woman and sea

Recently, the police in Dalian are following the example of Wuhan in those days, doing all kinds of "digging all over the city" like groundhogs.

For a while, we have dug up the "No.18 Line" of the subway, which is one more than in Beijing, and there is still a great momentum to continue digging to the "No.20 Line".

So the road is very congested.

Yang Fan and Li Yuanhang stopped and stopped on the road for nearly an hour before they were able to escape.

It was already noon when we arrived at the venue of the exhibition hall.

Seeing that the empty city plan was coming soon, Yang Fan had no choice but to endure the urgency of wanting to see the nautical exhibition, and proposed to solve the problem of food and clothing first.

After discussing with Li Yuanhang, Yang Fan drove to a nearby restaurant that looked quite stylish——DOSNEY Western Restaurant.

Where did the name come from...

Don't really "poison you to death"...

In order to express his gratitude for "the selfless help he has received from Comrade Li Yuanhang all the time" - anyway, that's what Yang Fan told him, this meal is still hosted by Yang Fan.

She still ordered three sets of the same "Bull Demon King" luxury steak set - two well-done and one medium-rare - the third-rare was Yang Fan's, and the remaining two were all from Li Yuanhang.

When the waiter heard Yang Fan say "three maturity", he was stunned for a moment, thinking that he heard it wrong, and carefully confirmed it.

Li Yuanhang, on the other hand, showed his calmness as always.

Because he's already used to it.

Even so, it was his little brother Li Yuanhang who caused Yang Fan to be infected with such a heavy taste.

Because his unrequited help made Yang Fan feel sorry, so Yang Fan proposed to treat him to a light meal when the two of them got along well enough that there was no such thing as politeness or impoliteness.

After Li Yuanhang refused in every possible way, he saw that he was disrespectful, so he tactfully accepted it.So the little daughter-in-law twitched and suggested, "Why don't we... let's go eat steak?..."

Li Yuanhang, who was born in Shangougou, a poor village in the western region, had never eaten steak before, and he couldn't even eat beef once or half a year.

In fact, that was Yang Fan's first time eating steak.

Ordinarily, with Yang Fan's family background, he shouldn't have eaten such mid-range restaurants.

However, because Yang Fan’s pocket money from childhood to adulthood has been used by her to buy game discs, buy albums, and watch concerts, chasing those "800 million gods" in her mind, so counting the income from part-time jobs after school, it is also Just enough to ensure that there will be no fiscal deficit—

Anyway, when they ate steak for the first time, both of them asked for it to be well done.After the steak was served, Yang Fan took a bite and chewed it. It felt like eating old leather shoes, so he gave the rest to Li Yuanhang, and then ate the cake by himself.

At this time, Li Yuanhang said jokingly: "Hero Yang, someone at the opposite table is eating four-ripe ones, why don't you try it too?"

Of course!back! ——

Yang Fan really ordered another four-ripe one.

Not only is it a bit troublesome to cut, but it also looks bloody when it is cut, making people almost feel full just by looking at it.

Yang Fan, on the other hand, felt good after chewing a mouthful, but he still thought he was "old".

So, when the two of them ate together again, Yang Fan still invited Li Yuanhang to eat steak.

That time, what she wanted was the third-ripe one. After chewing a mouthful, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she exclaimed that it was delicious as if she had discovered a new world. She also said that the taste was like eating Flammulina velutipes, especially chewy.

Then, she was out of control.

From then on, every time Yang Fan invited Li Yuanhang to dinner, he would eat steak, and every time he ate steak, he would order a medium-rare steak for himself.

So to this day.

After finishing their meal like a storm, the two went straight to the exhibition hall.

Perhaps it is because the nautical exhibition is not very attractive to everyone, at least not as big as the stars who came to the concert, so although there are many people in this coastal city who come to the exhibition hall to see the exhibition related to nautical, they are not as expected many.

And looking around, most of them are still students who are wearing the pure white sailor uniforms of Maritime University and Ocean Academy.

Of course, it may also be an illusion caused by their conspicuous clothes.

"I said why no one comes here...Maybe it's because the tickets are too expensive..."

After Yang Fan paid the money, he stretched out his arms towards Li Yuanhang who was still in line, with his palms drooping down, he gently pinched the ticket with his thumb and middle finger, showing his ticket like a wilted orchid finger.

"I'm also drunk. It's just a fucking exhibition. The full price is 80 yuan, and the student ticket is [-] yuan... It's okay if no one is rare. What can I do with this [-] yuan?!  … Seriously... I can buy a large pot of spicy hot pot with all meat dishes!"

In order to prevent the cash-strapped Li Yuanhang from swollen his face to make himself fat and showing "a man's self-consciousness" and paying for a ticket for himself, Yang Fan made the parking "difficult" on the grounds that "he just got his driver's license and his reversing skills are not good enough". The task was left to Li Yuanhang.

