One kilometer away, Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengan took a walk and were about to return.
They went out on patrol whenever they had time these days, but they did not find any land like the one below their camp.
"We are so lucky to have found that unique piece of land. We will have good luck in the future," Shao Shengan said with a smile.
In this era, it seems a good idea to be superstitious. Qiao Qingqing also smiled: "We will all have good luck."
The two of them paddled back slowly, but suddenly they heard a cry for help. Qiao Qingqing looked back and saw someone paddling a raft quickly towards them. Behind the raft there was a group of people swimming desperately, and above them was a fast-moving triangular fin. Although there was only one, it was chasing them and making them exhausted.
It can be seen that these people have experienced a fierce battle before.
"Let's go over there!" The camp was one kilometer away. If they ignored the shark, its next target might be their camp. Qiao Qingqing decided to deal with it first.
Shao Shengan had no objection to this, and the two of them turned around and headed towards the shark.
“Help!”
"There's a shark!"
The people on the raft saw them calling for help in hoarse voices.
Some people also waved their hands: "Go! It's a shark!"
The couple did not respond and continued to move forward. The raft passed by them and the shark was within the best shooting range.
The kayak stopped, Qiao Qingqing raised the crossbow and shot an arrow.
She was quite experienced in killing sharks, and her arrows never missed their target. Each arrow was aimed at the same area, while Shao Shengan shot at another area. After five arrows, the shark's fin could no longer be seen.
"It must have sunk, or it could have escaped." Shao Shengan asked Qiao Qingqing if they wanted to chase him.
"It's okay if he ran away, I'm just afraid he'll die. You wait here for me." If the body is not cleaned up, it will definitely attract other sharks.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Qingqing jumped into the water.
Shao Shengan looked down at the water and saw that his wife's figure was like a fish and soon disappeared.
"You guys are awesome, where are you from? Do you have a camp?"
The raft turned back and the people on it asked, "Our camp was destroyed by a group of sharks. There are only a few of us left. Can you take us in? We can merge together."
"The sea is so vast, you should find a place to live by yourselves." Shao Shengan was worried about Qiao Qingqing and was not in the mood to chat with them.
"Well, your kayak still has room. Can you take my brother with you?" A young man holding a piece of wood pushed his brother forward. "My son is very thin and doesn't take up much space!"
Shao Shengan asked them to step back: "Don't come near me."
Looking at the crossbow, the young man pulled his brother back.
Soon Qiao Qingqing came up, threw a piece of shark meat onto the kayak, and then washed the crossbow arrow and handed it to Shao Shengan. Shao Shengan knew that the shark was dead, and hurriedly pulled Qiao Qingqing up.
"Let's go home."
After their boat left, the young man's brother raised his head. He took out the small knife hidden in his trousers. His expression did not look like that of a seven or eight-year-old child at all. He pounced directly on the strongest-looking man on the raft. The people on the raft were still discussing what to do next and whether to follow the people in the kayak. Unexpectedly, the boy pounced on them and slit their throats from behind.
The dozen or so people present screamed.
Ten minutes later, the brothers had a raft.
An hour later, Qiao Qingqing and Shao Shengan came back in a kayak with a piece of shark meat in a wooden barrel.
"I happened to encounter a shark." said Qiao Qingqing.
Zeng Guangyu was simply full of admiration: "Aren't you on patrol? Why did you fight with sharks!" If it were her, she would run as fast and as far as she could if she encountered a shark.
"When I saw a shark chasing someone, I just gave it a hand," said Shao Shengan.
After getting away from those people, the couple skillfully decomposed the shark carcass and dug out a person who had not been fully digested from it. I dare not even think about that scene.
But the shark carcass still has to be taken home. It is food for the chickens and ducks and cannot be wasted.
The shark meat had been cleaned. Shao's father took it and cut it into small pieces. Qiao Songzhi and Shao's mother continued to cut it into fine pieces and then fed it to the chickens and ducks.
The chicks that have learned to swim are now easy to take care of. Just put them in the water and string them together one by one with ropes tied to their feet like ducks. You no longer need to bother looking after them. They enjoy themselves and are growing well.
Qiao Songzhi mixed the chopped shark meat with the chopped seaweed, stirred it, and put it into a wooden basin.
As soon as the water was put into the wooden basin, the chickens and ducks came over immediately and ate a little bit at a time, looking very happy.
Qiao Qingqing looked at it and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
Such days were peaceful and calm until three days later, when Qiao Qingqing felt a shaking beneath her body in the middle of the night.
The shaking woke Qiao Qingqing up immediately. She couldn't help but complain in her heart: Why do problems always occur at night!
"Get up quickly, something happened!" Qiao Qingqing shouted.
Everyone woke up.
"The sea is unstable, everyone be careful!"
The waterproof light was turned on to dispel the darkness and bring light. Under the light, everyone quickly packed up their things.
After a busy and orderly period, the luggage was packed. The water surface was shaking even more violently. Qiao Qingqing felt like she was in a huge basin, which was being lifted up by a giant, who was gathering strength to throw the water out!
