Chapter 313: Cultivating Immortals. Desperate autumn farewell
The sea is sparkling, and when the sun shines on the sea, it seems to have sprinkled a large piece of broken gold, which is incomparably beautiful.
During the day, no sea beasts came out to emerge, on the sea not far from Xiyang Kingdom, a huge wooden ship slowly sailed in the direction of the Huanyu Continent, and various breaches on the side of the ship were enough to prove what kind of attack the ship had suffered, and the mast had already fallen, and the whole ship had no power, only relying on some guards to control the oars to control the direction, so as not to let it drift too far.
This is the ship of Li Mingyuan, the emperor of Xiyang, who went to sea to find immortals, and Li Mingyuan, who was already eighty years old, was instructed by the national teacher to go to the legendary continent on his deathbed to find the elixir of immortality.
However, they underestimated the danger of the sea, and after only a month of leaving Xiyang Kingdom, the hull of the ship was already dilapidated, and even the storehouse used for food was soaked in seawater, and there was very little to eat, and it could only last a few days.
Food was extremely scarce, and even the Emperor himself, who had always been extravagant and extravagant, forced himself to change his original habits, eating the only remaining food in extreme poverty, hoping to survive before reaching the Cosmos Continent.
At this time, next to the box where the food was stored in the galley compartment of the big ship, the extremely thin Qiu Ci was secretly holding a baked cake, his desperate eyes and flaky lips proved that he was extremely hungry, wearing a modified pair of pants and clothes, tattered and completely unable to cover his shoulders, and the exposed arms and legs seemed to be only skin and bones, and there were various wounds on them, which was extremely pitiful.
The first time I got the cake, I gulped down my stomach, and the only abrupt big eyes were extremely vigilant to pay attention to the surroundings, worried that I would be discovered, and my eyes were extraordinarily fierce, like an unruly lion cub.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps outside the door came, Qiu Ci was terrified to the extreme, and panicked into the pile of debris next to him, covering his small body with his already stinking and sour clothes.
An extremely rough voice came, "Strange, did you hear anything just now?" ”
"Didn't you hear? What's wrong? ”
The storage room is not big, you can see it at a glance, the chef at the head opened the box where the flatbread was placed, and saw that one was missing at a glance, and he was very angry in his heart, took the oil lamp and looked carefully at the cake crumbs on the ground, and shouted loudly:
"That bastard stole our bread!!"
At such a critical time, he knew best how many cakes there were on the ship, and he had to count them every day, for fear that if one was missing, someone would steal it!
The others were amazed, and they searched everywhere for the thief who stole the food, and their hearts were even more angry, and they were eager to dismantle the thief.
"Stealing food at this time is going to lose your head!
Fortunately, if I don't reach my destination in another month, and the food is extremely scarce, I'm afraid that a scene of cannibalism will be staged.
Qiu Ci, who was hiding in the pile of clothes, was terrified, his palms were already tense and sweaty, his whole body was trembling, but his eyes were extremely fierce, he took out the only fire fold in his arms, and when the footsteps were about to reach him, a fire ignited the pile of clothes and threw it to the innermost.
Several people who were still looking for the thief smelled the smoke and panicked instantly, and they didn't care about catching the thief and extinguishing the fire as soon as possible.
"Hurry, hurry!! Bring the water!! ”
These are life-saving foods!!
Luckily, the pile of clothes was extremely damp and people reacted quickly, so it didn't catch fire.
Qiu Ci, who took the opportunity to run out, was still caught by the guards on the side of the ship, and the people on the ship were either rich or noble, or the guards and the cooks on the ship, and it was extremely shocking that a little kid like Qiu Ci who picked up rags appeared on the boat.
Liu Weiwei picked up Qiu Ci and threw it to the stern of the boat, worried that the emperor would see and punish him, looked at the child who was trying to get up and wanted to run, and asked sharply:
"How did you get on board?"
It was impossible to let a little child get on the boat, Liu Huwei was really a little curious about how this child got up, and he insisted on it for a month, from beginning to end, and he didn't see him until now.
Under the signal of Captain Liu's eyes, several guards tied him up with ropes to prevent him from escaping, and he was originally a small person, but he was tied up like a three-year-old child.
Qiu Ci tried his best to control his fear, glaring angrily at the guards who had tied him up, refusing to tell the truth.
In fact, he was arranged by a kind wooden boat repairman to be brought up in a small compartment, because he had no father and no mother, and those who were close to him were particularly unlucky, so he was bullied on weekdays, starved of food, poorly clothed, and almost kicked to death.
The maintenance worker couldn't stand it, so he rescued him and took him to the big ship, keeping him away from a country that couldn't accommodate even a five-year-old child.
Qiu Ci knew that he couldn't say it, and the kind Samaritan who said it would be implicated, although he hadn't seen the maintenance worker for more than a week, but he was grateful for taking care of him for more than half a month.
When Liu Huwei was having a headache, the cook in the kitchen rushed out, his gray face was very funny, and he scolded and pointed to the tied Qiu Ci:
"How dare this bastard eat it!! I'm also going to set fire to the storeroom! Lord Liu, just throw him down to feed the fish! ”
During this period, everyone regarded food as life, and whoever dared to do anything to food must be sentenced to death!
Liu Weiwei didn't expect the first brother and the child to be so bold, and glanced at the child on the ground who wanted to break free from the rope, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he must not let the people above know that the first brother and child have been hiding on the boat for a whole month!
"That's it, Wansan, you do it, don't alarm the others."
Wan San knew what Liu Huwei was worried about, and hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, my lord, let's put him in a box and throw him into the sea, no one will find out!"
"Hmm." Escort Liu replied succinctly, turned around and left the stern, after all, he was still in charge of other places.
Qiu Ci's eyes were full of hatred, but unfortunately he couldn't break free from the rope no matter what, he really didn't have any strength to eat at all, and watched the fat chef come with a wooden frame.
Wan San couldn't get used to the hatred in Qiu Ci's eyes, so he kicked him violently, "Hehe, what are you staring at when you are dying?" I'll let you feed the fish right away! “
After speaking, without giving Qiu Ci a chance to react, he directly picked him up and put it in a wooden frame, worried about floating, and deliberately found a non-used knife board to tie it up, and then threw the extremely desperate Qiu Ci into the sea, splashed a little water and sank to the bottom of the sea.
The icy sea water poured into the nose and ears, and when I breathed, it was a big mouthful of salty seawater, and I really didn't understand the autumn words that were tied up and put into a wooden frame and couldn't move.
Why did he have to endure all kinds of bullying all his life?
I don't know what God is going to do when he wants to come to this world......
His name was given by his father, and when his mother gave birth to him, he had a difficult birth, and it was in the autumn that he took such a name.
His father also died when he was three years old, and the rest of his relatives all disliked him, and since he was sensible, he had not eaten a full meal, perhaps......
Death is liberation!
