After a long while, Shi Jinxiao and Xia Zisu woke up one after another. Everyone went with the flow, ate some dry food and drank water, Yan Hong said: "Envoy, where are we here?" Shi Jinxiao smiled bitterly: "There is no sun on this sea, and you can't see the direction, how can you know the way?" I just hope that I don't meet sharks, but I hope that I will be carried by this current to a populated island, or I will meet a boat, and then it will be fine. Xia Zisu closed her eyes slightly and didn't speak. Yan Hong was worried that she had suffered internal injuries, but when she asked her, she did not answer.

The day passed gloomily. At night, the three of them were soaked and shivering with cold. Fortunately, the season is still warm, the water temperature is not low, and Yan Hong, Shi Jinxiao and others are still strong and can withstand it. And it came to pass at dawn on the third day, that the clouds were open overhead, and it was a sunny day. When Yan Hong woke up, he saw that there was an island in front of him, and said busily: "There is an island there!" Only then did he realize that his voice was a little hoarse.

Shi Jinxiao and Xia Zisu opened their eyes when they heard this. Shi Jinxiao watched the direction of the sea current, and said, "Xiqing, virtuous nephew, please untie the rope." When I gave the order, we abandoned the mast and swam ashore together. Otherwise, if you miss this island, you won't know where to drift next. ”

Yan Hong and Xia Zisu nodded together. So the three of them drifted along for a while, and Shi Jinxiao looked at the direction and shouted, "Let's go!" The three of them let go, took the package, and struggled to the island. This section was not far away, and I pedaled and stepped on it, and soon came to the shore. However, Shi Jinxiao and Xia Zisu also have no strength. Yan Hong dragged the two of them to the beach, and he lay on the beach on all fours with his hands weak, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Stay until you wake up. The sun has set in the west. Yan Hong opened his eyes, only to realize that his limbs were like falling apart. Shi Jinxiao on the side had just woken up, and Xia Zisu seemed to be still in a coma. Looking at the island where it is located, it is not small, at least a few miles in radius. They came ashore on a pebble beach with some moss on the stones. Looking towards the center of the island, the terrain is gradually getting higher, and there is no grass or trees to be seen.

Shi Jinxiao looked left and right for a while, nodded to Yan Hong and said, "Teacher, come here." ”

Yan Hong didn't know what kind of medicine the other party was selling. Then he followed the other party to the side. I just vaguely felt that Shi Jinxiao in front of me. His eyes were shining, not as bad as usual. And looking at his mental state, he seems to be much stronger than himself, not like the waste wood he looked like when he was fighting in the waves yesterday.

The two of them went behind a boulder. Shi Jin filial piety said: "Teacher." The student just looked at it. During this storm, more than half of the dry food I had prepared in advance was lost, and the stock of fresh water was also limited. I don't know how far this island is. It's a nameless desert island after all. Although the disaster of the big waves without a top is avoided here, I am afraid that there is a lack of food and water, and it is not comfortable. ”

Yan Hong smiled: "What should I do?" It doesn't hurt to do that. We are the Qin cha sent by the Heavenly Family, and now the deputy envoy is missing together, and it is estimated that the Guangdong Navy Master has already been looking for us with his life. Hold on for a few days, nothing happens. If you starve for a day and a half, you can't die. ”

Shi Jinxiao said: "Teacher, if the water master can come, everything will naturally be fine." Students can see that we encountered a storm the night before yesterday and drifted downstream, and we didn't know where we landed. And whether Deng Zilong and other officers and soldiers of the Navy Division who accompanied him could have the life to go ashore alive are all in two words. Even if one of them dies and the sailor wants to come to us, this sea is vast, and there are many nameless desert islands, so it is not surprising that we will not be able to find us for a few months. This island is barren, and by that time, we will have no water or food, but we will be dead. ”

Yan Hong groaned: "What about your opinion? ”

Shi Jin Xiaodao: "Teacher, according to the student's opinion, the only way to prepare is to prepare in advance and take precautions. Prepare dry food first. If the rescue comes quickly, it will be good. If the rescuers don't come, they can also support for a while. ”

Yan Hong said: "It's okay, wait for Zisu to wake up later, let's go to the depths of the island and see if we can get something to eat." ”

Shi Jinxiao's face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher, the dry food that the student said is Xia Zisu!" ”

"What?" This time it was Yan Hong's turn to be surprised. "Shi Jinxiao, you make your words clear."

Shi Jinxiao's face showed a hint of gloom: "What's not clear about this?" Although the teacher was born in a wealthy family, he also helped Shandong and saw the scene of the disaster. Don't you know that there is a great hunger and cannibalism? ”

"Nonsense!" Yan Hong scolded him, but his body couldn't help but take two steps back: "You are also a scholar, how could you think of eating people?" ”

Shi Jinxiao stepped forward and said, "Teacher, how is this nonsense? Thinking that the student's hometown suffered a disaster, and the student's family suffered, if he hadn't eaten his little sister first, then his father, and his mother after the worst, how could he have today's Shi. ”

Yan Hong didn't expect that Shi Jin Xiaotang Tang Guo Dynasty Jinshi not only had been a poor person at the beginning, but also had eaten people. He was surprised and said, "Then what you told me before, there are thieves who came to steal your grain and were killed by you......"

