  问天已经完全被雪莉父母身上的闪光点所感动,他思索了一会,问道:“Frank!When Brett was out at sea, did he send you any messages or anything like that?(弗兰克!布莱特在出海以后,他有没有给你们发过什么电文之类的讯息?)”
  弗兰克摇了摇头:“No message at all,not at all(没有任何的讯息,完全没有。)”
  “But Brett sent me the code back.(可布莱特给我发回了电码。)”雪莉看着弗兰克说。
  弗兰克不可思议地问道:“Code?What code?(电码?什么电码?)”
  雪莉拿出那份摩尔斯电码的内容递给弗兰克:“It's Morse code.(是摩尔斯电码。)”
  “Morse code?(摩尔斯电码?)”弗兰克疑惑地问道,“This is incredible!But how did Brett send the code?How do you know it's from Brett?(这也太不可思议了!可布莱特是怎么发出电码的?你又是怎么知道这是布莱特发出的电码?)”
  雪莉拿出手机,打开相册,把发报机的照片点出来递给弗兰克和托雷斯看,问道:“Do you recognize this transmitter?(你们认得这台发报机吗?)”
  弗兰克和托雷斯都点了点头:“Yes,it's your parents'transmitter.They always had it with them when they went to sea,but then they stopped.(认得,这是你父母的发报机,前期出海他们一直都带在身边,后来就不带了。)”
  雪莉说:“It was the Morse code I received on this transmitter,and the radio had been modified to send Morse code.Uncle xiao with our family anniversary,deciphered the message content,later,is also after uncle xiao speculation and parties to find,to find you,if there is no uncle xiao's help,I would not be here,let alone to find you.(我就是用这台发报机收到的摩尔斯电码,而收音机经过改装,也能够发出摩尔斯电码。叔叔用我们家的纪念日,破译出了这份电文内容,后来,也是经过了萧叔叔的推测和各方寻找,才得以找到了你们;如果没有叔叔的帮忙,我根本就到不了这里,更别说是找到你们了。)”
  托雷斯问道:“Mr Shaw!You know Morse code?(萧先生!你会摩尔斯电码?)”他刚看到问天和高晓飞时,曾经对这两个中国人的态度比较冷淡,但经过这两天一系列的事情后,已经对问天和高晓飞非常佩服了,特别是对于问天,甚至都到了崇拜的地步。
  问天点了点头,只回答道:“I've learned a little before.(以前学过一点。)”
  弗兰克疑惑地说:“Did Brett really find the mysterious island?And did they land on the island?This is incredible!(难道说,布莱特真的找到了那座神秘岛屿?而且,还登上了岛吗?这太不可思议了!)”
  托雷斯同样也是不可思议地说:“Oh,my god!We've been looking for 15 years,but we haven't found a ghost island!(噢,天哪!我们可是陆续地寻找了十五年,可都没找到哪座所谓的幽灵岛!)”
  雪莉说:“Uncle xiao gave us an analysis of the situation of Brett.He should have found the mysterious island and boarded it.We also asked for help from the American and Mexican far-sea search and rescue teams,but they refused to go out to rescue.(叔叔给我们分析了布莱特的情况,他应该是真的找到了那座神秘岛屿,并且登了上去。我们也曾经向美国和墨西哥的远海搜救队求助过,可他们都不肯出海相救。)”又把他们这一段时间来所了解的线索跟弗兰克和托雷斯说了一遍。
  托雷斯摇了摇头,感叹着说:“This kind of circumstance,all far sea search and rescue team cannot take over!It's not about the money,it's about not taking this unpredictable risk.(这种情况,所有的远海搜救队都不可能接手的!这不是钱的问题,而是没必要冒这种不可预知的危险。)”
  雪莉说:“So I want to go out to sea.I want to look for Brett.I want to look for my parents.Frank!Torres!!!Can you help me?(所以说,我想出海,我要寻找布莱特,也想寻找我父母当年的足迹。弗兰克!托雷斯!你们能帮我吗?)”
  弗兰克说道:“Shirley!We've been looking for black,and we haven't given up looking for your parents,but you're going to sea,and that's a real risk,and I don't want you to go to sea.(雪莉!我们一直都在寻找布莱特,也没有放弃过对你父母的寻找,可你要出海,那真的很冒险,我不同意你出海去。)”
  问天问道:“Frank!That mysterious ghost island, except Shirley's parents and you saw once, has anyone else seen it?(弗兰克!那座神秘的幽灵岛,除了雪莉的父母和你见过一次,另外还有人看见过吗?)”
