it's probably going to rain heavily." Before he finished speaking, a thunderbolt flashed across the sky, and then there was a thunderous explosion. The thunder here was no worse than that in the city, it was earth-shattering.I don't know if it's because there is no shelter, the sound transmission effect is too good, or there are other factors. In short, I was so fried that I almost didn't sit on the ground.Wang Chenfei took my hand and said: "Go back quickly, if there is a big storm here, we will be swept away."

Strange to say, when we entered the cave, the stench disappeared, as if it knew that there were people living in it, and it was embarrassed to come in.When it was time for dinner, Jasmine had already set the table and chopsticks, calling us one by one to eat. Jasmine is the name we gave to the stowaway woman.Since Meng Yang left her here to take care of our daily diet, this girl seems to be a different person, cheerful and lively.Because of the language barrier, we don't know what happened to her that day, why she was the only one in that boat, but because she likes to sing the song "Jasmine Flower", we all call her Jasmine Flower.

The torrential rain outside during the meal turned the entrance of our cave into a water curtain cave.Meng Yangdao: "At this time, I am especially worried about those people who are still running at sea. No job is as risky as a sailor's job." He said this to a man named Xibo. It is said that this man is Meng Yang's personal bodyguard, and he is very trusted by him. No matter where Meng Yang goes, he will take him with him. From this point of view, Mr. Meng may not be a good person. Otherwise, there is no need for bodyguards to bring them so frequently. Xibo is the kind of person with particularly resolute facial features and a particularly serious expression. He seems to always grit his teeth and say: "This rain is not too small. It is really difficult for ordinary boats."

As soon as he finished speaking, I saw the waves outside the cave covering the sky from west to east with a bang, and I said, "Isn't there a wind blowing, or else there would be such high waves?" As soon as the words were finished, only the sound of huge waves hitting the rocks outside the cave was heard one after another, and the booming sound was endless.My calves cramp just thinking about the sight outside. Zhao Biancheng said gloatingly: "Mr. Meng's boat just returned from here yesterday, and this storm is inevitable." Meng Yang said: "My ship has experienced strong winds and waves long ago. What is this? I have encountered hurricanes at sea. Boss Zou, have you ever encountered storms and waves when you do underwater engineering?"

I said: "All I have undertaken so far are underwater operations in small natural lakes. Let alone the sea, I have never been in a river." Meng Yang said: "Then your legs will be weak when you see this scene." After saying this, several people from Giant Whale Equipment laughed, and I said with enthusiasm: "I'm not timid enough to make people laugh. Aren't those who are afraid of wind and waves just afraid of death? I don't believe it." Some people are not afraid of death." Xi Bo said: "That's a good saying, no one is not afraid of death, but to say that someone ridiculed you is an act of anger, if this kind of turmoil is seen at first glance, it will definitely break your heart, if you don't believe me, you can try it."

This time I didn't eat steamed buns to fight for breath, and said loudly: "How do you try?" At this time, Wang Chenfei smoothed things over and said: "I said you young people can just talk about it, don't really make yourself unhappy." I said: "It's okay, I just want to see if I'm really as useless as he said." Meng Yang said: "I agree with Xiao Zou to give it a try. It's really not a big deal. Even if it's a leisure and entertainment project, I'm one of them." Everyone in the Giant Whale facility applauded and did what they said. The three of us left the dining table and walked towards the entrance of the cave. The oncoming wind did not have that fishy smell.

I was really surprised when I arrived at the entrance of the cave, because the sea outside was really crazy. I saw the overwhelming sea water slapping around the island, and the sea water splashed on the reef was scattered like fireworks in an instant. It was all white foam. Although it didn't have that stench, the smell was so strong that I almost vomited again. Meng Yang smiled and said to me: "How about brother, you are not afraid?" His face was turned to me, but my eyes passed over his ear and saw a very strange sight.Now I was really scared, because I saw two dim lights flashing strangely on the boiling sea in the distance. I couldn't tell how big they were, but judging from the distance between us, they were definitely not small.I don't know why, but I think it's two eyes, a pair of huge eyes staring at me, and the pair of miserable yellow lights don't move at all in the strong wind and waves, which obviously doesn't conform to common sense.

