Abyss

Xingzhi Island is clearly an uninhabited island, located in the sea to the southwest of Hainan Island.The island has a typical tropical rainforest climate, and the flowers, plants and trees grow very tall without pruning.Linqian and Jiang Xuanye were lucky to catch the only boat that came to the island every day.

"What are you doing there? There are almost no people on the island, and the scenery is not very good." The master who sailed the boat was a little curious about the two young people from the mainland.

"There is no one on this island, why do you come here every day?" Lin Qian asked back.

"There is a weather station on this island, and there are several government officials on duty. They need fresh water and food. I will take this job and earn a living."

Lin Qian and Jiang Xuanye looked at each other, and felt that they should be in the right place.

"I don't know if those government officials are from the north. They can eat very well. Obviously, there are only two or three people on duty. At most, there are no more than five people. Today is a small number. The food and drink sent before is enough for everyone. I still have enough to eat." The master who sailed the boat complained.He is short and thin, with dark skin. When he opens his mouth and smiles, he will show a row of teeth yellowed by smoking.

Lin Qian asked, "Is it all your own food?"

"Yeah, I planted them all by myself. You stand firm and are about to land."

There is no port on this small island, and the boat stopped near the shore.The master who sailed the boat lowered a small rubber boat from the boat, Yu, Xi, Tuan, Team, Du, Jia.Then hoist the fresh water food rope to the small boat, and finally go down and push the rubber boat ashore.Linqian and Jiang Xuanye didn't know how he usually had the patience to complete these steps one by one, but now he just helped out. The master Lian Sheng thanked him, saying that young people from big cities are polite.

The moment I got off the boat and dived, I felt that my body was wrapped in a layer of sweat, as if I had packed myself in a plastic bag close to the body, which was very uncomfortable.Looking at Jiang Xuanye again, he couldn't stand the high temperature and took off his windbreaker jacket, only wearing jeans and a pink shirt.

"Shave your head before you go out." Jiang Xuanye complained.

Linqian ignored him, and turned to the master and said, "It shouldn't be far away, right? Let's send it there for you."

The master who sailed the boat originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that the two of them had nothing on them and really needed a place to spend the night here, he replied, "Okay, then thank you, and it just so happens that you also get to know the people who work on the island. Just look for them for anything, I will go back in a while. It might be windy and rainy on this island at any time."

Linqian and Jiang Xuanye helped push things to the weather station. Jiang Xuanye felt so hot that he simply took off his shirt to reveal his muscular upper body. This desert island is full of primitive wildness.

"You'll burn your skin like this," Lin Qian said.

"If you get sunburned, just get sunburned, it's too fucking hot! If I didn't go to the weather station, I would have taken off my pants." Jiang Xuanye said.

The island is very small, and I probably looked around on the road, and what I saw on the boat, it can basically be judged that it is the size of two to three football fields; like most islands, the terrain here is high in the middle and low on the four sides, from It is difficult to see from one side of the island to the other.There were broken branches everywhere on the island, and there were even tall trees that were broken in the middle. It seemed that the wind and rain were really heavy before they came.

Although the sand is not easy to walk, it still took only ten minutes to reach the weather station.Jiang Xuanye was a little disappointed at first glance, he thought it was a building full of technology, but it turned out to be just a two-story building with a weather vane and a rainwater collector on it.The walls are very thin, which is quite tropical, but it always makes people feel precarious.

Linqian and Jiang Xuanye followed into the house. There were two people inside, an old man and a young man. They didn't wear uniforms, but only wore their own T-shirt and shorts. Their hair was messy and their faces didn't seem to have been washed. They probably hadn't seen each other for a long time on the island. If there are no other people, the two big men don't have to clean up.

"These two came from the north to play." The master who sailed the boat introduced.

"Hello, you have worked hard!" Lin Qian smiled and shook hands with the two, but secretly looked around the room.There are three rooms on this floor, which are storage room, kitchen and bedroom, and what they are in now is the bedroom.There are only two simple fold-out single beds in this bedroom.

"It's not hard work, it's work!" The slightly older weatherman said with a smile, and was very friendly to the two "passengers".But the young one's complexion is not very good, a little lack of energy, it seems that he didn't sleep well, "You can stay with us at night, there is another bed upstairs, it is slightly bigger than these two, and it can sleep even if it is squeezed. There's no other place to live on this island."

Lin Qian smiled and said, "That's great, let's go out first, there may be a lot of trouble at night."

The two of them came out with the sailing master, said goodbye to him, and watched his dark and thin figure go farther and farther under the shadow of tall trees.The setting sun slanted over from the end of the other side of the island, glowing with gentle golden red, full and peaceful.Linqian couldn't help sighing in his heart, this is really a beautiful golden age, although the world is not yet unified, but at least most people live a stable life.

Jiang Xuanye complained, "Can't we come out later? It's still very hot."

Lin Qian threw Jiang Xuanye's shirt in his hand to him and said, "There are no lights on this island, if you come out later, you won't be able to see anything."

"How could there be no lights, there are lights wherever there are people." Jiang Xuanye put on his clothes.

An idea flashed in Linqian's mind - Jiang Xuanye was right, this island is so desolate, it is really not easy to find someone, but as long as there is someone, there will be some light no matter what at night, and then look for someone. Isn't it easy?

