Chapter 30: Survival on a Desert Island (5)
Nangong Yu was startled in his heart, and hurriedly bent his fingers to pop out a little spark, and it exploded in mid-air with a "boom", and the flames splashed everywhere, raising a stream of air. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Niwa Nagato lit the thunder one after another and threw it, and others also helped throw it over. No matter how fast Nangong Yu moved, he couldn't stop so many thunderbolts, two of them flew to the front, he hurriedly jumped back, the explosions rose one after another, the water splashed, the sawdust flew sideways, the stern of the ship was blown down, and the fire spread to the side of the ship. Nangong Yugang wanted to put out the fire, when he suddenly heard a loud bang overhead, and a thunderbolt burned the sails. Nangong Yu thought to herself, she would definitely not be able to run without sails. At this time, the fire in the stern was even greater, and the ship stopped, and he was powerless to do anything about it, watching the cargo ship slowly approach.
He suddenly saw two paddle boats on the deck, so he quickly rushed over, kicked one of them first, lifted the other and threw it into the sea, and before jumping off the ship, he suddenly thought of something, rushed back to search their cabins one by one, took a samurai suit wrapped in a large amount of food and drink, and then jumped into the boat, shook the paddle with both hands, and rode away against the wind and waves. At this time, Niwa Nagato and the others also rushed through the fire at the stern of the ship and rushed to the front, while the Nangong Yu boat was already hidden in the darkness. Oda Hideko shouted into the darkness, "You come back!"
Nangong Yu knew that he was not out of danger, but the danger had just begun, a small boat was in the middle of the vast sea, not to mention that he was still lost, he could only row towards the west by feeling, comforting himself that this place was not too far from Middle-earth, although the boat was slower, fortunately, there was enough food, and if the direction was correct, it could be reached in a few days.
He brawed hard and rowed hard, when the wound in his shoulder began to ache again, and he paddled all night, and at dawn he lost his strength and fell asleep on the boat.
When I woke up, I was dumbfounded, only to see the vast sea all around, where to distinguish the south, east and west, and it was still cloudy, and I couldn't tell the direction through the sun. Cloudy day? Nangong Yu's heart sank, and when he looked at the sky, he saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, the sea breeze was getting stronger, and the waves were much higher, and after a while, it began to rain lightly.
Nangong Yu secretly called unlucky, knowing that this was a precursor to a storm, and at night he didn't know what the waves and winds would be fierce. But now he can only resign himself to fate, there is no way at all, the only thing he can do is to eat a little more, increase his physical strength, and then do nothing to heal his injuries.
As expected, in the evening, the rain poured down, the sea breeze howled, and the black waves smashed down like a city wall. Nangong Yu was already soaking wet, he wrapped the supplies and oars around his body in a samurai suit, and tightly grasped the two edges of the boat with both hands to prevent the boat from turning over.
Another great wave rolled and carried him and the boat four feet into the air, and threw them out. Nangong Yu flattened the boat in the air, and as soon as it fell, a bigger wave came. Nangong Yu turned in the air, and he kept the boat from capsizing for dozens of waves, but in the end, the wave hit him in the face, he couldn't hold on to the edge of the boat anymore, and flew out sideways, just like water, he was drowned by the waves and hit the sea.
The bottom of the sea is also turbulent, he swam out of the water with his hands and feet, just saw a big wave smashing his head, he just retracted back into the sea, his body was also carried out by the big wave a few feet, after rising again, he took out the oars, pressed under his shoulders, increased buoyancy, and tightened the samurai suit behind his back. Although the supplies in the samurai suit were heavy and burdensome, he would never throw away life-saving food and water until he had to, and his purpose was to return to Middle-earth, not just to escape the storm.
He glanced at the sea, and there was no trace of the boat, so he had to hold the oars, retain his strength to the maximum, and meet the waves and winds round after round. His perseverance was so great that he persevered all night under his severe injuries, and by the time the anger had dissipated and the sea breeze had subsided, he was exhausted, his head was dizzy from the waves, and he just wanted to find a place to relax his limbs and sleep well. But now he could not sleep, and although the oars were buoyant, they could not fully support his weight, and the water had to be gently swung under his feet to not sink.
