Chapter 30: Shipwrecked
After throwing away all the food, Jin Shihou began to help Li Sui nail the holes in the cabin with wooden planks.
But as soon as this one was repaired, the fractures in several places next to it were enlarged by the huge impact of the current, and the sea water poured in unscrupulously, and by this time, the sea water had already submerged the ankles of the two.
Li Sui already vaguely felt that the hull had begun to sink.
"This can't be done, big brother, if you go up like this, this ship will sink sooner or later, you go and throw Jin An's body away."
In fact, the heaviest thing in the entire cabin was Jin An's body, and the sum of all the things that Jin Shihou threw away just now may be less than half of Jin An's body.
Originally, Li Sui didn't want to touch Jin An's body, he understood what Jin An's body meant to Jin Shihou.
However, he did not expect that the current would come so quickly, and if this situation continued, the whole ship would sink in another cup of tea.
At this time, all they can do is to reduce all possible weight as much as possible, and then seize the time to fill the loopholes, so that there may be a glimmer of life.
"No, I don't agree, even if the ship sinks, I won't abandon Jin An's body." Jin Shihou hurriedly refused.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself." Seeing that Jin Shihou disagreed, Li casually planned to do it himself.
"Second brother, if you want to throw Jin An's corpse, throw me off this ship first." Jin Shihou suddenly pounced on Jin An's corpse.
"Big brother, you sober me up, do you think that Jin An gave his life just to see the two of us die with him? The deceased is gone, we just need to put him in our hearts, so why care about a pair of skins? Moreover, this vast sea may not be a good place for Jin'an. ”
Li Sui didn't know where the strength came from, so he actually pulled Jin Shihou up.
Jin Shihou knew that what Li Sui said was right, but he couldn't get past himself emotionally, so he fell silent for a while.
Seeing that Jin Shihou didn't speak, Li casually put down Jin Shihou, and then dragged Jin An's two arms with his two hands, dragged him out of the cabin, and then threw him into the sea.
After throwing Jin An's body into the sea, Li Sui hurriedly ran back to the cabin and began to repair the ship's planks.
"Big brother, why are you still stupid? Help. Li Sui saw Jin Shihou standing motionless in a daze, probably still thinking about throwing Jin An's body into the sea, and unconsciously raised his voice.
After Li Sui called this, Jin Shihou came back to his senses, he knew that now was not the time to be sad, otherwise all the efforts he had made before would be in vain, so he hurriedly picked up the wooden board and began to repair the holes on the cabin.
At this time, the sea breeze was blowing more and more fiercely, and the sea water rushed towards the boat like a fierce beast.
"Click", "click", ............ "click" were a few crisp sounds, and a few more planks were broken by the sea. The speed at which Li and the two of them repaired it was not comparable to the speed of the influx of seawater, and soon, the seawater in the cabin had already reached the small shin of the two.
The boat began to shake even more violently under the impact of the strong wind and waves, and the speed of the boat sinking was obviously much faster than before.
At this point, it was useless to repair the ship's hold, and it was a matter of time before the ship was sunk.
In desperation, Li Sui immediately tied the Chiyou sword that Jin An had left for him to his back, and then picked up an axe and said to Jin Shihou, "Big brother, take your luggage and follow me." ”
Jin Shihou didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly carried the burden, and then ran out of the cabin with Li Sui.
As soon as he got out of the cabin, Li Sui raised the axe in his hand, aimed at the waist of the ship's mast, and slashed it down.
After a while, Li Sui was already sweating profusely, if Jin An was still there at this time, it would be good, with his superb martial arts, to break this mast, it is not a matter of catching it?
"Second brother, you can rest for a while, and come for me." Seeing that Li Sui was a little physically exhausted, Jin Shihou took the initiative to catch the axe in Li Sui's hand and began to split the mast.
With a "boom", the mast fell to the ground, and the two hurriedly hugged the mast together and fell into the sea.
The two knew that if they didn't find the shore quickly, they would die on the vast sea sooner or later, so they had to hold on to the mast with one hand and paddle with the other to row to the east side of the sea.
Now we can only hope that there will be an island not far away, or a ship passing by.
In this way, they wandered at sea for a day and a night, during which time they simply ate a little food and water.
The food is wrapped in waterproof paper, and the ancients often wrapped a layer of waterproof paper around the food in order to prevent the food from getting wet.
This kind of waterproof paper is made by coating a thin layer of tung oil on the surface of the paper, and then undergoing special treatment.
Although it is not 100% waterproof, and the dry food is already half wet, it is a special moment, and it is not so much important.
And the water is in a kettle, so it can still be drunk.
But most of their food had been thrown into the sea, and at this time, they were carrying enough food to last the two of them for three days.
By noon the next day, Jin Shihou had already begun to lose his strength.
He lay his hands on the mast and gasped for air in his mouth, "I...... I can't...... Two...... Brother, we ...... Let's take a break. ”
Seeing him like this, Li Sui had no choice but to stop paddling forward, and put his other hand hanging on the mast and began to rest.
The sun shone hotly on the two of them, and beads of sweat continued to ooze from their foreheads.
"Second brother, look...... Right now...... What to do? Our...... ...... of water It's running out of ...... Skip the meal...... Don't drink water...... We...... I can't support it...... A few days...... "Forgetting that there was less than half of the water left in the kettle, Jin Shihou just took a shallow sip, and then handed the kettle to Li Sui.
Li Sui looked at the water in the kettle, drank a little bit, and also fell into deep thought.
yes, the water is running out, what should I do? The sea is absolutely undrinkable, and I don't know when I will come across the boat.
If there is no water, he and Jin Shihou will not be able to support it for long. Maybe what awaits you is a dead end. No...... He still has a big revenge that has not been avenged, and his two sons are still waiting for him in his homeland. You must not die.
At this time, Li Sui's gaze unconsciously turned to Jin Shihou.
Yes, there is enough water in the kettle, and it is even less to divide it between two people, if Jin Shihou is not there at this time, then he may be able to rely on the only remaining water to hold on for a while longer. You might even be able to wait until a nearby boat passes by.
"I don't know, now I can only take one step at a time." After speaking, Li Sui handed the kettle to Jin Shihou again.
After Jin Shihou put the kettle into the baggage, he also fell into deep thought. Little did he know that danger was looming at him.
"I'm sorry, big brother." Li Sui said silently in his heart, then held the mast with one hand, and secretly took out a dagger glowing with cold light from his arms with the other.