In order not to reveal his purpose, Linqian did not go back to the weather station, but took Jiang Xuanye to find a relatively cool place to lie down and watch the sunset.He has lived in the city for more than [-] years, and it is the first time to watch the sunset like this comfortably.For the first time, he felt that time could pass so slowly, as if he was back in elementary school when he finished his homework and waited for school to be over.

After sunset, it took a long time before the sky gradually darkened. Since the longitude position is further west, the sunset time is much later than that in Shenyang.Linqian and Jiang Xuanye were going to walk around the island, because the surrounding terrain was low, and only by walking a complete circle could they see clearly where there was light on the entire island.

It rained so much just now, and now there is not even a cloud in the sky. The bright moon hangs over the sea, and the clear brilliance sprinkled on the sea surface is like broken silver jumping with the waves.The surroundings are silent, except for the slow sound of the waves, only the occasional bird song or two.Lin Qian watched carefully for any suspicious places in the dense forest, and at the same time thought in his heart, if he was free one day, he must come here for a vacation, it was really relaxing.

Jiang Xuanye didn't have any worries, he concentrated on searching.He was hired by Linqian, 300 yuan a day, which they negotiated on the road, because Jiang Xuanye kept complaining that he would wear doll costumes for cake shops, distribute flyers, and help high school students line up The work of buying shoes and so on, all went to waste in this way.Lin Qian was really cocooned by the nagging ears and had to hire him at a high price.In fact, Linqian doesn't earn much by himself, and there is basically nothing left for daily expenses, especially for car maintenance. It's just that Lin Qiubai will send a sum of money to subsidize him every month, and his life will be nourished.

The two of them walked relatively silently, until there was a loud sound of hitting the water surface from the sea, which attracted the eyes of those who were diving from the dark forest on the island to the sea surface as bright as day under the moonlight.I don't know what jumped out of the water and plunged into the sea. Before diving, I only saw a little splash, thinking it was a whale.But a tiny light on the sea caught his eyes.

"Lighthouse?" Linqian didn't expect to see a lighthouse on the sea not far away.He doesn't even know whether the current fishing boats still need the guidance of a lighthouse, or whether it only exists in elementary school textbooks.

At this time, they had already walked to the other side of the island, next to the Pacific Ocean, in front of them was a sea that spanned dozens of longitudes, sparkling.

Hearing Lin Qian's question, Jiang Xuanye looked in the direction of his gaze, and indeed saw the lonely lighthouse under the silver-gray moonlight.This lighthouse is about 60 meters high. The body of the tower is a simple big stone, and the top of the tower is transparent. The light on the sea comes from here.But if you look carefully, you will find that there are a few small windows on the tower. It should be a guarded lighthouse, but why doesn't even the resident weatherman on the island know that there are people here?

Linqian also sent a letter saying that among the few small windows, the lowest one is obviously different from the others, it is very bright off-white, it looks like it should be newly replaced.

"That's it." Lin Qian said, "If it goes well, we will climb to the top next, a great moment."

"That means there is still a possibility that it will not go well?" Jiang Xuanye asked.

"If it doesn't go well, we will be stopped by a wave of people, and we will even be shot in the head after three warnings."

"Is it really that serious? We are not smuggling."

"Who knows, anyway, it is impossible for us to be greeted with mineral water from the refrigerator. You can see Yang Cuo's frenzied appearance, and you should have thought about what kind of secret this is."

Jiang Xuanye thought for a while, then nodded, "Well, that makes sense." He took off his shirt as he spoke.

"What are you doing, are you preparing for a gang fight? This is more imposing?" Linqian said.

"No," Jiang Xuanye covered his head with the collar of his clothes, and the two sleeves were wrapped around his head and back from his face, and tied a knot at the back of his head, "Stop it, if you are discovered, at least not I will notify my dad as soon as possible."

The two took advantage of the night to touch the lighthouse.The lighthouse was in the sea, but Jiang Xuanye couldn't swim, so he dragged him to the side of the lighthouse.There is a five-meter-square pedestal under the lighthouse, and it took a lot of strength for them to climb up the pedestal.There is a small door on the northeast side of the lighthouse. Linqian gently pulled it with his hand, but found that the door was not locked.He made a "shh" gesture to Jiang Xuanye who was following behind, and then got into the door.

Unexpectedly, sneaking in was so smooth, Linqian felt that the people here seemed to have relaxed their vigilance for some reason, which gave him an opportunity.He originally thought that Yang Cuo would contact here immediately to ask them to strengthen their vigilance, but now it seems that the communication facilities here were really damaged in the typhoon and have not yet been restored.Moreover, since it is something that only a small number of people know, it is reasonable that they cannot be contacted through other means.

There is no lighting equipment inside the lighthouse, and I don't know if it is to save electricity. After entering, there is a spiral staircase.The two climbed up in the dark and walked for about 3 minutes. They passed the first door. The door was locked and dust had accumulated on the handle. There were lights in the windows, so I had to look for them one by one.

When they climbed to the second door, their breathing quickened a bit, and Lin Qian gently pushed open the second door, not expecting that the lights inside were brightly lit; a young man in a black training uniform turned around vigilantly, and shouted "" Who!" At the same time, he ran towards Linqian.Behind him, there were three or four men wearing the same clothes. Their hands were stretched towards their waists. There was a small pocket for equipment. Judging from the shape, it should be a pouch.

"Run! Go up!" Lin Qian shouted as he pushed Jiang Xuanye.
