Chapter 140, Millennial Ginseng Fruit
After Jiao Ba finished speaking, Mai Lao said calmly, "It's not impossible, this desert island should not be far from where we went to sea, but the weather was relatively bad at that time, and because of the storm, we couldn't see this island, but I don't know if this is the next stop." ”
Jenny denied, "How can this be the next stop, it's just a desert island, I still don't believe it, I think it's better for us to find a way to get out of here." ”
Jiao Ba nodded and smiled and said, "I'm just guessing, what about Li Xin?" What do you think? ”
Li Xin said with a cold face, "I don't know, I haven't thought about this problem." ”
Chang Shan suddenly interjected at this time, "I think what Jiao Ba said is a bit reasonable, after experiencing so many strange things, we can't infer according to common sense, if we analyze it according to common sense, after we are involved in the hole, we all have to die inside, and there is no possibility of living at all, but now?" ”
"Yes, almost all of us have come back to life, and what I always say is right, we can't analyze it according to the normal situation." The big man pouted and nodded, in fact, he was the least good thinker in our group, and he almost didn't think about anything.
"I don't think there's anything to think about, so it's better to leave quickly." The steamed bun poured cold water again, and he is now extremely emotionally unstable.
Mai Lao motioned for everyone to calm down, "Even if we want to leave now, it's not so easy, without a boat, we can't leave this desert island at all." ”
"We can build our own boats." I looked at Mai Lao and said.
"Shipbuilding? How to build? Jenny's eyes lit up, as if she had found hope again.
I ignored her words, but looked at everyone and said, "Now let's make a decision, whether to leave or stay, people have the final say." "Since some of them want to leave, and some want to stay, then they can only do this, ** a little, the minority obeys the majority.
"Get out of here." Jenny was the first to speak.
"I'm on Jenny's side." Mai Lao would say the same thing, which made me a little surprised.
In the end, the big guys all expressed their opinions, a total of eleven people, Jenny, Mai Lao, Mantou, plus Lao Wang and maintenance worker Xiaohuzi, and the five of them agreed to leave here.
And Jiao Ba, Shunzi and other five people agreed to stay, which was also the decision I made after I secretly exchanged ideas with Jiao Ba, because Jiao Ba seemed to have discovered something.
But now there is one person missing, that is Li Xin, she never spoke, and she didn't know what she was thinking, "Li Xin, it's up to you, now that you are alone, you can decide whether we go or stay." I looked her in the eye and said, we're even, just one vote away from her.
"Li Xin, let's go." Jenny said pleadingly.
Li Xin took a deep breath, as if she was making a difficult decision, the big guys were waiting for her, and after a minute or so, she suddenly said, "Go." ”
"Great, thank you Li Xin." Jenny happily hugged Li Xin.
Jiao Ba and I glanced at each other, I felt a little helpless, but Jiao Ba secretly whispered in my ear, "It's not so easy to leave here." ”
I 'chuckled' in my heart, I didn't understand what he meant by this, could something bad happen? Jiao Ba didn't look at me either, as if nothing had happened.
Mai Lao opened his mouth and said, "Since you have decided to leave, you have to find a way to leave, Zhongyi, you just said that you can build a ship, is it true?" ”
I looked at my surroundings and said, "Well, I should be able to build a bigger raft of my own, there are more trees here, and we can take advantage of that." ”
"Huh? Is it a raft? Will that work? Lao Wang actually opened his mouth, and he didn't see him say anything along the way.
"There is no other way, only to build a raft to rush out, as for whether we can be rescued, it depends on our luck, encounter a boat halfway, or drift to land, then we will get out of danger, if you can't meet a boat, it is very likely to drift in the sea for a period of time, or it is possible to encounter the wind again, when the time comes, life or death, then it depends on everyone's creation, big guy thinks." I have shown all the disadvantages that the raft is in the sea, and it is very likely that it will be washed away by the sea, and it can only be left to luck.
When the big guy heard this, he began to make a little commotion again, after all, this was also a blockage, "Are you sure you can build a raft?" Jenny asked, looking at me.
I pondered and said, "Probably about the same." ”
"Well, as long as there is a little hope, we have to try, we can't live the rest of our lives on this desert island." Jenny was still so determined.
"I also insist that Jenny has to get out of this ** place." Mantou cursed again, it seems that he is very depressed in his heart.
