Volume 4 The Stormy Sea Chapter 381 Where is this again?

The ship tilted more and more, and Poplar had to pick up the large wooden box, barely stand on his feet, and throw it under the boat.

Because the wooden box has decayed, once it hits the surface of the water and falls apart, the gold, silver and jewelry inside sink to the bottom of the sea and cannot be salvaged.

That's why Poplar made the Iron Bull jump into the sea first.

Although the wooden box was heavy, with the ability of the iron ox, it was still firmly in his hand.

After that, Poplar stepped on two decks directly, broke them with his hands, and threw them into the sea, and he hurriedly jumped into the sea himself.

Hearing the sound of "hula", the boat overturned on its side in the sea, setting off a large wave and splashing on the heads of the three people.

The three of them hurriedly held the deck as far away from the ship as possible.

The ship quickly turned from turning on its side to bottoming up, and then slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.

The Iron Ox placed the large wooden box on the larger deck, and held the deck with his own hands and floated steadily on the water.

Haizhu held a small wooden box in one hand and another deck in the other. Seeing the poplar swimming over, Haizhu took the initiative to hand the small wooden box back to the poplar.

Bai Yang was not polite, took the small wooden box with one hand, looked at the deck held by the iron ox, and said: "This deck is enough! Haizhu, you use your hands to grab the tail of the deck to borrow strength, and Lao Hei and I will row forward with the deck from both sides, and before dark, we should be able to swim to the nearest island!"

Haizhu agreed, threw away the deck he was holding, swam to the iron bull and grabbed the relatively flat end of the larger deck.

Poplar swam to the other side of the deck and placed the small wooden box on the deck as well. In this way, he and the iron ox are guarding the deck left and right, and they are not afraid that the wooden box on the uneven deck will slide into the sea.

The two brothers then paddled hard to the nearest island.

The island seems to be about ten kilometers long, and when you really swim it, ten kilometers is far more than that.

Even though the two brothers were extremely strong and skilled in water, they had to pause from time to time and hold on to the deck to take a breath before continuing.

One of them is a man, and he wears a diving suit, and the most important thing is that both of them are already extraordinary people. But Haizhu is just an ordinary person, and she is a girl, and it is inevitable that she will feel uncomfortable after soaking in the water for a long time, but she can only get through it.

The trip lasted several hours, and finally reached the shore of the island before the sun set.

The two brothers were suffering from back pain and hunger, and suddenly collapsed on the soft sand, not wanting to move again.

Haizhu sat down for a while, then got up and went to the woods behind the beach, and when he came back after a while, his clothes were wrung out, and said, "I saw a few coconut trees over there, and there were many ripe coconuts on the trees, so I could barely cope with the food and drink." But without fire, we can't call for help from distant ships. ”

"I still have an incendiary bomb on my body, and Lao Bai has two on him! So the fire is no problem, Lao Bai will pick coconuts later, and I will go to the sea to catch two more fish!"

Iron Bull said as he touched his waist.

In the small pocket of his wetsuit, there were two incendiary bombs the size of marbles, one of which had been used up in that strange illusion.

But he didn't expect him to touch it with his hand, and there were still two.

However, there was already a precedent for the used magazine to be hung on his waist again, so Tie Niu was just stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I forgot, the things used in that ghost place don't count, so I still have two incendiary bombs on my body!"

Poplar habitually raised his wrist to look at his watch -

His watch had stopped walking in that strange place, but now he was moving around normally, but there was no place to time it, and he didn't know if the time on his watch was accurate.

- The hands of the watch point to six o'clock, and the sun has already set on the sea, so the time on the watch is not far wrong, if not accurate.

"If you want to catch a fish, let's do it now, lest the sun goes down, and it will be even more difficult to catch it!, but without the javelin, we will have to cut two sharp roots!" said Poplar, rising and walking to the woods behind the beach.

Tie Niu also walked over, and Haizhu stayed on the beach to look at a large and a small wooden box.

Sure enough, at the top of the forest, there were several tall coconut trees, and there were several huge coconuts hanging from the trees.

However, according to Poplar's idea, the coconut tree can't run away here, so it's better to go down to the sea and tie two fish up first.

Before the dagger hanging from Topol's waist was lost, he cut two sticks with the dagger, sharpened one end, and then the two brothers each took one and went down to the sea.

With the skills of his two brothers, it didn't take long for the two of them to tie a big fish ashore.

Haizhu took advantage of this time to find a pile of dry firewood, and seeing that the sky was dark, the three of them lit a fire with an incendiary bomb, washed and peeled the two fish with daggers, and Haizhu first put them on the fire to roast, and the poplar iron ox went to climb the tree and pick coconuts.

The three of them were very thirsty, and when the coconut was plucked, they drank a few sips of coconut water before they had a full meal with coconut meat and grilled fish.

Because the fish is washed with seawater, the grilled fish naturally has a slightly salty taste.

The three of them were so hungry that their chests were close to their backs, and they almost devoured the two big fish and ate them quickly.

In the words of Tie Niu, I have never eaten such delicious grilled fish in my life.

