After the hurricane, the sky was so blue that there was not even a trace of clouds.

The waves gently beat against the hull of the boat, driving the boat to sway from side to side.

A few frigate birds were flying freely around the ship.

Wei Chihuan checked with Zhu Erfu on and off the boat, and his face became ugly.

There was not much fresh water in the cabin in the first place, and it is estimated that the ship has been hit too hard in the past two days, and some of it has been poured out, and there is basically not much left.

Even if you start saving water now, it won't last a few days.

And looking at the weather, even if you want to collect rainwater to drink, it is enough to choke in a short time.

"Captain Zhu, the situation on the other two ships is similar."

Fang Yiai's water is good enough, and he took the initiative to jump into the sea water just now and went to the other two boats to learn about their grain and fresh water storage.

"Where are we now?"

Yu Chihuan held the chart and asked Zhu Erfu a little uncertainly.

"It's useless, Lang Jun, we are still at least ten days away from the mainland."

Zhu Erfu frowned, and he had no idea for a while.

"Captain, the compass seems to be back to normal."

Just when a few people were discussing countermeasures in frustration, Yang Qiwa walked over with a compass.

"I'll see!"

Zhu Erfu hurriedly took the compass and took it around twice.

"It's normal!"

"That sea area, we must mark it clearly, and we must try to avoid it in the future."

Yu Chihuan was slightly relieved to see that the compass had returned to normal.

It's not all bad news.

With a compass, at least you can clearly grasp the direction of progress.

"Qiwa, you go to the mast and keep an eye on it to see if there are any islands nearby."

Zhu Erfu began to ignite a new hope in his heart.

With a compass, the fleet has hope of going back.

As long as you can find an island, fresh water and food nearby, the problem is likely to be solved.

Hearing Zhu Erfu say this, Yang Qiwa immediately climbed to the top of the mast like a monkey, raised the telescope, and watched around attentively.

Unfortunately, whether there are islands or not is not a difference if you work hard or not.

"Quick, help, this seems to be a big fish!"

On the deck, Wei Chihuan and a group of crew members were fishing there.

In today's situation, no matter how fast the boat is driven, it is meaningless, it is better to reduce the speed of the boat, so that everyone can go fishing, and somewhat relieve the food shortage.

"Poof!"

Fang Yiai looked at Yu Chihuan's fishing rod from the side, it had been bent, and it was obviously a big fish.

He didn't talk nonsense, at this time, it didn't make sense to help pull the fishing rod, he simply picked up the harpoon, took off his clothes, and jumped directly into the sea.

This guy is really a natural sailor, and as soon as he entered the water, a bright red stained the surrounding small patches of sea.

Yu Chihuan clearly felt the tension of the fishing rod loosened, and the big fish below should have fallen into the fishing rod of Fang Yiai.

"Throw a cable down, good guy, this fish can't weigh hundreds or thousands of pounds."

Fang Yiai peeked out of the water, wiped the seawater on his face with his hand, and shouted excitedly.

The East China Sea fishery has been catching fish for several years, and everyone's understanding of marine fish has also improved to a new level.

"Beloved, this fish seems to be tuna, when I was in Dengzhou before, the prince liked to eat the fish of this fish the most."

In a few moments, Fang Yiai and the big fish were pulled to the deck.

"Lang Jun, it should be tuna, but this fin is blue, and the size is larger than the one caught off the coast of Dengzhou before."

Zhu Erfu stared at the big fish and gave his own judgment.

"This fish is nearly a zhang long, and it is estimated that it is almost a thousand catties, right? Fortunately, you jumped into the sea in time, otherwise there would have been no way to catch it. ”

Wei Chihuan looked at the big fish on the deck, and he was also happy.

Bigger whales and sharks, he didn't never see.

But it's the first time I've seen this kind of tuna grow so big.

"Hehe, the prince said that this fish is most suitable for making fish belly, and we all have a good mouth tonight. One fish is enough for a few of us on the bow boat. ”

Fang Yiai grinned.

