"I don't know. We don't know where the island has gone now. I hope it doesn't keep moving! Otherwise, we might never be able to go back."
As everyone sighed and talked, Lu Yuan lay on the bed thinking to himself that he had a cargo ship, but he couldn't take it out. He could only try to recover as quickly as possible.
The ship had been sailing for three days and was still adrift on the vast ocean. Everyone's daily work was to fish in the sea for a living. After all, people live off the land and water, and since they were in the ocean, catching fish was all they could do.
However, catching fish is not as easy as before. Disaster struck, and the vast ocean was severely affected. The high temperatures of the first year caused problems with the circulation of the entire ocean. Fish basically dived into the deep sea to feed, while fish in the shallow sea area have basically become extinct.
Although temperatures are rising, fish are still very rare in shallow waters. Occasionally, you might encounter a few fish trying to come up for air, but that's a matter of luck whether you catch one or not.
Lu Yuan recovered quickly under Xiao Shan's care during this period. Seeing Xiao Shan's haggard face, Lu Yuan suggested several times that she go to rest, but Xiao Shan disagreed and insisted on staying by Lu Yuan's side. This made it impossible for Lu Yuan to get the golden fruit to recover himself.
That day, Xiao Shan felt she could no longer bear it, so she took her bedding and slept next to Lu Yuan, thus giving him a chance.
He moved his body slightly. His arm was still wrapped in gauze, but Lu Yuan was already able to move his hands and feet.
So he glanced at Xiaoshan beside him and, seeing that she was sleeping soundly, boldly raised his arm.
With a slight thought, a golden fruit appeared in his palm.
Lu Yuan glanced at Xiao Shan again. She was still asleep, so he felt relieved and raised his arm, which was supported by a splint.
Lu Yuan glanced at the location and, having confirmed the direction, gently released his hand.
With a "plop," the fruit landed precisely in his mouth, but it was too big for Lu Yuan to eat in one bite.
At this moment, Xiao Shan next to her turned over and mumbled Lu Yuan's name.
Lu Yuan smiled, then opened his mouth and began to eat the fruit.
After a few bites, a warm current flowed through his entire body. Lu Yuan could clearly feel his bones slowly healing, and the swelling in the previously broken area was noticeably decreasing.
Without hesitation, Lu Yuan took out another fruit, prepared it the same way as before, and ate it.
After eating three fruits in a row, Lu Yuan lay on the bed and rested for a while before he felt that he had finally returned to normal.
Great! Let me get you something to eat now!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan exerted force with his hand, and the bandage instantly tore open. With one arm free, Lu Yuan was finally able to confidently begin removing the gauze from his body.
The bandages covered in blood were gradually removed, revealing that the previously injured area had completely healed, although the newly grown skin and flesh looked somewhat horrifying.
After getting dressed, Lu Yuan squatted down in front of Xiao Shan, looking at her sleeping face and couldn't help but smile. He gently tucked her blanket in and then quietly left the cabin.
Once on the deck, Lu Yuan saw Xiao Shan's father and Zhou Tong and a few others throwing nets down, while Xiao Shan's mother was squatting to the side with several women, mending the tattered fishing nets.
Seemingly hearing a noise from the cabin, Xiaoshan's mother looked up and saw Lu Yuan.
"Lu Yuan? You...you're better?"
Lu Yuan quickly held his hand up to his mouth.
"Shh, Xiaoshan is still sleeping, let her sleep a little longer, Mom!"
Xiao Shan's mother quickly covered her mouth and walked up to Lu Yuan, looking him up and down for a long time.
"That's incredible! You recovered so quickly!"
"Haha, maybe it's because I'm in good health! Actually, I'm almost fully recovered, but Xiaoshan just won't let me take off the bandages!"
"That's good! That's good. Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat!" As she spoke, Xiaoshan's mother wiped her hands on her apron and prepared to get Lu Yuan some food.
Lu Yuan quickly pressed her down: "Mom, I'm not hungry. You all go back and rest. I'll take care of things here!"
The noise of their conversation was overheard by Xiaoshan's father and the others. When they turned around and saw Lu Yuan, they had the same expression as Xiaoshan's mother.
Lu Yuan took the net and said with a smile, "Mom and Dad, Brother Zhou Tong and everyone else, you should go back and rest! I'll take care of things here!"
Xiao Shan's father wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled, "It's alright, I'm not tired! You've just recovered from a serious illness, you should go back and rest! I'll see if I can get some good stuff later! I'll help you recover!"
"Dad, really, it's not necessary! You should go back! You've worked so hard these past few days! Leave things here to me!"
After much earnest persuasion, Lu Yuan finally managed to convince everyone to return to the cabin.
Lu Yuan gently tossed the net into the sea, then smiled as he watched the commotion inside the cabin.
With a thought, several king crabs, Australian lobsters, tuna, and other sea fish immediately appeared in the net.
After dragging them onto the deck, Lu Yuan observed them for a while and found that everyone seemed really tired; they were all asleep.
Then, with another thought, Lu Yuan summoned a huge cargo ship at sea. This time, Lu Yuan also brought Da Huang onto the cargo ship. After all, he had explained to everyone that he had acquired an abandoned cargo ship on the way, so this explanation made sense.
However, to avoid arousing suspicion, Lu Yuan deliberately hoisted the sails and sailed several hundred meters into the distance until the cargo ship's shadow became small.
