At this time, the sky had not yet brightened, and after Li Mo reached the top of the mountain, he was concentrating on stretching his muscles and bones, and suddenly heard a sound of small footsteps coming from the path leading to the top of the mountain, so he turned his head to look, and with the faint light that had just risen on the edge of the sky, he saw a small figure at a glance, holding a small burden and walking quickly to the top of the mountain.

Li Moyi was a little surprised, and when he looked at it, he realized that it was Xiao Mu who often avoided him these days.

Li Mo immediately stood up straight, walked a few steps to greet him, and said, "Little Mu girl, why did you come to this hill so early?" It's windy here, and it's still cold in the morning, so don't freeze. ”

Although the sky is not yet bright, but you can basically see the other party's face clearly, I don't know if Xiao Mu walked faster, after going up to the mountain, his face also looked a little red, and when he saw Li Moyi, he couldn't help but look a little twisted again.

She lowered her head to support a small burden in her hand, hesitantly approached Li Moyi, and handed the burden to Li Moyi.

Li Mo didn't know what was in the baggage, so he didn't immediately reach out to pick it up, but asked, "Is this for me?"

Xiao Mu finally nodded, and replied in a slightly twisted whisper: "Brother Li, my father often talks about how you sacrificed your life to save him these days, and always tells my brother and me, so that we don't forget Brother Li's kindness, and our family is very grateful to Brother Li......... But we didn't have anything to repay Brother Li, but we also asked Brother Li to break the bank and give me something so valuable........."

“……… When I was idle these days, I used the straw cloth that my father took off from the boat to sew a hat for Brother Li, my craftsmanship is not good, and I don't know if it is suitable for Brother Li, Brother Li, don't dislike it, I originally wanted my father to send it to Brother Li, but my father insisted that I personally hand it over to Brother Li........."

"The first few ......... A few days ago......... I......... I saw that Brother Li liked to come here in the morning, so I sent it to Brother Li......... Brother Li tried that if the size of this hat is not suitable, go back to me, and I will repair it for Brother Li again........."

When Xiao Mu said these words, her expression was very nervous, and her voice was very small, and she was a little stumbling, it seemed that Xiao Mu had a lot of courage when she said these words.

Regardless of whether Li Mo stretched out his hand to catch the little burden, he put the burden on the ground, turned around with his head down, and ran quickly towards the path down the mountain.

Li Mo looked at Xiao Mu who was rushing away, and his heart paused slightly.

Just now, Xiao Mu said that her father, Wang Lao Wu, asked her to hand over this set of hats to herself. But if this is the case, she can generously hand over this set of hats to him in front of everyone in the name of repaying her kindness, so that everyone knows the best, and she doesn't have to hide from everyone at all, but Xiao Mu She did it instead, ran to the mountain alone so early, and gave him a burden alone.

Looking at the back of Xiao Mu leaving in a panic in the morning light, Li Mo showed a trace of inexplicability on his face, and he was slightly stunned.

Li Mo thought as he squatted down, reached out and picked up the small bag that Xiao Mu had placed at his feet, and after opening it, a set of grass-green hats immediately came into his eyes.

The texture of the grass green cloth is good, according to Wang Lao Wu said that this is a kind of grass cloth produced in the local area of Suzhou, the dyeing is quite good, it does not fade, the cloth is strong and breathable, the price is not low, it is quite popular in the ocean and other worlds, and it is often trafficked by maritime merchants to other places such as the ocean and other places to sell, and sometimes a small amount is sold to the red-haired people in the Xiling area.

After discussing with Feng Jin and others, Wang Lao Wu thought that this kind of cloth could not be bought at a good price in this area, so it was better to leave it for use in the future to buy a few clothes and hats for the people on the island.

Seeing this straw hat, Li Moyi seemed to be a little sullen, and the bitterness on his face was even worse, the style of this hat was not bad, but this grass color was .........

That's it, maybe there are no such left-door statements in these years......... And after Li Mo tried it on carefully, this straw hat was very suitable for him, and if he wore it, he could barely make do with it.

After a while, Li Mo simply put on the straw hat.

The slightly rough thin cloth felt very comfortable caressing his head, Li Mo moved his head left and right, and found that this hat was really very suitable, not big, not small, not tall or short, and there was no feeling of hindrance on his head, as if it was specially made for him by a tailor.