"Here are the ropes for you!" Qiao Qingqing threw out two bags, and Song Sanhe and Liu Zhaoyun reached out to catch them.
They tied themselves and their companions with ropes, and finally tied up the wooden boat and the luggage. In less than ten minutes, they were swept away by the surging sea!
Qiao Qingqing held them together as they closed their eyes in the rolling waves, swallowed back their screams, and prayed that the sea would calm down soon.
"Bang!"
The wooden boat was rolled up high and then dropped heavily.
Again and again, Qiao Qingqing's mouth and nose were choked by water. She tried hard to adjust her breathing and found a chance to open her eyes and look around.
The sea tide erected a high wall in front of her, which looked to be more than twenty meters high. Then, under its powerful force, the wall fell down, and then rose again with the next wave.
After just two glances, Qiao Qingqing was forced to close her eyes by the sea water hitting her face. Before closing her eyes, she vaguely saw a wooden boat being swept away to another place.
They were swept by the waves and kept tossing and turning. The bottom of the wooden boat fell into the water at the previous moment, and Qiao Qingqing felt her back hit the boat hard. The next moment, the boat turned over and she fell heavily into the water again.
The salty sea water squeezed into my nose, eyes and ears. At one point, when the pain was so severe that I couldn't help but open my mouth, the sea water gurgled into my throat.
It was unknown how long it had been before Qiao Qingqing fell into a coma. Later, she felt she couldn't breathe and woke up from her coma.
At this time, the roar of the sea finally stopped. Qiao Qingqing felt that she was soaked in water. No wonder she couldn't breathe! She was in pain and exhausted, but she could feel that her family was still around her. The long and strong rope tied them together. Fortunately, they were not washed away.
The situation was very bad now, the whole wooden boat was overturned and they were all under water.
Feeling the struggle of her family members around her, Qiao Qingqing knew she had to hurry up. She took the knife from the space, but her hand almost lost consciousness and she couldn't hold the knife. Ignoring the knife that fell into the water, Qiao Qingqing held her breath and moved her hand first, then took out another knife from the space.
The thick hemp rope was very strong. Even though the wooden boat had been knocked apart, it still tied them to the wood tightly. Qiao Qingqing's hands were shaking. She gradually regained control of her strength and finally cut the rope.
Finally, the family pulled themselves to the surface.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!" As soon as they came out of the water, Shao's mother started coughing heart-wrenchingly, and soon everyone else started coughing too. Qiao Qingqing only felt the fishy and salty taste of sea water in her throat, and it was difficult for her to open her eyes.
Qiao Qingqing coughed up a lot of sea water. She counted it roughly and said, "I, cough, cough!" As soon as she opened her mouth, she felt her throat was swollen and sore, and her voice was extremely hoarse.
"Ahem! Everyone is here, right?" Qiao Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief after taking inventory. The whole family was there. "Where's Zeng Guangyu?" She didn't see Zeng Guangyu.
"Here! Cough, here!" Zeng Guangyu poked his head out from behind Shao Shengfei, only to find that he was blocked by Shao Shengfei.
Everyone looked miserable.
"The boat is broken, everyone hold on to a piece of wood." Shao Shengan used a knife to cut the ropes that tied the broken boat one by one. The wooden boat broke apart, and everyone held on to a piece of wood.
"Are you injured anywhere? Mom, Dad?" Qiao Qingqing asked the others while pulling Qiao Songzhi to check.
Father Shao held Mother Shao and made her lie on the wood. Hearing this, he quickly said, "I didn't, I just choked!"
"No, it's okay! Qingqing, look at Feifei, I heard him screaming!"
Shao Shengfei covered his head with his hands. The wound on his head had been soaked in the water and was no longer bleeding, but the white wound looked very scary.
"It hurts," he said.
The kayak was still tied, but it had leaked and turned into a mess, floating miserably on the water. Qiao Qingqing swam over to look at Shao Shengfei's forehead: "Brother, let me see."
Shao Shengfei's face was pale due to excessive blood loss, and his eyelids were half-closed. Qiao Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief after checking him: "It's no big deal, don't worry. Zeng Guangyu, are you injured?"
"Me? I'm fine, just my hand hurts a little--" Zeng Guangyu supported Shao Shengfei, and suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then he knew nothing.
Qiao Qingqing hugged Zeng Guangyu, put away the needle, took out a new kayak, and together with Shao Shengan, first helped Zeng Guangyu onto the kayak, then helped Qiao Songzhi and Shao's father and mother onto the kayak, and finally Shao Shengfei.
When she was helping Mother Shao, she groaned in pain, her body completely powerless: "My back, my back hurts..."
There was no other choice but for Shao's father to go up first and then pick up Shao's mother.
"You're really quick. I couldn't catch up." Shao Sheng'an raised his hand, but he didn't expect his wife to be even faster. She knocked Zeng Guangyu unconscious with one shot. His voice was hoarse, and he pulled Qiao Qingqing to check if she was injured.
"…Hiss, I'm fine, just a few bruises, how about you?"
"I'm fine too."
Qiao Qingqing took out two medicine boxes: "Take care of what you can handle first, and then there are Dad and Big Brother."
"knew."
