19. Out of the Tiger's Den

Drifting on the sea for a day and a day.

In the sea area near Shui Zhenla, there is no difference between winter and summer, and even in February, the sun is very scorching.

"Brother Li, you're thirsty!" Li Youfu lay limp on the wreckage of the deck: "Then lick your forehead again, just lick it!"

After speaking, he picked up the "fish bladder water bag" beside Li Bing, opened the seal, "smeared" a little fresh water on his lips, and licked the water droplets on the mouth of the water bag with his tongue, before he reluctantly sealed it.

Just as he was about to put the water bag back, Li Youfu squinted at it, and saw that the monk Puyuan, whose lips had been dry to burst, was looking at him, and then handed the water bag to him. Pu Yuan just stretched out his hand to take it, but he stopped: "There is not much left, I can still hold on." ”

That day, Lao Li Tou took everyone to pick up all the wreckage on the nearby sea, most of which were spices or leather goods, and although he found some dry food, there was no fresh water at all. Some time later, he used the direction in which the sun was moving to determine that it was still blowing northwesterly—the good news that there was still land in the northwest, no matter how far away it was. As long as the wind is not in the right direction, several people will eventually be blown back to land.

Lao Li Tou and his men came out with a simple sail from the wood on other wreckage, and tied hemp rope to the four corners. Leaving behind the priceless goods, he took only dry rations and continued to drift. In his words: "Everything depends on the will of God." After that, move less, reduce consumption, and maybe survive until you float back to shore. ”

Li Youfu's white and tender fat face was flushed with the sun, and he turned over and lay down with difficulty, burying his head in the shadow of Xiaofan. He glanced up ahead and closed his eyes again.

"Brother Li! My forehead is still seasick! Nian (eyes) are full of flower droplets. You think there have to be two boats?"

When Li Bing heard this, he glanced at the direction that Youfu said, and continued to close his eyes to recuperate. He said in a low voice: "......You are wrong again!" Before the word "have" came out, Lao Li Tou shouted excitedly: "It's a boat, it's really a boat!" He straightened up, covered the sun with his hands, and carefully confirmed: "Everyone, get up, those two are boats!

Li Youfu was excited when he heard this, and quickly got up, waved his hand and shouted: "Hey, save us!"

Pu Yuan also got up as soon as he came up, and also shouted for help, exactly like the blessed one.

"They can't hear it! The boat is still far away!" said Lao Li Tou, jumped into the sea himself, raised his head and said to the three men, "Come down and push the boat! ”

The three of them jumped into the water as if they had grasped a life-saving straw and began to tread frantically. Blessed with universal wishes and blessings, he does not know the nature of water, so he can only pick up a broken wooden stick and use it as an oar.

"The ship has sails, no oars, and maybe we'll catch up. ”

Li Bing also came to the momentum, licked his dry lips, and just wanted to shout twice, but his throat was already dry and he couldn't make a sound. He was about to jump into the water when a thought flashed through his mind......

A pair of hands were raised high above his head, his fingers interlocked, and a white light gradually appeared around Li Bing. He tilted his head, his face showing a hideous and tough expression, and the white light on his body gradually became thicker and no longer transparent. He slapped his hands apart and slammed them together.

"Whew!" a white light shot up into the sky. This is exactly the "Wearing the Stars and the Moon" in "Yangyue Sword Technique".

Even though it was daytime, this light shone on the side of the blessed side, and it was very dazzling.

"Huh!" was a second white light, rising into the sky.

"Good way!" Pu Yuan groaned, stood back beside Li Bing, pinched Zen Jue in his left hand, and held the broken wooden stick in his right hand, and the golden color instantly wrapped his entire right arm.

"The light of the Buddha shines!"

A yellow light exploded, and the entire small sail turned golden, and faded again in an instant.

In this way, one yellow and one white, staggered and flickering, on the boring sea, it has become a more conspicuous place than the official lighthouse.

Yellow light! White light!

Once, twice......

Five times......

Ten times......