Li Moyi was quite surprised, because as far as he knew, these days, except for the intersection of the first day, he had almost no communication with Xiao Mu, even if he touched it, it was very short, Xiao Mu would quickly avoid him, he really couldn't think of how Xiao Mu did it, just through visual inspection, he sewed this hat so the right size, it is estimated that the little girl has been secretly observing him secretly these days, otherwise, it is difficult to cut this hat so in line with him.

…………

…………

When Li Moyi walked back to the house on the island, the people on the island quickly noticed Li Moyi's new hat, and everyone didn't say anything, but everyone didn't understand it, Li Moyi has not been in the habit of wearing hats these days, why did he suddenly have a straw hat on his head today?

So everyone looked at Li Moyi with surprised eyes, trying to figure out where the new hat on his head came from.

But of course Li Moyi would not take the initiative to speak, and told everyone the origin of this hat, he greeted the people on the island all the way as usual, and strode towards the beach.

At this time, Wang Lao Wu slowly walked out of his thatched hut, obviously planning to go to sea by boat, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Li Moyi who was helping everyone on the island to clean up their fishing gear, and immediately saw Li Moyi's new hat, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, as if he was a little surprised.

As soon as Li Mo saw Wang Lao Wu coming over, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Wang Lao Wu, raised his eyes and looked at the brim on his head, he couldn't help but be stunned, and only nodded to Wang Lao Wu as usual.

After Wang Lao Wu looked Li Moyi up and down, his face looked a little inexplicable, as if he didn't know the origin of this hat, so he only said coldly: "Brother Li, the boat is ready, we can set off to the island in the east now!" ”

Li Moyi's heart was a little complicated for a while, and he didn't know if it was sadness or what it was like for a while, but when he went to sea, he couldn't afford to worry too much about this, and after taking a deep breath, he turned around and stepped on the boat.

…………

…………

The ship sailed on the calm sea for several hours.

Soon, under the setting sun, a black dot appeared at the end of the sparkling Oriental Ocean, and after a closer look, it was almost certain where it was an island.

At this time, the people who had been silent on the ship all day suddenly shouted, and the destination had finally arrived.

Everyone got busy, and began to work harder to shake the wooden pole to speed up the boat, even the people who were okay tried to find a plank on the boat, leaned down and paddled hard, trying to speed up the boat, it was going to be dark at this time, it would be good to be able to go to the island earlier, the sea vision was too wide, if it was completely dark, they were likely to lose their goal, and they might miss this island if they were not careful, so everyone did not dare to slack off, and began to work together to sail this small broken boat towards the island to the east.

After a lot of hard work, everyone was tired for a long time, and the sky was completely dark, but at this moment the moon rose in the sky, and they were much closer to the island to the east, and they could already see the island by the moonlight, so that they would not lose their target and miss the island again.

They saw the island at a great distance from the sea, but because of the slow speed of their ships, it took a lot of effort to get to the island, and the result was that they were busy until midnight, and finally exhausted their broken ship landed on the island, and according to the information they had learned from the previous inquiry, the ship stopped on the west side of the island.

Before the boat could get ashore, he jumped off the boat with a cheer of impatience, and rushed to the shore with a scream and stepping on the water. Be quiet!! This realm is not a peaceful place, we haven't figured out the situation yet, don't fuck there is a gang of pirates on the island, let's be unlucky, silence Lao Tzu!! ”

He staggered and rushed to the beach, and threw himself on the beach excitedly, but he still closed his mouth, and the coastal area is not very peaceful at the moment, and there are pirates entrenched on many islands, even if some islands are ordinary residents, these islanders are not good, and when they encounter people in distress, they may not be able to save them.

Feng Jin's worry was not unreasonable, so after he reminded him, the people on the boat immediately closed their mouths, did not dare to cheer loudly, and quickly threw down the cable, let the discord pull the boat to the seashore, tied it to a reef, and then began to disembark one after another.

Li Moyi deliberately brought the knife on the ship with him and prepared to defend himself.

The island was pitch black, and there was no light to be seen, so everyone did not dare to be careless, and cautiously began to inspect this small island, which was not large, and seemed to be smaller than the small island without a place.

The height of the island is not high, Li Mo visually measured it with the help of moonlight, the highest place is only seventy or eighty meters above sea level, and the area is less than one square kilometer, but there are indeed many trees on the island, most of them are some pine and poplar trees, and there are some wild grasses in the low ground.