Nowadays, food is scarce, and it can be alleviated little by little.

The most troublesome thing is the problem of fresh water, the weather is so hot, it is really impossible to drink less water.

To be a qualified sailor, this quality is a must-have.

Although the future of the fleet was worrying, with this big fish, everyone still enjoyed it happily.

"The taste of this fish is really delicious."

Fang Yiai directly picked up a piece of sashimi that was one finger long and half a finger thick and stuffed it into his mouth.

The slightly bright red sashimi is a delicious dish without adding any condiments.

Relatively speaking, Wei Chihuan's eating appearance was a little more gentle, picking up a piece of sashimi of the same size, dipping it in the only remaining sauce on the boat, raising his head slightly, opening his mouth, and putting the sashimi into it.

"Hmm!"

Feeling the slippery in his mouth, Yu Chihuan couldn't help but moan.

This blue-fin tuna is even more delicious than the yellowfin tuna that I ate with His Royal Highness the King of Chu in Dengzhou.

If he mentions it to the prince in the future, he should be able to help drooling, right?

"Your sister! Brother Wei Chi, if you want to eat, it's so disgusting! ”

Fang Yiai looked at Yu Chihuan with a disgusted face on the side.

"Bereavement, if you have the ability, you can talk to Brother Cheng about 'your sister', if you can say this when His Royal Highness the King of Chu and Brother Cheng are there, I will call you Brother Fang."

Yu Chihuan glanced at Fang Yiai and continued to stuff a piece of sashimi into his mouth.

"Ahem!"

Fang Yiai coughed embarrassedly, and quickly changed the topic, "This fish has a lot of water, and I feel like I can drink less water if I eat more." ”

Just when Yu Chihuan and Fang Yiai were eating fish tartillery on the deck, Yang Qiwa was also holding a large piece of fish tart, standing on the mast and eating while holding a telescope and looking into the distance.

The sea in the evening is still very beautiful.

In the reflection of the setting sun, the entire sea is golden.

The weather is not as hot as it is at noon, and the sea breeze makes you feel a little cool.

At some point, a large flock of seagulls circled around the fleet, sometimes passing over the deck.

What situation the fleet is facing now, Yang Qiwa is naturally very clear.

He is also well aware of the heavy responsibility he has on his shoulders.

The seas are vast, and if you don't pay attention, you may miss the nearby islands and miss the hope of the fleet's salvation.

If I can find an island, after I Yang Qiwa returns to Dengzhou, I will definitely eat fasting for a month to show my sincerity.

I don't know if Yang Qiwa's oath played a role, or if the fleet finally rejected Jitai.

Yang Qiwa, who had just stuffed the last mouthful of fish in her mouth, noticed that some reef-like things could be faintly seen in the northwest direction.

"Captain, there's a situation ahead!"

Yang Qiwa immediately shouted excitedly.

……

The earth is round. No one has brought this up yet.

Even Li Kuan has not yet thrown out this view that breaks everyone's inherent understanding of "the sky is round and the place is round" in Guanshishan Academy.

However, this does not affect Yang Qiwa's understanding of some things.

It looks like a reef-like thing seen in a telescope, and as the distance gets closer and closer, it slowly turns into a cliff.

More precisely, it was an island with large cliffs.

This kind of island, in the navigation of the South Seas, Yang Qiwa has not never seen it.

Although he couldn't understand why one side of the island was a cliff, next to it was a bottomless ocean.

"Qiwa, that's good, you really didn't disappoint me!"

Next to the mast, Zhu Erfu once again confirmed the situation ahead, and after finding out that it was an island, he was immediately excited.

Although the island in the distance doesn't look like any trees, you can't necessarily get any food.

However, for the fleet, the most scarce thing is fresh water.

As long as there are islands, especially rocky islands like this, there is a very high probability that you will be able to find some accumulated rainwater, especially if it has rained so heavily just a few days ago.

Soon, several bows began to adjust their direction, and the smallest one rushed ahead to find its way to avoid hitting the rocks.

