The dense forest climbs twists and turns and goes deep for about four or five miles. It is Lin Fu's new camping ground. It is a valley on the hillside that is slightly lower than the surrounding areas. There is a gap in the south of the valley, and down there is the forest slope that extends directly to the beach;
Fu stood on the rock at the mouth of the valley and looked out at the sea in the distance. He estimated that the position he was standing on was only fifteen or six feet higher than the sea.
The island mountain/is already low, and Lin Fu and the others did not expect to have caves to hide people on the island. Fortunately, it has not rained in the past few days, otherwise the broken thatched huts would not be a problem at all; but good luck
When the time comes, it rains heavily the night Lin Fu enters the forest.
Lin Fu woke up from the heavy rain in his sleep in the middle of the night. He and everyone hid under a tall tree with dense leaves to take shelter from the rain. It seemed that the rain would not stop for a while, and the rain continued to drip through the dense branches and leaves.
After falling down, Lin Fu took off his leather armor and coat, handed them to Su Mei and Xiaoman, and asked them to put their coats on their bodies and use the leather armor as a shelter.
Su Mei saw that Lin Fu was only wearing a thin double-breasted shirt and wanted to return the coat to him.
"You guys are wearing it. This rain won't stop for a while, and the whole island will be soaked. It will be difficult to light a fire to keep warm when the rain stops. If you get sick, no one can take care of you." Lin Fu said without explanation.
The two women put their coats on their bodies. He was worried that the two women were the weakest and would be a big trouble if they got caught in the rain on a deserted island with no medical treatment. In addition, Lin Fu was also worried about Fu Qinghe. Fu Qinghe was seriously injured and the wound had not healed yet.
After working hard for several days, he was actually quite exhausted. When he saw that he was about to take off his coat and give it to him, he stopped him and said, "I have to rely on Master Fu at the critical moment. My body can bear it."
He stood there until dawn and the rain stopped. No matter how thick the branches and leaves were, Lin Fu's thin clothes were soaked by the rain. The autumn in September was not cold at all, but the muddy water soaked Lin Fu.
I was shivering with cold, and it felt much colder than being directly immersed in water.
As soon as the rain stopped, Chen Enze and other young men went out to look for dry branches. They had little hope. When it was daylight, Hu Qiaozhong stumbled back with a young man, shouting as they walked: "There is a cave ahead..."
Lin Fu didn't expect there to be caves on the island. After all, the island mountain was too short, more than 20 feet and less than 90 meters high. It was impossible for Fu Qinghe to cover the entire island's terrain in just three days.
At that time, the desert island was soaked by heavy rain, and it was extremely difficult to find a dry place. At this time, everyone was very surprised to hear that a cave had been discovered.
It is better to say that it is a cave than a stone cave. It is located at the junction of the slope and the cliff. It is very shallow. There are grass, vines and shrubs along the road. Hu Qiaozhong originally thought that there would be some dry branches and dry grass on the edge of the cliff that the rain could not reach, which would bring people along.
I crawled over on my hands and feet and found this cave. My palms were scratched by thorns, but I didn't feel any pain.
The cave is not big, about seven or eight feet deep. It is like a stone hall. It can easily accommodate thirty or fifty people to take shelter from the rain. There is also a thick layer of dead branches and leaves piled in the crevices, which are not wet by the rain. At this time,
Not caring about the possibility of attracting passing pirates by lighting fires and raising smoke, most of the people's clothes were soaked by the rain, and they desperately needed to light a fire to keep warm. They used a fire sickle to light dead branches and rotten leaves, sat around the blazing open fire, and boiled hot water to eat.
After eating dry food and dried meat, Lin Fu recovered.
This side is more than three to four feet higher than the valley. Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can see that the small pond that was only two or three acres last night has accumulated rainwater and its area has increased dozens of times, turning it into an island lake with a size of hundreds of acres.
It's just that the terrain at the mouth of the valley slopes downwards, which cannot stop the accumulated water. At this time, you can hear the sound of water flowing out of the valley. It doesn't take half a day to think that the lake in front of you will disappear and turn into a small pond again.
Hearing someone coming from behind, Lin Fu looked back and saw that it was Su Mei. He pointed at the mouth of the valley and smiled and said to her: "Building a dam there to store the rainwater can completely solve the island's water source problem -
--It is also quite simple to implement. The trees at the mouth of the valley are thick and dense. Weave a bamboo fence to connect them and fill them with earth and rocks. Then the dam can be built. When building the dam, the valley can be dug deep, and the time required is not counted.
many……"
"Ah, Mr. Lin also knows about water conservancy..." Su Mei asked.
"Uh..." Lin Fu thought that this method of building dams to store water should be regarded as common sense knowledge. Seeing Su Mei, he was quite surprised. He thought that at this time, because the way of spreading knowledge was limited by the times, future generations would no longer use it as common sense knowledge.
Knowledge is also a university subject here. Although water control has a history of thousands of years in this land, there are still very few people who are truly proficient in water conservancy.
