Chapter 250 Father's Notes
After a long time, the speedboat floated up from the sea, and Ning Yu brought Chu Qi out of the sea.
"Ning Xuan, Ruanruan, Dahei!" Chu Qi shouted anxiously.
Not long after, Ning Xuan and Chu Ruanruan swam out from under the speedboat.
Dahei also swam towards them using his fast doggy paddle style.
"Sister, brother, are you okay?" Chu Runrun asked hurriedly.
"It's okay! Go up quickly!"
Dahei first climbed up the speedboat, then bit Chu Ruanruan's sleeve and pulled her up.
Soon, the four people and the dog returned to the speedboat.
Ning Yu and Ning Xuan hurriedly tried to restart the speedboat.
"The speedboat is still usable!" Ning Yu said thankfully.
Ning Xuan looked around. They had no idea where they had been carried away by the waves. The entire lake seemed to have become unfamiliar, with no end in sight.
The compass on the speedboat was broken, and they had no idea where to go.
"We now have two choices. The first is to wait here, maybe there will be a passing ship. The second is to drive in any direction, maybe we can find the shore." Ning Yu said.
Chu Runrun looked around. The rainstorm was still going on. They had not escaped from the vortex yet. It was unrealistic to wait there.
Chu Ruanruan looked at Chu Qi and said, "Sister, did Grandpa teach you the Tongxin Gua?"
Chu Qi nodded, then formed seals with her hands:
"The heart of blood is connected by the same spirit. By judging good and bad luck, we can find a way to survive!"
Chu Runrun bit her fingertip and smeared blood on the formation drawn by Chu Qi. The blood-red lines made the formation clearer.
After a moment, a red light appeared in the middle of the formation, facing their left side.
"Brother, follow the direction indicated by the red light!" Chu Runrun said.
"good!"
Ning Yu immediately started the speedboat and sped along following the red light.
About half an hour later, an island appeared in front of us, and the speedboat was about to run out of fuel.
Only then did Chu Ruanruan and Chu Qi calm down.
Ning Yu stopped the speedboat at the beach and tied it to a big rock with a rope. After making sure that it would not be swept away by the waves, he signaled others to get off.
The rain had subsided by then, but all four of them were soaked through and needed to find a place to make a fire and dry themselves off as quickly as possible.
Chu Ruanruan took out the paper man from her bag and let it go in to explore the way.
"Ruanruan, your bag is really good. We are all soaked, but the talisman paper inside is actually fine!" Chu Qi said with a smile.
"This is a waterproof bag I specially customized to prevent water from entering it!" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
Soon, the paper man came back.
"The paper man said there is a bamboo house ahead, it's very safe, let's go there quickly!" Chu Runrun said.
"good!"
Four people and a dog trotted all the way to the bamboo house in the rain, carrying banana leaves on their backs.
The bamboo house was very old and dusty inside, but fortunately it didn't leak.
There was a table and a bed in the room, as if someone had lived there before.
"There are bamboo houses on this island, which means we are not far from the shore!" Chu Qi said.
"No matter how far away, it's useless if the cell phone has no signal!" Chu Ruanruan took out the only cell phone they could use now from her waterproof bag.
"Why is there no signal here?"
Ning Xuan took Chu Ruanruan's phone and held it up high. He found that when he held it up high, the signal suddenly appeared for a while, but then disappeared.
"Logically, we're not that far from the shore. Something must be affecting the cell phone signal here!"
Ning Xuan looked around with his cell phone, but the weak signal never appeared again.
"Don't worry about the signal for now, just dry your clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold later!"
As he spoke, Chu Qi dug out an old stove and a few pieces of charcoal from the corner of the bamboo house, lit them with a fire talisman, and put his clothes on it to dry.
Dahei shook his fur at the door, then lay down by the stove and licked his paws.
"Brother, we came out in Ling Feixue's speedboat. If she finds out we are missing, she will definitely send someone to look for us." Chu Ruanruan said.
Ning Xuan then put down his phone, wrung out Chu Ruanruan's coat and put it on the stove to dry.
Chu Ruanruan held her chin in her hand and looked at the fire in the stove with a depressed look and sighed:
"Why is it that every time I come out, nothing good happens?"
Chu Qi chuckled when he heard this: "Didn't Grandpa say that you have a special fate? Maybe this is the special method!"
Chu Runrun sighed helplessly. Her life was destined to be full of disasters!
The rain soon stopped, the four people's clothes dried, and the sky gradually darkened.
Chu Ruanruan's stomach growled uncontrollably.
Dahei immediately looked up at Chu Ruanruan, then walked to the bed in the bamboo house and dragged out a large box from under the bed.
"Master, here...food!"
Chu Ruanruan and the others hurried over, opened the box, and saw a box of compressed biscuits, bacon and rice.
“There’s so much food here!”
Chu Ruanruan took out a knife and cut open the skin of the bacon. She found that except for the moldy and spoiled outside, the meat inside was still good.
The compressed biscuits and rice were also sealed intact and had not deteriorated.
"This box looks like it was sent ten years ago. I didn't expect there is still edible food here after ten years!" Ning Yu said in surprise.
"Maybe it was left behind by someone conducting marine research. As long as it's not poisonous, it should be edible!"
Chu Ruanruan tore open a bag of compressed biscuits and handed it to Ning Xuan after making sure it was fine.
Ning Yu looked around, then picked up a dusty pot and took the rice and bacon over.
"The conditions here are limited, so I'll make you some bacon porridge!" Ning Yu said with a smile.
The food was taken out, but there was no space under the box, as if there was a notebook there.
“There’s even a notebook!”
Chu Runrun took out the notebook and was about to open it when Chu Qi snatched it away.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Chu Runrun asked in confusion.
Chu Qi stared at the notebook with wide eyes in surprise, then quickly opened it.
A photo fell down and Chu Ruanruan picked it up.
When she saw the person above, Chu Ruanruan was also shocked.
"He...they are..."
"Dad, Mom!" Chu Qi murmured in surprise.
The man and woman in the photo are Chu Shisan and Jian Ling who have disappeared for a long time.
Unlike them in Chu Qi's photo, they looked older in this one, with the gray hairs clearly visible.
Chu Qi quickly opened the notebook. Just like the one she had seen when she was a child, the notebook contained her father's research on physiognomy formulas.
The notebook was only half filled when she saw it, and now it is almost finished.
Chu Qi turned to the last page of the notebook. It did not contain research results, but a letter written to them by their father.
"Xiaoqi, Ruanruan, I believe the gears of fate will bring you here one day. This notebook contains a lot of secret information. Please be sure to keep it safe. Mom and Dad will always love you!"
