Chapter 27: Stability

Russon's head rested on the reef, his body rising and falling in the waters of the shore. The thin clothes barely covered the body, and the bare skin was exposed, and the fine scratches and wounds oozed blood. Many fish devoured the blood scattered in the water, and their heads kept hitting Ruson's body.

"Woo~poof~coughcoughcough!"

"Hiss~"

His body was swollen with seawater, and his wounds were soaked with seawater, and the pain was scorching. Lu Xun struggled to get up, glanced at Zhou with an anxious face, and kept shouting: "Is there anyone?" Is anyone still alive? ”

Rousson staggered, flipping through the swollen corpses that could be found everywhere, trying to find the other survivors. Some of the corpses were scratched by the reef, some were pierced by wood, and some were even half cut off.

His expression gradually became numb, and he dragged the corpse to the shore like a walking corpse, and spent several days digging the earth with wooden planks, burying all the bodies of the dead sailors.

Eating the coconut and unknown wild fruit found on the island, Ruson remembered the promise he made with his childhood sweetheart, no matter what, he must live and return to his hometown to marry his lover Mary. Devouring his food, he decides to search the coast for possible survivors and items that float up to the island with the waves.

The harvest was small but useful, a rusty axe pinned to his waist for self-defense, and he was even more pleased to have picked up a dozen grains of wheat that had been washed ashore by the waves. The scattered bodies found were so decomposed by seawater bubbles that they could not be buried.

After two or three days, there was a sailboat stuck in the reef in the sea in front of him, which he guessed was the one he was on, and put down his axe and prepared to swim over to have a look.

Ye Guangji saw a figure swimming towards this side on the plywood, constantly waving his clothes and shouting loudly, and after seeing the other party obviously speeding up, he threw down the rope ladder that had already been prepared.

"Oh! Thank God, I didn't expect there to be other survivors! Russon gasped and climbed up the deck, his otherwise gray eyes suddenly bursting with a gleam.

"Mr. Krosso, I didn't expect you to survive, God forbid!" Ye Guangji was a little incoherent with excitement, and stretched out his hand to help Lu Xun into the cabin and lie on the bed. He was not in good condition at this time, the wound was a little reddish and inflamed, and his hair was dirty and vigorous.

"How did you survive to the point where there is no one else. I've collected supplies that I can use, would you like some food? Russon's mind was dazed when he heard the word food, and nodded quickly when he heard the word food.

A whole smoked fish, a large loaf of bread, and a citrus orange, which Rousson devoured afterwards with gratitude, completely lost his gentlemanly demeanor. He stuffed food in his mouth and answered Ye Guangji's question. "Thank you very much, sir, I have only met you alone."

"My name is Chris Columbus, you can call me Columbus. Eat slowly, there's a lot of food on board. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Columbus, but I was so rude!"

After the conversation, the two rested in the cabin for the night. At dawn the next day, a raft was made from a wooden bed, and supplies were transported back and forth several times to the island. The wood of the boat is broken and soaked in water, and the air is humid and not conducive to food preservation.

The island has a tropical climate with a high mountain in the middle and a stream flowing with fresh water. The two found a leeward place near the water source and built shelter with the ship's tools. The island is not on the main shipping routes, and the number of ships passing by is extremely rare. They had no ships and charts, and if they did, they didn't have enough crews, so they had to wait and try their luck on the island.

Ye Guangji instructed Ruson how to cultivate the land, and he went to the coast to fish with homemade tools. In this era, the development of the ocean was limited, and the fishery resources were extremely abundant, and under Ye Guangji's superb fishing skills, the harvest was abundant every day, and all kinds of seafood were available.

"Columbus, you're amazing! I can catch so many fish, and the cooking tastes so good! After a few days of communication, the two got acquainted with each other a lot, at least they chatted without saying honorifics.

"I was in business with my elders at a very young age, and I have traveled to many places, so naturally I have learned a lot of things. This island is rich in material and is likely to be a mainland island, and after planting, we will explore the island to eliminate possible dangers. ”

"Woohoo!"

"Hahaha! How could I forget you! To give. Ye Guangji rubbed the dog's head, which was constantly clawed, and put down a plate of boiled fish meat with shaved bones.

The puppy was adopted by the two of them and would perform many movements, which was quite likable and brought them a lot of joy. In the past few days, several rabbits, piglets and a black goat have been caught, and they have all been raised in the fence.

Ye Guangji could determine the time through the panel, but he didn't say anything. The two relied on the lines on the planks and the sun in the sky to determine the time. Half a month later, with the efforts of the two, there was a large area of fertile land, and many fruit trees were planted on the periphery.

There is a lot of food and spices on the island, the two of them have rich food and clothing, live a comfortable life, and they don't feel lonely when they chat, but Lu Xun often mentions his lover and feeds Ye Guangji with a mouth full of inferior dog food.

