Hearing Changsheng's words, Datou stared in shock, "No way. If they really can't find them back, what will we do?"
"It's easy for us to talk. Even if there is no ship, we can still go back," Changsheng shook his head and said, "What I'm worried about now is them. If they are blown too far away, they really won't be able to find them back."
Seeing Chang Sheng's worries, Datou hurriedly said, "My lord, you don't have to worry too much. When I was loading the ship, I saw a pile of iron chains on the bow of the ship with a big iron hook hanging on it. According to the boatman, that thing is called an anchor. , able to hook onto the rocks on the seabed to secure the ship, and as long as they drop the anchor, the strong wind should not be able to blow them away.”
After finishing speaking, Changsheng frowned and shook his head, "I have seen the thing you mentioned, but the wind is really too strong. If they drop the anchor, it will be like fighting the hurricane, and it will definitely be overturned."
Datou scratched his head in worry, and then remembered something, "By the way, Your Majesty, it's okay even if they can't find it back. As long as they can drive the boat back, they know that I can ride Miss Bai back, and they also know that you can ride back." The black masters are flying across the sea, so there is no need for them to come to pick us up."
When I first heard what Da Tou said made sense, it made sense, but when I thought about it more carefully, I couldn't believe it. "We are already far away from the Middle Earth at this time. Can Miss Bai carry you back in one breath?"
"There must be a few islands on the way." Datou said.
"What if I don't meet you?" Chang Sheng said, "Also, riding the Black Master across the sea will waste a lot of my spiritual energy. If there is no place to stay on the way, I can't just run back on it. My spiritual energy is It can support me to return alone, but I can’t leave Mr. Black here.”
"Hey, oh, oh, prince, don't bake it, it's burnt, it's burnt." Datou stepped forward quickly and grabbed his clothes from the stone bed.
Hearing Da Tou exclaim, Chang Sheng came back to his senses. When he was talking earlier, he had been urging the pure Yang spiritual energy to bake the two people's clothes. Because he was distracted by talking, Da Tou's clothes were directly burned.
The clothes didn't catch on fire, but they were baked to a crisp. The scorched areas shattered and fell off when the big head was shaken. A comparison showed that the huge hole was right on the buttocks.
Their changes of clothes were all on the boat, so they had to put on just what they had. Fortunately, there was a pair of underwear underneath so that their buttocks wouldn't be exposed.
Changsheng then dressed up, and the two of them sat on the stone bed, looking sadly at the strong wind and heavy rain outside the cave.
Let’s not talk about the aftermath for now, just talk about the terrifying storm in front of us. Whether our big ship can withstand such a terrible storm is really a matter of two or two. Even if it can, it will be blown far away by the strong wind, and once it deviates from the route , the ship may hit the rocks at any time.
As night fell completely, the wind and rain not only did not abate, but became stronger and heavier. During the day, the wind was from the west, and at the beginning of the rain, the wind was from the north. By the second watch, it turned back to the west wind. The cold wind howled, making people feel harsh.
"Such a scraping method can really take them to Japan." Datou smiled bitterly.
Chang Sheng responded with a wry smile, the matter had come to this, and worrying was in vain, everything could only depend on the fate of Yang Kai and others.
The wind and rain at sea were very different from the wind and rain on land. It lasted for two full hours without stopping. It was dark outside, the rain was pouring, and the wind was harsh, as if we were in a ghost land.
The two of them didn't close their eyes all night. One of the reasons was that they were worried about Yang Kai and others. Another reason was that they wanted to wait for the wind and rain to stop and go out for a walk to see if any Japanese pirates who were lucky were washed up on the island by the waves.
It wasn't until dawn that the wind and rain stopped. Just as it had come suddenly, it stopped extremely suddenly, without any warning.
After the wind and rain stopped, the two people left the cave and looked around. The trees on the island were severely damaged. Many leaves were blown away and knocked down, and many trees were even uprooted by the strong wind.
"Looking at this situation, storms as heavy as last night are rare at sea." Datou said casually.
"Go to the beach and have a look." Changsheng stepped forward.
After a while, the two came to the seaside. At this time, the east had already brightened up. There was no frost or fog on the sea, and the field of vision was wide. They stood on the seaside and looked around, but there was no trace of their own ship anywhere.
There are several corpses of Japanese pirates floating in the shallow water on the beach. They must have been attacked by giant crabs. All of them are missing arms and legs. You don't need to go to check to know that they are dead long ago.
Worried that some fish might have slipped through the net, Datou still circled around the island. Since the island was not big, Datou came back not long after.
From a long distance away, I saw something in Da Tou's hand. When I got closer, I realized that it was a table with no legs. I wanted to ask Da Tou what he was doing after picking up a broken table, but when he took a closer look, But I found that this desktop looked very familiar. I must have seen it somewhere before.
Frowning in memory, he quickly remembered where he had seen this table. This table was originally placed in the observation deck on the fifth floor. Yesterday, he sat next to the table and drank tea.
