Cheng Zijun left.
Yang Keru stood at the highest position on the island, looking at his son's figure far away, tears still couldn't stop flowing.
For some reason, her heart seemed to be taken away by someone, empty and painful again.
She stood at the highest point of the island, standing motionless for several hours until her son's back completely disappeared. Then she walked down from the top of the cliff like absent-mindedly and returned to the place where she and her son were together day and night in the past few days.
The food and water that her son prepared for her were placed next to her. She didn't even want to take a sip and lay down next to her. It was where she and her son slept these days.
She closed her eyes but didn't sleep. She was just imagining that her son was still lying beside her now, always urging her restlessly, often squeezing her position. When he slept, he always liked to grab his own hand, just like when he was a child...
Yang Keru reached out to grab it in the void...but caught nothing.
……
In the afternoon, she returned to the top of the cliff again, fearing the vicious sun at low latitudes, and continued to look at the direction of her son's departure.
Until the sun sets and night falls, she can no longer see the sea.
……
The next day, this was repeated.
……
On the third day, Yang Keru seemed to be suddenly energetic. She first had a full meal, then came to the beach naked, carefully lifting the sea water, and carefully cleaning her body. She looked very happy and hummed an unknown song in her mouth.
After cleaning, she took out the Victoria's Secret. After the baptism of sea breeze and sea water in the past few days, they were already a little broken. Fortunately, she is a fruit-powered person and can modify the age of any creature. In the blink of an eye, the underwear was restored to new things.
After dressing, Yang Keru came to the top of the cliff again, where she was waiting for her son every day. If she waited like this, she would almost become a husband-looking stone.
Yang Keru estimated the time, and the three-day deadline she had agreed with her son was about to arrive.
The blue sea water could not see at first sight, but Cheng Zijun's return was never seen.
Wait until late at night...
This time, Yang Keru did not get off the top of the cliff again. She did not eat or drink water anymore. Instead, she stood in the same place, waiting silently, and her tears had already dried up, but she was unaware of it.
……
The fourth day passed.
……
Next is the fifth day.
……
Day 6.
……
Until the seventh day, Yang Keru, who had not eaten water for many days, was on the verge of collapse at any time. She barely supported her body and walked down from the top of the cliff. Then, without a trace of expression, she began to eat, replenish water, and replenish sleep...
She began to make tools, tear the wide leaves into pieces, then knead them into fibers, braid them into ropes, and then weave them into a net, and a simple fishing net was made.
She threw the fishing net into the sea and waited quietly.
In this sea area without human intervention, there are a large number and species of fish. There are always a few lost people who accidentally break into the fishing net crafted by Yang Keru. Yang Keru uses his age ability to increase these fish. After the fishing net, the bigger fish can no longer swim out of the gaps in the fishing net. So, Yang Keru easily obtained several fat big fish.
The short Swiss army knife helped a lot. Even if it rust and became dull, Yang Keru's ability could restore it to new.
……
So, ten days passed.
……
Twenty days have passed.
……
Yang Keru is very busy every day, and she must keep herself busy so that she can not think about the things she is unwilling to face.
After her careful training, this uninhabited island looked quite good. Not only did she use vines to make a hammock and a coconut shell to make a bowl, she also learned from what she saw in survival variety shows before, built a stove with stones and dug a simple toilet.
It can be said that she did almost everything she could except not being able to leave here.
Every day she would sit on the top of the cliff. She would talk, sing, and even dance her own dance to the vast sea. She always felt that if she did this, her son could see and hear it somewhere in the sea.
Tears can't stop.
……
……
Ten years later.
A fully loaded cargo ship slowly sailed out from the Guangzhou port and headed into the depths of the blue sea.
The cargo ship will depart from Guangzhou, sail to the Strait of Malacca via the South China Sea, pass through Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesian islands, and then turn to Africa.
After more than 10 years of successful implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, this route has become increasingly mature. A large number of trade ships travel back and forth on this Maritime Silk Road over the years. Every voyage means large-scale cross-border commodity transactions and massive wealth.
Maritime shipping has made a large number of people who have skills and are willing to endure hardships become rich. Many people have no worries about food and clothing after running with the boat for three or five years. Most of the people who are not short of money choose to enjoy life, and very few people have been wandering on the sea and insist on doing this chore.
