Chapter 291 The Ship with Problems

"You two sons, are you... really going to leave?"

Hongye stood aside, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked.

When Yu Xilin heard this, she thought it was Hongye who was reluctant to let them leave, so she joked with a smile:
"Sister Hongye, if you don't want us to leave, why don't you go back with us? I'll take you to eat candied haws!"

Yu Xilin's words made Hongye's pretty face turn red.

She quickly waved her hands and explained:

"Young Master Yu, you have misunderstood me. I just have something to say to Young Master Lin."

"Oh?"

Yu Xilin raised her eyebrows, her eyes fell on Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was also wondering why Hongye suddenly stopped him, and smiled when he saw it:

"Sister Hongye, if you have anything to say, just say it, I'm listening!"

"Mr. Lin, on the road...you must be careful on the road! The boat...be careful not to leak..."

Before Hongye could finish her words, a guard in black hurried over and interrupted:
"Miss Hongye, my lord welcomes you!"

"Go, I'll be careful!"

Lin Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile.

Hongye bit her lip, but finally lowered her head and turned to leave.

The moment she turned around, tears could not stop falling from her eyes, dripping on her fair skin, and instantly turned into drops of water.

Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin didn't see this scene, and both of them focused their attention on the small boat ahead.

The boat slowly left the pier and headed towards the coastline.

Lin Xiao sat at the stern of the boat, looking at the distant island with deep eyes.

Yu Xilin stood beside her, watching Lin Xiao with complicated eyes:

"Why do I feel that leaving is a little too smooth?"

"Well, it's really strange that it went smoothly. By the way, I have always had a question that I don't understand. Do you have any special marks for members of the Yu clan? Otherwise, how could the lord recognize you as a member of the Yu clan at a glance? ?”

"If you don't tell me, I'll forget about it!"

Yu Xilin was full of confusion, and said while rowing:

"We don't have any special marks! Even if the ancestors of our Yu clan betrayed the lord of the Ming country back then, 1000 years have passed. How could the descendants of the Ming royal family recognize me as the Yu clan at a glance? descendants?"

"Well, there is indeed a problem!"

Lin Xiao nodded, and then his face changed slightly as if he thought of something:

"You said, would they have always been in contact with the outside world?"

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it, just now you asked Hongye if she wanted to go with you, and said you would take her to eat candied haws, but Hongye's reaction didn't look like she was staying on the island all the time."

"How do you know?"

"As a girl who has never been out of the island, does she know what candied haws are? Normally, when she hears about candied haws, she should be very excited!"

"Maybe she doesn't like sweets at all?"

"Even if you don't like sweets, you should be curious to ask, what are candied haws?"

Lin Xiao's analysis made Yu Xilin suddenly realize, and couldn't help but patted his head:
"Oh, why didn't I think of it! If you want to talk about your brain, it's still your hand!"

Lin Xiaobai glanced at Yu Xilin, and said angrily:

"Stop joking! Let's concentrate on rowing!"

"Are we rowing on?"

Lin Xiao opened a map drawn on the fish skin, looked at the boundless sea around him, and nodded affirmatively:

"Well, keep going."

This fish skin map was specially drawn by Ah Hai based on his own sailing experience.

If nothing else, they should be able to make it back to the East Coast without a hitch.

However, just when the two were struggling to row forward...

"I said, young master, can you use some skill when rowing the boat? The sea water has soaked the food!"

Lin Xiao looked depressed and complained, staring at Yu Xilin unhappily, holding fish cakes soaked in seawater.

Yu Xilin twitched the corners of her lips, and fought back unwillingly:
"I've been paddling very carefully, it can't be the water on the oars."

"Isn't it the water on the oars, is it the boat leaking?"

Lin Xiao's eyes widened, with an expression of "I don't believe it".

Yu Xilin ignored Lin Xiao and continued to paddle vigorously, but they found that there seemed to be more and more seawater in the cabin.
"How could this be?"

Yu Xilin panicked, he stopped paddling quickly, and leaned forward to check the cabin carefully.

The two checked the boat inside and out, and finally found a small hole in an inconspicuous place, from which sea water was pouring in continuously.

Yu Xilin was dumbfounded for a few seconds, then reacted and shouted:

"Damn it! They gave us a wreck! It's killing us!"

Lin Xiao frowned, calmed down for a moment and said:
"My lord never thought of letting us go back alive!"

"What should we do now? I'm afraid this boat won't last long!"

"What else can we do? Turn around and row back. If we're lucky, we might be able to return to the island before the ship sinks!"

Lin Xiao gritted her teeth, glared at Yu Xilin fiercely, and said:
"Why are you standing there? Hurry up and turn around!"

Yu Xilin also knew that time could not be delayed, so she immediately rowed the boat, turned the bow and headed back.

"Whoa!"

As soon as the two of them turned the boat away from the hull, the boat couldn't bear the turbulence of the waves and instantly tilted. Then, the boat rolled violently, and the small hole in the cabin was washed away by the sea water to open a gap, and then the sea water poured in frantically. in.

"Oops!"

"Run away!"

Lin Xiao and Yu Xilin exclaimed at the same time, and hurriedly grabbed what they could grab.

In the next second, the boat was completely submerged
"Ah! Help!"

Lin Xiao struggled desperately, but he could only hear his own voice. Sea water poured into his nose, lungs, and throat continuously, as if he was about to suffocate.

Yu Xilin was even more unbearable, because of the invasion of sea water, his legs had lost their senses.

The two were like drowning people, kicking, punching, and struggling desperately, trying to surface.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get rid of the shackles of the sea water, and could only watch their bodies sink deeper and deeper...

"Pfft~"

Suddenly, a severe dizziness spread throughout the body.

Lin Xiao felt himself being pulled up by a huge force, and then... nothing more
……

"Awake! He's awake!"

"That's great! He woke up at last!"

"Thank's God!"

Lin Xiao was in a coma when she heard a familiar voice in her ears, and then she felt her body lighten up, and her whole body regained its balance.
