Chapter 18: No Wind and Waves
In addition, they never got more valuable information. Except for what had already been said, the two children were almost unaware of the questions and could not shake out any more information. However, there is a way to get to the island - these days, Qi Huan observed the relationship between the moon phase and the waves, and found that in general, the tides here are affected by the moon phase to a certain extent, just like other places. Usually two or three days after the first and fifteenth days of each month, there is a big tide. The two or three days after the eighth and twenty-third days of the first lunar month are the time when the tidal range is the smallest. In recent days, the tide has stabilized, making it suitable for travel. Merely...... They still can't explain the strange trend and abnormal weather of the previous day. Even if you ask the two children, they only say vigilantly that it is the punishment of the sea god for you.
Fuck Poseidon.
As for the two children...... The maximum load they considered when repairing the ship could only fit four adults. And the "fourth person" is still the resources they have collected on the original ship or on the island...... and the weapons of two men. If you give up these, it's still okay to bring two children, but for Bai Ya...... It's still cumbersome.
The most important thing is the opinion of Xiaojie and Xiaoju: obviously, they don't plan to go with them. It's not impossible to tie them back to the island and show them the way, I'm afraid that these two children will be on the way, scuttle the boat, and form a group to meet Lord Poseidon. But they were left to fend for themselves on rafts at sea...... How much it violates the spirit of humanitarianism.
So, the one surnamed Bai dismantled their raft.
The resources of this desert island are quite abundant, and as far as they have observed in the past few days, there are no large beasts that pose a threat to their lives. Unless these two children can get out of the boat on their own, they will not be able to do without it in a year or two. Qi Huan and Jun Aoyan felt somewhat inappropriate at first, but in the end they did not raise objections. Quite simply, because they couldn't think of a better way, Qi Huan was scolded back as soon as he opened his mouth when he tried to discuss rationally.
Just in case, I ran away overnight while the two children were asleep.
They didn't know if it was the worst tide, but the sea was calm and seemed safe. There is also a reason why the day was not chosen: even though it was only two children, the belief in the so-called sea god had reached this point. If you come into contact with those islanders head-on, you don't know what trouble you will encounter.
Qi Huan, who has a "little understanding" of yin and yang, said that he couldn't find more suitable props except for paddles. Spells that can make the tide and summon water require more rigorous props, and they are not without ...... All confiscated by the sea. But he came up with a solution: to put a special charm on each of the homemade rudimentary oars. This charm can repel water. Although it is not possible to protect such a large amount of sea, it is still possible to protect a ship.
"Originally, it would be safer to put a few more pieces on the ship, but ......" Qi Huan counted the remaining charms, "I have to save some money, and I don't know if I can buy suitable talisman paper in the southern country." β
"Do you have any silver?" Jun Aoyan suddenly asked.
Bai Ya was silent for a moment, and grabbed a handful of crumpled paper that had been soaked in water and dried. They are screwed together, and it is difficult to separate, let alone whether the handwriting on them can be read or not. Qi Huan was silent for a while, and then found a pocket, and the broken silver in it was pitifully small and clanging. On the side of the boat, the two of them looked at Jun Aoyan at the same time.
"The court should have given you a lot of money, right?"
Jun Aoyan looked at the place where the ship was ruin.
"What did you salvage from there?"
"It's all here." Qi Huan lifted the two large boxes next to the boat, "A little cloth before drying; A bag of seeds, half of which was washed away after a breach, and the remaining eighty percent were about to germinate...... Later, some Yin-Yang magic equipment floated to the shore one after another, but they were not of much use, most of them were a little broken, and I also packed them in. Presumably, it was the box that was broken. β
"No silver?" Jun Aoyan said, "Taishi specially explained that there is a box, locked, and it is full of money. β
"Even if it's gone." Qi Huan shook his head, "A box full of silver...... I'm afraid that it has sunk to the bottom, and there is nowhere to fish. β
The three of them were awkwardly silent for a while. Forget it, if you are poor, you will be poor, who has not lived a poor life, it is the same everywhere. Hastily got into the water, and on the quiet sea, they swung their oars. The current is not completely calm, after all, it is the sea, and even small tides have a slight tidal effect. Surprisingly, with such a shoddy oar, they were able to swing and push the boat forward with ease. Jun Aoyan raised the oar to observe, and there was no water stain at all. This spell is really useful.
The disembarkation went more smoothly than expected. There were no more winds and waves along the way, and the sea was so quiet that it was impossible to relate the horrors that had been. Anyway, insisting on one action in one or two hours is somewhat tiring, and the three of them are replaced. At first, their cooperation did not go well, and after a while the boat turned in the other direction. But there was no point in arguing on the vast sea, and several people were forced to run into each other without saying a word, and finally got closer and closer to the main island.