He took the initiative to climb to the top of the place, looked around the island, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, big guy, there is no one on this island for the time being, and I can't see a boat, so I guess it's just us now!!" After Li Mo walked down, he said to the people on the boat.

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the fact that there was no one meant that their safety would not be threatened.

Hengzhu This is a desert island with no one for the time being, everyone on the boat also relaxed, Li Moyi helped Wang Lao Wu to a dry place, and Murong Madman also took out the fire sickle from his arms, and asked Buhe and the other two young people to find some dry wood and hay, and it took a long time to finally light the fire and light a bonfire, and the fire suddenly lit up the surroundings.

After a cursory inspection, everyone finally determined that there was indeed no one on the island now, this is a standard desert island, the island is mostly some seabirds and trees, the dense pine forest is full of guano and bird nests, the frightened seabirds at night are not making a noisy sound, as long as you pay a little attention, you can pick up a lot of bird eggs with your head down, so after everyone turned around, they all picked up some bird eggs.

In addition, there doesn't seem to be any spring water on the island, but a young man accidentally found a small cave on the hill, and found a pool of clear water in the cave, it is estimated that the rainwater seeped down from above and accumulated there, so he immediately shouted loudly and beckoned Li Moyi and the others over.

Seeing this pool of clear water in the cave, the boat was hard at sea, and the discord of not drinking water for a day immediately cheered strangely, and he wanted to pick it up and drink it happily, but he was immediately stopped by Li Moyi, who was holding a torch.

With what he knew before, Li Moyi felt that if it wasn't for the spring water that kept surging in this uninhabited desert island environment, it was likely to be polluted to a certain extent, even if it was fresh water, there might be a lot of microorganisms and bacteria in it, and now that they were in this environment, once they drank their stomachs, they didn't even have a place to find herbs for treating diarrhea, and a little carelessness might kill them.

"This water looks very clear, it shouldn't be fine if you drink it!!" looked at this clear water with unsightly eyes, licked his chapped lips and said to Li Moyi, looking like he wanted to pounce on it and drink a happy stance.

Li Moyi looked around at the small cave, shook his head and said: "Don't drink it, the stored water on the ship can still deal with it, if you want to drink this water, you must boil it before drinking, the water here is not as clean as you see, let's be careful, if you are very thirsty, first take some water dripping from the rock wall and drink some, otherwise it may make you stomach ........."

Now that he knew that Li Mo had seen more than them, it must be reasonable to say this, so he could only swallow two mouthfuls of spit, nodded and drilled out of the cave, and after a while, he found an iron pot from the broken boat, scooped the water from the bottom of the cave into the pot, and brought it out.

After a while, everyone boiled the pot of water, let it cool a little, and they couldn't wait to drink it in a big gulp, the water didn't have much smell, and the taste was okay, Li Mo was relieved after tasting it, and drank it happily with a bowl in his hand.

…………

…………

For the next two days, the people were busy on the island, using everything they could find at their disposal to repair the broken boat.

There was natural limestone on the island, which was burned on the fire to make it lime, plus a limited amount of dried bark fibers, and some plant ash, plus pine resin that they temporarily scraped from the mountain pine, which was used to fill the leaking seams of the ship, and tamped with wooden wedges, which basically solved the problem of water leakage in the ship.

In addition, Li Moyi took the incompatibility to find a pine tree on the island that was still straight, and dragged it to the beach after cutting it down, Wang Laowu, Feng Jin, and Murong Maniac only used limited tools to find ways to stand this wood on the ship, acting as a temporary mast, and sharpening some wooden nails, reinforcing the hull, although it is not as strong and durable as the previous mast, and the height is insufficient, but at least it can be regarded as half of the sail that can be raised, compared to them close to the wooden sail, it is much more labor-saving, which provides a strong guarantee for the ship to go to sea.

As for the rudder, they repaired and strengthened it again, and after trying it, it was a good thing to do, although it was very simple, but in this way the ship was restored to a new sailing ability.

In the past two days, everyone was busy repairing the ship, and the food and water brought by them were quickly bottomed out.

Fortunately, they were prescient enough to worry about food and fresh water, and there was enough rainwater to drink in the small caves on the island.

