Chapter 283: Water Scarcity Crisis

i^i^

Hearing his words, Su Yirong was stunned. I immediately thought of the sea burial of their crew. I couldn't help but sigh." A few people died last night."

"Five. Three people were able to find their bodies. The other two were blown straight into the sea. I can't even find the body." Leng Yanxi looked at Su Yirong as he spoke. Seeing that she was still staring at the funeral. I wanted to pull her away.

I don't know what came to mind. Gave up on what to do. Gently put down your hand.

"Do you often get dead on sea voyages?" Su Yirong didn't notice the change in him. Just watching them perform a simple ceremony. Suddenly asked.

"It won't be. But the weather in this sea is always fickle. Maybe it's going to be dangerous. It's normal to have an accident." Leng Yanxi explained softly. However, these are not often encountered. Otherwise, who would be in the navy?"

"But I have to admit that the danger at sea is indeed higher than on land." Su Yirong shook his head. Yanxi. They're actually quite pathetic. In order to earn more money to subsidize the family. It's such a big risk."

"So I gave them the best treatment. It's worthy of their dedication." Leng Yanxi replied.

Su Yirong smiled and shook his head. That's not what I'm talking about. Yanxi. Have you ever thought that this ship is good now? But it still can't withstand the wind and waves.

Now we have so much silver. Isn't it possible to build bigger and better ships? It can withstand the wind and waves later."

"Build bigger ships." Leng Yanxi was stunned. But immediately fell silent again. Maybe it's thinking about the feasibility of the matter.

"If we had a bigger ship. Able to withstand wind and waves. You can be sure that what happened today will not happen again. It can make the navy more powerful. Why not." Su Yirong saw that he was silent. He smiled and continued.

"You're right. This one can be tried. When I go back, I'll discuss it with my thirteenth brother." Leng Yanxi is also decisive. I quickly figured out the pros and cons. I nodded yes too.

Su Yirong laughed instead. You don't have to say yes so soon. I'm just making an opinion."

"You're mostly right. I'm going to think about it. And it seems to be implemented every time. It's all good for me. I'm going to take it seriously." Leng Yanxi shook his head. Said with a chuckle.

Listen to him. Su Yirong nodded and didn't say anything.

But at this time. The funeral over there has been carried out to the end. Everyone fell silent. Su Yirong also looked at them. I saw that the only three bodies found were pushed into the sea one by one.

Su Yirong was a little emotional. It doesn't matter if it's a previous life or this dynasty. Everyone has the idea of going to the ground. But there was a real accident at sea, but there was no such opportunity.

It is impossible to transport the body back. That's all it can be. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh again.

"Rong'er. Don't be sad. Let's go back." Leng Yanxi looked at her like this. I didn't let her stay here anymore. Pull her up and walk back.

Su Yirong also nodded. Turn around and leave.

The storm destroyed a lot of their stuff. But none of them are as important as fresh water. Everyone packed up for the day. And it returned to normal.

But it doesn't matter if it's a crew or a guard. We all know that there is a lot less water. I can't get interested at all. After all, no one knows how long they will have to walk before they run into other ships. If you haven't touched it. And they did not die in the storm; Instead, he died of lack of water.

So there is no need for the Thirteen Princes and Leng Yanxi to order. Everyone automatically reduced the amount of water they used. This will allow you to hold on for a few more days.

But like Su Yirong, he can stay in the cabin every day. People who don't have to go out. Using less water doesn't make much of a difference. But the crew had to work in the sun. Drinking less water can have an effect. Not to mention that it is less than half.

Less than two days. Some people just can't hold on. The phenomenon of heat stroke appeared.

Look at the chapped lips of the crew. And the body is getting weaker and weaker. Leng Yanxi is in a hurry, and there is no way." Thirteenth brother. It's not an option to go on like this. It's only been two days. And so on. Even if the water lasts until we get back to land. Their bodies can't hold on."

"I understand that, too. But what can I do? Now it's if you use more water. I couldn't hold on for two more days. And if they don't work, they can't drive the boat. We're all going to die here." The Thirteenth Prince shook his head contradictoryly.

Leng Yanxi also understands this. After thinking about it, he asked. There are no islands or anything like that. Let's replenish some water."

"Nope. We've sailed in these waters. Except for an island covered in stones. No more. And there was not even a grass on that island except for stones. Not to mention the water." The Thirteenth Prince shook his head.

Listen to him. Leng Yanxi didn't have any idea anymore. The two princes, who usually seem to be omnipotent, were stumped by the water.

