The hull of the Lucky had completely collapsed.

On the sunny sea, nearly 1,000 people held various wooden planks, soaked in the water, and stared at the sky with dull eyes.

"Sir, I know why there aren't enough lifeboats on board the passenger ships now. ”

Guta looked left and right, and suddenly felt that it suddenly dawned on him, "Anyway, it's a wooden ship, a deck, a bulkhead, a mast, and a piece of it can be used to help you float on the sea." ”

"You're quite right, in this age of wooden sailboats, as long as the big ships don't capsize quickly, it's not difficult to find some wood to live in the water. ”

"The era of wooden sailboats?"

"yes. Ji Ao Kendo, "In the future, ships will gradually be built with steel." ”

Guta stuck out his tongue and said in surprise, "Steel shipbuilding, how can it float?"

"Your physics is too poor, and this question is a long story. Ji Aojian paused, "Guta, I think you need to go to school." ”

"Why should I go to school?"

"When you go to school, you will understand why iron ships can sail. ”

"Is this true?" Guta believed when he saw that he was talking about something, "but sir, if they all use iron ships and there is a shipwreck, won't it be difficult to find wood?"

"That's right, so in the future, there must be enough lifeboats on top of the big ship. ”

"That's still the time of the day. "Even if there are not enough boats, there are still enough planks to use at will." ”

"Although there is no shortage of wood, if you keep floating on the sea, you can only wait for death, and there is no radio to call for help from nearby ships in this era. ”

Ji Aojian said this. Suddenly, he pointed forward, "Ancient Tower." Paddle to that place, where there is an acquaintance of ours. ”

"Oh. See, it's York. ”

......

"Thank you, sir, for coming to my rescue. York climbed onto the fishing boat and wiped a handful of water from his face, "What happened on the Fortune, why is it only your private yacht?"

"We've got the guys down there. Guta said stupidly, remembering that his retirement money was lost to these people, and his heart was depressed, "Then they clashed with the guys above." In the process of robbing each other's boats, all the boats were destroyed. ”

York was taken aback, "Why is this happening?"

"Because none of them obey anyone, if I can't get on the boat, I will lose the possibility of getting on the ship. Ji Aojian said, "This is the common psychology of human beings, and it is normal. ”

"This is called the broken window theorem. Guta shook his head.

"Broken window theorem?"

York froze and said to Ji Ao. "Sir, let's not talk about this, how can we rescue them now?"

"Hey, why did you rescue them?"

"You are a messenger of God. York didn't expect to hear this answer. He said in astonishment, "You saved all of our people on the Thunder several times back then, why don't you suddenly save people now?"

"It's been a few years. Don't be superstitious. Ji Aojian sighed, "You want me to rescue hundreds of people on the vast sea." Do I really know magic?"

"Sir, I have always believed that my feelings could not be wrong. York insisted. "I have seen your magical powers, and there is nothing in this world that you cannot do. ”

Ji Aojian held his forehead, "Misunderstanding, what a misunderstanding, I'm just an ordinary person......"

"Sir, be kind. "It is a tragic thing that so many innocent lives will soon disappear at sea," York pleaded. ”

Sarah looked at him and suddenly said, "Mr. York, you are such a good man. ”

York was inexplicable, "Sarah, what do you mean by that?"

"Didn't you almost get thrown into the sea because you were smuggled into the boat, and you were bullied by those people every day?" said Sarah, looking at him appreciatively, "and now you are so focused on saving them. ”

“...... I just think I must save people, not as good as you say. ”

"You want to save people, and that's really good. Ji Aojian saw the joy on York's face, and then said, "So please go and rescue them yourself." ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

"If you want to save people, you should do it yourself. Ji Aojian said strangely, "If you don't want to save people, why do you want to do things for people who want to save people, it doesn't make sense, right?"

York muttered, "You really don't want to save people?"

"I don't have the ability to save people, it's useless whether I want to or not. Ji Aojian obviously didn't want to continue on this topic, "Now we are going to continue our voyage, if you want to stay, please feel free." ”

"There's really no way to forget it. York struggled for a while, "I'm also going to Europe, finding my father, helping him with his fundraising, I can't stay here." ”

'That's fine, we're all in the same goal, so you need to help. ”

"Of course. ”

Ji Aojian said, "Guta, give the oars to York and let him row." ”

"Rescuing York was a good deal. Guta was overjoyed and immediately handed over the pulp.

