Chapter 637 Hands in the Water!
Under Zhu Feng's angry glare, Nan Yan could only sit in the shed feeling aggrieved.
Watching them busy on the riverbank.
In fact, Nan Yan also needs some time to digest their current situation and what may happen next.
After all, an emperor and a concubine were stranded on a deserted island.
This kind of thing is simply unheard of.
If I tell them, no one will believe it.
Now, she only hoped that the old grandmother was not harmed, and that those who kidnapped the servants and boatmen did not have any malicious intentions, so that they could successfully rescue the old grandmother and leave this place.
after all--
She looked at Zhu Feng who was busy on the riverbank.
Nothing can happen to him.
This supreme ruler now looked not so noble at all. He even personally went with Ye Zheng to cut down some trees on the shore, split off the branches, cut them into shapes of similar length, and then tied them together with some strong vines.
It's easy to say, but very hard to do.
They worked until almost dusk before they managed to make a raft.
During this time, they ate a little, but they didn't heat it up over a fire, and instead swallowed some cold dry food.
Zhu Feng didn't mind at all. In his words, he had lived a much harder life when he was stationed in Peking.
He just said to Nan Yan: "If we start a fire again, I'm afraid it will attract those people again."
Nan Yan was very obedient. She broke off the dry food and swallowed it raw with cold water.
Also eat a full meal.
Soon, the setting sun slowly fell onto the lake, dyeing a large area of water blood red.
I was a little scared at first glance.
Ye Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, should we rest for another night and set out again tomorrow morning?"
Zhu Feng shook his head and said, "Let's go now."
"Why?"
Zhu Feng looked around and said, "Those people came and abducted our people during the day. They might be able to torture us out, or they might guess that there are still people on the island that they haven't captured."
“…”
"So it's very likely that they will come to the island for a thorough investigation."
“…”
"It would be inappropriate for us to stay here."
Ye Zheng nodded: "That makes sense."
So, Ran Xiaoyu hid a large part of the food underground in the grass and marked it. They took some of the food and the four of them got on the raft.
As Ye Zheng used a bamboo pole to support a stone on the shore, the raft swayed away from this "Huludao".
The raft is not big.
Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu stood one in front and one behind, supported by bamboo poles. Zhu Feng and Nan Yan could only sit face to face. There was almost no other area for activities.
Nan Yan looked at Zhu Feng's face in the setting sun.
Although the setting sun was as blazing as fire, for some reason, his face looked a little pale.
Nan Yan frowned and whispered, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Zhu Feng said coldly: "What can I do?"
"Your injury—"
Nan Yan subconsciously looked at his hand, but saw him calmly put his hand to his side to block it, and said only: "Don't look at me, pay attention to your surroundings."
“…”
"If those people really come, they might run into us."
When Nan Yan heard this, she immediately looked towards the side of the raft nervously.
Zhu Feng looked at the other side. Gradually, the sun set.
Everything around became dark and unclear.
At night, thick mist rises from the lake, and in such light, it is even more difficult to see any islands around.
Not only can I not see it, I can hardly even determine its direction.
Because it is easy to deviate from the direction when sailing on the water, it is very likely that after a long journey, you will start to go in circles.
Ran Xiaoyu, who was holding a bamboo pole in front, looked at the darkness in front of him hesitantly and said softly, "Your Majesty, should we continue to move forward?"
"Wait a moment."
Zhu Feng said this, looking up at the sky.
Although there was smoke all around, the night sky was very clear and you could clearly see the stars in the sky.
He identified it for a moment, then pointed to the front right: "That way."
"That's over there—"
"Never mind."
"yes."
Nan Yan blinked and looked at Zhu Feng with a serious expression.
Although he said he had never been here before, he seemed to be not completely unfamiliar with this place.
However, just as they were slowly turning the raft and preparing to move towards the right front, suddenly, Nan Yan saw a flash of light in the thick fog.
She grabbed Zhu Feng's arm and whispered, "Your Majesty, look!"
Originally, each of them was responsible for watching one side of the raft. Hearing her words, Zhu Feng hurriedly turned his head, but at this moment, the light suddenly went out.
Zhu Feng frowned: "Hmm?"
Nan Yan's eyes suddenly widened.
"I, I saw it."
"What?"
"I see light ahead."
Ran Xiaoyu and Ye Zheng became nervous when they heard it. They frowned and looked in the direction of her finger, but there was only pitch black and mist.
Nothing.
Ye Zheng whispered, "My Lady, are you seeing things?"
"I--"
Nan Yan's brows were furrowed.
Although there was a lot of fog around her, she was definitely not mistaken.
There was really a little light in the thick fog.
But it went out very quickly!
Turning to meet Zhu Feng's solemn gaze, Nan Yan lowered her voice anxiously and said, "Your Majesty, I really saw it."
“…”
Zhu Feng was silent for a moment, then said to Ye Zheng and Ran Xiaoyu, "Stop for a moment."
“…”
The two men immediately pulled the bamboo pole out from the bottom of the water.
Their raft also stopped.
The four of them said nothing, almost holding their breath.
The mist around seemed to solidify.
The water dripping from the bottom of the bamboo pole fell on the surface of the lake, making a dripping sound and creating circles of ripples.
I don’t know how much time passed, but there was still no sound.
Ye Zheng whispered tentatively, "Your Majesty..."
"Shh!"
Zhu Feng raised his hand to stop him.
Because he saw that in the direction that Nan Yan had just pointed, the mist suddenly began to stir.
Everyone stared at that place, even Nan Yan herself tightly grasped the dagger in her arms.
In the dim light, a black shadow slowly penetrated the mist.
It appeared before their eyes.
That's a ship!
A small boat.
Nan Yan's heart almost stopped, but when the small boat continued to move towards them, they saw that there was no one on board.
There was only one lantern, extinguished, placed on the bow.
What is going on?
Nan Yan suddenly opened her eyes wide.
What she just saw should be the lights on this ship.
So, what about the people on the boat?
Just as she was staring at the front in astonishment, suddenly, there was a loud crash beside her.
When she looked down, she saw a hand suddenly stretched out from the water beside the raft and grabbed her!
