Chapter 212 Drifting
Chen Shiyi felt as if the world was spinning around him, and his whole body seemed to have been hit by wood, leaving him weak and in pain.
Bo Yuan untied the rope for himself and then helped to untie Chen Shiyi's rope.
Chen Shiyi sat down paralyzed, his legs no longer feeling anything.
She wants to have a good sleep now.
In the strong wind and huge waves, the bedding flew away to who knows where. Bo Yuan gave up the idea of looking for it, and took out a new one from under the bed box. Then he tidied up the messy bed, made it neat and flat, and helped Chen Shiyi to rest.
On the boundless sea surface, only Yu Jingzhou was sailing forward against the wind and waves, as small as a drop in the ocean.
Day after day, they had been sailing on the sea for eighteen days.
After two violent storms, several bags of fresh water were broken. Together with the water we had used recently, there was only enough water for three days.
Everyone on the boat got some of it equally, and some crew members even started drinking sea water.
Chen Shiyi also tried to drink sea water, which was bitter and astringent. When he swallowed it, his entire throat was filled with an indescribable fishy smell. At this time, he wanted to drink fresh water to dilute the discomfort in his throat and abdomen.
Later, she would rather be thirsty than try to drink sea water.
Seeing that she was thirsty, Bo Yuan couldn't bear it, so he secretly saved his own water and gave it to her.
"No, Boyuan, drink it yourself. I can handle it."
Bo Yuan looked at the cracked corners of her lips, his eyes filled with sadness.
"Boss, don't worry, Bo Yuan will protect you until his death."
Chen Shiyi hit him hard.
"Don't say that again. Don't give your life to others casually. Isn't your life your own? If I hear you talking nonsense again, don't follow me anymore."
Bo Yuan's eyes were determined, and he was about to refute when he heard Chen Shiyi speak again.
"Let's stop talking. Talking too much makes our mouths dry and wastes water."
Everyone on the boat was sick and no one wanted to talk.
The tiny amount of fresh water was saved again and again, but finally ran out two days ago.
Fu Da lowered his head and chuckled helplessly.
"I never thought that with all my kung fu skills, I would be able to roam freely in the martial arts world, and I would die in a blaze of glory and in a worthy death. Who could have thought that in the end, I would die of thirst."
Chen Shiyi also laughed, but his dry throat hurt whenever he spoke.
Master Xu Zhou stood on the bow of the deck, watching the sun and the celestial phenomena.
He spoke to Chen Shiyi who was standing behind him.
"Boss, hold on a little longer. If I'm not mistaken, there will be a heavy rain in the evening."
When Chen Shiyi heard this, it was like a long-awaited rain. The storm that she feared the most now became her only hope of survival.
Master Xu Zhou was indeed experienced, and the storm arrived as expected.
The crew carried water bags and filled them on the bumpy deck of the ship. Chen Shiyi used all his porcelain cups, teapots, and kettles, anything he could find, to fill with water.
She opened her mouth, stood on the deck and caught the water, letting the heavy rain soak her all over. The feeling of being soaked in the rain was so wonderful, like a fish meeting water, and her life was saved.
The water problem was temporarily solved, but food was in short supply again.
But this is not a big problem. Most people here are good at swimming and most of them are experts at fishing, so they will not starve to death anyway.
Chen Shiyi used to love eating fish, but now he feels like vomiting when he sees fish.
Fu Da’s greatest pleasure was to catch all kinds of different fish, and then use his skilled knife skills to fillet the fish into slices as transparent as cicada wings, make them into sashimi, and give them to Chen Shiyi to eat.
At first, Chen Shiyi thought it was fresh and was willing to have a few bites. Later, whenever she saw Fu Da happily showing off the fish to her, she would lock herself in the cabin and wait until they finished eating the fish before going out.
At this moment, she really wanted to eat some fresh green vegetables or take a bite of some juicy fruit.
Forget it, let’s not think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel.
After drifting like this for a few days, a golden-rimmed morning glow emerged from the horizon and a burst of fierce shouting suddenly rang out on the deck.
Chen Shiyi was woken up.
The people outside were shouting louder and louder.
"Master Xu, there are reefs ahead. We must reef the sails and stop the ship."
"Quick, prepare to stop the boat."
After the boat came to a stop, Chen Shiyi dragged his tired body to the deck.
Looking forward from the bow, there is a bulge where the sea and the sky meet, but it is unclear what it is.
Master Xu Zhou was overjoyed when he saw this.
"Boss, that's a piece of land."
Chen Shiyi was so surprised that she didn't care about the pain in her body and wanted to go ashore immediately to see what place was.
They lowered two small boats, and Chen Shiyi, along with Fu Da, Yue Zhi, and Master Xu Zhou, along with a few strong men, rowed the boats toward the unknown land.
The boat was surging on the blue sea, moving forward at a very fast speed. Before long, the land was getting closer and closer.
This is a very long coastline.
Chen Shiyi got off the boat, and the moment her embroidered shoes stepped onto the beach, she burst into tears.
After sailing on the sea for thirty-nine days, we finally saw the long-lost land.
Her shoes dug into the golden sand. The solid feeling of stepping on the ground made her heart wander in peace. The trees beside the beach were scattered in disorder, lush and green. Her dull eyes seemed to be stained with light, and she wished she could take a few bites of them.
Everyone looked around to see if they could find anything useful, but they didn't dare to go far, so they could only walk around the neighborhood.
Chen Shiyi discovered that there were several tall trees with many fruits growing on them.
Master Xu Zhou told her that it was coconut flakes and the juice inside was drinkable.
Fu Da looked at Chen Shiyi and his saliva almost fell to the ground when he mentioned food.
He drew out his sword and swung it towards the tree. Green coconuts fell down one by one.
Fu Da used a dagger to pry open a hole in the coconut. Chen Shiyi sat on the ground without any image, holding the coconut and drinking the white juice slowly.
The sweet juice slid into her throat, and the pores on her body opened comfortably. The moisture penetrated into every part of her skin, and the dryness was gradually replaced by comfort.
She wiped her mouth, as if she was not yet satisfied.
"Fu Da, make a few more. Bo Yuan will definitely like it."
Fu Da laughed softly.
"I see you like drinking, don't you?"
Chen Shiyi chuckled a few times.
Master Xu Zhou, who was not far away, hurriedly called Chen Shiyi over.
"Boss, look."
Chen Shiyi looked down and saw human footprints.
This footprint is quite deep, and the pit made by the mud and sand is filled with clear water.
Chen Shiyi was very surprised.
"There's someone haunting this place."
Master Xu Zhou nodded, but his expression was very solemn.
“Some people are naturally good, but people can also be divided into good and bad.”
