Hearing Leng Mengyao's words, Lu Xuan froze on the spot.
Now I am almost 100% sure: it seems that I was not dreaming yesterday.
"Like you, I also heard the noise. It seemed to come from the sea. Unfortunately, I was half asleep at the time."
"Now that you put it that way, I can finally be sure that I didn't hear it in a dream."
Leng Mengyao smiled and shrugged at Lu Xuan. It was obvious that before getting Lu Xuan's answer, the girl was not sure whether the voice she heard was real or imaginary.
"Do you think that could be a ship?"
Lu Xuan went straight to the point and directly stated his biggest question.
"I feel a bit like it. At least it shouldn't be a sound from nature. It sounds a lot like the sound of a motor..."
Leng Mengyao pursed her lips and lowered her head, as if trying hard to recall something.
"Meng Yao, Lu Xuan, are you sure it's just the two of you going?"
It seemed that because Lu Xuan and Leng Mengyao had not returned to the cave for a long time, Shen Keyin and Yin Yichen ran out of the cave. Both of them looked at Lu Xuan with expectant eyes.
"Yeah, you two just stay in the cave and don't go anywhere, you hear me? We'll be back before dark."
Lu Xuan bluntly rejected their idea of going out together.
What's more, if the noise Leng Mengyao and I heard last night was really a boat...
Lu Xuan didn't dare to think any further, but repeatedly told the two girls to stay at home.
Yin Yichen was the most caring person and promised Lu Xuan with a pat on her chest that she would take good care of his woman. However, when they were parting, Chen Keyin asked Lu Xuan a question that was difficult to answer but extremely realistic.
"If you guys don't come back after dark, what should we do?"
Lu Xuan and Leng Mengyao looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
"Don't worry, I promise we will come back. You know that place. After passing that cliff, there is not much road left."
In the end, it was Lu Xuan who comforted Shen Keyin with a few words. Of course, anyone who understood would understand that these words were just comfort.
On this deserted island, every day is full of unknowns and no one can guarantee anything.
"Okay, let's go. I've taken the ignition device with me, and I've also taught you how to ignite the generator. Remember, stay in the cave and don't go anywhere..."
After repeated instructions, Lu Xuan took Leng Mengyao and rowed the lifeboat towards the west.
Lu Xuan brought a lot of things this time, including food and drinks, as well as some common self-defense weapons and tools. The most special thing was that Lu Xuan brought a shovel and a wheelbarrow this time, so that he could be more efficient when digging and transporting Impatiens.
"Have you ever walked across this sea?"
Leng Mengyao was a little surprised to see Lu Xuan heading straight towards the cliff without any hesitation.
"Yes, I took Shen Keyin back and forth twice, and I also met Zhang Cong and Yang Yaqi there."
While Lu Xuan continued rowing, he described the scene in detail to Leng Mengyao.
"I actually know a little bit about Yang Yaqi, but I didn't expect you to be his boyfriend..."
Hearing about Yang Yaqi, Leng Mengyao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"No, no, no, don't get it wrong. It's my ex-girlfriend. We broke up two weeks ago. No, it should be three weeks ago."
Lu Xuan didn't want others to categorize him and that woman as the same type of person, so he immediately distanced himself from Yang Yaqi.
"Why didn't you take her in, but agreed to let Yin Yichen and me stay?"
Leng Mengyao rowed the boat according to Lu Xuan's instructions while continuing to chat with Lu Xuan.
"I'm testing you. I'm not a pushover. If you don't pass the probation period, I'll definitely kick you out. But it seems like both you and Yin Yichen are valuable to the team. I don't want anyone on my team just sitting around doing nothing."
Lu Xuan had no qualms about answering the question raised by Leng Mengyao. This was what he had always thought and done.
Powerful women like Yang Yaqi always put their own interests first. If such people stay around, they will only be a black sheep and will do more harm than good to the team.
"Okay, we have to be careful here. Hold on tight. There are a lot of reefs here. Let's row as far out to sea as possible. Once we get around this cliff, we'll see a ship."
As the two of them were chatting, they were almost approaching the outermost edge of the cliff. Lu Xuan decisively turned off the chatting mode and switched to the mode of fully controlling the boat.
Fortunately, with the help of the east wind, the two of them did not encounter much resistance and successfully crossed the cliff.
After crossing the cliff, what comes into view is the endless beach, and of course the stranded broken ship with a pole stuck across it.
"You've already boarded and surveyed this ship twice?"
When rowing past the stranded ship, Leng Mengyao looked at the ship for a long time.
"Yes, I've been up there twice. Today we had a smooth journey, and it's still early. If you're interested, you can go up and take another look. However, the slope is quite steep, are your legs up to it?"
Seeing Leng Mengyao behind him looking at the broken ship with hope on his face, Lu Xuan looked up at the position of the sun and stopped the boat about ten meters in front of the ship.
"I'm fine. I'll go up and take a look."
Leng Mengyao actually jumped off the boat and ran towards the stranded ship excitedly.
Lu Xuan looked around and found no signs that anyone had been here. However, in order to ensure absolute safety, Lu Xuan took the brunt of the situation and climbed onto the side of the ship first. After careful inspection and confirmation that it was safe, he pulled Leng Mengyao up.
"I'll be guarding here. You can go in. Don't force yourself. Don't force yourself if you can't climb up. Also, I'll give you at most one stick of incense."
Since there was plenty of time, Lu Xuan just considered it as satisfying Leng Mengyao's curiosity.
What's more, Lu Xuan also had a little bit of thoughts in mind. It is said that women are more meticulous than men. Although he has already conducted two rounds of surveys, there is no guarantee that President Leng will make some new discoveries.
Standing on the side of the boat, Lu Xuan drank the homemade bottled water he brought with him while standing on tiptoe and looking into the distance.
The weather is very good today and the visibility is quite high. Unfortunately, my eyesight is limited. If I want to see farther places clearly, it may not be possible with human vision. Lu Xuan really wants to get a telescope.
Just as Lu Xuan was standing on the side of the boat looking around, Leng Mengyao, who was rummaging through the boxes and cabinets on the side of the boat, suddenly shouted.
"Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan, come quickly, there is a secret door here..."
Secret door?
Hearing Leng Mengyao's words, Lu Xuan was also stunned. No way, could it be that this girl really found a treasure?
