Chapter 46: Eager to Return

Lin Baixian was very active, and took the lead in circling the old ship, looking left and right, with more and more surprise on his face:

"I checked it, and it seems that there is no obvious damage!"

Liang Ziqiang managed to hold back from kicking him: "Yes, you also checked the boat of your second uncle's family!"

He brewed it, it would be fine if you didn't check it. As soon as you checked it, I was terrified.

When Lin Baixian's stains were pointed out, he felt a little ashamed and took the initiative to step aside, which was considered as giving way to someone else.

Liang Ziqiang looked carefully from the bow to the stern and from outside to inside the boat.

Including the diesel engine inside, there seems to be no obvious missing parts at the moment.

Then check the rudder blade under the stern to see if it is loose and also check its size.

From visual inspection, the rudder blade is a bit small and may not be able to connect to the rudder of the faulty ship.

There was a wrench left on the ship, and he used the wrench to reinforce all the parts of the ship that needed reinforcement.

After finishing all this, the two of them drank all the coconut juice in the coconut.

Liang Ziqiang climbed up the tree again and picked more than a dozen coconuts in one go, planning to drink from them whenever he was thirsty.

Anyway, he chose fresh, unripe green coconuts, which can still be stored for quite a few days.

After replenishing water, the whole person's condition improved a lot. Even Lin Baixian's forehead was obviously cooling down.

Next we need to try getting the old boat out to the sea.

But the oil in the old ship's diesel engine had obviously run out, so Liang Ziqiang had to run over the slope again to get diesel from the other side.

Maybe it was because I was in a good mood and my steps were lighter, or maybe it was because I replenished the coconut water with electrolytes, but this time when I crossed the slope, I was no longer as breathless and in danger as when I came here.

He returned to the other side of the beach and headed straight for the broken boat. This time, he was really glad that he had brought half a bottle of diesel from home before setting off.

He used that bottle of diesel to fill up the boat before going out to sea, and even then, there was still nearly half a bottle left in the bottle.

Liang Ziqiang picked up the half bottle of diesel and decided to use it to try out the old boat first.

Returning to the old boat, he added half a bottle of oil into it.

Then, the two men began to push the boat together, trying to push the old boat from the beach into the sea little by little.

The boat ran aground on its own, so it was completely parked on Silver Beach, a little distance from the sea surface.

Apparently, it was carried to the beach by the tide during high tide and then ran aground.

It was precisely because of this that no collision occurred and no obvious damage was caused. This may be the most fortunate thing for Liang Ziqiang.

Lin Baixian tried his best, baring his teeth, trying his best to shine and show some sense of participation.

However, he was originally thin and his strength had just begun to recover, so his actual role was limited to a sense of participation.

Fortunately, the sand on the beach is fine, with less resistance, so it is relatively slippery to push.

The two men finally pushed the boat slowly into the shallow water.

At the beginning, we certainly didn't dare to sail into the deep sea, so we circled the small island and circled around for a few times, mainly to see whether the machines on the ship could work properly and whether there were any leaks in the hull.

If there is a problem, nothing will happen because the water is shallow here.

After wandering around for a while, Liang Ziqiang was pleasantly surprised to find that the boat was still able to operate normally, with no problems in moving or controlling its course, and there was no obvious leakage.

After being surprised, Liang Ziqiang thought about it carefully and felt that it was easy to understand.

After all, this old ship is seriously aged overall and has undergone repeated repairs, and is in a state where it should be scrapped.

However, when he let it go, the boat was able to function normally.

In the previous life, my father and two brothers eventually died while riding on it, mainly because of a sudden storm that exceeded the old ship's ability to withstand.

If the sea is calm and the boat is sailing normally, the old boat can still be used.

He had to secretly let the old boat go just to prevent his father and brother from going out to sea to fish and causing tragedy, not because the old boat was no longer able to operate.

Now it seems that after he let the old ship go that night, it must not have encountered any wind or waves along the way, so it was not damaged after being brought here by the ocean current.

While thinking about all this, Liang Ziqiang steered the steering wheel and eventually steered the old boat to the other side of the island, where the faulty ship was anchored.

They moored next to the broken-down boat. Only then did Lin Baixian dare to believe that they seemed to be really saved.

That face, which had always been so frivolous, suddenly became solemn.

With a somewhat pious look, he said to Liang Ziqiang:

"Aqiang, from now on, I may have to believe that God really exists.

A few days ago, I thought it was a thief who stole your boat, but now I suddenly realized that it was God! God must have let the boat go in advance, just to save us today and give us a chance to survive!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Liang Ziqiang: "..."

He was caught off guard and became "God". He found that this was another new honor for him after being awarded the titles of "thief bone", "brewed by him", "son of a bitch", and "watching his wife unable to move".

But this honor made him feel extremely honored.

But for some reason, Lin Baixian's words really made Liang Ziqiang feel a sense of mystery and awe.

If he thought about it carefully, if he hadn't let the old boat go that night, there was no doubt that the old boat would have been taken out to sea by his father and eldest brother to fish.

If he didn't have a boat to go to Fox Bay Island, he would still borrow the boat from his second uncle's family from Lin Baixian and drift to this nameless wild island. This would never change.

The only thing that has changed is that the old boat is in my father's hands and it is impossible for it to be here.

If that happens, my life will definitely end on this island.

So who can say for sure whether there really was an invisible hand in the dark that led him to let the old boat run away, and then led him to stubbornly climb over the slope and find the old boat on the other side of the island?

After getting off the boat, Lin Baixian was a little excited and suggested: "Why don't we just kowtow to thank God for saving our lives!"

Liang Ziqiang did not refute this time. He thought for a while and said:

"In fact, we should thank Mazu. Perhaps Mazu is kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see us die on this island, so she sent the boat to the beach nearby."

Lin Baixian immediately felt that this made a lot of sense: "Yes, yes, thank you Mazu for saving us!"

They both knelt down on the beach. Liang Ziqiang looked a little more pious as he kowtowed to the sea and said, "Thank you Mazu for your kindness in saving us and sending us a boat and so many life-saving coconuts!"

After thanking Mazu, the two immediately discussed returning to the village.

After being trapped in this forgotten corner for four whole days, the two were already eager to go home and did not want to stay any longer.

However, just because you expect to set off immediately doesn't mean you can actually set off immediately.

The choice of departure time, necessary preparations, and many details all need to be carefully considered and deliberated in advance.

There was finally a glimmer of hope, and Liang Ziqiang didn't want to let this precious chance of survival go to waste!
