Chapter 440: Li Zhi's Letter
The words on the bluestone slab should have been carved with a dagger, the scratches were not deep, and they were covered with a thin layer of ash, and it seemed that the words had been left for a long time.
In order to make it easy to write, the sentence structure used is very simple and straightforward.
It's dusty, but it's not a hindrance to reading.
My cousin read softly.
To my friends Yu Le and Lu Lin:
I, Li Zhi, with Sun Liqing and a group of six people, picked up the message from the Pegasus Xingren, took the lifeboat to turn west, bypassed the western end of the island, and went to the north shore.
On the forty-second day, they arrived at the only suitable place to cross the sea.
Because the remains of a bonfire were found here, it is not known who left it. But it is speculated that it should be the brothers and others, who have crossed the sea and left first.
So I waited here for three days, and then decided to cross the strait and follow him.
But I'm afraid it's not what I expected. The people who cross the sea are not brothers or others.
Therefore, I deliberately made this message, such as the brothers and others are still behind, hoping to find this stone, and then the two parties will meet and work together to complete the task assigned by the Pegasus people.
By the way, I left a message to the Yu Le brothers to inform me of the path we and the others took.
Although the land route is short, it is separated by mountains and mountains, and there are many dangers, and it is not easy to cross. Therefore, we planned to take the sea route, first by boat to the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then travel up the river to the Hanyang area by water.
After reading this, I hope that the brothers will also be able to abandon the land route and take the sea route from what I said, so that there may be a period of encounter on the way.
Remember!
Li Zhi, Sun Liqing, Shen Juan, Wei Huiyun, Guo Biyan, Fei Fei
Leave a book!
After reading the message, I clapped my palms and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the hero sees something the same! You look at Li Zhi, who also knows that he takes the sea route, and knows that it is easier to take the sea route than the land route, and would rather take a detour than go to the primeval forest." Doesn't this coincide with our thoughts? ”
When my cousin finished reading, she became silent, as if thinking about something, and frowned, "They seem to have an accident." One less person!"
"Is there one missing?" I read the next six names again: "Is there seven?"
My cousin nodded: "There is one less Wu Qinglan, I am familiar with them, so I know." I'm afraid it's the people who are gone. At the beginning, it was also said that it was 'a line of six people', which proves that they are only six people together now, not because the name is omitted at the back. ”
I recalled it carefully, and then I finally remembered that there should indeed be a woman named Wu Qinglan in Li Zhi's team. Because I didn't have as much contact with them as my cousins, I couldn't react for a while.
I sighed, "I guess it's gone." To survive in such a place, who dares to guarantee that nothing will happen. It's all fate. The specific situation has to meet with Li Zhi and them to know. ”
Su Wu next to him also sighed: "That's it." I think at the beginning, if it wasn't for the big pervert to save me, I don't know how many times I died. After experiencing this kind of thing, I know that it is difficult and thrilling!"
Several other women, touched their hearts, also sighed one after another.
No way, all of them were saved by me on the verge of life and death.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so desperate for me, and sold their bodies and souls to me.
I interrupted the women's remembrance and said, "Let's get down to business." Now that Li Zhi and the others have decided to leave, we don't need to pick up people anymore. You can cross the sea directly. ”
My cousin habitually raised her wrist and looked at her watch (it should be looking at the perpetual calendar), and said, "After receiving a message from the Pegasus, they rushed here on the forty-second day and began to cross the sea on the forty-fifth day. We arrived here three months later because of shipbuilding delays. That is, at this time, they had been crossing the sea for almost a month and a half. ”
I also calculated it in my mind. "They went by lifeboat, and if they crossed the sea successfully, they would be rowed purely by manpower, and they would walk close to the shallow waters of the coast - they would not dare to leave the coast in small boats." A month and a half, in fact, can't go far. At the speed of our sailboats, it should not be difficult to catch up with them. And we observe the coast all the way, and we are not afraid of chasing and getting lost, and we will be able to see people when we see lifeboats!"
My cousin bowed slightly: "I hope so." ”
Tian Qiuqiu, who had been silent, spoke up at this time: "Brother Lele, you said, in Brother Li Zhi's message, why do you think that we have crossed the sea?"
I thought for a moment and said, "I think they must have thought of Yuri's gang as us." The first group of people to cross the sea here was not Li Zhi, but the red-haired Yuri! They must have left traces here, so Li Zhi and they found out, so they were mistaken for us. But according to the message, Li Zhi was not very sure, so he made preparations with both hands, crossing the sea to chase while writing a message. This guy seems to be thoughtful enough. ”
Tian Qiuqiu heard this and said, "Doesn't that mean that Brother Li Zhi and the others may catch up with that foreigner Yuri, wouldn't it be dangerous?"
I was coloring and nodded: "There is a possibility! But at this time, we have no choice but to pray for Li Zhi and them, hoping that the two gangs will not collide." ”
My cousin said, "Let's catch up." I hope to meet Li Zhi and them first!"
So we circled around and then returned to the landing site.
My cousin looked at her watch and said, "It's past one o'clock, do you want to cross the sea immediately?"
I didn't answer her immediately, I climbed to a high place and looked at the continent opposite, although I could see it with my eyes, but the distance was not small.
Between the two places, there is a large strait across the boundless.
My cousin told me before that the human eye, if there are no obstacles, can see tens of kilometers at the level of the earth.
I retorted to her, "It's only a few tens of kilometers?" So how can I see the sun and the moon?
My cousin rolled her eyes at me and said that I was looking at it from the sea level, because the earth is round and has a certain curvature. At a greater distance, you can't cast it into people's eyes. Unless you climb higher. In addition, because of the atmosphere, people's vision is also limited.
The reason why we were fighting this at that time was to study the straight-line distance of this strait. I want to use visual inspection to calculate the width of this strait.
Then I thought of a better way, which was to measure the satellite map directly.
The final result was that the two places were about 20 to 30 kilometers apart.
Twenty to thirty kilometers, at the speed of our sailboat, it takes half a day. And on the premise of smooth sailing!
So I turned back to my cousin and said, "There is still half a day left, so I won't leave today, stay overnight, and leave tomorrow morning." Safety first, let's not fight for this half a day. Otherwise, if there is a little accident, it will have to be dark. Now, get plenty of fresh water and food. At the mouth of this strait, the wind and waves are even stronger than other places, and it is estimated that they will not be so easy to cross! Qi Guangfei and them were a lesson before!"
