Chapter 735: New Discovery
Several people nodded after hearing this. ┡
"Okay, the purpose of our coming is to find Qian Yingying's whereabouts, since the boat is gone, then we have no choice, let's find Qian Yingying in the first place!" Du Yixuan continued.
Several people looked at her, apparently wanting to hear her thoughts.
"My idea is that let's start searching for Qian Yingying's whereabouts now, and we are going to walk into this wood, don't we can't be alone, divide into several groups, and take care of each other!"
Several people nodded again.
"Okay, since there is no objection, then let's start leaving now, before dark, we must return here, it is too dangerous to spend the night in the jungle!" Du Yixuan added.
Then they started to group up, Du Yixuan definitely wanted to be with Wu Ming, Bai Xiu didn't look at the night with Qian Feng yesterday, but it was also too drunk, when the two were sober, they would definitely not trust each other, so Bai Xiu naturally chose to be in a group with Wu Ming.
To their surprise, the captain also chose Du Yixuan and their group.
Then the rest of Qian Feng is naturally in a group with those soldiers, those soldiers were originally hired by the Qian family, and they are naturally obedient to Qian Feng, and Qian Feng also knows the details of these soldiers, in his eyes, these are all warriors, they are better than Wu Ming and them!
The two squads marched in two different directions, and after a while, Wu Ming and the others entered the woods.
This is the real primeval forest, with towering trees, dense vegetation, and many trees and plants here that they have never seen before, and many strange little animals.
"Captain, have you stayed on other islands before?" Wu Ming suddenly asked.
The captain nodded, "Naturally, I have stayed, and more than once, but I have never encountered something as mysterious and weird as Zephyr Island!"
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, after all, this island is not far from Zhonghai, if there are fishing boats passing by, or someone comes to rescue, it will not be difficult!" Du Yixuan said.
The captain shook his head, "It's not as simple as you think, this island is very special, and this boundary is also very special, not only the magnetic field is a bit special, but also as if the direction of this island is constantly changing, I have also talked to other captains before, and their memories are fundamental, the location of this island, every once in a while, it seems to deviate from the previous one! Of course, it may also be caused by the error caused by the compass under the action of the magnetic field!"
After all, the captain's words were still very authoritative, and after everyone heard it, their faces were a little unsightly.
"Since this is the case, then we have to take some measures, the first thing to solve is the problem of fresh water and food, fresh water is okay, but this food is a problem!" Du Yixuan said seriously.
"Yes!" the captain nodded helplessly, "Although we brought a lot of food, most of it was in the cabin, and there were not many of them that we really brought down, and it won't take a few days before we will finish eating, so we can only rely on our hands!"
"Don't worry too much, at least we can't starve to death in this jungle, not to mention anything else, I have seen a lot of plant rhizomes that can be eaten along the way, although the taste is not very good, but it is more than enough to save your life!" Wu Ming said with a smile.
Everyone knows that she studied Chinese medicine and knows a little about medicinal materials and plants, and it is really a lot more relieved to hear him say this.
"Yes, in fact, the most important point of survival in the wild is to correct the mentality, if the mentality collapses first, then everything is over!" Du Yixuan added.
A few people were not walking fast, there was no road ahead, and it was completely up to them to open the way.
"Something is wrong!" Wu Ming suddenly stopped.
Several people looked at him puzzled.
"What's wrong?" Du Yixuan asked.
"You don't have it now, there is no road in this place at all, if they bring Qian Yingying, even if the rain washes away the traces, the vegetation will be broken, that is, our road is not correct!"
"But this island is so big, no one knows where they landed, so they can only search for it so aimlessly!" Bai Xiu said.
Wu Ming shook his head, "No one knows what kind of danger there is in this wood, so we can't go like this!"
"You mean, let's look for the periphery first?" Du Yixuan asked.
Wu Ming nodded, "Yes, first of all, the peripheral vision is wide, and the danger factor must be much smaller, and those who brought Qian Yingying to the island must also know that this forest is dangerous, and they don't necessarily have to go to the woods, so I feel that our previous plan was wrong!"
