Chapter 23 Burning Fire and Smoke
There are three bamboo houses in total, and the middle one is for Su Wu's six women to live together, so the bamboo bed is particularly large.
The bamboo house of Zhao Chong and Ma Wang is far away more than 30 meters away on the right, and the boundary is very clear.
I didn't live with Zhao Chong's two men. Of course, I didn't live with six women. I thought so, but they wouldn't give it.
I also built a single house on the left hand side of the women. However, it is very close to the women, and it is basically next to the women's bamboo houses.
How close is it? It's the kind of person who gets up in a daze in the middle of the night to pee, and when he turns around, he can go to the wrong door and break into the woman's room.
This is a request jointly made by Su Wu, Tian Xiaxia, Kexin, Li Ling and other women, who deliberately let me live next to it. They were wary of Zhao Chong's two men and asked me to sleep next to them, just to be their bodyguards.
They said they were relieved of me.
Reassuring to me?
Aren't you afraid that I will go to the wrong bed in a daze at night and sleep with a bunch of you women?
Of course, this is impossible. Their trust in me depends on my character, how can I do such unscrupulous things as a decent gentleman?
My image in the eyes of women is very good. In their original words: powerful, pure-eyed, harmless man.
I don't know what they think, but I can see that my eyes are pure.
Let them be.
A good night's sleep.
On my first night ashore, I finally got a long, full night's sleep on a comfortable bamboo bed in the warm light of the fire.
When I woke up the next day, I found that Su Wu's eyes were a little dark, and I quietly asked her, "What's wrong, didn't you sleep well?"
Su Wu nodded: "I'm insomnia." ”
I said, "Is it suddenly missing my warm embrace, not used to it?"
Su Wuyang knocked on my head with his hand: "You are, I can't sleep because I'm thinking about something else." ”
I looked disappointed: "I thought I was thinking about me, it seems that I was making a fool of myself." ”
Su Wu snorted and gave me a meaningful smile.
This female goblin, I really can't see her laughing, this laugh is simply beautiful to the horizon. It really deserves to have that kind of posture that looks at the city.
……
Today's main task is to make a distress signal so that the rescue team can better find us.
I have already told everyone about my plan at the previous meeting, and it can be summed up in a few words: fire and smoke!
Fire at night and smoke during the day.
At night, a large fire can be lit to convey a message far away, especially to the sky.
It is not possible to burn a fire during the day, and when the sky and the earth are bright, it has no effect. However, it is possible to set off a puff of smoke, which will pass a farther distance.
In ancient times, there was no mobile phone telegraph, and to transmit information, it relied on smoke and fire. A beacon tower, with thick smoke, can travel dozens of miles away.
The beacon tower, also known as the beacon, is specially used to convey emergency military information, but it is not used to greet distant relatives or exchange affection and sweetness for the young couple.
There is a famous allusion in the Western Zhou Dynasty called the princes of the beacon fire, in order to please his own women, the king of Zhou You lit the beacon tower indiscriminately, and arranged a court version of 'the wolf is coming', but the result is dishonest to the princes, and finally the strong enemy hits, the princes do not save it, and the old Zhou has lost his country in this way. This is called not doing and not dying.
I took someone to cut down a bunch of raw branches, dragged them to the beach, and then made a fire and covered them with raw branches.
Why use raw twigs and leaves?
Because the raw branches and leaves can smoke a lot, but the dry ones can't, not only do they produce less smoke, but they will also burn out quickly, which is very troublesome.
Under our manufacturing, a green dragon rises up and penetrates the sky.
Well, whether the rescue team can find us or not depends on it now.
As long as they are close to this radius of tens of miles, they will definitely be able to see our green smoke, and then judge that there are living people in need of support here.
Taking advantage of my free time, I built a simple thatched hut on the side of the mountain behind the camp for everyone to discharge on weekdays, so as not to have no rules and mess around, affecting the living environment. No one wants to be active, and accidentally step on or pee or something.
Life has been settled for the time being.
It's the third day of going ashore, and the rescue we are looking forward to is not the slightest eyebrow. There are no ships on the sea, and overhead, let alone rescue helicopters, not even civil airliners, not a single one has flown from high in the sky.
This kind of taste really makes several of us feel like we are living in a barren land isolated from the world.
What we don't understand is how a cruise ship travels all year round without even a hint of human activity......
Is it true, as I had guessed, that the cruise ship crossed through to an unknown place on earth? But is there a place in the modern civilization that humans cannot set foot in?
Maybe there is. After all, the earth is so big, and although human civilization is developed, it has not yet reached the level of completely occupying the earth.
On this day, I had breakfast, and walked silently to the beach alone, facing the sea.
I don't know when, Su Wu also came over, observed my appearance, and said, "Do you miss your cousin?"
I nodded, my cousin's matter, when I was drifting on the sea, I had already mentioned it to Su Wu. I said, "I don't know if she's dead or alive, Sister Su, I decided to look for her, what do you think?"
When Su Wu heard this, he was stunned: "How to find it?"
I said, "It's impossible to find it in the sea, it's so fierce in the sea, and there are no good ships here, and if I take a lifeboat, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back if I go out." In addition, I think that if my cousin is still alive, it is unlikely that she will still be at sea except for being rescued. ”
Su Wu interjected: "Do you think she may also go ashore?"
I said, "It's very likely. ”
Su Wu said, "So what?"
I said, "So I want to take a lifeboat and walk along the coast and look around, and if I'm lucky, I can find other living people, and if I'm even luckier, maybe my cousin can be found, thank goodness." ”
Su Wu heard me say this, and was silent for a long time, and after a while, he said: "I also support you in doing this, your relatives have not heard from you, and everyone is anxious about changing anyone." Why don't you let me go with you to find it?"
I smiled at her, shook my head, and said, "No." It's not a joke, the road will be very hard, I tell you, it's definitely not easier than the few days we were drifting on the sea, and there are unpredictable dangers, I can't take you with me. ”
Su Wu said: "I'm afraid I'll become a burden to you?"
I shook my head and smiled, "No." ”