All the crew members came to the deck, excitedly looking at the island in the distance.

Although everyone tried to pretend that nothing was going on these days, in fact, in the dead of night, the cabin was full of crew members who couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.

Hanging in the balance!

How many people can really not care?

The island is a little bigger than everyone thinks, especially the steep cliff that towers over the sea, and it is difficult to figure out how it was formed.

"Poof!"

"Gawu!"

As the fleet approached, a flock of birds flew up on the edge of the cliff.

"Huh?"

Fang Yiai felt something fall on his face and reached out to touch it.

"Haha! Bereavement, you are very destined to follow the petrels. ”

Yu Chihuan couldn't help laughing when he saw that there was bird droppings on Fang Yiai's face and shoulders.

"Bad luck!"

Fang Yiai frustratedly pulled off his clothes and plunged into the water one by one again.

"The ship dropped anchor here first, and for the time being, it was allowed to continue inside."

Zhu Erfu was afraid of being happy and sad, such a big cliff is here, and the surrounding islands are obviously full of reefs, although there are small boats exploring the way in front, for the sake of safety, it is better to anchor first.

"Leave half of us on the boat, and the rest follow me to the island!"

It is only more than a hundred steps away from the island, and any crew member can easily swim over, and Wei Chihuan can't wait to get ready to land on the island.

This deserted island has few trees, except for a few trees that survive in the crevices of the rocks.

In this environment, the spring water can not be counted on, and can only be dispersed to see if there is any natural storage of rainwater.

Fortunately, the island is so big, and there are rocks and potholes everywhere, but there is water in many places.

After all, the rain brought by this hurricane is too great, and now it has only been two days, even if the temperature is high, the evaporation is fast, and there is still a lot of water in many places.

In particular, Yu Chihuan followed the reef to the back of the cliff, and near the top of the cliff, he found a huge natural puddle that had accumulated a large amount of rainwater.

"Haha! There is no endless road. ”

Wei Chihuan was overjoyed in his heart, with this fresh water, the fleet would be saved.

As for the food, it's a big deal to stay on this island for a while, and there is always a way to get it out of the way.

After all, the East China Sea fishery started with fishing, and although it is impossible to catch large yellow croaker by beating bamboo poles, it will not be starved to death in a short period of time by relying on the sea.

"Lao Zhu, do you want to see if the ship can get closer, let's quickly transfer this fresh water to the ship, but it won't be gone in a few days."

In order to settle down, Wei Chihuan felt that the top priority was to get fresh water to the boat first.

"No problem, I'll find a group of crew members with good water skills and dive underwater to confirm the route. It's just over a hundred steps left and right, and you can always avoid the reef. ”

Zhu Erfu also felt that Yu Chihuan's proposal was good, the sky and the earth were big, and the fresh water was the largest.

The docking of the ship did not take much time for everyone.

After a brief confirmation, I found that the direction of the cliff is simply a natural harbor.

If you can lean against this cliff when the hurricane comes, you may be able to survive unharmed.

By the time the sun faded into the sea, the freshwater reserves of the three ships had been completed.

At this point, the fleet was in no hurry, and now that the island was stationed, the food problem was settled.

Fortunately, although there was not much food on the ship, there was plenty of salt, and the compass was back to normal, so everyone was confident that they would be able to return safely.

"Brother Wei Chi, come over and take a look, are these the bird's nests that the prince once said?"

I don't know if I'm still worried about the bird droppings that fell from the sky, Fang Yiai went straight to the top of the cliff when he arrived on the island.

Along the way, piles of petrels were startled from time to time.

Looking at the appearance just now, it is estimated that there are not 100,000 petrels living on this island, but definitely 80,000.

"Bird's nest?"

After Fang Yiai said this, Wei Chihuan immediately walked forward quickly, took something from Fang Yiai's hand and looked at it carefully.

Abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, bird's nest, these things, they heard from Li Kuan's mouth.

