Chapter Twenty-Five: Lonely Sea

This is just a few fledgling boys, saying that they have seen the world is false, even if they are older, who is not afraid to see such a dead corpse in such an environment at night? People have a natural fear of death, and that fear is especially frightening on such a foggy night sea, and Lao Pi looked at Wang Ling's frozen face, and the latter was also at a loss.

Lao Pi swallowed a mouthful of saliva into his stomach, and dared to poke lightly with a bamboo pole, and the corpse began to slowly turn like foam in the water. Wang Ling's hands were trembling at this time, his heavy breathing and the strong stimulation of his throat made him unable to concentrate, could it be that person?

When the front of the face turned around, both of them let out terrifying screams one after another, and they began to understand why Li Xin was scared like that.

The poet heard the screams and walked out of the wheelhouse, only to see the two of them lying on the side of the boat at this time and vomiting, the bamboo pole had already been thrown aside, the poet was already timid and didn't know what was going on, but he was also curious in his heart. As the saying goes, this curiosity kills the cat, and just as the poet was about to take that stupid step, Wang Ling turned around in time and looked at him and said, "Don't look. Seeing that Wang Ling's face was pale at this time, and there was a long string of sticky liquid hanging on his lips, he patted Lao Pi's shoulder vigorously, and said: "Go pour some water, we have to get out of here quickly......"

Is it Hu Quan? I don't know! Because when the corpse turned, half of his face was gone! The torn muscles and hollow holes formed the most exciting picture, the remaining muscles and skin at the fractured wound were still shaking slightly under the immersion of the seawater, as if a lump of pork had been cut with a knife and put it in the basin, what frightened them especially was the expression of the corpse, most of the remaining mouth opened into a "0" shape, and the remaining eyeballs burst out and stared at them......

Wang Ling had forgotten how he had gotten into the wheelhouse, his legs were as if they had been filled with lead, his stomach was churning, and his hands holding the rudder were constantly swinging. No one wants to speak, and the atmosphere here is as oppressive as the sea outside.

"Fourth brother," half-paid, Lao Pi finally spoke slowly, not at all like his previous fearlessness, "We, are you still going?" That person may or may not be Hu Quan, do you think it is or not? ”

"I'm afraid something is going to happen," Wang Ling said: "It's all already out, hiding is not always a way, we can't carry an inexplicable black pot to live in exile for the rest of our lives, and we have caught Jingjing, at least she is innocent." ”

Lao Pi didn't say anything more, the fishing boat began to sail according to the established trajectory, and the wreckage around it has become less and less, according to the changes in the ocean currents this season, Lao Pi deduced that the fishing boat accident will not take more than half a day, and it is very likely to be near Xuanwu Island.

At night, there were no lights on the island, there was no electricity here, and they had already reached the familiar sea, and the sound of the motor would wake up the sleeping people on the island, so Lao Pi decided to make a long detour.

Xuanwu Island is not the only island in this area, there are two other islands in its vicinity, one of which is Qinglong Island and the other is Suzaku Island. It is said that there is this Xuanwu, and then according to this traditional Chinese culture in the name of the other two islands, Qinglong Island is a long strip, north-south direction, the part that does not rise to the surface of the water is only four or five meters, the widest point is only two or three meters, this is a small island and reef. However, the ledge of Qinglong Island is extremely deep and flat, and it slowly extends into the surrounding sea, so there are actually reefs under the seemingly calm water, and there are usually no boats in that place.

Suzaku Island is located in the north of Qinglong Island, it is also an island reef, smaller than it, the exposed place is only the size of a basketball court, the distance between the two islands is about 30 meters, and the distance is only 20 meters at high tide, in fact, it is part of the derivation of Qinglong Island. The small reef-strewn trench between the two islands is home to a delicious fish: the grouper, a predatory fish that hides in the crevices of the rocks and is very valuable and can only be caught by primitive fishing methods, but the big boats are not able to enter, and occasionally experienced islanders come in on a small raft to fish.

It is said that it was in the early 60s, when Da Zhuang was still a big child, and two people on the island went in on a raft and caught a huge grouper. Directly dragged the boat and people into the sea and never got up again, because there was such a thing in that place, so the big guy tried to hide as much as possible, and after a long time, no one came.

The narrow trench between the two small islands and reefs, Qinglong and Suzaku, can completely bypass the view of the islanders, but this line has never been crossed. The most terrible thing about the sea is its "change", which seems to be calm but is actually full of killing machines, and it is often too late to react, even if even the experienced old fishermen are not afraid to wade in this line, not to mention the novice of the old skin with half a bucket of water.