Thinking of this made me feel cold, and I retreated.Because Meng Yang and Xi Bai both turned their backs to that side, they didn't see anything. Meng Yang didn't say anything, Xi Bai laughed and said, "Boss Zou, I didn't scare you. When there is rain on the sea, there must be wind. What you saw It’s just a trivial matter, if the scene of the storm and the huge waves is even more exciting than this, the old navigator would not dare to watch it.” I took a deep breath and didn't speak. I didn't want to eat anymore when I sat down at the dinner table, and just stood there in a daze.Seeing this, Jasmine served me a bowl of hot soup, and I drank it all in one gulp, then sat at the dining table in a daze. No one paid any attention to me, they chatted until the end of the dinner.When I was sleeping at night, Wang Chenfei walked to the cave where I lived and asked softly, "What did you see?" I was taken aback and said, "How do you know?" Wang Chenfei said: "Can you be so scared if you don't see anything? When you came back, your face was blue. It can't be just because of the wind and waves." I nodded and sighed: "Yes, I seem to see a pair of eyes, but if they are really eyes, they are a bit too big." Wang Chenfei thought for a while and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you don't know the true intentions of these people." I said: "I won't talk nonsense, and maybe no one will believe me if I say it." After I fell asleep at night, I had a strange dream. I dreamed that I was driving some kind of water vehicle at high speed in the vast blue sea. I couldn't tell what I wanted to do, just keep moving forward.Under the bright sunshine, the sea water is not as turbid as here. I moved forward rapidly. There are no traffic lights and no other cars blocking the way. I can maximize my forward speed, and I did.The rapid forward movement caused my eyes to be blown hard by the wind, but I managed to open them a little and looked forward. I don’t know how long it took, and suddenly, as far as I could see, a piece of sea water rose into the sky with a bang, and an unidentifiable thing suddenly burst out of the water, green and miserable like a pillar, and then " "Pillar" smashed into the water with a bang, and the water column shot up into the sky. I sat up unexpectedly, only to find that I was in a dark cave. It seemed that I was awakened by a dream, and I only felt that I was covered in cold sweat.But it's strange to say that I don't seem to be scared, and I seldom remember my dreams, but this time I don't know why, but I remember it very clearly, as if I just experienced it. The storm lasted for two full days. If it was in the city, it would probably be flooded, but there is no problem here.After dinner on the third night, I lay on the bed with my eyes open and couldn't fall asleep as usual, because I really regretted my hasty behavior and had some insomnia for the past two days. I don't know what time it was in the middle of the night, but I vaguely heard a chorus of grasshoppers, which surprised me quite a bit. I sat up from the bed, and after listening carefully, it was indeed the chorus of grasshoppers, and they were very regular. Two or three beeps, pause for a few seconds, and then continue, repeating itself continuously. There are grasshoppers in the sea?Could it be that someone brought the grasshopper here, but I'm sure I haven't seen anyone playing with the grasshopper here. Everyone brought by Meng Yang has his own business and is extremely busy every day.The four people in Zhao Biancheng seem to be around Meng Yang or the people in the giant whale equipment all day long. Any fool can see that they are monitoring Meng Yang and his men.It is even more impossible for Wang Chenfei, he doesn't seem to be interested in anything, if this kind of person knows how to play grasshoppers, then he will be hell. But this burst of grasshopper calls is indeed very clear, and I will never hear it wrong.Out of curiosity, I got up and got out of bed, but I live on the second floor, and I need to go down the iron stairs to distinguish carefully. I found that the grasshopper is not inside the cave, but outside the cave.Because I saw those two weird lights, I didn't dare to go out of the cave these days, because I really didn't dare to face the turbid sea water, and I thought there must be something under the water. However, this strange call of the grasshopper really aroused my curiosity. I walked to the entrance of the cave boldly. After thinking about it, I still didn't dare to go out. I just looked outside.In the dark night of Huangquanyan, you can't see your fingers, and you can't see anything except the darkness, so although the grasshoppers are very attractive to me, I finally choose to go back to sleep. When I went up the stairs absent-mindedly and just turned the corner, I bumped into someone. It was also dark in the cave. I didn't know who this person was, but it scared me half to death.Hearing the crisp sound of the iron lighter, Meng Yang's face appeared out of nowhere in the night. After lighting the cigarette, Meng Yang extinguished the lighter. In the dark, I heard the sound of him inhaling, followed by a thick puff of cigarette taste.But he didn't speak, and I didn't speak either. I walked around him and went back to my "room" to lie on the bed. This time I fell asleep not long after.
