I quickly called to the others, "Laoshui Xiaofeng, hurry, hurry, row forward. If you continue like this, we will be scattered."
Lao Shui said reluctantly, "Oh, Mr. Jin, how long will it take to row with your hands? Isn't this a waste of energy?"
"If you are talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will throw you into the sea to feed the fishes?" I immediately got angry. This damn old water, compared to Tie Mian, he is nothing.
"I'm just telling the truth. The ice is so big, how long will it take to paddle it with my hands?" Lao Shui was still a little unconvinced and spoke rather arrogantly.
"Brother Shui, just listen to Mr. Jin. We can't do this and wait to die. Come on." Finally, under Xiaofeng's persuasion, Lao Shui joined us in paddling forward with our hands.
But he was right, this was indeed a hard job. We paddled with our hands for a long time, but we didn't see how far we had gone. Mai Lao and the others were still in the distance, but we were walking with them.
The distance between the big men has become even closer, but there is really no way to go on like this. I also feel a headache, the ice is melting, and I can feel that in less than half an hour, we will have to go to the sea to feed the fish.
We are almost exhausted and have no strength to paddle with our hands at all. This is not in a pond, but in the sea. The force of the waves can knock us back to our original shape. Even I am a little discouraged now.
.
"No, Mr. Jin, I can't row anymore. I really can't row anymore. I'm so tired that my arms are about to break." Lao Shui turned over and lay on the ice. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely and out of breath.
Despicable.
"I can't do it anymore, I'm too tired." Xiaofeng couldn't row anymore. We didn't have much physical strength to begin with, and what we had left was almost exhausted in just a short while.
Mantou yelled from the opposite side, "Zhongyi, we just met, can't we just die like this? I still want to live for a few more days, haha." At this point, he can still laugh out loud, it can be seen that
Steamed Bun has also thought a lot and is not as stubborn as before.
I sat up, waved my hand and said, "Don't worry, we can meet even if we are dead. Then we will meet at the Palace of the King of Hell and get drunk before we retire." I also started teasing, since this is the case anyway, what else is there to do?
The one who is struggling.
"That's right, what are you afraid of? The worst we can do is die together. We will still have a companion when we get down there, so we can still get together. If the King of Hell refuses to accept it, I will smash his hall." The big man stood up and pulled his neck.
shouted.
I'm somewhat excited to see them again. If we hadn't broken the magic circle, our previous meeting might have been a farewell. No matter what, we can still see each other. Although life or death is uncertain, at least there is still a trace.
hope.
"Brother Yi...I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Shunzi waved to me and shouted. It could be heard that he was really feeling guilty, and his voice was choked. This big boy finally returned to normal. In fact, as long as he is okay,
, I felt at ease.
I didn't say anything, I just waved my hand to show that I heard his shout. Mr. Mai and the others were rowing hard towards us, but no matter how hard they tried, the distance could not be said to be getting closer, and it would remain the same as long as it remained unchanged.
It's great. The images of them are getting blurry. When they run out of energy, the waves will definitely separate us, and we won't even have room to struggle.
"Zhongyi, are you afraid?" Li Xin asked in a low voice next to me.
I looked at the deep blue sea in front of me, then looked up at the dark sky, and laughed to myself, "I'm scared, I'm scared. What's the use of being scared? Life and death are fateful, and no one can change it."
"Yes, in this sea, we are just grains of sand. We cannot stir up any big winds or waves at all." She turned around and sat back to back with me.
I turned my head and asked, "Li Xin, if... we can survive this time, or... after this trip to sea is over, what are your plans?"
Li Xin shook his head, "No, I haven't thought about this problem yet. This plan won't change quickly. Just take it one step at a time. What about you? What are your plans?"
Just when I was about to speak, I suddenly felt the sun shining on me. I looked up and saw that the sky had turned a little bit brighter than before. I was surprised. This might be a good thing. Soon,
The whole sky full of dark clouds disappeared, the blue sky and white clouds returned again, and the sun was right above our heads. I don't even remember how long it had been since I saw the sun. It was really comfortable. I like days with sunshine.
When the warm sunshine shines on the ocean, the deep blue water also turns blue. The sea breeze blows gently, and everything seems to have returned to normal. At this time, the sea is no longer scary, on the contrary, it is
Beautiful. It would be even more perfect if there were a few seagulls flying overhead. Since arriving at the Ice City, I can’t remember how long it has been since I saw this scene. The blue sky and sea, I really miss it.
.