York didn't refuse, took it in his hand, and slowly stroked.

As the boat drifted away from the sea, leaving the dense crowd of shipwrecked people, York shook his head and sighed with a lot of sorrow.

"Don't sigh. "Fortunately, this is the age of wooden boats, and by the time of the iron ships that followed, most of them would have been shipwrecked." ”

York frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

"Guta means that at least when you leave them, they're all alive. Ji Aojian explained, "There are always infinite possibilities in the world, and as long as they are alive, there is still hope for salvation." ”

"How could they be saved?"

"Trust God, York. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "As long as they are all praying sincerely, maybe a miracle will happen." ”

"Yes, I'm sure they're all praying to God right now. Sarah nodded convincingly, "From now on, I will pray for these unfortunate people as well." ”

"Miss Sarah, you are such a good man. York was moved, "I want to pray with you now, too." ”

Ji Ao Kendao, "York, your task now is rowing. ”

"Ugh. York stopped talking, just buried his head in the paddle and paddled hard.

After a few hours, the rower's arm felt more and more sore, as if it had fallen into a heavy lump of lead, and each stroke required several times the strength of the previous one.

He finally couldn't help but ask, "Sir, when will the shift change?"

"There was no shift change. ”

"What?"

"I said there was no shift change. ”

"How can this be without a shift change, can I cross the Atlantic alone?"

"York, look at it. Ji Aojian pointed at the other two people on the boat and lowered his voice, "Sarah is a lady and Guta is a child, do you want to change shifts with the two of them?

"Of course the two of them don't have to change shifts with me, but sir, won't you change shifts with me?"

"A team needs a reasonable division of labor and cooperation in order to play the highest efficiency. Ji Aojian said solemnly, "I am the captain of this ship, and my job is to point the way on the sea. Of course, if you can take charge of pilotage, I'd be happy to take on the boating job. ”

"Of course I can't make the way. ”

"That's right. Ji Aojian looked at him with great satisfaction, "Think about it, you rowed across the Atlantic Ocean alone, what an incredible feat in human history. When you land, you'll be in the headlines of the major European newspapers, and you'll be a world celebrity. ”

“......”

York was very depressed, "Sir, I know that you must know the route to Europe, and I am not reluctant to accept the task of rowing alone on this boat, but there is one more question, and I want to know the answer." ”

"You say. ”

"If I were to row to the Old World, it would be a long journey, and how would I get the food on the way?"

"You don't have to worry about food. Ji Ao Kendo, "It's all wrapped around me." ”

"Okay, with your words, I have no problem. ”

"Don't worry, York, we got off the boat with a lot of bread. Sarah picked up a large package and said, "I'll give you a piece now, fill my stomach." ”

Ji Aojian stretched out his hand to stop, "Sarah, don't give it to him." ”

"Why is that, sir?"

"There's only one lady on this boat, and the food and water are all yours. Ji Ao Kendao, "As for us, just catch fish and eat it." ”

When York heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Fishing?"

"Yes, there is an inexhaustible supply of natural food in the Atlantic, how can it not be enough for us?"

Ji Aojian stretched out his right hand out of the side of the boat, and immediately fished out a silver-white long fish from the water, "This is our daily sumptuous meal." ”

"Wait, you mean you want us to eat this raw?"

"Is there any difficulty?" Ji Aojian asked rhetorically, throwing the silverfish to the boy next to him, "Guta, show him what to eat." ”

Without hesitation, the Indian boy grabbed the head and tail of the fish, opened his mouth and bit it, swallowing the flesh and juice one by one.

Guta stared at him dumbfounded, and only when there was only a pair of fishbones left, did he finally stammer, "He, he's a primitive man, this is not comparable to me!"

"It's called the ability to survive in the wild, and it has nothing to do with primitive man. ”

Ji Aojian patted him on the shoulder, "York, you just haven't been trained accordingly, so you're worried that it will be difficult to enter." But it doesn't matter, as long as you keep rowing, you will soon feel tired and hungry, and when your body has reached the limit, these sea fish will immediately become the most delicious food in your eyes.
