They were very lucky. At noon the next day, the scenery in the distance became clearly visible. It must have been that the unknown monster left, and even the air became cleaner. Qi Huan rolled his hands into a tube, and
The bank looked at it for a long time and murmured:
"It doesn't seem to be very far..."
"Don't be careless." Bai Ya also looked over, "Who knows what might happen at sea. Moreover, the direction of the current and wind are uncertain. If there is an accident, there is no way to retreat."
Qi Huan let go of his hand and looked at him like a monster.
"I can't believe, Lao Bai, when did your critical thinking ability become so strong?"
"……are you crazy."
"I thought you only knew how to fight and kill."
Jun Aoyan was also standing on the shore. There was no wind today. Although the scenery in the distance was clearly visible, the sky was a little cloudy.
"It looks calm on the surface, but it always gives people a bad feeling." She thought and looked over there, "Are there some outlines of ships over there? I can't see clearly."
Qi Huan shook his head: "I don't know. It might be the rocks on the shore, or it might be a boat. But if it's a boat... that should be their dock, right?"
"It may also be left behind by people who once landed on the island." Bai Ya said.
"Ah...that's right."
They had a brief discussion and finally agreed that it was not suitable to go to sea at the moment. It was really hard for them to have a good discussion on life-threatening matters and not act out of emotion. The only thing that was certain was that if they wanted to leave this uninhabited place,
A decent boat is essential to the island. What kind of boat can sail this distance safely? Based on visual inspection alone, assuming the water flow is stable, it will take at least an hour to paddle across. What’s worse is that the current water level is
The flow is towards them, so going against the sea is really a challenging plan.
"It would be great if someone knew how to divide the sea..." Qi Huan joked and looked back at them. The two of them were staring directly at him. He frowned, feeling a little unhappy.
"What are you doing? What are you looking at? I don't know how to do this."
"It's okay to divide it up."
"Me too."
"..." Qi Huan rolled his eyes. The two of them were surprisingly consistent in terms of fighting and killing. "I know a little bit about Yin and Yang, but Xiaohe can do it, but Hai can forget it."
No matter what kind of ship is made of wood, they discussed looking for suitable wood in the afternoon. There was no need to cut down trees, because even the remaining remains of the original ship were enough for them to build a small boat. However, the curvature of the bottom of the ship was limited.
Raising the side of a boat with limited tools risks water leakage.
When they were tossing on the shore in the afternoon, the three of them were very tired and often argued over differences of opinion. In the end, they were all tired and lay beside a puddle of semi-finished products, bored and blown by the sea breeze.
Qi Huan stood barefoot by the water, and the sea water repeatedly lapped at the edge of his rolled-up trouser legs. He looked at the destination with some emotion. Unexpectedly, this short distance became an insurmountable obstacle. As for the flow of the sea water, he also observed the direction of the sea water.
It's been a long time, but I don't have any clue. For a long time, the water has been rushing this way. How much strength does it take to swing the oar to move forward? Let alone move forward, it's difficult even if it doesn't get slapped back. The sea water here
The depth is also unknown, and the anchor is not that easy to make. Besides, there is no place to find such a long rope.
"……ah?"
Qi Huan made a very strange sound. Bai Ya sat up with all his strength and looked at where he was looking.
"What's the ghost's name?"
"Is there anyone on the shore over there?"
Bai Ya suddenly stood up, and Jun Aoyan also stood up. They all looked over, rolled up their hands, and gathered the light together. Sure enough, there were several points moving on the shore - many points, and there was an indescribable order.
.Although some are scattered, there are also some that are relatively concentrated, with a small group of concentrated ones close together. The scattered ones move in an unnatural way.
Then, an obvious square-shaped object was pushed into the water. There were also two points on it. From this, it seemed that it was probably something like a bamboo raft. Is there anyone building such a thing out there? On the sea
?Where are they going?
They kept staring in that direction, and their eyes were a little sore. They looked at it for a while, but couldn't figure out the reason. After taking a break, the three of them started working again. Instead of guessing what it was, it was better to find a way to get closer to the answer. Intermittently
After working hard until the afternoon, the pile of scraps in my hands finally looked like a boat.
Relative to this uninhabited island, it was the moment of high tide, and the water level had spread to the place where they were building the ship. Qi Huan and Ao Yan first started to drag the embryonic ship in for a long distance. If they finally built it,
If a good "life-saving straw" just drifts away with the tide, wouldn't it be a failure of success?
Bai Ya straightened up and shook his head like an old man. He looked at the sea, his expression becoming solemn for some reason.
"The raft is fine," he said, "and it's close."
"What?"
The other two people stood up at the same time, and Qi Huan almost ducked. They all ran forward a few steps, their legs soaked in the water. Bai Ya was right, the "square" was much closer to them, and its outline was clearly visible.