There is still an endless sea in front of him, this situation is already desperate for other people, but Nangong Yu is not, as long as he is not dead, he will definitely try to survive, maybe he can survive with a little effort, he will not let go of any opportunity.
He climbed on the oars, his feet gently swinging the water, and swam forward like a turtle crawling. He didn't care where he went, so he couldn't stay where he was. Unexpectedly, the sun after the storm was so bright, and the scorching sun on the sea made him dizzy, so he stopped, took a sip of water, and continued to swim forward. Maybe there is no front, maybe even if the physical strength is exhausted, there is still a sea ahead. The eyelids under the scorching sun only fought, and the wounds were soaked in the seawater and hurt and stung, but his feet did not stop for a moment.
He didn't know how to hold on until the evening, at this time he was all relying on a will to maintain his body unsinkable, his waist from the beginning of the soreness and stiffness, to the current numbness, feeling that the body and soul were gradually separating, that feeling was so wonderful, as if suddenly out of pain, lying on the green and soft lawn, looking at the blue sky, feeling the warmth of the sun, smelling the fragrance of flowers around him, rippling in drowsy tiredness. He opened his eyes suddenly, shook his head violently, plunged headlong into the sea to sober up, and continued to swing his feet forward.
But there is always a limit to people's physical strength, and at dawn, Nangong Yu was almost a lifeless walking corpse, covered in lead, as if his entire body was no longer his own, and he couldn't move if he wanted to. I just feel that my body is starting to sink, and the only thing I can do is to raise my head high, and it is good to die a second later.
Half of his body sank, he felt as if his hands and feet had touched something, stopped the sinking momentum, and grabbed a handful of sand with his hands. How can there be sand in the sea? Could it be that you have sunk to the bottom? You have become a soul floating at the bottom of the sea?
He didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, and his hand went up again, and he touched something hard, a stone. This time he was sure, curiosity made him open his eyes, and there was a sandy beach in front of him, and he was at the very edge of the sand. At that moment, I don't know where the strength came from, he desperately crawled towards the beach, and then fell on the damp sand and fell into a deep sleep.
He had a long, long dream, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that the sun was shining so high that he couldn't open his eyes, and he scratched a handful of yellow sand on the ground, remembered the experience of last night, and secretly rejoiced that he should not die. As soon as he moved, his limbs were sore to death, he touched the supplies next to him, fortunately he didn't lose them, and dragged his samurai suit forward.
Above the beach was a large rubber forest, he sat at the edge of the forest, opened his samurai suit and looked at the supplies inside, most of them were still edible, but the two bags of water were spilled, and the water was the most urgently needed at the moment. After he finished eating, he moved his body a little, and the soreness was a little lighter, and then he got up and walked slowly into the woods.
Unexpectedly, the forest was very dense, and there were many other tropical trees besides rubber trees, so he thought to himself that this island seemed to be not small, and since there was such a dense jungle, he would definitely be able to find a water source.
He walked around in the forest for half an hour, and suddenly found a dampness under his feet, squatted down and touched it, the mud and grass nearby were wet, so he followed the traces of dampness to find it, and sure enough, he found a spring in the rocks not far away, and kept bubbling the hot spring. He was overjoyed, hurriedly filled two skins, and after drinking a heart, he began to calculate.
Before returning to Middle-earth, you must first recover your strength, recuperate from your injuries, and be fully prepared before attempting to cross the sea, which is more than enough to make a raft due to the lush forests, as long as you paddle in the direction of the setting sun. Thinking of this, he relieved himself and began to observe the island.
The island is generally composed of two parts, one part is a large forest dominated by rubber trees, and the other part is a rocky reef. Nangong Yu walked around the labyrinthine reef pile a few times, but did not find a suitable cave to rest, so she had to return to the forest and meditate near the spring.