"We don't have much salt, I use seawater to make salt today, you go to the neighborhood to search around to eliminate danger, and try to catch and raise animals as much as possible." It is obvious that Ye Guangji is in a leading position between the two, especially after he relied on tobacco to cure Russon's malaria, and Ruson is even more obedient to him.

"That's right! Orangutans don't want it, it's very easy to get sick if you eat it. ”

"Good!" Scratching his head in embarrassment, Ruson patrolled the territory with a machete and a firecracker.

"The plot really can't be fully believed!" The two had met two groups of orangutans fighting for territory, and Rousson thought they were indigenous cannibals, and shot and rescued one as a slave, and the date was Sunday, so he named it Sunday. After Ye Guangji explained to him that this was an animal, Lu Xun directly shot the orangutan to death, and wanted to eat roasted orangutan meat, but he dissuaded him.

"Hmmm! Since there are no cannibals on this island, there is nothing dangerous here, and you only need to wait for the fleet rebellion in twenty years to complete the advanced mission! ”

The preliminary work of salt production has been completed, and only the last step of boiling salt remains. Boiling salt on the fire with large shells filled with seawater, Ye Guangji practiced the interpretation of the Arm Record and No Hidden Record on the side, and he had a hunch that this skill was about to be formed.

Rousson had watched his practice and was curious. Ye Guangji was in the process of improving the opponent's survivability, so he taught the opponent a little low-level skill, but this was enough for him to deal with the beast. In return and gratitude, Rousson taught him orthodox aristocratic etiquette.

After filtering, the yellow and clear brine was constantly tumbling under the fierce heat, and after a few hours, there was a shadow of sea salt at the bottom, and after eight hours, the arm recorded and no hidden records formed a skill on the panel, and the water in the shell was about to be roasted dry. Drain the excess water and spread the dense sea salt on the leaves to dry.

Self-generation is salt, and life is salt. Although this sea salt can only be regarded as coarse salt, it has been filtered multiple times, and there are much fewer impurities than the sea salt directly dried. It can be used for anti-inflammatory, treatment of mouth ulcers, and can also be used in salt baths.

"It's not tropical, the temperature inside the island is higher than the coast, the plants are sparse and there are a lot of withered leaves......"

"These orangutans are really amazing, they have developed a class society, and they use primitive tools to build rudimentary buildings. Even the bones are similar to humans. Lying in bed, Rousson recounted his discoveries, and at the end he was still haunted by the fact that orangutans were not human, and that the slave trade was a very lucrative business in those days.

"They're the closest animals to humans. It has also been speculated that they are the same species as their human ancestors, but that their ancestors chose to descend to the ground, while they still live in trees. ”

Half a year has passed, and the wheat has grown to the point where it can be harvested under the careful care of the two. The animals are fat and strong, and the home is thriving. There is no way to recover after the tool is worn, and sufficient salt can be used to marinate more food for preservation to prevent possible accidents.

"Hey! The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it hasn't rained a single day in the past few days! No metal ore has been found in the west, so we will go to the south tomorrow to look for it. "Ruson was naked, constantly fanning the wind with his broad leaves, complaining about the weather coming in.

"There are not enough warehouses again, so build a few more warehouses tomorrow. The temperature is indeed getting hotter, let's go swimming! ”

"Hahaha! All right! Do you still want to practice that kung fu of walking on water? Why can't I learn? ”

What Lu Xun said is naturally the wind spectrum of the green grade, and the cultivation of Dacheng can take a step in the air and borrow the wind. Yes, there is only one step, but it is quite useful, maybe the purple grade or the gold grade, there is a light method of stepping on the left foot and the right foot to lift into the air. He hasn't reached that kind of thing yet, so he can only take a step on the surface of the sea to borrow strength.

The weather was indeed a bit unusual, but Ye Guangji believed that it was due to the tropical climate. The tropics are hot of course!

Ruson jumped deep into the sea, dived to the bottom of the sea to catch sea urchins, and floated to the water to eat them raw. "It's so sweet! Columbus, don't you really taste it? ”

"No!" The wind on the beach is warm, and you can't feel a trace of coolness when it blows on your body. However, this is more conducive to Ye Guangji to feel the rhythm of the wind, the wind seems to be calm towards the surface of the lake, and it is almost impossible to feel it. Sometimes it looks like the sea is constantly rippling.

Ye Guangji felt the breath of the wind, when his body synchronized with the rhythm of the wind. One foot did not step on the wind, but he took a step on the surface of the sea and glided far, far away.

"Hey! Failed again! "The wind is so naughty! He misses the feeling of having the blessing of skill points, his mind is clear and superhuman, he can understand it when he sees it, and he can draw inferences from each other and learn from each other.

Lu Xun looked at Ye Guangji's dashing figure in the sea, and secretly decided in his heart. "When I go back and marry Mary, I will go to the mysterious East to learn kung fu, and I will be as good as Columbus. I also had many children with Mary, and my whole family studied together. Saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't help but fall into a beautiful fantasy, and a weird smile came out of his mouth.
