church diary seventeen

Mr. Stone finally woke up. His body was very weak, as if he was seriously ill. The doctor suggested that he continue the infusion, but he said no, and just asked us for some nutritious porridge.

Ivan and Boris have almost recovered, especially Boris, who is full of energy. He got on well with Anderson and often went to help him repair his boat.

Not to mention, Boris and Ivan know the equipment on the ship very well, and many problems have been fixed by their hands. Anderson secretly told me that these two men must have served in the military, and on the best warships or submarines.

From their behavior and Boris' casual words, I had already sensed that they were probably soldiers, but it was not as accurate as Anderson's inference.

If our guess is correct, their reluctance to talk about the reasons for their accident is understandable. But thinking about it makes me a little worried. Could it be that the tsunami we encountered and the previous strange things were really related to the actions of the military? And they are the soldiers who were almost killed in military operations?

In theory, the only country in the South Pacific that can make such a big move is the United States. New Zealand does not have this strength, and Australia will not conduct military experiments so far away from the mainland, and this is the sphere of influence of the Americans. But why are there two Russian soldiers in the US military behavior? Besides, there's an Asian lying there!

The more I thought about it, the more confusing and incredible I felt. There was a strong smell of conspiracy lingering in front of my nose. I even smelled some great unknown danger.

It's better to leave quickly, everything will be fine once we return to land.

However, before we could adjust our course, another terrible thing was confirmed.

The cause of the incident was a watch Boris was wearing on his wrist.

At that time, he was blowing wind on the deck with Anderson, and he was boasting all kinds of things. I deliberately asked Anderson to talk to him more so that I could get some news from him.

Boris asked Anderson, do you think this is the first Christmas I have spent at sea?

Anderson laughed and said, "It doesn't matter which one it is. Christmas is still early and it's only August. If you're still on the ship in four months, you can talk about this topic again."

Boris looked at Anderson in surprise, then raised his wrist to look at it, slapped his watch hard and said, are you crazy Anderson? Tomorrow is Christmas, tomorrow, understand! Are you stupid enough to drink sea water and say it's only August?

Anderson grabbed his wrist and stared at his watch, then at his own wrist. I saw the surprised expression gradually solidifying on Anderson's face from a distance.

Then Anderson nervously came over and grabbed my wrist to look at my watch. I said what's up, Anderson? Anderson said you go look at that guy's watch. The date on his watch is December 24th.

I said how is it possible? But I still asked Boris, who was slowly walking over, for confirmation. He said that's right, today is Christmas Eve, shouldn't we relax together?

Various advanced electronic watches of scientists were broken in this tsunami and electromagnetic pulse disaster, but most of my sailors wore waterproof mechanical watches. The calendar on our table shows that we are still in August. I still have a paper calendar in my captain’s cabin, and I tear one out every day. And I have the habit of keeping a diary, so I believe I won’t get the date wrong.

However, both Boris and Ivan's watches show that it is December and tomorrow is Christmas. Both of them also swore that this date would definitely be correct.

I think they have no reason to lie to us, and it is impossible for them to premeditate and adjust the date of the watch at the same time. And most importantly, the sun in the sky and the temperature on the sea don't lie. Although the ocean does not have as large a temperature difference between the four seasons as on land, the difference between winter and summer is still obvious.

Robbins was silent after hearing the news. He had made this speculation a few days ago, but no one wanted to believe it. He first went to the room of Pardick, who was recovering from his injuries, and closed the door. The two of them talked for a long time in the room. Later he called Mrs. Larry again.

I don’t know what they are talking about and why they are so mysterious, but I think it must have something to do with traveling through time, because Pardick is an expert in space physics. If anyone on the ship can explain clearly about traveling through time, Probably just him.

Moreover, Partick was seriously injured, and the medical conditions on the ship were limited, especially after many of the equipment broke down. He could only rely on primitive means to help his broken bones recover. Fortunately, his concussion was not serious. With such a serious injury, he should not be disturbed. Mr. Robbins must have felt that the situation was a bit serious, or thought of something else that he must ask Partick.

But my God, what is going on? Why are they so mysterious?

Later, when he and Mrs. Larry came out of Pardick's room, I thought they were going to announce something, but they didn't. Together they went to Arthur Stone's room. But this time they probably felt that they shouldn’t avoid me as the captain, so they greeted me and said they wanted to confirm something with Mr. Stone and invited me to come with them.

Ivan and Boris seemed worried about us and followed us nervously. Neither Robbins nor Mrs. Larry stopped. As a result, others who wanted to go followed. Alice followed Mrs. Larry every step of the way, and several other scientists followed closely behind us.

But later I found out why Robbins and Mrs. Larry didn't stop others from going together, because it was useless no matter how many people went. After Mrs. Larry entered, she started talking to Mr. Stone in incredibly proficient Chinese. Others could not understand what they were saying.

In my many years of sailing career, I have come into contact with many crew members of different nationalities, including of course Chinese. So I have learned a little bit of Chinese and can say some common expressions such as "Hello, have you eaten, goodbye, fuck" and other common expressions, but if you ask me to listen to a conversation between two Chinese people, I am serious. I can't even react.

I heard Mrs. Larry speaking Chinese like she was singing, and the only thing I could understand was probably the name she called Stone, although the syllables became a little weird and sounded like "Situ."

Mr. "Situ" always has a warm smile on his face. Although his smile may be lazy due to physical reasons, it has a power that goes deep into people's hearts, making you feel as comfortable as bathing in the spring breeze when you see him. . I saw Alice's eyes light up, even though I was sure she didn't understand a word she said.

The conversation didn't last long, and Stone seemed unable to hold on any longer, although he remained so graceful that it was almost as if he was a patient.

Mrs. Larry ended the conversation, and everyone except Ivan and Boris exited Stone's room. I saw the expressions on Mrs. Larry's and Robbins' faces changing, and I didn't know what was going on.

I think things must be serious. Mr. Robbins explained nothing to me, but merely requested that we proceed with all speed to find land as quickly as possible.
