Chapter 884 Survival on a Deserted Island
On the shore of the deserted island, there is a reef that stands abruptly on the steep shore, which is more than twenty feet high, like a mountain.
A young man in black was holding a seabird leg with only bones left in his hand. He stood on the top of the reef and looked at the end of the sea from time to time. From time to time, he stuffed his leg bones into his mouth and added a few strokes. His face looked like wood without any expression.
"It's almost a month old, why don't you even have a ghost!"
After a long time, the young man finally sighed listlessly, and threw the bird's leg bones in his hand far into the surging waves under the reef.
“Huh~”
Just as the man was unhappy about to leave the top of the reef, he couldn't help but change his face, and then he jumped up and looked northwest. On the whistling sea, he vaguely saw several small black spots appearing.
"Boat, haha, the boat is here!" After observing again for a few minutes, the young man jumped down from the reef in excitement, then rushed out of the woods and headed straight for the beach.
"Boat, where did the boat come from?"
Hearing the cheers of young men crying and wolves, a middle-aged man who looked like an old farmer came out in the wooden house on the shore with a big sword, and a young and beautiful woman came out from each of the other two wooden houses, a group of tattered colored groups and a long blue skirt. Almost at the same time, several motus and a group of tattered boys, girls and children also ran out of the room and the woods.
"There are three sea boats in the northwest direction!" The young man rushed to the sea and looked at the vast vast sea, dancing like a chicken feet wind.
"Senior brother, you read it wrong? Today's storm is approaching, how can a boat go out to sea?" The girl in black dress also looked on tiptoe.
"I will definitely be able to see it if I wait a little longer!" The young man was very excited.
"Idiot, even if a boat comes, it must be Huangshi Gong. Can you beat him?" The woman in a long blue dress couldn't help but hum.
"Hehe, what if it's not Huangshi Gong's big ship, maybe it's someone who sent someone to find our big ship..." The young man laughed dryly, then couldn't help but lick his mouth and said, "I don't know how many delicious food my beloved has made on my back, and the birds faded out of his mouth on this broken island!"
"Idiot, maybe your benefactor has forgotten you a long time ago. He is at home with his beautiful wife and has fun every night, but... the food made by that guy is indeed very delicious. The five-spice spicy tofu is very good, but the black pepper steak is the best..."
"Gudong~" The man in black couldn't help swallowing his saliva and looked at the woman in blue, "What is black pepper steak?"
"I don't know, it is a kind of beef cooked on a pottery dish. It has a rich and fragrant aroma and tender meat. I came to find you and ate it once in his villa before, and then I dreamed of it several times!" Although the woman in green looked very unhappy, her tone of answering was full of temptation.
"Brother Yu read that right, there are indeed three big ships coming!"
Just as a group of people gathered on tiptoe on the beach, in the whistling and rolling waves, they saw the shadows of three sea boats appear, and then they became clearer and clearer. After two minutes, the outline of the sea boat could be seen.
"It's Huangshi Gong's big ship!" Gongsun Beiyan shook her head with a dim expression.
"Oh!" Yu Wuya couldn't help but sigh, and reached out to pull out the long sword on his back and inserted it on the beach.
"Brother Yu, don't be impulsive!" Gai Nie couldn't help reminding.
"Hmph, you are so powerful. When you caught me, why are you timid? "Yu Wuya snorted softly, and said with a long sword, "When the big ship is docked later, we will kill you and snatch the sea ship!"
"Senior brother's injury has not healed, so don't be impulsive and wait and see if it changes later!" Shui Qingrou said softly.
"I also advise you not to be impulsive. There are giant crossbows, continuous crossbows, and moon blade crossbows on the big ship. If you see that you are inappropriate, you will be shot into a sieve before you even rush onto the big ship!" Mo Tu Han Zheng stood behind and said coldly.
"You are farther away from my junior sister, be careful that I will poke you into a sieve now!" Yu Wuya turned his head and glanced at Han Zheng.
Han Zheng's face turned pale in an instant, and he lowered his head and quickly took a few steps back.
After staying on the isolated island with Yu Wuya and others for more than a month, Shui Qingrou's beauty and loneliness with a faint sadness deeply attracted him like a peerless and independent orchid blooming. However, for Shui Qingrou's identity, he was full of respect and uneasy. He wanted to get close but did not dare to have any insignificance.
But after all, there are only a few people on the deserted island. Everyone saw his frequent attentiveness and clumsiness, including Shui Qingrou himself, and he also understood the young Mo Pu's thoughts, but he would not let Shui Qingrou have any other thoughts. There was only one man in the world who could make her moved, but she dared not face that person again, and could only bury this kind of deep longing day after day in her heart.
Half an hour later, three flat-bottomed sea boats, twenty feet long, finally docked near the coast with countless boatmen shouting trumpets, and the thick cables were thrown down. A group of shipmen got off the boat, built wooden ladders and springboards and began to transport steel and coal stone downwards.