They had eaten the first few things, but they heard that bird's nest was only available in Nanyang, and when Li Kuan mentioned it before, they didn't pay much attention to it.

See this thing now......

Could it be that bird's nest is really swallow's nest?

Is this stuff edible?

Looking at the bird's nest stained with petrel feathers in front of him, Yu Chihuan took it to his nose and sniffed it.

A strange smell rushed to your face!

"Brother Yu Chi, is the bird's nest that the prince said really this bird's nest?"

Seeing Yu Chihuan's disgusted expression, Fang Yiai couldn't help but be suspicious.

I've never heard of a bird's nest that can be eaten.

Chang'an City is not without swallows, and the black bird's nest is made of something.

This petrel's bird's nest, although the color looks a little different, can you eat it?

Yu Chihuan and Fang Yiai looked at each other.

"Or? Cook a few to try? ”

In the eyes of Fang Yiai, Li Kuan never missed it.

This time, he still chose to believe.

"It's okay to give it a try. But at least pick on these feathers, right? I don't believe that these hairs can still be eaten? ”

Yu Chihuan thought about the delicious fish troll he had eaten before, and then looked at the bird's nest in his hand, and felt that he couldn't eat it.

……

The consumption of bird's nest began in the Ming Dynasty. It's just that with the instigation of Li Kuan's butterfly, Yu Chihuan and Fang Yiai became the first to eat crabs.

On this desolate island, there is nothing to add.

After picking out the visible feathers, rinsing them with seawater, and throwing them into an iron pot to stew.

"Brother Yu Chi, you can taste it, this bird's nest seems to be really edible."

Fang Yiai was bold enough, and felt that it could not be poison left and right, and when he saw that it was almost cooked, he tasted a few bites first.

Although he didn't have much confidence in Fang Yiai's taste, Yu Chihuan still ate a few bites.

There is a faint fishy smell, and when you chew it gently with your teeth, it feels a little like shark fin.

Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Chu likes this kind of touch?

Yu Chihuan's thoughts couldn't help but drift away again.

As for this bird's nest, he can't associate it with deliciousness.

However, at least being able to eat this is proven.

Nowadays, the fleet is just short of food, since this bird's nest can be eaten, then regardless of whether it tastes good or not, get it on the ship first, and satisfy everyone's hunger.

Just do it, and as soon as it was dawn the next day, Yu Chihuan asked people to bring a team of cables to the top of the cliff.

Yesterday, he had already observed that the place with the largest number of bird's nests was on the cliff.

At a glance, it is densely packed with all of them, so that people with dense phobia can't help but get goosebumps when they see it.

"Brother Wei Chi, there are too many bird's nests, and you can catch several of them with your skills."

Fang Yi Aiyi was bold and personally descended the cliff along a cable.

It didn't take long for him to climb up with a basket of bird's nest on his back.

As for the swallows that were constantly circling and hissing on the cliff, he selectively ignored them.

I just destroyed your nest, and I didn't kill you, so you can just build another one.

"Hey, some bird's nests have bird eggs in them."

Yu Chihuan was a little pleasantly surprised to find that there were five or six finger-sized bird eggs in one of the bird's nests.

He is more acceptable to eat swallow eggs than to eat bird's nest.

"This egg is not as big as yours, so what's so delicious."

As soon as Fang Yuai's words came out, Wei Chihuan was completely speechless.

This layman doesn't want to talk to him anymore!

Plunges!

There are so many bird's nests on the cliff that in just one morning, the top of the cliff is full of small hills of bird's nests, and by the time the sun sets, at least a few thousand bird's nests have been moved to the cabin.

"This bird's nest seems to taste better than boiled fish, if you don't like it, then I'll eat more."

Fang Yiai gulped down bird's nest, this thing, not too hungry, eat more.

In this way, for several days in a row, those who caught fish caught fish, and those who looked for bird's nests looked for bird's nests, and the food reserves in the cabin soon increased.

Zhu Erfu's face finally began to smile.