Shi Jin Xiaodao: "Yes, they are thieves. At that time, I finally made up my mind to kill my mother, and they came to rob me just after the meat was cooked. You say these thieves, are they extremely hateful? I, Shi Jinxiao, swear to the sky, whoever dares to steal my food, I will take someone's life! I killed them and made them my meal, and survived the famine before I could pass the examination. What is cannibalism? This is what my father said, as long as I can enlarge the lintel of my Shijia and change the courtyard, my sister will be such a money-loser, and she will eat it. Since I can eat my sister, my father is old and useless, and his body is not good, so he naturally has to eat it. Although my mother is good to me, she is old and weak, and most of them will not survive that disaster year. It is only natural that they will fulfill me and make my Shi family prosperous in the future. I am the hope of the Shi family, and I can't die. ”

Yan Hong saw that as soon as the other party fell into memories, he took three points of madness, and couldn't help but take a few steps back. His two muskets did not leave his body, but he did not know if he could successfully fire them after a night of wind and rain. Don't look at Shi Jinxiao as a civil official, and he is injured, but at this time, it still makes Yan Hong feel a little scary. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Yan Hong coughed and said, "However, at the moment, I am waiting on the island, and I can try to find some fruits, hunt some beasts, and catch some fish." Why do you have to eat people by eating the sea? ”

Shi Jinxiao shook his head and said, "Teacher, you are a person who has never begged for a life by the sea. Look at this deserted island, bare, not even a tree grows, where is the fruit, where is the beast? How can it be so easy to catch fish? Even if you catch some shrimp and shells near the shore, how can you eat enough for three people? If it had been so easy to survive, there would have been no famine on the seashore. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said, "It's a blessing for the teacher to take a fancy to this slut. But she didn't want to give her face herself, and she did everything possible to push and push, and when she returned to Guangdong, she turned her face and left. Maybe one day she will become someone else's mother-in-law, what's the use of keeping it? It's better to kill it, so that you and my master and apprentice can live for a few more days and increase the hope of survival. Moreover, there is a big difference between three people and two people. Xia Zisu is also a martial artist, and she eats and drinks more than ours, maybe she can eat as much as you and my master and apprentice. And if she recovers her strength and her injuries improve, the two of us together are not her opponents, and when she runs out of food, she wants to eat us, how can she resist? Therefore, the first to strike is stronger, and the last to strike. If we kill this little lady today, we will be able to eat meat and drink blood, and our master and apprentice will be able to suffer for a few more months, and it will not be enough to fall into her calculations. ”

Yan Hong had already calmed down from Fang Cai's shock at this moment, and said coldly: "Then if you finish eating Xia Zisu, are you going to eat me?" ”

Shi Jinxiao shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the teacher will not dare to offend the teacher even if he dies." Teacher, please think about it, you and I will go out of Beijing together, if you have any mistakes, I will go back alive, and Yuan Weng will let me go? Can the little pavilion spare me? Teacher, you don't know what kind of life I have been in the pedestrian division. Fourteen years of pedestrians, fourteen years of pedestrians! The newcomer Si Zheng has to ask me what bad rules the pedestrian department has, but not only does he not pay two respects every year, but sometimes he can't send it, and he has to rely on pawns to make a living! Why don't I want to fly Huang Tengda, why don't I want to travel thousands of miles? Don't I want to have a group of wives and concubines and a lot of money? It's just that all this must be fulfilled by the teacher, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve. If the teacher has three longs and two shorts today, I will be in a situation where life is worse than death. So don't worry, I will never do any harm to my teacher. I know that Master Lu Dao is bent on thinking about this Xia girl, and if this will eat her, it will inevitably be a pity. It's better to take advantage of her being unconscious now, ask her first, and then kill her with a knife to eat meat, which can be regarded as fulfilling your wish. This Nizi's kung fu is far above you and me, and although she is injured now, she should not be taken lightly. Why don't you tie her up first, and then rest assured. With that, he drew his sword.

Yan Hong saw that Shi Jinxiao spoke clearly and eloquently, not as if he had lost his mind for a while. And the tone is high-pitched, full of energy, and it seems that he is in good spirits. If you refuse to scold him head-on, you won't be able to make this dog jump off the wall in a hurry, and you won't be sure that you can restrain him. He groaned slightly, sighed, and said, "What you said is reasonable. However, Shisu is my sweetheart, so it's a pity to kill him like this. Well, after I have had a good time with her, I will only tie her up, and give her no water, but not kill her. If the rescue arrives in these two days, then her life can be saved. If we run out of dry food and the rescuers don't come, we have to sacrifice her. This matter is back in the court, if you dare to confide half a word, I will ask my grandfather to kill you Manchu. ”

Shi Jinxiao saw Yan Hong's mouth relieved, and said happily: "The teacher is kind-hearted, and this little girl is also a nobleman." However, she is very powerful, just tied up, I don't know when she will recover her strength, you and I may not be able to control her. So after the teacher was happy, we had to waste her hands and feet to avoid future troubles. If the rescuers don't come, it naturally doesn't make much difference, if they are saved soon, although this Nizi has lost her hands and feet, but she has left her life, and the teacher naturally has a way to favor her. The students didn't see anything and didn't say anything. (To be continued......)