"Okay, then it's decided, early tomorrow morning, I'll make arrangements, and we'll start work."
When the matter is settled, it is time for the big guy to get ready to rest, and his clothes are also roasted, and after changing his clothes, the big guy lies down around the fire, and the firewood is sufficient, enough to burn until tomorrow morning.
Mai Lao suggested that several of us men take turns to stand guard, after all, this is a desert island, and there is no one in the primeval jungle who can threaten our lives, so someone must guard it.
Not counting Jenny and Li Xin, there are nine of us, divided into four groups, one of which is three people, the big man takes Lao Wang and Xiaohuzi to stand guard, and the rest of the others are in groups of two.
On average, one and a half hours are rotated to work, which can not only ensure everyone's safety, but also fill the fire with firewood anytime and anywhere, and keep the fire continuous.
This first shift is in charge of Jiao Ba and me, and I also have a purpose, while I am standing guard, I can ask him about the previous things.
Everyone else leaned together and slept around the fire, while Jiao Ba and I walked back and forth near them, since we were standing guard, we had to be responsible, which was related to the life and death safety of our eleven people.
For about half an hour, the others were almost asleep, and some slight snoring could be faintly heard, I quietly gestured to Jiao Ba, signaling him to come with me, and the two of us walked to the side, which was more than ten meters away from the fire, and they should not be able to hear it.
After glancing at the sleeping others, I asked Jiao Ba in a low voice, "Old Ba, do you have something to say?" Also, what did you mean by that just now? It's not that easy to leave. ”
Jiao Ba said with a heavy face, "Brother Yi, I feel that things are really not that simple, the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes, it shouldn't be a coincidence that we can land on this island." ”
I glanced at him and said, "You and I want to go together, how can there be so many coincidences in the world, tell me what you think." ”
Jiao Ba looked around and said, "Do you know what that thing we ate just now?" ”
"Damn, how do I know, I won't ask you before I know, what? Do you know? "I feel like Jiao Ba knows something inside.
Jiao Ba's face was very grim and said, "I don't know if it's not, because after all, this is just a legend, no one has seen it with their own eyes, the legend has a fruit that can make people immortal, called Millennium Ginseng, its appearance is shaped very much like a person, the size of a palm, after peeling off its skin, there is a red fruit inside, like a blood clot." ”
"It is said that people who eat this thousand-year-old ginseng can not only live forever, but also increase their strength greatly, and have more abilities than ordinary people can imagine, but... Once this kind of thing is eaten, it will change with people's hearts, and good people will become more and more kind, and evil people will become more and more evil. ”
Jiao Ba once again makes me unacceptable? Still immortal? It's a bit ridiculous, "Old eight, I can accept the things you said before, but this immortal... Isn't it a little too unreliable, you can't be tricky, right? ”
Jiao Ba said with a serious face, "I'm not joking with you, what I said is true, Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu back then, led a large number of people and horses, and drifted across the ocean to find the elixir, but unfortunately Xu Fu went and never came back, whether he was dead or alive, and whether the elixir was found, no one knows?" To this day, this remains a mystery. ”
I said disdainfully, "Damn, it's just a rumor, how can this person live forever, if it is a human being, he will have to be born, old, sick and die, besides, the fruit we eat is liquid in it, and it is not a blood clot." ”
Jiao Ba flashed a hint of coldness and said, "I suspect that this is a thousand-year-old ginseng that has not grown. ”
I patted him on the arm and said, "Old eight, you think about it too much, you also said it just now, this is just a legend, it's not credible, let's not scare ourselves, in this world, how can there be any elixir for immortality, if there is, those emperors haven't gone crazy to find it, these are all fooling people, not to mention that they can live forever, how many people can live a hundred years?" ”
Jiao Ba's face was calm and said, "I hope I'm worried, I still have something to tell you, that is, the submarine cave before, I feel that Chang Shan is right, this is probably a link channel, we were thrown out by the hole on the other side, and this passage is the one leading to the next station, but the navigation chart is incomplete, we can't see it." ”
What Chang Shan said is very important, recently this person can always say some amazing words, and hit the nail on the head, Jiao Ba can agree with him, it is not unreasonable.
In fact, I have thought about it before, but whether it is or not, no one can say, maybe only those two men in black can know the truth here, but judging from the current situation, I can't see who the man in black is, so I can only take one step at a time.