Su Yirong looked at the embarrassed appearance of the two and did not interject. To not that she doesn't care about these. There's just really nothing you can do. Otherwise where will it be hidden.

"Lord, lord. Someone fainted again." Just when they were silent. Suddenly, another crew member came to report.

The three of them were shocked. But they all immediately stood up and walked out. before leaving the cabin. I saw a few people surrounding a crew member who had fainted.

"Don't carry him back to the cabin yet." The Thirteen Princes stepped forward. Then he opened his mouth and commanded.

That's when everyone reacted. Immediately someone lifted him up. Walk towards the cabin.

Not basking in the sun. Gave me some more water. The man finally woke up. Looking at the symptoms it is clear that another heat stroke is blowing.

Su Yirong sighed. He was out in the sun for too long. It's too tired, that's why it's like this."

Leng Yanxi doesn't understand anything. sighed. Look at the crew." You should get some rest."

"Thank you. But the little ones still have to work. Now the crew is already short of people. Less small. There will be a shortage of manpower. The boat slowed down a bit. We're going to have to go back a few days later." The crew listened to him. Busy grateful answer. But I can't rest.

Thinking of those crew members who died before. Leng Yanxi sighed. And understand what he said. After thinking for a moment, he looked at the Thirteen Princes. Thirteenth brother. Let the guards do the same with the crew. They probably won't be able to operate the boat. But you can do some hard work.

At least let everyone take turns to rest in the shade. And that will be less."

"That's all it can be." The Thirteenth Prince nodded. Look at the crew again." You should have a good rest. I'll do it tomorrow."

I used the method of cold and hot tide. The crew has a helper. There are finally enough manpower. You can even take turns taking breaks. The speed of the boat does not need to slow down. The previous thing has really decreased a lot.

But this is just a stopgap measure. Can't solve the fundamentals. Seeing the reduction of fresh water day by day. And the land is still far away. They can only reduce the amount of water they use little by little.

Looking at the current one-fifth of the previous dosage per person. Su Yirong couldn't help but sigh. Put the water in your hand down again. I'm already thirsty. But it didn't get to the point of intolerability.

Watch her moves. Dongling sighed. Miss. Drink some. You're too weak to stand such a toss."

Su Yirong shook his head. I'm fine. I'm not thirsty for you two to drink."

Although the lips have long been chapped. But where will the two of them drink. They all shook their heads and fell silent.

"Hey. It's not the same thing to go on like this. Even if we save again. But there are still so many days. You can't just go on like this." Su Yirong looked at their appearance. I couldn't help but sigh.

"But what can I do? That's all there is to the water on board. There is no other way. I can only save it." Qimei is still respectful and good to talk to her now. But it's also a lot more casual.

Dong Ling nodded when he heard this. Oh, yes. This storm is truly abominable. How did you destroy the water? Isn't that sincere to embarrass us?"

"It would be nice if the sea water could be drunk. There is so much water in the sea. But it's salty." Qimei had a look of pity on her face.

But her words seemed to make Su Yirong think of something. I can't help but grab Qimei." What did you just say. Say it again."

Qimei was taken aback by her appearance. But I repeated. But I saw Su Yirong suddenly laughing. I can't help but ask." Miss. What's wrong with you. Did you think of something?"

Su Yirong pulled her and smiled more and more happily. Qimei. You're so smart. Thanks to your reminder. Otherwise I'd have forgotten about it."

"Miss means drinking seawater." Qimei looked at her in surprise. But I asked the crew. They say you can't drink seawater. You're laughing at me."

Su Yirong couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her. You can rest assured. No one will laugh at you again this time. Walk. You two come with me."

The two didn't ask her where she was going. got up and followed her out. saw Su Yirong walking directly in the direction of the kitchen.

to the kitchen. It's not time to eat yet. Naturally, there are no people here. But it didn't affect Su Yirong to check things. Walked straight in. Seeing that the cauldron here is really not small. And there is more than one. Immediately laughed." Looks like we can solve the problem of drinking water this time."

"Really. Miss, you can get water." Dong Ling couldn't help but say in surprise when he heard this. No wonder she was surprised. These days, whether it's cold or hot. Those crew members too. I don't want to find a way to get water. But none of them succeeded. Now Su Yirong said that it could be done. Where will not be surprised.

Su Yirong looked at their disbelieving looks. But it's not lifeless. Instead, I laughed even more." I have my own way. Wait and drink your water."

The first reaction of the two was not to be happy. And swallowed saliva.