"Students in Jiangning all say that Mr. Lin's writing is reluctant and that passing the provincial examination was a fluke. If they knew Mr. Lin's eagerness for justice and such a worldly talent, they would never say so; Su Mei was also shallow in the past.
Yes, I came here specifically to apologize to Mr. Lin."
Su Mei spoke sincerely, and what she said was also her true feeling. In the past seven or eight days, Lin Fu completely overturned the previous impression he had given her: How could he be a cowardly and incompetent scholar? He was obviously an admirable and strange man! Lin Fu
But Fu felt ashamed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Miss Su is serious. Miss Su has a righteous intention to spare money from me. She didn't know what to do before. It only caused Miss Su troubles. It's my fault."
Su Mei didn't expect that Lin Fu would talk about the past. She blushed slightly and said, "You want to blame me too..." He didn't say why he blamed her. She thought in her heart that he wanted to put aside the past and think of his previous obsession.
At that time, he would feel a little bored, but now he wanted to completely remove it, but he felt a little sad. Seeing Lin Fu staring at the mouth of the valley, seeming to be thinking about other things, Su Mei said goodbye and retreated, sitting with Xiaoman in the corner of the cave.
Inside, I occasionally glanced at Lin Fu's back at the entrance of the cave, and I couldn't help but compare him with Ming Zhe: Oh, how can you have such erratic thoughts?
Fu Qinghe was really exhausted these days. When he woke up, he lay on the haystack to rest his mind. Seeing Lin Fu talking to Su Mei, he thought about Lin Fu's attitude towards Su Mei these days, just like in a short message.
In just seven or eight days, he suddenly became enlightened, as if he suddenly broke through the emotional barrier. The look in his eyes when he looked at Su Mei no longer had the fascination before, but a little more appreciation and respect. To be honest, this made Fu Qinghe somewhat disappointed.
, the current Lin Fu in front of him was ten thousand times more pleasing to the eye than that Chen Mingzhe.
Although Chen Mingzhe is known as the best writer in Jiangdong, Fu Qinghe has always looked down upon Chen Mingzhe, but Miss He likes his articles.
Fu Qinghe wondered whether he should wait until he was out of danger and do some tricks to help the young lady and Lin Fu. He thought to himself that the quality of the article was of no avail. How could the real martial arts and martial arts be written in a few articles?
The heavy rain did not cause much trouble to everyone, and they also found temporary shelter.
Although there are no animals on the island, there are abundant marine fish and bird eggs. There are also many edible fruits such as golden cherry blossoms and edible wild vegetables such as field grass and chicory. Food and water sources are not a problem; at night, in the dense forest of leaves
Even if you light a fire in a dense valley, you are not afraid of the flames and the thick smoke will attract passing ships on the sea.
During the day, people would be sent to the cliff to look out. Lin Fu also tried his best to explain some knowledge of jungle survival to the young people. Fu Qinghe was in good health and had full energy after three days of rest. He had completely recovered and could only give
The young men explained some simple martial arts skills.
On the sixth day after entering the dense forest, the Yatou watch post saw a ship coming this way. This was already the twelfth day since Lin Fu and the others landed on the island.
Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe climbed up the cliff and took a look. The ship was a three-masted sea ship. It looked very similar to the pirate ship that robbed people on the Baishui River. However, it was too far away to be sure.
Lin Fu immediately asked someone to notify the people who picked fruits and wild vegetables to come back. He and Fu Qinghe had already discussed it. If there were few officers and soldiers from Ninghai Town, they would kill people and seize the boat. It would be much more convenient to leave the deserted island with a boat.
; If the opponent is too numerous to deal with, they will hide in the woods and not come out.
Let Su Mei, the two Xiaoman girls and a dozen younger boys stay in the valley, while Lin Fu, Fu Qinghe, Chen Enze, Hu Qiaozhong, Hu Qiaokou and other sixteen boys sneaked to the edge of the woods with weapons and bamboo spears.
Go. So far, they have only discovered that there is only such a hidden path that can lead to the valley deep in the forest, and they are not worried that the officers and soldiers of Ninghai Town can bypass them and find this place.
I sneaked to the edge of the forest and looked at the several thatched huts standing there quietly. The only traces they had were washed away by the heavy rain six days ago. The wind blew the flying flowers in the open space in front of the hay huts.
The grass was turning wildly. Occasionally, a group of seabirds would perch on the straw trellis, and then fly like arrows into the clear blue sky.
The small bay on the south side of the island is a natural haven. Most incoming ships will anchor in the notch bay. Lin Fu took Chen Enze and another agile boy and dived to the cliff on the west side of the notch bay.
Observe the enemy's situation and ask Fu Qinghe to lead Hu Qiaozhong, Hu Qiaoguan and other young men to ambush on the inside of the forest path.
The incoming boat was completely unaware of the man lying in the grass on the promontory. The people on the boat lowered the sail and held the pole against the rock to straighten the bow. Lin Fu and the two teenagers lay motionless in the grass, looking at the boat.