Crouch
The captain's cabin door was pushed open from outside. The eldest mate held a cup of freshly brewed coffee in his hand and leaned against the door frame. The person in the cabin said:
Captain, I haven't slept yet. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to bear it sooner or later...
At this time, Cheng Zijun, who was already the captain, was leaning against his seat and studying the chart. After seeing the visitor, he smiled slightly and said:
Why is it so good today? I made coffee for me?
The first mate picked up the coffee in his hand and took a sip of it himself, then sighed with pleasure, saying:
Who said it was for you... Do you want to drink Ah?Rush to go by yourself...
Cheng Zijun stretched out half of his hand and shrugged back embarrassedly. He glared at the eldest mate and said:
OK...you really have it!
Hahaha……
The first mate rang out a hearty laugh, then closed the door and walked away.
Cheng Zijun was a little unhappy. He felt more and more that the captain was not favored by the crew members. Not only the first mate, but even ordinary sailors and movers dared to joke with him from time to time. He wondered if he should find a way to hit them.
Cheng Zijun shook his head and smiled. He didn't really plan to do this.
Ten years ago, after setting out from Alcatraz Island, he swam for a day and a night, and was finally rescued by a merchant ship passing by.
He begged the captain regardless of everything, begging him to save his mother. Although the merchant ship's route was strictly restricted and he could not deviate, the captain still couldn't persuade him. He sent a lifeboat to follow him and went to the waters he mentioned to find his mother.
Based on his impression, Cheng Zijun galloped all the way with his lifeboat. After reaching the location in his impression, there was nothing in the sea area and no trace of the island.
Not only that, the crew also sent a drone to fly high to overlook the entire sea area. The blue sea surface was boundless, but there was no sign of an island!
Cheng Zijun couldn't believe it. He was looking around like crazy. He knelt down and begged the crew of the lifeboat to further expand the search along other directions nearby.
The soft-hearted crew agreed and took him to run for a whole day until the speedboat's fuel tank was empty, and the shadow of the island was not found.
Cheng Zijun wanted to go into the sea to find him, but was stopped by several crew members.
They said that you have no experience in sailing, and it is all about luck to meet them on the sea this time. If there is a next time, I am afraid that you will be wandering around the sea like a headless fly and can't find the direction you will come back.
Cheng Zijun refused to listen, so several crew members tied him up and took him back to Guangzhou Port.
The Border Defense and Prosecutor's Office repeatedly interrogated and finally found Cheng Zijun's name from the missing list of shipwrecks in Phuket a few days ago.
Cheng Zijun didn't even have any room for resistance, so he was directly sent to the plane back to Beijing by the relevant departments.
After returning to Beijing, his father Cheng Tingxuan's mood can be imagined.
On the one hand, he felt extremely sad about his beloved wife's accident, but on the other hand, the dead were gone, and he definitely could not let his son take unnecessary risks.
So, Cheng Zijun spent almost all of his high school career under the strict monitoring of his father, in order not to give him the opportunity to sneak into the South China Sea to find his mother.
But if you are not sure about it, you will be one trick behind the chess.
After high school, Cheng Zijun secretly applied for military service in the Navy with his father on his back and was successfully selected for his outstanding physical fitness.
Before leaving, the relationship between the father and son almost broke up completely. In the end, Cheng Zijun took out a bottle of Maotai from somewhere, no one knew whether it was true or false. The father and son drank it all night and cried all night. No one knew what they were talking about. Only in the end, Cheng Tingxuan respected his son's choice and asked him to serve in the South China Sea.
There is no need to provide detailed information on the affairs in the military.
Cheng Zijun, who had unlimited physical strength, quickly gained power in the army and made some name for himself, but all this was still far from what Cheng Zijun expected to do.
What he hoped was naturally to find out the whereabouts of his mother through the opportunity to serve at sea, but how could everything in the army be as he wished?
So three years ago, Cheng Zijun chose to retire from the army. With a generous retirement bonus, he came to the sea and sneaked into a commercial freighter active in the southern waters. Coincidentally, this freighter happened to be the one that rescued him back then!
The original captain made enough money and was thinking about when he would retire. Cheng Zijun got on the ship at this time. Now he is different from the high school student who was in a daze and was just like a headless fly in the sea. After several years of training in the navy, he has grown into a naval elite. He is so easy to control a merchant ship.
