Chapter 408: Discovering the Big Ship
Ye Mingzhu looked intently at the sea surface, and only black spots appeared from time to time on the sea surface in the northwest corner.
At first, she thought it was a fish in the sea jumping out of the water, but after observing carefully for a while, she realized something was wrong. It seemed to be a human head. She stood up and took two more steps.
Although it was far away, she guessed that it was someone floating to the surface to breathe.
Since she came here, she has been engaged in pearl diving for a while and knows that many people need to surface frequently when diving.
Something happened on the island last night, and Jiang Hongyu was so nervous today. In the middle of the night, many people were floating up and down on the sea to breathe. She had a hunch that these people's destination was this island.
She looked around carefully and found no trace of any ship on the sea. This was not normal. No one could swim in the sea all the time. Even if she was holding the pearl, she would not dare to swim in the sea all the time.
Even if she could stop breathing, she would still be tired.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she immediately went to find Jiang Hongyu and told him her guess.
Jiang Hongyu was talking to Ye Lang about something and was also stunned after hearing it.
"You mean someone swam here from the sea?" Ye Lang found it unbelievable. Children who grew up by the sea could swim, but it was unbelievable that they could swim from the sea to the island.
Jiang Hongyu reacted quickly and followed Ye Mingzhu to the location she had just discovered. Under her finger, he also found several people slowly approaching the island.
"Ye Lang, go and notify everyone to be on alert."
When Ye Lang saw this scene, he was also shocked. The movement was too small and could not be seen at all without careful observation.
When Jiang Hongyu called his name, he reflexively turned around to inform others.
Jiang Hongyu frowned and thought, "Last time these people came here by boat, but this time they swam here. What is so special about this island that makes them come here again and again?"
Ye Mingzhu couldn't explain it either, but she guessed that the thieves' boat was nearby. Otherwise, the thieves would be exhausted from swimming all the time and would not have the energy to fight when they got ashore.
"I want to look for a boat. It must be nearby." Ye Mingzhu interrupted Jiang Hongyu's thoughts.
"No," Jiang Hongyu disagreed. "Even if you can find a boat, what if there are people on board? What if you get discovered? It's too dangerous."
"I won't get on the boat. If I find a boat, I will just drill a hole in the bottom of the boat. Without the boat, these people will definitely not be able to leave. You can take them all away." Ye Mingzhu expressed her thoughts.
She had seen countless shipwrecks on the seabed and knew how to sink a ship. Besides, she had the pearl in her hand, so she would not be discovered.
Jiang Hongyu still disagreed, thinking it was too dangerous.
"It would be really dangerous if I stayed on the island. You have to send someone to protect me." Ye Mingzhu said quickly and found that the few people who were heading towards the island just now were getting closer.
She quickly ran in the opposite direction: "I'm going to check the situation on the seabed and will be back soon."
Jiang Hongyu reached out to grab her, but she dodged sideways, waved at him and ran away.
Jiang Hongyu had no time to hesitate. He quickly went to the wounded and told Uncle Yan that there were thieves on the island and asked him to guard the place.
Uncle Yan grabbed him and frowned, "Mingzhu just went out and hasn't come back yet."
Jiang Hongyu pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a bitter smile: "Mingzhu has something to do and is not on the island for the time being."
Uncle Yan and Aunt Qing were both shocked. Ye Mingzhu had no martial arts skills, so where could she go at this time?
Time was tight and there wasn't much time to explain, and many of the wounded had already woken up and were listening to them talk.
"Mingzhu is not in danger for now, Uncle Yan, don't worry, just stay here and guard it."
After Jiang Hongyu finished speaking, he heard the sound of people moving around outside. He knew that Ye Lang had gathered all the people and he still had to make arrangements to fight the enemy. He nodded to Uncle Yan and left.
Aunt Qing clutched Uncle Yan's arm, shaking slightly: "Where is Mingzhu?"
Uncle Yan tried to comfort her carefully. He just thought Ye Mingzhu was just going out to relieve herself, but who knew that she would meet the thieves on the island.
Now Zhi E can comfort himself. Ye Mingzhu is a smart person. Jiang Hongyu also said that she went to do other things and hoped that she would be okay.
Several injured people who were close to Aunt Qing also spoke out to comfort her.
Aunt Qing forced herself to move the corners of her mouth, wanting to say something but swallowing it back. She didn't speak again, but the worry was obvious in her eyes.
Uncle Yan patted her arm and comforted her silently. At this moment, they could only fight the enemy first and deal with other things later.
Everyone on the entire island was on high alert, and Ye Mingzhu had already dived into the sea from the other side of the island.
She swam in the sea for a while before swimming towards the back of the people she had just seen.
In order to avoid being discovered like those people just now, she never surfaced, and her control of direction was not very good. After swimming for about a cup of tea, she still couldn't find the other party's boat.
She was in the water and couldn't hear any sounds from the shore, but she knew it wouldn't be easy to fight the enemy.
She was a little anxious. A small fish passed by her and hit her with its tail. She felt like she was struck by lightning. She needed help.
She flashed into the space and quickly brought the sea beast out.
When the sea beast arrived in the sea, its first reaction was to get close to her and act like a spoiled child, calling out, "Sister, sister."
I don’t know where the sound of this sea beast comes from. For so long, the sea beast can only call "sister" and nothing else.
Ye Mingzhu told the sea beast that she wanted to find a boat and asked the sea beast to take her there.
The sea monster was still shaking its head.
Ye Mingzhu tried hard to express her meaning, hoping that the sea beast could understand.
But the sea monster was either shaking its head or spinning in circles. Ye Mingzhu was at a loss. It seemed that she could no longer rely on it, so she had to look for it herself.
She patted the sea monster's huge head and was about to swim forward, but the sea monster swam away quickly, not forgetting to look back at her.
Ye Mingzhu: ...Did I not express myself clearly just now?
The sea monster took Ye Mingzhu to swim under the sea for a cup of tea and then stopped.
She felt that there was a beach ahead, and if the sea beast swam forward, its body would be exposed. She tentatively poked her head out of the sea, and a small island appeared in front of her, with a large ship on the island.
This island was obviously much smaller than the island where they discovered the gold mine, and it was pitch black, with only trees visible on it.
She looked around blankly, unable to find where she was. Judging from the time she had just swam over, she should be not far from the gold mine island, but the gold mine had been dug for several months and no one had discovered the island.
She observed the sea and did not see anyone moving on the boat.
She thought for a moment, then slowly approached the boat and swam under it.
This island should be an uninhabited island. She didn't see any lights, including on the boat.
