Ailon Island, in Lu Yuan's memory bank, there is a natural pier here. [No pop-up novel website]
It is not a natural harbor, just a small piece of low cliff with no rocks below. As long as the sea conditions are good, it is fully qualified for the "Elona" to dock directly. There is enough water depth under the cliff for the "Elona" to dock at the port, and the height of the cliff itself is not very high, so the warship can deliver goods directly to the cliff as long as it takes a ramp.
Until daybreak, there's no better option nearby.
"That guy doesn't seem to be a person who gives up easily. I think we have at most four hours before dawn. I will repair the ship, and you will arrange for these sailors to go ashore." Lu Yuan rolled up two wooden barrels with his tentacles Placed on the cliff, "These are healing potions. Those who survive can ensure recovery as long as they insist on drinking some every day."
Li Huamei nodded, but when she passed by Lu Yuan, she suddenly whispered "I'm sorry." Lu Yuan looked at her in surprise. Even though it was covered by the night, Lu Yuan's eyes that could see at night could still see the shyness on Li Huamei's cheeks.
Before Lu Yuan could answer, Li Huamei had already tiptoed and floated into the cabin as if fleeing, leaving Lu Yuan in a daze.
Clifford's target was the two of them and the "Elona", not these sailors. Letting them ashore and then using the ship to divert the pursuers is the best option. Moreover, these people infected with the disease may be more frightening than shipwrecks in this era. Whoever discovers them will notify the fleet to come and exterminate them. Find such a deserted island to hide and recuperate, and wait until everyone is cured before going out, so as to ensure the safety of these people.
Therefore, after Li Huamei explained the situation to the sailors, as long as they were still conscious, they all took action and tried to save themselves.
The patients, who could barely move, supported and dragged each other, even if they could barely crawl, they had to climb to the shore. At least don't become a burden to others. Those crew members who have recovered well and can move a little still need to take advantage of the cover of night to carry as much food and fresh water ashore as possible, and prepare some weapons, which will be all their supplies in the future.
Li Huamei is directing and dispatching here, and is as considerate as possible for these people. Very busy. She designated John's first mate as her assistant, with the intention of leaving the command to the first mate after they left. Over there, Lu Yuan began to replace the sail that was torn by the chain bullet, took out the spare wood, and reattached a section to the broken mizzen mast. With the help of magic, the repair work is progressing very smoothly.
When morning comes. All work has been basically completed. The crew set up a camp that was sheltered from the wind and rain, and hung branches on it for shelter. Most of the food and water on the ship had been unloaded, but it would take more time to move them all to the camp, but the remaining work It can be left to the crew to complete slowly.
I believe that after the two men with the huge reward left with the ship, the British would no longer be interested in visiting the island. What's more... don't forget these people's infectious diseases! Even if Clifford released this demon himself, he would still be scared to death. In an era when influenza can kill tens of millions of people. The epidemic has long been demonized, and even if you hold the treatment drugs in your hands, you will not feel more secure.
The work of sailors ashore is nearing completion, and the repair work here is almost complete. Except for the broken captain's cabin, the "Elona" has been basically repaired. As long as it does not experience any major storms, its sailing speed is almost the same as before.
After Lu Yuan tightened the last rope buckle on the mast, he looked up. Morning sunshine. The light just fell on Li Huamei, who was standing on the bridge. Although there was transparent sweat on her forehead and the hair on her forehead was a little messy and stuck to her skin, at this moment Li Huamei exuded brilliance from the inside out. Her smile can make anyone happy.
It seemed that her knot was finally untied.
Lu Yuan slid down the mast, "Hua Mei..." he shouted. This was the first communication between the two of them since the "I'm sorry" last night, and Li Huamei agreed. But her eyes were a little evasive to his gaze.
"I wonder if there are any ferocious beasts on this island..." Lu Yuan looked deeper into the island with a worried expression. "I want to take a look, but..." He pointed at the ship behind him with his thumb, "There are still a lot of things that need to be repaired."
"Brother Lu, there is no need to worry. Huamei can just go and investigate!" Li Huamei raised her hand cheerfully, holding the sheathed sword in her hand, and with a few leaps, she followed the treetops to the depths of the island.
Seeing Li Huamei walking away, Lu Yuan pulled John's first mate over and said, "I'll leave right away. You know what to do with the rest..."
"What about Admiral Li?"
"She will be safer if she is not with me." After seeing the first mate nod in realization, Lu Yuan continued, "After you leave the island in the future, you can go to Port of Spain to find Humphrey Douglas. He will help you arrange a pick-up. What comes down...try to survive, this is John's only request to you."
****
Taking advantage of Li Huamei's absence, Lu Yuan untied the cable of the "Elona" and jumped on board, unfolded the azure sails face to face, then steered the ship to turn the bow outward, and slowly sailed towards the east. .