So, Cheng Zijun exchanged all his savings and retirement funds for his current position with the captain, and his first mate happened to be the crew member who drove a lifeboat and took him around to look for his mother.
A few years later, Cheng Zijun made a lot of money for him and his crew. Gradually, everyone's motivation to make money was less strong, and Cheng Zijun was able to spend more time looking for the lost island in the sea area of that year.
He had thought that without him, how to solve the problem of fresh water and food on the island?Can his mother last until today?
But every time this happens, the mother's appearance of being around 20 years old will appear in front of him, and the saying that your girlfriend will be waiting for you here seems to be echoing in her ears.
Cheng Zijun Ah Cheng Zijun!
Mom must be waiting for you to come back on that small island, but she hasn't given up. How can you give up!
How dare you give up Ah!
In the past 10 years, Cheng Zijun has slept with little sleep. He dared not sleep. Since he doesn't need to sleep, why do he waste time?
The people around him didn't know his secret, they only knew that he was a madman who never knew what sleepiness and fatigue were.
Captain, you’re passing by Phuket in front!
His crew came over to report to him.
Phuket Ah…
Cheng Zijun's thoughts flashed back to 10 years ago. At that time, he was so happy that he was not...
Damn storm!
Cheng Zijun cursed in his heart, but it was not revealed on the surface. He followed the crew to the cockpit, squinted his eyes and looked at the small island like green jade located in the blue sea in the distance, which was the Phuket Island that thousands of travel enthusiasts yearned for.
The captain, just received news that there might be storms in the waters in this area, so that all ships can avoid it as soon as possible.
Hold!Whatever you say...this crow's mouth!
Cheng Zijun looked up at the vast sky, and seemed to see no sign of a storm, just like the situation back then, but Cheng Zijun knew that as the weather forecast technology became more and more mature over the years, since the warning was already there, there would be no falsehood.
So he turned around and ordered the crew:
Enter Hong Kong as soon as possible and avoid the storm!
yes!
He has visited this area countless times over the years and searched countless times. He has almost searched the entire sea area, but there is still no news about that small island.
Cheng Zijun even once doubted whether it was the storm at that time that caused changes in ocean currents, which led him and his mother to a further sea area?
But where can I find it in the vast ocean?
Cheng Zijun sighed and came to the deck alone to get some breath.
The first mate followed him out and handed him a can of ice cola. This was a good thing on the cargo ship that was short of supplies. This guy was reluctant to take it out for others to drink.
Cheng Zijun took the Coke, took a big mouthful, and said:
Thanks!
The first mate smiled and said:
It’s not for nothing. If you go to Thailand later, you have to buy 10 boxes to pay me!
Cheng Zijun smiled, and he knew that the first mate could not be so generous to him suddenly.
The first mate leaned against the railing, opened a can for himself, and said:
Why, are you still thinking about your mother?
Cheng Zijun remained silent and continued to drink Coke.
The first mate approached a little closer, put his arm on his shoulder, and said:
It’s been so many years, and even your dad has let go. Sometimes I really don’t know if you are looking for your mom or your lover…
Cheng Zijun raised his neck and drank the coke all in one go, then used force in his hand, like a ball of waste paper, and easily pinched the can in his hand into a ball.
He threw the can that was too low to be shrunk to the feet of the first mate, and said:
I see you are itchy and won't even say anything...
The first mate immediately smiled and said:
No, no... Captain, it seems like he is about to dock, I have to go down and take a look...
After saying that, he ran away without looking back, leaving Cheng Zijun helplessly shook his head.
Half an hour later, the ship slowly docked at a temporary port somewhere in Thailand.
Due to the storm, a large number of ships were preparing to dock here. Thai staff on the shore had to use loudspeakers to maintain order on the scene. Ships from all over the world gathered together, which was very lively.
After years of active activities in this sea area, Cheng Zijun has mastered the basic Thai language. Instead of following him to join in the fun, he stayed in the cabin, holding a simple radio and listening to the local Thai radio station.