The small, dilapidated boat came to shore, and the sky was still dark. The faint moonlight and starlight were hazy, and could only make a faint outline on the sea. When they got off the boat and looked at the quiet beach, they had a strange feeling.
"Go find cover." Bai Ya whispered, "Move your luggage to a safe place first." β
There are strange traces on the beach, as if some kind of big festival was held. If you think about it carefully, it should be the sea god who gave the boy and the girl to the celebration. There was no one to clean up here, and there was a pile of food, vegetables and fruits on the side. How come these weren't sent away with the waves? They don't know. But what caught the eye was a huge, moss-covered wooden boat. It was so large that they were mistaken for a reef or a mountain on a previously deserted island.
It's definitely not safe, and it could even be a threat. There was a dense bush in the distance, and they crept to pack up their baggage and move them to the bush. So far it was safe, Qi Huan took one last look at the dilapidated ship and thought for a long time.
"Is that going to be dragged too?"
"Push it into the sea." Bai Ya said.
Qi Huan was a little worried: "Will it alarm the sea god?" β
", we've got it all on such a big ship."
Jun Aoyan was also a little worried, but her position was like this: "What if you drift back to a desert island?" Those two children ......"
"With such a large sea, how can you go back so accurately? Even if it is towed to the shore, sooner or later it will be discovered. β
"That's right." Qi Huan clapped his hands, "Then who is going to push it away?" β
There is still some distance from the shore here, and no one is too lazy to move the boat after rowing for so long. But just as he finished saying this, Bai Ya and Ao Yan took a step back neatly.
"What do you do! How can you be so united at this time! β
"Shhhhh
"I won't do it!"
"Why don't I run with you again." Bai Ya suddenly tilted his head and looked at the seaside, "I care a little about that ship." Is there a sign of the imperial court on the ship? It looks like it's been a few years, and I don't know when it came. β
"It's so big, maybe it's for transporting troops, and the time should be right." Ao Yan also looked over, "But there were a lot of ships at that time...... It's a lot. Is there just that? β
"Let's go check it out."
The three of them hid their baggage and walked to the shore one last time. Qi Huan went over there to push the boat, Bai Ya and Jun Aoyan took their weapons and touched them in the direction of the boat. Bai Ya pressed against the damp planks and touched them, which were covered with barnacles. It stands to reason that the wood and metal have been damaged after so many years of no maintenance, but at the moment it seems to be intact and about someone to take care of it. There is a large hole in the side of the boat, and the edges are traces of decay of wood. Bai Ya jumped and deftly got in. The position was a little high, and Jun Aoyan didn't know where to start, so he split it with a Mo knife. In the quiet night, there was a piercing sound, which shook Qihuan on the shore. Bai Ya glared back at her, and she helplessly spread her arm on one side, indicating that there was nothing she could do.
That weird feeling lingers all the time.
To put it mildly, it's like an illusion of being observed. It's as if in this night, this wide coast and inside the cramped boats, this feeling is the same. Moreover, there were more than one pair, and there were countless pairs of cold and cold eyes staring at them, and these eyes followed them wherever they went.
That must not be well-intentioned.
At present, the owners of these gazes have no inclination to attack. These judgments, Jun Aoyan, who has been on the battlefield for many years, is very keen. But she doesn't like the feeling of being watched, and exposure means danger, the possibility of being attacked at any time. Bai Ya was also familiar with this feeling, but he didn't care even more. Since you choose to lurk in the shadows and choose to be the dominant party, you shouldn't have any complaints even if you are counter-killed, right?
There was no light source in Bai Ya and Aoyan's hands, and everything they could see was the handout of faint light through the tattered hull.
"There's nothing special here." Bai Ya whispered, "It's all emptied." β
Truly. The sound that Jun Aoyan made when he split the plank, there could also be a faint echo. It's empty, and there's nothing useful or useless.
β¦β¦ But it's not so empty. Bai Ya judged from that sound that on the ceiling and on the walls, there were additional things with vitalityβthings that moved. He had expected the battle to be imminent, but it didn't. Now, both sides are in a state of readiness.
"I'mβ"
The frightened cries of prayer came from the beach.
Immediately after, piercing roars came and went, and the ship seemed to have activated some formation, and countless terrifying black shadows rushed out. With limited light sources, they can't see anything clearly, and resist instinctively in the dark. The weapon made a crisp sound when it came into contact with the weapon, and the two knew that the enemy was also holding a weapon. Slashing and running inside the ship, they ran in the direction of Pray Huan.
Bai Ya slashed through the last layer of obstacles, and the night light burst like a bank.
