Seeing that the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, and that Wang Li's side clearly had the advantage in numbers, Lin Weiguo turned to Jiang Wanwan and asked for her opinion with his eyes whether they should intervene.
Jiang Wanwan nodded and said, "Go easy on me!"
So Lin Weiguo roared and joined in. Although he held back, every attack was accurate and instantly scattered Wang Li's men.
In no time, Wang Li's men were thrown to the ground like rag dolls, some even flying away.
Seeing that things were going badly, Wang Li quickly uttered a harsh threat: "You...you just wait!" Then he led his group of defeated soldiers away in a sorry state.
Jiang Wanwan looked at Jiang Shaojie curiously and asked, "You're Jiang Shaojie?"
Jiang Shaojie said gratefully, "Thank you for your help just now, brother. But how did you know my name?"
Jiang Wanwan smiled and explained, "I know your younger brother, Jiang Qinian. He told me that you have been missing for half a year. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Jiang Shaojie nodded, seemingly understanding the reason. Then, he briefly recounted his experiences over the past six months, but made no mention of his involvement in tracking spies.
Suddenly, as if remembering something important, he quickly asked, "How did you get to this deserted island? Did you have a boat?"
When Jiang Wanwan heard him mention the mermaid Xi, she understood the whole story. She said calmly, "There is no boat! However, I reported the location of this place to our government before I came, and I believe a rescue team will arrive soon."
The four people standing around Jiang Shaojie cheered immediately upon hearing that a rescue team had arrived.
"Great! I'll go tell everyone this good news right away!"
One of the young men, wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and sporting a messy hairstyle, finished speaking to the crowd and then limped away.
Jiang Shaojie visibly relaxed and then warmly invited Jiang Wanwan and the other woman to rest in their makeshift shelter.
Jiang Wanwan and her companion readily agreed, planning to leave the deserted island with the rescue team.
Soon, they arrived at the place Jiang Shaojie had mentioned.
The terrain here is flat, with rows of triangular wooden houses standing upright. Each house has a large waterproof leaf on top, and there are drainage ditches around the houses.
The way this shelter was built is very professional!
When Jiang Wanwan and her group arrived, the open space was already surrounded by people, all talking at once.
Seeing Jiang Shaojie bring two strangers over, everyone cast curious glances their way.
"This is Miss Jiang Wanwan and Mr. Lin Weiguo. Wang Li suffered a great loss this time, and it was thanks to Mr. Lin's help that they were able to recover!"
Jiang Shaojie introduced himself to everyone.
Everyone applauded to express their gratitude.
Lin Weiguo quickly waved his hand, saying he was welcome, and then retreated tactically.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman wearing a grass skirt came out and looked at Jiang Wanwan with sincere eyes, asking, "Xiao Liu just said that a rescue team will come to rescue us!"
It turns out that the young man who limped off to inform everyone was called Xiao Liu.
Everyone was very excited and thrilled when they heard that a rescue team was coming. But after the initial excitement, they worried that it might all be just a dream.
"That's right!" Jiang Wanwan nodded in response.
Upon hearing this, everyone excitedly circled around Jiang Wanwan and her companion, some even with reddened eyes, unable to hold back their tears.
Jiang Wanwan and Lin Weiguo were infected by this atmosphere and their mood became relaxed and cheerful.
For the rest of the time, Jiang Wanwan and Lin Weiguo listened quietly to the stories of the survivors.
These people come from different places, and each of them has a different story and life.
However, they all came together here because of this unexpected event, facing an unknown fate together.
As time went by, the sun gradually sank in the west, and night fell.
Jiang Wanwan and Lin Weiguo decided to spend the night on the island and wait for the rescue team to arrive the next day.
Jiang Shaojie and the others also returned to their shelters to rest.
The island is exceptionally quiet at night, with only the sound of waves lapping against the shore.
Jiang Wanwan sat on the rocks by the sea, gazing at the starry sky, feeling the beauty of nature, and meditating to cultivate herself.
Finally, dawn broke, and Jiang Wanwan's cultivation level had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
Jiang Shaojie woke up before dawn. Although he had gone to bed late the night before, he was especially excited because today was the day he was going home.
After a quick wash, Jiang Shaojie began packing his luggage.
Then, they helped each other pack their belongings and discussed plans for the future with the other survivors.
As the sun gradually rose and its rays shone on the sea, Jiang Shaojie suddenly heard someone shout, "Look over there!"
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see a large ship slowly sailing towards the island in the distance.
As the ship drew closer, the survivors cheered, some even weeping with joy.
They couldn't wait to rush down the hillside and head towards the sea.
Jiang Shaojie was also trembling with excitement. He hugged Lin Weiguo tightly, his heart filled with joy and gratitude.
Finally, we can leave this deserted island!
When the ship docked, the survivors boarded it.
They shook hands and hugged the crew members, thanking them for their rescue.
Jiang Wanwan and Lin Weiguo sat at the bow of the boat, feeling the sea breeze, which was a truly novel experience.
As the ship set sail, the survivors looked back at the deserted island that was gradually receding into the distance.
They were filled with mixed emotions; this place had once been their nightmare, but it was also their place of hope for survival.
Jiang Shaojie watched quietly as the deserted island gradually disappeared from sight, and began to review his mission for this trip.
Just then, Jiang Shaojie suddenly remembered something; he felt like he had forgotten something.
When he saw Wang Li and his group of people on the distant shore, raising their hands and shouting.
Oh! I remember now, there are two other groups of people on this island!
"Brother Shaojie, Wang Li and Skinny Monkey's groups haven't boarded the ship yet!"
Xiao Liu, panting, ran from the cabin to Jiang Shaojie's side and reminded him.
"Oh! The boat can't hold that many people. Tell the captain that another boat will come to pick them up!"
In reality, only one ship was dispatched, since the official prediction was that these people had a very low chance of survival and that not many would actually survive.
Jiang Shaojie thought that Wang Li and the skinny monkey gang had committed many evil deeds on the island and did nothing but wicked things, so he decided to let them wait for now!
When the ship reached China, Jiang Wanwan and Lin Weiguo waved goodbye to Jiang Shaojie and his group.
Jiang Wanwan smiled and said to Jiang Shaojie, "Jiang Qinian is in Yangjia Village right now. If you have time, you can go there to find him. You are welcome to visit Yangjia Village."
After speaking, Jiang Wanwan and Lin Weiguo turned and left, leaving Jiang Shaojie and the others deep in thought.
They watched Jiang Wanwan's departing figure silently, their hearts filled with emotion.
