Chapter 594: Amaterasu's Miracle
The scorching sun and sunlight pierced Zuo Di's skin like golden needles.
His skin was full of cuts, and the sea water had dried and turned into salt, which stuck to his wounds, like thousands of iron ants gnawing at his body.
However, he could only lie on the big plank, drifting with the tide, accumulating as much strength as he could.
The cliffs on three sides of the armory, only those who have committed capital crimes, will be thrown down, and there will be no survivors.
And in order to survive, Zuo Di could only jump off the cliff after detonating the armory.
Below the cliff was a reef, and the reef was full of sharp things such as oysters, and Zuo Di used his own treasure knife to stick it into the cliff and hung on the cliff, hoping to avoid the explosion.
However, the force of the explosion was too great, and the cliff was shaken and impacted, and he was like a ball on a mirror, rolling all the way down the cliff, if he wasn't wearing leather armor, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago.
Even so, he escaped death, and could only lie on the floating plank, but the slightest movement would tear open the wounds on his body, and he had no blood to shed, and now he could only resign himself to fate.
He didn't know where he had drifted to, and he didn't know how long he could hold on, it was completely life and death.
This situation is worse than in the black prison, in the black prison, he can still rely on his own means to survive, but now in this situation, he has indeed reached the end of the road.
The seabird stopped on his stomach and kept staring into his eyes, as if as soon as he closed his eyes, the seabird would treat him as a corpse, pecking open his stomach and pulling at his intestines.
Zuo Di's knife had been left in the sea, and the musket had become a burden to him, making him throw him into the sea, at this time he was defenseless, even if he endured the pain, the reaction would not be so fast.
Gritting his teeth, Zuo Di could only silently close his eyes and spit out the breath in his body for a long time, and his chest and abdomen quickly deflated, and he no longer bulged up.
The seabird waited for a long time, and found that its chest and abdomen finally stopped undulating, and it seemed that it had determined Zuo Di's death, so it began to peck at Zuo Di's belly, the wound cracked, blood splattered, and the bright red intestines were exposed!
Seeing that the intestines were exposed, the seabird quacked, and was about to peck at the delicious intestines with its mouth, but Zuo Di suddenly opened his eyes, quickly inhaled a breath, and made a lightning shot, strangling the seabird's neck!
Afraid that when the seabird struggled, the sharp claws would tear his intestines, and the little strength that Zuo Di had accumulated for a long time finally burst out, and he broke the seabird's neck and ripped off the bird's head!
Zuo Di put the seabird to his mouth, took the broken neck in his mouth and began to suck the warm blood, his throat stirred, and he swallowed it with a grunt, without wasting a single drop!
The experience in the black prison seems to come to mind again, eating raw food is already a common thing, and Zuo Di is also familiar with it.
Except for the indigestible bones and claws and feathers, this pigeon-sized seabird was not wasted at all.
He broke off the shell of the seabird's claws, and stabbed the shell into his belly with pain, and the curved claws were like pins, sewing his belly firmly together.
Zuo Di finally ran out of strength, this time he really passed out, and I don't know how long it took, the bird's blood and bird flesh in his stomach turned into energy, and Zuo Di woke up faintly.
His clothes were already in tatters, and his wounds were getting worse, but he still had some breath, and now he finally had some strength.
He didn't sit up, because it would be exhausting, he just turned around a little and began to tear the rotten planks with his fingernails.
Although the plank was his last support, and without it he would have fallen overboard, he still tore at the rotten plank, because there were maggots in the plank, which were large fat bugs, and if he could find them, he would be able to replenish a lot of energy!
The ship maggot did dig it up, but it looked so disgusting, this kind of fat worm without eyes, with a mouthpart full of fine teeth on the top of its head, this is the most disgusting kind of bug, ordinary people will have nightmares when they see it.
However, in order to survive, except for that little mouthpart, Zuo Di is not left, after biting open the somewhat tough skin, the green-black juice bursts out, and the strange and disgusting fishy breath gushes into his mouth and nose, but Zuo Di endures it and eats it all!
Although disgusting, the ship maggot is a bug after all, rich in a lot of protein, plus that seabird, Zuo Di finally has the strength to sit up.
He tore a few strands of thread from his tattered clothes, twisted them with his hands into a string with the mouthparts of the maggot, and threw them into the water.
It didn't take long for a group of mackerel to catch the little bit of maggots that were left, and Zuo Di saw the right time to catch one without much effort.
This mackerel is the size of half an arm, and Zuo Di finally sees the hope of survival!
By the next day, the dried fish had begun to dry on the board, and the wounds on Zuo Di's body were also nailed up with fish bones.
Fish bones will become hard when dried, but fresh fish bones are soft and tough, with a lot of plasticity, Zuo Di used this property to finally treat the wound temporarily.
