Chapter 284: Sweet
The old man saw my strange appearance, and he hurriedly said: "I went to sea early in the morning, who knew that I encountered the wind and waves, and I wanted to come back quickly, but who knew that my boat was too small to withstand the wind and waves, and was blown near this big ear reef, and I knew that I was almost dead when I got here, and I couldn't hold it anymore, but when I met you, God didn't let me die!" β
He shook his head helplessly, "I'm alive, but your friendsβ" he said and looked at me, and didn't continue.
"They'll be fine." I stood up slowly, my shoulders and waist hurt very much, it seemed that I had been hit lightly, but fortunately, the backpack on my body was still there, "I'm going to look for them, they should be around here." β
The old man quickly helped me, and he said to come with me to find Shanzi and them.
"My surname is Gong, what do you call it?" The old man seems to be a self-cooked.
"My name is Ding Jia." I turned my head to look at him, "Gong Lao's health is very good, and he is old this year?" β
"Oh, I'm in my seventies, and I'm okay. The people who live by the sea are no better than you, we have to go to the sea every day, and when we are exposed to the wind and sun, it is considered exercise. He said.
"You don't look like you're in your seventies." As I spoke, I walked forward, and the old man followed closely behind me.
"You're also out fishing?" He asked.
How can I answer this, I can't go to sea to fish, but it is impossible to say that it was blown by the wind and waves, our boat is so big, it must have turned around or changed its route in the event of wind and waves. I ignored him and walked straight ahead.
"You are from other places, our talents here will not take this road, this island is called Ghost Gate Island, basically the official can't go back when he comes here." He continued.
I thought for a moment and said, "It's the first time we've been here, but we happened to take the wrong route, and who knew that it would end up here." β
"Then your ship boss doesn't know this way, how can he take you to such a dangerous place?!" The more the old man said, the more excited he became.
I glanced back at him, and met the eagle-like eyes under his white eyebrows, and my heart trembled: his eyes were terrifying, like they could take the soul of a man!
He immediately turned his eyes to the side, then smiled awkwardly, "Let's hurry up and find your friends, it's okay now, the possibility of finding them is very high." β
The two of us walked forward one after the other, saying that it was facing forward, but in fact, it was purposeless at all, I shouted the names of the three of them loudly as I walked, I really hope to find them quickly, this ghost gate island is definitely not a good place, if you don't get it, there is really no return, as long as there are more people together, there is still the possibility of getting out alive.
Although the island is not large, it is still very difficult for us to walk on our feet, it is a wild place, except for some big trees that cannot be named, and the surrounding sea water beats the stones on the shore, and there is not even a seabird in the sky.
Finally God paid off, and we found the still vague one-eyed dragon in a pile of weeds, lying on the ground with a radio transmitter clutched tightly in his arms.
We quickly pulled him up, leaned him against a rock, took the kettle out of his bag and filled him with two sips of water.
"How's that, wake up, wake up!" I grabbed his head with my hand and shook it vigorously a few times, and the one-eyed dragon slowly opened its eyes.
"... It hurts me..."He closed his eyes in pain and touched his head with his hand, "It's about to break!" β
The one-eyed dragon's other hand did not let go, he opened his eyes again and asked, "Why are there only the two of you, Shanzi and the fifth master?" β
"I haven't found them yet, but you're the one who found them first." I said, "Get up if it's all right, this is not a place to rest, we need to find them quickly." β
The one-eyed dragon stood up with great difficulty, and he looked into the distance, and the ship that had brought us had already capsized, and was far stuck on the reef, and there were several holes in the ship.
"It's over, it's over!" The one-eyed dragon sighed, "There's not even a boat to go back to." β
After saying that, he seemed to remember something, and immediately looked at the old-fashioned radio transmitter in his arms, "Fortunately, there is this, I grabbed it when I was thrown out, and when the time comes, I will try to emit radio waves, and contact my brother to pick us up again." β
As he spoke, he twisted a few buttons on the machine with his hand, and there were immediately a few squeaky and very harsh sounds from inside, "It's okay, it's not broken." He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of us didn't delay any longer, and hurriedly continued to walk to find Shanzi and Qin Wu.
Finding them is not as simple as finding the one-eyed dragon, finding the one-eyed dragon is completely luck, but Shanzi and Qin Wu have not appeared for a long time, and an ominous premonition immediately appeared in my heart: they may really have an accident!
But the one-eyed dragon told me that the direction of the wind and waves was coming towards the side of Guimen Island, and they must have been blown to this place a long time ago, just look for it patiently, and they will be fine.
His words gave me a reassurance, yes, Shanzi has come over several times when he is in danger, and this time it will be fine.
We walked for about two hours, and finally found Shanzi and Qin Wu, the two of them were still wet and resting weakly together.
It turned out that Shanzi and Qin Wu had just met, and they, like us, had been blown to this Ghost Gate Island, and then began to look for others without any purpose.
In any case, we have survived this storm, at least now the people are still there, and we are together again, but what happened next is that we are not affected - we only bring some water, but we have nothing to eat.
There is no food on this desert island, but it won't last long, we are here to find the treasure place, I don't know how long it will take, and the preservation of the body has become the biggest problem we have to face.
Shanzi said we could find something to eat like Robinson Crusoe, but it was just a novel, and we were really stuck here.
The one-eyed dragon said that there were only trees and weeds, not even rats, so there was nothing to eat.
In the end, we decided to see if there was anything like the bark of an elm tree that could be eaten, even if it was just to satisfy hunger!
The old man looked into the distance, there was a tree over there that was quite lush, and the newly grown branches of the tree were very tender, so we went over and tried it first.
Shanzi was bold and not afraid of poison, so he took a bite of a piece of bark with a dagger.
He immediately exclaimed in amazement: "Sweet! β