In addition, there are many birds on the island, and there are countless seabirds that inhabit and breed here, so you can easily pick up enough eggs and catch them at night.

In addition, there are a large number of unknown shellfish and crabs on the beaches around the island, and occasionally some marine fish trapped in puddles at low tide can be caught on the beach, so Li Moyi and his gang have not worried about food problems in the past few days.

Moreover, these people obviously have the consciousness of stockpiling food, and they will catch birds, fish, eggs and other things that cannot be eaten for a while, and either boil them with salt and pickle, or smoke them with pine branches to dry and store them, so they can be said to have made all preparations.

Although there were two heavy rains during this period, the people hid in the small cave on the island, but they did not suffer any serious crimes, and by the way, they collected a lot of water, and filled the small tank of the ship with water.

Under their busyness, that is, at the snap of a finger, they stayed on the island for seven or eight days.

With their joint efforts, the ship was gradually and successfully repaired.

On the morning of the ninth day after landing on the island, after a final careful inspection and confirmation that there were no major problems, they once again pushed the boat back into the sea, first rocked the sails and sailed away from the beach, then raised the sails, and sailed in the direction of the islandless island by the sea breeze, leaving the island behind.

When they watched the sails of the ship that had eaten the wind and drove the ship to start moving at a rapid pace, the people on board, whether old or young, could not help but cheer.

Once the ship has been completely restored, it is much faster to sail on the seas.

After just over half a day's sailing, everyone on board returned to the small island without a place.

This time, Li Moyi didn't stay long, and after simply settling down the dozen young people on the island, he embarked on the journey back to the north with Wang Laowu, Feng Jin, Murong Madman, and Wang Gu.

…………

…………

The speed of the ship had been greatly accelerated after Xiushan, and in less than two days, Li Mo saw the land from a distance.

I couldn't help but cheer in my heart, and after Wang Lao Wu, Feng Jin, and Murong Madman carefully observed, they immediately determined their location.

"Haha......... Feng Jin!! Do you still recognize this place? Wang Lao Wu patted the side of the boat and laughed and asked Feng Jin.

Feng Jin stared at the land in the distance, with a smile on his face, and replied with a smile: "Of course, I'm not blind, isn't this the Liling City where we used to fish in the past?" Ha ha......... Okay, if it goes on like this, if it goes well, there will be three or five hours at most, and we will be able to return to the northern land, turn the sails, turn the sails, Murong Madman, turn the rudder, see that it is here, let's hurry up and go ashore........."

As soon as Li Mo heard that this was the Liling City in the northern country, he became even more excited, and the northern country that he wanted to return to in his heart could be said to have gone through thousands of tribulations, and he finally survived again.

The next few hours of the voyage can be described as smooth sailing.

However, the newly reinforced mast is a little low, so that the sails cannot be fully raised, and the wind direction has changed, and the sails are not fully windy, so that the speed of the ship is slightly slower than before, and it is also more troublesome when adjusting the sails, and the rudder board is temporarily patchwork, which makes it easy for the ship to deviate sometimes when it is manipulating, but with old sea wolves like Murong Maniac and Feng Jin and them controlling the rudder, it will not deviate too much.

…………

…………

Soon, compared to the time that Wang Lao Wu had expected, they saw the shore a little later, and when they saw the land appear in front of them, everyone shouted again, this time after so many twists and turns, they finally returned to this land again.

And Li Moyi was even more so, he couldn't help but be a little excited, standing on the boat and roaring towards the infinite sky from afar.

As they approached the port of land, their ships were also seen by the people on land, and in a short time some local guards in poor uniforms rushed to the front, sabers in hand, as if something important had happened.

Li Mo glanced at the situation on the shore, and out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently swept to a local guard who seemed to be holding a scroll in his hand, and he didn't know what it was for. With a slight curiosity in his heart, he quickly took a closer look, but the scroll was tightly held in the hand of a local guard, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the details in the scroll, and his heart suddenly hung in the air.

However, Li Moyi was not too worried, after all, he had lost the news of his going to sea for more than two months, and I am afraid that no one would know about it for a long time, and he had never been to this Liling City before, so it was not necessary to say that the guards on the shore were patrolling the smuggling ships as usual, so after he thought of this, he was somewhat relieved.