, it is indeed a complete raft. There are two people sitting on it - maybe two children. They are sitting on the large raft, looking a little at a loss. The three of them can't see their expressions clearly. The current sea water
Compared with the ups and downs in the morning, the two children seemed to be very scared.
"Young Master Bai!!"
Ao Yan suddenly exclaimed. Qi Huan immediately turned around and found that Bai Ya had disappeared, but there was a group of dark clothes and scattered Yin and Yang scimitars on the beach. Qi Huan ran over to pick them up and saw that he was wearing single clothes on the sea.
Jumping into the sea, he swam very fast, as nimble as a fish, and his previous appearance of middle-aged and elderly people was gone.
"Hey! Bai Ya!" Qi Huan shouted anxiously, "Can you save me? Just..."
He did not finish his words because the sound of the waves had already covered his voice. Aoyan also looked worried:
"This...if something happens, I don't know if he can handle it. If the raft capsizes, even those who are good at water will easily be drowned..."
Under the control of survival instinct, people will not let go of anything they catch. If you don't have the relevant abilities, you can lose your life no matter how good you are. The two of them knew it very well, but they didn't dare to act rashly.
, just staring in that direction with concern. The two of them stood by the half-finished boat, ready to go out and fish for people if something unexpected happened. They didn't know if this was possible.
Bai Ya's water quality was stronger than they thought. They saw that he quickly came into contact with the drifting raft, and the two children behaved differently. One of them stepped back timidly, while the other swelled.
Courage lay on the edge of the raft and said something to him face to face. Then, Bai Ya went around behind the raft, grabbed it with both arms, and swam hard towards the island. Under the action of the rising tide, the raft was quickly pushed over.
The other two people rushed to help.
They were two children of thirteen or fourteen years old.
They all wore double buns and matching sets of golden clothes. The clothes were wet with water and the material could not be seen. Qi Huan touched it and immediately judged that it was fine silk and satin. The white single clothes stuck to Bai Ya's body, and he was neat
He took it off and wringed out the water. When Aoyan handed the coat to him, she noticed that his lean body was covered with strange scars. Bai Ya took it and put it on his body hastily without saying anything. Jun Ao
Although Yan didn't ask, she was very concerned - those wounds were very different from the stab wounds and gunshot wounds left on the Zongheng battlefield. There were fine holes and discolored patches of skin, which might have been corroded. She was curious, but that was not the time to ask.
when.
The boy was a little timid and kept cowering behind the girl. Qi Huan whispered to Bai Ya:
"Their clothes are of very good quality and fine workmanship. Perhaps they are brought from within the Southern Kingdom. The Southern Kingdom may be much larger than we thought."
"Help me bake it later."
Bai Ya didn't answer, and threw the wringed clothes "stick" to Qi Huan, then reached out and asked him for a knife. Qi Huan took the clothes in surprise, gave him the knife in an awkward posture, and asked
:
"No, you don't think, you don't think..."
"Guess what the girl asked me first?" Bai Ya gave the answer himself, "She asked me if I was Lord Poseidon."
"Lord Poseidon?"
Jun Aoyan also sounded baffled. She had been dealing with big men in the military all year round and was not very good at dealing with children. She crouched down to appear friendly, but her tone of voice was still a bit fierce when she spoke.
"What's your name?"
The boy was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak. The girl bravely protected him behind her, straightened her chest and replied:
"My name is Xiaojie! He is Xiaoju, my younger brother."
"Tell me, why are you at sea?"
"Hey, please pass on..." Qi Huan couldn't stand it anymore, "You are too cruel, interrogating prisoners."
Only then did Jun Aoyan notice that although the girl who called herself Xiaojie looked brave, there were already tears in the corners of her eyes. She was a little at a loss and stupidly stepped aside. She looked at what Qi Huan had just observed.
There were many colorful things left on the raft. She also squatted down and did the same thing as Qi Huan: picked it up and looked. Some of the colorful fragments were already translucent. They felt soft and soft when pinched.
Just broken. Although it smelled odorless, Aoyan judged that these were flowers.
Although Bai Ya didn't speak, his eyes kept falling on the two children. They must be native islanders, because they had a faint accent that he had never heard before. After traveling around the world for so many years,
He could tell where this kid's hometown was as soon as he opened his mouth. Only these two children had an accent that he had never heard before, and they seemed to belong to the southern country.
There were strange patterns tattooed on their clothes, a style he had never seen before. The background color was gold, with many fine blue lines embroidered on the edges, and red eye-like patterns.
Looking at their eyes again - Aoyan couldn't help but frown. They were obviously two children, but their expressions were filled with unspeakable hostility.