Local Thai media reported that this storm will most likely be the strongest storm encountered in Phuket in the past 10 years. Its scale and size are comparable to the storm that caused the overturn of the Feng Huáng and Princess Aisha 10 years ago. In order to avoid another tragedy that occurred 10 years ago, local Thai authorities notified passing ships that were strictly prohibited from going to sea and urgently went to the nearby port to avoid danger.
Cheng Zijun frowned.
Storm…storm…
I always felt like I was trying to catch something, but it seemed like I was a little bit off. The anxious Cheng Zijun began to pace back and forth in the cabin, keeping muttering:
What's missing?What's wrong?
At this time, the crew came over to notify him:
Captain, our boat is docked, and everyone is ready to get off the boat and take a walk. Are you going?
Cheng Zijun was upset, so he said:
Don't go!
The crew member touched the back of his head and said:
But the first mate said... you still owe him 10 boxes of iced Coke!
What a critical moment... what else can I mention Coke!
He glared at the crew member angrily. The crew member left tactfully, but Cheng Zijun became more and more irritable.
Damn it!What exactly is it!
He bit his fingers, which was his habitual movement when he was extremely anxious.
Thailand...Photoke...Storm...Storm...Isle...
Wait a moment!
In an instant, Cheng Zijun's mind changed drastically. Is it possible that this storm is the same as the wind direction of the past?
The reason why he couldn't find that island was most likely because he was brought to a very far sea area by the storm of that year. The news just said that this storm from scale to size is comparable to that of that storm of that year. If...
If the wind direction is the same...
He might be able to find that island!
Mother……
He clenched his fists secretly, and he didn't even realize that his nails were embedded in his flesh.
He hurried to the deck, and the wind direction vane on the mast pointed out accurately.Cheng Zijun took off the special navigation watch on his left wrist, adjusted it to the compass mode, and carefully compared the wind direction on the mast.
This is the north...this is the west...this direction is this...
What about that year?Where was it back then...
Cheng Zijun grabbed his hair and turned around anxiously.
Think about it... Think about it quickly...
He closed his eyes, and the situation he and his mother were still vivid in the cabin back then
...Mom lifted the scarf... She said she looked good enough...
...Mom was sitting next to the window at the time... The hair on her forehead was floating in the wind...
In which direction...it seems to be diagonally behind...
By the way!At that time, the sea water was poured into the cabin from our windows!That is to say...
We were back to Phuket at that time, and the direction should be...
Cheng Zijun quickly calculated the wind direction of that year, and compared it with the current wind direction...
The wind direction is the same!
Yes, the wind direction is consistent!
Hold!
Cheng Zijun suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes covered with red blood.
He knew in his heart that if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would wait for the next time...
He rushed into the cabin and took out the emergency kit he had prepared many years ago, which contained satellite positioning devices, satellite phones, ropes, life jackets, simple inflatable rafts, and emergency medicines...
The first mate often complains that although your emergency package contains a lot of things, it only lacks the most important food and water... Do you really think you are an Iron Man?Can you not eat or drink?
How could Cheng Zijun know the meaning of the first mate without explaining it?
He came outside the cabin and put down a lifeboat from the edge of the ship. This scene happened to be seen by the first mate on the side...
Captain...what are you going to do?
Cheng Zijun ignored him.
The first mate asked jokingly:
It can't be because of 10 boxes of Coke, and I'm just so unconscious and want to run away, right?
Cheng Zijun still ignored him.
The first mate continued:
Hi, it won’t be, it won’t be, at worst I’ll give you a discount?Otherwise... what about 9 boxes?
Just as the first mate was having fun, Cheng Zijun had already put down most of the lifeboat and started to move on the boat. Only then did the first mate realize that the captain was not joking this time!
He pounced on him and asked sternly:
Captain, what are you going to do?A storm warning outside!You come back soon!Come back soon!
Cheng Zijun was very fast and had already boarded the boat in a blink of an eye. As the boat descended all the way, he finally landed on the sea. He waved to the first mate who was still on the boat and shouted:
I'm going to find my mom!The rest of the voyage is left to you!From today on, you will be the captain!
The first mate was surprised and said:
You're crazy!There has been a storm warning!Even ships with tonnage of ours are prohibited from going to sea. What can you do with a small boat?Come back soon!You want to find your mother, and we will all accompany you to find it!