  弗兰克点着头说:“The island is very mysterious,exactly speaking,we couldn't see there is land,is surrounded by a thick fog all around,but we feel that it is an island,it is far from route,so very few people find it,but also have met some people,therefore,on the sea in this area is out of the ghost on the island of legend,but who also don't know what it is,also once had some explorer to find,but no one ever found,or,perhaps,people who find it back,like Shirley and Tony's parents!(那座岛很神秘,确切来说,我们根本就看不见里面有陆地,周围都被浓厚的雾气所包围;可我们感觉到,它就是一座岛屿。它远离航线,所以发现它的人很少,可也有一些人遇见过的,所以,在这一带海域上就流传出了幽灵岛的传说,可谁也不知道它是什么样的。也曾经有过一些探险者去寻找,但从来就没有人找到过,又或许,找到了它的人都回不来了,就像雪莉的父母和布莱特!)”
  问天又问道:“Frank!According to the notes in Shirley's parents' diary, and you also said that the mysterious island could not be approached, I want to know, why not?Your ships are very powerful.(弗兰克!据雪莉父母日记本中记载,还有你也说过,那座神秘岛屿无法靠近,我想知道,是什么原因无法靠近?你们的船只可都是马力很足的。)”
  弗兰克缓缓地说:“It puzzled me fifteen years,by shelly's father is at the helm,but no matter how he tweaks,our ship can't rushed into the mist,like the bottom under the mysterious power,there is a very powerful ships to extrapolate,ships the harder,outward thrust of the greater,even is in danger of carry over the boat,we change the position of several trying again,but can't succeed,then would be afraid to try,we turned two laps around the fog area,always can't find in method,then the sea breeze,we can only give up.(这件事整整困惑了我十五年。当时就是由雪莉的父亲掌舵,可无论他如何开足马力,我们的船都无法冲进雾气中,就好像水底之下有一股非常强大的神秘力量,托着船只往外推。船只越是使劲冲,往外的推力也就越大,甚至有把船携翻的危险。我们又换了好几处的位置尝试,但都无法成功,后来也就不敢试了。我们绕着雾气区转了两圈,始终找不到进去的方法,再后来,海上起风了,我们就只有放弃。)”
  问天又问道:“How big is the whole fog zone?(整个雾气区有多大?)”
  弗兰克想了想,回答道:“The whole foggy area was very big,about 30 square kilometers,but what was inside it?We couldn't see it at all,but the three of us were sure that it was definitely a piece of land But the whole area was enveloped in mist, and within the mist there was also a heat wave rolling and inaccessible.(整个雾气区很大,约在二十平方公里左右,可里面到底是什么环境,根本看不到。但我们三个人都一致确定,那里面,绝对是一块陆地,但整片区域都被雾气严密地笼罩着,而且,雾气里也是热浪翻滚,不可靠近。)”
  问天追问道:“Frank!Did you go into the water to see why?(弗兰克!当时你们下水看原因了吗?)”
  弗兰克摇头说:“No,no,no,it got windy,and we had to give up.(不不不,当时海上起风了,我们就只好放弃了)。”
  问天静静地思索着:这到底是一处什么样的地方?为什么会出现如此诡异的现象?他回想着雪莉父母日记中所记载的情景,慢慢地疏理着思路。然后分析道:“Shirley's parents have been thinking about it ever since they stumbled across the mysterious ghost island.I think that in the month or so between their return and their return to the sea they had worked out how to break through the fog, and that was probably what the diary that bright had obtained, and of course the longitude and latitude coordinates of ghost island.(雪莉的父母自从那次无意中遇见了那座神秘的幽灵岛之后,肯定会一直念念不忘,他们是航海探险家,骨子里就长满了探险的基因。我想,从他们回来,又到重新出海的这一个多月的时间里,应该是研究出了如何冲破雾气区的办法,而布莱特得到的那一本日记,很有可能就记载了这些,当然也记载了幽灵岛的经纬座标。)”
  大家连连点头。雪莉却紧跟着说:“Frank!Torres!!!Let's go out to sea again,shall we?(弗兰克!托雷斯!我们再出海一次,好吗?)”
  弗兰克道:“Shirley!I don't want you to take any more chances,or we'll be even worse off to your parents!(雪莉!我不想再让你去冒险,否则的话,我们就更加对不起你的父母了!)”
  雪莉斩钉截铁地说:“But they're my family,and it's my duty to find them.(可他们是我的亲人,我有责任去找到他们。)”
  托雷斯摊开双手,摇了摇头说:“Shirley!But we have no latitude,no coordinates,so in the Pacific search for a mysterious island,it is not realistic,as if we have been looking for,but 15 years later,still can not find.(雪莉!可我们没有纬度,没有座标,就这样在太平洋上寻找一座神秘岛屿,这不现实,就好像我们一直都在找,可十五年过去了,还是找不到!)”