On the big ship, hundreds of Mo Pu were staring at Yu Wuya, Gai Nie and others with swords and Yuebian crossbows in hand.
Han Zheng took four Mo Tutos on the boat to inquire, but the boatman who was carrying steel, coal and stone back and forth ignored Yu Wuya and others who were standing by the beach and looking at him. Even no one with a strong reputation came down to ask about the situation.
"What are they doing?" Yu Wuya watched the boatmen coming and going transport baskets of steel, coal and stone into several wooden houses, and asked Gai Nie in a low voice in confusion.
"I don't know!" Gai Nie shook his head in confusion.
"Are they planning to smelify iron and build weapons here to rebel?" Gongsun Beiyan murmured.
"Impossible, Huangshi Gong has only three or five hundred men under his command. Last year, more than one hundred ships capsized in the sea and died. Even if weapons are created, there are thousands of lieutenants in Langya County alone, well-equipped, and there is only one way to rebel!" Gai Nie shook his head again.
"It's a dead end..." Gongsun Beiyan, with messy hair and shabby dress, murmured softly as she looked at the people coming and going on the beach, with a touch of desolation and despair that had never been seen before in her eyes.
The three large ships did not stay on the island for long. They set off after an hour, leaving only steel and coal stone piled up with a few wooden houses. From beginning to end, no disciples of the Mo family or alchemists came down to talk to them, and they were completely considered as if they did not exist.
During this period, Yu Wuya also wanted to draw his sword and rush onto a big ship several times, but was pulled by Shui Qingrou.
There is only one dead end to rush onto the ship. As Han Zheng said, he will be shot into a sieve directly.
"Come here!" Watching the three big ships rise and fall in the waves, Yu Wuya waved and called Han Zheng over.
"What's the matter?" Han Zheng walked over with his sword tightly holding the hilt.
"I'm so nervous, I'll ask you, why did Huangshi Gong suddenly transport so much steel and coal stone?"
"Lu Sheng is responsible for transporting steel and coal stones. He is not very clear about it. However, he just revealed that the emperor's parade has left Langya, and the newly built sea ship can be completed in more than a month. Recently, there will be steel, coal, and even some women to transport it..." Han Zheng did not hide it and roughly said what he had just asked about on the boat.
Yu Wuya was stunned for a long time, then squeezed his chin and murmured: "We can go back to Langya in a month?"
Han Zheng opened his mouth, but he swallowed the words behind him, while Gai Nie, who was standing next to him, shook his head and said, "You are thinking too much. Huangshi Gong will never let us go. We have only two endings. One is to be abandoned and fend for oneself on this deserted island, and the other is to follow them to sea to find Yingzhou."
Yu Wuya frowned, grabbed the hair of the fastener, which was tied into a threadbare and gritted his teeth and said, "We must find a way to escape, otherwise we will die in the sea for the rest of our lives. My benefactor said that there is no so-called Yingzhou Immortal Island outside the East China Sea, and Huangshi Gong cannot succeed!"
"Escape, how can you escape? It's more than a hundred miles away from Langya, and you can't escape without a sea boat!" Gai Nie covered his chest and coughed for a few times, then spit out a mouthful of blood and sputum, then turned around and walked into a wooden house.
"Senior brother, it's windy outside, so you can go into the wooden house to rest. If you want to escape, you must first take care of your health!" Shui Qingrou said, holding Yu Wuya's arm.
"Junior sister, if you have the chance, your senior brother will definitely fight to the death. Don't worry about me then, you must find a way to escape..."
"Senior brother, don't be anxious. If Mr. Huangshi can't find Yingzhou in the sea, he will definitely return to the Central Plains again. The escape must be discussed with a long-term plan!"
"Oh, let's go!" Yu Wuya sighed and looked at the sea boat that was leaving, turned around and slowly approached a wooden house.
In the following period, sea boats would come almost every one or two days. In addition to transporting steel, coal and stone, dozens of young girls were also sent one after another, ranging from twelve to 13 to 16 or 17 years old. Some were worn out and looked like poor women, while others were well-dressed. They should be the daughters of wealthy families, but they were almost frightened to the point of collapse.
Shui Qingrou and Gongsun Beiyan comforted and asked, and these girls were all stolen.
"What exactly do Huangshi Gong and those alchemists want to do?"
Several people gathered in Gai Nie's room to discuss this matter.
"Do you still have to think about this? You must have snatched it and have fun on the boat. There are not many female crabs in this vast sea. They have been going to sea for several months and half a year at a time. What else can they do except waste women?" Yu Wuya said with a twitch.
"Brother Yu's guess must be good. Uncle Nie and I were captured by them before, and I lived with them on the sea boat and this deserted island for more than half a year. The boys and girls were ruined by these mobs and alchemists, and there were crying day and night!" Gongsun Beiyan nodded pale.