"Li Xin, look...the sun is out and the sky is clear. Maybe we don't have to die." I was somewhat excited. As long as there is sunshine, there is hope.
"Haha... the sun is out, the sun is out, we don't have to die, we don't have to die." The big man stood up, raised his arms high, and roared excitedly.
The sunshine immediately changed our mood, and I could clearly see Mai Lao and the others in the distance. Everyone was in high spirits. Although we may not be saved, the appearance of the sun can bring us some relief.
Come to hope.
Jiao Ba and Chang Shan kept waving their hands, and Jiao Ba shouted, "Brother Yi, do you have... eggs?" Since the distance was a bit far away, I couldn't hear clearly what he was shouting. I could only hear the word "egg".
Vaguely.
"What egg? Can any of you hear clearly what he shouted?" I turned back to the others and asked.
"He asked if you have any flares." Li Xin looked at me and replied.
I sneered, "How can I have any flares? Besides, it's a sunny day, so it's no use having flares. Those are for calling for help at night. Do you have any?"
Li Xin and the others said no. My backpack was still with Mai Lao. I knew exactly what was in it. I quickly waved to Jiao Ba to tell him that we didn’t have that thing.
This excitement lasted for a short time, and we were dead silent again. Even if there was sunshine, it would be in vain. Without a boat, we would still be dead. The only thing I regret is that before traveling, I should have brought a life jacket. At least I would be able to survive if I fell into the sea.
It can be dealt with for a while.
"Zhongyi, this big ice block is about to melt, what should we do?" Li Xin asked in horror.
Only then did I notice that the ice was completely covered with sea water. It seemed that it was melting faster than I expected. I pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay. Don't be nervous. It's okay even if you go into the sea. As long as
If we don’t scatter, we will have hope of living.”
"Forget it, Mr. Jin, you don't need to comfort us. If we really fall into the sea, we are basically not far from death." Lao Shui said dejectedly, not even bothering to raise his head.
"Don't worry, brother Shui, we won't die." Xiaofeng suddenly grabbed Lao Shui's shoulders and said seriously.
I quickly comforted him, "Yes, yes, we will not die. There is still hope."
At this time, Xiaofeng looked at me and said excitedly, "What I said is true, we really won't die. Look over there." He stretched out his hand and pointed behind me.
I quickly turned around to look, and then I noticed that in the sea a few hundred meters in front of us, there seemed to be a big thing moving towards us. It looked like a ship.
"That...what is that thing?" I pointed to the front and asked a little stuttering. It was because I was excited, but I already knew in my heart that it must be a ship.
"It's a ship, loyalty is a ship, we can be saved, we can be saved." Li Xin suddenly jumped up, and she hugged me.
But her jump didn't matter, she slipped and fell directly into the sea, taking Lao Shui and me with her. After we surfaced, we heard the big guy and the others shouting wildly, "
There is a boat, there is a boat ahead, hey, there is someone here, there is someone here, help, help."
Mai Lao and the others were also shouting, "Hey, hey...here, here..."
Soon, the image of the ship became clearer and clearer, and it was only a few dozen meters away. Only then did I see clearly that this was actually Martin's ship. In other words, it was our own ship. This was simply
I was so lucky. I thought it was a passing ship. I never thought it would be our own ship. It seems that everything is caused by the barrier. The distance between us and the ship should not be far. Once the ice city is broken, it will naturally be
will find us.
Li Xin looked at me and said with a smile, "Zhongyi, it's Martin's ship. That's great. We are finally saved. It's over. Everything is over."
I put my arms around her shoulders in the sea and said, "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be lucky. But... it's not over yet. Don't forget, we haven't found the main ship yet. It may be under this sea area."
, that’s what we came here for.”
"You're right, I almost forgot about this. It seems the danger is not over yet." Li Xin glanced at me and smiled bitterly.
Martin's big boat was getting closer and closer to us. At this time, I saw a few people standing on the bow of the boat. The first person was very familiar to me. It was Lao Wu, the middle-aged man whom I once rescued in the sea.
.
The big ship stopped at this time, and it stopped near Mai Lao and the others. The life ladder was then lowered. I saw that Mai Lao and the others had already started to board the ship. After they got on the ship, the big ship started moving again, heading towards us.
Bian came over.
The big man shouted excitedly, "I knew we wouldn't die, haha, loyalty, we won again."
"We survived." Steamed Bun also shouted after him. Shunzi and Shaoyu were also excited. Being alive is the best gift from God.