The bow of the ship slowly adjusted its direction and sailed toward the bay; the bow of the ship was only four or five feet away from them.
The empty silence in front of the straw hut did not arouse the suspicion of the people on board. It was not until the front bottom of the ship rushed to the shoal and anchored that a man with a sinister face stepped on the side of the ship and shouted in the direction of the straw hut: "Turtle sons.
, come out, no need to hide, it’s your Grandpa Chen who’s here! He’s hiding like a bitch, not even showing his tail! Why haven’t I discovered that you have this ability before? Ergouzi! On the island
Have you suppressed your boredom? Have you picked a few white and tender butt balls to vent your anger?" He laughed wildly "haha" again, and other people on the bow also laughed wildly. Before he could wait,
When the boat stopped, two people jumped into the shallow water by sliding ropes first...
After a while, there was no grass shed. Someone came out of the woods to respond. Then they felt something was strange. They put down the rope ladder, and three more people got off the boat. The five of them walked towards the silent grass shed with their weapons in hand.
"Do you want to seize the ship?" Chen Enze lay beside Lin Fu and asked in a low voice.
"Wait a little longer, be patient, wait until Master Fu leads those five people into the forest, and it won't be too late for us to take action again."
There were two people on the boat adjusting the sail. They were barefoot and had their trousers rolled up to their knees. Their faces were thin and turned purple by the sea breeze. They had no weapons at hand. As long as the five people who got off the boat first walked away, Lin Fu would be there.
He was confident to deal with the two people on the boat. He lay down patiently in the grass and waited, watching the five people who got off the boat walk into the thatched shed. He probably found the clues that Fu Qinghe and the others had deliberately left in the thatched shed, and stood in front of the thatched shed to discuss.
After a while, he walked towards the woods. Seeing the five people disappearing at the edge of the woods, Lin Fu and Chen Enze said, "Wait for my signal before coming back." They took the waist knife and bent down to hide in the waist-high grass.
, quickly ran towards the inside of the bay.
The rope ladder was not closed when the five people disembarked. Lin Fu climbed quickly along the rope ladder to the bow. The two people on the boat were retracting the cable at the stern and staring at the edge of the woods on the island. Through the half-lowered horizontal sail, they could not see anything at all.
I saw someone climbing out of the boat.
The mainsail was half lowered and still about one person high, blocking the view from both sides. Lin Fu listened to the voices of the two people at the stern of the boat, and then gestured to Chen Enze and the other boy to let them sneak over.
A fight suddenly broke out in the woods, and the birds living in the nearby woods fled in terror, shooting like a rain of arrows into the sky, and their eyes were filled with dark shadows.
Only then did the two people at the stern realize that something was wrong, and they hurriedly ran to the bow to put away the anchor and get ready. At first glance, they saw two teenagers standing at the bow of the boat with knives, and turned back to the stern to get the weapons. Unexpectedly, Lin
Fu hid close to the main sail. One of them turned around and hit Lin Fu's stabbing edge. When he reacted and tried to stop his feet, the tip of the knife had already stabbed out of his back. Lin Fu dropped the knife and held his waist knife against it.
Another man's neck: "If you want to live, just lie down." He pinned the man firmly with a rope, threw him into the cabin and locked him up. It was true that he wanted to seize the ship, but to seize the ship, someone needed to know how to sail, otherwise this would be a confusing situation.
Hundreds of sea routes are enough for them, so they need to leave someone who can sail.
The fighting in the forest was not over yet. Chen Enze and another young man were about to get off the boat to help the fight. Lin Fu stopped them: "Our duty is to seize the boat and defend it..." He pulled out the knife and held it in his hand.
His eyes were fixed on the direction of the battle in the forest.
Fu Qinghe led the young men to lurk in the woods to be prepared for an attack. Since they had the advantage in numbers, there was no problem in dealing with five people. He was afraid that those young men would be casualties because they were in a hurry when they first entered the war. However, they could rush over to help now.
That's too late.
At this moment, three people rushed out of the woods. They were all covered with colorful decorations. One of them had an arrow stuck in his neck. This man was also at the end of his strength. As soon as he ran out of the woods, he fell to the ground.
Move again.
Chen Enze's heart tightened. He didn't expect that two people would be able to rush out of the woods in the end. Then he saw Hu Qiaozhong, Hu Qiaoguan and other young men swarming out of the forest, followed closely by Fu Qinghe holding a bow. Lin Fu was relieved that only two people could rush out of the woods.
A young man's bamboo stabbing spear was cut off, but there were no casualties.
The remaining two people ran to the hut and saw Lin Fu and two young men standing at the bow of the boat. The rope ladder was also put away. Knowing that there was no chance of escaping onto the boat, they turned around and wanted to kill one person to make money. When they turned around, one of them had a face.
He fell down after being struck by arrows, and one of them was riddled with holes from the bamboo stabbing spear formation. These young men were also unskilled in using spears. When Lin Fu and the two young men got off the boat, the man was still twitching and was not dead.