…………

…………

After the boat came ashore, the sword-wielding guards on the shore rushed up, and the first person said, "Conduct a routine investigation, where did your boat come from, have you ever seen a person named Li Moyi?" ”

Seeing the sword-wielding guards who stopped a boatload of people in vain, the people on the boat immediately panicked, and Feng Jin, as the person in charge of the island, also replied at this time: "Brothers, this ship is carrying goods, from our hometown in Suzhou, as for the person you said, we have never heard of it........."

The first half of what Feng Jin said was naturally false, and the second half of this sentence was indeed the truth.

Previously, the people on the island were only curious about his life experience, and listened to him sigh for a few days and nights, but they didn't know much about Li Moyi's surname, except for knowing that Li Moyi's surname was Li, everything else was completely unknown, Li Moyi also understood the reason that one thing was better, plus the notoriety of Li Moyi, who made the city of Hades, dominate the city, and then did not make any trouble, and told everyone on the island his real name.

Seeing the local guard holding a knife to stop the ship, he opened his mouth and asked about his whereabouts, at this time Li Mo couldn't help but be a little surprised, he had been gone for more than two months, and he didn't want to think about what happened in this northern country.........

"This poor brother, dare to ask what is the origin of this Li Moyi, why do you want to take him?" Li Mo was puzzled, and immediately asked.

A sword-wielding guard at the head quickly set his eyes on Li Moyi, who was speaking, only to see that this person was slightly taller than these black and thin boatmen, and this complexion was different, not like a perennial boat runner, and he was also suspicious in his heart, and immediately frowned,

At this time, one of the guards next to him replied, "You don't know this? Not long ago, a foreign bandit brigade came to attack on a large scale, and several small towns along the coast of my northern country were disturbed, and they were looking for a person, and this person was the head of Li Mo and Li .........."

"Almost everyone in the northern country knows about this incident, but you don't know about it?"

"Brother Cha, we were all running boats at sea a few months ago, how can we know so much news, don't blame it........." Li Mo's heart was immediately shocked when he heard it, but his face remained unchanged, and he only echoed in unison.

At this time, the guard at the head seemed to be suspicious, slowly unfolded the scroll that had been closed in his hand, and secretly looked at Li Moyi.

Sensing the other party's gaze, Li Mo lowered his head slightly, and pressed the brim of the straw hat on his head down again, slightly blocking his face.

In the middle of the night, there was silence all around.

The crowd seemed to be waiting to hear the verdict.

………

The next moment.

"That's it, it's really a boat of ignorant sea people, remember to listen to the wind more in the future, and go quickly........."

………

Hearing that they were successfully released, the hearts of a boatload of people immediately sank, but they were not worried about the same problem as Li Moyi.

If the valuables on this ship are all smuggled goods, if they are found out by the people of the mission, they will naturally be imprisoned for several years, and now they have been successfully released, and everyone on the ship is relieved, and they will only think that they will live for the rest of their lives after the disaster.

…………

In the hazy smoke and rain, Wang Gu skillfully laid a net on the boat, and caught all the fresh and jumping fish in the fish cabin, and picked them up in one hand.

At this time, a few old guys on the boat began to meet with small codes in their eyes, and soon several people understood their minds.

Let Wang Gu lead Li Mo to pretend to sell fish, and then wait for the people from the mission to disperse, and then find a way to sell the goods on the ship.

After everyone negotiated, Wang Gu greeted Li Moyi and walked with him towards the fish market on the shore.

…………

…………

When the two of them got to the shore, they carried the basket on their backs and set out on their way, but they did not go to sell the fish, but to find a place to destroy them.

When he walked to the jungle path halfway down, Wang Gu also picked a handful of wild onions and some mugwort leaves, saying that he was going to cook all the fish and drink fish soup.

…………

…………

In the middle of the night, the two finally succeeded in getting rid of the fish.

But when the two returned to the vicinity of the ferry, Li Moyi became alert!!

The muddy path by the ferry was littered with horseshoe prints, and from a distance, there was a bright light on the ship, and the cabin door was wide open.........

Wang Gu also discovered the abnormality, dropped the fish basket and rushed to the boat, Li Mo wanted to stop it too late, so he had to take out the knife he had prepared earlier from his arms and quickly followed.

The ship was in a mess, debris was scattered all over the place, and Wang Lao Wu was unconscious on the ground, his face full of red stains.........
