Chapter 2: God's Gifts
I hurriedly beckoned to the others, "Old Shui Xiaofeng, hurry up, row forward, if we continue like this, we will be scattered." ”
Lao Shui was still a little reluctant to say, "Oh, Mr. Jin, this is a waste of physical strength when you have to row by hand, is this a waste of physical strength." ”
"If you're talking nonsense, believe it or not, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish?" I was immediately furious, this damn old water, compared to the iron mask, he is too much of a thing.
"I'm just telling you the truth, this ice cube is so big, how long will it take to paddle it by hand." Lao Shui was still a little unconvinced, and his speech was quite horizontal.
"Brother Shui, just listen to Mr. Jin, we can't wait for death like this, come on." In the end, it was under Xiaofeng's persuasion that Lao Shui paddled forward with our hands.
But he was right, it was indeed a chore, we paddled with our hands for a long time, and we didn't see how far we went, Mai Lao and their figures were still in the distance, and we were closer to the big man, but it was really not a way to go on like this, I also felt a headache, the ice was melting, I could feel it, it didn't take half an hour, we had to go into the sea to feed the fish.
We were all exhausted, we didn't have the strength to paddle with our hands, this was not in a pond, this was in the sea, the force of the waves could knock us back to our original shape, and now even I was a little discouraged.
"No, Mr. Jin, I can't row, I really can't row, I'm so tired that my arm is going to break." Lao Shui turned over and lay on the ice, tired and sweating, out of breath.
"I can't do it either, it's too tiring." Xiao Feng couldn't paddle anymore, the physical strength of a few of us was not much, and the rest of this point, in this moment, we will almost be reimbursed.
Mantou shouted on the other side, "Zhongyi, we just met, won't we just die like this?" I want to live a few more days, haha. At this time, he can still laugh, which shows that the steamed buns have also thought about it a lot, and they are not as stubborn as before.
I sat up, waved my hand, and said, "Don't worry, you can meet even if you die, and when the time comes, we will meet in the Hades Palace, and we will get drunk and rest." "I also teased, it's like this anyway, what's there to struggle.
"That's it, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal to die together, and there is a companion below, we can still get together, if the king of Hades is not convinced, I will smash his hall." The big man stood up and shouted by pulling his neck.
I'm still a little excited to see them again, if we hadn't broken the circle, maybe the previous meeting would have been goodbye, and now no matter what, everyone can still see each other, although life and death are uncertain, but at least there is a glimmer of hope.
"Brother Yi... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Junko beckoned to me and shouted, I could hear that he was really guilty, his voice was a little choked, this big boy, finally returned to normal, in fact, as long as he was okay, I would be at ease.
I didn't speak, just waved my hand, indicating that I heard his shout, Mai Lao and they were struggling to row towards us, but no matter how hard they tried, the distance was not to mention closer, it would be nice to be able to keep it the same, the images of several of them were getting blurred and blurred, and when they ran out of energy, the waves would inevitably separate us, and we didn't even have room to struggle.
"Zhongyi, are you afraid?" Li Xin asked in a low voice next to me.
I looked at the dark blue sea in front of me, looked up at the dark sky again, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, what's the use of being afraid?" Life and death are fateful, and no one can change it. ”
"Yes, in this sea, we are just a grain of sand, and we can't set off any strong winds and waves." She turned around and sat back to back with me.
I asked with a sideways face, "Li Xin, if... We're going to survive this time, or rather... What are your plans for this voyage to the end? ”
Li Xin shook his head, "No, I haven't thought about this problem for the time being, this plan hasn't changed quickly, let's take one step at a time, what about you?" What's the plan? ”
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly felt the sun shining, I looked up, the sky turned a little back, it was a little brighter than before, I was shocked, this may be a good thing, soon, the whole sky full of dark clouds, disappeared, the blue sky and white clouds returned again, the sun was above our heads, I don't remember how long I hadn't seen the sun, it was really comfortable, I liked sunny days.
When the warm sun shines on the ocean, the deep blue sea water also becomes blue, the sea breeze blows gently, everything seems to return to normal, the sea at this time, is no longer terrifying, on the contrary, it is beautiful, if there are a few seagulls flying overhead, it will be even more perfect, since I arrived in the ice city, I don't remember how long I haven't seen this kind of scene, blue sky and sea, I really miss it.
