Poor family farming: the sick and weak scholar's wife is very sturdy

Chapter 259
The island is surrounded by the vast sea, except for these few coconut trees, there are no buildings.

The two looked at each other, and a desperate thought arose in each other's hearts, what should they do?
At this time, Lin Xiao found some people lying on the beach not far away. They seemed to be injured, and their clothes were stained red with blood.

He and Yu Xilin hurried over to help them up, and they turned out to be crew members and craftsmen.

Although their ship was destroyed by the storm, fortunately at least half of the crew and craftsmen are still alive!

"Do you know which island this is?"

Lin Xiao asked an older crew member.

The crew shook their heads:
"I don't know, this island has never been here"

"Then how far is the ocean from the mainland?"

Yu Xilin asked again.

"It's about 100 nautical miles!"

The older crew member hesitated for a while, but still spoke out.

"so far!"

Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin gasped at the same time.

To leave here smoothly, you must make several strong and huge rafts!

Otherwise, over 100 nautical miles, the small raft can't hold it at all!
It seems that we must make long-term plans!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao secretly sighed, and said to everyone:

"Everyone, don't be discouraged. We have a lot of people and strength. We have a chance to leave this island. As long as we work together..."

Before Lin Xiao finished speaking, the elderly crew member suddenly said:

"More than 100 nautical miles, this is my rough estimate. As for how many nautical miles it is, no one knows. You are just a noble son from the capital, what can you understand?!"

The older crew member is A Hai, in his 30s, an old crew member who has lived with his parents on the ship since he was born, and has rich sailing experience. Zhou Ting specially assigned him to Lin Xiao, with the purpose of being Lin Xiao's helper.

But because of his age and rich experience, Ah Hai looked down on Lin Xiao, thinking that she was just a pampered young master who didn't know the hardships and dangers at sea!
Lin Xiao's face suddenly sank, this Ah Hai's words are too rude!

The most important thing at this time is unity, and we must not be wiped out because of internal conflicts!
"A Hai, I know you can't understand me, but don't forget, we are now grasshoppers on the same line, we both prosper and we lose, I don't care about other things, I just ask you, we will continue to stay by the sea , or find a safe place to rest for the night?"

Lin Xiao's tone was flat, but it revealed a powerful majesty.

Hearing this, Ah Hai had a look of contempt on his face.

He snorted coldly:
"What safe place can you find? If you want to survive, from now on, please let go of your noble young master's temper and obediently obey my orders, otherwise, none of you will survive tonight!"

After hearing these words, Lin Xiao almost couldn't laugh out loud.

She really couldn't understand, how could Ah Hai be so arrogant and domineering, self-righteous?

However, she was too lazy to talk to Ah Hai:
"In this case, let's each find a place that they think is safe to live!"

Although Lin Xiao's tone was gentle, it was full of undoubted toughness, which made people dare not defy.

Ah Hai was a little stunned when he heard the words, but he didn't expect Lin Xiao's attitude to change so quickly. An ominous premonition arose in his heart, but he still insisted:
"can!"

After all, he looked at the craftsman and the crew:
"What do you say? Do you want to eat hot and spicy food with me, or stay here with the nobles to feed the fish?"

The craftsman and the crew looked at each other, and they both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

Seeing their reactions, Lin Xiao knew that their choice was the former.

Sure enough, under Ah Hai's coercion and lure, everyone except Yu Xilin agreed to follow Ah Hai.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but shook his head, and then said to Yu Xilin:

"Let's go!"

Yu Xilin looked at Lin Xiao, then at the group of people, and said hesitantly:

"But they."

"It's ok!"

Lin Xiao smiled slightly and said:

"Let's take care of ourselves first!"

Lin Xiao didn't look for a shelter first, but walked along the beach with Yu Xilin to survey the topography of the island.

This is a small island surrounded by water, and the center of the island is surrounded by dense forests.

These trees all need fresh water irrigation, so it can be seen that there must be lakes in the forest!

However, this also means that the forest is full of dangers, and there are even many dangerous beasts. If you enter rashly, you will definitely die!
"Xiao Linzi, can you do it? Otherwise, let's give in to Ah Hai..."

"If you want to convince yourself to go, I will definitely not go!"

Lin Xiao interrupted Yu Xilin angrily, and then walked up a hill by himself.

"Oh, don't be angry, I'm just afraid that you will try to be brave!"

Yu Xilin chased after Lin Xiao and shouted, but Lin Xiao ignored him and went straight to the hill.

Yu Xilin had no choice but to follow Lin Xiao towards the hill.

The hill is not big and it is easy to climb up.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Lin Xiao saw a cave not far away, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and immediately ran to the cave.

This is a cave formed by nature. The walls of the cave are very smooth. The rocks inside are a kind of blue-purple, which looks like gems, and the air inside is very fresh.

The entrance of the cave is very wide, and three people stand side by side in it without feeling crowded.

Lin Xiao quickly made a simple torch, took out the torch in his arms and lit it. Fortunately, the torch can still be used after being baptized by sea water.

She held a torch and walked into the cave. The cave was very spacious and could accommodate more than a dozen people walking side by side.

"Well, it's not bad here, let's live here!"

Lin Xiao was very satisfied with the hole.

"It's not too close to the seaside or the forest, do you really want to live here?"

Yu Xilin asked with some concern.

There is a certain distance from the seaside and the forest, which means that it is not convenient to find food and fresh water.

Moreover, such a big hole might be the lair of some beast. They occupy the magpie's nest, can the beast agree?

The more Yu Xilin thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao felt amused, this guy was a little too timid.

She pulled Yu Xilin's sleeve to the entrance of the cave, and said to the sea not far away:
"Don't look at the calm here now, once the storm starts, our cave will be the best safe haven!"

"really?"

"Try it and you'll know. Even if the entrance of the cave can't keep out the wind and rain, the inside of the cave should be okay, right?"

"But... what if this hole is..."

"You fear this hole is a den of beasts, don't you?"

Facing Lin Xiao's straightforwardness, Yu Xilin scratched her head in embarrassment:

"I didn't mean that either..."

Lin Xiao pulled Yu Xilin back into the cave again, carefully illuminated the cave again with a torch, and then said:

"The inspection is clear. There is no animal feces in the cave. It can be judged that there are no wild animals in this cave. You should be able to relax now, right?"