  弗兰克摇了摇头感叹道:“What's more, the so-called ghost island can't even find the satellite!(更何况,那座所谓的幽灵岛,连卫星都找不到!)”
  雪莉从包里拿出问天打印好的地标纬度和遥感图像,递过去给弗兰克和托雷斯看,说道:“This is the information my uncle helped me find,frank!Do you think this is the right place?(这是叔叔帮忙找到的资料,弗兰克!你看看是不是就是这个地方?)”
  “Oh my god!(噢天哪!)”弗兰克惊讶得失声呼叫,睁大了眼睛喊道,“This is incredible!This is not what ordinary civilian satellites can find!Mr Shaw!How did you get these?(这太不可思议了!这可不是普通的民用卫星所能搜索到的!萧先生!你是怎么弄到这些的?)”
  问天摇了摇头,反问道:“Are you sure this is ghost island?(你确认一下,这里是不是幽灵岛?)”
  弗兰克点着头说:“I'm sure,absolutely.Once I have the coordinates,I can find them.(我确定,绝对是,只要有了座标,我就能找到。)”
  托雷斯对问天更是佩服得五体投地,诚恳地说:“Mr Shaw!If we went to sea on ghost island,would you join us?(萧先生!如果我们出海寻找幽灵岛,你会不会加入我们一起?)”他已经深切地感觉到,萧问天并不是一个普通人,有他的帮助,才能够更好地完成任务。
  弗兰克也看着问天说:“Mr Shaw!We sincerely invite you to join us.(萧先生!我们诚恳地邀请你们加入。)”
  问天感慨道:“Before I came to America, I mainly wanted to persuade Shirley not to go out to sea blindly, because I knew that kelly would definitely go out with her. I knew the danger of sailing.Later, we came to Mexico together. Today, I heard you describe Shirley's parents' sailing experience and their deeds. Although I don't know much about them, they deserve my admiration.We add.(来美国之前,我主要就是想说服雪莉不要盲目出海,因为我知道凯丽一定会跟着出去。航海的危险性我知道,我们都没有航海的经验。后来,又一起来了墨西哥。今天,我听了你们描述雪莉父母的航海经历和他们的事迹,虽然说,对于他们,我并不了解,可他们值得我佩服,现在又有了你们两个航海家的帮忙,好!我们加入。)”
  “老爸!你太好了!”凯丽一把抱住问天,眼泪不由自主地流了出来。
  “傻瓜,你是我的女儿。”问天抚摸着凯丽的头发,轻轻地感叹着说,“我又怎么能让你独自去冒险呢?”
  “老爸!”凯丽又喊了一声,泪已满眶。
  雪莉、弗兰克和托雷斯都听不懂中文,当然也就不知道他们之间发生了什么事。
  “Xiao-fei gao!What's wrong with them?(高晓飞!他们,怎么了?)”雪莉忍不住问道。
  “哦。”高晓飞一下子被惊醒过来,笑了笑,连忙向雪莉、弗兰克和托雷斯解释了一下问天和凯丽的情况。
  弗兰克和托雷斯对问天更是肃然起敬,一齐站了起来。
  雪莉也站了起来,对着问天躹了一躬,真诚地说:“Uncle!Thank you.(叔叔!谢谢你!)”
  问天微笑道:“Shirley!Your parents deserve my admiration!(雪莉!你的父母,值得我敬佩!)”又向着弗兰克和托雷斯伸出右手,用真诚的话语说,“We are friends,you can call me xiao ask heaven.(我们是朋友,你们可以叫我萧问天。)”
  “Yes!We are friends!(是的!我们是朋友!)”弗兰克和托雷斯一齐双手相握。
  夜空中,月色昏晕,星光稀疏,整个大地似乎都沉睡过去了。这是一个非常经典的夜晚,喧嚣的墨西哥城终于渐渐安静下来,周围的高楼大厦也慢慢地被笼罩在夜色之中。
  高晓飞和凯丽站在餐厅的阳台外。
  “嗯!这次出海,你有什么看法?”凯丽打破了沉寂。
  “非常高兴,我们又可以一起经历人生,一起去探险了,我一直都在担心,担心老大不肯答应,可没想到,他居然答应得这么干脆!”
  “老爸!他是舍不得我独自去冒险!”
