Lu Xuan immediately took the telescope from Shen Keyin's hand and looked in the direction the girl pointed.
Through the gentle and faint afterglow of the setting sun, Lu Xuan saw a ship floating on the sea in the distance.
Because the distance was so far, apart from being certain that it was a ship, no other information could be known.
"Lu Xuan, do you think it could be our yacht?"
The first thing Shen Keyin thought of was the big yacht she was on.
"It's hard to say. Judging from the distance, it must be at least several kilometers. It's too far from the coastline."
For Lu Xuan, it would not be a big problem for him to row half a kilometer away from the coastline with only this lifeboat. However, if it exceeds one or two kilometers, then there will be considerable danger. After all, facing the unknown ocean, tiny humans can never predict what kind of risks it may bring to themselves.
"Have you seen the yacht again? Where is it? Show me quickly."
Yin Yichen was always the most curious one. She had been busy racing with Lu Xuan before, but now she was finally side by side with Lu Xuan. When she saw that the other party had made some discovery, she started clamoring for a telescope to see the yacht.
"It doesn't seem too far... Lu Xuan, I'll row over there with you."
This fearless girl was still making sarcastic remarks.
"It's too far away. If there's any weather change at sea, I'm afraid I won't have the strength to row back."
Leng Mengyao is a realist, so she naturally thought about what Lu Xuan was worried about.
"That's easy. We have a hemp rope. Tie it to the boat and the other end to a tree. That way, even if you can't row, we can pull you back together."
Yin Yichen waved her hand and responded easily.
After hearing the girl's casual words, Leng Mengyao was stunned.
Although what Yin Yichen said sounds a bit unreliable, it is still a way to protect the boat from being swept away by the waves.
"Lu Xuan, I roughly calculated the length of this hemp rope. It's probably around three or four thousand meters long, and the quality is pretty good. Maybe this method is worth a try."
For Leng Mengyao, a top student, estimating the length of a hemp rope by its cross-sectional diameter and overall volume is not a big problem at all.
When Yin Yichen expressed her idea, Leng Mengyao pondered for a moment and said it was worth a try.
"Okay, as long as the weather and wind direction allow, and I hope this yacht can get closer to the coastline, I'll row over and take a look."
Lu Xuan actually had this idea a long time ago, especially when he found this hemp rope, but this somewhat crazy attempt also required the cooperation of time and place.
The weather is clear and visibility is high; the wind at sea is light; the yacht can get closer to the coastline.
It would be best if all three of the above conditions are met, then it is the best time to go overseas.
"Almost home, almost home...I want to eat grilled fish!"
As night fell, the four of them finally crossed the cliffs and arrived at the sea in front of their home.
After a busy whole day, the four of them were now starving, especially Yin Yichen, who had been rowing for half a day. At this moment, she only wanted to reward herself with grilled fish.
"Tie up both boats. Let's go eat first. We'll have to trouble you all later. Tonight, not only do we have to move all the supplies on the boats into the cave, but we also have to tow both boats into our front yard."
After what happened in the past few days, Lu Xuan felt that his lifeboat was a bit too abrupt, not to mention that he now had another one. If it was really as Lu Yuqiang said, that someone on the island wanted to target him, then he could not leave these two treasures out in the open.
"Lu Xuan, then we have to drag him in through the original door."
These two lifeboats were not big, but not small either. Lu Xuan immediately changed the location of the entrance to his bamboo fence. The current entrance was remote and had limited width, so it was impossible to tow two boats in from here.
If he really wanted to tow the boat into his front yard, he had to reuse the original bamboo door.
"That's fine, just use that bamboo door. I've already thought about it. When I have some free time later, I'll seal off that path to the jungle!"
Lu Yuqiang's small team has now almost disintegrated, and Lu Xuan's worries about his residence being exposed have also been reduced a lot.
At the moment, Lu Xuan was more worried about what Lu Yuqiang said before his death. There were other people on the island who were eyeing him covetously. Therefore, it was necessary to hide his two precious lifeboats.
"It's a small matter, but handsome boy, you have to let me fill my stomach first. I'm starving."
After paddling for more than two hours, Yin Yichen was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back. This girl now had only one goal, which was to fill her stomach.
"Lu Xuan, then this trap pit is no longer necessary?"
Shen Keyin pointed to the trap pit that had once performed great service.
"We'll fill it out together later! Let's eat first!"
Lu Xuan waved at everyone, indicating that everyone should fill their stomachs first. After all, food is the most important thing for people, and no matter how grand the plan is, it must be put into practice after eating and drinking.
…
"It would be nice if we added some roast lamb."
Yin Yichen swallowed two skewers of grilled fish in one breath, but before she finished chewing the fish in her mouth, she started dreaming about eating grilled lamb.
"Yichen, didn't you dig a trap in the backyard? Go check it out when you have time. Maybe you've caught some wild goats."
Only Shen Keyin is so easy to fool. She actually believes that the "tadpole pool" made by Yin Yichen can catch goats.
"That's right, Keyin. I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it. I'll go check it out right now. Give me the flashlight."
As a result, Yin Yichen really got excited. She asked Lu Xuan for a flashlight and ran to the backyard to catch her goat.
"Lu Xuan, what did you see on the west side of that towering cliff?"
After Yin Yichen left, Leng Mengyao got straight to the point.
"Zhang Cong's little brother, that yellow-haired guy is dead. He's been buried just like the body we found last time. We haven't found the other man called Fatty yet..."
Lu Xuan briefly told Leng Mengyao what he had discovered.
"Ah~~ Someone died again?"
When Shen Keyin heard that someone else had died on the island, she couldn't help but shiver twice.
"Do you think it was done by a gang?"
Leng Mengyao seemed to have anticipated this, so he didn't show much surprise when he heard the news from Lu Xuan.
"The burial method was also very crude. I think it was done by a group of people. I just don't understand why this group of people were so keen on burying the bodies. Could it be that they were trying to prevent us from being infected with the plague and protect the island's ecological environment?"
Lu Xuan had been thinking about this question for a long time on the way back, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he racked his brains, so he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Is there a possibility that they are covering up something..."
"cover?"
Lu Xuan said he didn't understand what Leng Mengyao meant.
Leng Mengyao looked outside the cave with a cold expression, and added expressionlessly.
“They’re afraid…”
