Our Journey to a Secret
Pui Ching Primary School, Ching, Hin Shing Bernard - 10
Hi, I am Leung Hao , Captain of The United . I have dedicated my life to give food, water and
money to the poor people. Come with me to join one of our most exciting journey. We were heading to
our ship. We stepped on the ship with our right feet because we thought it would be lucky.
We needed to go to Jolia Island to find our enemy Lao Kiu to reveal his secret.
“Ahoy, Matey,” yelled the quarter master, Leung .
After all of us stepped in, the crew started to chat.
“Avast ye, ” I shouted, “L ots of people need us. We must do it.”
The helmsman, Lee, steered the wheel and off we went. The sea was calm and quiet that day.
Suddenly, a man dressed in old clothes jumped on our ship and attacked us. All of us took out our
cutlasses and attacked back. It was a tough battle. At last, we tied him up and I yelled, “ Get rid of him !”
So, Leung pushed him into the rough sea.
But as soon as Leung killed the man, the sea brewed up a storm. Huge waves splashed on us. Lee
tried to control the ship but he could not. Suddenly, a sea serpent appeared. We used our cannons to shoot
it but it just swallowed the cannon balls and grew bigger. So, Lee steer ed our ship away and we escaped
with great difficulty.
We disembarked on Inohect Island. We knew that there were a lot of robbers wanting to ste a l
gold, so it was time for some work. We hid in the ship to observe the surroundings. We saw thieves that
stole food, water and money from the poor people. We charged out and used our pistols to shoot the
thieves but all of them missed. We used the last pack of our bullets and we hit the target at last. T he thieves
died. We gave the things that had been stolen back to the poor people.
An old lady t hanked us and gave us some spears in return. “ These special spears have
unpredictable powers ,” she whispered in my ear.
We started our journey again. Suddenly, we saw Lao Kiu and his gang. As we were about to start
a fight, there came a storm. Lao ’s gang was scared, so they turned and ran away. We chased after them and
used our cannons to shoot them. But they used magic to take the cannon balls away. Now we knew that
there was a sorcerer in their gang, we had to be more careful. I asked Leung , Biao and Yeung observe
the surroundings. They each came back with information. Leung said he heard that Lao was actually my
father . Biao said it was true and the only reason Lao wanted to attack me was because he wanted me to
join him. Yeung said it was all true and he even heard that the sorcerer was actually my uncle .
I was so shocked. Three years ago, I thought my dad and my uncle had died. I had to find out
what happened. We followed them until we arrived at Jolia Island. This time I asked Lee, Wong and Yao
to sneak in and spy on them. They came back and told me that my Dad’s base was The Lava, but we needed
to use a password to get in.
I remembered when I was young, Dad always said , “Haga Yajia!”
So, when Lee and I reached the gate at The Lava, I said, “Haga Yajia!” The gate opened. We
needed to sneak in in disguise. Just as we were thinking of what to do, the sp ears glowed and changed us
into servant costumes. We joined the gang and served them food.
Lao said, ‘Thank you, my dear dear son.” I was shocked at that moment. I thought my uncle had
used magic to see through our brains, but I did not say a word. When we went back to our room, Lee told
me that Lao says this to every servant.
Just then, Lao ’s guards knocked on our door and asked for our names. We quickly thought of a
name to tell them and they went away. A moment later, they came back and asked us to follow them. They
took us to Lao . He asked, “Is your name Lei Ming ?” That was the name I told the guards. “Yes,” I
answered. “Do you know who I am?” Lao asked. “ Lao Kiu .” I answered. “Send them to the dungeon
immediately!” Lao roared and the guards dragged us to the dungeon. On the way to the dungeon, Lee
whispered, “no one here knows his name.”
When we arrived at the dungeon, there was nothing except darkness.
“ I am Leung Hao !” I shouted.
I was not sure if they heard me, but a moment later, Lao came in.