"Li Xin, look... The sun is out, the sky is clear, maybe we don't have to die. "I'm a little excited, there's sunshine and hope.
"Haha... The sun is out, the sun is out, we don't have to die, we don't have to die. The big man stood up, arms raised in the air, and roared excitedly.
The sun made our mood change immediately, and I could see the old Mai in the distance, everyone was in high spirits, although we may not be able to be rescued, but the appearance of the sun can bring us hope.
Jiao Ba and Chang Shan kept waving their hands, and Jiao Ba shouted, "Brother Yi, you have ...... Eggs? "Because of the distance, I couldn't hear what he was shouting, I could only hear the word egg, which was vague.
"What egg? Can any of you hear what he is shouting? I turned back to the others and asked.
"He asked you if you had flares." Li Xin looked at me and replied.
I sneered, "I don't have any signal flares, besides, on this sunny day, there are signal flares for nothing, that thing is used for distress at night, do you have any of them?" ”
Li Xin and they all said no, my backpack is still on Mai Lao's side, I know very well what is in there, I hurriedly waved to Jiao Ba, we don't have that thing.
This excitement lasted for a short time, we returned to dead silence, even if there is sunshine, it is in vain, there is no boat, we are still a dead end, the only thing I regret is that before traveling, I should bring a life jacket, at least fall into the sea can deal with it for a while.
"Zhongyi, this big ice cube is about to melt, what should I do?" Li Xin asked in horror.
At this time, I noticed that the ice was already full of seawater, and it seemed that it was melting faster than I expected, so I pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, don't be nervous, even if you go into the sea, it's nothing, as long as we don't disperse, there is hope for survival." ”
"Forget Mr. Jin, you don't have to comfort us, if you really fall into the sea, then you will basically not be far from death." Lao Shui said dejectedly, not even bothering to raise his head.
"Don't worry, Brother Shui, we won't die." Xiao Feng suddenly grabbed Lao Shui's shoulder and said with a serious face.
I also hurriedly comforted him, "Yes, yes, yes, we won't die, there is still hope." ”
At this time, Xiao Feng looked at me and said excitedly, "What I said is true, we really won't die, look over there." He reached out and pointed behind me.
I quickly turned around to look, and then I noticed that a few hundred meters in front of us, there seemed to be a big guy moving towards us, and it looked like a ship.
"That's... What is that thing? I pointed ahead and asked a little stammering, because I was excited, I actually already knew in my heart that this must be a ship.
"It's a ship, loyalty is a ship, we're saved, we're saved." Li Xin suddenly jumped up, and she hugged me.
But it didn't matter if she jumped, her feet slipped and fell directly into the sea, and she even brought me and Lao Shui and them down, and after we surfaced, we heard the big man and a few of them shouting wildly, "There is a boat, there is a boat in front, hey, there are people here, there are people here, help, help." ”
Mai Lao and the others were also shouting, "Hey, hey... Here, here..."
Soon, the image of the ship became clearer and clearer, and the distance was only a few tens of meters away, and then I saw clearly, this was actually Martin's ship, that is, it was our own ship, which was simply too lucky, I thought it was a passing ship, I really didn't expect it to be our own ship, it seems that everything is the reason for the enchantment, the distance between us and the ship should not be far, once the ice city is broken, it will naturally find us.
Li Xin looked at me and said with a smile, "Zhongyi, it's Martin's ship, great, we're finally saved, it's over, it's over." ”
I put my arm around her shoulders in the sea and said, "If you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, but it's not over yet, don't forget, we haven't found the main ship yet, maybe it's just below this sea, that's what we're here for." ”
"You're right, I almost forgot about it, it looks like the danger isn't over yet." Li Xin glanced at me and smiled bitterly.
Martin's big ship was getting closer and closer to us, and at this time I saw that there were several people standing on the bow of the boat, and the person who hit the head was familiar to me, it was Lao Wu, the middle-aged man I had gone to sea to save him.
The big boat stopped at this time, just near Mai Lao and them, and the life-saving ladder was then lowered, and I saw that Mai Lao and they had already begun to get on the boat, and when they got on the boat, the big boat started again and came towards us.
The big man shouted excitedly, "I know that we won't die, haha, loyalty, we have won again." ”
"We survived." The steamed bun also shouted after him, and Junzi and Shaoyu were also excited, being alive was the best gift from God.
