Chapter 1: West to East China Sea

One day in July, a small Galen ship slowly sailed in from the boundary line between the West Sea and the East China Sea. It had four masts, two masts in the front hung with railing sails, and two masts in the back hung with triangular sails. The standard length was 4 meters, and the entire deck was , a young couple stood on the poop, the woman held a child who had just turned one year old in her hands.

The man was measuring the direction and speed of the wind. The child in the woman's arms didn't fuss, cry, or laugh. It just twisted its body, trying to walk on its own.

The woman murmured and put the child down, carefully holding the child with one hand. The Galen boat was very easy to catch the wind, and it sailed very fast with the wind. The east wind gradually increased, and the Galen boat's unnoticeable shaking became obvious.

"There will be strong winds soon." Kaji looked at his child who had learned to walk in confusion. The child's eyes became very complicated. He couldn't remember when this happened. Compared with other children, his child As if he had learned to think, the child's crying suddenly disappeared. Can a child who has just turned one year old be able to walk? Kaki couldn't figure out how old he was when he learned to walk. Of course he couldn't remember.

The sun that was about to set was like coals that were about to burn out in a furnace. The sky in the west was a fiery red. When looking to the east, a night scene appeared, and a few slightly shining stars appeared vaguely behind the scattered clouds in the sky.

The wind began to ruffle his hair, feeling like wisps at first, and then gusts. Gao Jin breathed in the wind with the salty smell of the ocean tide.

Driving at night, especially in strong winds, requires extreme concentration. There is actually only one person on this small Galen boat, which is equipped with a standard configuration of 6 people. Kaji patted his forehead gently and tried to fix his messed up hair. , I’m going to be very busy tonight.

Keina happened to have the same name as someone. She picked up the child and walked to the bottom of the deck. The one-year-old child was obviously not yet weaned, but her child suddenly died two months and three days ago. She stopped feeding, and both she and Kaji were frightened and hurried to the island to find a doctor.

There was a cow feeding on the first floor of the deck. Keina once again noticed the stubborn look in the child's eyes. He stopped accepting his own breast milk and started drinking milk instead. This sometimes made her sad, and sometimes she found it strange.

"hungry."

Keina looked at the child and seemed to have difficulty saying this word, but in fact she knew it was not the case. Her child was obviously different from other children. When she was eight months old, she suddenly learned to walk. When she was nine months old, she suddenly learned to walk. I even noticed that the child sometimes said something inaudible silently, and it obviously meant what he understood.

And when she and Kaji discussed certain issues, the child's flashing eyes would make her think that the child fully understood.

Outside, the night starts from the east and gradually moves to the west. Inside the small Galen ship, the night moves from the outside to the inside. While there is still light outside, it is already dark inside.

The lit oil lamp was hung on the iron hook, making a clanging sound as the ship's hull swayed. The light flickered and seemed to be extinguished at any time. This was just an appearance. Even if the oil lamp fell from the iron hook, it would It will still continue to burn brightly.

In some bad memories, I have encountered maelstroms, tsunamis, etc., but the oil lamp has never disappointed me.

There are only two differences between the oil lamps used on ships and ordinary oil lamps. The lampshade is a screw-in structure and is made of a material called snow wax. It has been beaten, dropped, and smashed. The connection between the wick and the kerosene is screwed. .

That's what happened.

When he was still ignorant, there was always information shining in his mind that he did not understand. At that time, he was not confused because he could not think yet.

As his brain continued to mature, Gao Jin understood what was going on. He also learned that his name was no longer Gao Jin, but Cameron, the child of Kaji and Keina.

It turns out that's what happened, he traveled through time.

Gao Jin grabbed the hem of Keina's clothes, and she was milking Gao Jin.

How should we repay the kindness of our parents in giving birth to him, raising him, and nurturing him?

Gao Jin's memory of traveling from the West Sea to the East Sea was only two months ago. Judging from the information exchanged between Kaki and Keina, this journey should have lasted for more than eight months, and it was more like an escape.

"We have arrived in the East China Sea, my dear child, do you know?" Keina had milked the milk and picked up Gao Jin. She was used to talking to her child, and Gao Jin nodded habitually. "You're such a smart kid, aren't you? My dear baby, why aren't you the first one to learn from mom or dad? I think you already know how to speak."

Gao Jin looked up at the skylight. The slightly shining stars had disappeared, dark clouds had covered them, and there was more than just strong wind tonight. If there was any need to worry, Gao Jin might want Kaji to furl his sails, as Kagi almost fell into the sea during the last bad weather. He also knew that Keina would carry him to the bed after feeding him. She knew that she would not move around and cause trouble. She would hope that she could go out to help as soon as possible.

"Is it an escape?"

The quilt gently covered Gao Jin. Keina looked back at her child Cameron. He was her angel, the only one she and her husband Kaji had. The meaning of life would continue. If he lived, he would live. If there is any need for proof, Cameron's existence is the only proof and significance for her and Kaji.

After Keina left, Gao Jin sat up. The guardrail beside his bed was raised to a height of 1.2 meters. With his current height of just over half a meter, it was impossible to climb out.

Children who are only one year old are not suitable for thinking. Thinking makes people sleepy. Gao Jin leaned against the guardrail and pulled the quilt over him. The howling of the strong wind outside was obvious. The ship's hull was shaking more and more violently. Occasionally, there was a loud thunder. , will give people the illusion that the world has been split in half.

The shaking of the oil lamp became more and more intense, and the light it brought was like a windmill spinning. On an elm desk not far away was a black box. There were exquisite lines on the box, an abstract pattern of a hand, a black hand.

On most days when the sea was calm and suitable for sailing, Kaji would take out the black book from the locked box and read it for a long time, looking at it with fascination, sadness, and finally fear, and sometimes Angry, he was as angry as a sheep. Only when Kaji's eyes shifted to his children could he calm down completely.

"What kind of book could that be?" Gao Jin thought as he was about to fall asleep that his doubts were in the box. The existence of Keina and Kaki was like a wound. Such a wound was too deep, and Gao Jin didn't know that he was in the box. When did you receive a fatal injury? Such an injury is too deep, it is basically in the bones, so once the bleeding is unstoppable, it will continue to bleed for a lifetime.

With a pale and hot lightning, Keina screamed, and Cameron woke up from his dream. If there was a soul, his soul was speechless.