After that, they didn't think about how to call for help for the time being, and just lay down on the beach to rest.

The poplar iron bull was extremely tired, and almost fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

But Haizhu pushed and screamed to wake them up.

Tie Niu closed his eyes and didn't bother to move, but said: "Haizhu, I'm really sleepy to death, I'll wait until tomorrow to talk about anything!"

"But behold, there seems to be a light on the other side of the island!" Haizhu still cried.

Poplar was also in a daze, but when he heard the word "light", he suddenly came to his senses, turned over and sat up, and asked, "Light? Where do you say there is a light?"

"Look, it's right there!" said Haizhu, running a few steps to the left, pointing to the back of the island.

Tie Niu also got up and chattered, "Where is the light? It can't be that you are dazzled by the mistake, right?"

"How could it be that I was dazzled, the moon is in the other direction, but that piece seems to be brighter than under the moon!"

There is indeed a moon tonight, but it is not very bright in the bends.

Poplar glanced at the moon, and somehow, something was wrong in his heart.

But at this time, I didn't care about thinking carefully, and I was busy looking in the direction of Haizhu's finger, and it really felt like it was on the right back side of the island, faintly shining with light.

"Old Hei, you stay here with Haizhu, I'll run over and take a look!" Poplar cried as he spread his legs along the beach, trying to go around to a place where there was light.

Iron Bull shouted from behind, "Be careful!"

Poplar agreed, and seeing that the faint light was indeed getting clearer and clearer, he couldn't help but run faster with joy in his heart.

It's a pity that when I ran further, a rocky beach suddenly appeared in front of me, and at the end of the rocky beach, it seemed that there was a straight cliff.

In other words, the only way to get to a lighted place is to walk through the jungle of the islands.

Poplar could only go back the same way, Tie Niu and Haizhu were standing on the beach looking into the distance, and when they saw Poplar's figure from afar, Tie Niu hurriedly ran up and asked him how he was.

"There are lights," said Poplar, "but you can't pass along the edge of the island, so you can only wait until dawn to pass through the middle of the island and see if there are any people living there!"

"But what if there's a deep bay over there, and the light is just an occasional ship coming up, and by the time we pass by tomorrow, the boat has already sailed away?" said Iron Bull.

"Even if it's just a deep water bay, it must be a dock operated by someone, otherwise now that the wind and waves are calm, why does that ship come over inexplicably? Not to mention that we are not familiar with the situation on the island, it is too dangerous to walk through the island blindly in the dark, it is better to lie down and rest quickly, and we will set off as soon as it dawns tomorrow, even if the island is just a passing ship, since it has docked, it must not leave too early tomorrow!"

Iron Bull listened to Poplar's reasoning, and he was indeed very tired, so he didn't say any more, and went back to the place where the wooden box was placed with Poplar, and lay down to rest again.

When Poplar was lying down, he saw the moon again, and his heart couldn't help but "bang", remembering what was making him feel wrong.

When he opened his mouth, he wanted to tell Tie Niu, but as soon as Tie Niu Fang lay down, a slight snoring sound had already sounded.

Poplar couldn't bear to wake him up, and the issue wasn't very urgent anyway, so he decided to wait until tomorrow.

I slept extra sweetly all night.

However, Poplar has been practicing since he was a child, and he has developed a habit, and as soon as the day dawns, he woke up in shock, and heard that Tie Niu was still sleeping soundly, so he simply stood up first and looked around.

There was a thin layer of mist floating on the surface of the sea, and the trees behind it were also white mist.

Poplar took a deep breath of the humid morning air, and felt that the real world still made people feel comfortable and comfortable.

He walked into the woods, and saw that the fog was not very thick, and the light in the woods was clear enough for people to see, and he was almost ready to walk.

So Poplar walked back and woke up Tie Niu and Haizhu.

Haizhu got up as soon as he screamed, but Tie Niu muttered for a long time, and finally sat up.

Because there is no fresh water, and there is no way to wash your face and rinse your mouth, the poplar iron cow doesn't care, but Haizhu wiped his face and hands with the leftover coconut meat he ate yesterday, and then Haizhu held the small wooden box, and the poplar iron cow carried the big wooden box, first walked along the beach for a while, and then turned into the woods.

The woods were overgrown with weeds, but fortunately there were no thorny thorns or the like, and the three of them did not have a difficult walk.

Just walking, the three of them actually found a winding path on the woodland that was obviously stepped on by people.

Since there are paths, it proves that there are residents on this island, at least people often walk on the island.

The three of them were greatly encouraged and walked faster along the path.

The island was not very large, and before the sun could come out, the three of them had crossed a high ground and reached the place where the lights had been emitted last night.

Looking down, there was a row of houses built facing the sea.

There is a pier by the sea, and two large ships are docked on the pier.

"Sure enough, there are people living on the island, and there are boats, so we can go home now!"

Haizhu was elated, and he was about to run down.

Poplar had been watching the two boats carefully, and hurriedly reached out to pull Haizhu by the hand.

"Wait a minute, see how it goes!" Poplar said. His brows were furrowed, and his face was solemn.