Things didn't go as they had imagined, and when there was a muffled "bang" from the bottom of the ship, the hull shook violently, and the rudder held by the old leather trembled. He looked at Wang Ling with some calm and said, "I've hit the rocks, let's go over in a small boat." ”

Behind this sentence is that they are about to lose the means of escape, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to cross this sea by a sampan. Before entering this trench, the four of them had discussed, since they were coming, they would die to understand, this was a complete wreck, without this boat there was no way back, they unhurriedly began to unload everything that could be used on the sampan, and by the time the four of them got on the sampan, the waterline of the fishing boat was almost level with the side of the boat......

"It won't be a few days before people who go to sea will find it," Wang Ling said with some self-deprecation: "We have caused huge losses to the people, and this disaster is really getting bigger and bigger." ”

His words were by no means alarmist, he destroyed a fishing boat in that era, this responsibility is not to say that they are educated youth, even Lao Xing himself estimated that he had to be stripped of a layer of skin.

The small sampan swayed around on the sea, surrounded by the rushing seawater, swaying and shaking, and the poet sighed and said: "This is the time to ride the wind and waves, and hang straight on the clouds and sails to the sea!" "You can take off your pants and hang them on top of your head," Lao Pi couldn't help but scold: "This guy doesn't forget to pretend at any time!" ”

Xuanwu Island, which was supposed to be their second home in life, is now a place of black humor, just like the black rocks here, which makes people feel cold and dark. Several people were exhausted from rowing, and finally arrived on the other side of the island they had gone to that day, but now it was night, and there was a layer of fog, and where to tell the specific location, it could only be a rough connection. But as soon as they arrived at the reef by the sea, Lao Pi and Wang Ling were napping in their hearts, where can they find a living person falling from this place, this is not land, this is the sea!

"Maybe it's in vain," Wang Ling said with some frustration: "Where can I still find someone here, I don't know where I rushed to early." ”

"Damn the plague god!" The old skin smashed the oar into the sea, and at this moment they have no way to retreat, no way to enter, just like this floating sampan now, I don't know when a big wave came over and turned over on the spot.

"Or simply go to the island and inquire," Lao Pi proposed: "They shouldn't be defenseless at such a late hour, I'll go to Da Zhuang to find out, in case Lao Xing really ......"

Wang Ling raised his hand and said, "Don't, have you thought about it, if Lao Xing's ship really blew up, then who will be to blame for this matter?" ”

"No, there is no grudge between us......"

"It's hard to say," Li Xin also said: "Someone has to carry this black cauldron, a few of us can't be more suitable, it's too risky to go like this, can this small boat support us to return to the original island?" ”

"Yes, it depends on the weather," Lao Pi's words just fell, and suddenly the sky brightened dimly, and then a loud "boom" gradually began to slowly approach here from a distance. "His ancestors won't carry it like this, say Cao Cao Cao will arrive, this Lei Gongdian Mother also has the intention to play with us!"

Seeing that it was going to rain in the blink of an eye, a small sampan was simply killing itself in this weather, so he hurriedly proposed: "I have a place to go, the bat cave we accidentally broke into that day can be avoided temporarily, that place is a forbidden area, they will never guess that we will go there for a while, and when the weather improves, we will find another opportunity to sneak out, and if it is really not good, we will drift along the ocean current to Southeast Asia and smuggle it." ”

"Yes, yes," the poet raised his hand, "I have seen the map of the world, and our place is the South Seas, and in the early years, the Chinese fled there, and we should be able to find a place to stay." ”

The sea has begun to get excited, and the water near the reef has already turned back, wave after wave, and the bow and stern of the ship are like seesaws. In such a situation, it is a little difficult to support the body, not to mention the use of a carpenter to control the direction and speed. After a few rounds, the old skin sitting in the bow of the boat was soaked, and every time he finally opened his eyes, he was hit by the oncoming waves, and he didn't know that after drinking a few mouthfuls of the bitter seawater, the old skin shouted with difficulty: "No, this is really unrushable!" ”

"If you can't rush over, you have to rush!" Wang Ling was not much better than him, and shouted with his mouth as wide as possible: "Look at the top of your head! ”

"What! I can't hear you! "Hey!" Wang Ling took out a hand and pointed to the flickering sky above his head, just now, this piece of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky and faintly began to gather, according to the similar situation they had seen on Xuanwu Island before, he guessed that there was going to be a storm today!