Cheng Zijun shook his head and said:
No!I have calculated the wind direction. This storm is the same as the storm that year. This may be my last chance to find my mother!If you still think I am your captain, just listen to me, don’t stop me, don’t follow me!
The first mate was stunned. He understood what the captain was most serious about, and nothing could persuade him.
Cheng Zijun had already started the speedboat. He pointed to his backpack and said:
I brought a satellite phone. If I find my mother, I will contact you!Wait for my call!
Immediately, with the roar of the engine, Cheng Zijun launched the speedboat and galloped in the distance.
The first mate looked at the captain's back as if the 16-year-old boy who ignored him appeared before his eyes. Tears blurred his eyes. He shouted in the direction of the captain's departure:
Captain, we'll wait for you to come back!You must come back to Ah!
Yang Keru stood at the highest position on the island, looking at his son's figure far away, tears still couldn't stop flowing.
For some reason, her heart seemed to be taken away by someone, empty and painful again.
She stood at the highest point of the island, standing motionless for several hours until her son's back completely disappeared. Then she walked down from the top of the cliff like absent-mindedly and returned to the place where she and her son were together day and night in the past few days.

Cheng Zijun looked up at the vast sky, and seemed to see no sign of a storm, just like the situation back then, but Cheng Zijun knew that as the weather forecast technology became more and more mature over the years, since the warning was already there, there would be no falsehood.
So he turned around and ordered the crew:
Enter Hong Kong as soon as possible and avoid the storm!
yes!
He has visited this area countless times over the years and searched countless times. He has almost searched the entire sea area, but there is still no news about that small island.
Cheng Zijun even once doubted whether it was the storm at that time that caused changes in ocean currents, which led him and his mother to a further sea area?
But where can I find it in the vast ocean?
Cheng Zijun sighed and came to the deck alone to get some breath.
The first mate followed him out and handed him a can of ice cola. This was a good thing on the cargo ship that was short of supplies. This guy was reluctant to take it out for others to drink.
Cheng Zijun took the Coke, took a big mouthful, and said:
Thanks!
The first mate smiled and said:
It’s not for nothing. If you go to Thailand later, you have to buy 10 boxes to pay me!
Cheng Zijun smiled, and he knew that the first mate could not be so generous to him suddenly.
The first mate leaned against the railing, opened a can for himself, and said:
Why, are you still thinking about your mother?
Cheng Zijun remained silent and continued to drink Coke.
The first mate approached a little closer, put his arm on his shoulder, and said:
It’s been so many years, and even your dad has let go. Sometimes I really don’t know if you are looking for your mom or your lover…
Cheng Zijun raised his neck and drank the coke all in one go, then used force in his hand, like a ball of waste paper, and easily pinched the can in his hand into a ball.
He threw the can that was too low to be shrunk to the feet of the first mate, and said:
I see you are itchy and won't even say anything...
The first mate immediately smiled and said:
No, no... Captain, it seems like he is about to dock, I have to go down and take a look...
After saying that, he ran away without looking back, leaving Cheng Zijun helplessly shook his head.
Half an hour later, the ship slowly docked at a temporary port somewhere in Thailand.
Due to the storm, a large number of ships were preparing to dock here. Thai staff on the shore had to use loudspeakers to maintain order on the scene. Ships from all over the world gathered together, which was very lively.
After years of active activities in this sea area, Cheng Zijun has mastered the basic Thai language. Instead of following him to join in the fun, he stayed in the cabin, holding a simple radio and listening to the local Thai radio station.
Local Thai media reported that this storm will most likely be the strongest storm encountered in Phuket in the past 10 years. Its scale and size are comparable to the storm that caused the overturn of the Feng Huáng and Princess Aisha 10 years ago. In order to avoid another tragedy that occurred 10 years ago, local Thai authorities notified passing ships that were strictly prohibited from going to sea and urgently went to the nearby port to avoid danger.
Cheng Zijun frowned.
Storm…storm…
I always felt like I was trying to catch something, but it seemed like I was a little bit off. The anxious Cheng Zijun began to pace back and forth in the cabin, keeping muttering:
What's missing?What's wrong?
At this time, the crew came over to notify him:
Captain, our boat is docked, and everyone is ready to get off the boat and take a walk. Are you going?
Cheng Zijun was upset, so he said:
Don't go!
