6 Chixiao also had the same intention: "I just discussed it with Suisui and we plan to set off as soon as possible."
"Still heading south?"
After all, it is still a matter of direction.
Right now, they are just blind people walking at night - I don't know how dark it is. I hope this darkness will end soon.
"Yeah. Let's try walking for two more days."
If they were still floating like headless flies on the vast ocean after two days, he planned to use a flare during the vigil. The Star brand flare gun had a long range, and a fleet should find them.
If it doesn't work, just turn on all the advanced functions of the yacht and let everyone be surprised. It's better than running out of ammunition and food and dying on this sea.
After thinking about it, Lu Chixiao no longer hesitated and informed everyone to take a short rest after lunch before sailing.
Mrs. 6 gave Xu Tiejun two sets of her wife's clothes.
There was no way, the two sons were too tall, and the shortest and smallest sweatshirt was probably too big for the in-laws. In comparison, Liu Zhanfeng's clothes fit better.
"My dear, I haven't worn these two clothes many times, so you can make do with them for now. When you get back, I'll let Suisui cut you some new ones."
Xu Tiejun had already shaved and had his hair cut with the help of his son-in-law, and then took his first hot bath in the yacht bathtub in twelve years.
Although there is a fire for cooking and boiling water every day on the island, there is no place to store hot water. Coconut shells are used to boil the kettle, and you can boil a pot and drink from it. If you really want to take a hot bath, you can only use a coarse fiber towel woven from bark.
Just wipe it, how can I take a bath? My son-in-law also threw a piece of Chinese herbal bath salt said to be produced by a local township enterprise in Yupu. After taking a bath, I felt refreshed.
"My parents are so polite!" Xu Tiejun did not refuse Mrs. Lu's kindness.
On the island, he was the only one, casually wrapped in some leaves or wearing a vest made of bark. It didn't matter, but he was sandwiched among the well-dressed people. He looked like a primitive man dressed like this, except for holding a spear in his hand.
.
I thanked him and quickly went back to the bathroom to change clothes.
After I changed it, I felt like a completely different person.
Lu Chixiao, who was standing outside the bathroom, almost didn't recognize his father-in-law when he saw him.
With such an order, my father-in-law is quite young.
In fact, Xu Tiejun is indeed not old. Because he got married early, he is not even fifty this year. In addition, the living environment on the island is inseparable from manual labor. He is as strong as an ox. Just looking at his back, I would have thought he was in his thirties or forties.
middle-aged strong man.
Her face is actually not bad, but she is a bit tanned, and her skin color is darker than bronze. Her movements give people an inexplicable sense of intimidation.
Boss 6 couldn't help but rub his chin and thought: With my father-in-law's figure and physical strength, if I go back and arrange a blind date, there must be many single women comrades rushing to get it, right?
In the afternoon, dark clouds completely enveloped the sky above this place, and raindrops began to fall on the island again. The group packed up and set off.
"Dad?" Xu Suizhu held an umbrella and found Xu Tiejun who was looking at the isolated island on the side of the deck.
"Why did you come out? It's raining and it's a little cool. Don't catch a cold." Xu Tiejun came back to his senses and said hurriedly.
He raised his eyes and received a concerned look from his daughter, and said with a smile: "I just feel that the past twelve years have been like a dream. I couldn't wake up from it before, but now I finally wake up and can go home! I feel so happy!...
It’s just a pity that I spent so much time building so many treehouses, especially the new ones, how much effort it took me!”
Xu Suizhu knew what her father meant: Although she had always wanted to go home, after all, she had lived here for twelve years, and it was impossible to leave without feeling sad at all.
"Dad," she said softly, "when we go back, we will decorate the new island together like this small island, plant the flowers and plants here, pick some strong trees to build a treehouse, and set up a swing.
The daily necessities on the shelf are made of coconut shells as much as possible... When the holidays come, we will go live there, how about it?"
Xu Tiejun quickly raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, chuckled and said, "Silly girl!"
When the father and daughter returned to the inner cabin, the course was determined: still heading south.
The two brothers always felt that their speculation was correct.
Finally, after driving for another two days and one night, after experiencing a strange storm, not only did the sun shine, but the navigation system, which had been as quiet as a chicken for many days, returned to normal.
Everyone cheered excitedly!
"Look, where are you now? How far is it from going home?" Liu Zhanfeng couldn't wait to ask in front of the navigation device.
His stomach couldn't bear the seafood he ate every day. Right now he just wanted to eat some fluffy white rice! It would be better if he could just use the fresh vegetables that the ship had cut off for a few days!
6 Chixiao studied the route carefully and was stunned for a moment: "It's not far."
It is indeed not far away. Not far ahead is the Zengmu Shoal - the southernmost area of the motherland. Continuing fifty or sixty nautical miles, it is where they parked before encountering the tornado.
But the problem is——
They are driving south! Judging from the time zone difference, they should be in the North Atlantic. If they are in the South Pacific, wouldn't driving south all the way to the equator or even the Tropic of Capricorn? How can they return to the Nansha Islands?
Furthermore, judging from the time difference, shouldn't they have crossed almost half the world? Why are they still near the East Eighth District? The time difference is only one hour at most?
Incredible!
I can’t figure it out!
It’s so weird anyway!
But no matter what, it feels so damn good to be one step away from home!
"Brothers and sisters, do you still want to float on the high seas and enjoy the scenery?" Young Master Lu asked jokingly.
Before Xu Suizhu could answer, her father-in-law rushed to say: "If you want to come to the high seas to see the scenery, you can do it next time. It's been too long this time, so let's go back first! I have been away from home for twelve years, so I must miss my family very much..."
Anyway, he wouldn't think of doing it a second time.
If I hadn’t come, how comfortable I would be now!
——Wake up in the morning, face the sunrise, take a walk around the coconut grove avenue, and play boxing. If you don’t want to make breakfast yourself, go to the resort cafeteria and order some of your favorite pasta. After eating, accompany the old man to Houhai Reef Beach for fishing, or else
I would go to Lao Wu's teahouse to drink tea and listen to a play; I would accompany my wife to take a nap, watch the old men playing chess, or I would accompany my wife to go for a walk in the living area, watch the sunset at the mouth of the small bay in the evening, and then come back with dinner...
In short, in Lu Zhanfeng's opinion, Fuju Island is much more beautiful than Laoshizi Gonghai! Why bother to come here and run out of rice, vegetables, dumplings, noodles, not to mention noodles, and almost can't go home! At this age,
I can't believe it's my second time here!
Who among you can’t hear the profound meaning in the words of the six elders? Who doesn’t miss white rice, fresh vegetables and fruits, and freshwater fish, shrimp, chicken, duck, and pork that are not available at sea?
Xu Suizhu is embarrassed.
How did she expect that she would encounter a tornado! The entire yacht was swept into another sea area. If she knew... well, she would definitely choose to come! How could she take her father home if she didn't come?
But her father-in-law is right when she says something: her father misses his family very much, so he must go home first! He likes it here, and there will always be a chance to come back in the future.