"Lang Jun, we can consider returning tomorrow! All the way to the east, you should be able to reach Champa or Linyi. ”

"Well, let's have a good meal tonight, and we'll leave tomorrow."

Wei Chihuan's mood has also begun to improve in the past few days, but after all, he has been floating on the sea for so long, and his complexion is obviously not as good as before.

In fact, the crew of the entire fleet did not look good.

After all, the conditions on the ship are really rudimentary, and you don't have to think about fresh vegetables or anything.

Coupled with the fact that we experienced a storm and a freshwater and food crisis some time ago, it can be said that many people are a lot haggard.

If the island hadn't been found, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

However, the island, which had never been set foot by man, suddenly came to the island with a few boatloads of people, and the few trees on the island fell into bad luck, and were almost cut down and reduced to ashes, contributing to the hot food of the crew.

After Fang Yiai knew that he was going to leave tomorrow, he was a little reluctant, and he stood on the top of the cliff with a telescope, as if he wanted to see this cliff more clearly.

"Huh?"

Fang Yiai put down the binoculars and rubbed her eyes.

Then I picked up the binoculars and looked out into the northern seas.

In the field of vision, some trees are faintly visible.

Could it be that there is an island there?

However, the fleet has solved the problem of fresh water and food, and it seems that there is no point in discovering the island again.

Not right either.

This time the fleet came out mainly to explore the route, and the island had not been found for so long before, and now that I had found another one, it was necessary to go over and take a look at it and mark it on the chart.

Maybe the next time you come here, there is no water on the top of the cliff, then it will work.

Fang Yiai put down the binoculars and quickly headed down.

"Brother Cheng, Captain Zhu, there seems to be an island to the north."

"Huh? Another island to the north? ”

"Really?"

Yu Chihuan and Zhu Erfu were a little surprised.

When I wanted to find the island, I had to work so hard to find it.

When it was useless, I inadvertently found it again.

"It's true, you can see it with a telescope from the top of the cliff. However, I guess the island is still a bit far away, so I can't see it here. ”

During this time, there is really no one who is bored walking around the cliff top with a telescope, and if it weren't for the [00ks] Fang Legacy today, no one would really notice this island.

Soon, Yu Chihuan and Zhu Erfu came to the top of the cliff together and confirmed the existence of the island.

"Look at his green appearance, there should be a lot of trees on that island, why don't we go and have a look?"

Zhu Erfu felt that he had finally arrived in this sea area, and if he didn't figure out the surrounding situation, he was a little sorry for the adventure of this trip.

"Yes, it's just two more days. Besides, we don't know what surprises that island can bring us. ”

Naturally, Yu Chihuan would not object.

For the unknown exploration of Yuwang, his interest does not have to be low at all.

"That's right, go over and take a look, maybe you can pick up another bunch of bird's nests."

After eating bird's nest for a few days in a row, Fang Yiai actually liked it a little.

"Huh? Bereavement, why are you so ruddy? ”

In the past few days, Fang Yiai has gone out early and returned late, and Wei Chihuan has been busy leading people to fish, and he really hasn't looked at Fang Yiai in a bright environment.

Now, I suddenly found that this guy seemed to be radiant and looked much better than before.

Look at yourself again, at least I lost ten pounds of meat compared to Dengzhou, and the whole person looked a lot haggard.

"Fang Langjun, your complexion is indeed very good. I didn't seem to see you like this before? ”

Tuesday Fu also unexpectedly found that Fang Yiai's spiritual qi was actually very sufficient, and the skin on his face was black and red, not at all like a sailor who went to sea to drift.

"Huh? Have it? I just feel that I suddenly feel less irritable these days, and I sleep soundly. ”

Fang Yiai didn't know how he had this change.

Could it be ......

Fang Yiai looked at Yu Chihuan, and then looked at some bird's nests that had not been moved to the boat.

"I've been eating bird's nest these days, and the prince put bird's nest with sea cucumber, abalone, and shark fin, could it be that bird's nest is really a good thing?"