The crew member touched the back of his head and said:
But the first mate said... you still owe him 10 boxes of iced Coke!
What a critical moment... what else can I mention Coke!
He glared at the crew member angrily. The crew member left tactfully, but Cheng Zijun became more and more irritable.
Damn it!What exactly is it!
He bit his fingers, which was his habitual movement when he was extremely anxious.
Thailand...Photoke...Storm...Storm...Isle...
Wait a moment!
In an instant, Cheng Zijun's mind changed drastically. Is it possible that this storm is the same as the wind direction of the past?
The reason why he couldn't find that island was most likely because he was brought to a very far sea area by the storm of that year. The news just said that this storm from scale to size is comparable to that of that storm of that year. If...
If the wind direction is the same...
He might be able to find that island!
Mother……
He clenched his fists secretly, and he didn't even realize that his nails were embedded in his flesh.
He hurried to the deck, and the wind direction vane on the mast pointed out accurately.Cheng Zijun took off the special navigation watch on his left wrist, adjusted it to the compass mode, and carefully compared the wind direction on the mast.
This is the north...this is the west...this direction is this...
What about that year?Where was it back then...
Cheng Zijun grabbed his hair and turned around anxiously.
Think about it... Think about it quickly...
He closed his eyes, and the situation he and his mother were still vivid in the cabin back then
...Mom lifted the scarf... She said she looked good enough...
...Mom was sitting next to the window at the time... The hair on her forehead was floating in the wind...
In which direction...it seems to be diagonally behind...
By the way!At that time, the sea water was poured into the cabin from our windows!That is to say...
We were back to Phuket at that time, and the direction should be...
Cheng Zijun quickly calculated the wind direction of that year, and compared it with the current wind direction...
The wind direction is the same!
Yes, the wind direction is consistent!
Hold!
Cheng Zijun suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes covered with red blood.
He knew in his heart that if he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would wait for the next time...
He rushed into the cabin and took out the emergency kit he had prepared many years ago, which contained satellite positioning devices, satellite phones, ropes, life jackets, simple inflatable rafts, and emergency medicines...
The first mate often complains that although your emergency package contains a lot of things, it only lacks the most important food and water... Do you really think you are an Iron Man?Can you not eat or drink?
How could Cheng Zijun know the meaning of the first mate without explaining it?
He came outside the cabin and put down a lifeboat from the edge of the ship. This scene happened to be seen by the first mate on the side...
Captain...what are you going to do?
Cheng Zijun ignored him.
The first mate asked jokingly:
It can't be because of 10 boxes of Coke, and I'm just so unconscious and want to run away, right?
Cheng Zijun still ignored him.
The first mate continued:
Hi, it won’t be, it won’t be, at worst I’ll give you a discount?Otherwise... what about 9 boxes?
Just as the first mate was having fun, Cheng Zijun had already put down most of the lifeboat and started to move on the boat. Only then did the first mate realize that the captain was not joking this time!
He pounced on him and asked sternly:
Captain, what are you going to do?A storm warning outside!You come back soon!Come back soon!
Cheng Zijun was very fast and had already boarded the boat in a blink of an eye. As the boat descended all the way, he finally landed on the sea. He waved to the first mate who was still on the boat and shouted:
I'm going to find my mom!The rest of the voyage is left to you!From today on, you will be the captain!
The first mate was surprised and said:
You're crazy!There has been a storm warning!Even ships with tonnage of ours are prohibited from going to sea. What can you do with a small boat?Come back soon!You want to find your mother, and we will all accompany you to find it!
Cheng Zijun shook his head and said:
No!I have calculated the wind direction. This storm is the same as the storm that year. This may be my last chance to find my mother!If you still think I am your captain, just listen to me, don’t stop me, don’t follow me!
The first mate was stunned. He understood what the captain was most serious about, and nothing could persuade him.
Cheng Zijun had already started the speedboat. He pointed to his backpack and said:
I brought a satellite phone. If I find my mother, I will contact you!Wait for my call!
Immediately, with the roar of the engine, Cheng Zijun launched the speedboat and galloped in the distance.
The first mate looked at the captain's back as if the 16-year-old boy who ignored him appeared before his eyes. Tears blurred his eyes. He shouted in the direction of the captain's departure:
Captain, we'll wait for you to come back!You must come back to Ah!