Of course, in order to prevent him from thinking too much, Yang Fan didn't buy him a ticket without any hassle.

If you invite someone to dinner, you still have a reason. If you buy tickets for someone else, then you are really getting out of nowhere.

"Oh... hiss... It turns out that the students of Haida and Yuanyang only need [-] yuan with their school uniform or student ID card... Really, if I knew it, I would have let you out in that regular uniform..."

Afterwards, Li Yuanhang, who came and bought the ticket, patted his forehead in frustration and walked towards Yang Fan.

"Brother, dear...I'm a woman, okay!..."

Yang Fan rolled his eyes contemptuously, and slandered him with resentment in his heart: Tsk... this old man... really didn't treat my old lady like a flower or a jade...

After the slander, Yang Fan said again: "Really... Sitting in class, it is true that you can tell if I am male or female from a distance, but you can't tell the truth from a close look? I don't have an Adam's apple... "

"Well...that's actually..." Li Yuanhang nodded, habitually put his arms around Yang Fan's shoulders, and asked leisurely, "Hey, I said, Hero Yang, did you wear skirts when you had long hair? ?”

"Well, I wore it once when the Young Pioneers joined the team. But because that kind of thing is light on my body, it looks like I'm bare, so I didn't wear it again afterwards." Yang Fan looked indifferently Xian replied, she didn't feel shy and blushing just because Li Yuanhang took her shoulders.

"Uh... oh..." Li Yuanhang scratched his head with a dry smile, his face darkened.

After entering the "International Convention and Exhibition Center", every time he went to an exhibition area, Yang Fan would inevitably pester the lecturer to ask questions.

After looking at all the modern equipment downstairs, when he came to the third floor, Yang Fan's notebook was already full of more than ten pages of notes, and there were countless photos stored in his mobile phone. .

At this time, Yang Fan was full of emotion and praise like "tsk tsk, this trip is really worthwhile!"

She seems to have forgotten the complaints that she said earlier, "No one gets it too often".

Li Yuanhang just shook his head helplessly, and silently accompanied her, smiling without saying a word.

From the chats of the visitors who left one after another, we know that the further you go in, the fewer people there are.

Because the deeper you go, the older things are on display.Some have even become unrecognizable due to years of sleeping at the bottom of the sea.So it doesn't seem to matter much.Therefore, those who are willing to watch it patiently can definitely be regarded as true sailing fans.

Walking from one exhibition area to another, the noise around the two became weaker.

It seems that there are too few people who are interested in these ancient things. In the first exhibition hall on the third floor, there are two guides in one exhibition area. There was only one lecturer left in the exhibition hall. If Yang Fan hadn't leaned over to ask questions, that lady would still be leaning against the wall trimming her nails.

As a result, when I came to the last exhibition hall, none of the guides said anything, and I didn't even see a single person who came to wander around.

In the huge exhibition hall, there is nothing but lifeless and worthless old antiques.

This made Yang Fan hesitate for a while at the door whether to go in or not.

But in the end, the two went in.

As a pseudo-senior sailing fan, it is impossible for Yang Fan to miss anything related to sailing.

Finally, the placement of objects in this exhibition hall is not as careful as those in the previous exhibition halls.

Perhaps the organizers also expected that not many people would be interested in these things, so they cut corners a little.If it weren't for the fence covered with wine-red flannelette to separate those things in the house to remind everyone not to go in and touch them, then people who come here seem to be more willing to believe that this place is a pile of broken copper and iron. between.

Because there were so few visitors in this exhibition hall, the organizer turned off most of the lights in order to save electricity, making this empty exhibition hall very dim.

Entering here is like coming to another world.

And it's a dead world.

——Suddenly, Yang Fan felt goosebumps all over his body for no reason.

Seeing that there was nothing interesting, Yang Fan just wandered around like a revolving lantern.

Just when she was about to lift her foot to leave, her eyes were suddenly attracted by a pile of rotten wood of different lengths and thicknesses in the corner.

She involuntarily approached it, then bowed over the fence and squatted beside the pile of "rotten wood".Then, holding his arm and resting his chin on one hand, he looked at them thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Li Yuanhang quickly scanned his surroundings.

After discovering that no staff were there, he even ducked in.

After arching in with a short body, Li Yuanhang squatted beside Yang Fan, frowned and looked at Yang Fan carefully, guessing what the hell this hero was up to.

"SHIT... What kind of crap are these? A pile of rotten wood can be used to make up for it? Do you think this exhibition hall is too spacious, and use this to add to people's troubles?..."

Yang Fan casually grabbed a piece of wood in front of him and weighed it.

This action seemed familiar to Li Yuanhang.

Before Yang Fan picks up stones at the beach and throws them in the water, he must do this first, so as to accumulate energy for the stones in his hand.

