Daming Haikou

There are no people on the island, so naturally there is no one to help them. No one can tell exactly where it is at the moment. Only Liu Laoliu has spent the longest time on the sea. It is roughly guessed that this island should be in Xiaohuang The northeast direction of the island, but it is hard to say more specifically.

After Meng Biao was bitten by a snake, everyone found many traces of snakes on the island, and they couldn't help feeling a little bit insecure, for fear that it would be their turn next, so everyone discussed overnight and decided to leave the island as soon as possible It would be better to go back to land, but after dawn, everyone checked the ship carefully again, but found that their idea of ​​leaving as soon as possible was simply unrealistic.

Because in the previous hurricane, the ship suffered relatively large damage at sea. Many seams on the hull of the small boat began to leak due to the excessive force, and the water leaks were serious. After the night passed, the cabin was empty. Infiltrated a lot of sea water.

Moreover, they had already lost their masts in the hurricane. Although they kept the sails, they could no longer use the broken sails on the ship. It is also very difficult to successfully return to the land or return to Xiaohuangdao. Otherwise, the boat will soon sink in the sea due to water leakage. Even if you insist on it, if you are subjected to a little bit of wind and waves, the boat will definitely not be able to keep it. In that case, if they insist on leaving here, it will be almost like courting death.

In desperation, everyone had no choice but to change their minds in the end, and decided to simply repair the boat here first, mend the seams as much as possible, and deal with the leaking problem. Get out of here and make sure they can find land or go straight back to Little Yellow Island.

Meng Biao's snake bite was not as serious as everyone imagined, probably because the snake that bit him was not a poisonous snake, or because Yu Xiaotian treated his wound in a timely manner and was able to effectively suck out most of the snake's venom. In addition, the herbal medicine collected by Liu Laoliu to treat snakebite may also be effective, so although his leg was a little swollen after being bitten, the wound was a little blue and black, and he was a little dizzy, but after a night's rest, he His injury did not develop in a more serious direction, and after a long sleep, his spirit was not bad.

After Yu Xiaotian bound his legs, he loosened the rope for a minute or two every half an hour to an hour to ensure the blood circulation of his legs, so as not to cause his legs to be injured due to the severe blockage of blood circulation. cause necrosis.

After daybreak, Liu Laoliu found two kinds of herbs on the island, crushed half of them and applied them to his wound, and made the other half into a decoction for him to take orally. Meng Biao's snakebite was effectively curbed. He didn't continue to develop in a bad direction, and his spirit was better. Moreover, this guy was more skinny, and his resistance was quite good. After taking the medicine, he started to be able to eat and drink again, so Crazy Meng was relieved. Thank God for blessings, while thanking Yu Xiaotian and Liu Laoliu again and again.

In the next few days, everyone kept busy on the island, using everything they could find and use, to start repairing their damaged boat.

There is limestone on the island, which is turned into lime after being burned on the fire, plus a limited amount of broken hemp rope and smashed and dried bark fibers, and some plant ash, plus they temporarily use fish bladders to boil Isinglass and turpentine scraped from the mountain pine were used to fill the leaking seams on the ship, and they were tamped with wooden wedges, which basically solved the problem of ship leakage.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian took a black head and found a straight pine tree on the island. After cutting it down, it was dragged to the seaside. It was used as a temporary mast on the ship, and some wooden nails were cut to strengthen the damaged hull. Although the mast was not as strong and durable as the previous mast, and the height was not enough, at least half of the sail could be raised. Compared with them leaning against the oars, it saves much effort, which provides a strong guarantee for them to leave this deserted island.

As for the rudder, they repaired and strengthened it again. After trying it out, it was usable. Although it was very crude, the basic sailing ability of the ship was still restored. As for the complete repair of the ship , with their current resources, there is no need to think about it for the time being, and everything can only be discussed after returning to Xiaohuangdao.

Because there are many snakes on the island, they have to move around the island. In order to prevent anyone from being bitten by poisonous snakes again, everyone found rags and put on leggings for themselves, wrapped their calves tightly, and Try to go to places with a lot of grass as little as possible, always keep a wooden stick in your hand, and beat in the surrounding grass from time to time, so as to beat the grass and scare the snakes away, and move around the island so carefully, finally no one is killed by a snake The case of bites.

As for the problem of food and fresh water, they are not worried. There is accumulated rainwater in the small cave on the island, which is enough for them to drink. Although there is no food on board, there are many birds on the deserted island, and countless seabirds inhabit here To reproduce, you can pick up enough bird eggs at your fingertips, and after night, you can also catch seabirds very easily.

In addition, there are a lot of snakes on the island, just kill a few of them casually, chop off the snake's head, peel off the skin and remove the internal organs, and then you can cook a pot of quite rich snake soup. Sometimes seabirds and snakes are stewed together. With a bitter smile, he said it was dragon and phoenix soup.