Datou also had an impression of this table. When he saw Changsheng frowning, he knew that Changsheng also remembered this table, "My lord, the situation is not good."
Chang Sheng frowned and nodded. This table was originally placed inside the observation tower, but now it appears here. This means that the fifth-floor observation tower has probably been blown away by the hurricane. Even the sturdy observation tower has been blown away. The mast must not be spared either.
Datou threw down the table and looked up at Changsheng, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"Let me think about it." Changsheng said casually. The strong wind blew all night last night, and the heavy rain also fell all night. It is very likely that our ship has been seriously damaged. If it is just the mast that is missing, it is not bad. There are still other things on the ship. Boatman, can paddle back. If the hull of the ship is damaged, Yang Kai and others will be in danger.
This is the time when the tacit understanding between each other is most tested. Yang Kai and others know that he and Datou are on this island, and they also know that the storm last night will not pose any threat to the two of them. At this time, he needs to stand on From the standpoint of Yang Kai and others, they can guess what Yang Kai and others will do next.
If the ship is seriously damaged, Yang Kai and others will be unable to do anything. If they are lucky, they will live on the island and wait for rescue. If they are not lucky, they will be buried under the sea.
If the ship is slightly damaged and is not blown too far by the hurricane, Yang Kai and others will try to return to this sea area and meet them.
If the ship is slightly damaged but far away, Yang Kai and others may risk taking a shortcut back to China, because there are not many islands marked on the maritime map. As long as they deviate from the route, they will not be able to find them again. It's too easy, and even if you find it, you may meet up with the Japanese pirates who are coming back for reinforcements. If you happen to encounter the Japanese pirates who are returning for reinforcements, your own plan to bring the tiger back to the mountain will fall short, and Yang Kai and others There will also be danger.
As the saying goes, choose the lesser of two evils. Compared with the hidden reefs and turbulence of unknown routes, Yang Kai and others are more unwilling to encounter Japanese pirates who return to their country.
After pondering, Changsheng turned to look at Datou beside him, "We'll talk about staying on the island for a few days."
"Okay," Datou nodded first and then asked, "How long will you stay?"
"Stay here until you see the Japanese pirates' ships returning to support our country," Changsheng said. "Yesterday, the Japanese pirates on the ship have sent back the news that we are sailing eastward. After hearing the news, the Japanese pirates will definitely gather people to return to their own country and take a safe route. This is the only one. If they pass by from the southern sea, we can see their boats on the island."
Chang Sheng paused for a moment before continuing, "If Yang Kai and others are still nearby, they will try to come back to meet us, but if there is no movement for more than three days, they probably won't come back, because After more than three days, if they come to this sea area again, they may encounter the Japanese pirates who have returned to Japan."
After Datou nodded, Changsheng said again, "We can't wait these three days. The wind blew from the north last night, and then it turned to the west. That means our ships are either in the southern sea or in the east at this time. In the sea area, we are divided into two groups. You and I will search southward within the range that Miss Bai can travel back and forth. I will search eastward. In order to save spiritual energy, I will not ride Black Young Master by then. I can rely on pure Yin energy alone for a long time. Stranded at sea.”
After hearing about the longevity plan, Datou nodded again, "Okay, I'll get some food first. I just walked around the island and found a lot of rabbits on the island."
The area of this island is not large. In addition, people have lived on the island before, which means that there are no ferocious birds and beasts on the island. Datou went hunting, and Changsheng returned to the cave and took out the two jars and washed them clean from the sea. After that, half a jar of sea water was filled and the fire was started for cooking.
It had just rained last night, and there was rainwater everywhere on the island. Another jar was used to hold the rainwater, which was also put on the fire to roast. The rainwater also had to be boiled before drinking.
Not long after, Big Tou picked up four rabbits, threw two to Miss Bai, peeled the other two and washed them, then threw them into a jar filled with rainwater.
Changsheng lived alone in his early years, and Datou was also homeless when he was a child. It is not difficult for the two of them to make a living in the wild. If you can cook it, try not to bake it, because whether it is a pheasant or a hare, it is difficult to roast it. Most of them It's all accidental at times.
Salt can be obtained by boiling the seawater in the jar to dryness. Anyone with a little common sense knows this, but seawater cannot be used directly for cooking because it is too salty.
"My lord, who did you think lived here in the first place?" Big Tou grabbed the rabbit and ate it.
"It should be a practitioner," Changsheng said casually, "Look at the stone bed, it was clearly carved out with sharp tools. If he was a shipwrecked shipwreck, he probably wouldn't have the patience or ability."
"That makes sense. Do you think the big crab in the sea was raised by him to look after him?" Datou asked again.
"Unlikely," Chang Sheng shook his head, "This thing is stupid and cannot be raised well."
The two of them chatted while eating, and after they finished eating, they were ready to leave.
Changsheng broke off a branch and handed it to Datou, "Take it with you. If anything happens, just break the branch. I can sense it and will rush over to meet you as soon as possible..."