"Hey, hey, hey! Yang Daxia! You...you can put it down quickly....you can mess around with things in other people's exhibitions? Who will be responsible for breaking them? Are you afraid of being punished and going back naked? ..."

Li Yuanhang was frightened, and quickly cut off the piece of rotten wood from Yang Fan's hand.Then, he added thoughtfully, "Well... well... it looks like a wreck of a mast or something—the pile over there should be a broken keel."

As Li Yuanhang said, he pointed to the piles of rotten wood piles not far away that were as thick as a person's waist.

They were piled up on the ground randomly like a pile of rags——

In any case, this is a desecration of the ship that these "woods" served, and the history that ship either experienced or created.

Yang Fan gave a slight "hmm" with doubts.So he turned to look at Li Yuanhang, expecting him to continue talking.

"Hey, look, although they are deformed, it can still be seen that they have been processed. But it seems that they have been buried in the sand for a long time, and a lot of sand has entered the cracked places. .”

"This section... should be the 'mainmast', right?" Yang Fan carefully lifted the thickest round wooden stake with both hands, and muttered, "Emma, ​​it's quite heavy..."

Such a piece of round wooden stake must have weighed at least fifty or sixty kilograms, and Yang Fan lifted it up effortlessly, which made Li Yuanhang really don't know how to complain.

"Hmm...yes.—Hey!!—Didn't I just tell you not to move around?! What if I ask someone in charge to see it?!" Li Yuanhang was startled again, and hurriedly urged Yang Fan put things down.

And Yang Fan did listen to Li Yuanhang's words, and quickly put down the piece of rotten wood.

——But it fell to the ground in the form of "free fall" when Li Yuanhang stared wide-eyed and opened his mouth wide in horror.

"Bang—"

Yang Fan's explanation for this is: Anyway, no one sees it, and doing bad things where others can't see it is not a bad thing.

"Echo will betray you..." Li Yuanhang scolded Yang Fan in a displeased manner, and hurriedly grabbed her wrist and slipped away, fearing that he would be caught and fined in the next second.

"Um?……"

After getting out of the fence, he let go of Yang Fan's wrist. Suddenly, Li Yuanhang frowned as if he had discovered something unbelievable, staring at Yang Fan's face.

Yang Fan was a little hairy under his stare, frowned and said, "What? Is there a mosquito on my face?"

As he spoke, Yang Fan slapped himself on the face.

The echo reverberated in the empty exhibition hall, but it was really a bit like the buzzing of mosquitoes flying.

"No, look there..."

Li Yuanhang pointed out his hand in a daze, motioning Yang Fan to look behind him, and muttered in a muffled voice, "Look at that piece of wood, why does it seem to be glowing?...Could it be my eyesight?..."

Yang Fan looked back suspiciously, and it turned out that the wood was bald.

It was the big wooden stake she fell to the ground just now.

At this time, there is light coming out from the crack at one end.

"May you inherit my obsession—"

"In that vast ocean—"

"Writing belongs to your glory—"

In the empty exhibition hall, there was an unreal echo.

It was a woman's voice.

Flying, and distant.

Yang Fan was startled, and inexplicably got goosebumps all over his body.

Then, Yang Fan stopped and looked around in surprise, trying to find the source of the voice.

——"Don't be... haunted..."

To her, it seemed that after some monster finished speaking, it quickly dragged its tail into her ears. It still sounded a little itchy, but it couldn't be scratched.

However, Li Yuanhang, who was walking in front of Yang Fan, was unmoved, and walked straight towards the rotten wood with a calm expression.

"I said...Brother Hang, you just...didn't hear anything?..."

Yang Fan walked quickly to Li Yuanhang's side, tugged at the hem of his clothes, as if afraid of disturbing something, lowered his voice, and asked tentatively.

"What sound? No—" Li Yuanhang frowned slightly, and looked at Yang Fan in a daze, "What's wrong?..."

"Oh...it's okay.——" Yang Fan pretended to be relaxed and giggled.

——"Could it be that I'm hallucinating?..."

Yang Fan speculated suspiciously in his heart.

While talking, the two stooped in one after another, and squatted beside the rotten wood.

The sharp-eyed Li Yuanhang noticed that there seemed to be a circle of fairly regular marks on the cracked wood grain, as if it had been sawn manually.He immediately told Yang Fan the guess that "there is something inside".

——"Is there... something in it?"

When Yang Fan read sailing stories before, he had heard of many "glorious" deeds of pirates hollowing out their masts to hide gold coins.

But seeing it with my own eyes, this is really the first time.

——"I don't know what treasures will be in it, but I'm really looking forward to it when I think about it."

So, Yang Fan went to pry it out of nowhere.

Due to the age, she broke off the rotten wood on the outside, but she still didn't pry it open.

Driven by curiosity, Li Yuanhang also forgot to stop.

