Xiao Baihe understood the meaning of Chen Jie's words, turned her head and stared at Chen Jie's profile.
"Well, this is the only way. If we're lucky, maybe we can float back. If we're not lucky..." Chen Jie didn't say the rest of the words, but his meaning was already clear.
"It's okay, captain, as long as you are here, I'm not afraid of anything."
Xiao Baihe smiled sweetly at Chen Jie, with a fearless look on her face, which instantly warmed up Chen Jie's heart.
"Okay, in that case, let's take action and leave this guy as soon as possible. Maybe we can go home early."
Chen Jie was relieved instantly. God's will was like this, and they couldn't resist it.
The two people smiled at each other, and the next second they lay down together facing the sea water.
Thump thump thump thump
The two sounds of water entering the water made Xiao Baihe feel relieved. She reached out and grasped the vine tightly, as if she was holding Chen Jie's hand.
Xiao Baihe thought she would be immersed in the water, but she didn't expect that with branches as floating objects, her whole body was floating lightly on the water.
Looking at the gray sky, Xiao Baihe was a little shocked, and finally understood Chen Jie's intention just now. It turned out that he wanted to use branches as life jackets.
The captain is the captain, and he is really smart.
"Lily, how do you feel now?"
Chen Jie, who is very good at water, just floated on the sea and did not sink in order to eliminate Xiao Baihe's fear.
"Captain, I can really float on the water, it's so cool."
Xiao Baihe said excitedly, feeling like a fish now, able to swim freely in the water.
Boom boom boom
Several muffled thunders sounded, and then the rain suddenly started, and strong winds blew up, shaking the calm seaside, and the waves came one after another.
The two of them kept swaying along the waves, and Xiao Lily gradually felt that she was a little exhausted, and even felt a little nauseous from being beaten by the waves.
"Captain, how are you?"
Xiao Baihe endured the churning feeling in her stomach and wanted to know Chen Jie's current condition.
Chen Jie frowned and looked at the thunder in the sky, unable to open his eyes due to the heavy rain.
"Lily, I'm fine, how about you?"
After Chen Jie finished speaking, he only felt a huge wave, which directly swept the two people away.
Chen Jie only felt his waist tighten, and the next second his body was pulled directly.
"Ah..." Xiao Lily exclaimed, and her relaxed mood suddenly became tense. She felt that her body was sinking continuously, and her head was constantly being submerged by the sea water.
Xiao Baihe was unprepared for a moment and choked on her water several times. Her lungs were filled with water and she felt it was difficult to breathe.
"Lily, open your eyes quickly."
Chen Jie picked up Xiao Baihe from the water, reached out and pinched Xiao Baihe's face, trying to wake her up.
"Captain, I...cough...cough cough..." Before Xiao Baihe could finish her words, she coughed violently and spit out fishy, salty sea water from her mouth.
"Lily, don't be impatient, vomit slowly."
Chen Jie gently patted Xiao Baihe's back and asked Xiao Baihe to stand up so that her body could stand in the water.
Although there is no ground under my feet, it is quite easy to stand up with the branches as floating objects.
"I'm feeling much better, Captain."
The area above Xiao Baihe's chest/mouth was exposed to the water, and her breathing became much easier, not as embarrassing as just now.
"We can't continue to float like this, we have to find a way out by ourselves."
Chen Jie looked around and pointed to the location closest to him. There was a piece of land somewhere, and it was surrounded by mountains. Maybe it could serve as a habitat.
People cannot always soak in the sea water, as it will cause serious injuries, and the internal organs are often squeezed/compressed by the sea water and will be damaged. Therefore, the best way at present is to find a place to go ashore as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you want, captain."
Xiao Baihe nodded, feeling that his brain no longer listened to him, and he no longer even knew how to think about the next thing.
"Don't be afraid, just follow me and swim slowly."
Chen Jie comforted Xiao Baihe, and then took Xiao Baihe to swim into the sea.
Xiao Lily relaxed her body and lay flat on the sea. She hugged the branches tightly with her hands and feet, feeling like she was being dragged away, although there would be huge waves of sea water hitting her face from time to time.
But this is better than letting her swim alone.
Chen Jie's water quality was very good, so he didn't find it difficult to drag Xiao Baihe alone, and he swam to his destination in a short time.
After helping Xiao Baihe ashore, the strong wind blew past them, making the two of them shiver.
There's no way around it, the weather here is changeable. When it's hot, it can kill people, and when it's cold, it can be unbearable.
"Captain, let's go back to the sea?
It’s much warmer in the sea.”
Xiao Baihe folded his arms and his voice was slightly trembling.
Chen Jie looked around, pointed at the location of a black hole, and spoke excitedly.
"Lily, let's go to that cave quickly."
After saying that, Chen Jie directly took Xiao Baihe's hand and ran towards the cave.
Xiao Baihe looked at the two people holding hands and felt a little excited. The captain had taken the initiative to hold her hand several times today. She was really happy.
The two people came to the entrance of the cave. Chen Jie looked at the dark cave inside, quickly picked up the stones on the ground, and dug into it.
dong dong dong
A few crisp sounds made Chen Jie overjoyed, and he directly pulled Xiao Baihe towards the cave.
"Captain, why does it feel so eerie here?"
Xiao Baihe followed Chen Jie to the entrance of the cave, but did not dare to go any further.
Chen Jie also stopped and turned around, saw Lily Xiao's frightened look, and smiled.
"Don't be afraid, let's take shelter here and swim back when the rain stops. This will make it easier for us to identify the direction."
"good."
When Xiao Baihe heard Chen Jie say that there was no need to go inside, her tense body relaxed, and the heart hanging in her throat was put into her stomach.
"There is no way to light a fire now. Let's make do with it for now. I will always be by your side."
Chen Jie was afraid that Xiao Baihe would be scared, so he directly pulled Xiao Baihe to sit down.
The two of them looked at the heavy rain outside the cave, feeling a little complicated.
Obviously I just wanted to go to the beach to find some food, but I didn't expect to encounter a big guy like an ancient monitor lizard. It was really a bit depressing.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, with no intention of stopping.
Xiao Baihe's physical strength was a little too much, and she was a little drowsy at this time. She kept nodding her head, and her body began to sway constantly, and she almost fell down several times.
Seeing this, Chen Jie smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Baihe's shoulder, and asked her to lean on his shoulder.