"Okay, let's just listen to Wu Ming, look for it in the periphery first, and there is an important point, we must choose the location of our camp, everyone saw yesterday's thundershower, no one dares to guarantee that such a thunderstorm will not come again, and if it is bigger, then what should we do? And if the tent is damaged, then our accommodation has become a problem!"
Without hesitation, they walked back the way they came.
"Be careful!" Wu Ming suddenly shouted, and a stick hit the captain's left, and it happened that a small yellow-brown snake more than half a meter long was knocked to the ground by Wu Ming.
The captain was taken aback and hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Everyone be careful, this snake is a very domineering poisonous snake, good at attacking, if it is bitten, it will be troublesome!" Wu Ming said with a calm face.
The faces of the other people also turned ugly, this is the first time they have encountered a snake attack on the island, and it is a poisonous snake!
Fortunately, on the way back, everyone did not encounter any more dangers, and they did not go deep into the jungle, and walked out in less than half an hour.
After seeing the sea, everyone's mood is finally better!
"Okay, let's take a walk along this coastline, maybe we can get something!" Wu Ming said seriously.
Walking along this coastline is much easier, with sand and rocks everywhere and the occasional bit of silt, which is not a problem at all.
What's more, you can also harvest some fish, Du Yixuan simply took out a simple fishing net and put these accidentally caught fish into it.
"Looks like we're going to improve our food at noon!"
Everyone was very happy to hear this, no matter how they said, it is better to have fish to eat than to compress biscuits.
Until noon, there was nothing special for a few people, everything was realistic, and there seemed to be no trace of anyone coming here.
"Isn't Yingying and the others coming from this island, or is our news wrong?" Bai Xiu frowned.
Wu Ming shook his head, "I feel that there should be no problem with the news, the Du family and the Qian family have already confirmed it, but this West Wind Island is very big, and it is unknown where they go ashore, and secondly, this place is also weird, just like the ship that disappeared inexplicably, we still don't have a clue yet, so let's go around this coastline first and learn about this small island, the most important thing now is that our husband saves it, otherwise even if we find Qian Yingying, what's the use?"
After hearing this, several people felt that it made sense, and then everyone continued to move on.
"Okay, let's take a rest, get rid of these fish, and it's not too late to hit the road again!"
After speaking, Du Yixuan put down the package and took out the kitchenware.
The captain also put down the big bag, took out two cauldrons from it, and then went to the sea to fetch seawater and put it in the two cauldrons.
"I'll be given the task of getting fresh water and making salt!" The captain had a good idea of this, steaming the seawater, making a sea surface on top of the cauldron, and after a while, twisting the sea, a lot of fresh water was squeezed out, although it looked a little dirty, but there was no problem with drinking.
And the remaining white thing is naturally sea salt, although the taste of these sea salts is much worse than the salt sold, but after some processing by the captain, it can be barely eaten.
And Du Yixuan's side had already cleaned up the fish very quickly, put it on the fire and roasted it, and after a while, there was a crackling sound.
She sprinkled some spices on it, and the fragrance wafted out.
This is a real sea fish, and it is still fresh, the taste is naturally not bad, and Du Yixuan's grilled fish technique is absolutely not said.
Each person was divided into two, and with dry food, they were quite full.
After cleaning up, several people continued on their way.
"Let's walk for another half an hour, if we don't show up again, we have to return, after all, we still have to meet Qian Feng and them!" Du Yixuan said.
A few people nodded, and began to continue walking.
But there's still nothing special ahead.
"Look, what is that!" the captain suddenly became excited.
When everyone looked up, they saw a small raft in the distance, although this raft was incomplete, but at least it showed that this thing must have been made by man!
Several people ran over frantically, and the captain jumped directly into the water and pulled the improvised raft up.
"Yes, someone must have made it, but the technique is very crude, and if you go to sea on this kind of raft, it will be a dead end!" said the captain.
"In this way, it is very likely that this group of people is the same person who arrested Qian Yingying, and perhaps, they also encountered the same problem as us!" Wu Ming said with a frown.
The captain nodded, "That should be the case, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to make a raft!
"Let's hurry up and find it!" Wu Ming said in a deep voice.
This new appearance made several people a little excited.
Sure enough, there were quite a few traces of it around, such as fires, some sticks, and even dilapidated tents.
However, as there were more and more, the faces of several people became more and more ugly.