However, this can only make him better, the sea water is salty, constantly stimulating the wound, if it is not cleaned with clean water in time, once the wound suppurates, Zuo Di will also die soon.
Fortunately, God favors it, the sea is calm, if there is a storm, I am afraid that Zuo Di will have no chance at all.
I really can't think about such a thought, Zuo Di was secretly glad just now, a dark cloud suddenly floated on the sea level, and the thunder snake and electric Jiao swam wildly in the dark cloud, and a big storm began to brew!
"This ...... Is it really heaven that wants me! Zuo Di raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance, his eyes were full of unwillingness!
He quickly stuffed all the dried fish into his mouth and chewed hard, because his teeth were loose, and his mouth was full of blood, but he didn't care about it.
Under the storm, this shipboard is absolutely untenable, he needs strength, he can only hold on to this shipboard, this is his only hope!
The wind and clouds on the sea changed suddenly, faster than in the phenomenon, dark clouds soon hung overhead, the wind was wrapped in rain, and the waves began to get angry, although the wound was cleaned by the rain, but the rain was extremely cold, Zuo Di's body was steaming, it was his body to keep out the cold.
It would drain his energy quickly, but the icy rain would keep him calm!
He took a deep breath, opened his chapped and blood-soaked lips, followed the rain in the sky, and tried his best to borrow a little strength from God to resist the coming wrath!
However, at this moment, a big wave swept in, throwing Zuo Di and the ship's board high, and then fell again, shaking Zuo Huang and almost couldn't hold on!
This is the beginning, the waves in the future will be as tall as the city wall, but Zuo Di has not given up, and he can't give up!
Zuo Di raised his head drenchedly, looked at the sky, and had some doubts in his heart, because the wind and rain were not as big as he imagined, and it was said that the huge waves and frenzy should not come so quickly.
He struggled to raise his head and look into the distance, hoping to identify the center of the storm, and it was at this moment that he finally understood why the waves had arrived early!
On his left, a big boat is floating and sinking in the waves, disappearing and disappearing!
Zuo Di didn't shout, because he knew that the wind and rain would drown out his voice, and it was just a waste of energy.
He took off all his tattered clothes, and staggered to his feet, like a surfer, like a trend-setter, the soles of his feet seemed to become the feet of an ape who was good at climbing, clutching at the somewhat slippery board, and then desperately waving the clothes in his hands!
He didn't know if the boat in the distance would see him, because it was too far away, and the boat was also sheltering from the storm, and even if it saw him, it might not turn back to save him.
And so it was, and the ship drifted away and slowly disappeared into the sea.
Zuo Di finally felt a little desperate, he sat down dejectedly, he was not afraid in his heart, he was just unwilling.
He stood up again, facing the coming storm, a man who was not too old in fact, a man who was reluctant to speak up for the sake of survival, roared at the storm.
"Come on! Come and take me! Even when he got to the bottom, the master was also a good man who cut Yama and cut the little ghosts! Come on! ”
His voice was soon drowned out in the waves, he had lost the board, the bones had been broken, the wounds had begun to bleed, and Zuo Di had risen out of the water, desperately searching for the board, but the board was long gone.
He endured the severe pain, and every movement seemed to tear his soul apart, but he still swam forward unwillingly.
Finally, he saw the ship again!
Yes, the ship is finally back!
However, because it was borrowed from the crosswind, the boat could not go against the wind, and the direction deviated a lot, Zuo Di mustered up all his strength, with the help of the waves, like a scarred dragon, burning his will, swimming into the distance!
The boat was finally unapproachable, but they lowered a dinghy, and three or five people rowed desperately to finally pull Zuo Di up.
Zuo Di finally passed out, and before he fell unconscious, he heard the crew repeating a sentence in the Japanese language.
"This is a miracle of Amaterasu, this is a miracle!"
The corners of Zuo Di's mouth showed a disdainful smile, this is certainly a miracle, but half of it was created by him!
He said in a daze, in the Uslav language, "I ...... I am a miracle......"
He finally passed out, but the crew's faces were full of consternation, they met for a moment, and then looked at Zuo Di, their eyes full of awe!
They are all old sailors, people who beg for a living at sea, they all believe in gods, they are all experienced people, from Zuo Di's body, you can see what Zuo Di has experienced.
It is precisely because of this that they understand better that Zuo Di is really qualified to say this sentence if he can survive!
Of course, they also admired the leader, because everyone wanted to escape the storm and abandon this man, but their leader said.
"I saw an auspicious ray, which was the grace of Amaterasu Okami to us."
In their eyes, the leader is a god on earth, and since the leader said so, then this must be the case.
And at this time, they finally confirmed again that the leader was indeed true to what he said, and they witnessed the miracle of Amaterasu!