  “老大舍不得你,舍不得整个家庭,他是个好父亲。”
  凯丽点了点头,感慨着说:“在中国,让我享受到了从来没有得到过的家庭温暖。”她微笑着,笑得很甜,很满足。
  她看着高晓飞说:“出海很危险的,你难道不怕吗?”
  高晓飞笑了笑:“陪着你一起,我还会怕吗?上天给我们安排的每一次挣扎,都是有目的的,跟死神亲密接触过的机会都没有,那才叫白活了。”
  凯丽看着他笑:“有点境界啊!觉悟提高了!”
  高晓飞笑道:“孙悟空曾经说过一句话:我若成佛,天下无魔,我若成魔,佛奈我何?人活着,就应该像孙悟空一样,疯狂过、拼搏过、成功过、失败过、努力过、憎恨过、辉煌过、奋斗过、悔恨过,但是从来没有害怕过。老大也曾经跟我们说过,人生就是一个不断经历的过程,任何时候,请记住自己的理想,坚持自己的梦想,不断升华自己的思想。只有苦练七十二变,才能笑对八十一难,噢耶!”
  凯丽看着他反问道:“噢什么耶?老爸有说过后两句吗?”
  高晓飞笑道:“后两句是我说的,我不就是想跟孙悟空和老大平起平坐一会吗!”
  “哈哈哈哈!”两人一齐大笑。
  第二天一早,弗兰克和托雷斯就开着车过来酒店接问天四人了,为了方便商讨事情,托雷斯特地安排出了四间客房,把四人都接到了餐厅来住。
  他们两个平时基本上都是轮流出海,回来墨西哥城后就住在餐厅里。昨晚经过了深思熟虑的商量后,六个人一致决定了出海寻找幽灵岛的航海计划,但弗兰克和托雷斯的船停泊在雷维亚希赫多群岛上,而且,出海还得需要购置很多的必需品。所以决定让弗兰克和托雷斯在墨西哥城购置物品,三天后搭快艇到达雷维亚希赫多群岛,换了船后正式起航。
  一行六人刚走到餐厅门口,却发现昨天打架的三个年轻人站在台阶上笑脸相迎,一看到问天过来,连忙跑过来,对着问天叩头便拜,弄得大家面面相觑,不明就里。
  “晓飞!怎么回事?”问天瞪着高晓飞问道。
  “老大!这真不关我的事,是他们说要改邪归正,还要拜你为师,这不,还算是挺有诚意的吧。”高晓飞嘻嘻笑道。
  问天哭笑不得,骂道:“诚意你的头,我昨天就觉得你小子不正常!真是乱弹琴。”
  凯丽忍不住偷笑,对着雪莉、弗兰克和托雷斯说明情况,三个也都忍不住笑了起来。
  高晓飞笑着对那三个年轻人喊道:“All of you have to be sincere and shout after me:(你们要诚意十足,都跟着我喊:)师父!”
  那三个年轻人一齐学着他的样子,用中文对着他喊道:“师父!”
  高晓飞哭笑不得,蹬着脚笑骂道:“Who let you shout me?shout him shout him,shout master!Oh,stupid!(谁让你们喊我了?喊他喊他,喊师父!哎哟,真笨!)”
  “哈哈哈哈!”凯丽忍不住哈哈大笑。
  问天看了高晓飞一眼,笑骂道:“什么乱七八糟的,让他们回去吧。”说完当先走进了餐厅里。
  托雷斯弯腰看了看那三个年轻人,又侧身拍了拍高晓飞的肩膀,哈哈大笑,竖起大拇指喊道:“Chinese kung fu,I want to learn it,too.(中国功夫,我也想学。)”和弗兰克一起,跟着问天走了进去。
  那三个年轻人见问天走了,一齐怔怔地看着高晓飞:“The master!The teacher walked.(师父!师父走了。)”
  高晓飞笑骂道:“You're a lot dumber than I am.I'm surprised he doesn't leave!(你们比我笨多了,他不走才怪!)”
  凯丽笑道:“我倒要看看,你怎么下台?”