In addition, there are still a large number of shellfish and crabs on the beaches around the deserted island, and occasionally some sea fish trapped in puddles during low tide can be caught on the beach, so after Yu Xiaotian and his group landed on the island, I no longer have to worry about food.

Moreover, in order to store food for the next trip to sea, these people will also catch birds, snakes, fish, and bird eggs that will not be eaten for a while, and either boil them with salt to pickle them, or smoke them with pine branches to dry them and store them in the air. Well everything is ready.

Although there were two heavy rains during the period, everyone hid in the small cave and did not suffer too much. In addition, they collected a lot of fresh water and filled the small water tank on the boat with fresh water.

Under their busyness, that is, in the blink of an eye, they stayed on the island for the first day. With their joint efforts, the ship was gradually repaired. After landing on the island, the tenth One morning, after the final careful inspection, everyone confirmed that there was no major problem, and then pushed the boat back into the sea again. First, they swung the oars to drive the boat away from the beach, then raised the sails, and headed towards the southeast with the help of the sea wind. Driving in the opposite direction, leaving this small desert island behind.

Seeing the windy sails driving the boat forward, the group of people on board, old or young, couldn't help cheering. Even these days, because they were bitten by snakes, they have been lying down and doing nothing. Meng Biao, who is still alive, has recovered a lot at this time. He can't help but sit up in the cabin, watching the sea and screaming strangely. The snake wound seems to heal even more in an instant. Crazy Meng was scolded, and at the same time he was severely despised by the black head and another young man.

With the sails, the boat sailed much more smoothly on the sea. Liu Laoliu, Ma Mian and others carefully observed the sky for a while when they went out to sea, and concluded that the typhoon that almost killed them has completely passed by now. , there should be no more strong winds on the sea in a short time, so they began to sail towards the southeast.

After more than a day of sailing, everyone on the boat saw the land from a distance, and everyone cheered again. After careful observation, Liu Laoliu, Madman Meng and others immediately confirmed their location.

"Haha! Horse face! Do you see it? Do you remember where this is?" Liu Laoliu patted the side of the boat while laughing and asked the horse face.

The horse's face stared at the land in the distance, and the smile on the long face became shorter now, and he replied with a smile: "Of course, I'm not blind, isn't this the place where we went to sea? Haha! It's good now." Alright! If things go on like this, if things go well, we will be able to return to Xiaohuangdao in at most one day and one night! Adjust the sails, adjust the sails! Crazy Meng, turn the rudder, we are here anyway, we don't have to go to the shore any more Well, let's just go back to the island directly!

It is estimated that the people on the island have not seen us back for such a long time, and they don't know what to do in a hurry. Maybe they have burned paper for us! "

After Yu Xiaotian saw the land, he was also very excited. After suffering for so many days, he finally survived again. Although he didn't know what this place was, from what Liu Laoliu and Ma Fian said , he can basically guess that this place is not far from their little Huangdao. Fortunately, they cut off the mast early, otherwise God knows if they will be blown to Java.

The next voyage can be said to be smooth sailing. Although the mast is low, the sails cannot be fully raised, and the sails are not strong enough to withstand the wind, but this means that the speed of the ship is slower than before, and it is more troublesome to adjust the sails. It was improvised, which made it easy for the ship to go off track sometimes, but with old sea wolves like Crazy Meng and Ma Lian controlling the rudder, it wouldn't go too far.

On the way, they also bypassed the Shuangfeng Island where pirates are often entrenched. From a distance, they even saw two unidentified ships appearing outside Shuangfeng Island. According to Liu Laoliu, those two ships must be pirates. The other party must have seen their small broken boat, but obviously the pirates were not interested in their small broken boat, so they let them sail past Shuangfeng Island and enter the waterway outside Dongchong Peninsula.

In short, compared to Liu Laoliu's original expectation, they saw Xiaohuangdao a little later. When they saw Xiaohuangdao appearing in front of them, everyone became excited again. This time they went out to sea and encountered a typhoon. It came so suddenly that it almost cost the lives of their entire crew. Now after so many twists and turns, they have finally returned to this small island that they depend on for survival, including Yu Xiaotian who has just arrived, I couldn't help but get a little excited, standing on the boat and shouting at Xiaohuangdao from a distance.

When they approached Xiaohuang Island, the people on the island also saw their boats. After a while, some people rushed to the beach, jumping and jumping, and some people even cried, as if to welcome them. Their return is average.

Yu Xiaotian glanced at the small island. Out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glanced at the southern part of the island. He wanted to see the boat that belonged to him hidden in the small bay in the south of the island, but he didn't see the main boat protruding from the bay. Seeing the mast of the ship, he was slightly startled in his heart, and quickly looked carefully, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the mast that should be in Xiaoshuiwan, and his heart sank.

But Yu Xiaotian wasn't too worried, after all, after more than ten days since they went out to sea and lost news, the people on the island would inevitably be worried about them, maybe the people on the island sailed out to sea to find them, So after he thought of this, he was somewhat relieved.