Li Youfu watched anxiously, but the two ships did not turn at all.

The light wasn't dazzling under the sun, but it was enough to get the attention of the people on board. But the two ships were sailing so fast that they didn't seem to have any intention of turning around. Even if Lao Li Tou and the others tried their best, they could only watch the two boats get farther and farther away.

Li Youfu shouted anxiously again: "Hey, help, don't go!" shouted and shouted, there was a trace of crying, and the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing out, he was really still a child.

The two ships are getting farther and farther away from everyone, and the hope of catching up is getting slimmer and slimmer. Lao Li Tou still didn't give up, and continued to shout to the guy: "Come on, don't stop! That's the last hope!"

Pu Yuan also shouted, and the light in his hand burst even more dazzling.

When everyone was almost desperate, Li Bingqiang pressed his torn throat and pointed to the distance: "Turn the sails! They have turned the sails, they are coming!"

"They're coming!"

Li Youfu looked at this, couldn't suppress his previous fear anymore, and cried out loud.

On the other side of the sea, the situation is even worse. Xu, Rimai and Anzi did not have any supplies, and they drifted at sea for two days without a drop of water.

Rimai's health is very good, and he still retains his spirit, straightens up, sits in front of Xu, and blocks the sun for him.

Xu's muscles and bones may not be as good as Anzi's, and he is already slightly dehydrated, so he put his head against Rimai's back to make his body slightly more comfortable.

Yasuko slumped and lay on the log, occasionally licking her lips with her tongue. Suddenly, he raised his head, turned sideways, and pointed to his right: "Look, there is a boat!"

In the distance, a boat was heading towards several people quickly, not only with sails, but also with dozens of oars on the left and right sides. The boat seemed to have spotted several people before Yasuko spotted them, and it was heading straight for them.

Yasuko shouted happily.

The ship soon approached - the ship was also four sails, two large and two small, and the structure seemed to be almost the same as that of the merchant ship back to Quanzhou, but in terms of size, it seemed to be slightly out of the circle. There were fourteen oars on each side of the hull, and there should be quite a few guys in the boat.

"Wow~!" a crisp sound. The floating log finally crashed into the hull of the ship.

A dark-skinned man poked his head out, looked at the three of them, shouted something that Yasuko didn't understand, and threw the rope ladder down.

Rimai was in the front, he climbed two sections first, then turned around and pulled Xu a hand, helped Xu up the rope ladder, and Anzi walked last.

No sooner had the three of them climbed over the railing, and before they could stand on their feet, they noticed a circle of people in front of them—all dark-skinned, and their limbs short but extremely thick.

The man on the left seemed to be less than twenty years old, but he was one-eyed, with a narrow scar on his right eye, and the man on the right, a little older, about forty, and of all the men, he was the only one who was tall enough to catch up with Rimai, and the man standing in the middle of the group looked very fierce with a fleshy face and loose hair.

The tall man threw a water bag to Rimai and shouted two sentences, but Rimai didn't understand, just opened the water bag, tasted it first, made sure there was nothing unusual, and then handed it to Xu. He's a spirit, and if there's something wrong with the water, he'll probably be able to detect it.

Xu took the water bag, did not drink it, and handed it to Anzi. Anzi prevaricated slightly, but still took a big sip and handed it back.

Before he could put the hydration bag to his mouth, the fierce face of the group of people was finally revealed. As soon as the younger brother took out the weapon hidden behind him, pointed at the three of them, the one-eyed young man put two words fiercely, which was considered intimidation, he gave a little brother a look, and the man walked up with a hemp rope, and without saying a word, he grabbed Anzi's hands and wanted to tie them up.

As soon as Anzi resisted, two shiny long knives were already on his shoulders, forming a cross, and the blades were almost embedded in the flesh, making Anzi's skin ache faintly.

He squinted, not daring to move.

"Don't worry, let's see what they're going to do!" Xu said lightly after drinking the water, handed the water bag to Rimai, and took the initiative to stretch out his hands in front of him:

"Once on board, it was safe. ”
