If you were sailing on the ocean and suddenly a mysterious ship appeared ahead of you, empty of people, yet seemingly bearing signs of human life, wouldn't you feel terrified? Why had the ship so strangely appeared in this area? Where were the crew members? What happened to them?
The most terrifying thing is, what does the death prophecy in the logbook reveal? Is it true or false?
Su Xiaoniu, Ning Xue, Xuanxuan, and I all looked at each other. The atmosphere suddenly became silent and extremely strange. It was not until Xuanxuan's stomach made a "gurgling" sound that this strange atmosphere was broken.
"Here is a bunch of keys that should be able to open the cabin door of this ship. Let's go and see if there is any food on this ship." Su Xiaoniu took out a bunch of keys from the drawer of the captain's room and threw it to me, then walked out first.
We nodded and followed her out of the captain's cabin. Just as Su Xiaoniu had expected, the keys she'd taken from the captain's cabin drawer could unlock every cabin door on the ship! This discovery was truly astonishing. However, the food storage compartments on the ship were covered in cobwebs, filled with a vast amount of rotten or dried-out food, and a foul odor filled the air.
We covered our noses and searched the storage cabin for a while, but couldn't find any edible food. Even if there was any, it was probably 70 or 80 years old. How could it still be eaten? Instead, the stench kept wafting into our nostrils. In the end, we had no choice but to retreat.
"What should I do? We have no food, and we don't know where this boat will drift to. We might starve to death before it even reaches shore," Xuanxuan said weakly, clutching her stomach as she squatted on the ground. She had come here with a ton of bags, including magical instruments and tools, as well as plenty of delicious food. But now, she was empty-handed, with only the bag she carried around her waist. And that bag was filled with exorcism tools, no food. She was truly devastated.
Ning Xue had only two guns on her body, nothing else. Moreover, these two guns were soaked in water and might not be usable.
I'll leave Su Xiaoniu aside, my backpack is also filled with tools for exorcising demons and slaying demons. Oh, right! When I came to Hebei, I had plenty of room in my backpack, so I stuffed some bread, mineral water, and other things inside. I quickly took off my backpack. I've been replacing this backpack with a water-repellent charm every few days, so no matter how hard I sail across the ocean, even if I get soaked, the backpack remains perfectly fine.
I took out two loaves of bread and a bottle of mineral water from my bag and gave them to Xuanxuan. Xuanxuan was overjoyed when she saw them. She had been starving for a long time and started to eat the bread, saying, "Brother Xu Fei, you are really my timely help!"
I smiled and took out some more bread for Ning Xue. She must be hungry too. After they had eaten to their satisfaction, I rummaged through my backpack again and found that only a few rice dumplings were left that I had bought for Su Xiaoniu on our trip to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. I glanced at Su Xiaoniu, but she said calmly, "I'm a ghost. I won't be hungry. You eat it."
She was right. Ghosts really don't get hungry. It's just that Su Xiaoniu is a special ghost. She likes to eat food from the living world! But in this critical moment, she generously gave me her favorite food.
We ate while we inspected the ship. Ning Xue and Xuan Xuan checked every cabin, while Su Xiaoniu and I returned to the deck and searched between the bow and stern. But after a long time, we didn't find anything useful.
Looking at the sky, it should be afternoon, but the fog on the surface of the Yellow River is still so thick that you can't see clearly what is nearby.
"I don't know how long we'll be drifting on this boat. The food is almost gone. We can't starve, can we?" I muttered. "We can go fishing." Su Xiaoniu suddenly laughed.
I smiled bitterly and said, "The fishing net is full of holes, how can I catch anything?"
"There are fishing rods and hooks on the boat, we can go fishing." Su Xiaoniu said excitedly, seeming to be very interested in fishing.
I immediately went with her to the food storage cabin. In this cabin, there was food that had been dried for many years and it was very smelly. There were also many insects that looked like flies and mosquitoes gathered there. We used these insects as bait.
Not long after, he really caught several big Yellow River carp, some Yellow River knife fish that were very expensive in the market, and some small miscellaneous fish.
Good harvest!
We took the fish to the kitchen. Surprisingly, there was still fuel in the stove's reservoir, so we found matches. Soon, the fish were cooked.
"I have never eaten such delicious fish!" Su Xiaoniu said while eating.
"Me too! Me too!" Xuanxuan laughed excitedly.
Ning Xue took a sip and nodded gently, "It tastes quite good. I didn't expect to be able to taste such delicious food in such a harsh environment."
Indeed, the fish were excellent, so while we had time, we all gathered at the bow of the boat to fish. No matter where the boat might drift, the first thing we needed to ensure was adequate food.
At night, we gathered around the bow to fish. This ship wasn't like those luxury cruise ships with nightlife, and since we couldn't sleep so early, we were bored and decided to go fishing together.
However, as I was fishing, my rod suddenly sank. I was overjoyed. A big fish had taken the bait! If I could catch this big fish, I'd have enough to eat for days! I tried my best to control the rod, slowly weaving around the river. It was a bit dark, and although the fog had thinned, the river surface was still hazy.
However, after fishing for most of the day, I already had some experience in fishing. I felt that the time was almost right, so I pulled the fishing rod up suddenly, and there was a splash of water. Then, we all widened our eyes.