Not only did he not stop him, but he even took out his keychain from his pocket in a mysterious manner, and took off the multifunctional Swiss Army Knife bought at a street stall from it and handed it to Yang Fan.

And Yang Fan, who was concentrating on skimming the wooden shell there, didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and angrily complained to Li Yuanhang, "Why didn't you take it out earlier", and snatched the wooden shell with his hands. The multi-function knife broke off the sharp blade, then lowered its head, holding the handle to cut wood.

Thanks to the lack of people in the exhibition hall, the two people's blatant act of destroying state property has not been discovered.

After a while, seeing that the wood was almost cut, Yang Fan screwed in the wine screwdriver attached to the multi-purpose knife, and then pried it hard.

Accompanied by a muffled sound of "Du--", a thing the size of a powder puff box bounced out of the rotten wood with the help of inertia, and landed in the arms of Li Yuanhang who was squatting next to him.

Li Yuanhang took it into his hand and opened it, it turned out to be a compass.

Inside this piece of rotten wood was not hidden gold coins or treasure maps as the two of them had guessed, but only a compass in the shape of a pocket watch.

The compass exposed to the light has no obvious light, but gives people a thick texture with metallic luster.

Yang Fan even wanted to take a bite of it to make sure if it was made of gold——

If it is, then there is no doubt that it can be sold for a good price.

Seeing that only a compass popped out of it, Yang Fan took hold of the piece of rotten wood in his hand again without giving up, and put his hand in, and wiped around the inner wall of the hollow wooden shell, Find out if there are any goodies like treasure maps that slipped through the net.

Finally, after confirming that there was indeed nothing else in the rotten wood, Yang Fan carefully placed it on the ground with some regret.

After slipping the multifunctional knife into his butt pocket, Yang Fan walked over to Li Yuanhang's side and concentrated on looking at the compass made of unknown material.

Although the compass seems to have been demagnetized due to the age, it has become useless, but its surface is not rusted at all, which makes both of them feel very strange, it is so old thing.

"I'll take a look."

Yang Fan grabbed the compass from Li Yuanhang's hand, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The tentacles are warm, but I don't know if it's warmed by Li Yuanhang's hands, or it's itself getting hot.

——"Eh? It's strange...why do I think it's heating itself?..."

Suddenly, the face of the compass moved slightly.

Yang Fan only thought it was the inertia of moving, so he didn't take it seriously.

Gradually, the North Pole on the disk suddenly and slowly pointed to Yang Fan.

Then, just as it was facing Yang Fan, it started to shake violently in the range from seven o'clock to five o'clock in just a moment.

The inexplicable shaking caused Yang Fan's arm to vibrate obviously.

Li Yuanhang on the other side just stared blankly at the compass in Yang Fan's hand as if he had lost his soul, letting it vibrate violently in Yang Fan's hand, without any intention of taking it away .

It took a while before the compass stopped shaking.

Li Yuanhang, who came to his senses belatedly, just wanted to reach out to touch it, but then, in the blink of an eye, it seemed as if the magnetic field disappeared, and the compass turned crazily, so fast that it even made people feel sick. It is impossible for people to tell whether it is a counterclockwise or a clockwise rotation.

——Yang Fan and Li Yuanhang gradually felt the tinnitus that became more and more intense.

Although they felt unwell, the two of them still stared straight at the rapidly spinning compass.

——Like two shells without souls.

The light emitted by the compass grew stronger and gradually became very dazzling.

The two slowly closed their eyes.

Now, in Yang Fan's perception, time seems to have stood still.

Her surroundings gradually darkened, and then became pitch black.In her eyes, there was nothing left, no exhibition hall, no exhibits, no Li Yuanhang—only herself standing alone in the middle, not knowing where she was going.

Her eyes were blank, she stood there blankly, except for feeling that her tinnitus had become more serious, she had no other perception.

She could see nothing but black.

She couldn't hear anything except the roar.

For a moment, there was a loud buzzing, which made her unable to stand steadily, and almost fell down.

But now she doesn't even know whether she is standing, sitting or lying down.

After an unknown period of time, gradually, the roar in Yang Fan's ears seemed to be weakening.

In the ear, calmness was slowly restored.

His eyes gradually became brighter.

——When Li Yuanhang opened his eyes again, there was no one around him.

He subconsciously rubbed his swollen and sore temples, and then looked around suspiciously.

However, he was not too surprised by his current environment, nor was he anxiously looking for something.

He just walked out of the exhibition hall with a slightly vain footstep, as if he had come here alone before.

After coming out of the International Convention and Exhibition Center, Li Yuanhang found "his" van parked in the parking lot with ease, then took out the key from his pocket to open the door, then sat in with a calm expression, started the car and drove to the school.

God, the shady scene has already fallen unknowingly...

The author has something to say: ah... so good Ji Mo...

There is no comment of ten words...
