Chapter 580: Drifting
Since Buck was reasonable, Ye Mingjing took the lead in relaxing the harassment, which allowed Buck to finally concentrate on making a sailboat.
Drifting on the sea, the most reliable thruster is the sail, rowing is absolutely unrealistic, but originally Buck planned to make a sailing raft, but later found that the trees on this island are indeed not suitable, the plantain tree and the like need too many trees to build, and he has no tools in his hand, for a mercenary born and killed in Eastern Europe, the adjacent Black Sea is also the size of a palm, and there is very little experience in shipbuilding in the tropical sea.
Now I only need to find a way to set up a sailboat mast on the life raft, and finally use a long thin trunk to tie the center of the raft, fix it with rattan with the long branches at the bottom of the raft, and finally set up a mast made of tarpaulin for sails.
But he didn't rush to leave, the source of food and water was almost endless, but he needed to stock up, especially when Buck figured out how to tie the sharp beak into a spear, and the reef water where he had been fishing for a long time because he lost too many bait such as fish viscera, and even pierced a few large fish that were more carnivorous!
Fang Lingying and Ye Mingjing were busy drying and making dried fish, filling the drink bottles they picked up with water, and they had to prepare the wild vegetable and grass juice drinks they had to eat every day, otherwise scurvy would be easy to get on, and this time they had to be fully prepared before they dared to go on the road.
After recuperating for a few days, Ye Mingjing, who was not hungry at all, just didn't have a chance to take a good bath, and muttered and sat by the fire to check his dinner: "If I find another uninhabited desert island with lakes and freshwater waterfalls, I will definitely do him, or I will never leave again, live this kind of happy seclusion like heaven, or go back with him to see the eldest woman with a big belly!"
Fang Lingying smiled indifferently, maybe she really made up her mind: "What's the hurry, didn't you persuade me to go and see, he actually likes this kind of tone quite a bit, but he can't get that hurdle in his heart, I see that the death of his ex-wife and child is still a little shadowy, maybe when Xiang Wan gives birth to a child, maybe he will let go." ”
Ye Mingjing complained: "After tasting some meat, don't you want to eat meat more?"
Fang Lingying laughed: "He is like Tang Seng meat." ”
Ye Mingjing is not ashamed: "The old lady is a spider spirit!"
Buck came back with a simple wind vane: "When did you evolve into a spider spirit?" These days he has been taking notes, calculating the monsoon patterns in this area, looking for the direction of the strongest wind and his needs, and coming over to look over the fish: "It's really a little greasy to eat this, right?"
Ye Mingjing hugged Fang Lingying: "The two flower-like girls have a taste, you still don't eat it!"
Fang Lingying suddenly felt disgusted: "Phew!"
Buck: "In the olfactory system of the opposite sex, body odor will be more and more attractive, which is a biologically important courtship signal. ”
was so angry that Ye Mingjing immediately looked for a coconut shell to smash him: "Look! He's like this, and he's going to tease me again, but he won't do it!"
Fang Lingying didn't help Buck: "Well, I'm also deeply affected by it, decide when to leave?"
Buck pulled out the waterproof bag encased map and pointed in the direction: "Take a gamble, after all, the distance between the islands here is not too large, I have seen ships pass by a few times, I estimate that the northwest direction is the safest, and it is most likely to encounter larger islands, and the most unfortunate is stronger than this palm-sized area, at least it can kill some wild beasts to eat! The most important thing is to avoid the rebellion in the south." I can only go in this direction according to the probability, mainly because I don't know where I came that night, and in terms of the direction of the wind, we should set off at dawn tomorrow morning, maybe it will be the night when we pass by our target island. He was so tired that night that he could only paddle mechanically, and he didn't even look out.
So Ye Mingjing decided to pray before going to bed, and blessed that she could find an island with rich products and beautiful scenery this time, and she could enjoy her old age in peace.
At dawn, the three people who hugged each other woke up, and the two girls reluctantly said goodbye to this unknown island before being pushed by Buck on a life raft and set sail.
Because the awning cover has become a sail, the life raft can only use banana leaves as a sunshade, and the bottom of the raft also accumulates too much sea salt because it acts as a still, and also spreads a lot of banana leaves, which makes Fang Lingying, who was lying on it, ask Ye Mingjing on a whim: "Do you think we don't look like sashimi dishes smeared with salt and put on green bamboo leaves, just waiting for sharks and whales to swallow it as a delicacy!"
Ye Mingjing was not angry: "This kind of cranky thinking is my main business, have you started to hallucinate?"
Buck stood and adjusted the sails: "This orange-red life raft will not arouse the interest of sharks, and whales basically do not eat people." ”
Fang Lingying laughed at him for being uninteresting, hugged Ye Mingjing and hid in the shade under the leaves, and exchanged drinks, and then reminded each other: "Drink less, there is no bathroom on this raft!"
Buck had already prepared to pull over a shelf tied to a tree branch and hang it on the side wall: "It's convenient to climb outside, it's convenient to ......"
Both girls feel that in such a situation, there is really no estrangement and privacy between them and this man, and it is difficult not to be husband and wife.
The sails are very powerful, and the nylon cloth is also very tough, but it is somewhat unexpected, Buck uses the relationship between the North Star at night and the daytime sun and the dial to confirm that in the northwest direction, theoretically there will be other islands within 50 kilometers, and if you are lucky, you can have other coastlines 20 or 30 kilometers away, so that the naked eye can see the faint coastline within 20 kilometers under the sunny weather conditions in the tropics, right?
The key is not to know where you started.
This made Buck's voyage last until the afternoon, and the two girls seemed to have handed over their fate to him, happily hiding in the shade to discuss that if they brought a deck of poker, it was estimated that the three of them would have a lot more fun in life.
Buck, who had always pretended to be calm, still knew that the temporary adjustment of direction would be more chaotic, so he had to move on...... It wasn't until just after three o'clock in the afternoon that suddenly a large stretch of coastline appeared in front of the port side!
In ecstasy, he hurriedly informed the two girls, who knew that the girl thought that the sun was big outside, he just watched it, and they waited for the sun to set!
Anyway, Buck prepared enough water and food on the life raft for several days, so he didn't have to worry, Fang Lingying also carefully told Buck: "Don't be too big an island, if you meet a main island like Luzon and are caught by the border police, you can only be sent back to China, it will be too embarrassing!"
Ye Mingjing also laughed: "Then you will definitely be expelled from public office, and then come back to live with me in a two-person world!"
Buckdor's hard-working man began to guide the sails in the hot sun, and he was not very familiar with the operation of the sails, and finally hurriedly returned the sails, changed the oars and headed towards the shore, still sure in his heart: "It shouldn't be Luzon, I haven't seen any boats......"
But there are roads!