  高晓飞眼珠一转,对着那三个年轻人招了招手:“You come over.(你们过来。)”
  三人一下子走到了他的面前。
  高晓飞指着凯丽说:“This beauty is your sister,call fairy sister.(这位美女是你们的师姐,快叫仙女师姐。)”
  “The fairy the teacher elder sister!(仙女师姐!)”三个年轻人一齐对着凯丽躹躬。
  高晓飞又指着自己说:“说中文,师兄,师兄。”
  “说中文,师兄!”三人用不伦不类的中文跟着高晓飞一字不漏地说了出来,又对着他躹了一躬,惹得凯丽和雪莉一个劲地大笑不止。
  “有必要这么笨嘛!”高晓飞对着三人叹了一声,又一本正经地说,“My master said,if you really want to learn Chinese kung fu,you have to clean up your act and be a good person.When he accepts you,he will accept you.(我师父说了,你们要真想学中国功夫呢,就得先要改邪归正,洗心革面,好好做人,到了他认可的时候,自然就会收你们了。)”
  三人一齐点头,却又面面相觑,有点儿垂头丧气的样子。
  高晓飞眼珠子一转,忽又笑道:“Nevertheless,you also need not too dampen,I this fellow student elder brother,also can replace a teacher to teach you first two recruit of,but,you in the future can take out sincerity.(不过呢,你们也不用太丧气了,我这个师兄呢,也可以代替师父先行教你们两招的,但是,你们往后可得拿出诚意来。)”
  三人大喜,齐声欢呼。
  大家又商量了半天,充分分析好航海的事宜,然后由弗兰克和托雷斯分头去购置物品,包括了要购置必要的武器装备,以防万一遇上海盗。问天四人对于航海的情况不太熟悉,所以就留在餐厅里补习一下航海的功课,或自由活动。
  吃过了中餐后,问天看到他们看书也看得累的了,就说:“晓飞!凯丽!你们要是闷了,就和雪莉一起出去逛逛吧,这两天的时间可以好好地玩一玩墨西哥城。”
  “老大真是开恩啊!”高晓飞兴奋得大声呼喊。
  “老爸!你不和我们一起出去吗?”
  “我今天不出去了,你们去吧,注意安全。”
  “放心吧,老大!”高晓飞忽哨一声,对着凯丽和雪莉一招手,三人背上摄影包,一起走出了餐厅。
  “嗯,我们去哪里玩?”凯丽拍了拍高晓飞的肩膀。
  “仙女!你就放心吧。”高晓飞拿出手机,拨通了一个号码,问道:“Carlos!We want to go out to play,but don't know where to play,how to do?(卡洛斯!我们要出去玩,可是不知道哪里好玩,怎么办?)”
  电话那头的卡洛斯大喜过望,连声说道:“师兄!Just a minute.Ochoa and negrete and I will be there to pick you up(你们等一会,我和奥乔亚还有内格雷特马上过去接你们。)”
  凯丽挨着头笑问道:“行啊!这卡洛斯又是谁?”
  高晓飞笑道:“就是我们的那三个小师弟啊。”
  凯丽忍不住笑了出来:“挺能的嘛。”
  高晓飞哈哈大笑:“必须的。”
  三人结伴刚走到路口,一辆面包车“吱”的一声停在了面前。
  卡洛斯、奥乔亚和内格雷特一齐跳下车,用不伦不类的中文对着高晓飞和凯丽恭恭敬敬地喊道:“师兄!师姐!”又用英文对着雪莉喊,“Miss Shirley!(雪莉小姐!)”
  “A:wow!You three are too ashamed to drive this stupid car to pick up the fairy sister and miss Shirley!(哇!你们三个也太好意思了,居然开这破车来接仙女师姐和雪莉小姐!)”高晓飞指着面包车大声喊道。
  “No,no,no,we,we'll change it next time.(不不不,我们,我们下次一定换一辆。)”卡洛斯被吓得连声解释。
  高晓飞哈哈大笑:“Scare you.That's good.Let's go.(吓你的,这就挺好,出发。)”
  往后的连续两天里,卡洛斯、奥乔亚和内格雷特都带着他们玩转墨西哥城,待人接物也都有了很大的转变,当初那种流里流气的街头流氓样基本上都看不到了,这让大家对他们也都另眼相看。
  在墨西哥城的最后一天晚上,问天正和弗兰克在楼上聊天。托雷斯从楼下走了上来,对问天说:“Xiao eldest brother!I've arranged for carlos and the three of them to stay at the restaurant to help.They need people at the restaurant anyway.(萧大哥!我已经安排好了,就让卡洛斯他们三个人留在餐厅里帮忙,反正餐厅里也需要人手。)”
  问天连忙起身道谢:“Torres!!!Thank you very much.With this job,maybe they won't go down the wrong path again.(托雷斯!谢谢你!有了这份工作,也许,他们就不会再次走入歧途了。)”
  托雷斯耸耸肩膀,摇了摇头说:“No,no,no,brother shaw!You should have taught us three good employees,thank you!Thank you very much!(不不不,萧大哥!应该是你为我们教出了三个好员工,谢谢!谢谢!)”(未完待续)