Just when the ship was less than fifty meters away from the shore, "Lu Yuan~!" A voice full of anger and unwillingness came. Li Huamei rushed to the edge of the cliff and shouted loudly towards Lu Yuan. "Lu Yuan! You bastard! You...come back! Don't let me hate you forever!"
Fifty meters across the water, the two people looked at each other from a distance. Lu Yuan clasped his fists calmly, and spoke with a strong voice across the sea, "Huamei, we say goodbye today, and we will never see you again. The mountains are high and the roads are far, so take care of yourself!"
Li Huamei looked at the raised sail and the sailboat that was about to pick up speed. She clearly knew that he left her behind because he wanted to take out the danger alone. She had done this kind of thing for her subordinates several times in the past. But for some reason, I just felt that the grievance in my chest was uncontrollable. She finally couldn't bear it anymore and stamped her feet, shouting "Don't even think about it!" After saying that, she flew with all her strength and flew towards the "Elona" like a cloud crane.
However, even if Li Huamei had superb qinggong, it would be impossible for her to cross fifty meters of water in one leap. She doesn't have Lu Yuan's "Lingbo Weibu" skill, so she can walk on water even if she falls. After jumping a few feet off the cliff, his body began to fall. "Ah~!" Li Huamei closed her eyes this time and screamed, about to fall to pieces.
Lu Yuan, who was far away, couldn't help but slap his forehead, "I knew this bitch would be able to jump into the sea!" He knew that it was 70% or 80% fake, and 12% of it was true. Besides, one of her great masters, a naval admiral, fell into the sea and could not drown. But who told Lu Yuan to do this...
There was a "crash" sound, and a sky full of broken jade rose up between Lu Yuan and the cliff. The water splashes were colorful under the reflection of the morning light, like a rainbow lying across the water.
A rope that had already sunk under the water broke through the water and flew out. It was wrapped around the waist of the fallen Li Huamei and pulled her onto the boat.
When Li Huamei landed on the stern of the ship, Lu Yuan looked at her smiling and talking, with a proud expression as if her plan had succeeded, but she didn't look a little bit angry just now.
"The Master once said that only women and villains are difficult to raise." Lu Yuan shook his head and complained, then left in a boat.
Li Huamei was really a little too lively today, but Lu Yuan could understand her change. Speaking of which, Li Huamei was probably a wild girl when she was young, otherwise the ladies of that family would have practiced martial arts and become a core disciple of the Wudang Sect. Later, his father was killed by Japanese pirates and his family fell into decline. Li Huamei was angry and went to sea to avenge his father. Although she wiped out Japanese pirates and suppressed Nanyang for several years, she was still a little girl, at best a heroine.
Li Huamei has no big ambitions or big plans, and has lost the motivation to move forward after taking revenge. But the group behind her had their own pursuits. When Li Huamei blindly compromised the Ming Dynasty's various methods and just wanted to hang up her crown and go away to be free and at ease, the differences between her and her subordinates naturally became larger and larger, which eventually led to Today's situation.
In fact, it is not possible to say who is right or wrong. During this period of traveling alone, Li Huamei finally figured this out. So in St. Martin, when Yi An and Yi An were across the street, Yi An didn't dare to see Li Huamei, and Li Huamei did the same.
But the scene last night can be regarded as "meeting and smiling, forgetting grudges". From then on, the road faced the sky, and everyone walked on one side. From this point of view, Lin Nanxuan, the admiral of the Ming Dynasty fleet, was much more suitable than Li Huamei. After yesterday's farewell, all her old troops would eventually return to Lin Nanxuan's command.
Everyone gets what he deserves.
Since she had defeated Lu Yuan, Li Huamei let go of what had just happened. However, when she saw that the ship turned around and headed east, she asked, "Why go east?"
"There is an old friend over there who can help." Lu Yuan opened his arms above his head and gestured, "Big, big old friend! Remember what I mentioned to you, that time I kept heading east, and then That trip where you encountered the Norwegian Kraken?”
"No way..." Li Huamei's eyes suddenly widened, which was very beautiful. She's not taking any medicine, she's cute, she's talking about her current state. "You mean Hydra?!" Li Huamei heard him occasionally talk about this adventure. The fairy tale-like experience had always made her doubtful, so it was not surprising that she could guess it right away. "I remember you said it said it was going to eat you!"
"Ha, it doesn't dare. Even though it's so big, it's actually a big softie." Lu Yuan briefly told some of the stories behind it, "Hydra tricked me once, he owes me."
After saying that, Lu Yuan pointed to the British fleet that was gradually appearing in the northern sky, "Besides, he should be very grateful to me for sending him snacks." To be continued.
